More Confusion

Secretary Roger Lawrence added that the scholarship had been described as a post graduate one. But now, it seemed, it was intended to bring out an undergraduate. Also a post-graduate course would be much shorter. The five years needed by a medical student seemed to him a ridiculously long time.

Another speaker pointed out the danger of a graduate being stranded in New Zealand because of scholarship funds running out. It would be up to the NZUSA to see that this did not occur.

Mr. Boldt said the scholarship scheme had originally been put to NZUSA by Victoria's delegates, who had not informed the executive of their intentions. It was also disappointing that NZUSA did not keep constituents informed of developments, he said.
