Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 10. September 14, 1959

Arts Festival

Arts Festival

"With so much uncertainty I think we should leave the invitation for someone to hold a second N.Z.U. Arts Festival on the books," said N.Z.U.S.A. President B. V. Galvin in opening discussion on several remits from Otago on the question of the second Arts Festival.

The first of these remits, namely, "that A.U. be asked to run Arts Festival during the first week of the August vacation 1960," brought the statement from Auckland delegate, Owen Miller, that "at the moment we can see very little point in this. We have our own Arts Festival which uses University talent. A university festival doesn't strike a very necessary note."

No Billets

Much of the discussion on this topic revolved around the difficulties of providing billets for Arts Festival participants especially where the Arts Festival coincided with Tournament.

A conclusion was not reached and President Galvin and the meeting decided to await the results of discussions on the local level which Resident Executive would circulate.
