Harry Evison

Harry Evison, B.A., is a rehab, student doing History Honours and has been Secretary of the Association since June, 1948. He first attended Victoria in 1941 and enlisted in the RNZAF the following year. He returned to NZ late in 1945 and spent two years in Wellington Training College, where he was Chairman of the Debating and Tramping Clubs, active in drama, and editor of "Student Opinion" and "Ako Pai." His chief joys in sporting are mountaineering and ski-ing.

He has definite ideas on Association affairs and policy, and Building Fund Appeal Committees; Member of Common Room, Gymnasium, Liquor Regulations and Constitution Committees; VUC Delegate NZUSA Annual Conference; VUC representative NZUSA Congress Committee; and VUCSA representative to the Price Tribunal. He has also been active on several Club Committees.

He has definite ideas on Association affairs and policy. He stands for maximum possible support and assistance to all College Clubs, both financial and otherwise; but he also wants more attention paid to the needs of students outside of club activities, particularly in hostel, cafeteria, and Common Room accommodation. He is at present working on a scheme with the co-operation of the College authorities, for provision of a comfortable joint Common Room for men and women. He also believes that important decisions affecting Association policy should be made by General Meetings of the Association rather than by the Executive.

Finally, his experience of the recent war has convinced him that students as citizens are involved in the general struggle for World Peace.
