I | STOP PRESS J Auckland’s Watergate.....or a comedy of errors?
It had to happen I suppose. Weeks of backbiting and intrigue-culminated f last weekend with the almost unbelievable discovery of an electronic ‘bugging’ device - planted in the office of our Students Association President.
But it wasn’t a well-known Asian power checking up on its recalcitrant students. Nor could we blame that old bogey of the New Zealand Security Service hardpressed to find something to do since the PYM quietened down.
For on Sunday night, Studass President, Ed Haysom, found that his office had been ‘entered’. Our brave culprits - who promptly left the scene - left their gear (and a master key) behind. Later, at least three students were interviewed by the police and taken to Auckland Central for further questioning.
Police later found a microphone planted in Haysom’s ceiling - with wires leading to an upstairs office - where a tape recorder was concealed.
It is not yet known whether charges will be laid. However, both the Sell- police, Haysom and the University are known to be taking the matter in polil seriously. Disciplinary action by the University has also been rumoured. The Retail Anyway read next week’s Craccum for the full story about our very particu own bugging scandal.
