Lincoln quota unchanged

The quota of first-year overseas students to be admitted to Lincoln College next year has been set at 30. The college council has been told that the limit set for this year would be continued. The number of overseas students to be admitted for four diploma courses at the college will also be unchanged at 60. The principal (Professor J. D. Stewart) said that in recent years all these places had not been filled. Beacuse of the Government’s decision to impose a $l5OO fee on overseas students, the num-

■ bers applying for next’ year > might decline further. , Most first-year students ' would come from Malaysia,; he said. The number of post- ; : graduate students to be : admitted, on whom there is' s no limit, will be 68. f Professor Stewart said • China would probably send i two graduates for about four. I months for training associ-i ated with the mode! farm to . be established by New Zea- '■ • land agricultural consultants. ; He did not expect that in : the near future formal tuii tion would be given to stu-, i dents from China, which he ■ visited recently.
