Exec members should come in two forms: ideas people and implemehtators. I freely admit that my ideas (eg Tiddlywinks Soci­ ety, Marion Adams etc.) are few and far between, frivolous and often pretty corny, and that they usually backfire, but at least I try. And they are always based on the premise that has become quite popular since Marion, that is that this place is s sterile hole, but that it needn’t be, and that its up to us to do things about it. And that spending an extra year on your degree is unimportant if you enjoy yourself while you’re here and have a few friends consultation with a suitably qualified officer, to decide whether by the time you leave.

(EDUCATION)

Students are dissatisfied with the present system of education at this university we’re dissatisfied with inadequate bursaries, dis­ satisfied with the lack of control over our courses, and over the university administration generally, and dissatisfied with the fact that, our courses are usually not related to what we want and need to learn. Most students agree that bursaries should be increased. The Young Socialists think we need that and more: a living wage for all students, with a built-in escalator clause to keep pace with rising prices. This recommendation was passed at a recent S.R.C. meeting, and 1 would work wholeheartedly to achieve it. On all university committees students are in a minority. Yet MURRAY McCULLY we make up the great bulk of the university population, and this PUBLIC LIAISON fact should be reflected in these committees. Connected with this As public liaison officer it would be my intention to seek a is the problem that on controversial matters these bodies can make much better relationship between the student body and the com­ secret decisions: we have a right to know what takes place on munity.
