The VP Admin looks after all the AMS clubs, helps manage the Nest as well as liaises between clubs, constituencies, resource groups and the society. This big important job requires big important questions. Among all the questions from Ubyssey News about platforms and the nice pictures and profiles they get, we thought we’d ask some other types of important questions. What is their favourite building? Have they seen Nardwuar? Punk or country?
Sylvester (Sly) Mensah Jr.
What do you normally order when you go to a coffee shop?
I love a good chai tea latte, but with only about 50 per cent sweetness.
What is the best building on campus?
The Nest, of course! And hopefully made even better with Sly in office. Shameless self plug!
What is the worst building on campus?
The Iona Building – it’s cold and absolutely terrifying at night, and as a [bachelor of international economic] student, too many hours of my life have been spent there.
Blue Chip or Loafe?
Definitely Blue Chip. Although the avocado toast at Loafe is quite good.
What was the best trend of the 2010s?
Silly bands, hands down!
Have you ever seen Nardwuar in real life?
Unfortunately not, although seeing Nardwuar before graduation is definitely on my bucket list.
Without looking it up, what is the capital of Belarus?
Minsk. I did not look that up, I promise.
Punk or country?
To be honest, neither. But if I had to choose, I'd say punk. Why? Avril Lavigne.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
A hot dog is a hot dog.
Aidan Wilson
What do you normally order when you go to a coffee shop?
I love lattes, but being a broke college student drip coffee is the most I can afford.
What is the best building on campus?
The Nest, hands down. It is one of the few places on campus where there are actual activities to do other than study.
What is the worst building on campus?
If UBC had a prison, it would be Brock Hall.
Blue Chip or Loafe?
Both are great, but they fill different roles in my life. Blue Chip is for caffeine in a pinch; where Loafe is definitely the sit down contemplate life until your coffee gets cold kind of experience.
What was the best trend of the 2010s?
Planking, because it let me know which of my friends were dumb.
Have you ever seen Nardwuar in real life?
Once, but only briefly. He "Evaporated" before my eyes.
Without looking it up, what is the capital of Belarus?
Minsk. My History and Political Science background wouldn't let me forget obscure facts like that.
Punk or country?
Wow, never before have I had to choose between two absolutely appalling options. I refuse.
Is a hot dog a sandwich?
No. Sandwiches use two pieces of bread, while a Hot Dog has one interconnected bun. Cereal isn't soup, these distinctions are important.
