Constituent Reports

The battered Blincoe was very eager to move on to constituent reports. Waikato president John Fry led the way with news of the competion of working drawings for WUSA's new union building and that they now had a full executive (which seems to some sort of record for Waikato!).

Bob Bucknall (Lincoln) also reported a full executive and the arrival on the streets of their "annual literary achievement" (Ram).

Massey president Douglas Stewart seems to have hit constitutional problems, having delayed the Annual General Meeting 15 days. He said that there had been "a bit a backstabbing" going on at Massey but it seems this is nothing new to student politics judging from Auckland president Mike Walker s chuckle.

Gyles Beckford was next on the list, commenting very optimistically on happenings around Victoria. He outlined the Goodall Affair, amazed other presidents by rave reports on the cafetaria, and gave an up-to-date description of the bursaries situation.

He was followed by National Executive funny man A1 Broad (Otago) Otago has just filled two more executive positions, and so now dear old A1 (bless his democratic heart) is only saddled with the portfolios of sports, finance and education, as well as trying to be president.

Don Leonardo (Canterbury) and Mike Walker (Auckland) finished off the reports. Auckland now has a roll of 10,000 and a 1975 cafetaria loss of $25,000, while Canterbury has a roll of 7000 and the possibility of a very large libel suit coming up.
