NZUSA is at the Crossroads. The time has come to discard its outdated apolitical philosophy. During: the last 18 months there have been stirrings of unrest amongst many students—a disillusionment and frustration among students over the attitude and achievements of NZUSA. In this period, under the leadership of Michael Moriarty, a hopeful change of direction and an increase in activity has been noticeable.
But the International Student Conference has given New Zealand students, particularly those in Christchurch, an electric shock. Students are realising that they require of NZUSA not only action on such things as bonded bursaries and travel concessions—and victory in this latter field may soon be ours—but they also want NZUSA to fulfill its obligations and make its contribution to New Zealand society and the international community. Through such leadership by NZUSA each individual student would be able to participate and contribute in both fields.
