Neighbour's Cat Excretes on Little Girl's Push-Chair

Neighbour's Cat Excretes on Little Girl's Push-Chair.

Headline supplied by Truth Article by Rod Prosser. (Once again folks, this is the Exec Report).

The first thing of interest that emerged was that the University's Sports Council has lost a yacht (someone has stolen it, but the mounties are hot on the trail).

A bit later a new copy of a publication called New Argot materialised in Lisa Sack-sens hands(remember New Argot was given the chop in May?). It seems that Don Stedman (chairman) and Bruce Kirkland (director) of the Students' Arts Council were beaten about the ears at the last National Exec meeting for making this unconstitutional move.

The Students Association was made an offer by Shell Oil to make and stuff bean bags for a profit. It was felt that rather than the Students Association taking it on as an enterprise that a club should be formed to make bean bag chairs to supply to students for almost half the market price. There is still a chance if anyone is interested. See John Henderson about it.

There was a delegate from MSA at the meeting applying for the use of the Office counter for the sale of ball tickets for the Malaysian Day celebrations. But it was unanimously decided that such an action would be putting VUWSA's name behind an organisation which supports the Malaysian regime and so the infamous MSA again bites the dust.

Then an equally funny request was heard from a Mr O'Connor for the affiliation of the plank racing society. The aim of the club is to go around and rip down old houses and stamp all over the wood. But he assured the Exec that the club was not affiliated to any Martial Arts and that they would avoid trees.

Following that I went to sleep only to be woken by Mike Curtis crying "Don't get fucking liberal here!" and "Those liberals among you with a small 'I'. . ." I can't remember what he was talking about but I'm glad to see him resisting the clutches of liberalism himself.

Te Reo Maori were given $72 to send one or two delegates to Dunedin to voice their disapproval at Otago University's decision to delay the appointment of a lecturer of Maori for two years.

Mike Curtis emerged as the star of this week's show, by really showing his versatility at times when things looked like becoming boring. Altogether an entertaining, educational and enjoyable meeting.
