Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z Vol. 7, No. 9 September 13, 1944
[Introduction]
The N.Z.U.S.A. recently made a co-operative move in asking Mr. H. L. Bockett, Controller of Manpower, to address their annual conference. In return Mr. Bockett made a full and informative statement on the obligations of university students for war-time service. This, unfortunately, is too long to print in full; we present the more important sections together with a table showing the allocation of students during the 1943-1944 vacation.
The obligations of university students for war-time service are twofold. There is the liability under the National Service Emergency Regulations. 1940, of male students for service in the Armed Forces, and there is also the liability under the Industrial Manpower Emergency Regulations, 1944, of all persons, male or female, and irrespective of age for direction to work of national importance.
