Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25, No. 5. 1962.

Presidential Nominees — William Dwyer

Presidential Nominees

William Dwyer

If elected President of the Students Association Bill Dwyer will continue to combat all authoritarian tendencies in the Association. The ideal to be aimed at is full participation by all students in the affairs which concern them. To this end monthly meetings of the Association shall be held. The General Meeting, not the Executive, shall be responsible for the activities of the students. Work carried out by committees shall be purely in a delegated capacity—serving the wishes of the membership.

This candidature is being advanced principally because the Association has been so poorly represented in recent years in all the matters of concern to it. On the issue of investigation of students' personal records the attitude has been one of equivocation. On the issue of increased fees, indifference has been mixed with a blatant acceptance. This attack on the principle of free education has not ended. A student's representative, on the Council in particular, to fight these issues is an urgent necessity. This candidate will not fail to act on all such matters in the Students' interest. But he is pledged never to act from a position of authority. As a delegate carrying out the will of the Association his motto shall be "To Serve".
