Postponements Granted

The calling-up of an assistant lecturer in the English department at the University of Canterbury, P. A. Simpson, was postponed for 12 months by the Military Training Postponement Committee on Tuesday. Simpson said his training had been postponed several times, but always for a different reason. He would be giving two lectures and five tutorials each week during the university year. Professor J. C. Garrett said the department could not afford to lose Simpson.
