Randall and Underwood Beaten

Now it was the turn of 'Item 6' to prise its way into the rapidly fogging minds of those still present. This was the election of 6 reps for the Union Management committee. Nominations were Peter Aagaard, who wanted to be the legal go between for the Union and the Association and Exec, Bernard Randall, who wanted facilities to be more accessible, Anne Dwyer, who as Cultural Affairs officer could represent the clubs. Kevin Swann, incumbent member who wants to continue and improve what we've got. Tony Briscoe, who thought he could represent student views better than it's being done at present; Steve Underwood, who knows the financial scene quite well, and thinks he would be of assistance at Council level. Robert spare-the-rod-etc. Lithgow, whose hobby horse' is discipline, and John Henderson, who was absent. Those elected were Peter Aagaard. Kevin Swann, Tony Briscoe, Robert Lithgow, John Henderson, and Anne Dwyer.

Next we had to elect a 4-person catering committee. The only three nominations were Rae Mazengarb, Tony Briscoe and Kevin Wright. Tony Ward who was in the chair at the time, moved that they be elected. Three or four people said 'aye' so they were. Enthusiasm was flagging fast as Ward tried to arouse interest in electing a Publications Board. John Ryall, Salient editor, briefly explained what the Board did and Rachel Scott. Derek Fikkers, Lionel Klee. Mike Freeman, Lindy Cassidy and Bob Drummond were elected (3 votes to 2, reputedly). Tony Ward then delivered the final death blow to the already unconscious meeting by declaring it closed.
