By carey linde feeling that my limited energies are being unnecessarily wasted, that the ams doesn't perceiv e itself as the tool for educational reform that i thin k it ought to be and could be, and regretting that th e majority of people who make up the ams have n o commitment coupled with creative awareness of and for educational and social reform, i resignin g as vice-president of your ams, effective now . it was a mere straw that broke the camel's back, in my case, not a heavy political defeat or som e other such juicy item . i have spent eight months having my ideas rejected and accepted, which didn' t really bother me . as your vice-president my role was to continually inject serious, creative and often novel points into the otherwise hum-drum atmosphere of student council . at times it was even fun . but on tuesday night your student council out performed its usual self . the items on the pink agenda had all been dealt with, the usual crap ha d been gotten out of the way, and it was only 9 : 1 the evening . immediately there was a motion to adjourn . such a motion, according to roberts rule of order, the ams bible, is undebatable, which i s a convenient way of getting the bureaucracy off th e hook of responsibility without anyone raising objections before the vote . i objected . i urged that council take advantage of the earliness of the hour to consider and discuss some of the more importan t items facing the student body. council has yet to seriously consider the teach-in and what is to b its follow up, etc . council has not discussed the ramifications of dr . hare's role in the senate, particularly as regards the senate's defeat of the idea to meet with the ams . dr . hare spoke up for the students, and was shot down by his own senate . the ams has not yet discussed what action to take i n regard to next year's budget from victoria, and th e allocations for the three universities . i thought tuesday night might have been an opportune time t o get into some of these areas . certainly the teach-in , the most significant event to ever occur on campus , was worthy of further talk . alas . . . their usual "down to the fraser arms" style, council voted t o adjourn. at that point the light flashed in my mind's eye , and i perceived the root cause of all the failures o f the ams : apathy on the part of councillors ; reluctance to get serious about controversial issues ; refusal to open one's mind to others' points of view ; an obsession with the glory of holding official office with absolutely no concept of duty to be explorativ e and creative in tackling the multitude of problem s we as students face ; an obsession with sub to the neglect of ams reforms and student issues in th e classroom ; and generally a failure to take the jo b seriously and be prepared to spend time at it . peopl e who run for president or ams rep of an undergrad society shouldn't be politically lazy people. under the auspices of the ams a few student s are working on some areas of concern . but certainly some things are of such an overriding concern t o us all that major policy decisions should come ou t of the ams itself . bold new steps need to be taken i n areas of financing higher education--such as a very partisan effort to kick bennett out of office . entire structures within our society have to be analyse d and challenged if an event like the teach-in is goin g to find some more permanent place in this university . but with its head in the sand, the ams merel y exists, assuming all along the line that life is fine , the world in great shape, students basically conten t and only wanting their sheepskin and a meal ticke t for life. i don't think the world is so rosy, and i don't think that a majority of students reall y only want a degree and a meal ticket. if it wer e true, it would be the ultimate condemnation of thi s so-called educational institution . rather, i feel the multiversity has alienated us all from our inne r selves, and that we are all aware that the wester n world is on the brink of major change. in this regard you can count your ams out, and because of that fact, more than any other, i a m counting myself out of the ams. it is with a certain reluctance that i quit . i regret having to give up my office space because i t is being put to some excellent use by law students who are offering a very real service to the students . we are in the process of taking some cases to cour t soon . i'm afraid that such a deserving function as fre e legal advice will get lost in the bureaucratic net tha t surrounds the whole sub committee mentality, an d we will not get another space to hold the service in . i'm also afraid that councillors and executive will soon forget that last summer the executive voted in a six to one vote to fire the ams business manager , and that the arbitary action of the treasurer reverse d that decision, without further consultation . the result being that the office side of the ams is still ru n with the brock mentality that was cast in the las t century. we, as students, are on the verge of losing some very decent personnel in sub because ams and sub staffing and office procedure is being ru n in very anti-human way . i'm afraid that council, and particularly the executive, will forget that they are neglecting to reform their own inner house . i'm sorry that council didn't take my advice earlier in the year and have a business consultant go over the office and recommend better, mor e efficient ways of handling and running our , 000, 000 a year. corporation . present there is much too much politics in th e administration of the ams and sub, and too muc h administrative hang-ups in the policy-making end of the business--i .e . the monday night student council meetings . hopefully my constitutional revisions will be ac- . cepted by the students at referendum, and some , but by no means all, of these hang-ups will be ironed out . it must in fairness be said that council acted ou t of some sense of duty and history when they passed a continued next page.

