Some notes on the meeting of Monday last week. This was probably the shortest regular meeting of the year, lasting only two hours.

Discussion of the Canterbury University Students' Association action in approving in principle the installation of contraceptive-vending machines resulted in a decision to encourage discussion on contraceptives and illegitimacy. There is a possibility of a series of lectures early next year. The executive has asked Canterbury University Students' Association to keep them informed on developments.

The suggestions of Margaret Bryson, next year's Secretary of the Students' Association, that there be provision in the extensions to the Student Union Building for a sick room was discussed. Margaret said there was nowhere to lie down in the Student Health Service's rooms.

The Executive decided to send a letter to the Speaker of the House of Representatives regarding the use of loudhailer systems in the grounds of Parliament. The speaker does not allow the use of loudhailers in the grounds at present. This makes crowd control and speech-making difficult.

The Executive congratulated the organisers of the protest against Russian action in Czechoslovakia.

A bill for £7 it to be paid for cartage of a roll of paper from Salamanca Road to the Central Police Station. It appears the paper escaped from the University about capping time. A letter will accompany the cheque disclaiming responsibility.

Gerard Guthrie, the International Affairs Officer, thanked staff and students who contributed to the Biafra Appeal. $165 was received.
