Executive

The Executive met on Monday, July 14th, to discuss "General Policy." The general disintegration in student activity in the last few years roused the Executive to take steps to coordinate V.U.C. into a social unity. Since the success of this programme depends us much on each student as on the Executive we are putting our plans before you.

The chief points raised at our meeting are covered in the following motions:—
1.That a Social Committee be inaugurated.
2.That the number of Social Committee be limited to seven members—one Executive member, one representative of Weir House, one of Victoria House, and three other persons to be elected at a meeting of all College Clubs.
3.That Mr. Cohen report upon the formation of a College Band.
4.That the Executive extends its co-operation to all members of the Staff.
5.That every effort be made to publicise Student Relief.

A word of explanation is perhaps necessary. The Social Committee will become the machinery for extending the social unity of the College—we feel that collaboration with the staff must be an essential part of this plan and that the Student Relief Fund should receive whatever financial benefit there may be.

At the same meeting the question of general student policy was discussed and the following motion was passed:—

"That the Executive regards it as a duty to uphold student liberties to the utmost."

Since the Executive has taken this stand it behoves the students to recognise their own responsibility.

It was also moved:—

"That 'Salient' be asked to report each meeting of the Executive and that the minutes of each meeting be attached to the Notice Board."

May we suggest that students use this new opportunity to criticise and direct Executive policy.
