Salient: Victoria University Students' Newspaper. Vol. 24, No. 9. 1961

1961 Survey

1961 Survey

Sir,—So it's Exec. Elections again. What have Exec, done for us this year?

Orientation; run by a few, a reasonable success but lost its punch through fresher apathy.

Hercus brawl; lot of mud all round. Perhaps they could have done something constructive, changed the time of the presidential elections to the end of the year so the difficulty would not occur?

Little Congress. Something constructive. Lost some of its effect through student apathy.

Booze; they cut down the supply to all and sundry. After the performance at the Grads' Supper they could cut it down still further. It was the direct cause of a slur upon our reputation.

Capping. Activities were of a higher standard and on the whole well done. Procesh was a bit of a flop. The people in it were doing fine. Where were all the rest? That and Extrav. were partly defeated by student apathy and public apathy.

All the constructive things were done by a few on the Exec., the balance were example of Exec, apathy.

The new Executive should start from the word go.

Yours, etc.,

R.J.P.
