John's trip

Victoria President John McGrath is off to London next month.

He was chosen as New Zealand's representative for the Commonwealth Students Association.

The meeting starts on the 25th of April at the Commonwealth Institute in London.

John told Salient he may include an eight day tour of Russia in his trip and will definitely come back through the United States.

"The stress will be placed on education and where developed nations can help the developing states" he said.

Students money will not be used to finance Mr. McGrath's trip. It will be paid by the organisers of the conference.
