Attack on Tees Attacked
Dear Sir,
Your editorial of May 28 states that fascism is characterised by "measures to stifle opposition by any means possible". Is this not epitomised by the fact that although Andrew Tees was elected to his position by popular vote, a small, ruthless group has almost succeeded in ousting him from power against the will of the students who voted for him?
It has been clear since the outcome of the 1978 elections was known that these dissenters meant to make trouble for Andrew Tees and the Students' Association ("which is appalling, considering that the decision was not based on any evidence, but on sheer prejudice").
The five resigned members of the Executive and their cohorts have been the cause of friction that is crippling the Association; they should be ashamed of their despicable ploy of engaging in "Party" politics, in what was once a Union.
Muso.
