Dom Stone >Final Year Politics Student >Departmental Staff-Student Committee Co-ordinator >Has Narcolepsy but won’t sleep on the job! EMPOWERING STUDENTS Student politics is too exclusive and this years AGM proved that. The student body made it clear that night that it was not happy with the proposal to change the minimum membership of societies. But why should the Union Executive limit this opportunity to one event a year? I propose to increase the number of General Meetings so that you, the student body can SOLUS clubnights rejuvinated to their former glory. But more could still be done. Do you have ideas best nights of your lives here in the Union.

ED CAREY PRESIDENT GET READY FOR EDDY: VOTE # 1
WHY I’M RE-RUNNING I believe the team and I have performed extremely well this year. I want to use my experience to build an even stronger team for next year and to give the Union some much needed continuity. MY POLICIES - Academic and University Affairs: Establish a Course Rep. System. Training and support for each Rep. throughout the year. - Welfare, Campaigns and Communications: Two things. Develop and strengthen our excellent democratic systems (Student Council, AGM, Associations and elections). Set a clear program for events and campaigns for each month – this will improve communication. - Healthcare Students: Take the Union to the Heath Park! Instead of insisting that Heath students always visit the Union, we should simply aim to facilitate whatever it is they need – where they need it! - Societies, Events and Activities: Address society funding by making it more transparent and ensure that societies are judged on the same merit as sports clubs. recruiting more students is the key to all commercial success e.g. Cash-back system and record Summer Ball sales. The second is to make the Union more studentfocused; e.g. by making it easier and affordable for clubs and societies to run events and socials within the building. - Athletic Union: Create a Sport Strategy with the University that students deserve and then deliver it! This is the key to ending all frustrations over equipment, provision and funding. - Student Media: Two things. First is to secure quality external training for all our student journalists. The second is to use Gair Rhydd, Quench, XPress and CUTV a lot more in communicating all that is happening around the Union. - And Something New: After graduating last summer, I realised that both the Union and University can do so much more for students at this time. I have launched a new project, ‘Grad Week’, which gives students the opportunity to spend their gradu ation week in Talybont South (just like Freshers’ Week). There will also be bespoke careers fayres and Union club-nights for each day of graduation. ABOUT ME - I am currently the Union President. - I’ve spent 2 years as Student Council Chair - I play IMG football - I play Volleyball - I’ve run two societies - Please ask me anything about my campaign: careye@cardiff.ac.uk

TOM HINDSON PRESIDENT
The Union represents students ability to effect and create change within Cardiff University, the National Union of Students, and the Wales as a whole. One of the keys roles of President is that of facilitation. Only through full and active participation at all levels of the Unions process’s by the wider student body, will we achieve any comprehensive and effective action. We require a Union that is open and clear, so that any student with a query or grievance can come and easily receive the support of the entire student body. Only by working with all members of Cardiff University, staff and student, can the Union fully achieve its internal role of recognising students demands and being wholly accountable to them. From this platform the Union can go on to give a clear message to any external partner, and with solid legitimacy, negotiate, campaign and achieve for all. - In close consultation with the full student body, create a long term coherent strategy regarding tuition fee’s. - Creation of greater transparency and accountability by publishing detailed minutes and transcripts of council and executive meetings, increasing the frequency of meetings, and establishing effective methods of receiving student opinion. - Formation of close ties with Academic and Support Staff Unions so together we can - Full and extensive review of the Unions environmental and ethical policies, with an aim to campaign for implementation across the University. - Expansion of existing co-operative schemes, and the turning over of excess University space to small scale food production, so that students can learn horticultural expertise - Creation of a direct action committee, so that in the face of any problems the Union can respond with intelligent and immediate collective action. If you feel like the Union requires some new perspectives and is currently operating simply as a bureaucratic student management body, failing to meet its representative responsibilities, and is alienating old and new students from believing in the possibility of real change.

