Easter Conference

Easter Conference

The value to the University community in New Zealand or the N.Z.U.S.A. cannot be over-emphasised. Its unobtrusive existence must not be regarded as a sign of an effete or ineffective organisation. On the contrary, us was witnessed at the Faster Tournament, when it held its Annual General Meeting, the Association revealed itself as a live and active body with the affairs of the student intimately at heart.

Its membership is confined to three representatives each from Auckland. Victoria. Canterbury, and Otago University Colleges, and also one member each from Canterbury. Lincoln and Massey Agricultural Colleges. The former have two votes to each College and the latter one-half vole. At each College there is a corresponding member, whose duty it is to maintain contact with a central executive with headquarters at Wellington. Thus it may be seen that there is a comprehensive representation of the student population. It can be realised that it is here that lies the basic importance of the Association. Importance not only from the point of view of co-ordination of student activities, but also from the vast field of investigation into university matters that is open to it. In this direction it should prove invaluable, as is evident by the following account of its Easter meeting.
