Well, last Wednesday there was another SRC. No ..... SRC. Student Representative Council, blockheads. Union Hall, 12 noon, Wednesdays. You weren't there were you? In fact only about a hundred people were. The other 5,900, having paid their $37, apparently don't care how it's spent or just generally don't care about the policy of their Union. It's no good looking at your shoe laces like that. Rampant All-Consuming Apathy is what it is.

But I've got time on my hands so I'll tell you what happened anyway. If only to show you all the excitement you missed.

Lindy Cassidy opened the meeting with two important matters. Firstly, a brief background to the current crisis in NZUSA and a plea for All students to attend the crucial forum on this matter at 12 noon in the Union Hall on March 30th.

And secondly, news of the pathetic response to the approaching VUWSA Executive election resulting in only three nominations for the five vacant positions. Apathy strikes again. 1978 looks like a bad year. In view of this a motion was passed extending the deadline for nominations to March 30th. Want a job? Why don't you get into it?

Lindy then asked for ideas on publicity. How do we make students aware of the election? The only sensible idea came from David Murray who recommended hiring a skywriting plane. He also recommended pushing Andrew Tees out of said plane at an approxomate height of 22,000 ft. but I wouldn't say that was terribly sensible.

Then came reports. Lamorna Rogers, Women's Rights officer just returned from the Women's Abortion Rights Conference in Auckland put two motions, the first reading: That VUWSA in conjunction with other abortion and civil liberties groups, organise action against the present repressive abortion legislation on April 1st, at the opening of Parliament, and on Sept. 15. This was duly passed.

The second was That VUWSA believes that full child-care facilities are necessary to guarantee a woman's right to go to University and that the cost of creche facilities should be met by the University administration. This was passed after the word "woman" was amended to "parent", following an objection that the original wording was sexist.
