SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1935. Volume 6. Number 10.

[election notice]

A special general meeting was called for last Friday night to alter the Constitution and allow the elections to be held on Tuesday, July 9, instead of a day in June.

At eight o'clock six people were present, and it was only after the Exec. had spent an energetic twenty minutes "whipping" that various dregs and sweepings were collected from odd corners to form the quorum.

Messrs. Sellers and Scotney, assisted by Messrs. Edgley and Wansborough, opened the meeting with objections, and the former pair put in some good voice-training for the Plunket Medal. Despite the interjections, Mr. McGhie read the minutes in the one and only McGhie tone.

Mr. Nankervis pointed out that an extension of time was necessary to enable the accounts to be finalised. The financial year ends on May 31, but Capping was in full swing at that time, and it was considered advisable to include all Capping expenditure in this year's accounts.

Mr. Wansborough thought that the Exec. could deal with the matter if they put their minds to it, and he accused them of laziness. Miss Hurley was noticed approaching Mr. Wansborough with an evil glint in her eye, but he stopped in time.

Miss Hursthouse said it was purely a matter of form, while Mr. Sellers said it was a direct attack on the Constitution. This was too much for Mr. Kennard, who moved that the motion be put. This was done and the motion was carried.
