Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 13, No. 1. March 02, 1950

[Introduction]

Despite a tone of aloofness from real things among some of the guest speakers; despite the underhand method of Rev. Sullivan's appointment as Congress convenor; despite an epidemic of summer sickness and two wet days,—N.Z. University Students' Congress, 1950, was almost as successful as its sole predecessor of 1949.

Besides addresses and discussions on stimulating topics, the ten days were filled with swimming, rowing, bastball, table-tennis, fishing, singing (with "Kevin Barry" and "Bandiera Rossa" first favourites), lying in the sun and eating. They culminated with some responsible decisions on issues closely affecting students—reached by all the Congress in open forum. We trust NZUSA will treat them less irresponsibly than it did last year's resolutions.
