Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 15, No. 12. July 3, 1952
[Introduction]
The Fifty-Fourth A.G.M. of the Students' Association was held recently. Few people will know this if one can judge by the attendance. However, there was a quorum and those who were there stuck doggedly at it until nearly midnight. One noticeable feature of the night was the sparse number of new speakers. There was a tune when a motion mentioning the I.U.S. would have brought dozens of Charter Society members to their feet in righteous indignation, and twice that number of Soc. Club members eager to do their best by the Kremlin. On Tuesday night we saw the few tottering, tattered embers of the glory that was 1948 flare dully and gently subside. We have Not affiliated with I.U.S.
The minutes were taken as read, and a question raised as to whether the constitution should be printed this was left to the incoming Executive. A lamentable oversight in that J. F. D. Patterson had not been credited with part-authorship of an Extrav. script in the annual report was remedied and the President (Mr. D. B. Horsley) spoke on various matters connected with the report which as usual made interesting reading. He mentioned the fact that although the dates of the forthcoming Winter Tournament were satisfactory to the other colleges, this was not the case with Vic. whose holidays fell later.
Although it would be Impossible that the dates could be altered an inquiry was to be made to determine the number of college clubs adversely affected. The question of the Medical School entrance age (which was publicised in the last "Salient") was touched upon. In special eases the council could probably secure admittance for any person who so desired.
