Referendum to be held next week at NUI Maynooth on the ban of coke from SU premises.

The 'ban coke campaign' at NUI Maynooth claimed a victory yesterday. Petition sheets were verified and an announcement made that a referendum will be held next Wednesday 5th May on whether or not to ban the sale of coke in SU premises.
A group of students comprising the Global Awareness Society and other non-affiliated will be campaigning to support the ban. Young Fine Gael will be coming out against the ban. We pro-ban people are feeling very optimistic. Many of us have never undertaken a campaign like this before and i know it sounds kind of soppy, but it's true - with clear convictions and the support of people who care about real issues, you can make a difference!
