The Full Letters

I Wish to tender my resignation from the position of honorary secretary to the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association, effective as from 7pm Monday, December 20, 1965. While I deeply regret having to take such a step. I feel that the continued financial irresponsibility of the association executive and its associated committees leaves me little choice.

In order to maintain any degree of self-respect I can no longer sit on a body which by its failure to fully consider the implications of the decisions it passes has lost the confidence of the organisations with which it deals.

Any business organisation must maintain a 'no nonsense' attitude, but unfortunately the present executive has chosen to adopt a policy of appeasement and placation at any price.

I also view with deep concern the fact that the executive has seen fit to pass far-reaching financial decisions over the objections of the association treasurer. In order to achieve the financial responsibility which previous executives have not attained, the executive must have full confidence in the treasurer where questions of finance are concerned.

Although my resignation might be regarded as desertion of the association in what I feel to be its time of need, I have not taken this decision without careful deliberation.

Yours sincerely,

Roger Lawrence.

I Hereby tender my resignation effective from today, from the position of treasurer of the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association, as I cannot have my name associated with the irresponsible and gutless manner in which the present executive of the association appears to enjoy conducting its business.

Yours faithfully,

Kevin L. Tate.
