she will implement this. She also fails to mention the
financial restrictions within the section.

ACTION EO
CANDIDATE
Rory Pears
Another interesting point is the mention of targeting
specific demographics with the right projects for them.
Although this is a good idea, the majority of students
who participate in Action already choose projects that
appeal to them, how would he make a difference to the
wider student population? Rorys final point about hall
committees also seems a bit irrelevant to the overall
manifesto as hall Action reps are already responsible for
effectively engaging the majority of freshers into projects
throughout the year.
Rory 4 Action
Overall, Rorys manifesto shows he has researched into
the section and seems dedicated to improving Action
making him a more than suitable for the position.

MEDIA EO
CANDIDATE
Gafyn Donald
justify its inclusion as 1/6th of a manifesto. Match Report
has been a huge success this year and the prospect
of creating more shows with a student orientation is a
promising manifesto point from Gayfn, I look forward to
hearing about specific show ideas at a later date.

weekly, monthly or termly entries? I would like to hear
about this further as it has potential, but also has
potential to be a waste of time. The implementation of
periodic workshops is a bright idea, though similarly
to my criticism of Gafyns first manifesto point, the
regularity of these events will have to be specified in
both temporal and logistical terms.

SOCIETIES EO
CANDIDATE
Sam Hill
The personal development seems the most vague of
the candidates points. They say there has been interest
in some areas but fail to mention where his interest has
come from, or how it was expressed, perhaps something
that can be explained later in the campaign.

However, how the week is marketed and how students
will be encouraged to get involved is not mentioned.

SPORT EO
CANDIDATE
Ash Prescott
In the Inclusivity section of Ashs manifesto she
proposes an increase in the visibility of disability sport,
an improvement in the quality of inclusivity amongst
clubs, and an increase in the availability of sport for
postgraduate students outside of term time. These
suggestions seem very reasonable as disability and
postgraduate sport take a definite back seat in terms
of prominence within the University. The main barrier
to these would, again, be financial as she does not
suggest how these could be funded, but it is hard to be
comprehensive on such a tight word limit.

WHY SHOULD WE GIVE
RON A CHANCE?
When Elections period swings around every year you can be sure of a few things:
?
is your man. In the event RON was to be elected, there would
be a by-election (or similar) in which another candidate, or few
candidates, would come out of the woodwork and give Elections
a go, without the all-encompassing pressure of what to all intents
and purposes is the real deal: terrifying manifesto critiques,
exhausting Campaign Week, and the dreaded Bubble Debate.
A vote for RON may just be a vote for these less-confident types,
so if you really cant choose, consider RON. He might just be what
YOUR union is waiting for!
