Famine committee

The Extreme seriousness of the famine in India has led to the establishment of a student committee. Bill Manson, one of the initiators, says it was intended to seek funds for the CORSO £50, 000 Milk to India Fund on three levels—from the staff, the students and from the city business community.

"This famine, acknowledged as being the greatest natural disaster of our century, deserves some real sacrifice from the student and business community in Wellington," said Mr. Manson when interviewed by Salient.

Drivers' Union

Drivers Union members now have a university representative on the union. He is Tony Hassed (the sports officer on executive) who was appointed following an approach to the students association from the union. Mr. Hassed told Salient that he hopes students who are members of the union will contact him whenever they need assistance.

Cultural Affairs

New Cultural Affairs officer' on executive is Caroline Harding. She was one of four candidates for the post. Miss Harding fills the position left, vacant by the departure of the former officer, Ross Jamieson, for Christchurch.

Sunday News

Sunday News had a masterly scoop on the "Yankee go Home" mentality last Sunday. In an article about Australia's immigration policy they revealed this:

"The Locsin case brought even more pressure to bear on the Australian Government. Locsin, a member of a leading Filipino family, a bachelor of arts and of science, applied to emigrate to Australia in 1965.

"The Immigration Department's point blank refusal resulted in a violent anti-American campaign in Manila."

A Conservative Government is an organised hypocrisy.—Disraeli.

My idea of an agreeable person is one who agrees with me.— Disraeli.
