If their workloads are too great, students cannot give sufficient time to participation in the first two functions therefore:
Policy: I will initiate a detailed review of the Credit system to insure that it provides flexibility rather than increases workloads (as it happens when each course is treated like a whole unit).
[unclear: If] students are to develop their interests and enjoy their time at University he various clubs must be active: therefore:
Policy: I will give full support to the [unclear: nini-] Art Festival being organised by he Cultural Affairs Council.
If the University is to be an effective agent of social change the staff (and a greater number of students) must be mobilised.
Policy: To hold discussions with the Staff Club and take action to encourage staff to mix more with students and to join with students in working for social change.
At present activity to implement SRC policy on Vietnam, the Tour and Military Service is at a satisfactory high level
Policy:To vigorously support HART and OHMS and any action which I consider productive, aimed at implementing SRC policy.
In general as your Man Vice-President during the next six months I will ease the administrative load of the President and support students working to improve the Students Association contribution to the three functions outlined at the beginning.
