Joe Clarke
Joe Clarke will succeed Ben Wardle as Goodricke Chair
Tuesday, 11th December 2007
Joe Clarke has won the race to become Goodricke College Chair, earning 222 out of a total of 323 votes.

First year Richard Coleman was left trailing in the dust with 51 ones votes, while 50 people cast their ballot for RON, to reopen the nominations.

The results were announced on Monday night at Nexus, which Goodricke had hired out for the occasion.

Clarke will succeed Ben Wardle, the Goodricke Chair for 2006-7.

The Yorker grabbed Clarke for a quick chat after the event.

Round 1: Joe Clarke plays Yorker agony aunt

Dear Joe,

My friend insists on wearing her pyjamas around campus. Is it shallow to demand she gets dressed in the morning?

- Embarassed, James

She's not hurting anyone, leave her to it.

I've just been elected president of a prestigious campus society, and am hence attracting more female attention than usual. Would it be wrong to cash in?

- Horny, Goodricke

JC: It depends if they like you because of your power, or have just noticed you because of your position... Be careful.

My flatmate has started buying recycled toilet paper. Is this hygienic? How do I tell him that the idea of using second-hand tissue makes me uncomfortable?

- Concerned, Langwith

JC: Recycled toilet paper is actually hygienic. If it really bothers you, just tell him that it's scratchy on your bum.

My boyfriend always has a game of Pro Evo before we go to bed. It's ruining our sex life. What should I do?

- Pissed-off, Vanbrugh

JC: Convince him that half-an-hour with you is more exciting than half-an-hour on Pro Evo. Either that, or get really good at it and beat him. He will soon lose interest in it if you do!

Round 2: Quick-fire

Y: What's the oddest group you belong to on Facebook?

Joe Clarke: The Disposable Razor Crew (don't ask but do look.)

Y: What's the best way to eat an egg?

JC: Lick out it's soft creamy centre and then eat the shell. We are talking about cream eggs, right?

Y: Toffs, Ziggy's or Gallery?

JC: This year? Toffs!

Y: What was in your advent calendar this morning?

JC: I don't have one... but please feel free to buy one for me!

Y: What was the last item you bought from Costcutter?

JC: Cigarettes and a sandwich.
