Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 2. 1966.

New lecture series — Denis Glover To Lecture First

New lecture series
Denis Glover To Lecture First

Lectures by prominent New Zealand experts, drawn from outside the universities, covering aspects of New Zealand's next 10 years, will be given in the Political Science first series of First Term Lectures.

President of the club, Tony Ashenden, told Salient that it is hoped to make the lectures an annual feature.

The speeches, which will begin on Wednesday next, March 23, and continue for six weeks (see box for details) will later be published in book form.

Mr. Ashenden says that no effort has been spared to obtain a top-rate selection of speakers on the general theme, which is "The Next Ten Years and Beyond."

He says that although no time will be allowed for the audience to question the speakers, the society has taken the unusual step of organising a wine and cheese evening on the evening of the last lecture to enable interested students (who will have to purchase tickets) to meet the guest speakers informally.

Nationally known wit and writer, Denis Glover, will send the series off next Wednesday with a discussion of New Zealand Society.

Following speakers include the recently retired judge of the Arbitration Court, Sir Arthur Tyndall, the director of the New Zealand Institute of Economic Research, Mr. J. K. Rowe, and a well-known Wellingtonian, who has been associated with many cultural groups, including art, chamber music, and opera, Mr. F. Turnovsky.

Prominent Training College lecturer Mr. J. Shallcrass will critically consider education, and a leading opposition member of parliament. Dr. Martin Finlay, will speak on parliamentary matters.
