Yes to both. Once they have a valid student card, they can vote.

So, any rumours on who's running for what yet? I saw the first of the posters today. Some lad going for VP Comm and Dev.

He helped me write a mini sex novel paragraph the other day, and it was quality stuff.
He has my vote.

That was Equality, I believe

And only after three recounts. He was ahead by 4 votes on the first count.

Vince135792003 · 16-02-2006 11:39pm

What has the current president done so far ?

In fairness, everyone will say they'll *fix* the paper and the website.

Better to ask... HOW???

Hi lads, Dave here. Just to confirm that I am running for VP/C&D.

I'll start a blatant self-promotion thread with my manifesto in it in a bit so as not to take over this one. If you've any suggestions/criticisms/questions pm us here if you want or give us a shout on the e-mail (davidmoloney1@gmail.com)

Cheers!

Good point. Everyone says they're gonna fix it, and to be fair I think this year's VP C&D has improved it a lot.
So ya, we want how you're going to fix it not just empty promises!

Care to tell us why?

pisslips · 21-02-2006 11:42pm

Why do they put their posters up in lecture theatres?
Also why do they put them up,I mean it's not gonna help me make a logical decision to vote for them just because I see their name!
To test this sneaky subliminal tactic, I might put up a few VOTE PISSLIPS posters.
My friend and I burst into fits of laughter today in a lecture when we saw VOTE JOE on the wall. It's somewhere between a D'umbelieveables sketch and a traffic sign.YIELD. VOTE TRAFFIC MERGING FROM THE LEFT!

Gone West · 22-02-2006 12:52am

Did anybody see the massive "vote joe" posters up on the outside wall of the engineering building.... Shiney new building with cheap mass photocopied giant letters sellotaped to the redbrick. Looks silly.

Not to mention on top of other noticeboards all over campus. Even some club boards had important stuff obscured by random "joe" pages. No explanation, just vote for him. No manifesto, it seems. Just in your face VOTE ME! type crap. It's rather ignorant, really. I doubt this type of management would be very benificial for the SU.

I would have voted for him based on the Chuck Norris quotes, were it not for the in yer face attitude.

dory · 22-02-2006 12:56am

Are they not the same person?

Apologises if youre being sarcastic there.
