The Student Government should be actively promoting this Vietnam War opposition. Conservative student governments have been a major reason for the stagnation of this movement here in New Zealand.

Policy:—

1. To actively promote the movement of opposition to the War in Vietnam.

2. To replace Fritz Levenbach as union caterer with a manager, paid by the students' association and responsible to the SRC. This ensures that students get food at the cheapest possible prices and that profits made on after-hours catering accrue to the association and not to an individual.

3. To demand a rise in wages of the dining room staff.

4. To invest union money into its own bookshop on or near the campus. This bookshop to be run by students on part time wages, at no profit to the association, thus providing cheaper books for students.

5. To create more interest among the student population for their active participation, through the Student Representation Council, in Union policy and Campus affairs. This would be done by raising issues of wide controversy such as is not being done at present.
