Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 18, No. 2. March 18, 1954

[News from Helsinki]

The announced gold-diggers' camp in Lapland, which was organised jointly by the Finnish and Danish National Unions of Students, was opened on August 15. Forty German and twenty Danish students will work there as gold-diggers. They have pledged 25 per cent of the yield to the Finnish National Union (S.Y.L.). There had been great difficulties in finding a promising digging claim for the students, because all rich yielding places had already been staked out for other groups of interested people.
