Disruption

Pleaded President Mitchell: "You cannot throw us out so close to Capping Week." It would have meant a serious disruption to the organisation. The no-confidence move was thrown out, 132-41.

The agitating anarchists took one look around, then put up a motion calling for demonstrations if the Exec could not talk the Government out of its fees hike. It was passed.

However, nothing was done to implement the motion. So left-wing activists took it upon themselves to organise a demonstration during the opening of Parliament. False notices were circulated saying that lectures had been cancelled. They carried forged signatures of Mitchell and Secretary Moriarty.

Over 200 students turned up to the demonstration, which received Le publicity. This was in spite of Mitchell's efforts to thwart it.
