Third year, full-time law student. Attended Rongotai College where was a present in 1962, doing a science course. At University he has completed Maths, Economics, English and 6 law units. A member of Unity Theatre and Debating Society. Secretary of V.U.W.D.S., second in Plunket Medal, member of team winning Capt. Lyons memorial shield, reserve for N.S.

Policy:

1	Try much harder to get interesting downtown people up to V.U.W. (especially for short lunch hour stands).
2	Try and get co operation from all cultural clubs so that they co-ordinate activities, don't clash, and have much more information given in advance. V.U.W. should be the cultutal centre of the city.
3	Investigate allocations of memorial theatre - while all worthwhile productions from downtown should be encouraged the S.U.B. is basically for students and should be available for clubs.
4	Institute a scheme whereby clubs are encouraged to institute worthwhile evenings, by having special grants to cover the cost of one particular venture (eg supper costs for a discussion or production costs for a drama production, or free use of the theatre).

As a member of executive I pledge myself to fight for better student conditions. I believe that all matters in which we take part should be organised carefully and responsibly, and that we should not be frightened of criticism. I believe that a University's function is to be the centre of betterment and appraisal in our community, and will strongly appose any attempt to restrict Executive to University affairs only in its discussions. I shall try and implement a better liason with the staff so that they know where we stand enabling us to get their help. After our stand on the petition and the public curiosity having being aroused, now is the vital time to support N.Z.U.S.A. in its attempts to fight. We must have strenth, not talk of saving £1,000 in subscriptions or petty power politics. The testing time is now. I particularly want Executive to go the people, as was done during the boycott time, with representatives speaking to Wharfies.

Ross Jamieson is a third year BA student, including Medical Intermediate within degree, majoring this year in Psychology. Member of Public Relatione, Drama and Rowing committee. One of 1961 Tour of Schools delegates.

Present Arts Festival Drama Controller. Acting experience in productions for Varsity, Unity Theatre and Downstage. Rowed in V.U.W. eight at Tournament, and is currently playing Rugby for the University Club. Has a wide interest in reading and writting poetry, classical music, Jazz - plays the piano for amusement. Holds an assistantship in the Psychology Department.

Although I hold fixed views regarding the poor aesthetic standard evident, I am open minded to any syggestions as to increasing the cultural tone of the University. It seems paradoxical for a University situated in the crux of cultural activity in NZ that no real effort has been made to exploit local talent.

If elected I will launch a concentrated campaign for the purchase of paintings, murals, and sculpture for enhancing the abominably functional interiors of our buildings - utilising funds set aside for the purpose.

Will iniate through the sub-committee invitations for lunch time talks, recitals and readings from visiting and local artists, poets, muscians, authors and overseas entertainers. Encourage students from different nationalities to air and swap viewpoints in the theatre, and likewise at Congress.

Invite students and local artists to exhibit work in the activities room, such as pottery, photogrpahy, art etc.

Screen a large range or cultural documentaries obtainable from the various legations, in the lunch hour. Also grant support to various non-political cultural publications.

Through this feasible policy of action, the firt step would be towards lessening the science/humanity rift, and generally elevating the cultural tone of the Campus.

As a radical he has also been associated with numerous political groups, including the Socialist Club and the Society for Student Rights. His main interests one films, classical music, genealogy, heraldry and political activity of all kinds He demands an immediate reconvening of the 1964 Cultural Affairs Committee which seems to have gone underground for the last year. He would like to see closer contacts between various cultural societies and intends to make a thorough investigation into the crippling charges incurred by Stud. Ass. societies when using S.U.B. facilities. In the field of general student activity he would like to see more outspoken comment on National and International affairs. He is particularly concerned about student apathy and holds no brief with those who feel that students should stick to their books and leave the affairs of the world to professionals".

He hopes that there is still a chance that the Student body may become a potent force in society.

A closer liason between all cultural clubs and societies. Visits away from the Campus by cultural clubs and societies, especially to Secondary schools.
