Policy:

1Try much harder to get interesting downtown people up to V.U.W. (especially for short lunch hour stands).
2Try and get co operation from all cultural clubs so that they co-ordinate activities, don't clash, and have much more information given in advance. V.U.W. should be the cultutal centre of the city.
3Investigate allocations of memorial theatre - while all worthwhile productions from downtown should be encouraged the S.U.B. is basically for students and should be available for clubs.
4Institute a scheme whereby clubs are encouraged to institute worthwhile evenings, by having special grants to cover the cost of one particular venture (eg supper costs for a discussion or production costs for a drama production, or free use of the theatre).

As a member of executive I pledge myself to fight for better student conditions. I believe that all matters in which we take part should be organised carefully and responsibly, and that we should not be frightened of criticism. I believe that a University's function is to be the centre of betterment and appraisal in our community, and will strongly appose any attempt to restrict Executive to University affairs only in its discussions. I shall try and implement a better liason with the staff so that they know where we stand enabling us to get their help. After our stand on the petition and the public curiosity having being aroused, now is the vital time to support N.Z.U.S.A. in its attempts to fight. We must have strenth, not talk of saving £1,000 in subscriptions or petty power politics. The testing time is now. I particularly want Executive to go the people, as was done during the boycott time, with representatives speaking to Wharfies.
