Easter Time For National Talks

The three major organisations—New Zealand University Students' Association, New Zealand University Sports Union, New Zealand University Student Press Council—will convene over the Easter break to discuss next year's events and make recommendations for the 1963-64 term. Delegates from all the New Zealand universities and colleges will be attending this meeting.

Last year's NZUSA Council discussed accounts and budgets, reviewed negotiations with the Government on the Fees and Bursaries question, heard many of reports made policy on relations with overseas student organisations.

Relations with Resident Executive came into question. The council "noted with concern" the lack of preliminary reports on budgets, accounts and overseas travel. Otago felt that too great a burden of work was placed on Res Exec, cited delays in the publication of 1961 Winter Council minutes and other reports.

Two important sub-committees were set up. A Finance sub-committee under Treasurer Cherry Pointon was directed to look into budget and accounts and report back to council. An NZUSA balance sheet and statement of account was adopted on the report of this sub-committee, but this does not appear in the council's minutes.
