Embarrassed

What has been done about the vandalism and breaking and entry round the university? Was executive so embarrassed because their own officers were involved that they had to call a special meeting of officers, which no one else was allowed to attend. The meeting ended with the culprits being patted on the head and told not to be naughty boys again.

What has been done about the proposed Student Warden? Salient is sick and tired of being told/ this is a subject of delicate negotiations.

Is it so delicate that the students are not entitled to know what's going on, or even to know that anything is going on, or that the student warden is really a serious issue?

It came up years ago and still the students know nothing about it. And just quietly few of the exec members really know what is going on.

The constitution is at last cleared up to exec's satisfaction and an attempt was made, again unconstitutionally to rush its ratification through the student body so elections at the end of the month could be run on the proposed "portfolio system." Because of the shocking organisation of the first S.G.M. called for this purpose, it lapsed for lack of a quorum.

So they resorted to the subterfuge of calling it in a full common room at lunchtime.

At this stage the constitution should only be ratified by the A.G.M. and brought into effect in the coming year not before the election and certainly not postdated as was attempted.

Anyway the S.G.M. was out of order as exec only gave Mitchell and Hercus the power to "investigate the possibility" of calling an S.G.M., there was no mention of power to act.
