Apparently today is the day of voting for candidates for the ASUN. So there I was, bored at work, having just heard some girl talk about the ASUN presidential debates and I thought, Hmm, Maybe I should watch those…Call me a gluttony for punishment. I knew nothing important was going to be said by either [...]

What a Concept…
By: Barry Belmont
The ASUN recently announced (though it was long rumored) that the final funding period for clubs would not be observed as the organization had run out of club funding. And in typical WTF GOVERNMENT? style logic, the commissioners in charge seem to glean over the point entirely, managing to not only not take away the [...]

Interview by Allie Amato. Interviewee: John Russell What is it that your organization does? - The Abolish ASUN movement is the brainchild of the UNR Students for Liberty.

This time he’s at it again with this delightful exchange with some anonymous poster: One would think that after all this time, the poor fellow would figure out that it is [...]

Well it turns out that while being interviewed by PJTV, Blayne Bennett, the Communications Manager for the Students for Liberty (the Big Pappa institution which we base ourself around), discussed our Abolish ASUN event last year. Perhaps [...]

Anecdotes from the Abolishment
By: Barry Belmont
So today’s Abolish ASUN carnival was fairly successful. We demonstrated what government spending looks like, saw spontaneous order form from free individuals, and generally demolished Statist argument (much to admiration of onlookers, while those arguing in favor of the institution clearly backpeddled from position to position). But I wanted to share some various anecdotes of [...]
