Quoting Harry Giles from 10:39, 11th Mar 2006
If elected, what commitment to environmental and ethical issues can the students expect from you? What do you consider the role of President in this regard to be, and how do you intend to best fulfil that role?

How do you see your tenure as senior student in John Burnet Hall as preparing you for a position in the Union?
Do you have any experience of Union politics?
How do you answer criticisms levelled at you as discriminating against old memebers of hall and alienating them? Does this reflect a policy of lumping all 'troublemakers' together and blaming them all in one group? Would you do this as President?
How would you explain the actions of the JBH committee in still owing 30 pounds to an old member of Hall? The committee has been swift in filing claims against old members' and their 'damages' but surprisingly tardy in clearing this. As senior student do you take responsibilty for this?

Could you please quote the part of the Association laws that bans the President from voting on environment and ethics issues? The last I noticed it didn't allocate direct responsibility for the area to the President - it was a DoR issue - but that doesn't mean that the AP can't get involved. In fact, with the strategic and external remits I would have thought the involvement and activity of the President on the area would be vital.

This question goes out to all the AP candiates - no copying from each other, kids.
Following on from the other thread, it's a great shame how under-advertised this election has been thus far and the high number of uncontested seats can only be deleterious to the quality of candiates being elected. Do you believe that the student population is, by and large, quite apathetic towards union politics and how would you go about solving this problem?

It has been brought to my attention that certain people refer to me as a legend. Should you meet one of these people, maintain a safe distance and telephone the police. Under no circumstances attempt to deal with them by yourself.

Taking my lead from some of the other presidential candidates' threads here. Knowing that you want to improve communication between the Association and students, and the "outside" world, would you use STAR FM as a tool in this, and what steps would you take to support it?
Quoting Dardar from 23:42, 14th Mar 2006
Thank you for your question.
I believe that using STAR Radio would be an excellent way of promoting the Student Association to the 'outside world', and using it as tool to promote relations between the two could only be beneficial. However, and this is far from the definitive answer on the topic, I have been informed by others that there are considerable problems with making STAR FM a yearlong project.
Firstly, it would cost a considerable amount of money - I think the figure quoted was £15,000 although please do not hold me to that. It is an estimate taken from memory. However, I believe that it is of primary importance to consult the student body whether it would prefer to see that kind of money spent on STAR radio, or on some other project.
