President_____________________________

3rd Year Arts Student (one unit to finish BA next year)

Alter system of SRC to have it at set time. Hold it once every two weeks and insist that all motions be submitted one week before the meeting. This will allow for a printed agenda to be circulated some days beforehand. Thus all interested persons would have a chance to prepare their case.

Committee Chairman of SRC committees be made members of Executive. Thus motions from SRC could be discussed at all levels and the confusion of who is responsible for what can be reduced.

Request a complete reappraisal of examination system asking all departments to consider allowing for some specified values placed on the year's work at all stages.

Set up a fund for students who lose books possessions through fire earthquake etc.

Strong recommendations for increasing bursary allowances, especially boarding bursary, to bring into line with increased living expenses caused by inflation and rising prices.

To avoid problems caused by pub crawls etc. I suggest reinstating Procesh but hold it on a Sunday.

An essential reason for my independent stand in this election is an attempt to erase the bias which will creep into the Executive if it is controlled by a single-minded Ticket. The same viewpoint would bring constantly the same Executive results and does not allow for a change of mind on the part of the student majority when it decides against a ruling Ticket's policy.

I promise a flexible Executive leadership, neither Left nor Right, having only the majority student interest as a guiding influence.

The function of the Executive is to care for the welfare of the students of this university and only an injection of flexibility and the resulting impartiality will implement this.

Publications Officer on 1470 Executive; Chai r m a n House Committe; Convenor NZUSA Committe; Abortion Committe; SRC Representative on Catering Committee. Member Publications Board for 5 years; Students Association Correspondent University Gazette; President Stuart Williamson House; 1967; Salient Staff for 3 years; Cappicade Staff and Contributor.

Reduce President's Honorarium, the money is required elsewhere.

More student participation in University and Association bodies.

Closer liaison among staff/students/stent representatives.

Accommodation (particularly flats)-the first student welfare priority.

NZUSA more relevant on campus.

Increase funds and interest in cultural, sports and political activities.

Perhaps the most notable feature of student administration is the dismal lack of interest that is usually evident. This means the few are having to bear a greatly increased work load. If the student body is to be adequately represented there must be more students encouraged to do the basic work of the Association which is far removed from the glamorous status it is supposed to have. The work is tedious and exceedingly time consuming but It Has to be Done.

Graeme is prepared to give all the time, effort and experience the job requires. He is, and will remain, impartial to all. He will serve you to the best that his abilities allow.

After Margaret Bryson has done such a good job it would be a pity to let the presidency lapse into the clutches of a mere male; so I am offering my services—as it were.

I have always thought SRC to Stand for Society tor Re-election of Crap-outs and will endeavour never to increase my knowledge of this organisation any further.

Previous experience in administrative matters will not influence my dealings with the Executive and your affairs Like you, I have no previous experience I will be a truly representative president. Give politics a miss (Gollan).

Think about yourself not your friends. Vote me vote Gollan.

Bill Logan is the Radical Activist Ticket candidate for the presidency. He was editor of the then weekly Salient in 1968 and student representative on the University Council 1969-70. Doing Asian Studies Honours, he is a member of the Progressive Youth Movement and the Wellington Area Organiser of the Spartacist Lague.

Bill says he believes that with an Executive "strong and unashamed in its radicalism" the Students' Association will become "a real force for change in the university and in society".

"Change must give more choices and more power to more people. Individuals must be given more choices in their degree structures, and by the provision of facilities ranging from creches and contraceptive services to a freer access to education —more choices in their personal lives. The membership of the university as a whole must be given more power in running the university.

"I believe that democracy is both the most practical and the most just method of government. It is impossible to establish full democracy in a university financed to service businessmen—but we can fight for something better than we have," he said.

Logan: King Rat

More Choices and More Power to More People

Politics at this university over the past few years have reached a point of absurdity. It is now time that sanity was restored. I wish to emphasise (i) Students own the Sub, they should therefore have full control in the running of the building, (ii) The Sub with its now improved facilities should become the cultural centre of Wellington (iii) We should stop worrying about our downtown image and concentrate upon running things on the hill in the way we want them. Thus (iv) Emphasis will be placed on SRC to find the opinions of the student body, (v) Executive will follow the majority decisions of SRC but will do its utmost to influence that decision, (vi) This ticket promises Active Leadership from the top. The issues that Soap will be tackling Art Student Issues, (a) Housing, (b) bursaries, (c) discipline, (d) finance, (e) cultural affairs, (f)social life on campus, (g) women's rights, (h) the planning of the campus (i) catering, (j) co-operative shop, (k) parking, (l) opening of meetings to all students. This platform is concerned for students and their rights on their own campus.

Background: Age 26. BA in Classics, one year of Commerce, presently studying Maori. Extensive experience in chairmanship, administration and representation on committees of organisations both within and outside universities in Austral including membership of co-ordinating committee for overseas student weltare, two years elccted member of Canterbury SRC for commerce, trade union delegate in carpet factory, clerk, social worker, in 1970 Student Representative on Arts Faculty, Secretary of Te Reo Maori (Maori Language Society) and actively involved in promoting Maori ideas and ideals, member and past executive member of both Christian Union and Student Christian Movement.

Policy: The president is not only an administrator but also the spokesman for the expressed views of the Association. The main issues today concern political, racial and economic injustice in the community and the allied questions of education. I don't subscribe to the doctrine of the homogenous society with its faceless, viewless, colourless stereotype members On different issues I may tend towards either right or left wing, but a student associaton will never really get off the ground unless both wings are given their due.
