Salient. Official Newspaper of the Victoria University Students' Association. Vol 44 No. 11. June 2 1981

[Introduction]

"The Question Is..." - this is the stunningly provocative title of NZUSA's campaign leading up to the general elections this year.

The title, presented by Auckland's delegation, instantly filled the meeting with startling enthusiasm and answered all prayers for a gimmicky, universally acceptable slogan.

It was presented at Election Plenary on the third day of May Council after several hours of full and frank discussions both there and in commissions. Delegates were looking for a title for an umbrella campaign about students in the elections.

The campaign is designed to give context to the work that is already being done by NZUSA and its constituents rather than generate more work, Research Officer, Ian Powell assured the meeting.

Despite a comment from one Otago delegate to the effect that National Office was too busy to be socially progressive, delegates believed that NZUSA should get involved in the general elections.
