Salient. Victoria University of Wellington Student's Newspaper. Volume 31, Number 7. April 23 1968

[introduction]

Here are extracts from the report of Douglas White, President of the Students' Association, for the six months from 29 June to 31 December. This half-year term enabled the Association year to run from January to December instead of June to June from 1968 onwards.

After some difficulty the new Constitution was finally adopted at a Special General Meeting in August, 1967. It has already been decided that the Executive would hold office until 31st December, 1967.

The Constitution was amended in a number of places in its adoption and it appears that further amendment will be required to make it a satisfactory document.

It is hoped that the system of administration contained in the new Constitution will be worked out during this year. Mention should be made of the difficulties caused by the Constitutional changes in the running of elections last year.

Under the new Constitution, elections will be held in the second term of each year to elect the Executive for the following year . . . .
