NZUSA and WDFY

During the discussion Nig. Taylor elucidated the question of VUC's affiliation to WFDY. NZUSA's representative at the Prague Congress recommended against affiliation because "WFDY is a communist organisation." Mr. Taylor pointed out that VUC had always been in favour of affiliation but other Colleges were against it.

"For those unfortunate people" who hate to see youth getting together to solve their own problems," said Mr. Williams in reply, "any excuse is sufficient to deter them."

Before showing the film a motion was passed recommending the Exec, to urge affiliation of NZUSA, and if this is turned down by the other Colleges to consider direct affiliation.

The highlights of the film were requiem mass held for the seventy-eight Czech students, the demonstration by the population of Prague, and the posthumous conferring of the honorary degree of Doctor in Memoriam on the famous seventy-eight.
