The two sports representatives to travel to Canterbury this week to participate in N.Z.U.S.U. will be Don Brooker and Conor McBride. Armour Mitchell, Executive men's vice-president, will also be there as secretary of Sports Council.

Probably the most controversial topic will concern Palmerston North—Victoria will support the combination of Palmerston North and Massey for competing in future Tournaments. It is not practical to participate with Victoria and It is far more reasonable that they combine with Massey, which is situated nearer.

Palmerston North Tournament

Also on the agenda will be the matter of holding Winter Tournament 1961 at Palmerston North— Victoria supports this in principle. Another suggestion is that Massey control the Sports section and Palmerston North, being smaller in number, the Arts Festival.

Changes in the Constitution will be effected if the following remits are passed—that men's and women's athletics become separate sports from the point of view of points for the Tournament Shield; that swimming and water-polo be separated for the same reason; that the question of eligibility be reconsidered and reworded for clarification.

Competitors should remember that Don and Conor are in charge of travel arrangements, so that it anyone gets into difficulties they are the people to turn to. They can be contacted through Information Bureau at Canterbury.

Press Council

"Salient" Editor Ian Grant can't drag himself away from the fascinating world of advertising to take his place at the full Press Council meeting in Christchurch.

Chief reporter Michael Heine will be "Salient's" mouthpiece. Peter Frater and Ann Sayers will observe.

President O'Regan's report to Press Council will slate "Salient" for lack of organisation (sporting and N.Z.U.S.A. coverage) at Easier tournament. "Salient" will not be prepared to take all the blame—there's nothing in the constitution to say that the host newspaper must organise press coverage. Perhaps it should be incorporated in the Press Council constitution.

There's talk that Press Council should prepare an Editor's Handbook. "Salient" believes this a waste of money. Who on Press Council—most members know nothing of newspaper production —could prepare a worthwhile guide? Surely editors can stagger to their nearest public libraries— and borrow the various editorial bibles.
