Tourney Titbits
Victoria came fourth at Easter Tourney, behind all the biggies. "Do we usually do well at sport?" queried Cassidy:
"We would have won last year if we'd been allowed to count up the points the way we wanted to," replied Thrush. But apparently we do have the record for the wooden spoon.
(One little piece of information that didn't come out at the meeting was the conduct of one of our team captains (who had better remain nameless). Seems this chap thought it would be a jolly sporting idea to flood one of the hostels. Not content with that he tried to flood the Canterbury Union's lovely ballroom and for an encore was going to convert a car. That's when he was stopped. Someone else had got there before him and dropped out the gearbox.)
Back to the meeting. Exec decided that the little room on the middle floor of the Union building (which SRC ruled some weeks ago would be the exclusive realm of SRC officers) is now to be the exclusive domain of the SRC officers. Shows you how many exec members listen at SRC. Clubs are to be given the little room on the top floor, and everyone is to get their own locker. Whoopee-do.
Thrush seems to think that SRC officers shouldn't complain even if they can't swing a mouse by its tail in the confined space, they've got their own telephone haven't they? The bookshop, according to Underwood, is going into the large room above the theatre. What large room? The one you can see from the Olympic swimming pool on the city side of the library of course, but more of that later.
Kevin Callinicos introduced the subject of sweatshirts (long sleeved variety). He wanted the association to invest in 250 at a cost of $10.40 each. When it was pointed out that only 100 T-shirts had been sold it was decided to lower the order to 100. They will retail to students at $12 each, that sum being the Cassidy compromise between Underwood's high price insurance against loss and Thrush's low price genuine service to students (such a wonderful chap).
