So they just took your ID number and crossed it off the list on their particular stall. But there were several stalls around the campus so we just ran from one to one. I recall another time we were putting up hundreds of Vote No Confidence posters and getting into a fight with some student politicians in G-block.... good times... thanks for reminding me. I had forgotten all about the jellby bean incident.Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-86777942064313771802009-08-31T00:10:20.000+12:002009-08-31T00:10:20.000+12:00Yes Matt.

It was me (and another chap) who voted multiple times to get our free Jelly beans... and yes the student president of the time - can't recall his name - threatened us with all sorts of things if we did not un-enroll as candidates. Being young and naive at the time we did step down. Shame really. Nice jellybeans though....Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-26412007674116882852009-08-31T00:06:38.000+12:002009-08-31T00:06:38.000+12:00You will be interested to know that exactly the sa...You will be interested to know that exactly the same thing happened at Otago when they were trying to get a Queer rep as a position. Then they were giving away free sausages. The email I got said come along and vote IN FAVOUR of a Queer rep - and get your free food. If the email had said "come along and vote whichever way you want - and there is free food to get numbers up" it would have been slightly better. The specifying which way to vote was just not on though...Maxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710845602477644495.post-89049541123469228212009-08-28T00:29:32.000+12:002009-08-28T00:29:32.000+12:00Muesli bars for the health conscious?
