In 1973 the Springboks might come. To help to stop this the sports clubs at Vic must come out now against apartheid sport — any form. I don't ask for individuals to all agree but the least an affiliated club can do is to follow Student policy. This, I think, should be enforced to the degree of not paying levies out of the Sports Grant to any national body which supports apartheid, unless the Victoria club involved is making its position obvious at regional level.

As a cricket player I realize the great attractions of subsidised piss-ups, but students will not accept subsidising non-student hangovers. Too many non-students are still reaping the effects of student grants. The finances and the people using them of all sport clubs should be looked at very care fully. Non-students are still paying student rates to sports clubs as well as the great numbers of both students and non-students who do not pay subscriptions, this means that there are huge defecits in clubs accounts which are met by Studass grants, the point is that these grants are subsidizing the endless "wines and cheeses" and after match functions which sporting students seem to live for.

Sports clubs are run on large Studass grants. It is only sensible that they shoud serve the wishes of the students. Apartheid and subsidised piss are left-wing communist subersive measures to undermine the student control of student sport. If these are allowed to remain then the whole foundations of student sport will be threatened. Don't let the rot in, join the SS and vote Mallard now.
