Be Prepared

Candidate: Des Deacon

Nominator: illegible

Seconders: R. A. Herron and John Fernyhough.

Unprepared

"Illegible" apparently can't write because Salient received no "blurb." Everyone knows Des anyway.

David Davey wrote as follows: "Mitch is a fourth-year science student who has always taken an active interest in student affairs. In Extrav. '57 he was Dr. Danie Boy Craven.

Candidate: Don Brooker

Nominator: R. A. Herron

Seconder: Cherry Pointon and John Fernyhough.

Above

His qualifications are apparently the same for this position as for men's vice-president above.

Candidate: Des Deacon

Nominator: Still illegible

Seconders: R. A. Herron and John Fernyhough.

Remarkable

We would like to refer you the remarks under men's vice-president but "illegible" seems determined not to be helpful, but as we said, everyone knows Des.

Candidate: Doug Waite

Nominator: Zain Majeed

Seconders: Jane Fogg and Ahmed Bamadhaj.

"'Old Boy"

Zain has this to say: "Doug Waite is an old boy of Palmerston North Boys' High School; he is an arts student in his third and final year at varsity. He has seven units accredited to his degree and he is sitting Greek III, Philosophy II, Latin I. He has many contacts with the overseas students at the university.

"He has been a resident of the Baptist Hostel and also Weir House. In his first year he played rugby for varsity (third grade) and in his second year he played for junior second grade.

"His ability and his experience will be of advantage to him in a responsible position on the students' exec."

Candidate: John Allen

Nominator: John Hercus

Seconders: Brian Shaw and Armour Mitchell.

Sells Records

President elect Hercus says: "John intended to stand for the Capping Portfolio. He has had several years experience in all aspects of Capping activities, including Extrav for the past four years and distribution manager for Cappicade when record sales were obtained.

"If elected will try to correlate all capping activities, except Extrav under one committee . . . 30 capping chairman can know all that goes on . . . and prevent elementary mistakes. He would like to see a capping treasurer's position created on the committee as well as a treasurer on each subcommittee. In normal events one of these tyro treasurers would be appointed capping treasurer. Ho feels this system all the more necessary as there is about £2000 involved in Cappicade alone, and a treasurer who knows what he is doing, has had experience and has the interest and the time to know what is going on in each branch of capping is an absolute necessity.

"He has been a member of Tournament Organisation, Extrav, Cappicade, Drama Club committees and has gained experience in many branches of executive administration.

John has the knowledge and experience to do a good job."
