Aag gained four seats and Oras gained six seats during last week’s student council elections. Only 21.5 percent of all TU Delft’s BSc and MSc students (2,813 voters) voted last week.
It was hoped that there would be a higher turnout, because for the first time it was possible to vote electronically. Students, therefore, didn’t have to go to their own faculty to vote. For foreign student there was an obstacle, however. The election committee did not make an English translation of the election announcement. (See page 1)
.chap A bridge can be made of sand
Students managed to make a sand bridge, measuring 2-meter long and 80 centimetres high. While three students stood on a block of sand, others were chipping away some sand beneath them. In this way a bridge appeared, starting of small and growing larger, until cracks appeared. The previous weekend, students of the international student organisation AEGEE built sand sculptures. Although the weather was bad on Sunday, they managed to build some nice sculptures. “Everybody kept on working during the rain – really fantastic,” said one of the organisers, Bram van Driel.

.chap Students are designing safer skates
Five teams from secondary schools and fifteen student teams from Tu Delft will compete next Thursday in a design contest for skate brakes. The teams must design a new type of brake that’s safer than the ones currently used. Famous Dutch skater, Erik Hulzenbosch, will test the brakes. Last year mechanical engineering students organised a contest for dart machines. Last years winning machine managed to defeat the former Dutch world champion Barney.
