This week’s Exec meeting consisted mostly of the Exec doing really boring shit while Critic sat huddled in the corner, trying to work out at what point life had gone so badly wrong that we were forced to report on these idiots in order to be able to buy food. Pretty standard meeting then.

In true student politician spirit, the Policy Committee had met earlier in the week and successfully passed a Blues and Golds policy. PolCom had also apparently tried to pass a membership policy, although this turned into an absolute clusterfuck when it turned out that the document didn’t say what the Exec thought it was meant to say.
 
The Exec decided to wait until Shonelle turned up to sort it out, as apparently she is the only serving Exec member not suffering from profound mental retardation. Her arrival led to the conclusion that ‘AH! We’ve been looking at the wrong document the whole time! It was missing the whole second page!’ Logan summed that one up by calling it a “balls up,” while Shonelle called her fellow Exec “morons” for not realising that they were dealing with half a policy. Thankfully, as Thomas so germanely pointed out, “with the second page it makes sense now.”
 
This new membership policy had to be put through because former Finance and Services Officer James Meager has requested to opt out of OUSA and donate his membership levy to charity. The policy becomes moot under VSM anyway, and Brad told the Exec that if they “pass this policy, we please James Meager and get him out of our Association which I see as a good thing.” Good riddance to bad rubbish?
 
After that protracted affair, the MoJos-potentially-collapsing situation had to left for next week, with the hope that it doesn’t fall down in the meantime. Advice: walk on the other side of the street from MoJos, there wasn’t a lot of optimism that it would hold steady for another seven days.
 
Sarah then got appointed to the Clinical Governance Committee, and is “fizzing” over it - easily pleased, that one. The Exec went into Strict Committee shortly after that, and the last thing we saw was Sarah kicking Logan out of chairing the meeting, and dragging a whiteboard to the front of the room. Looked intense, but we were asked politely by Logan, in the words of Ali G, “if you wouldn’t mind fucking off?” so we scarpered before the shit started to hit the whiteboard.
