Not Perfect

"No executive can be perfect. We are not professional politicians and administrators. We are here to get our units and we have done what we considered to be in the best interests of the whole student body.

Student flats were going ahead. It was a fact that the executive had set up a select committee and recognised certain deficiencies in their constitution. They knew of better ways of doing things, hence the report. Was that lack of progression?

"I think I can make a point in favour of the status quo. There is a lot started and there is a lot reaching culmination within the next three months.

"I don't think an executive of inexperienced people can come in March of any academic year and run affairs which have already been started.

"Six months trial have gone and I am confident this executive has the ability to carry out its plans within the last six months.

"Some of the points made are good ones. But I don't think they justify a vote of no-confidence in the executive."
