WHEN IT COMES TO Union Colours, it’s the taking part that counts (see CG Social Colours issue 2006). Honorary Life Memberships, supposedly only awarded for astounding contributions to the Union, are doled out to the Sabb team each year, just for doing their job - the one they already get paid £24k a year to do.
Back-slapper
When the Union Colours Committee met on 12 March, it was the usual smug round of back-slapping and self-congratulation, the Sabb team inevitably nominating themselves for HLMs. Why each of them thought they deserved the award
was unclear as they hardly had to state their case. With Sabbs and more lowly Union hacks dominating the Union Colours Committee, HLMs are normally awarded without any protests.
Taking the pizza
In the spirit of things, Finance and Democracy Officer Nate Macdonald spent ages pointlessly reading out the Union’s Standing Orders so the Sabbs could claim a free lunch on Union expenses. Communications and Services Officer Charlie Clinton was nominated to order in pizzas but, after taking too long choosing the toppings, he was eventually no-confidenced by the chair. What japes!
