Congress

A sub-committee of N.Z.U.S.A. Executive was prepared several weeks before the end of the last term of 1943 to launch a comprehensive propaganda and organisational programme among the four colleges for the holding of a National Student Congress at Easter, 1944. Just as the posters for this were to go to print, A.U.C. announced that they were prepared to hold a tournament at Easter, which by the motion passed at the A.G.M. excluded the holding of full-scale Congress at Easter, 1944. V.U.C. suggested that a modified Congress be held at the same time as tournament. One or two delegates from each College should here discuss the organisation of future Congresses, which, it is hoped, will be held regularly. Colleges were asked for their opinion on this and the matter was still under discussion when tournament was cancelled because of travel restrictions.
