Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 7, No. 10 October 4, 1944

More Money—or Else

More Money—or Else

The dispute in Western Australia was on a more material issue. The Western Australian University is a growing college in a growing state. It is understaffed, is short of cash, has no student representation on the Senate. This year the situation became so acute that the present staff could not cope with the increased classes.

A special meeting, however, succeeded in pressing the Senate into activity. These august gentlemen were so impressed that they arranged to have the state grant increased—immediately, in order to facilitate an increase in the teaching staff. However, it seems that Western Australia breeds a fighting type of student, because the latest issue of their journal bears the caption "What is Needed—Now."

E. S. Andrews, adventure-loving author of "Close Up of Guadalcanal." has the observing eye of the experienced camera-man. He is employed in the Government Film Studios at Miramar. Wellington.