I have never been a "vip" gambler, but i recently discovered that it certainly is great to be a vip poker player. the peppermill, who has long had a reputation for treating their players, poker as well as pit players, well, tried something new. vip invitational golf tournaments, fancy festive parties, slot, blackjack and crap tournaments are the norm. the peppermill went the extra mile in their successful effort to spoil their vip players with an innovative idea. they offered their vip diamond and platinum ; players a , 000 added vip invitational poker challenge with , 000 going to first place and a 0 bounty on each poker celebrity. the celebrities included; linda johnson, tom mcevoy, layne flack, chris hinchcliffe, robert williamson, debbie burkhead, good ol boy tex morgan father of tex's tears and northwest poker hero ; and yours truly. it was called the "2005 celebrity poker shootout" and for 0 bucks a head, you can bet the celebrity poker players were big targets. this fun and poker educational weekend began on saturday morning april 30 with all the poker celebrities giving poker crash courses to the participants. each celebrity hosted a private table full of eager-to-learn poker wannabes. there were a lot of laughs and some well-received poker tips like how to hold your cards, how to know it is your turn, and what beats what. ; after an hour of instruction, answering lots of questions, and signing a passel of autographs, the tournament was under way. many of these players had never before sat at a poker table and they did great. i reckon we were pretty good teachers. as far as i could tell there were no major glitches but there were a lot of laughs and many ye-ha's, ya-hoos and yipees as first one and then another celebrity poker player was eliminated. after all 0 is worth shooting for and boy, were they gunning for us. any two will do is an understatement. the peppermill distributed the wealth by paying the top 45 players. the bounty winners were; david myers who shot down tom mcevoy, alfred dufnur who got chris hinchcliffe's 0, patrica olsen was delighted when she eliminated me, ed wright assassinated layne flack, linda johnson was shot down by dennis derge and tex morgan by randy lightfall. the top three winners of the tournament were; frank stangarone who won , 000, randy lighthall who won , 395 for second place and third went to greg clurman who won , 290. the only celebrity who managed to duck and dodge, weave and bob and avoid all the bullets was robert williamson iii. robert managed a fourth place finish. he won , 140 and his own bounty. in their effort to show their appreciation to their vip casino players, the peppermill has introduced 150 plus players to the world of poker. they are in the process of enlarging their poker room and i have a feeling there will be some fresh new poker faces after this fun weekend. each player went home with their own case of poker chips and cards. they can say they were taught by the best at the peppermill and many of them also can say that they went on to win a 0 bounty for eliminating one of the "best." most of us "seasoned" players can remember a time not too long ago, when poker was the unwanted stepchild of the casino scene. boy, how things have changed. we are not only wanted, they build "celebrity" weekends around us! not only the peppermill in reno but poker rooms from coast to coast are expanding and realizing the importance of their poker players. a personal thank you to joe ayarbe, peppermill director of gaming, ira cohen, poker room manager, billy v. tournament coordinator, "cash", tournament director, and the entire staff at the peppermill for not only giving their vip players a special weekend but also for allowing us to play such a fun role in the festivities. susie isaacs has written about poker and poker players since 1985. she is the first woman to win back-to-back titles at the world series of poker. her latest venture is a line of "designer gaming jewelry." visit susieisaacs.
