[June 19] UTAMA Club Room Grand Re-Opening and Manga Sale/Dinner and a Movie

Enjoying your summer? UTAMA's here to make it even better!

On June 19th, come check out our newly-furnished club room at 21 Sussex Ave., Room 532. Play video games, hang out with your friends, and while you're there, be sure to purchase some manga from our old collection! Due to the overwhelming amount of donations we've received over the years, we need to get rid of a few. Manga will be sold on a pay-what-you-want model, starting at 50 cents per volume. Be sure to follow our Facebook pages for more information!

After you're done getting acquainted with your new second home, how about dinner and a movie? We'll be heading from the office to WO20, on the corner of Bloor and St. George, for a special screening of One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island. There'll be a sandwich station set up along with chips and drinks.

Be sure to come out and support the club you love! See you there!

******* Important Election Notice *******

******* Important Election Notice *******

As a result of the availability of new information, some changes need to be made for our current election.

1. We must repeal the rule that candidates may be able to run for two positions. All candidates who have sent applications for two positions will be notified by email or Facebook, and ask that they choose one position.

2. We are re-opening applications on ALL positions until Thursday at 11:59 PM. In addition to this, we are repealing the rule that applicants running for President or Vice-President must be current executives. As such, all applicants will be valid to run for these positions.

Please email all applications to utama.elections@gmail.com. All applicants must be a member of the U of T community. Applications require only your name and contact information.

We're deeply sorry about the unfortunate circumstances which have brought upon this sudden change and we have worked towards the best possible situation for all candidates. Thank you for your patience, and good luck.
