The Hello Sailor Concert

Recently I attended the Hello Sailor concert organised by the Progressive Students Alliance.

Due to the numbers attending not being and [unclear: ficient] to break even or make a profit, the good [unclear: ok] Students Association is coughing up for the loss. Well! that's bloody nice I thought. If you make a profit you get to keep it, if you lose the Students Association will pay. Sounded almost foolproof to me and one helluva good way of [unclear: ting] rid of part of the $43 that I parted with [unclear: lier] in the year.

I have since learned that sanity has [unclear: prevaf] The executive (after some debate!) have [unclear: detfl] to discontinue acting as guarantor for [unclear: aff] clubs etc in future, for similar occasions.

However the bad news is that the PSA is apparently running up quite a nice total, [unclear: thank] in ordering refreshment etc, through the [unclear: Stu] Association, for more functions that [unclear: lit] is [unclear: as] ting itself with.

The question is, how can a club who [unclear: pr] organised and lost money on a top attraction [unclear: say] as Hello Sailor be allowed to continue [unclear: to] the associations funds, seemingly ad infinitum rely they can't hope to make enough money [unclear: to] ver their costs in future.

The answer is that a strict credit limit should be imposed by Exec on all clubs, relative to their size of membership, and requirements. This [unclear: limit] should not be exceeded.

If the PSA thinks that it is working in the [unclear: fl] rests of students by creating future bad debts [unclear: for] the association in order to further their [unclear: po] fantasies, then it is high time for Mr Tees and [unclear: co] to call a halt to the progress.