President of Engineering Society Keen IMG Player, Rugby and Football Current Member of Student Council with experience in student politics Policies: Stop congested Exam periods - Exams timetables can be too concentrated, 5 exams in 5 days is unacceptable. Create More 24 hour Study Rooms – During exam periods these rooms become cramped and stuffy, I aim to increase the amount of these study areas across the university during these busy periods. IMG Rugby - I have been involved for three years, and know that I can reinstate it with a league Netball – Allow teams to block book courts for training rather than having to arrange on a week by week basis. Football – Arrange a travel system to pitches, develop a system to ‘rest’ pitches so they can recover and stay at a higher quality. Union nights to stay open till 3AM – because Comeplay should be open an hour longer! introduce refereeing and coaching courses so that students leave with more than a degree. This will improve the quality of sport, and students can earn money refereeing matches. Campaign to cap any rise in student fees - Fees are expected to rise in the coming years, I will do everything possible to prevent this happening. Improve the Heath Campus ‘Student experience’ - often students based at the Heath Park campus have little interaction with the ‘rest of the university’. I will push to increase integration with students from Park Place so that healthcare students have more involvement in the Union. CHIL-MAN, VOTE TOM!

Who am I? I’m an enthusiastic and approachable Third Year Politics and Economics student. I am also President of ShAg and have been a member for all of my 3 years at Cardiff, so not only do I know what a Society, but also a Student Led Service needs to be an effective part of the Union. I have previously played for an IMG netball team, so I have an understanding of how the AU operates. I’m an elected member of student council, so have seen the democratic system working Cardiff University. A SAFE PLACE: Open a safe space after Solus closes on club nights to give you somewhere to buy food, get free water, phone a taxi for free and wait for it somewhere safe and warm. This could also include a way to get a short-term loan for a cab home if you’ve run out of money in exchange for your student card. STUDENT LED SERVICES: Make Student Led Services, (Nightline, ShAg, RAG and SVC) a clear group with their different aims recognised by the Union. This would mean they have a

SOCIETIES, EVENTS & ACTIVITIES SHAIKH IT UP
My Experience: Worked with a production company for over 5 years hence experience in event organisation. Worked with a number of societies in Cardiff. Organised events such as the charity week (roughly £2700 were raised in one week for orphans and needy children), Fusion and the Go Global World Cup. Working with societies for almost 2 years now gave me a chance to work close to the union, hence gave me the knowledge of how everything works. Having worked closely with the Union myself, I have a good knowledge of what problems different societies face, and their potential solutions. What I’ll do: Better Funding: Will make sure that the funds for societies are allocated properly to all societies, and use a feedback system where the societies get a chance to make their requirements known. More Space: particularly at times like the go global when each society needs space for rehearsals. I’ll make sure that more rooms are made available for the societies to use. More Interaction: I feel that societies should have more interaction among themselves. For this purpose, I will propose a yearlong plan in which the union would celebrate festivals from different parts of the world, as I think there isn’t any other way to come close to each other than celebrating our festivals together. More Assistance Having worked with different societies over the past two years, I realized that many Societies have trouble organising events due to the lack of experience, sponsors and other important factors. To overcome this, I propose on setting up an ‘Events Wing’ for the societies that would work towards planning and helping societies with their events.

Experience: I’m an outgoing, friendly and active member of a broad range of societies, representing them on both student council and societies council. During college I was student president organising charity events as well as the end of year ball. I also sat on the governing body as a student representative. Joining the university Anime society in its infancy, I’ve have contributed to it since by setting up a comic and artwork sessions and running a variety of events. This has given me the experience of seeing a new society grow and expand its successes which have been recognised at the Society Awards. Since becoming secretary this year I’ve made great use of the communication skills that my three years of a BA English Literature provides me with. I also currently sit on the events committee contributing to society-involved one-off club nights such as ‘Bhangra vs. Boombox’ and other new developments (i.e. CF10 now being free to hire and the possibility of a new monthly metal night). Balancing these activities with a full time degree as well as a part time job means that my organisation skills have to be fantastic and I pride myself on the ability to network and communicate successfully.

