Losing HST will hurt students
I don’t know how many more times I can say it, but going back to the PST-GST would be a big blow to B.C.’s post secondary students. The HST referendum is just around the corner and we are being asked whether we want to pay less or more tax. Keep the 10 per cent HST or bring back the 12 per cent PST-GST.

Breaking: UBC's Got Talent Sold Out
The Chan Centre just informed me that all of the 1100 seats for UBC’s Got Talent have been claimed. Sixteen talented performers will rock the Chan on January 14 starting at 8. Any seats not claimed by 7:45 will be released to the standby line-up. Prof. Toope and I rehearsed last week and will be ready to sing Sweet Dreams by Eurythmics! Looking forward to it!

AMS @ Student Leadership Conference 2011
I’m pleased to announce that the AMS has put together a swag package for the delegates at the Student Leadership Conference. We’ll hand it out at the end of the conference in the lobby of the Chan Centre.  Among other exciting things, it includes a discount coupon for our food outlets in the Student Union Building.  See you there!
