Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 11, No. 4. April 7th, 1948

I.U.S.
All colleges supported affiliation to IUS., but opinions differed as to whether we should pay the full affiliation fee of 6d. per head. The Auckland delegates were strongly in favour of the full 6d. Both Nathan and McLaren of AUC said the same as Salient has said many times before, that we cannot expect to belong to IUS unless we are fully financial members. Lincoln College supported AUC, and the VUC delegates, convinced by this plain commonsense, also called for the full 6d. The other delegates had been instructed by parsimonius executives not to go to the full amount, and the motion to pay 6d. per head was lost on the casting vote of the chairman, the President of the Otago Students' Association. On the motion of Symon, CUC, the meeting decided to pay 1d. for 1947 and 2d. for 1948.
The matter is to be raised again at the August conference. VUC must ensure that the full amount is paid in the future.
