A Bad Bunch?

Thus Lindy's view is that it is largely due to the poor quality of many student politicians and the misimpressions under which many people enter the executive lead to so many failing to - complete their year's term. The calibre it is true, rarely passes that of a slug gun so Lindy's analysis can on the whole be considered a correct one

Perhaps, as seems likely, Lindy could not have stopped the passing of these three but it would be fair to suggest that her function as leader of the executive could be improved Given the state of student awareness the people and the conditions Lindy has to work with she has contributed a lot to the Association this year. My earlier comment deals with but one facet of her job.

The part which factionalism, personality clashes and the like has to play in this is hard to determine but Gerald's resignation and the by-election could be looked on favourably by some members of the executive. The election of Sue Hanna to the vacated VWP's position gave a little more force to the Cassidy-Swann axis. The election of a consistent right-winger to Cultural Affairs would negate this (providing Sue holds her scat in the election) and it would return to the ancient regime i.e.' which way will the appendages sway' state. The election of a left-wing would be a 'devastating blow' to the Thrush-Underwood alliance and would hope rully bode well for a livelier, more active campus.
