Michael J. Moriarty

Michael was a law student studying for a B.A./LL.B. He has since suspended his law studies to complete a B.A. in Political Science and History this year. Incidentally, he turns 21 on Capping Day. Having been both full-time and part-time at Victoria, Michael is well acquainted with the needs and interests of both categories of students.

Last year Michael was the Salient Chief Reporter, and he was also the Publications Officer of the New Zealand University Student Press Council As secretary of the Association in the last year, Michael has amply shown his organising ability and a capacity for solid conscientious work. The position of secretary is unequalled as a job which can provide experience and full knowledge of the Association's activities. The secretary is on nearly all sub-committees and if not he is always associated with the background administration.

Michael has now attended two New Zealand University Students' Association Council Meetings which are held twice yearly, and he is thus well aware of activities at the National level Like any normal minded student, Michael is opposed to the unfair consequences of the recent increase in University fees, and through his experience with the Association he has the knowledge and the contacts to effectively do something about it.
