Palmerston Relieved when they Left!

In conclusion, on behalf of the N.Z. Universities may I formally thank all Palmerston North land ladies for their (enforced?) hospitality, the generous owners of open-party flats, and the long-suffering citizens . . . who stole their wattle, kept them awake till ungodly hours, paraded round in absurdly long scarves, menaced pedestrians in old bombs and Painted The Town Red?

P.S.—Query: How come the Victoria University Women's Drinking Team with their unparalled record of five minutes, received no opposition after challenging all the other universities?
