Bruised Ego Count ’05 - Winners and Losers
Rumour has it that Kelvin Sheikh, candidate for Finance and Administra- tion Officer, polled 500 more votes than victor Lucy “spreadsheet with a pulse” Gould. But he campaigned in a gorilla suit, didn’t declare it...and got disqual- ified. Just like disqualified Shama Rah- man last year got more votes than Ste- ven Healer...funny that.
Gould, however, might encoun- ter trouble with general secretary-elect Luca Manfredi, reputed to dislike her. Manfredi gets on well with his oppo- nent for Gen. Sec., Waseem Alim...so well that they were recently overheard in the refectory planning to ‘stack’ var- ious committees and Union Council in their favour next year, to push their pol- icies through without the sabbatical of- ficers’ approval.
Members of Rare FM are bitter over their man Frankie Roberto losing out to Al ‘I don’t listen to Rare FM’ Gardner for the Media and Communi- cations post. Given their brooding hos- tility, can we expect friction between the new officer and the cash-strapped radio station?
