Cultural Affairs Officer

Cultural Affairs Officer

The Cultural Clubs Council A.G.M., held on Thursday, 14 March, was poorly attended by representatives of cultural clubs. Members of the Debating Society, Labour Party Club and Law Faculty Club were conspicuously absent. While many of the smaller clubs may not have been sufficiently organised, it is surprising that even these well-established clubs showed so little enthusiasm for the advancement of their interests.

Officers elected to the cultural Clubs Committee were:

Deputy Chairman: Graeme Sargent

Secretary: Barbara Williams

Treasurer: Don Gilling and five committee members.

None of these nominations were opposed.

The Committee is at present organising Little Cogress, to be held at the Salvation Army Camp at Aatarawa over the last weekend of April.

"Do We have Freedom of Expression in New Zealand?" is the topic of the weekend's lectures and discussion. Speakers invited include The Minister of Labour. Mr. Shand, Mr. Ian Templeton of the parliamentary Press Gallery, Mr. J. H. Dunn, a libel expert. Professor John Roberts (Political Science and Administration), Professor Munz of the History Department, and Mr. Graham Billing.

Because of limited cooking facilities, numbers will be restricted to 65. The cost of the weekend will be about $5, depending on transportation. Application forms will be available from the Students' Association Office next week.
