Executive Letter.

Dear "Smad,"—

The following activities of my Executive may be of interest to your readers.

The details of the recent action in disaffiliating the Free Discussions Club will be well known to you. The matter was taken up by the Professorial Board, and because of his action in publishing a further issue of "Student," after having received notice of its prohibition by the Students' Association, a reprimand was administered to Mr. C. G. Watson before a full meeting of the Professorial Board.

It is fell by the Executive, however, that the Free Discussions Club should not be allowed to die out. The Executive has therefore taken the initiative in calling a meeting of students to elect a new committee and to adopt a Constitution which has been prepared by a sub-committee of the Executive.

A supplementary grant of £10 has been passed to enable the Tennis Club to erect a new volley board in the Gymnasium.

The Chairman of the Professorial Board has formally approved the amendments of the Students' Association Constitution, which were carried at the Annual General Meeting.

At its first meeting the new Executive appointed the following sub-committees:—

Finance Committee.—Mr. R. J. Nankervis, Miss J. M. Dunn, Messrs R. C. Bradshaw, D. M. Burns, and R. H. C. Wild.

Cafeteria Committee.—Miss J. Duncan and R. C. Bradshaw.

Miss J. M. Dunn was elected to the position of V.U.C. Corresponding Member of the N.Z. National Union of Students, the vacancy being caused by the resignation of Mr. R. E. Diederich.

The Executive is again offering prizes of three guineas each for the three revues chosen for the 1934 Capping Revue.

At its second meeting on the 14th inst., the following appointments were made:—

Assistant Treasurer.—L. O. Desborough.

Tournament Delegates.—Messrs R, E. Diederich and D. M. Burns.

I am, etc.,

D. M. Burns,

Hon. Secretary. V.U.C.S.A.
