EXEC. REPORT[picture] by William T. Wormcast At a recent CSA meeting, the question was asked of Harry Adam, Secretary of the CSA Executive, requesting information as to the minutes and publicity for the weekly Exec Meetings. Mr Adam replied that there had only been one Exec Meeting so far and that the minutes were not yet available. Ms Morgan Thomas moved that the Meetings should be open and well publicised and this was accepted by the CSA although Ms Jane Mackay opposed it in the spirit by saying 'Executive Meetings could well be quite boring.' We should like to point out that the Constitution of the Students' Association, which was passed at one of the most massive GMs in many years, states that 'Executive Meetings shall be held weekly during semesters' and that 'Minutes of Exec Meetings shall be presented to each subsequent CSA Meeting'. Under Article 5(e) of the same Constitution, 'Any Member of the Exec who misses three meetings during his or her term of office without apologies being accepted shall be deemed to have resigned'. As was clear from Mr Adam's statement at that CSA Meeting of 3rd November, none of the Members of the Exec could have attended 'three meetings' and so we call on them to resign. When we enquired after the original minutes of the CSA Meeting of 3rd November, we were informed by the CSA Book-keeper, Ms May Donald, that Malcolm Jenkins, the CSA Administrator, was attending a funeral, but, that in any case, the original minutes were usually destroyed by Mr Jenkins. This leads us to out rejection of the minutes as published on the grounds that they are utterly unrepresentative of the true statements of Members present at the Meeting. NISI ILLEGITUM CARBORUNDUM |
