******* 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.

The Gaming Tournament (Return of the Brackets of Hell) (Room 2199)
Han will be taking charge with the gaming tournaments - Smash 4, and maybe Mario Kart? Even if you're not into the competitive scene, there will be a ton of other games to try out. ($2 entry, amiibo prize) Rhythm Gamer's at Ryerson will be laying down the beat with a healthy helping of Rhythm Games.

The Cafe (Room 2281) and The Light Music Club (Room 2286 @ 7:30PM)
This will be headed by Max and yours truly. Check it out for some cookies, crepes, cheesecake and more! While you kick back and relax, LMC will be laying down some sick beats. It's not something you should miss.

RGAR @ Room 2286

[Feb 26] UTAMA Plays: Hatoful Boyfriend

Date: Thursday February 26 5-9 PM
Place: Sidney Smith Room 2111
Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/786298934752613/

Get ready for an event of birdemic proportions! We will be flocking together to play through this grouse-ly popular dating sim together as the ultimate tribute for the month of love.
-------------------------------------------------
As this is a group reading, we will take turns with reading certain parts, and group consensus will determine choices. As we may not get a chance to fully complete a game, if there is enough interest, it may be continued until another time.
-----------------------------------------------
In the off chance you get peckish, it is strongly encouraged to bring nourishing bird food: nuggets, wings, seeds, breadcrumbs of the sort, not to mention something to wet your beak with too.

So come and get lovey-dovey, you won't egret it~♥
