Radio Diary ...
“Campus,” National Radio’s weekly programme about people, activities and trends in New Zealand’s tertiary learning places, gets under way for 1987 with the first programme at 8.35 p.m. today. The programme focuses on the Wellington area and is introduced by Debbie Gee.
Jack Shallcrass will talk this evening to the Minister of Education, Mr Marshall, about his priorities in education and will seek his reaction to the claim that School Certificate examination changes will result in a lowering of over-all standards. “Education Policy — an Overview,” Concert Programme, 9 p.m.
The second programme in the new National Radio series, “The Furrowed Brow,” can be heard at 7.05 on Saturday morning. The series looks at the
changes taking place in New Zealand’s rural sector and the steps rural people are taking to cope. People who make their living in or from the countryside have their say, including some who have decided to leave the land, others who have diversified their production in order to survive, and those dealing with the corporatisation of State industries.
A programme first broadcast on January 23 created such interest that it is being repeated. “The Shaky Capital” recalls the earthquake that devastated the fledgling municipality of Wellington on January 23, 1855 — the most severe earthquake known in New Zealand in historic times.
In this programme, John Joyce talks with a D.S.I.R. geologist, Dr Graeme Stevens, and Mr Tom McDonald, of Civil Defence, about the quake
and the likely effects of earthquakes in the Wellington area. (National Programme, Saturday 9.05 a.m., repeated on Tuesday, 9.05 p.m.) Coincidentally, civil defence will be one of the topics on Mike Minehan’s programme on Radio Avon this afternoon. The programme will look at how well prepared we are to cope with emergencies. In another segment, Ms Penny Fenwick, deputy secretary of the Ministry of Women’s Affairs, will discuss the ministry’s progress, policies and plans. A lawyer, Ms Caroline Risk, will be a guest tomorrow afternoon. She will give a woman’s view of the legal profession. The guests on “Private Faces” on Saturday evening are the Member of Parliament for Sydenham, Mr Jim Anderton, and his wife Carole. —John Hickey
