The Special General Meeting was requisitioned by last Wednesday's Student Representative Council (SRC) meeting, following a motion from Robert Lithgow and Mark Sainsbury.

Robert Lithgow was mainly concerned with doing something about the executive's dismissal of the office manager, Mrs Goodall (see Salient No. 1 1976). He spoke near the start of the meeting about his annoyance at the whole affair and the necessity of both finding out those responsible and drawing up a 'bill of rights' for office staff so that the situation didn't arise again.

'Will we put in the advertisement for the next office manager that the successful applicant has no job security nor any right of appeal? Or that their employer cannot be relied upon to discuss openly any tensions that may arise."

Steve Underwood and Anthony Ward spoke to Robert Lithgow's remarks but said they felt discussion should wait until the SGM.
