A Letter — In the Dark

A Letter

In the Dark

Sir,—First year students at the college are exhorted to take an interest in the various College organisations. Most students support the chibs, but to the "fresher" the parent body, the Executive, seems to be an august body which meets behind closed doors at odd hours to decide Collegiate affairs, and which has no interest in freshers as such. This, I know, is not true. However, it is true that the Executive keeps new students in the dark about its times of meeting, and the rights and privileges of new students.

I have asked various "freshers" the time of the Executive meeting; they did not know. Surely if the Executive expects an interest to be taken in Student Association affairs the Executive meeting should be more publicised. An agenda of the meeting to come should be posted on the notice board, together with the time of the meeting. And what does the "fresher" know of the Executive? Perhaps their names, but not their fame. Perhaps its achievements, but not its aims. The Executive should be so publicised as to give not only "freshers" but other students the chance to take an interest in the Students' Association.
