Lester Policies
• Greater visibility of the benefits of welfare for Derwent students, providing ‘Welfare Goodie Bags’ after every event in Derwent, to include free contraception, testing kits and information booklets.
• Establish an anonymous email system on the Derwent website for students to contact a trained member of Welfare, with a reply within 24 hours.
• Pharmacy on campus
• Refurbishment of Derwent Bar to include ‘comfy seating, video-projectors and a fireplace.’
Mantzarlis Policies
• Bar refurbishment to the top part of the bar, allowing the lower level to still be used for large college events.
• Maintain high quality Derwent events (such as Club D)
• Make the College Chair a presence through working closely with the Vice-Chair and Ents team.
Last words...
Lester: “I think the trap that numerous candidates fall into this making promises they simply cannot keep! From the outset, I’ve planned to chose policy that I feel I can actually make work and will wholeheartedly benefit Derwent. I want to change the perception of the College Chair. I believe that a College Chair works for you, and I will fight for any Derwentian, on any issue, at any time.”
Mantzarlis: “As chair I would give the average Derwent student all they can be given. The JCRC isn’t just there for the glamorous things, like organising Club D and ordering DCUK merchandise. It is there, more importantly, for the welfare of the average Derwenter. So if elected, I would make sure to stand up for each and every Derwenter when the need arises.”
Good luck lads! Hope it all goes well!
