Public Relations

Public Relations

Ian McKinnon

Ian McKinnon

Ian McKinnon was educated at Nelson College, fourth year B.Com Student - at the present he is a full time student having been part time in 1963. He is a member of the Accountant Students' Society, the Political Science Society and the V.U.W. Judo Club, and at present sits on the Exec. Sub Committee for Public Relations. He has been a member of a special Sub Committee on Public relations Objectives and the Publications Sub Committee.

Policy: I consider Public Relations from two angles,

a)being a student at V.U.W.
b)being a member of the "outside" looking at V.U.

In regard to a) if elected he would pay attention to and generally assist fellow executive members with the problems of Orientation, with particular regard to "breaking down" the impersonal attitude of this Univeristy faced by freshers and foreign students. He would play his part in directing Execs. attention to considering matters of Direct Benefit to students and/or those matters which Exec. is called upon to deal with by a majority of the students.

In regard to b) if elected he would contact representatives of all New Media within a fortnight of being elected and thereby become immediatley familiar with all outlets which may be used to the advantage of Victoria students.

He would contact City and National officials for the purpose of building up understanding and good relations, and hence be in a better position should any problems or differences of opinion arise.

Generally: Students have a role to play in the community, that of constructive critics, on occassions though a good public image is called for, (in particular when we want public support).

McKinnon will see to this.
