Exec Notes

Crockery Souvenired

Mr D. Wilson, the president, informed the executive at a meeting on March 5 that the proposal about members of executive visiting secondary schools was submitted to the Vice-Chancellor, Dr. J. Williams, who will pass the information on to the Council at its next meeting.

After Miss Jenks had presented her report on the cafeteria a lengthy discussion took place. Mr Wilson asked if the price of the evening meal had been increased and assured Mr Hercus that the management of the cafeteria was able to increase the price.

In Mr Wilson's opinion the cafeteria is functioning quite well in comparison with previous years. There is an amazing amount of souveniring of crockery for student flats and, although Miss Jenks was not certain the fact ought to be publicised. Mr Mitchell's motion that it be mentioned in Salient was carried.

Subsidy Suggested

According to Miss Jenks the only way to bring cafeteria prices down is for the executive to give a subsidy to the [unclear: caf]. Miss Thompson suggested the Education Department should subsidise the cafeteria in the same way as they do the school milk scheme, to which Mr Mitchell replied we were after all growing children.

Acting on Miss Beck's suggestion, Mr Hercus moved that an ad hoc committee be appointed to inquire into the organisation of the present cafeteria and also the one for the new building.

He outlined the work of the committee and mentioned the following points for consideration: Prices, variety of food, staff and labour, materials, service and hours, subsidies, equipment.

Messrs. C. [unclear: Backler] and T. Goddard and Misses B. Jenks and C. Pointon were nominated for this committee, which will be assisted by an accountant when discussions are held with Miss Rosie's accountant.

Extravaganza

Mr Mitchell reported arrangements for Extravaganza were proceeding smoothly. It has been decided that the tour after the Wellington season will be to Hastings this year. The question of a grant to the Extravaganza finance controller was deferred until the end of the month.

The report of the select committee on the organisation of Executive was discussed. Mr Mitchell said qualified and experienced people were needed for exec, and suggested anyone standing for a position on exec, should have had one year on a house committee for experience.

It was pointed out that every university has its own special problems and that the select committee considered that it had worked out the best system for V.U.W.

A discussion on the new Student Union building followed. At this stage it was not clear who will appoint the warden, but dissatisfaction was expressed by several members at the possibility of losing direct control of the building.

It was decided Exec. would wait until further knowledge was available before making a definite opinion known.

Miss Beck's motion that the Vice-Chancellor be invited to an Executive meeting to discuss the warden of the Student Union buiiding was carried.

about cappicade

around this time of the year the three or four or thereabouts editors of Cappicade find themselves in the cactus.

this is not because they spend the whole vacation deciding what they will put into Cappicade and after they decide find it isn't written yet.

so you can do much for the editors by going up to them and telling them stories and rimes and cartoons and ideas and helping them with layout and money; almost you could write Cappicade.

the editors are called mike corballis, david halley, dennis lander and john gamby, anyone who has been at Victoria since 1920 will point them out in the caf.

meet them or

leave your stories, rimes, etc, on the board marked notis board in the common common room clearly marked Cappicade (or mike corballis, david etc.).

a clew: we are writing a magazine called YOJ, new Zealand's most backward magazine.

yours in Cappicade.

Not a Whisper

Also present at the Exec meeting was Mr D. Hampton. Accompanying him was a .22 rifle; both were silent throughout the meeting.
