Asked to go
Asked to go.
Max Willis had just lead a haka during the progress of the Annual General Meeting of the Students' Association, and, as the noise was subsiding, a voice was raised moving that Mr. Willis be asked to leave the meeting. This was eagerly seconded, and on being put to the meeting was carried unanimously.
Max was looking perplexed, but it was Roy Diederich, the chairman, who saved him. Said Roy: "It has been carried by the meeting that Mr. Willis be ' asked' to leave the meeting. Therefore I ask you Mr. Willis, will you leave the meeting?"
Max breathed a sigh of relief. "No, Mr. Chairman, I have a constitutional right to be present," he said, amidst laughter.
