President

This is the last gesture of a malcontent. I have decided that my contempt for present student policies can better be demonstrated by attempting to get onto the Executive and fighting for change, than by disregarding it altogether. 1 almost withdrew, not because of coercion, but because it now seems futile to expect vitality or action from students. However, while a tired revolutionary who won't prostitute himself by deceptive campaigning I am still prepared to gamble that the students might do the same.

Ideally the administrative duties should be dealt with by a body, monarchial in type so that necessary pomp and arrogance can be retained, but mechanistic in effect. Issues and policies could be decided by some form of open council. This University desperately needs a cataclysmic experience if it is not to founder in its own inactivity and torpor. Perhaps a complete collapse is needed if something other than a lifeless Executive is to ensue. A paragraph merely spotlights empty promises. 1 don't intend making guarantees of pathetic consequence and I don't ask for undying faith from you. If you care. or don't care, to vote I will force for changes. If I get onto Executive in any capacity (this is why I am also standing for another position—it is not proof of insincerity) I hope to shake it with internal stretching.
