' ',' "~- H II ••HHI—I -i—ii.— . . I .„,.„,, «••••• by Lucho van Isschot For some UBC students, the most important question concern ing this week's AMS referendum was not on the ballot. The format of the ballot it self—not the Pit expansion, not the Ombudsoffice, not the Pro grams fee—has become the focus of debate. Number 2, Article 4 ofthe Constitution, Bylaws and the Code of Procedure of the AMS, states: "The wordings of gen eral AMS referenda shall be set by Council or Students Courts, and must be designed to be clearly answerable by a •yes' or 'no'."
The referendum ballot was set up in such a way that students had to respond either "Yes" or "No" to two questions which ad dressed a total of eight distinct issues. "I was furious about the fact that they put the questions into two blocks," said fourth year stu dent Andrea Oberdieck. Oberdieck voted negatively for both questions, although she AMS president Jason Brett asks for your vote.
