"Own-Your-Own"

Admittedly, there was some important material in the letters. One concerned one of the many difficulties—one of the minor difficulties at that—caused by our new Palmerston North University College.

To whom will the new students belong? Are they to be controlled from Victoria by our Association, or from Massey?

To begin with, all subjects at the new university will be at Stage One level only. There will, therefore, be no experienced students there.

It was quickly pointed out that Palmerston is 100 miles away.

Further, it was felt Massey needed an infusion of strength. Mr Brooker felt that Massey had been ignored when the new college was founded.

That, unfortunately, is not the point. The new college will be controlled from here by the University Council, hence the Palmerston students by our Association, whether we like it or not, until they can take care of themselves.

As it is, Exec "agrees in principle" to control from Massey. Poor old Exec.

Wrong again.
