Eleven Lectures

Eleven Lectures

The final Congress programme will consist of 11 lectures spread over the week, with various other functions, official and unofficial, taking place in between, At the the end of the week there will be the annual congress forum which gives students the opportunity to discuss problems of particular interest to students. Resolutions emerging from this forum are referred to N.Z.U.S.A. for action—if any. The opening of the Congress will be a talk by Sir George Currie, the Vice-chancellor of the University of New Zealand.

Among the entertainments planned will be an all-day cruise to Ship's Cove for a picnic, and in the evening following there will be a fancy-dress dance, and then a barbecue. While the cruise and picnic are on, there will also be a fishing trip for those who wish for more variety. A couple of films will be hired, and it is hoped that a short one-act play will be presented. It is also hoped that members of the Victoria Jazz group will be able to entertain at Congress. As for the rest, there will be ample time for swimming, sunbathing, bush walks, sports such as volley ball and archery, probably water skiing. Accommodation and meals are very good, and most civilised amenities are available.

Curious Cove is managed by Mr and Mrs Manning who have catered for Congress since the beginning, in 1949. The Cove is a secluded spot, about an hour by launch from Picton. The dates are January 20 to 27.
