Elections will take just over an hour and we will then count and announce the

celebratory drinks afterwards!

We feel Pulse Radio injects a whole world of fun into LSE's campus and this 
is true inside the station too. So many people say how getting involved has 
massively improved uni for them and while aiming to be professional, 
entertaining and informative, we always make sure we have fun while doing it. 
So give it a go and get involved, or at least come have your say on Monday 
night.

____________
NOMINATION & PROXY VOTING DEADLINES


Nominations for positions have to be emailed to pulse_radio@lse.ac.uk by 
Monday midday. The email should include your name and the position you wish 
to run for.

Whoever elected will hold the position until next February (unless they step 
down before then), so final year students shouldn't apply as they will have 
graduated. Also, whoever gets elected will receive a full handover to get 
them up to speed on their role.

Any LSE student can run for a position, however only those on the production 
group can vote.

If you are unable to make the election itself and still want to run you can 
send a manifesto and someone can read it out.

Equally, if you can't make the election but want to vote, you can proxy vote. 
To do this, pick a member of the production group to vote for you (be your 
proxy) and either tell them who you are voting for or let them decide on your 
behalf. You need to email pulse_radio@lse.ac.uk by 5pm Monday saying who your 
proxy is (but don't tell us who you are voting for)
One person can hold no more than 2 proxies, so check with them first and a 
candidate list will be sent out at midday on Monday.

POSITION DESCRIPTIONS

Deputy Station Manager

The reason for resurrecting this role is that there is still huge potential 
to grow Pulse even further than we have over the last two years. Having extra 
energy and ideas put into the station will make sure we maintain the 
professional programming we have achieved this year, while continuing to 
expand into new areas and continue to improve!

The job: As with the Station Manager, you will be taught how the whole 
station runs and have a crucial role in deciding on Pulse's direction and 
style. A heavy focus is on our marketing, events and sponsorship elements, 
however you will be expected to get your hands into every part to back up and 
influence the Station Manager.

You'll even get your own set of keys!


Head of Programming

You will be responsible for choosing what programmes get on air. The role 
will involve reviewing shows throughout the year and ensuring we have great 
quality programmes with interesting/fun/cool/quirky content. You will also 
have a great deal of independence about what our schedule will look like.

Head of Music

You will be in charge of creating the Pulse Radio music playlist, which is 
broadcast during the day on a daily basis. You will be in charge of our 
musical direction, and should have a very broad music taste, which 
appreciates both old and new bands/producers. You also have the opportunity 
to run the Pulse radio Music Team, who are responsible for reviewing new 
bands and putting them up on our website. This includes loads of free tickets 
to gigs!

Head of News

We are very proud of our high quality news content, and we want the best 
candidates this year. You will be responsible for producing our weekday news 
feeds, which are on the hour, every hour. You will run our News team, who 
will help you with finding interesting information from around the Student 
Union. We are looking into expanding our SU sports coverage! You will have 
lots of support rest assured. We won't throw you in the deep end and there is 
already a fully trained news team in place until the end of term so you can 
find your feet.

Head of Marketing

You will make Pulse noticeable and recognisable about campus! You will make 
posters and other marketing materials, and have a direct voice in the image 
of Pulse. Great if you want experience using Photoshop and html and other 
arty software programmes.

Head of Communications

This is a fantastic social position. You will speak to the SU and the 
Sabbatical officers, and get us benefits and advantages for the radio 
station. In the past the head of Comms has negotiated the SU to put links to 
Pulse radio on campus pcs, and we are close to playing in halls. Essentially, 
get to know everyone around the SU and see how we can try out new ideas with 
other parts of it.

Head of Business

Responsible for getting us sponsorship and preferable deals for the radio 
station. If you are a people person then this is the role for you. In the 
past we have had sponsorships from the likes of Bento Box, Milkround and 
Bloomberg and we want to go even further this year. Sponsorships with NME? 
Sponsorships with Vice Magazine? Cocopops? If you have some great ideas then 
run for this position!

Head of Production

Know how to use music software, or want to learn how to? This position 
involves making jingles and beds (music we talk over) for our radio shows. We 
use a software Package called Ableton, and has a very quick learning curve. 
Even if you don't have any experience we still want you to run! If you are 
fun and imaginative then you will make some cracking jingles, yes sir.

Head of Events

This is great for people who have experience running events in the past, or 
want to have a shot at it. We have a reputation for putting on some jolly 
good parties, and we want to have some more next term. You will arrange at 
least one party in Michaelmas term so all our DJs and friends can let our 
hair down, and have a cheeky snakebite and ensure Pulse stays sociable and 
fun!
