and the Oil

In reply to Mr. Poole I have to say that the decision arrived at was on the recommendation of the Finance Committee, and was adopted unanimously by the Executive. There is a precedent for expense allowance to delegates—1945, I think. In any case, delegates will be accountable to the Exec. for their disbursement of these monies. Every other Students' Association in New Zealand pays full fares for its working delegates, who are, it must be remembered, not people who have willingly competed for the right to represent their College in a chosen sport, but public-minded students who have accepted responsibility for an onerous and often thankless task of considerable magnitude While I thank you for the opportunity of replying, I wish to say I have no intention of indulging Mr. Poole in his well-known line of public wrangling. If he has constitutional issues to raise he should do so with the Executive direct.
