The usual SRC started off with the minutes of the last meeting. We were reliably informed by our most illustrious President that executive had affirmed the last SRC's decision to donate fifty dollars towards the expenses of the abortion campaign.

Moving on to reports, Gyles Beckford told us all about what Council had been doing recently. They have decided to rid themselves of all interest in Tarewa Lodge and are now looking for someone to take over their share in it. The next thing from council was about bursaries: they have given full support to the bursary campaign accepting Prof. Board Bursaries Committees report in full, and giving instructions for this report to be sent to the University Grants Committee.

Tony Ward then called for a report from the Union Management Committee - which Gyles gave. The cases of the four people who allegedly assaulted a member of Gay Liberation at a Women's Choice Club Wine and Cheese evening had been handed over the the Discipline Committee of Prof. Board as Union Management decided that their disciplinary powers were too limited.

It was then on to catering, where we found that the cafeteria had made a loss of $32,000 over the period up until the end of May, and that everyone who ate chicken was causing a loss at the rate of 47c piece. The ubiquitous Mr Ward then said that "students must take cognaissance of what happens in the cafeteria" and said that more reports on catering should be in Salient.

The next report was from Commerce Faculty where discussions about internal assessment have been going on between staff and student reps. Accy 211 and Accy 212 will be scrapped next year because of lack of staff and finance and Accy 101 will probably have a limited enrolment Student reps have been voicing disapproval over the proposed limitations in numbers and are to use their words "waiting for action".

Gyles then gave a report on the bursaries situation. Anyone interested in helping on the bursaries campaign will be very welcome in the activities room at any time. The final report was on the book-shop where a profit of $11,000 dollars had been made up until May.
