Police were called to James this evening after a driver, who was believed to be under the influence of alcohol, parked his vehicle at the college before fleeing the scene.

The unidentified car, which was found parked in a disabled bay, arrived on campus at approximately 6.00pm. Campus security were alerted after the driver was seen driving erratically. He is thought to have been intoxicated.

After parking the driver fled the scene and campus security were unable to intercept him. Police were on campus for half an hour.

Police refused to comment on the situation in detail, but did say the driver was very likely to still be on campus. The car did not have student or staff tags so the driver is thought to be from outside the University.

Campus security are presently monitoring the car and its vicinity.

Langwith college declared its election results today, joining Derwent and Halifax colleges who declared yesterday following last week’s JCRC elections.

Langwith held one of the most diverse elections this year, with both Chair and Vice-Chair fiercely contested. Sam Asfahani was elected as JCRC Chair, beating off competition from Phil Mason and Simon Wood. Maxine Wilkins and Kelly Briggs were victorious in a very close Vice-Chair election and Anna Shaw was uncontested for Secretary.

Former Bar Rep Joe Rankin was elected JCRC Chair for Derwent, while former RAG Rep Anna Claire Younger won the Vice-Chair vote. Bryn French and Siobhan Gore were elected Secretaries.

Chair was one of the only contested positions in this year’s Derwent elections, with joke candidate McLovin coming in second. There was a sizeable vote to Re-open nominations.

The new officers of the Halifax College Student Association will line up below newly-elected Chair Roberto Powell. Nick Synnott and Phil Walker were elected Vice-Chair, with Dominic Titherington elected Treasurer. The majority of HCSA positions, including that of chair, were uncontested in this election.

Other college election results are expected to be declared within the next week.

GSA President, Rui Huang, and GSA Academic and Welfare Officer, Patrick Vitalone, lost their seats in a controversial by-election last week.

These by-elections were called after the GSA Elections on October 31, where many students were unable to get into Edge Bar to cast their vote. Other positions which had previously had no nominations were also included in the by-elections.

The results were as follows:
President: Luke Martin
Treasurer: Tom Flynn
Academic and Welfare: Geng Pen
Overseas Officer: Chitvan Bochiwal and Rubab Satti
National Post-Graduate Committee Officer: Peng Ren
Facilities Officer: Ming Luo

Huang was disqualified for breaching Rule 10 of the Rules and Regulations for Campaigning, which states that candidates “may not send out mass emails for campaigning purposes. Any candidate who sends out emails of this nature will be disqualified.”
