Christchurch: The "Compass" television programme on Canterbury University's Forum was not considered to contain anything slanderous, but he hopes some future programme may highlight a more positive aspect of student activity, the Director-General of Broadcasting (Mr. G. H. Stringer) has said.

He was replying to a letter of protest on the programme from Canterbury president John Anderson, which alleged that slander, bad language and less than careful editing marked the programme.
