Education cuts rally
Sir, — Replying to one point in Deryck J. Shaw’s letter (April 24), I would say to him that universities have already become the playgrounds for some rich students. How else can he explain the mentality of the country’s so-called “brains,” when they can refrain from owning up to throwing paper darts around the lecture rooms, thus making 250 students miss a complete lecture period? Is this what the taxpayers of New Zealand are-pay-ing for? And what of all the drinking that goes on in the so-called Church-controlled halls of residence? Surely the bursaries must be overpaid, if the poor students can afford such luxurious hobbies, instead of concentrating on their studies, which I pre-
sume is the aim of most of them attending such institutions. There will always be those dissastisfied with their lot, but students have never had it so good. — Yours, etc., A, C. RAYNER.
