Chris Pottinger

After graduating B.A. this year, Chris Pottinger is doing English Honours. He has an Exec. term behind him and on the strength of his record in student activities has the necessary experience to make a most successful President. He has been associated with the Rugby Club in '48, '49, the Drama Club committee in '48, '49, '40. As an Exec-Member he was Gym. Controller and the fact that it is still standing must redound enormously to his credit. He was also leader of the VUC delegation to N.Z.U.S.A. Easter Tournament. The Procession for which he was Controller was the best in years. He is a supporter of International Student Co-operation particularly ISS, Student Congress, the Common Common Room, a new deal in the Cafeteria. The furtherance of the new Union Building will have top priority and if necessary a policy of retrenchment in the Association's finances to avoid the raising of fees. His record speaks for itself and his proposers have every confidence in his ability to be a worthy President.

Nominator: Tom Heath
