UPDATED RUMOURS: Who's Running in the SUSU Elections

Here at The Tab we know what students love: gossip, scandal and rumour. Last year’s SUSU Sabbatical elections had plenty of that. This year, who knows? With nominations opening tomorrow, we will have to wait and see what candidates our union can produce. As with last year, we’ve done some sniffing around to see who may or may not be running…
