[unclear: Inder] Fire

[unclear: letter] has been written in response to our [unclear: ing], president's letter in Salient 23 April, 79. [unclear: the] three pages of letters)

[unclear: is] letter he attacks with boring regularity, which he has labelled Mao and or Trot. He, better, calls them "selfish selected [unclear: minori-th] "not exactly majority viewpoints". [unclear: er] when I looked back at my last years and using my pass in Maths 115 I see that Trot candidates pulled in more votes than own President Mr Tees.

[unclear: ee], during the run up to the last years [unclear: elec-lumed] that he, Tees, was more able to [unclear: repre-] "average student" than any other candi - [unclear: ung] my Maths 115, I worked out that the of any group is at most one member of the group of people that is.) Mr Tees almost [unclear: Id] this aim. He got only 9% of the eligible [unclear: o] vote for him.

[unclear: ever] as he polled the highest number of [unclear: re] any one candidate he took his place as President As President it was and is his [unclear: lirotect] student rights. VUWSA is a [unclear: de-c] organisation and as such the majority [unclear: If] the majority want VUWSA to have a [unclear: MI] abortion or some overseas activity or [unclear: hing] they wish, so-be-it. It is not up to [unclear: ident] to try to prevent it. Some cynics, Mr [unclear: L] included, may say that SRC is not an [unclear: ade-ay] of getting majority student views. [unclear: How-C] is open to all students, all students may their views, and all students may vote. Mr [unclear: huld] like a small group of elected men and to decide policy. This way students vote year not nine or ten times every two weeks. [unclear: y] students lose the basic right of freedom [unclear: h] as NZ as a whole has already done.

[unclear: rerfore] submit that the actions taken by [unclear: sident] at the ACM were anti-student, and [unclear: Lttack] on student rights. In his letter, Tees was elected to represent true student views." not done this. And so I call on him to re-constitution permitting to be impeached Not following VUWSA policy and 2) At-the basic student rights he was elected to
