STUDENTS WITH FORCES

EXAMINATION ARRANGEMENTS [per press association.] WELLINGTON, October IS. Special university ' examination arrangements for students serving with the military forces will be finally settled at. a special meeting of the University Senate, on Friday morning. The Registrar stated to-day, that special concessions would be granted to students sitting from camp, and it was probable that those students whose work was favourably reported on by their professors would be exempt from examination. Up to the present, special leave has been granted to 22 students stationed at Fort Dorset, and 1G at the Trentham Special Force camp, and about 20 students at Burnham and a similar number at Ngaruawahia will also be affected. The final figures are not yet available, because the totals are changing as more students are called up for service. .In the case of the three Special Force camps, special examination centres are being provided close to the camps, and smaller special centres are also being provided in other places, including Blenheim, for students from the nearby Air Force training school, and at Levin, for students from the Weraroa Air Force camp. The examinations will commence on Monday, October 30.
