I am standing for re-election as president because I want to continue working for students. Many people berate students for being apathetic but why are they not involved? Most students are here to get a degree so that they can get a decent job when they leave university.

With the worsening economic situation and the increased academic workloads, students think twice about anything that involves their time. This adversely affects the social, cultural, political and sporting life of the campus. I think it is vital that the students association helps reverse this trend.

Last year and this year I have been active in organising campaigns to reduce workloads and to review the present level of bursary allowances. I have also been active in organising social activities which I see as a vital part of university life. In particular I was one of the controllers of this year's successful orientation. Last year I helped lead activity against the SIS legislation and the repressive legislation on contraception, sterilisation and abortion.

If re-elected I will be able to build on the administrative, social and political experience I gained last year to work more effectively for students.
