At Their Best

But they were seen at their best among the Maoris at Ngati Poneke. In no time at all they were at home with everybody. They were fascinated by the hakas and action songs, and were only too happy to perform in return.

It was a pity that more people did not get the opportunity to meet them, vacation time or not. Surely a little more forethought could have been given to arranging a larger student function than the N.Z.U.S.A.'s cocktail party.

Salient's chat with them, all too brief, was an accident of fate and had nothing to do with either the N.Z.U.S.A. or the Student Press Council. The latter, in fact, organised an evening to which anybody except the student press seemed to be welcome.

Salient hopes this type of student visit will become more frequent in future.
