President Steve Aulsebrook called it “pathetic”, while General Secretary Ray Cohen commented, “ I’m as sick as a parrot; it is ------———------pretty disgusting”. In the elections, which were by Hugh Bateson held over four days at the beginning of the week, only 1504 people voted, 14.2% of the total electorate. with 310.

One question that has to be asked concerns the viability of a National Union at all. It can be argued that the Union has no real influence on decisions that made concerning students that Aulsebrook claims reform could not be achieved by voluntary co-operation, without the massive financial contributions that colleges are forced to make.

LEEDS STUDENT - 8th February 1980 Page 5 ADVERTISEMENT LEEDS UNIVERSITY UNION OVERSEAS STUDENTS FEES - THE WAY WE CAN WIN A t the end of last year the following motion was tabled by Conservative M.P. Anthony Kershaw. "That this house, whilst aware o f the financial restrictions necessary at the present time, nevertheless deplores the announcement by her Majesty's Government that the fees charged to overseas students for attendance at centres o f higher education in the United Kingdom are once again to be sharply increased this year and perhaps next year as well; realises that these charges are by far the highest in the world and must result in handicapping poorer students especially from poorer countries many from the Common­ wealth; and considers that the result o f these high charges w ill be to damage our institutions of learning, and to cause loss to our economy not only in the long term but even in the short term, and that this policy calls into question the respect which Her Majesty's Government has in the past paid and which it should always pay to the culture and civilisation o f our country." If enough M.P's sign their name on this motion it will be discussed in the House of Commons and the Government will stand a very good chance of defeat. M.P's don't take any notice of circular letters from pressure groups, but they do read letters from their constituents. You will all have an M.P. Please write to them urging them to sign the Early Day Motion, (18 December, 292) and force a debate in the House of Commons. This motion has attracted support across the political scale, but it needs the support of your M.P. if it is to succeed. Remember: Over the next three years, Leeds University expect to loose £3 million from their budget through reductions in Overseas Students — this is fact — and it will not be made up from home students.

LEEDS STUDENT — 8th February 1980 Page 8 LIVER VERSE The Liverpool Poets have come a long way since their anthology ‘The Mersey Sound’ was published in 1968. They are now developing more as individuals than as a group. In fact they now seem to lack faith in the power of poetry and are beginning to turn their talents towards other mediums. McGough, Patten and Henri were at the University last week. Here SEAN O'HAGAN writes about their reading, while interviews with the three are on Page 9. STEVE SAUNDERS took the photographs.
