“YOU CAN DO A lot of things as London Student Editor,” avid London Student hack Chaminda Jayanetti told readers of his manifesto for editor, during the ULU elections in March.

“You can plug your political line (yes, there’s more!). You can bang on about student unions. You can even write all the articles yourself. But that doesn’t mean you should.”

This might come as a surprise to the latest LS’s readers. Of all the columns in the news section he edits, he has written 268 centimetres, compared to 556 cm by, er, everyone else.

But perhaps Cham is just making up for lost time. While on work experience at the Camden New Journal this year, he doesn’t appear to have got anything published.
