A Democratic Election Required

A Democratic Election Required

Dear Sir,

I am pleased to note that both my brother and my sister feature in your letters pages from last issue, this is of course most gratifying to me as Ian has been remarkably reticent about letter writing in recent months and I am pleased to see him reviving. VUNCC an institution which he participated in avidly while at Varsity. As for my sister Jillian, I only wish that my dear sister would not exaggerate our few domestic tiffs and retire to a suitable distance to let us get on with the business of running the world.

I must mention my disappointment with Mr O'Donoghue however with regards to his latest letter as it fills me with sorrow at his incipient demise. How many times must I tell you? One doesn't ask a woman to become one's lifetime slave one orders them to. I trust that I will have no need to repeat this advice Paul.

Although Margaret is apparently a woman (I suspect differently) I cannot help but agree with her comments with regard to the farcical SRC (the "R" stands for representative you know Exec) of August I and oh so respectfully suggest that a full election might be democratic at this point considering the unrest prevalent in "our" executive.

Yours sincerely,

Daniel Stenwick.
