Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 14, No. 3. April 5, 1951

Keeping the Door Open

Keeping the Door Open

This is an argument often used by those who wish to remain affiliated with IUS—the desirability of keeping the door open between East and West. There is no real contact between Western representatives and rank and file Czech students. "I can understand their view that it is reason for remaining in IUS but looking at it perspectively I cannot see that it is a sufficient reason." (P 36).

The Colonial Problem

Of considerable interest is the section on the Colonial Problem for it is clear that not enough is being done to educate colonial students. Living conditions are very bad and something could be done to improve the position. Salient will devote some articles to this problem during this year. Students are advised to read this report and that of Matthews, both of which are available in the Executive Room.

Conclusions and Recommendations

The report makes a number of recommendations which can be summed up by saying that Mr. Miller considers the present NZUSA policy a sound one and that affiliation would serve no useful purpose. Other matters dealt with include the expulsion of Jugoslavia, Student Unity, Czech press comments, and World Student Relief. (P 38).
