Quoting Harry Giles from 10:44, 11th Mar 2006
It's obvious from the current incumbent's page (http://www.yourunion.net/main/contact/w ... abbs/dorep) that he is very committed to particular issues concerning students, as well as to the role of DoR in general. What do you consider "your issues" to be?
How do you intend to best use the role of DoR to address student concerns?

My usual question for all potential sabbs: wnat are your plans for next year if you don't win?

Quoting Al from 17:23, 14th Mar 2006
Do you not think it slightly risky for you to be seen to be favouring one candidate for the Association Presidency over the other candidates?
Quoting Tweedle-Dum from 12:10, 11th Mar 2006
Do you think a large number of uncontested positions, especially sabbaticals weakens the Union's mandate for representing the majority of students, and if so, when elected, how would you seek to redress this ballance.

Tetragrammaton is a four letter word.

I'm not sure how any of us can redress this balance other than doing our jobs correctly and ensuring that officers and members this year will be well trained to do their jobs, are more involved in the process and will thus consider entering the race next year.
Quoting Al from 09:00, 15th Mar 2006
I said "seen to be favouring" not that you were. However, Mr Byrne has deleted the post in which he suggested you, Lee Kane and Graeme Hamilton were supporting him.
I don't see what the fact that I am not resident in St Andrews has to do with anything. I am still a member of the Students' Association and perfectly entitled to ask questions of those who seek to lead it.
Quoting Laura from 08:57, 15th Mar 2006
I do admit there has been a big problem- the Association hasn't communicated adequately all year, and this is just another instance of the way it seems distanced from students. The people standing are majoritively people who have been around all year to ask what is going on with elections, and so have been somewhat more informed than the student body have. That's not to say that the people aren't able to be very good at the jobs- and I would remind people that RON is always a serious option.
Quoting Rose Chambord from 19:11, 15th Mar 2006
It would seem to me that the people who are running for election are primarily people who have been involved in the union, many or whom have served in elected positions before. Why should anyone believe that the practices of union insiders are going to change simply because you are going to be elected?
Every year people complain the the union doesn't do enough to advertise the src and ssc and how to get involved and elections, and every year the same small group of people know about the election, seek election and continue the cycle of keeping the rest of the student body in the dark.
Why should we believe that you are going to do the job of DOR any differently they the current holder of that position, especially as you have quite a close relationship with him?
