3. Why The Scheme Should Be Given A Trial

3. Why The Scheme Should Be Given A Trial.

1.—Because the subdivision of the College into clubs is the most natural subdivision that can be effected and hence a committee consisting of delegates from these clubs is the most democratic organisation possible.page 11
2.—Because being students of a university you should be progressive and be willing to give a new scheme a trial.
3.—Because the scheme provides an opportunity at least once a term for informed and constructive criticism of the Executive's activities.
4.—Because it would be unwise to divide the College into two camps just prior to tournament, trapping, and the extravaganza.
5.—Because the majority of the executive consisting of several students of ability and long experience in the extra-scholastic life of the college are behind the scheme. Students should consider this well as these students investigated the pros and cons to the last detail before deciding to support the innovation. Most of them are upon the verge of leaving College and have no axe to grind.
6.—Because similar schemes have proved their worth both in other parts of the world and also in this country.
Some examples of these are:—
  • The U.S.A. Senate.
  • The N.Z. Farmers' Union Executive.
  • The N.Z. Labour Party's Executive.
  • The N.Z. Post and Telegraph Association's Executive.
  • The N.Z. Tennis Association.

A similar system is used in the election of the committee of the executive of the Otago University.
