Salient: Victoria University of Wellington Students' Newspaper. Vol. 32, No. 9. 1969.

Half-holiday for game

Half-holiday for game

The Executive of the Students' Association is to approach the University Administration with a view to obtaining a holiday on the occasion of the annual Rugby match between the Spartacist Club and the Socialist Club. This direction was passed overwhelmingly at the SGM last week.

A constitutional motion was also passed.

It read:

That Part 1, Section 3 (2) of the VUWSA Constitution be amended by inserting the word "office" between the words "ten" and "days".

A motion that in line with NZUSA policy on international sport it be obligatory for all affiliated clubs in their public statements and in their participation in policy making in the national sporting bodies to which they are affiliated to state this policy and actively promote it was lost.

A motion of no-confidence in Roger Wilde as Editor of Salient was also defeated.

The last motion of the evening was an attempt to disassociate VUWSA from NZUSA policy an international sport and support the New Zealand Rugby Union over the 1970 tour.

After little debate, the motion was put and defeated 80—61.
