Sports Want More
Sports Want More
In the past Sports Council's grant had been determined by the Executive at the beginning of each year (as was the Cultural Affairs grant). But Sports Council didn't believe that they were getting enough money, and didn't want their finances to be determined by the whims of a particular Executive.
So they moved that future allocation of the Students' Association fee should be as follows (the previous allocation is in parenthesis):
| 1. | $7.50 ($9.00) to the Students' Assoc. General account. |
| 2. | $10.25 ($8.00) to the Student Union Maintenance account. |
| 3. | $8.00 ($8.00) to the Student Union Building Fund. |
| 4. | $1.00 ($1.00) to the Studass Trust. |
| 5. | $2.25 ($2.25) to be paid into a general account administered by the Publication's Board. |
| 6. | $2.00 (Nil) to be paid into a general account to be administered by Sports Council. |
Many students were annoyed with the somewhat 'cavalerish attitude' adopted by proponents of the motion to the reduction in the general account. Overall, this reduction amounted to $9000, which could however have been reduced by omitting the superfluous budgetting of $5000 (Sports Council Grant) and Easter and Winter Tournaments ($1600). Thus the net loss to the General Account would be $2500.
