Auckland Students Will Stand For City

Salient Reporter

Auckland students will stand in City Council elections under the banner of the Independent Civic Action Party.

Two candidates will stand. Mr. Dick Wood, chairman of the campaign committee and incoming Auckland president, is optimistic that at least one student will be elected if enough campaign work is done.

Mr. Wood told Salient that the campaign will stress the need for action by the city council on projects which have "been around for some time."

His Worship the Mayor of Auckland, Mr. D. M. Robinson, is in favour of the scheme.

He told a reporter for Outspoke, Auckland's Sunday student paper, that he thought it quite refreshing that young people were prepared to take an interest.
