I have been at Victoria for two years and during this time have participated in both campus and off-campus political affairs. At the moment I feel that this university is apathetic and lacks any real student spirit or involvement. Thus, if I am elected I will encourage more student participation (especially female) in social, political, and cultural activities. Some of my specific concerns would be:
(a)an appointment of watchdog committees to ensure that student workloads are kept to a reasonable
(b)continual lobbying of the University administration in order to liberalise and democratise the university as a whole, especially in connection with women' issues, e.g., extending and upgrading creche facilities.
(c)to urge a greater student liason with the female members of academic staff who have recently begun a campaign for a rise in status of women on campus, (recent investigations into women's status by the University Professorial Board revealed extremely low figures of female seniority in the various academic departments)
(d)representing democratic student opinions and decisions, e.g. on such important issues as the All Black Tour. As I have no supportive clique to consider I would be free to support genuine student opinion.

Finally I feel I have both the time and the enthusiasm to work hard in the interest of students as a whole and women in particular
