Will Promote Music, Personal Hygiene, Student Rehabilitation.

Decisions to promote personal hygiene moves, to call for a College song, to push student rehabilitation investigations, were made at the last Stud. Ass. Exec. meeting.

Dr. Hubert Smith's crowded lecture on venereal disease has prompted Exec. members to take up seriously the suggested formation of a Personal Hygiene Association here. Would be on the lines of well-known American society of same name. "Salient" may be able to report progress next issue.

College Song Wanted.

Lack of suitable College songs, inefficacy of "O Victoria Sempiterna" and "Absent Friends" being generally recognised, led Jim Winchester to suggest annual prize for words and music. Executive decided to make it £1. Song to be suitable for singing at undergraduates' supper. Composers and authors should let the Executive have their essays at once.

Canterbury College Radical Club wrote asking whether we sported a similar society here. Proposed "arch-congress" of like organisations. Exec. members pointed out that the first clause of the constitution of the society in question said something about "war" being "the chief enemy of mankind." We are to write back that we happen to think it is Hitler.

Affiliation Sought.

An application for affiliation by the required number of 25 students for a society calling itself the V.U.C. Society for Closer Cultural Relations with New Zealand was received. Objection was taken to the name. Some Exec. members thought it was a leg-pull. Others spoke about a matter of taste. Decided to refer the application back with a request that the name be reconsidered, though it was felt that if the prospective members were keen such a society could do good work.

University Students' Conference.
