Salient. Official Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 41 No. 1. February 27 1978

[Introduction]

The National Executive of NZUSA is made up of all the constituent (students association) presidents and the elected national officers. It meets about half a dozen times a year and is responsible for overseeing the running of the Association, but cannot make policy. Each president and each officer has one vote. The first meeting of 1978 was held at Victoria on 18th February.

NZUSA faces a crisis this year. Both Canterbury and Lincoln have served notice of motion to withdraw. To date very little has been done to keep them in. Certainly the national officers have given the matter a great deal of thought, but they, like everybody else, are short on answers. The problem has been compounded by the difficulty in finding out just why the two campuses want to leave. Not surprisingly, it cast a great shadow over the meeting and lots of nasty business was afoot. We'll get back to this.

Business for the day included: Bastion Point, holiday employment, a recent visit to Les Gandar and Australia, NZUSA publications, STB finance worries, ISIC abuse, the SIS campaign, James Movick, bursaries, International Women's Day activities, and the Overseas Students campaign for women in the Third World.
