N.Z.U.S.A. Co-operates

Mr. J. B. C. Taylor, president of N.Z.U.S.A., gave proof of his co-operation by presenting the schedule and statement drawn up by N.Z.U.S.A. for presentation to the Director of Stabilisation. These documents, giving full details of the changes in fees and of the effects on students, had been referred to the Price Tribunal, said Mr. Taylor. The Price Tribunal, which nominally governs charges made for goods and services, is at present seeking a decision from the Solicitor-General as to whether this covers examination fees.

Mr. Taylor stressed the desirability of having some active student organisation which could act as a link between the individual student and the Executive. At present the apathy of the students has allowed a trend in University affairs which permits certain governing bodies of this institution to treat the students as secondary school pupils.

Mr. Campbell then presented for the committee a detailed plan of campaign.
