I'm Mark and I'm currently in my second year of economics. I'm an international athlete, well, if you count
hockey as a sport and Wales as a country. I can usually be found either propping up the bar in Chancellors
or scaring freshers on the dance floor with dance moves that would be more appropriate in a Trigger Happy
sketch. My main reason for running is so that I can reduce drinks prices in the union sufficiently enough to
become a full blown alcoholic.
If you want cheaper drinks prices, then vote for me, that is my main objective, and I think it's what most stu-
dents want. We have one of the most expensive union bars in the country, and I will do everything I can to
make that change. The Student's Union should be that, a union that takes into account what its members
want, nobody else should have a say. I also intend to raise greater funds for the union through sponsorship
schemes. This will be used for better entertainment events, better clubs and of course better alcohol. Of
course with the increased alcohol consumption we may need the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, and I intend
to bring them to the union, every Tuesday, at 8pm.
Development
The Union is run too much for the short -term, with so many various presidents and vice presidents over the
years, there has never been enough continuation of previous VP's work. I think that the Union needs a long
term business plan, that is simple to implement, in order to make sure that Chancellors never gets in as

Caught on Camera sure if he exists or not) the vice-chancellor peruse his own univer-
sity’s student publication and sit back in his probably very comfy
chair, more probably than not at the top of senate house looking
out at a very good view from the window, with a sense of satisfac-
tion relating to the quality of the paper you now hold in your
hands? Do our lecturers, the very people who instil knowledge
and wisdom in the little cavities between our ears known as
‘brains’, wonder just what all the fuss is about with regard to that
fabulous paper they keep hearing about and hence read it for
hours instead of marking exam papers and such-like? I’m not
sure about you, but I have a sneaking suspicion the answer may
well be a resounding ‘no’.
Obviously some people read it, but I reckon it can’t be that many.
Really, though, it doesn’t bother me - it means I can write what I
like (within reason) and know that I’ll never have a large group of
people running after me with vicious looking implements hoping
to use them to some sort of effect on various parts of my body. I
figure the trick is, though, that if I am going to offend some group
of people (which is never the intention - more a bi-product of my
thought processes) then I should aim the antagonisms at soci-
eties who wouldn’t do anything about it. For example, if there
was a Pacifists Society, I could say what I liked about them
because every member would be a pacifist and therefore rebuke
violence and not beat me up. Same as if there was a Slow-
Runner’s Club - again, I’d have the freedom to say what I liked
because I know they’d never be able to catch me. Or maybe the
little crèche thing that runs out of the union: I could say anything
about the kids in there because I’m fairly confident that if it came
to having a fight with a six-year old, I’d probably win. In the end -
I have freedom close to that of Nelson Mandella, which I think is
great (apart from when the lovely editor chappy cuts out bits that
he deems as too offensive - but then the man knows what he’s on
about: he plays frisbee).
