Jim Battersby

Jim is a third-year Arts student who hopes to complete his B.A. this year. His past and present college activities include SCM Executive, 1946-47; Rugby First XV, 1946-47; Debating Society and Tennis Club, and as a member of the Athletic Club he recently represented Wellington against visiting American athletes.

Jim is emphatic that student affairs should be controlled purely by students. He suggests that a committee be formed to investigate and arrange student accommodation, and that the cafeteria facilities be improved. He would like to see greater encouragement of sport in the College and is also anxious that attempts be made to make the city more University-conscious and the University more worthy of public support.
