Woman Vice President_____________________________

The incumbent Women's Vice-President, Lesley Jacobs, is standing for re-election. An independent candidate, Lesley is on the Rat ticket and the Law Faculty ticket.

A student representative on the University Council, she is also on Student Union Management Committee, is Secretary of the Women's Liberation Front, President of the Daughters of the Anarchist Revolution, and is a candidate member of the Sparticist League.

Student Welfare is Lesley's main concern (she is on the Council's Welfare Committee next year), and she endorses Rat's policy on installing a condomat in the Men's Toilets. A student Pharmacy is a possible addition to the Student Welfare Service-its primary function will be dispensing contraceptives. Lesley will work for the initiation of this service as soon as possible. This is only one of the areas in which Lesley is interested.

For an experienced, competent, and efficient Women's Vice-President (Denis says so) vote for Lesley Jacobs, the all encompassing candidate.

I am a third-year science student whose main subjects are Maths and Psychology. I take part in a wide range of student activity, for example, my conscience demands I march against Vietnam and anti-Tour-I also enjoy Arts Festival and compete at Tournament (two Victoria blues).

I demonstrate and will continue to do so because it is the only method I have to express my opinion. However, for some time now demonstrators have been doing nothing to further their cause. I am against violence, and the police will always have the advantage there. Instead the public should be educated so prejudice against students breaks down. This is more than just Public Relations. Students have progressive ideas and good reasons for them as they are better informed than the public, and are not in a 'security-at-all-costs' rut. More publicity should be given to our thoughts, and the reasons why, with supporting references. The public must be made to respect educated opinion.

Anti-pollution campaigning and practical charity help are other mature activities.

Also more shop facilities should be available. I'm sick of wasting time buying groceries off-campus.

Icrease cultural grants.

My policy complements Mr Pope's.

Sitting on the verandah, sunshine, blue sky and darts in trees, Jane rushes in and says "I'm going for Women's Vice, why don't you?" And I thought "Why don't I?" The momentous, earth-shaking decision was reached. Then I thought of p. 120 of Puckoon, always a thought that occurs at times like this. Then I thought, what sort of fool would elect you anyhow? And scanning the dear ol' common room I saw lots of sub-standard fools wiating to vote for a fool who would offer refunds on used biros. Another thought struck; you foolish fool, you don't want power-gets in the way of influencing people. Thought this thought totally just, still do. So here I am, contesting a position which seems to have no purpose except ceremonial, and I don't want power. Why then you may ask? Because I think I've got this hang-up about helping people, which gets in the way of helping me. I don't know whether you should vote for me, I'm not sure I'd vote for me, I'm not sure I will vote for me. But, to quot Eugene McCarthy (not too prophetically I hope) "If I do get in it'll be fun."
