Information Officer

The University has appointed an "Information Officer" to aid communication between its various parts.

Mr Kim Keane, a senior subeditor at the Dominion, has received the job.

He has a degree in science and an interest in languages.

His experience in journalism includes work in both Australia and Now Zealand, and as a war correspondent in the Pacific.

Mr Keane is not yet sure exactly what his job will entail. This will probably emerge from the first months in the job.

He says it is likely that an administration information bulletin will be produced.

The Chancellor of the University, Mr R. S. V. Simpson, said that Mr Keane's was "the ideal appointment".
