Antman dtesetisfied with awards made by the Chanceilor (Mr C. H. Perttas) and the VfceChanrelior (Dr. L. L. Pownail) under the dedaton that they alone should decide differentials in salaries, will have the usual rights of appeal under the University of Canterbury Act. Mr Perkins said this in answer to questions by the Rev. W. M. Heodrie at a meeting of the university ccuncii. Mr Hendria said that st its last meeting the coundi was told there would bo no right of appeal. But the council was responsible to »U Us cnoatdtuentß. If there was no right of appeal, the whoto f unetton of the council was in doubt. Mr Hsndrie said he con-

ceded that 99 per cent of the work on these decisions might be done by the committee of two, but appenl to the council on ail matters seemed to be provided in the act. . Mr Perkins said that in this context he had given the wrong answer at the previous meeting- Right of formal appeal certainly existed under the act. What he had meant was that the council as a whole would not enter into discussion of individual awards.
