NEWS: Biased email angers McGreevy ticket
BY CATHERINE WYLIE AND BRIAN QUINN
Allegations of cheating have been made by McGreevy’s camp after a number of students received ‘All student’ emails from their school encouraging them to vote for Anderson, Critchlow, Downs, Kidd, McGibbon, and Tan. It is believed that schools forwarded this email without realising the intricacies of SU Election protocol. Student, Chris Andrews, who sent the email to the schools, told The Gown that he wouldn’t be able to comment until after the election. Returning officer, Dominic Doherty, says that this may be a matter for the election court.

THE HOOD: Giving election candidates a good rubdown
Still in hiding here folks. I’ve since moved on to a place where nobody will find me, under the desk in the now-vacant office of the VP Welfare. From Wednesday I shall move to the Gown office and take up comfortable residence there as the Gown Team are suspended by Union management. The Press Complaints Commision is on my back over the supposedly infamous ”rubdown” comments – caught under the Kearney desk might mean a 6 month stretch in Maghaberry. Regardless, it’s not easy casting a sceptical sideways glance in a sub-desk office exile (unless you want me to tell you the craic about Barry Duffy’s lower half), though The Gown team’s clever cup and string contraption gave me a pleasant muffled way into today’s hustings.

NEWS: Hustings in the Speakeasy
BY GOWN TEAM
The questioning of all election candidates took place today from 1.10pm in the Speakeasy bar. The event was chaired by deputy general manager Dominic Doherty. The event was very poorly attended, with many students in for lunch then leaving during the questions. When the final candidates were called on to the stage, there was merely a scattering of a few candidates’ friends and student journalists.
