No Confidence

Our readers will remember that at the elections for the Executive Committee of the Victorian University College Students' Association the number of votes recorded for the two candidates for the position of secretary were equal. To decide who was to hold the position the Returning Officer tossed a coin with the result that Mr. Hume is now our secretary.

The cause for our dissatisfaction is this. When the time came for the Executive Committee to appoint an Assistant Secretary Mr. Milburn was not appointed although he had the same number of votes recorded for him as Mr. Hume. This fact, we submit, should have made his appointment a matter of course as in our considered opinion he has an overwhelming right that makes the appointment of any other person ridiculous. But someone else was appointed—to whit, Mr. Neil Moun-tier, who, with all due respect to him, was not one of the successful candidates in the election.

We therefore feel on the grounds that the Victoria University College Students' Association Executive Committee did not take due notice of the express wishes of the student body, that the aforementioned Executive Committee should no longer have the confidence of the student body.
