It is 2 am and I am learning to type, so I thought I would write a letter to you. How are you,7...

It's Sunday morning and I've just been glancing at your rag (sorry-your newspaper) and I happened to see who's standing for President next year...I suppose by the time you print this some idiot will have been elected. Looks like Hobsons choice to me; God! Merv will run rings around Sowman! Very wisely he wouldn't speak to Massof, and he wouldn't take part in a drinking horn with Mike McAleer either! How can such a pack in incompetents stand for such a position purporting to represent students?

Andrew Tees may have been a bit of an amateur at the start, but at least he had a necessary knowledge of all the issues concerned. What the hell does Phil Sowman know about Education issues for instance? What did he do for the successful Education Fightback campaign? Sweet F... a... Caroline Massof is unpopular and immature and from all accounts McAleer has a slight problem with C2 H5 OH.

Looking at the middle pages I notice that Simon Wilson, that well known communist has been elected President of NZUSA to represent purportedly 40,000 students! The Wellington Marxist Leninist organization will be pleased no doubt, and Merv and Rob will be pleased because they can claim that they are merely ignoring 'commie' stirrers when students groan about the new TSG.

How can a guy get elected to represent students through NZUSA, having been rejected by' a majority of voters at an Executive Election beats me. NZUSA must be bloody hard up. Perhaps it's time Victoria withdrew. Obviously there is no democracy in NZUSA as I am 100% sure that Victoria students are very unlikely to want him for National President if they don't want him for their own President.

A very sorry state of affairs when such cretins are allowed to represent students. Perhaps Mr Wilson and/or Chris Gosling would like to render us an explanation of this travesty of democracy — no doubt Wilson's contorted logic can cope. Yes...Mr Beach I demand that you print this letter and refer it to the President of NZUSA for comment. By the way I think Chris and Grant Liddell have done a good job this year.
