Disciplinary action

Disciplinary action

A special meeting of the Student Union Management Committee next Monday will consider the conduct of a student, Peter Barker, at the first Graduates' Ball on-6 May.

The Students' Association has alleged that Barker was a member of a group of three persons who: (i) gatecrashed the Ball by climbing through a window; (ii) brought kerosene into the Building and one of whom lit the kerosene; and (iii) "showed the greatest reluctance" to leave the Ball when asked to do so. (Barker is named specifically as having initially refused to leave the Ball).

In his letter to Barker, the Managing Secretary advises that "It would appear from information I have been given by the Students' Association that the Management Committee may wish to take disciplinary action against you."
