Nick Bullock is a third year science student majoring in maths. He has been an active member of the House Committee for the last two years, and is responsible for the Newsheet. He is also a member of the Education sub-committee and is active in Association affairs. He is chairman of the Education Sub-Committee, Tramping club and recently organised Cappicade selling which earned the club about £50.

He is also interested in Debating, Table Tennis, Philosophical, Maths and Physics, and Film societies.

Far too many students are ignorant of uninterested in Students' Association affairs. As an executive member I will try to encourage participation in Studass, by more students.

Acting on the principle that responsible, able people will come forward if there is a demand for them I recommend that Exec, hand more of its work over to subcommittees. Students should have as much say as possible in running the Sub. To encourage this I intend to delegate suitable work to committee members. However, like each member of Exec., I will be responsible for my portfolio.

Besides the day to day running of the Sub the House Committee is responsible for finding out what additional facilities students want. The proposed second floor is now the most important matter facing the House Committee. At present, students are guaranteed an opportunity to criticise the plans. I think that Salient should publish them also. I do not approve of the present plans, as the higher-priced and private dining rooms are not justified, the area available for dances will be smaller than the present area, and Studass, will control only half the building. I will make students aware of their rights to comment on the plans.

Too many students, through ignorance or apathy, do not use this building to the full. If elected, I will try to get students to make greater use of this building and to make them realise what a tremendous asset it is. The Sub should be the centre of student life from 8am to 10.30pm, and I intend to make it so.
