Association President Candidate: Rory McLion

The Stand has interviewed every sabbatical candidate. If you have any other questions that you’d like us to ask them just email us.

Why do you feel that Association President is important to St Andrews?

There needs to be a top dog (or in this case, cat…) looking out for the well-being of students and ensuring everyone’s having a party here in the UK, because if people aren’t having fun they’ll end up being brainwashed by Miley Cyrus and emigrate to the States…

What do you believe makes you especially qualified for the job?

Well I’m the only lion, and everyone knows lions can get away with more cheekiness than humans. I already have a better working relationship with the principal than any sabbatical has ever had (check out my Facebook profile pictures – we’re best buds.) It’s so great in fact that she has already agreed to put hammocks in her garden for me (one of my amazing solutions to solve the accommodation crisis.) Someone needs to keep these humans in check, and I’m the one who can do it. Who run the world? CATS.

What are the three main principles that you plan to follow during your year as a Sabb?

Focus on the bare necessities; forget about your worries and your strife.

If you could make a major change in St Andrews today what would it be?

Open up a restaurant specialising in exotic meats; zebra, antelope, buffalo… nom.
