Nominated by students for the Faculty Smackdown in support of the United Way of the Lower Mainland, Taco "Extra Guacamole" Niet took on Ahmed "Street Brawler" Al-Rawi from the Communications department.  The topic of the debate, "Be it resolved that, when insulted, one should smile and wave," was challenging for both competitors.  After a heated debate, where Extra Guacamole smiled and waved repeatedly at his opponent while Street Brawler suggested students RUN if the insult came from a larger person, the students voted.  Extra Guacamole beat out Street Brawler by 51% to 49%, taking the honour of the coveted Gnome-it-All Award.
