[unclear: cations] Officer pours out [unclear: art]

[unclear: as] prompted to write this letter as a [unclear: of] thinking about that phrase often used [unclear: lent'] in criticism of Exec members (par-[unclear: y] myself > "Why don't you do [unclear: some-] Now the obvious answer to this is do you want me to do ?' which under-[unclear: orollary] of the original question ; what really means is "why dont you [unclear: a] charismatic leadership with active [unclear: ots] orientated political campaigns ? "

answer this question It is helpful to the roles of the executive into [unclear: ad mini -] and policy making/campaign leading. [unclear: ou] realise that the Executive only has [unclear: y] in matters of finance and that all policy [unclear: ns] are theoretically made by SRC you will [unclear: a] in theory Exec is totally an administrative [unclear: hat] bears a relationship to SRC which [unclear: ar] to the relationship between the of Lords and the House of Commons land.

[unclear: As] (somewhat Inflated) image is, however, [unclear: pful] if one thinks of the historical [unclear: pment] of the present situation and that, originally, all policy decisions were [unclear: y] the House of Lords whereas now it is [unclear: a] rubber stamp body. I believe one can [unclear: start] of a trend in the role of indication of this trend is the greatly [unclear: ed] role of SRC officers. More and [unclear: is] they who do the groundwork for campaigns and they who try and involve roots' students while Exec simply does ministrative shit-work and keeps the [unclear: its] Association well oiled financially and administratively.

[unclear: d] as an Exec member I know the kind of [unclear: re] are expected to do in our capacity as Exec [unclear: rs] is always on the lines of organisational [unclear: nce] — selling SASRAC tickets, helping [unclear: the] meetings, seeing bills are paid and things [unclear: ed] when broken down.

[unclear: tly] this is intended as a statement of [unclear: roarh] to student politics. I view my [unclear: a] simply as a job and not as a tabernacle [unclear: hich] to spout on every available subject [unclear: w] how much work I am doing. (If I gave [unclear: minute] report at each Exec meeting you stop giving me bad write-ups [unclear: ent]) You expect us to be charismatic [unclear: s] when ail we are are very poorly paid [unclear: crats]. Now if you think that is simply [unclear: tification] I think you should closely [unclear: he] the present trend described in SRC-[unclear: elationship]. I don't believe democratic rep-[unclear: ition] can be forced from outside (by but must be allowed to grow from within on the foundation provided by the [unclear: ratic] structure.

[unclear: The] other reason for writing this was to [unclear: age] debate on the reason for the structure [unclear: lent] politics, particularly the relationship [unclear: en] administrative and decision making [unclear: ns]. I look forward to comments, and [unclear: rse], criticisms.
