year to replFce them and it was also decided that as the number of students has gone (~r is going) down, the n ber of the Executive, which was normally seven, according to years, be reduced to six, namely the President, Vice-Pre8iden~. Secretary and three other members.

ACTIVITIES AND CONTACT WITH OTHER CAMPUSES:

. There has been very little activity on campus this 7ear. and contaot with other campuses seems to have been conrined to SRC level, particularly with Turfloop. Once the Regional Director of SA SO came over and gave a talk on SASO. IIr Sabel.o Ntwasa spoke to us on Black Theology. Part of the building has been put Bside for conferences because of the fewn. or students, but people to these we do not have contact with ( conference level) except by special permission. Thus did aa.a of our students attend a seminar held recently on Black eo1osr •

. Once a question, still unanswered, was asked why St Pet r t ••

thus, far, has had no part 1n intervars1ty activities. bave the desire to be inclu~ed therein. .

After a BUcces ful play last year by our draaa aOci.~. ~a1t1ng for Godot" some of us went to Wita this 7ear ~or

ame play and almost got disillussioned when they were to1 that tho show that day was for the public, and thua ·n~~~ w r Dot allowed. The Wits SRC President 0 e to their re8oue! Anoth r ahow is being organieed tbie 7ear ror Ootober.

APPtLIATION TO SASO, • .'

I was ssured by our President, regarding St Peter'. ~1li­ation to SASO, that the matter has b en e ttled be en SRO and the Reotor. What has delayed th final decia1OD. far, is that there has not been an opportun1t7, due to certain pressures, and instability, to convene th SPSS. Tbie will certainly be done in the next t ~ and it i. our t

bope that, as it does appear that many studenta on CC'-'[JU.

are for SASO, though yet more luke wa~,. s~ould certain ]7 oome to ~ow where we stand then.

In tbe past our relations with NUSAS were ver.J 8~ranc. But this, seemingly, was due to the enthueiasm of certain of our students who were highly dedicated to thi8 orsaniaa­·tion, now ex-students. I have been made to be11!ve that they were an obstaole to ~t ~et~r's .total af~~li tion \0 SASO last year; The only contact we ' still have wi"tb SAS 1s, on their part, through tbeir News~etter and otber intor­mation oorrespondence. This is ~ot reciprocal. On the whole I must say that most of our students~ I am sorr,J "to -.r. have an attitude of indifference - perhaps biased, it no~ lID. expression of lack of incentive. This makes contac~ all tbe more netlesB!U'Y.

).

REESO is a product of visible frustrations which plague ever,r student and/or part-time who cannot find an outlet through which be con realize and actualize his views, prinoiples and ideals which h~ so cherished whilst still a campus student.

It was this led the Reef students to found a local branoh of SASO which theT felt would be the only organisation which 1e 1n' a position to meet and translate these aspi­rations into practical projects.

Wl:{AT REESO IS OOING: ;

(i) Tbe seconding of its members to individuals Blaok scbools in the Reef which members are to offer tbeir "academic" services to students in their r6spec t1ve fields. We realize that Black stUdents are baving some difficulties in their studies because of the lack of "appropriate" qualified teaohers .

. PEDUlAL TRmLOGICAL 5BIIJ( ARY ' S REPORT

--I shall never forget the student body meeting to.arae tbe

end ,of that year when the establishment ot SASO a~ the Seminary was being debated . It was a hard and beated debate Ths result is obvious - a local branch -was established eYeD • though central affiliation~no achieved. Ear17 ~b~ applic~tion was made , through the SHC, to the Acade.1c Board tor affiliation. - At a ~bselJuent Board aeeUng 1~ te1-t that 'the SASO cons't1tution was not 'SaUstac-tor,-t. ~e __ it i possible for us to draw-up a local cons'ti~tion wbich was required by the Board. There bas been Ca.DJl~ca"OD between SASO President and the President ot the Sewina'17 concerning this consti tulion. HoweYer, I think tbi. -twr is now 11l der control and I hope to presen't to the Board a looal constitution next tera. I am aleo confid t t ~ nex-t term the aRC will affiliate to SASO - ' 0 c01lree thi. d .1JDd1a on Student opinion.

What is SASQts progress, if any, on the C88pQ8?

BASO was till in its eabrJ'onic tate, 001 ....... , __ students would nbt accept SASO b cauee o~ the '\era ,~~& They did not ee themselves as being 'blac t . !be.J themselves as being more wbite than black - a ~w of affairs and indeed , absurd. But I p1eased -to repon -t r cently there has been a sligb~ cbaDge 1.0 -ttdDki.D8 _~ ... some Coloured studdnts. Tbe7. ar beginniDa -to accept -t they are Black and th~z::e -tbV7 are tbi.nking, . and acting accordingly. This is ve.~ ~nc~raglJlg ..

The s e hang-ups that prevail another lJla.ck ~ concerning SASO also prevailed at tbe SeaiDar,J e. g . S&SO being a political orsanisation~ SASO being a racia-t QrBaD1-sation and so on . But ' in api te ot all tbes~ haDg-1lliB ana other difficulties , there is a growing aeDa of BLack .---.z~e--­ness among s tudents. I would saJ that alaoat ~ -tbe . s tudents are keen supporters ,and f oU awers of SASQt e i deo:tosr.

What has SASO Local done in org;;insiaing ~ e-te.?

Quite honestly we have -done ftoth~ - . !bia ... due · to a ' number o~ factor s :

", (1.)

( ii)

( ii1) (iv)

l'inance l ast semester about ~ of tbe i nvol ved i n a play; . not enough i nt erest ed peopl e; poor organisation on the part of tbe l.ocal committee.

On the l ast point , I wish t o a dd that i~ was not yer,r easy and s ometimes impossible to call a meeting of ~be local. committee. , I regret t o say that not all t he meab~ra ot -the local commi ttee a re ~oing t heir thing. Saae ,members ~e nevEU', a s yet, 'attended any mee.tinga. This is JIlost discoura­ging. Now tha t we haye dedicat~d and sincere peo~le wi-th drive and initiative, ~ hope to change rq cOllllli'ttee. I m&b1t add that for next term we have plann&d aaDf projefl8.

FIN ANCE: Because we are not atf.iliated--'Co the SHC no IlOIle7 is 8110cated to us . But we ~ve by 'exploiting' tb SBC.

RELATION WITH ADMINISTRATION: •

After the sit-in in May of last year, stQ!f-student relationship has improved. But some statt-student rela~ tionshipe have .improved so muoh that these students have now become, what you might call, bum-lic~ers. And it is s~~ when you find such people in the SRC. Student Repre­sentative in Seminary Governemtn ' recently, the President of the SRC, myself and another member of the SRC have been elected into the Academic Board. This is one ot. the ~op decision making bodies at the Seminary • . ST~T FEELINGS ON MULTI-RACIAL ORGANISATIONS:

There, is a move by the Student body to kiok out YMCA as it is felt, and I would a~ee, to be a useless body.

U.C.M.: Ras a strong following on the oampus.

NUSAS: Here I would put a question mark. I ·am not really sure how great an impact NUSAS has on the students. But those who belong to SASO and UOM bave li ttle or no dealings with NUSAS. Some stud'ents bave evon approacned me about the possibilities of kic ng out NUSAS. But somehow, I don't think this yrill • SO eaoy ~ not just yet at any rate.

Because of the great number of students" organi'sation; sporting club,s and cultural sooieties; every li~tle money is allocated to each body. ThiS makes it difficult to send more than one delegate to any oonfe-renee.
