Student Congress
Student Congress
The annual get-[unclear: together] of NZ students will be held, as last year, at Curious Cove. The date has not yet been fixed, but will be printed as soon as it is known.
The quotas are AUC 30 students, OU 35, CUC 30 and VUC 45-50. The total you can count yourself.
It will cost—according to the latest estimate—about £6/10/- for You to go to Congress this year.
And when you do get there, what is there to do with yourself? The programme is roughly like this:
The general theme of the whole Congress is "Modern Trends". Every speaker will treat of recent trends in his own particular field. The guests and their subjects will be—
- W. J. Scott on Literature;
- Mr Firth or Mr. Farley on Drama;
- Owen Jensen on Music, supported on another key by Professor Griffiths;
- Mr. Mirams possibly talking on Film—if he is not available this will not be included in the programme;
- E. C. Simpson on Art;
- Religious interests represented by the Rev. Bates;
- Dr. Munz on History;
- Professor Marsh will be speaking on Social Work and Professors Gabriel and Miles on Science;
- Philosophy will be discussed by Mr. Gray, while the speaker for Law has not yet been decided, with Messrs. Braybrooke and W. Leicester in the running;
- Pacificism will be dealt with by Mr. C. E. Burton.
For the whole course the "Observer" technique is to be used . . . The emphasis is on a preponderance of speakers recently returned from overseas.
