UCC Student Union Presidential Hustings

The race has begun! The candidates have declared.  Signatures are being collected. Manifestos will be released on Monday. And to kick start the week leading up to voting on March 8th and 9th the Philosoph are hosting Presidential Hustings.

Keith Moynihan O'Brien is running again. He thinks he deserves another term in office. But what is he promising? What has he failed to do in this term that we should allow him another term to succeed at?

Ben Honan has returned from the Belfast ghettos and feels that this gives him the experience to lead the Student Union. He empathises with us because he too is a broke frustrated student. So why does that exactly make him a better candidate than Christian boy Keith or Tory Greg Higgins?

Higgins, current SU Education Officer will run if 1000 join his facebook page http://ko-kr.facebook.com/group.php?gid=243786302276&ref=mf. But does being good at cricket, being an "avid" arts student and having good tatse in cigars qualify him to lead our Union?

Make up you own mind on Monday when we take their manifestos apart and discover the depth behind the facebook pages. Everyone is welcome to Kane G19 at 19.30 on Monday, February 28th!!!
