University bursaries
Sir, — Plenty could be said about the' dangers of the university becoming a circus for the elite. A worker’s son should stand just as good a chance of a university education as a farmer’s "son. I wish to make two points in relation to bursaries. In .1954 the New Zealand Student Labour Federation organised a questionnaire into the economic condition of New Zealand students. It was found even then that the economic means of students was greatly disproportionate to the cost of living. Second, before New Zealanders can have a socialist society we must have a cultural revolution. Any person who is willing to undergo a course of study at university should be paid enough to live on for as long as that person is willing to study. This should
apply especially to Maoris, other Polynesians, and people with families. — Yours, etc.. MIKE RHODES. Governor’s Bay. April 19, 1979.
