McCaw Addresses Students

Fllowing the Principal's address, Mr. Malcolm McCaw, President of the Executive of V.U.C.S.A., addressed the Freshers. He pointed out that he, with the Executive, was for the first time making a speech in C.3. (The Executive had entered with the Principal and had heard his address.)

The reason for this was he said, two-fold: the students introduced the Principal, thus endorsing staff student relations: and the President could say what he wished, without a continual barrage of interjections.

Mr. McCaw pointed out that all affairs of the College affecting students were run by students Capping Ball. Procesh, Extrav, "Salient." the various College clubs and societies. The annually elected Executive controlled the finances of the Association some £5000 annually.

"Take a pride in V.U.C.," suggested McCaw. "Don't criticise what you see." . . . At this point an alarum clock, ringing gaily, was lowered from above. The President's address then closed briefly, and Weir House took over. Experienced Miss M-P, Barnao was chosen from the crowd by a member of the haka party who, after a few antics, led the way to the Upper Gym.

Here free cokes followed an initiation ceremony led by Roger ("Night-watchman") Harris. Then dancing took pride of place on the agenda, and "a pleasant time was had by all."

We would like to congratulate here Miss P. Beck, Women's Vice-President on the Executive, who was controller and organiser of the activities for Freshers' Week, which have all been a wholehearted success.
