Exec denies doormen wages

At a meeting on 17 November, the Executive declined to pay doormen at the Heart Beat Ball wages which the doormen claimed were owing to them. The doormen at the Ball, all of them students, were J. G. Swan, H.M. Fay, R.A. Davies, J.C. Welch and N.C. Goldie.

The Executive was told that the doormen had apparently been drunk, were seen throwing glasses and were involved in an assault on a waitress. There was also some doubt as to whether all funds received at the door had been passed on to the organisers of the Ball.
