Simon C. Roughan

The position of Man's Vice-President is a post very much ill-defined on the Executive. However, it will call of me to give support to the President, and share in some of the menial tasks in his work.

Phot of Simon C. Roughan

I am a second year Arts student. Not cast in any mould of allegiance to politics - student or external. I hold a policy though, which will be implemented only by the wish of the student voters.

On Campus

I advocate open structured tutorials for pursuing research work run by the students. This would be more effective in fostering interest in the course of study. Work for the course; rather than the lectures talking at you.

Accommodation is severely acute. Shall press for further action on accommodation.

Creche should be offered Government finance, as part of University Welfare. Must be closer to the University.

Off Campus

French Tests opposition should be endorsed. Students should act on suggestions to man vessels sailing into the test area as visible means of protest.

Anti-war Mobilisation should be supported earnestly. To keep in focus the protest of opposing war, - whoever it be fought by. Goal; Withdrawal of all foreign forces from Indo-China.

The Springbok tour should never eventuate. With S.A.'s present Apartheid policies, this issue can never be fought too vigourously. We must differentiate between our like of rugby as a sport; and our means to object to racial repression (ie. Apartheid).

As a Conscientous Objector I stand against Compulsory Military Service and support 'OHMS' in abolishing the act. Having been-balloted, I have yet to be called to the Tribunal to justify my objection.

The University should never be an Ivory Tower. It should serve as a centre to a wider community.

I offer the above, and myself, to the vote.
