Murray Boldt, aged 21, is a fourth year student studying for his honours degree in physics. A past holder of a Junior Scholarship he now holds three scholarships, one being a University Senior Scholarship. Head prefect and Dux of palmerston North Boys High School. At V.U.W. his administrative career includes position in the Maths and Physics Soc. (President '65), Athletic Club (Captain '64-'65), Science Clubs Committee Sports Committee, Tournament Committee ('65) and Executive, (Sports Officer 1965). He is a V.U.W. Blue for athletics, a member of the Senior 'B' rugby team, and a keen chess and squash player.

Policy: My policy as Vice President of V.U.W.S.A. would be a firm endeavour to administer the position as I interpret it in the total structure of the Students Association. The Executive exists to i) administer the internal affairs of the Students Assoc, and ii) to represent and act on behalf of the Association as a body. Our present portfolio system leaves one member of executive responsible for each of the main activities of the Association. Vice Presidents are, then, the only people free to assist the President in his many duties, and at the same time exercise a general supervision over the sub committees and Association policy. My experience as a member of Executive and various committees should greatly assist me in this duty. I believe that in the past Executive has failed in its duty to act in the interests of the student body - indeed, it may be accused of acting in spite of the interests of the students using the excuse that the popular student opinion is unknown. In an endeavour to obtain and represent what I believe is the popular opinion, particularly in International affairs, a wider representation of Student views must be encouraged on Executive sub-committees. For this reason, I applaud the proposed establishment of an Arts Council representing ell Cultural Clubs, the Sports Club already having their Sports Council. The following points I would endeavour to act upon in the forthcoming year:

1	Continue in strongest pursuit of improved student conditions, so far described as "Student Action"
2	Encourage greater public Relations use of our considerable sporting and cultura1 achievements.
3	An investigation of the present unsatisfactory audit and grant system.
4	Bring to Capping Week a greater and more [unclear: serious] attempt to organise a full and attractive week.

Men's Vice-President

Fourth-year full-time commerce student. Currently Public Relations Officer. 20 years old. President Labour Party Club. Treasurer Te Rangatahi. Keen debater, Secretary of the Debiting Society. Plunket medal oratory contestant. Also member Student Union Planning Committee, was prominent in Student Action organisation committee, a frequent speaker at Forum.

Policy: I have no specific promises to make. Instead of making promises I believe that we should be looking at present deficiencies of the Students' Association and ways in which these could be overcome.

1.)	Executive wastes too much time on petty issues. For it to have the confidence of the student body it must give proper leadership.
2.)	Executive must look at ways of making the Association more useful to the student body.
3.)	The present office and administration is shambolic and must be improved.
4.)	Research on accomodation and bursary problems etc is hopelessly inadequate. We should have all the facts at our finger-tips, rather than have to scratch up information at the last moment, as happened in preparing documentation for the Boycott. This could be centralised through N.Z.U.S.A.
5.)	More co-ordination is needed in University sports, social and intellect [unclear: al] activity, and someone should be appointed to control this co-ordination.
6.)	Executive has often been reluctant to speak out on major issues, both national and international. Students should be intelligent enough to have a viewpoint on major issues and should not be afraid to express their viewpoint For this reason I believe that we should make public our views on any matter from Vietnam to the hours of drinking.
7.)	More student representation of Council is essential, if the student viewpoint is to be heard. As P.R.O. I submitted this to Executive, and the matter is now being discussed with the University authorities.

I see the position of Men's Vice-President as a policy portfolio. The Vice-President should be free from time consuming day to day administrative duties so that he can act as the President's right hand man.
