Club Functions.

Victoria is indeed blesed. Affiliated with the Students' Association are 30 clubs, each with its own little secretary and Committee, each tempting the student with dainty morsels to leave dull work behind him. One is tempted to compare this state of affairs with those long biblical pedigrees by which numerous characters trace their descent back to Adam and David. Victoria, with its 30 clubs, could rival most of these chapters of pedigrees. The result is a chaos of clashing functions that does the clubs themselves an infinite amount of harm. A few well-attended functions are certainly preferable to the almost daily meetings of a little coterie calling itself the such and such club.

At present the race to attract students is carried on by blazoning the notice board with gigantic posters and by filling the week with the maximum number of functions possible. As it will obviously be impossible for any of the committees to take a rational view of this matter, we suggest that the Exec, should exercise some control in an endeavour to control some of the more prolific.
