Liquor At University
The question of whether it would be proper for the Auckland University College professional board to grant permission for alcoholic liquor to be consumed at college functions, such as the Graduation Ball and the After Degree Ball, was the subject of a legal opinion received by the college council recently. “The prohibition is a wide one,” stated the opinion, “but it applies only to cases where a dance is being held.” The president of the council, Mr W. H. Cocker, emphasised that the seeking of a legal opinion did not imply that the council was in favour of liquor at college functions. Salvation Army Bands There are 55 Salvation Army bands in New Zealand, stated Brigadier H. Goffin, inspector of bands for the army at the public welcome in Tauranga on Wednesday to Commissioner Randolph Astbury & Mrs Astbury. There were 1000 Salvation Army bandsmen in New Zealand and at the band championships held recently at Wanganui 12 bandmasters competed who had received their training in Salvation Army bands. The Salvation Army, he stated, had contributed largely towards the brass band movement in New Zealand.
