& An Example
Third Rise in Three Years—N.Z.U. Exam Fees
Will Exec and NZUSA Act?
There is no need for Salient to comment on the third increase in examination fees in three years. When students have read the following balance sheet the position of many students will be dear enough.
Salient has assumed that the student is a part-time law student. Civil service salaries are higher but this student is on the award wage.

|---|---|---|---|
| Board at Weir House or privately plus tram fares | 3 | 10 | 0 |
| Exam fees (six papers) | 6 | 0 | 0 |
| Enrolment Fees | 1 | 1 | 0 |

In the case of this law student income will not equal expenditure untill he is in his fourth year at University. Fulltime students who are on bursaries would have to earn about £75 in the long vacation. Salient will report all Executive and N.Z.U.S.A. action on this matter.
Other students in other faculties are invited to send a balance-sheet to Salient for publication.
Stop Press: An inquiry has been instituted by NZUSA, and our Executive, has written to the Registrar asking for reasons.
