STUDENT CONDUCT.

AUTHORITIES TO EE FIRM. CHECK ON ACTIVITIES. ' % The future organisation of university gatherings in Wellington will be subject to guarantees of good behaviour. There has been sorno comment lately on the conduct of students at the social gatherings held in connection with the inter-university tournament last. Easier. The chairman of the Professorial Board of Victoria University College (Professor \V. H. Could) informed the Victoria College Council at its last mooting that the hoard and the students themselves hail the matter in hand. Extreme disciidinarv measures would lie taken to deal with any students who failed to observe the canons of decent behaviour. Professor Could remarked that the Students' Association had already taken ai'lion on its own initiative re-' gai'ding some of its members, and \va • determined to assist the hoard in every way. The hoard, lie said, was seriously eonsidering whether it would |iermit the college to he officially assoeialcd willi any fulure tourtia- I iiifiit. \! all events, it was determined tluil uiiless_soei.it fixtures cmineeled with the. c.ollege could lie coll - dueled with nropriel\ Itie hoard would no] permit the holding of such gather- i ings. il was a ease of properly e inducted functions or none at all. .Professor Uould pointed out that i

the Professorial Board was quite aware of the claims of youth to a reasonable expression of youthful feelings. The recent behaviour was far from a reasonable expression, and a repetition would not be tolerated. The chief offenders were not always students. Often they were persons who had no excuse whatever, and in some cases they had never been students. It was hoped to exclude these factors from future gatherings.
