Arrogant

The arrogant puerility of his big-boyness must amuse many who prefer to forget the Arts Festival fiascos that have been held in Auckland; the regular complete wipe-out of Auckland sports teams by Otago sportsmen; the fact that Auckland, the biggest university in New Zealand, had to have its levies paid (for several years) by other universities because of the financial bungling which so often put the A.U.S.A. in the pooh; and last of all, that Auckland students stage incredibly boring filibustering sessions at NZUSA council meetings.

Otago has come out with some honest and pragmatic parochialism and the fact that the other universities are only prepared to respect their own parochialism, is an indictment of the superficial co-operation existing between constituent members of the NZUSA.