Throughout my time in Cardiff I have been heavily involved in sport, having been a successful club captain of both the Hockey and Clay Pigeon Shooting Clubs.

I want to bring the passion that I hold for sport to the Athletic Union as a whole. I am a strong communicator, which is vital when putting students concerns and demands to the University.

ATHLETIC UNION PRESIDENT CAPTAIN JACK - THE SAVVY CHOICE I’m Jack a third year Maths student. I’ve been involved with the AU since I joined Cardiff University RFC as a fresher. I have made a real home here in Cardiff through meeting loads of people both at university itself and particularly through my involvement in sport. All changes that take place within our Union rely heavily on money. As a result I feel it’s important to develop and increase student awareness of Invest In Sport and its purpose. I would aim to set up an “AU for AU” system, a part of Invest In Sport that will provide an additional source of income that can be pumped directly back into the AU. This would include events such as; a Cardiff University Rugby Sevens Competition open nationally to university sides and also to our own IMG teams, a Super Sixes Cricket tournament during the summer months, and a Cardiff University style “Superstars” Competition. Furthermore we must invest in and create better facilities for all students, IMG teams and AU clubs whilst coordinating and ensuring a fair share of these facilities for all. We want to continue to be an I hope to develop the current transport facilities for the AU and extend this to IMG sport. This will ensure a consistent coach service for players and supporters to venues such as Llanrumney and Trelai. I intend to look into using more pitches for IMG football, for example the pitches by Ninian Park. I also intend to make sure there is greater help, support and information for those looking to establish new AU or IMG clubs and generally for those unsure about getting involved at the Freshers’ Fayre. Creating some form of IMG rugby will be a priority. I believe one of the most important things to change within our University/Union is raising more awareness and generate more excitement for all sports. I feel we could generate happening each week and where those events are taking place. We can then post the results up inside the union, at the Lash and also online. Sport has always been my passion in life. I believe accessibility and success can overall quality of sports at Cardiff University.

Hi I’m Lisa and I am running for AU President. I am committed to continuing the successes of the current AU as well as improving on areas that need that bit of extra attention. Having held the role of Ladies Football Club President for the past 2 years I have gained invaluable experience in various aspects of the role and such
However, I believe that each individual club and the AU as a whole has a lot to offer potential sponsors which is why I pledge to try and secure another sponsor for the AU. Furthermore, I will organise a “meet-and-greet” evening at the beginning of term where all club committees will be invited, as will potential sponsors. This evening will hopefully help clubs secure sponsorship for their own club, but also lead to stronger relationships between clubs. Secondly, I want to continue to establish a “togetherness” brand within the AU, by developing the concept of “Team Cardiff”. The camaraderie between all clubs and members of the AU can be developed, which will give us a stronger sense of team spirit. The “Team Cardiff” idea will include AU-wide kit options so that we can be better publicised using a bimonthly newsletter and a better online presence, including weekly results, top performers and other key messages. Next year Varsity should be back in Cardiff, and I want to make it bigger and better than ever! This will be achieved by involving more teams in the peripheral games, such as IMG Varsity matches; as well as considering the option of holding Varsity over a weekend rather than on one Wednesday. Finally, I will be aiming to improve IMG by looking to introduce more sports, such as hockey and basketball, in order to ensure as many people can participate in sport that want to. Also, I will be looking to increase the coaching provisions for clubs which are struggling by subsidising coaching courses for some members of the club.

