Roger Martin Education Officer
Roger Martin Education Officer
Nominated: G. Davis.
Seconded: J. W. Thomson, B. Mulligan.
Policy Statement
As Education Officer I shall concentrate on three well defined objectives:
(1) The abolition of the foreign language requirement for B.A. degree.
(2) The diminution of the weight given to formal end-of-year examinations in final gradings.
(3) The further exploration of the possibilities for greater staff-student contact, especially at the departmental level.
I am this year studying Geography II, Sociology I and History [unclear: a] and hope to major in Geography. Last year I was at Wellington Teachers College and therefore have a fair background of the general aims of the educational process in the modern world.
Policy: as for presidency.
Nominated: J. W. Barwick.
Seconded: D. Turkington, J. V. Fugler.
