Resident Executive

Among the topics discussed by New Zealand University Students' Association was a proposed amendment to existing N.Z.U.S.U. rules on Drama Festival entries which would increase the length and cast of plays submitted.

An enthusiastic report on the recent Press Congress was made by Mr Billing, who said that the Congress was extremely worthwhile and will probably be repeated next year. The forthcoming debating tour of Australia was also discussed. A team of three debaters will be representing N.Z.U. S.A. at the Australian Universities Debating Festival to be held in Melbourne from August 14 to 22. The team will also visit other centres and compete against some of the top university teams in Australia.

Among correspondence between N.Z.U.S.A. and other national student organisations were some letters expressing dissatisfaction with restrictions placed by the government on some student activities. The Haiti student situation was discussed sympathetically and It was decided that an official letter of support should be sent to the students.
