SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 13.

Elections

Elections.

"Things is on the move, dearie!" said the charlady in "peccadillo" (who bring that up?), and they certainly moved in this year's election campaign for the Executive. Apart from the vice-presidents and secretary, all positions were decided by the ballot-box. Bob Bradshaw and Bonk Scotney provided the electorate with something to argue about and the odds were difficult to choose in the Presidential campaign. Thirteen modest violets contested the two vacancies for committeemen while six Amazons fought for three positions as committee women.

An electioneering meeting fell through owing to bad and hurried organisation. Full publicity to the campaign and all candidates was given by "Smad," and next year it should benefit from this experiment. Of certain transactions in the Men's Common Room we shall say nothing except that they did much to stimulate interest in the campaign. "Smad" induced all candidates to state their platforms, and we take this opportunity of giving the successful candidates notice that it intends to see that those platforms are not shelved and forgotten.
