After holding their Annual General Meeting members of the Political Science Society were shown a programme of three films of interest to all students. This film show was the highlight of a highly successful meeting of some 35 members.

The financial statement showed a small credit balance, which was a pleasing contrast to last year's large defiicit. In reviewing the year's activities, Mr. Benda explained that strenuous efforts has been made to place "The Journal of Political Science" on a sound basis. This had been successful and it was now on an excellent basis, and a new issue worthy of Victoria College was expected daily from the printers. Mr. Fitzgerald was elected President, Mr. Howarth Vice-president, Mr. Newick Secretary, Messrs. Harland. Mutch and Beaglehole Committee.

The films shown, with the kind assistance of Mr. Anderson, were "Human Rights," a. U.N.O. production, "Public Opinion," and "Pop Goes the Weasel," a film on taxes. Each film had a special significance: each stressed the point that every person should take a keen interest in government and politics. Apathy was the cause of a number of ills of the body politic and an enlightened interest in government and "Human Rights" may be the means of preventing a worldwide conflagration.
