Girl of three Castrates Neighbour's Cat

Headline supplied by Truth. Article supplied by Rod Prosser. This is really just the Exec. Report.

The meeting began with a discussion on the NZSAC (Students' Arts Council). Bruce Kirkland was present and gave a good account of the problems which the arts council faces at present. His main objective lately has been to seek the causes of the lack of cultural activity at universities and to try and come up with ways to combat this. A few of the suggested alternatives are as follows:
1.A fully rationalised film circuit.
2.Election of an NZSAC rep. or activities officer to work alongside the Cultural Affairs officer on each campus.
3.A full-time, fully salaried appointment of an activities officer on each campus.
4.Conduct national promotions in public venues such as the town halls.

Although only six members of the Exec were present for most of the meeting there was a lot of fruitful discussion. There was the normal frivolity and informal breaks in concentration but only just enough to create a pleasant and well balanced working situation.

'Once I've passed this motion, I intend to make a press statement about it tomorrow'—Sacksen 'We bought him off'—Beckford and 'Oh fuck up'—Aagard were the life of the party. Not to mention 'with regard to'—Curtis who was instrumental in the Exec, taking over about $500 from the accounts of defunct clubs.

Then suddenly John Blincoe materialised (as he has done before in a time of crisis) and then our supreme commander in chief said, 'I'm going to adjourn this meeting while I go upstairs and see what the ... is going on'.

But once we had satisfied ourselves that nothing was going on apart from some small meeting with the opposition spokesman on finance we reconvened.

The following are the most significant events of the night:

The Exec has joined the association up with the Wellington Property Investors Association Inc.—formerly known as the Land lords Association. (Peasants unite!)

The Exec was informed about a rock concert that happened on Sunday night which no one knew about. (Apparently it was held as a fund raising effort. But the organisation concerned managed only to add $300 to their debts.)

Aagard moved a motion and then abstained once it was carried.

Curtis performed some sort of financial wizardry and Beckford reminisced for a moment and said 'He's sucked us again'.

Finally, and they swear the Young Nat Nats didn't influence their decision, they resolved 'That no student be allowed to organise a public political meeting which allows a political party rooms in the Union Building at no cost.'
