No Need

Mr. McKinnon, Public Relations officer, said that a comparison on a population basis with other countries did not reveal the need for a full-time president.

He also said that the average student did not appreciate the benefits and that the full-time presidency was the thin edge of the wedge.

Other officers would want to be full-time, he claimed.

A servant of the constituents is what Mr. McKinnon envisaged of NZUSA.

Saying this, he added that NZUSA should be more of an administrative body which would allow constituents to develop their own personality.
