No Success Without Plebs

No Success Without Plebs

(Our Christchurch Correspondent)

Capping week this year will be a success provided there is active participation from all students for the two most important events, Procesh and Charity Collection. This year it is in aid of the Y.W.C.A. and the Y.M.C.A.

Lectures have been stopped in order that the two may be more successful. Students are therefore urged to take part even if only for an hour with a collection box.

Registrations for floats are still coming in but many more are needed. Controller Mike Fay will give you the gen.

Charity collections will not be a success and in fact will be a disgrace to the Students' Association if we don't get more collectors. The response has been disappointing so far. Anyone who may want to help should leave their name and times available at the Studass Office or contact John Langford through the same office.

The Miss Vic contest, in the hands of John Kirkby, is attrans entries of a very high standard. All finalists will receive a free ticket to the Capping Ball plus an invitation to an exclusive cocktail party before the ball.

Clubs sponsoring entrants will also receive a prize (provided they sponsor the winner).

Of course the winers will receive valuable prizes.

A bicycle race will take place at the same time as Procesh. Unfortunately entries have closed for this, except for females. Bring your own bike, but see Mike Fay first.

Prue Meyer is organising a party for orphans on this coming weekend, which should be quite good value for those who go.

A drinking horn has yet to find a venue, but all faculties are advised in mass together their best collection of inebriates, drunkards, etc., for this event.

Capping Ball tickets are $6 double and can be ordered from the Students' Association Office.

Free tickets will be given to those who collect the most in Charity collections and to those who are the Best dressed-up.

The major dates are Thursday, 9th May: Friday, 10th May, when Procesh and Charity Collections, and Capping Ball respectively will be held.
