It's 4am, I've just woken up from a post-drinking unconsciousness, and no-one's told me if I won or not yet and it's not on the STAR website. I'm assuming no news is bad news for me, but: Help!
Hallo duckgirl , You're right, we've all been pretty lax in addressing EOW issues. I did put some work into developing policy for it -- as my website attests -- but I have lacked in that area. I think there may be a root problem here about the lack of awareness of EOW issues that persists in the stu...
Hallo Dave , Yes, it is an oversight. It's an oversight that I could have attempted to cover up. I do know something about the issues, and I could have said what I do know: that we're an appallingly bad University when it comes to building access for the physically disabled, and we also tend to be p...
Hallo Dave , I'm going to be completely honest with you here: I know very little about the issues affecting physical and learning disabled students. It's just one of those issues I haven't yet engaged with, and so I can't offer real insight and original thinking there. What I can say is what comes f...
Hallo LK , "Engaging with students is a two-way process." Well, the short answer is -- of course! Engagement is a relationship between two entities, and you can't do it if one of them doesn't want to. Let's explore how both ends of this could fail in the process. First, judging by your question at h...
Hallo foo , I'm going to be cheeky and give you two answers from different angles: one more practical and one more philosophical. First, Simple Answer : I'm the only candidate proposing an entire new policy area for the Union: employment. We've built up a great system of accommodation advocacy over ...
Hallo Jono , I certainly accept your qualms. I'd like to quickly clear one thing up, though: it's certainly not my policy (or Association policy) to enforce ethical banking -- simply to encourage it. That involves drawing up a guide, raising awareness amongst societies, and supporting societies who ...
> Similarly moving SRC meetings into halls > of residence is a good way of making them > more easily available to students. Just a quick note: we have actually tried this a few times in the SRC over the past two years (it was either my idea or Tom D'Ardenne's idea to begin with, I think), and it tur...
Hi-aye there, OK, so my last couple of posts have been fairly solidly policy-based, so I'd like to go a bit more philosophical (and possibly a bit silly) on this one. I think Tom is partly wrong and partly right. When I think about what people find sexy, or what I find sexy, power comes pretty near ...
Hallo John, Thanks for going through the website and giving some of my proposals such detailed consideration. Campaign trail's being a bit exhausting at the moment, so forgive me if some of my answers below seem a bit clipped, though the questions and discussions are important. 1)Have you ever taken...
Hi-aye Jono, OK, before answering your real question, I'd like to be cheeky and say something about apathy first. I think there's always going to be some people who aren't interested -- so many people are over-involved at St A's, and a lot of people just don't have the time! -- but I do think there'...

http://electharrygiles.wordpress.com Hallo folks, Been a while since I was around here. Well, it's election time again, so it's time to make a visit. Partly, of course, 'cause all publicity is good publicity -- but mainly because I think the vicious "Someone is wrong on the internet!" arguments that...
I believe that Uni Hall does vegan food now. In general, however, I did some work with the people at ResBus on the subject, and we came to the conclusion that we couldn't make the economics of regular vegan provision work across all accommodation just yet.
Quoting exnihilo from 20:16, 18th Dec 2006 People do fit into neat little boxes, by and large we can all describe ourselves as closely as we would need to do by listing perhaps half a dozen characteristics. This is, empirically, nonsense, and would only be said by someone who in their own life has ...
Quoting angel_kohaku from 16:30, 16th Dec 2006 It's also grammatically incorrect. Whether you are a man or a woman is not your gender, that is your SEX. No matter if you have a "transgendering" operation, you will still be male or female. NOTHING will change the fact that males have XY chromosomes ...
[quote="DrAlex"]I can't help but feel that this is mountains out of molehills. The group complains that certain transgendered (who I can only imagine make up an infinitesimal percentage of facebook's user group), and 'poly-amorous' users are not correctly represented by the default profile settings....
