The Students' Association did actually release a press statement about this. It was picked up by the Citizen, but was ignored by the national papers. The gist of it was that we were delighted the University had done so well and it was an outstanding achievement - but there was still lots to do and w...
Okay! So I promised to give you an update to tell you about the changes made to the strategic plan with regard to this thread. Well, firstly, we intend to conduct a review of our policy on bringing food into the building - to look particularly at whether or not we would be legally responsible for pe...

Thalia – I think that this is a good idea – and I will look into the possibility of writing something to do with the garden in the plan. As it stands, there are quite a lot of things which could be happening to the garden anyway – the construction of a car park, access road and Venue 3 being three o...
Dear Sinner People! Yes – it’s time for your daily dose of answers from me. Oh, how you await this moment with anticipation… Firstly – Sweet – I didn’t reply to your original posting by complete mistake, and see you have no deleted it. You made a lot of very valid points. The one which I particularl...
Papercutheart – Kopparberg, yes, it’s rather nice isn’t it. There are lots of flavours too – I’d really like to try the Blueberry and Pear one. I think we serve it in Offsales, but I will put the idea forward to Sandy and Dave, and, if we’re lucky, we should be serving it behind the main bar within ...
Hello again! So – I’ll answer your questions one by one. Bizarre Atheist – Nobody has ever said I’m their hero. Ever. Munchingfoo – The solar panels idea was put forward by the Environmental and Ethics Committee, and is something the University is strongly supportive of because they have recently be...
Dear people of t’ Sinner, Have you ever thought the Union was a bit rubbish? Ever wondered why the reception is half way down a corridor on the first floor? Thought that a building built in 1973 for 3000 students just isn’t good enough for over 7000 thirty years later? Ever wanted a better bar, thea...
Sabs are geeks, and, in general, not very good at sport (except the AU Sab who is a fine figure of a man). Most of them are loopy. They drink lots of coffee, and try to do good stuff for you every day... like this... http://www.yourunion.net/news/index.php?page=article&news_id=2762 Happy Thanksgiving!
Wow... I have never started a whole thread before. I feel almost important..! One of the things which I have to do as a part of my job is to improve community relations - and one of the ways in which I do this is to write articles for the Citizen telling them about all of the GOOD things which St An...
I didn't say they were 'incompetent' - in fact I am sure that they were not (probably for exactly the reason which you mention - they were busy doing other things which they deemed more important... which I also wrote in the article). I said they were not competent enough to make a strategic plan - ...
It's an interesting one - how best to communication to the student body. Certainly we are not going to appeal to everyone, no matter how hard we try, but I reckon there must be LOTS of people who would be interested if they knew what we did and that we can make a difference. Because of this, I have ...
I am not entirely sure what a 'bitching article is' because I am not very cool and do not get out very much... and because none of my tutors ever said I had written a 'bitching essay'. As I said in my article, I reckon that the biggest reason people don't give a damn about student politicians is bec...
I have only just realised that there is a paragraph missing right at the start of my article - which is a little strange. I have asked for it to be updated as soon as possible, but for those who simply cannot wait, it reads as follows: ___ Now - the most important decision which had to be made by th...

Quoting akasha from 14:19, 18th Mar 2006 Quoting tordenskjold from 11:52, 18th Mar 2006 As far as I'm concerned people should be allowed to come up with as much publicity as they want. it seems he will be re-instated (something they should have told him BEFORE voting started), 1. The point of limit...
