Staff and Students

At V.U.C. there tends to be a wide gulf in activities and social life between staff and students. At many "Australian universities they actually cooperate in the one comprehensive union Thus at Adelaide there is "The Union." which is in effect a university club, and holds., regular meetings. On its council are representatives of the Start Association, the (students) Sports Association, the S.R.C. (equivalent of V.U.C.S.A. Exec., except it is not concerned with sport), and the Graduates' Union. This latter body (Vic's has apparently died) is playing an increasingly active part at Adelaide. Various leading citizens, especially educationalists, take part in series of discussions which they run, and the Graduates' Union has managed to have some effect in its resolutions, e.g., pressing for certain social rights.
