Orderly Exec. Meeting! — Student Union Building on the Way

Orderly Exec. Meeting!

Student Union Building on the Way

At the most orderly exec, meeting the President had ever attended matters of immediate and of long term interest were discussed. Proposals for early action include the raising of a Victory Loan Campaign within the next few weeks, along the lines of last year's effort Preliminary plans for Easter Tournament and advertising for Extrav. scripts were also on the agenda.

Most important of post-war plans for the College discussed was for the Students' Union Building and Dicky Daniell was also concerned with the demolition date, scheduled for 200 years from now. With peace in sight the building becomes a reality instead of an unattainable dream. Concrete details are under discussion and practical proposals pour in fast. Instead of spending their ninetieth birthdays at the opening ceremony students may visit the common common room while they still have something in common. Approximately £17,000 are still required to complete building costs. It was proposed to raffle the old gym to raise funds.

Important and practicable was the proposal to advocate a University course in Physical Education. The third year Training College Course is inadequate to meet the demands, and students spend two years on a training, may be irksome, on the chance of being chosen among very few. Pushing this plan seemed to be in line with our health scheme and with a long-felt need in the country.

Also discussed was the inaugurating of schools of Oriental Studies and Anthropology in our University.

Liaison members to clubs gave first reports on their findings. Although information they had received was not vital, it appears that most of the [unclear: plubs] are on the up-grade [unclear: otably] the Drama Club and Maths, and Physics, which are staging phenomenal revival.
