Meeting Terminated

On resumption, squabbles and bickering broke out, yet again; and before long, the meeting was once more adjourned. A second break could not quell the fist-threatening students however, and after the second resumption the 64th A.G.M. had to be terminated through the Exec. Officers walking off stage.

It is interesting to see that whereas the S.G.M. drew much more of an anti-Exec. gathering which could successfully railroad the motions; the A.G.M. found a more balanced situation. The students were not swayed by Invectives and abuse as they were on Friday night. The A.G.M. developed, in every way, into a personal harangue, between Dwyer and the rest, between left and right and between the left themselves. In actual fact, certain members nearly came to blows. It is hard to envisage, after the A.G.M. shambles, that the demonstrators — liberals — fees issue boys will be in any sort of lighting shape in the next six months. In fighting amongst themselves, they have disrupted their whole cohesion and pressure. A further S.G.M. however (to finish the business left unattended at the A.G.M.) might find them back on their feet, fighting against yet another conservative Exec. This, at the moment, appears Improbable.—Ed.
