Pacific Students 'Prejudice'

Nz-Ers Chances

rARS have been expressed in some quarters in New Zealand that the increasing number of students com ing to University in the Dominion from the Pacific Islands might prejudice the chances of New Zealand scholars.

Commenting on this recently, the “New Zealand Herald” said there appeared to be no likelihood of this at present. This year there were 20 Indians, Fijians and Samoans at Auckland University, some of whom came direct from the Islands, but others of whom had received primary and secondary education in New Zealand and upon matriculation were entitled to the same right of entry to the Universi ties as New Zealand students.

Mr. L. Bintley, who hast been Fiji Gov ernment architect, has been transferred to Kenya in the same capacity. He will be succeeded in Fiji by Major Nettleton, who is still serving with the Royal Engineers.
