Hi everyone,
Just a friendly reminder that your democratic right to vote can be acted
upon today and tomorrow in the election of next year's GSA executive.
We're electing a President, 3 Vice Presidents, and 3 Senators. We need
you to vote so that we have leadership next year to look after the
important business of the association. (There is a fair bit of money
under the association's control, so an absent executive would be a bad
thing!)
Vote outside the GSA office, at 221 University Centre,
today (Thursday): between 1 - 7 PM
tomorrow (Friday): between 1 and 4:30 PM
Thanks
Simon.
Please let me know if you wish to nominate a student for this.

Please read the following.....if you are not able to figure out who this
is, please e-mail me and I will let you know.....again, this is a secret!
A riddle for those so inclined
To identify the gal who declined
to have this "F'th" birthday advertised
she wouldn't think it a'tall wise
to have this day so headlined!
But who could ever resist
To tell all that she came to exist
A half a century ago
This honour we should bestow
For sure I know she'll be _issed!
A celebration I think would be nifty
For the gal who that day turns F'fty
We'll have pancakes, waffles and beverages too
And anything else you might like to construe
I know you're all pretty shifty!
So come one and come all
To 218 Agricultural
February 27, 10 in the morning
This gal should receive no warning
For we'd have to listen to her all day squall!
