Alison Pearce

Alison is a member of the present executive and has found membership most interesting. Fifth year at College three—years full-time getting an Arts degree and now part-time doing Law so she feels that she is in touch with College life. She is on the Debating Society Committee and Convenor of the Women's Common Room Committee. Other clubs she has supported are the Glee Club. Swimming Club! the S.C.M. and has helped in the last three Extravs.

She would particularly like to see the College have more corporate life. This involves more encouragement of and support for clubs, more staff-student meetings and, of course, help with the Building Appeal. The College should have a proper hall in which outside speakers could address the students and discuss questions with them. This would fulfil a university function and help to lessen the impression that the university is just a school.
