Alan Ward
Alan Ward has graduated B.A. and holds a Senior Scholarship in History. He has competed in three summer tournaments and is a committeeman of the Athletic Club. Also on committee of the Weir House Association and president of the Historical Society (remember "Ward v. Munz" at the AGM).
He is concerned about the apathy of the students and college big shots towards physical education activities and certain sports. Would work for greater Exec backing for these activities and seek to interest College Council in supporting efforts to secure better facilities until Te Aro is broken in.
Would also wish to foster better public support for VUC by publicising the, real work of the College—its faculties and its specialist clubs—through advertising, liaison with city organizations and perhaps a new periodical like a cross between Political Science and Time.
Sees an urgent need for better common room facilities and would support the idea of a good common common room with proper amenities in the main Arts block.
