Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25. No. 13. 1962

Bill Dwyer

Bill Dwyer

William Dwyer's main claim to fame is as a University politician. A native of Ireland, Bill has been at University only two years, although he has been in New Zealand for eight. For five years Bill worked on the waterfront. He took an active part in the Trade Union.

University appeals to him as a place a man with ideas can benefit from.

At Vic. Bill was one of the foundation members of the Anarchists Society. The aims of Anarchists Society is to do away with all governments, of all sorts, every-where. These aims have created a considerable stir in student circles —although not everyone is in sympathy with them.

Bill's comment on the Association is that it encourages people to question values that otherwise they would mutely accept. Bill believes people should take part in everything that concerns them. "They should participate in any decision that affects them," he declared.

Bill thinks New Zealand society is becoming dangerously uniform. People should be encouraged to think critically, said Dwyer.
