You have no doubt seen my name and ravishing photo by now, standing for the position of SRC coordinator. Those of you who are even slightly involved in student politics are no doubt asking, when does this guy speak at SRC? What is his stand? Why does he want to get involved and who is this guy anyway?

Well, I very seldom speak at SRC's unless I'm really annoyed. My stand is not a politically aligned one; it is just this - "give students a fair go. Support Studass policy". I want to get involved because I believe that with a dedicated team of people as the exec, VUWSA has a better chance of implementing its policy and making itself heard.

I want to be thought of on voting day as someone who will do his job, not get side-tracked on some half-assed pseudo-political ego-trip. I am a humble 2nd year student who was disgusted with the results of last year's elections—namely this year's elections. These elections should not happen if people who were willing to do a good job had stood last year. I am willing to have a damn good try at making students heard where it counts—at meetings such as the library committee. Support someone who cares for You.
