Hit! Pow! Zap!

In somewhat of an anti-climax, Victoria's slogan "The Cost of Crisis: Who Pays The Price?" was thrown out by the after dinner Election Plenary, and Auckland's "The Question Is..." was adopted. For some inexplicable reason, having slept on it for a night, delegates seemed a little less enthusiastic about the slogan during the remaining days of council.

This change was reflected at Budget Plenary on the last day of council. Auckland's proposal of "Zap Paks" - a seemingly integral part of "The Question Is..." campaign - was zapped.

Zap Paks is the name given to a set of coloured folders which would hold information on a variety of areas to be covered by the election campaign. They would cost $1 each to be produced and were intended to be distributed to people working in specific areas at constituent level, for example a Zap Pak on Women for the campus Women's Rights Officer. About four hundred Zap Paks were to be produced.

The whole idea of special folders was almost scrapped with the information to be presented in ordinary manilla folders, but instead delegates voted to have the Zap Paks sold to each campus at $1 each and they could then decide whether to sell or give them away to the appropriate people.

No doubt "The Question Is..." is such a snappy little slogan people will be queueing up at the Studass office to buy their Zap Pak.
