Obi-Wan Kenobi is running unopposed for AUS VP Finance, after his only opponent was disqualified for failing to appear at the All Candidates Meeting. This means there will be a yes/no ballot question next to Obi-Wan Kenobi's name.
Thankfully we have in Obi-Wan an experienced representative, who will be able to take his experiences from the Jedi High Council and apply them to issues facing the AUS.
Spectator met with Obi-Wan Kenobi for an interview today, to gauge his reaction at his lack of opposition and what he plans to do as VP Finance.
Spectator: Thank you for taking this time to sit down with us Mr. Kenobi. With the relief of the Arts County Fair debt, Arts essentially has received an additional $30,000, however several arts students have expressed that they don’t feel services have increased despite the new funds being available. How do you respond?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Patience. Use the force. Think.
Spectator: So does that mean you’d want a more consultative approach? Or perhaps students taking the lead and identifying services they feel are missing, and bringing forward plans to deal with them?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Don’t do anything without consulting myself and Council.
Spectator: Some students believe that there needs to be more fun on campus, going so far as to identify a War on Fun at UBC, and the failure of Arts Week has made some think that the AUS has improvements to make in this department. How do you respond?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Be mindful of your thoughts Anakin. They’ll betray you.
Spectator: My name isn’t Anakin, but I’m more confused about the rest of your comment to be honest. Do you believe students are wrong to think that the AUS should make improvements to some of the failures of last year, such as Arts Week?
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin! Don’t let your personal feelings get in the way!
Spectator: I don’t believe I am, also I'm still not Anakin. I’m trying to express what numerous individuals have told me regarding what they’d like to see happen next year. I might add that you’re the one raising your voice.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: If you spent as much time practicing your saber techniques as you did your wit, you'd rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.
Spectator: Alright...Quite honestly, I’m so thoroughly bewildered by your responses, I believe I’ll vote no on the ballot, since I can’t imagine you’d be any better as VP Finance than you are as an interviewee.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You want to vote yes.
Spectator: I want to vote yes.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: You think I’ll be an excellent VP Finance.
Spectator: I think you’ll be an excellent VP Finance.
