The New Mr Everything



Matt Cam must have been an observant student during his student council years.

In his latest effort, fellow students are starting to compare his influence and prodigious work habits to those of the man they used to call "Mr. everything." – Justin Tilley.

Cam is the guy, they say, who Council President Matt Cantatore trusts implicitly and whose job it is to clear away the political underbrush so that the President can focus on other, bigger things.

Example this week is Cam’s email to IT support services to get this website off the scene. In the opinion of www.gordprisco.blogspot.com it is only harmful to current and prospective students wishing to know more about clubs at Bond University. It is a disgrace and it seems as though it will be fixed.

Studying Bachelor of Commerce after finishing a Law degree, Cam has been at Bond for 9 semesters and hails from near Byron Bay.

Cam and Cantatore worked together in 2005-06 Law Student’s association. It’s just too bad Cam isn’t on the LSA today to clean up their Website issues - which ironically still has Cam's and Cantatore's photos on the page.

Remember when this site was up promising a new LSA website? Remember when they asked us to THINK? Well, that was 124 days ago. I bet LSA President Brendan Donoghue is “thinking” that he’d like to have the new Mr Everything on board to do some thinking for him.

Only three days after their election, Bond’s council is hard at work with Cam leading the way and putting the lessons of previous councils to work. Rumour has it that their inagural council meeting was 6 1/2 hours long.

Cam’s role deals with the day-to-day operational requirements of council along with helping out the various Councillors so that President Cantatore can focus on larger issues. Issues such as developing and refining a strategy for VSU, what to do with Wednesday by the Water, or how to tackle the prickly club sponsorship issue.

Sources say Cantatore also relies heavily on Cam for advice.

"I think Cantatore’s respect grew for Cam after LSA," one source said. "He didn't have a lot of flair, but Cantatore liked his congenial approach to things. Cantatore trusted him and he doesn't trust a lot of people."

Yet some have questioned Cam’s ability to have time for the position on council with his many responsibilities at school including a new role as law tutor. However, to this observer, it seems so far that Cam can handle the workload just fine.

It’s just too bad we didn’t see him one more time on LSA.

For www.gordprisco.blogspot.com, this is The Vitamin.

i think it's a joke. you bond boy bloggers complain that emma complains too much. you and the skuller would have to be two of the biggest wingers and complainers around. fine you do it to get things done but i don't think anyone has the right to go around telling other students they are complainers!

No I'm THINKing that I was spot on with calling you a disgrace the other day.

Once again no mention of anything positive that has happened in the last week.

Keep up the good work Gord, god knows Australia needs more winging people like you to not do anything but complain.

Brendan,

These are your words...

"Once again no mention of anything positive that has happened in the last week."

The whole article is about something positive. It's about Council acting! Time for you to think about acting Donoghue.

Perhaps Mr Everything would like to meet Mr Penicilin?

I think we have been graced to have 3 great VP for Student Council in the last few years. Brokoff, Tilly and Camm, Makes you happy to go to Bond.

The odds on the introduction of a new LSA website are in

150 days after taking office $4.50
200 days after taking office $4.00
250 days after taking office $3.50
300 days after taking office $3.00
Never $1.20

and to think LSA President is Director and 50% shareholder in an IT company, yet he is incompetent in creating one for the LSA, Meanwhile he rather work on a HSA site for there book sale, lacking the intellegence to see competition.

Skuller supporting the irresponsible consumption of alcohol

Monkey wants to know if the media cross ownership laws being passed will effect this blog? Has the editor recieved a tender from James Packer or Kerry Stokes? Given its readership of fine upstanding citizens (Skuller excluded of course), the commercial viability of this blog is huge!

On a further note, would the Vitamin like to comment on the reports of his association with people I would label as a 'discrace'? Social association says a lot about a person, what does it say about the Vitamin?

"what does it say about the Vitamin?" what does that say about you?

Monkey Magic should remind 'Drew' that he knows who she is. Monkey Magic knows all

Drew will also remind Monkey that she knows who he is and kindly asks that he stops learing at her in lectures. It's getting creepy.

Speaking of Bond Boy Bloggers here is an extract of scientific research which was posted on the ABC (your national broadcaster) today:
Scientists have found beetles with the biggest horns have the smallest testes, showing that in evolutionary terms you cannot have it all.

My experience is where there in smoke there is FIREWATER. If the Lsa President is behaving in the manner he is ie;
1 accepting free drinks at Melbas whilst enticing students to go there
2 telling us he is an it geek whilst failing to fix the lsa site
3 taking positions on staff at Bond without offering the position to students
4 failing to take the library hours saga on for students
etc
What does his past reveal? Has he suddenly become the non delivering free drink skulling failing public official we know him to be?

Listen noting the LSA Presidents position of accepting free drinks at Melbas and the fact that he shows up the next day a little the worse for wear (ie skulling free booze at Melbas) we should instigate a mandatory 'Breath Test' and 'Sobriety' test. ie walk the line, touch nose, stand on one foot routine prior to allowing Brendan to represent the student body. This is particulary important if Brendan is going to vote on issues involving student nights at Melbas.
