Orientation was 2 weeks of very busy work for VUWSA, as for any student association around the country, and I know for certain that VUWSA pres Nick Kelly was pretty close to a good 3-day lie-down when the march took place. Grateful thanks to Nandor, for trying, and Keith, for adressing the crowd, also to NZUSA co-pres' and past pres' who were in attendance. Greens were amongst the students marching, and not all are under 25! Watch this space, Vic students will be paying 10% more for Arts & post-grad courses from mid-year, if TEC approves the Vice-Chancellor's proposal, so there will be more protests. Allowances will be an issue again this year, too, due to changes in the age-testing criteria.

Some people did the organising, banners were made, and students came to the protest. That is more than many of the "current generation" would do. Hopefully those who came enjoyed the experience, will talk about it, and come another time ... bringing their friends! Stuey:
