Waikato University halls of residence campaign by King Koroki and members of his family. The presentation took place during this year's celebration at Turangawaewae marking the anniversary of the coronation of King Koroki. At the invitation of King Koroki and his people, members of the staff of Waikato University paid a formal visit to Turangawaewae, accompanied by 20 Maori university graduates, all wearing full academic dress. Their visit demonstrated the regard of the University for the Maori people, and the Maori recognition of the value and the role of the university. Dr Rogers was also presented with a carved pouwhenua which will be the official mace at university ceremonies. Miss Marama Koea (see photo, right), is the second Maori to become a television announcer, and the first to be seen in Wellington (Miss Tui Uru, of Christchurch was the first in New Zealand). Miss Koea is a daughter of Mr and Mrs George Koea of New Plymouth, members of Te Ati Awa. She first trained as a teacher, and taught in many parts of the North Island and in England. About seven years ago, Miss Koea started part-time announcing with the N.Z.B.C. in New Plymouth, and a couple of years later she decided to become a full-time announcer. She says that she very much enjoys television announcing—‘It was terrifying the first night, but I'm used to it now, and I love it.’ Marama Koea has a sister, Moana, who is a physiotherapist, and a brother, George, who is assistant to the editor of the ‘Taranaki Daily News’, and who a few years ago studied journalism and broadcasting in England on an Imperial Relations Trust Bursary. A nineteen-year-old apprentice electrician, Eric Beazley (right), of Rawene, Bay of Islands, gained top marks (96 per cent) in the practical section of the Electricians' Registration Board examinations in May. This outstanding achievement won him a gold medal award by the British Cable Manufacturers' Association. Eric is the son of Mr Hirini (Syd) Beazley and Mrs Parani Beazley, of the Nga Puhi tribe. He attended the Rawene District High School for four years, then in 1963 became an electrical trainee at the Auckland Technical photo by Evening Post, Wellington photo by the Auckland Star
