Impoverished no more

Sirs, — "Students Invest £10,000 In City"; striking, headline in the Evening Past? Striking, yes, and notable. Notable because the impoverished student is no more. We, the affluent students of Wellington, can afford to bestow our largesse upon the City Council. I never realised we were so wealthy; if this is the case could we also invest in student hostels, or could perhaps the Association fee be reduced?

In fact my reflections lead me to the conclusion that we should indicate our appreciation to our Executive at a General Meeting. You know the sort of thing: "That the Association invest £10,000 in student hostels," or "That the Association fee be reduced to £5/10/-" or "That the Executive be censured for the misuse of Association funds."
