With Undergraduate Council presidential elections on the horizon, the council may be putting the most important question about its future in the hands of the students.

One minute they are harnessed to a vertical wall of musical hubcaps, the next smashing broomsticks in a ritualistic dance. It was dance, drama, action and comedy rolled into a ball. And not a word was spoken...
