Arties for Little Congress

Little Congress for 1969 will be an arts congress. It will centre around music, poetry, drama and art.

Speakers invited include Robin Maconie (music), Richard Campion (drama), James K. Baxter (poetry), John Drawbridge (art), Tanya Ashten (sculpture), Maria la Hood (creative dancer and yoga) and others.

"Features are being constantly added to the programme", said Helen McGrath, Cultural Affairs Officer, who is organising the weekend.

"Speakers have promised to be outrageously and scandalous", she said, "so if you don't like intellectual stimulation come anyway just for kicks".

The congress is from Thursday evening to Saturday afternoon at the Otaki Camp.

"Anyone with a capacity for thinking or unpremeditated action will be an asset", Miss McGrath emphasised.

"Freshers and overseas students are particularly welcome."

Application forms are available at the Students' Association office, where the $5 fee is also payable.
