For the Position of Publications Officer next year I have both the time and reasonable knowledge of what is required — this is more important than any political faction that a candidate may support.

The position of publications officer is bloody important even though it tends to get shoved into the background. Publications in vanity are one of the chief means of communication amonst students. This aspect should gain more emphasis as far too many students know too little of what is happening around this place. Salient is the main medium of this communication but other, apparently less important publications should have a wider range of circulation. Publications in general should be stronger and more important.

I would like to see greater emphasis on publications at the begin-ning of the year. At present several booklets are produced because too many students dont know what varsity is or even give a stuff about it.

A considerable amount of administration goes into Publications Against this are the political aspects that go with any executive position. If elected I intend to be a Publications Officer and not use it purely as a political position. I do have my views and ideas which I intend to push forward. An executive position is a useful way of doing this. But whoever fills the position must be a Publications officer and not simply use it as a political stand.

This sounds like the rave of a candidate who wants to be Publications Officer. It is. Students must know who they vote for. Don't danm well vote for a bloody name that appears everywhere unless they can do the job students want.
