Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 2. 1966.

[introduction]

Victoria's student-made film is in serious difficulties following its failure to win a subsidy from the University Council.

Just over two years ago the executive unanimously approved in principle a proposal to make a documentary film on student and university life. The object in producing such a film was mainly for public relations uses.

In April of 1965 Derek Morion, a WNTV1 [unclear: technician], took over control of the technical side of the work, assisted by two students, Neil Whitehead and Charles Bagnall.

On their own initiative the film-makers obtained a grant of £25 each from Glaxo Laboratories and from Tasman Vaccine Laboratories. With a Students' Association grant of £50 the total income to date is £100, while the budgeted expenditure for completion, expected initially for March, 1966, is £270.

This budget will not have to be exceeded, but because of a "show me" attitude on the part of most business firms in town no further funds have been procured.
