Statement of Dissociation From the Anti-Massof Poster

Statement of Dissociation From the Anti-Massof Poster

At the SRC on 12 September Lindy Cassidy alleged that the pornographic anti-Massof poster had been put out by a group of people "who have campaigned loud and long in the Association for democracy." As I have been a strong and prominent advocate this year for a more democratic and representative Students' Association — through articles in Salient, my speech at the Reform SGM and through various speeches from the floor at SRC — I consider this to be a gross slander against myself and others. I also have good reason to believe that a number of individuals have made the allegation that I am directly responsible for the anti-Massof poster. I wish to state that I am in no way connected with the appearance of the foul and wretched poster. [unclear: In] fact, in order to protect innocent parties [unclear: a] approached Mr Ratnam, the Returning [unclear: Officer,] and requested that the Police by called in [unclear: to] investigate the matter.

Finally I wish to make it known that if it [unclear: comes] to my attention that any person(s) claim that [unclear: I] am in any way associated with the writing, [unclear: layout] and other production, printing or distribution [unclear: of] this poster I will seek legal advice on such [unclear: claim].

Robin C. Craw

Salient believes that the quote of Lindy [unclear: Cassidy] in this statement is inaccurate, and that in [unclear: fact] she referred to people who were trying [unclear: to] "reform" the Association — not [unclear: introduc] "democracy" as Mr Craw suggests.
