Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 14, No. 10. August 9, 1951

[Introduction]

The N.Z. Student Labour Federation Newsletter of July 1 gives top headlines to the need for hostels in our university colleges. But it does not stop at repeating the moans of many about the absence of them, and about the expense of student board elsewhere. It gives considerable and sympathetic attention to the views of Eric Ashby, vice-chancellor of Queen's University, Belfast, on the topic of "part-time hostels," which it suggests might be a solution to existing difficulties.

Mr. Ashby's views were first given prominence among New Zealand students in Canterbury College's "Canta" on June 20. Since Mr. Ashby is probably best known to students for his utterances against Soviet science, it may seem strange that S.L.F. should give him so much space; but his views on this student topic are certainly worthy of consideration.
