Correction
I Feel it incumbent upon me to point out one of the mistakes on the front page of Salient 4.
". . . Helen McGrath, who previously voted for the motion, and who was the original seconder, voted against the motion.
"This was a contravention of the constitution which states that nobody who seconds a motion can vote against it."
This statement is erroneous. There is no provision to this effect in the Constitution of the Victoria University of Wellington Students' Association, which I assume is the constitution to which you refer, Neither is any distinction drawn between what is sometimes called a "pro forma" seconding and an ordinary seconding of a motion, Therefore there is nothing to prevent the seconder of a motion voting against it.
