Fee Exemptions

Still smiling approvingly at the success of his diversion, Gyles presented applications for exemption from Students' Association fees. 'I have here 2½ typed letters, a cheque for $15 and newspaper clipping of the last executive meeting.'

Students' Association policy says that the executive can only exempt students from paying studass fees in cases of severe financial hardship. Therefore a request from Professor Young of the Industrial Relations Centre asking for exemptions for his students (who only attend the university for six weeks of the year) was not accepted.

The other 1½ requests were dealt with - one was exempted and the other was not. Anthony Ward suggested that there be an investigation into the whole exemption question. He thought it should be discussed at the Annual General Meeting after reports on the situation at other universities had been considered.
