Registration Under National Military Act 1961

It has been suggested that the recent decision of the University Council not to disclose to the Secretary of Labour information in the University files relating to students who may be liable to register under the National Military Service Act 1961 may be taken to indicate that the Council condones failure on the part of students to perform their duties under this Act.

The Council wishes to emphasise that such an interpretation of this resolution would be completely unjustified. On the contrary, the Council considers that students, as members of the community, should fully and promptly comply with all duties placed on them by the above mentioned Act. The Council has full confidence that the student body as a whole will be of the same opinion as the Council in this matter.—Yours, etc.,

J. Williams,

Vice-Chancellor.
