Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 8. August 3, 1959
Students Should pay more fees. Says Auckland
Students Should pay more fees. Says Auckland
Not satisfied with the U.N.Z.'s Senate decision Not to increase fees for students repeating subjects, the University of Auckland have come along with the suggestion that lecture fees be increased.
The matter was referred to the Victoria University Council at last week's meeting for its consideration. Council referred it to the professorial board, where, if it gets the same close scrutiny the last attempt to screen fees got, it should be disposed of in short order.
The previous suggestion, agreed the council and the board, was unfair to students under the present under-staffing, under-housed conditions. This must equally well apply to an increase in fees.
That feeling was borne out by remarks of the vice-chancellor, Dr. J. Williams, at the council meeting.
Asked student rep., John Marchant, if the Auckland letter gave any specific reasons for their request.
Said Dr. Williams: No.
Said Marchant: Oh, I thought they might.
Said Williams: One shouldn't expect that from Auckland.
Dr. Williams: attention was called to the presence of the Press. Dr. Williams smiled.
