NZ's folk lore
NZ's folk lore
Students at Auckland and Massey are completely apathetic about New Zealand's folklore.
This is the view of folksinger Phil Garland, who has nearly completed a lecture tour of New Zealand universities. His tour has been sponsored by the New Zealand Universities Arts Council as the first part of the Council's art education programme.
Mr Garland expressed his bitter disappointment at the apathy shown towards folk lore at Auckland and Massey Universities. At Auckland, only twenty-five people attended his lecture, whereas at Dunedin between two and three hundred attended.
