[unclear: Comment][unclear: for] Tees

[unclear: meo] my Nightmare

[unclear: Wednesday] 6th June at 6.00 pm, I [unclear: thaigh] the door of the Boardroom [unclear: nd], an observer, a meeting of the [unclear: xecutive], with the intention of [unclear: the] - called Maoist, Cornmy, Red [unclear: es] in action against our [unclear: defen-w] dear to students", Andrew [unclear: I fend] out of course that there are [unclear: e] but a clique? What a load of

[unclear: we] strongly about the criticisms [unclear: Mr] Tees and, as an average [unclear: stu-felt] I should see if those [unclear: circum] we founded.

[unclear: at] I countered was nothing less than [unclear: is] (say I shouldn't insult the circus' [unclear: fining] animals.) Its not that there [unclear: thg] wrong with the hardworking [unclear: was] just that the ringmaster was [unclear: gdiot] that was out of his depth.

[unclear: ho] on dear reader, before you stop [unclear: th] letter with the comments "Fuck [unclear: noth] Marxist," I feel I should justify. [unclear: m] being an average student.

[unclear: a] st year B.A. student. Like the [unclear: ent] I loathe Professor Clarke, [unclear: age] student, I attend SRC not [unclear: $'s] are any good but because SRC [unclear: t] in the same room that I like [unclear: y nch] in Like the average student [unclear: der] whether couldn't have done [unclear: nore] productive with $43 than gi[unclear: e] students association; something [unclear: shi] it down a sewer I am not in any [unclear: lied] with any political party, and I [unclear: g] up to believe that "Marxism", [unclear: al] sin. At the recent SGM I [unclear: vo GAIST] the no-confidence motion, [unclear: now] regret, and like many [unclear: stued] against the motion because [unclear: t] any of the "leftist clique" to [unclear: sident].

[unclear: the] exec' meeting Mr Tees [unclear: stri-][unclear: down], and calls the meeting to [unclear: ld] behold he forgot that you [unclear: e] a quorum. Five minutes [unclear: la- ing] and buying chips, he calls [unclear: t]; to order.

[unclear: end] of ten minutes. I considered [unclear: i] ways do that in an acutely [unclear: em-ituation]. You know that feeling [unclear: en] watching Lucille Ball in "Heres [unclear: takes] you feel embarrassed for the [unclear: cipants]. Well, I had that same [unclear: fee-] that Mr Tees wasn't funny ([unclear: al-gh] took nothing seriously), only [unclear: de-l] pathetic.

[unclear: etty] young ladies that I know think [unclear: cause] his trousers are always too [unclear: im] Well, thank God something [unclear: ttention] away from his obvious [unclear: ins] when it comes to [unclear: administrai] the meeting someone mentions hat stirs up quite a bit of [unclear: argu-airness] I won't say what the out - I"ll leave that up to Mr Tees when [unclear: gets] around to making up During the course of this discus[unclear: ces] was criticised for his lack of [unclear: re] presidential duties, to which with such mature comments as you arrogant animal", and when [unclear: o] his own exec, "Bastards", "[unclear: mind-ds]". etc etc etc, in a display that [unclear: alt] the intelligence of a below a-[unclear: l] former.

[unclear: s] here paper it would be impossible [unclear: u] any idea of how bad this guy [unclear: reaa] out that I happen to agree in some [unclear: t] Mr Tees' views i.e. paying more to campus problems than some [unclear: n] the other side of the world, but [unclear: ay] that he carries out those views [unclear: adily] eroding away a group of [unclear: de-ple] who have decided to stick out instead of taking the easy way [unclear: esigning] (with a few exceptions of [unclear: li].

[unclear: nny] thing is that although I find [unclear: o] embarrassingly pathetic in his [unclear: p] etc, he is still a very sincere hard [unclear: guy] whose personal attributes are many and varied, unfortunately administration is not one of those attributes.

Finally dear reader I urge You to attend the next exec meeting (ask at studass for date) but get drunk at SASRAC before you go because if Mr Tees is up to his usual bungling form, you'll need the fortification of a bottle of scotch to stop yourself crying in frustration at his incompetence and the fact that the majority of you helped keep him as president when we had the chance to oust him.

Mr Tees take note and remember: "Consider well what your strength is equal to, and what exceeds your ability." (Horace).
