Where's the Money?

Where will the $2500 come from? Office salaries, superannuations, audit, and levies were all fixed. The answer, in the opinion of Association Secretary Peter Aagaard looks something like this:

$600	Donations to Pensioners' Association, Tenants' Protection Association, Vietnam Medical Aid Appeal etc.
$700	Stationery. This would allow agendas, minutes, and other vital material to be printed.
$700	Office expenses. This would cover repairs to the gestetener, typewriters, ribbons and stamps (if we had envelopes and paper).
$300	Orientation. No Orientation.
$200	Capping. With $200 from Capping we could even have a surplus of $100.

Peter Aagaard, John Henderson and Gyles Beckford tried to do something about this situation by calling another Special General Meeting on 16 October last year. That meeting passed a motion putting the Association fee up to $32.50 to be dished out in the following way:

$9.75	to the General Account
$8.00	to the Union Building Fund
$10.25	to the Union Maintenance Account
$1.00	to the Studass Trust.
$2.00	to the Publications Board Account

However, after consulting with the Association lawyers, it was decided that the second SGM was illegal because it was held out of term time and insufficient notice of the meeting had been given.
