In the 19th season premiere of Game of Chairs Sunday, Associated Students of Madison Chair Andrew Bulovsky was overthrown in a brutal battle of student government leadership.
ASM Finance Committee Chair Andrew Kidd invaded the third floor of the Student Activity Center waving a large gold banner reading “We Do Not Spend.”
Kidd said he has been disappointed by ASM’s “frivolous” spending and promised a more fiscally responsible realm.
Bulovksy defended his record as chair, citing the creation of multiple extravagant banquets and vicious tournaments including “Varsity Day” and “Revelry.”
“Oh well, Summer is coming and my term will soon be over,” Bulovksy said.
However, it was Student Services Finance Committee Chair Ellie Bruecker who was able to take the ASM chairship with the backing of multiple student organizations, mainly the Medieval Warriorcraft League.
“When you play the game of chairs you win or you die,” Bruecker said. “There is no middle ground.”
Bruecker’s rule is currently being challenged in the Student Judiciary under allegations of a viewpoint neutrality violation. If found guilty, she must swear an oath to the Night’s Watch.
All of Bruecker’s decisions must also be approved by UW-Madison Khal David Ward, father of dragons. Ward is currently serving his final term as Khal and will soon be replaced by Master of Coin Rebecca Blank.
However, Ward warned, “No one will take my dragons.”
