Double Take - New YUSU positions announced

Wednesday, 18th May 2011
Following the recent campus elections, many voices have been raised in concern that there are simply not enough positions in YUSU to represent students’ needs.

A concerned candidate Simon Dogood said, “it’s laughable that such a small percentage of the student body can be elected to make decisions which affect everyone on campus. I want to campaign for a Union which has seats for at least 51% of the student body, to increase effective representation.”

It seems the concerns also apply to JCRCs. When asked which new positions he would like to be created, Mr Dogood told The Yorker: “For a start, Goodricke needs more bar reps. A lot more bar reps. Enough, in fact, to build a bar. There should also be JCRC members handing out blankets and hot drinks for students caught in their PJs when fire drills happen.”

Mr Dogood’s proposals have already met with widespread approval, and will be put to vote next term. Proposed positions include:

Queue Jumps for the Queue-Jump Queues Rep

Jack Wills Merch Rep

Squeezed Middle-Class Students Rep

Fancy Dress and Themed Fun Ents Rep

Wikileaks Liaison Officer

Officers for the Diversion of Former Arts and Humanities Funds

Goose Behavioural Warden
