Here’s the info I have so far about who’s planning to enter the VFM contest. Please note these are not confirmed entries, just talk I have heard about people’s plans. Last I heard, no one had yet paid the $100 entry fee, submitted a registration form, and been approved by the Elections Committee. Once that happens, their info should appear at www.ams.ubc.ca/elections or www.ams.ubc.ca/elections/vfm.html .
1. The Knoll (newspaper) – see www.theknoll.ca/vfm.
2. Gina Eom and Tim Louman-Gardiner.
3. Stephanie Ryan (and someone?).
4. The Underground (Arts Undergrad Society newspaper) – see www.aus.ubc.ca/underground.
5. The 432 (Science Undergrad Society newspaper) is considering entering – see www.sus.ubc.ca/publications.cfm.
6. A group of UBC School of Journalism students.
7. Heard something about two students planning a magazine called “Election Erection” – gotta see that!
The Ubyssey is not planning to enter. As I understand it, one reason is that they cover the election anyway.
