Some 250 students were in the Union Hall at the beginning of SRC at noon on Wednesday - by the end of the meeting at 2.10 pm numbers had dropped to about 50, mostly uninterested people.

After minutes and matters arising, the meeting proper got underway with reports from Association executive members. Neil Gray told us that the V.U.W T-shirts would not be arriving for a fortnight. Our President, Lindy Cassidy apologised in advance for the length of her report and proceeded to give a very lengthy report in which she mentioned:
  • The Overseas Students Congress where N.Z. and overseas students come together (!). This year Victoria is the host campus and the Congress is to be at the Akatarawa Camp 5-8 May.
  • The assessment campaign is aiming to get one student rep from each class.
  • The representatives from the Association had gone to see a City Council committee over the proposals to close Mount Street. They did not see much hope of stopping the action now, but hoped to stall such action by making legal objections.
