Executive Meeting

Among correspondence dealt with was a letter from Canterbury College on vacation work. This was compiled by the C.U.C. Council and Students' Association, and is a valuable piece of work. A sub-committee has been set up by the Executive to look into vacation employment, consisting of Cecil Crompton. Graham Edgar, and John Walton.

Correspondence has been received from the British N.U.S. on a projected students' conferance. The conference is designed as being preliminary to a world conference, and is intended to include representatives at least from all the British Commonwealth. As the date is as yet unsettled the V.U.C. Executive decided on Cecil Crompton's motion to send a remit to the N.Z. U.S.A. annual general meeting stressing the importance of such a conference to us, and the desirability of participating in it.

The finance committee, which as a sub-committee to the Executive controls club grants, was appointed—Jack Barr, Dick Steele, Ian McDowell, Max Eichelbaum and Marc Poole.

N.Z.U.S.A. has requested V.U.C. for any remits they favour. Besides the one on the N.U.S. Conference, Mr. McDowell, seconded by Mr. Dantell. proposed that power be given to N.Z.U.S.A. to grant blues on a reduced scale as opposed to present war-ruling, which does not allow blues to be awarded In war-time since 1942. It was also suggested that the N.Z.U.S.A. might find it possible to reduce expenditure by using the V.U.C. Exec. room. Delegates were asked to look into this matter. Delegates from V.U.C. are Ian McDowell and Cecil Crompton.

General business included a suggestion that lighting in the library and in the passage by the notice board might be improved. The sub-committee to inquire into the running of the cafeteria reported on fine co-operation from staff and committee and improvements and suggestions. The debating club asked for approval of the Joynt Scroll team and for grants towards travelling costs.
