Students Comment
The University of Canterbury Students' Association welcomed the tabling of the Royal Society’s report on the Omega navigation system in Parliament as it “certainly justified many of the initial doubts we had raised in late June,” said the secretary of the Omega Action Committee (Mr K. P. Ross) last evening. “It would seem the society's report should have obtained more evidence relating to the military aspects as this was one of our primary doubts,” he said. “The report does not seem completely to have answered our doubts on this aspect particularly when it states, ‘We doubt that it would really be useful exclusively to one side in war time.’ ” The committee said It welcomed Mr Kirk's point that he would be at least partially satisfied with any Omega station in New Zealand being “entirely owned and manned and operated by the partner nations.”
