BREAKING: These Are The People Running to Edit Honi Soit

By Pulp Goss

We are on the verge of the second wave of elections here at USYD as the two tickets competing for the Honi editorship have been solidified. So, who better to break this news than yours truly?

The two tickets running this year are CREAM and FIT. And since you’re dying to know who they are, here is a rundown of all the people running. 

The two tickets have very different make ups. FIT is looking like the left ticket, with some Grassroots members and others that are known leftists on campus. CREAM on the other hand presents a mixture of people from all political backgrounds.

FIT*

Ranuka Tandan – Ranuka has been active with Honi being a reporter and artist in 2018/19. She has contributed to The Guardian Australia, Pulp Media, and was a Sub-editor for Women’s Honi in 2017.

She is a published writer for Archer Magazine. She has won the Honi Soit 'Best of Art' Award (2017). She hasn’t been too involved in the Stupol hack life before, so her political affiliations remain more opaque than some of the others. Fit assures us that everyone is left.
