MORE SUBJECTS ADDED TO LAW COURSE
-Presa Assoeiation.)
(By Telegraph-
AUCKLAND, Last Night. By the addition of three more cultural subjects to the bachelor of laws degree in the University of New Zealand, the course has beem lengthenedby at least bne year. Students who began the course before 1938 are allowed two years to eomplete the degree. It is likely that a petition will be presented to the senate by students, asking that the period of grace be extended. Students interviewed in Auckland said that in their opinion fche new regulation was sponsored by the Law Society and had as its main objective a reduction in the number bf passes into an already overcrowded profession. • ■ In explaining the position, Professor R. M. Algie, Dean of the Faculty of Law at University College, said that the introduction of additional arts subjects was based on the ground that the law course as it stood made insttfficient provision for- purely cultural subjects.
