Who's running for class rep?

The_Minister

Who put their name forward for class rep? There were about six of us last year.
I'm running for 2nd Economics.

Stepherunie

You were told already! Damn, I wanted to run unopposed.:D

EDIT: oh yea, radiology, tiny class, you would know wouldn't you?:o

Stepherunie

I wasn't told, but there's only 38 people in my constituency and no one had any interest in running bar me.

I ran in my music class. It was me, my mate Eoghan and this dude Will (nice bloke). The voting went in the order Will, Eoghan, Me, so half the class voted for Will, half voted for Eoghan and I was left there. A broken man.

I'm never getting involved in politics.

Don't be disheartened!
If you do have an interest in the Union there are plenty of other ways to get involved... eh I'm not sure how exactly I just know its true -I'm thinkin dajaffa and SingingStranger here;)


ok that may have been one of the most unhelpful posts ever

Hard luck, man
I didn't run for anything, but if the same thing happens as last year (ie, nobody runs for the position of BA Comp Sci rep) I might just put my hand up in class and go for it

Ah it's fine, they made me vice-vice president. And now I have friends in high places.

HACKS

They both got involved through friends, like many others who do

I'd love to go for class rep but I instead have the beautiful job to promote the class rep things

mloc

one of my friends is running as political pawn of mine.
it shall be good.

I'm running for 2nd Year Sociology, thats in the School of Sociology and Psychology and I have to canvass both of these classes.

Best of luck to all candidates, getting involved in the union is one of the best decisons you'll ever make in college, you'll meet loads of cool people and will learn a lot about the college and the education system, and campaigning for student rights, which is a very rewarding experience

The_Minister

Does anyone who ran last year know how to find out how many people are running in a class?

dajaffa

Details should be up on www.ucdsu.net at some stage this week.

I'm running this year, prob unopposed. I got all invovled last year despite my lack of position. Even if you're not a rep you should mosey along to council to see what it's like. A councillor can pass speaking rights onto you if you wnt to say something + if nothing else it can be highly entertaining at times!

The_Minister

pretty*monster

It was my entire plan but it didnt work

I have no intention of badgering people for votes, especially since all the other contestants are incumbants, Im gonna get my name off that list and not bother with an election

Don't!! Just lecture address and remind them that you're auditor of Dutch Soc. You'll get elected in a landslide.

Very good point and it would be worth it just to see the other contestants blabber on about "student issuse" and get hammered:D

A delightful pun

Hmmmm nobody ran for Irish. And i've no idea who that Art History person is. So what happens if nobody runs? It just gets nobody or does someone babysit it?

Nobody ran for 2nd year Irish either. Seriously lacking in Hacks in that constituency:p

dajaffa

Well basically it's left unfilled unless someone submits a form for a by election which I suspect may happen in this case.

Anway the programme officers are there if there are issues that need to be raised, though they're not acting as class reps in the fullest sense

I'm running too..

there's 2 of us going for the Economics and Finance seat..

Ah I remember now I met them by the way Emmett in the KBC trip to the Dail in which we saw Tom Kitt and the place.

They told me they were going for rep, I gave them advice and stuff.
