Remits
Remits
The remit concerning section 20 "Finance" was confirmed as a basis for discussion. This concerns the payment of 6d. by every member of NZUSA for the purpose of IUSA affiliation.
The remit concerning the Joynt Scroll rules was ratified. This remit urges that the word "speaker" be replaced with the word "debater." Mr. O'Brien felt that the matter was of psychological importance.
The following remits were also ratified:
- re Student News. Mr. McArley expressed the opinion that it would do no harm and would arouse interest. Mr. Lovell thought that the present organ was inadequate. Mr. O'Brien remarked that this was a "hardy annual" at NZUSA conferences.
- re Student Congress. The congress will be in the V.U.C. area in January, 1949. Mr. O'Brien explained that it would be on the lines of the W.E.A. summer school at Feilding modified to the needs of the University. This led to a brief exchange of wit between Messrs. O'Brien and Lovell.
- re Winter Tournament. Mr. O'Brien suggested that as Winter Tournament was at present too costly and lasted for over a week, knockout competitions be introduced in some sports. The number of competitions could, he suggested, also be reduced. At present there were two shooting competitions, one at Easter Tournament and one at Winter Tournament. As only one college had a golf club, golf could be eliminated quite well. He remarked that applications for Contract Bridge and Chess Competitions had been rejected in the past.
- re Attendance at Conference armed with adequate information. Too often. Mr. O'Brien said, delegates arrived at conferences with only their toothbrushes and pyjamas. A waste of time resulted while these delegates had the situation concerning matters under discussion explained to them.
