Somerville JCR got more than they bargained for at last Sunday’s meeting, as JCR President John McElroy was mandated to perform a striptease.
Birthday boy McElroy was ordered to perform a strip tease whilst singing a song, “preferably Abba”, in an emergency motion proposed by David Sankey and Stavros Orfanos.
The motion was amended, stating that McElroy only had to strip to his boxers. The altered motion passed with only two objections, though McElroy challenged the mandate as his name had been misspelled.
He said, “I thought I may have found a loophole when I discovered that my name had been spelt wrong in the first clause, but this was hastily corrected in an amendment - I was flattered by the tenacity of certain supporters of the motion.”
