Social

Taking full advantage of the best sporting and student recreation facilities in any University centre, CUC turned on first-class hospitality for Tournament visitors.

Organization proved to be CUC's specialty, and much credit must go to Tournament Controller Ian Mc-Dougall and CUCSA president John Rutherford and their helpers.

Climaxing a marathon week's social, administrative and Sporting activities, the Tournament Ball held in the Caledonian Hall was the usual delightful shambles. The sice of the hall dictated the style of play: seating and dancing space were at a premium and liquor wasn't, so the large crowd indulged in considerable imbibing and skylarking interspersed with some dancing.

Wellington's Winter Show is quite the nearest to ideal an a venue for Tournament Balls.

In the course of the night's programme. NZU Blues in sports and drinking were announced, trophies were presented, compliments were exchanged by college delegates, the delegates had a sack-race in which the mortality rate was startlingly high, and someone fell off the stage landing on a bottle (full) in his trousers pocket.

Prizes ranging from £A2,000 Customline sedan to Australian lottery tickets are offered in an art union organized by Tasmanian University students to raise funds to build a badly-needed student union building. 150.000 tickets at 2/- will be sold throughout Australia.
