Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 15, No. 2. March 13, 1952

And Uncle Tom Cobley..

And Uncle Tom Cobley...

Representatives were present from the university colleges, except Lincoln, and the conference which ran concurrently took action on, among other things: The Hungarian Student Fund, which is the practical action being taken by the U.C.S.N.Z. to assist the D.P. problem.

One of the two Hungarian students being assisted in New Zealand, Tommy Paulay, was present at the Congress.

The weather was fine and the food good, with the sea two minutes' walk away by day and more often by night.

Pax Romana, the paper of the Catholic Students' International, was available. The wall newspaper, "The Parapram Papist and Opthomist Times," published the gem in the box on page 2.

Mention was made and prayers said for the late King and our new Queen.

Apologies were received from Federations in Malaya, Indonesia, India and Japan, Hong Kong and the Philippines, and from Pax Romana. Fribourg, Europe.

U.C.S.N.Z.'s fourth Congress organised belatedly by Victoria was clearly successful but it became more and more obvious that Christians have a responsibility to think, pray and act or watch most of Christianity perish.
