Christian Walk Out

Sir,—Criticism has been made that the Christians walked out of the S.G.M. when the Quiet Room issue arose. I am one of the Christians (including members of S.C.M., E.U. and C.S.G) who "walked out," not because I am a Christian, but because I am a student, and expect the Association to protect the rights of all its members.

No attempt had been made to give sufficient notice of the motion moved by Mr Lewis. Many would have been present had they been aware that the Quiet Room Issue would come up. Also the lateness of the hour and the general state of mind of those present at that time would not have permitted a fair consideration of the motion.

It Is unfortunate that most of those who "walked out" did not realise that the motion could (and should) have been ruled out on a point of order. Under the circumstances, the most appropriate action was to "walk out" and remove the quorum. These are the reasons for the exit of so many at the S.G.M. I am. etc.,

"Point of Order."
