NZUSA Resident Executive

have received samples of a student identity card prepared and published by the Secretariat in co-operation with other national unions. The original idea was put forward at a Cosec conference.

This card provides students in all parts of the world with a Standard, generally recognised document certifying him to be a bona fide student. This should make available to him, while travelling, whatever special facilities are available to students.

The card could, when used in conjunction with "Student Hostels and Restaurants" and the "Handbook on Student Travel", also published by Cosec, make possible very significant savings.

NZUSA is responsible for issuing the document, and they hope to have supplies in by February or March next year. Those students who intend to travel are invited to write to the Editor, "Salient" for a descriptive leaflet and further information.

The NZUSA Resident Executive travel and exchange officer announces that Cooks have not yet chartered an aircraft. It was not possible to charter a DC6 and it is hoped that a DC4 may be obtained, at a slightly greater cost. "Salient" is willing to provide further information to those interested.
