note: REDS (AS USUAL) RULE AMS MEETING The Reds took over the ostensibly democratic AMS general meeting Thursday noon. The red horde stormed into an otherwise mildly chaotic meeting in their famed car, with a two-motorcycle-escort. Mowing down CBC cameras and cameramen with gay abandon, the engineers marched in 200- strong chanting their beer song. Carried in a cage were their favorite councillors: outgoing president Byron Hender, incoming president Peter Braund, and incoming vice- president Charlie Boylan. All were clad in diapers. • • • On being released from the cage, the councillors took their places on the platform.

As arts president-elect Don Wise read his motion to keep the arts elections out of student court, the engineers massed their forces. Wise orated on, oblivious as the red mob wheeled their portable tank up behind him. As the bodies started flying and the spray hit the first row of seats, spectators headed for the exits.
