Keven Tate, executive treasurer, and Roger Lawrence, association secretary, resigned last December.

Their move followed some weeks of political dissension, centred on an account from the New Zealand Universities Sports Union for a grant of £45 for secretarial services.

This followed NZUSU's move to independence some months earlier.

However, the resignations represent a greater dissension on matters of general policy, at least as far as Messrs. Lawrence and Tate are concerned.

At the end of November, 1965, an officers' meeting of the executive considered the failure of an earlier meeting to pass the requested payment.

Keven Tate opposed the payment of the amount requested. He stated that it had been agreed by the treasurers at Winter Tournament that no decision would be made on NZUSU finances until a report on secretarial services was made on October 26.
