.... for men may come and men may go but the Executive goes on forever. Another chapter in the never-to-be-finished story of the Exec is about to unfold before your very eyes. Oh no! you may say, and with good reason too; but here it is anyway. The latest meeting took place Monday two weeks ago and discussed suprisingly little business, in suprisingly little time and in suprisingly little depth. Surprise. First, as usual, came the apologies and corrections to the minutes, some of which were quite significant. Take, for instance, page five of the minutes, where it was reported that Kevin Wright dissended'. Quite [unclear: untrue]. He stayed perfectly still, in a vertical direction at least. He did, however, move quite substantially to the right. Also where it was found that 'student' was spelt with a capital 'S'. Sign perhaps of a new respect for the inhabitants of the ivory tower? Sweet dreams.
The Exec. then considered two club affiliation applications from the Tonga-New Zealand Club and from the Architectural Club, who expressed a desire to be known by the name Piles. Both the Tonga-New Zealand Club and Piles were affiliated. I cannot report the conversation that ensued from this because it would contravene the Obscene Publications Act.
Then came the high spot of the meeting, suprisingly early in the programme. During Orientation, Cathsoc held a barn dance, which lost $163. Before the dance the Orientation Controller had verbally assured Cathsoc that the Orientation Committee would underwrite the dance. The Exec. therefore, while it had no legal responsibility, to underwrite Cathsoc, but had a strong moral responsibility. After hearing allegations that the barmen were pissed, that the Orientation Controller had gone outside her rights in agreeing to underwrite the dance, and that some miserly bastards had forged drink tickets, it was eventually agreed that VUWSA would [unclear: underrite] Cathsoc to the tune of $91, a figure somehow arrived at by financial wizard Mike Curtis.

P.S. One very important thing I missed: in order to park in the Wai-te-ata Road car park you will have to get a windscreen sticker form the Studass office. Tickets will cost $1 and you will have to prove that you are a student. Anybody parking there without a sticker will face the risk of being towed away.
