However, on further research I find that in FELIX dated October 1979 Chris Sleap had failed his exams. FELIX also states that papers will go back up for this (and other failed Union posts) shortly.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not been able to find out who did actually take on this roll, later that year. This then is a somewhat unique interview. Mark Foley was the interviewer in the college TV Studio. We&#8217;d still not gone fully into colour, so interviews were still in black and white.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4JyulYwBCs0?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw July 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 1979 Chris Sleap was RSMU President Elect, but he never took that post up!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[80,82],"tags":[279896,975,89,18467],"class_list":["post-7674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-people","category-student-life","tag-rsm","tag-student-union","tag-students","tag-tv-studio"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Chris Sleap - RSMU President Elect: 1979 - Imperial College Video Archive Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/chris-sleap-rsmu-president-elect-1979\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Chris Sleap - RSMU President Elect: 1979 - Imperial College Video Archive Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 1979 Chris Sleap was RSMU President Elect, but he never took that post up!\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/chris-sleap-rsmu-president-elect-1979\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Imperial College Video Archive Blog\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-07-01T10:02:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-07-02T15:15:11+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Colin Grimshaw\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Colin Grimshaw\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/chris-sleap-rsmu-president-elect-1979\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/chris-sleap-rsmu-president-elect-1979\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Colin Grimshaw\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/blogs.imperial.ac.uk\/videoarchive\/#\/schema\/person\/4311976ffc5be7f49bbc628f4d3e591e\"},\"headline\":\"Chris Sleap &#8211;
