The Iron Curtain

The meeting went into committee to discuss the officers of the NZUSA. The meeting decided matters concerning all students behind closed doors, therefore Salient is unable to report the long discussion of 1½ hours that took place. It is clear that the VUC delegation came to the correct conclusion that our "caretaker" executive had been ill-advised in withdrawing our nomination of Nigel Taylor as President, for when the "iron curtain" was lifted and the vote was taken, Mr. Taylor was elected with the support of VUC, AUC and OU.

The other officers were elected as follows:—Vice-Presidents: Messrs. Dowrick, VUC; Nathan, AUC; and Cunningham, CUC. Secretary, Mr. S. Campbell. Assistant Secretary. Miss Janet Bogle. Treasurer, Mr. K. B. O'Brien. Congress comptroller: Mr. Harold Dowrick.

An honorarium of £70 was voted to the secretary and one of £30 to the assistant secretary. Salient comments that it is rather a strange proceeding for an honorarium to be voted at the beginning of the year.
