Regrettable

It is a cause for regret that the A.G.M.'s tend to spend so much time in discussion of the Annual Report, albiet very valuable, that by the time the new and often controversial motions are to be discussed there is no quorum. It was particularly regrettable that contrary to general practise the Chairman insisted on counting for a quorum in the middle of discussion on such a motion. It has surely always been the practise to wait until one of the meeting raises a point of order. In this case, moreover, there were only two short, and two people were actually on their way at the tune. It seems that the Exec. might well consider ways and means to see that adequate time is given in future. Even two successive meetings might be a worthwhile idea. Moreover, we feed that the Exec. fell down badly on advertising the meeting. No club would dare to lease publicity so meagre as the Exec. customarily does. Why not an Officer with the specific task of Exce.-student realitons? The platforms of many candidates show that this is a need strongly felt by a large body of students.
