Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 8, No. 4 April 18, 1945

Exec. Backs Meek's Nomination For Council

Exec. Backs Meek's Nomination For Council

The retirement of the Hon. Mr. Justice Smith leaves a vacancy on the VUC Council. Among the nominees is Ranald L. Meek, nominated by Mr. F. L. Coombs, and given the full support of the Exec.

The Court of Convocation, which is composed of all past graduates of the College, will elect one man to the onerous responsibility of membership on the Council. Ron Meek would be a good choice. He was at VUC from 1935-39 inclusive, graduating LL.M., B.A. He has written numerous extravo including this year's show, "Peter in Blunderland," is the author of a pamphlet, "Maori Problems Today," and, in conjunction with F. Ost, is working on a translation of Czech verse, to be published shortly. While at VUC Ron gained three college swimming blues and took an exceedingly active part in college activities. The students know Ron and knowing him support his nomination.

This is a by-election, but nominations are called for the triennial elections, and it is strongly urged that a further student candidate be nominated.
