Unlike other Executive positions, an Vice President has no specific [unclear: ttfolio.] Traditionally, the MVP has [unclear: en] a backup to the President in all [unclear: cial], political and administrative [unclear: notions,] whether that means [unclear: ganising] a concert, drinking horn, a [unclear: rum] on topical affairs or [unclear: presenting] students on University [unclear: nunittees]. It means knowing how [unclear: UWSA] works and making sure it [unclear: es].

This year the Association has concentrated on Education Fightback as a response to Government attacks on student allowances, overseas students and education generally. This campaign, although highly successful in involving students and gaining public support, must contine into 1980. This year I was actively involved in the campaign.

If elected, I will not only work on the Education Fightback campaign, but also other social and political issues that concern students. I have had a wide range of social and political administrative experience.

Last summer, I was involved in organising jobs for students. I worked on the highly successful orientation and the Hello Sailor, Citizen Band and Steroids hops this year. I've been National Affairs Officer for 1979 and have organised the student march on May 17 that opened our Fightback campaign and Forums on industrial relations and gay rights.

If life at Univeristy is to be more than just Libraries and Lectures, then you will need a good executive who will do the work you ask of them.
