This is your friendly local scribe reporting on the latest in a series of excruciatingly boring meetings from an efficient if uninspiring Executive. Seriously, this meeting did concentrate on reasonably important matters, which were, in chronological order:

Professorial Board Report

A report on the latest Prof. Board meeting was presented by Tony Ward and John Roseveare. This meeting is being covered elsewhere in this issued (I think!).

Orientation Report

An orientation report was presented by Auntie Barbara Leishman. Because of the difficulties seen with the cabaret it was decided that it would be cancelled and that emphasis would be transferred to the Disco, which would be more popular and far cheaper.

Food Co—Op

Treasurer Mike Curtis told the Exec that although the Food Co-op debts (amounting to $1 200) would have to be written off, the 1975 food co-op would still attempt to pay these debts off.

Bad Debts

A large number of people and organizations with previously unassailable reputations have run up massive debts for stationery purchased on credit from the Studass office. While some of these groups are clearly on the bones of their arses there are others who are quite capable of paying their debts, and if this is not done in two weeks' time I will start publishing names. You have been warned.

EXEC Workroom

This is the room next door to the Studass Office whose function is, as the name suggests, to give Exec members a place to work uninterrupted. However the furniture in the room is so grotty, and there is so little clear space, that Exec members are forced to work in the Office. This situation being not in the least bit satisfactory for office efficiency, the Exec decided to refurnish the workroom to make it at least habitable.

Official Secrets Act

It was decided that policy on this important topic would be put off until the next SRC.

Catering

Somebody (I think it was Peter Aagaard) grumbled that food in the Caf was running out early — at 1.00 approx. The official excuse is that wastage tends to be too great if food supplies carry on until 4.00. The Exec decided they would prefer wasted food to non-existent food.

The Security Service

The Exec was told that the Vice-Chancellor has an agreement with VUWSA that no member of the SIS will be allowed to enrol at the University unless he gives a written undertaking not to pursue security activities on campus. If he were to be caught spying on VUW precincts he would be expelled immediately.

Publications Board

The Honorable Gyles Beckford has been elected as the Exec rep on the Pubs Board for 1975.
