Experience: 1972: Overseas Student Officer; VUWSA.
1971-72: National Editor 'Berita MSSA'.
1971: Vice President, MSSA.
University/Community Intergration:
I believe University is an extension of society; intiating Social development, change and research through participation and co-operation.
Policy: Promote community projects and advocate their crediting towards degree requirements.
Women Self-Determination:
Women have not only the intelligence, but above all the heart power, to heal the hates of the modern world.
Policy: Promote women right to 1. seek equality in all fields. 2.choose abortion and birth control on demand. 3. equal participation in policy making. 4. Creche - to be free as part of student welfare service.
Student Self-Determination:
At present we are not even listened to. Surely effective student representation can only be achieved by united action.. Policy: 1. Press for the merger of NZUSA/STANZ into NUS. 2. Provide a Candidate for 'Nov' elections. 3. Make SRC the supreme decision making body.
Student Development:
Students must spend much intelligent thought on the development of 'higher values' instead of developing worth, power and scientific knowledge.
| 1. | Introduction of degrees in ecology, community development, race relations, public entertainment and social leadership. |
| 2. | Greater participation and use of student Representative on faculties. |
| 3. | Action to encourage Staff/Student joint participation. |
| 4. | Advocate open structured tutorials for the pursuit of personal research, that's credited towards degree. |
| 5. | More residential accomodation to solve accommodation problem. The $31,000 that is held in reserve be used to do so. |

Active in Ecology Action, at present in charge of Curriculum Development.
Treasurer of Young Socialists.
I don't intend to present a full coverage of ray policy here. I stand by the platform of the Young Socialist Ticket as presented by the other Candidates, and in our other election publicity. However, there is one important point I wish to make.
The question of Medical Aid to North Vietnam and Liberated areas of South Vietnam has been prominent on campus with a Special SGM reaffirming the decision to send $2,000. My position is that while Medical Aid is worthwhile it should not be a priority for the Student Movement. Students should aim for prevention and not cure, and this can best be achieved by mobilising support for political action to stop the war. The priority on finance for issues such as the Vietnam War must be building political action involving the students and not mere charity whether it be CORSO for the Imperialists or Corso for the Rads. The sooner the war is stopped the sooner Medical Aid will be unnecessary. New Zealanders cannot dissociate themselves from the murderous assault on the Vietnamese People by conscience money, but only by involving themselves in a movement to get the U.S. forces out, and leaving Vietnam to the Vietnamese.