GARETH LUDKIN HEAD OF STUDENT MEDIA HIT THE G. SPOT
A little bit about me During my three years studying journalism and cultural criticism at Cardiff University I have been heavily involved in all areas of student media. I have presented a music show for three years on Xpress radio, as well as a political discussion show. I have always written for gair rhydd, and in my second year, I became the editor of the politics section. I won the award for best section of gair rhydd, and this year I am one of the news editors. I continue to dedicate my time to student media, and I hope to use my knowledge and experience to develop and improve the operations of all branches of student media. I am determined to create a more integrated and dynamic student media which encourages creativity and engages with the ideas and passions of Cardiff students. My manifesto 1. Continued development of a brand new Cardiff Student Media website which will champion and promote all branches of student media on a professional website. 2. I will set up a student media board. This will allow all areas of student media to discuss ideas, share news, promote campaigns and solve problems. A more integrated and united student media will improve and expand the quality of Cardiff student media. 3. Promotion, exposure and development of the Xpress and CUTV brand. I will strengthen and widen the appeal of the radio and TV station with more outside broadcasts from Xpress, and screenings from CUTV. More promotional events and better engagement with the entire student body to encourage students to listen to Xpress and watch CUTV. 4. I will provide greater support to the Xpress and CUTV station managers, providing ideas, encouraging creativity and maintaining support. 5. Better representation for societies with the introduction of a societies’ page in the gair rhydd. This would allow all societies to advertise events, celebrate achievements and promote their societies. 6. A redesign of gair rhydd with a more consistent and improved house style. A return of ‘Found on Facebook’. 7. Improved quality and editing time of CUTV programming. 8. Better presentation of CUTV programs, through the new student media website, through dedicated screening events, and through Union TV screens. 9. Investment in desperately needed equipment for Xpress. 10. Expansion of training and work experience days. Closer links with local media or ganisations, more master class sessions, and media training days.
JAMIE DANCE THUNDER
HEAD OF STUDENT MEDIA Who am I? Jamie Dance Thunder. Third-year English Language student. gair rhydd news editor. What have I done? I’ve edited the opinion and news sections in gair rhydd, and have sub-edited the whole paper. I’ve also written a fortnightly opinion column (The Boy Thunder). Last year I was named ‘Most Dedicated Member’ at Cardiff Student Media Awards, and the opinion section I edited was shortlisted for best section by investigative journalist Nick Davies. came runners-up in the Guardian Student Media Awards. I’ve worked at the Crewe Chronicle and the Western Mail/South Wales Echo, and write a monthly column for Vehicle, a US-based culture magazine (vhcle.com). I’ve also written for theplayground.co.uk (music reviews) and journalofplastik.com (Cardiff culture and arts zine). What will I do? I’ll be a Head of Student Media – not just a gair rhydd editor. I’ll make it my business to know what’s going on with Xpress and CUTV as well as gair rhydd and Quench. I’ve contacted previous heads of student media and this year’s Xpress and CUTV heads, so I know what needs to be done. I’ll make sure there’s co-operation and co-ordination between the different parts of student media – for far too long they’ve acted as completely separate groups. make that happen I’ll set up weekly editorial meetings for gair rhydd to help co-ordinate the sections, especially for events like Varsity, student elections, and AGM. I’ll make student media more accountable by establishing a formal complaints system – we’re your media, and if we get things wrong or are unfair you should be able to hold us to account. you should know what’s happening. I’ll ensure we scrutinise the university – but fairly. No sensationalism, no tabloid tactics, just accurate, honest reporting. Contact me There are lots of things I want to do that I don’t have space to set out here. Email me at thunderjd@cf.ac.uk or send me a message on Facebook – I’ll answer every (serious) question I get.

VICTORIA JONES WOMEN’S OFFICER
My name is Victoria Jones, I joined Cardiff University is 2007 to study Politics and Philosophy. I will be completing my degree this year and undertaking a post grad in international relations. During my time in Cardiff I have been very involved in the Debating society; I am currently President, which I very much enjoy. see that Cardiff doesn’t offer many schemes which help make the lives of their female students safer; I intend to change this. I want a mini-bus service, run by the Union, which drives women to their door steps. The mini-bus would ensure that none of our female students will be left to walk home alone again from Union run socials. I want a cheap service, running regularly from the Union to your door step, keeping you safe. I also believe in the further promotion of women’s issues. In Wales, it is recommended that women start getting smear tests from the age of 20, in contrast to England in which it is 25. I want to make sure you know the facts about smear testing; don’t wait to leave university before you start. The Union should be playing a greater role in educating women on the issues that In short, I want to protect you from the potential dangers that being a female student can policies, make any suggestions or improvements just email me!
