New Guineana

Among periodical New Guineana which continues to keep up high standards are the New Guinea Quarterly, published by the Council on New Guinea Affairs, of Sydney, and the New Guinea Research Bul letins, published by the New Guinea Research Unit at the Australian National University, Canberra.

The Quarterly (it’s full name is a mouthful —New Guinea: And Aust ralia, the Pacific and South East Asia) is edited by Peter Hastings and is available by subscription at $2.80 in Australia, PNG and New Zealand, and $3.20 elsewhere, or 75c the copy. Its latest issue, No 1, Vol 9 has a long and fascinating report on what young Bougainville students think of other New Guineans and Europeans and what they think of the influence on Bougainville of the giant copper mine at Panguna.

Pupils from three schools were polled, two of them government schools located in the new town of Arawa.

Other articles in this issue deal with early contacts in the New Guinea Highlands; a non-political PNG army and a study of PNG

political parties.

The New Guinea Research Bulle tins are available at $2.00 each from the ANU Press, PO Box 4, Canberra or $lO.OO for all bulletins issued in a year. Some of the latest include Constitutional Development 1968-73 (No 51); Chimbu Family Relation ships in Port Moresby (No 52) and Money, Motivation and Cash Crop ping (No 53). The bulletins are ex cellent value at the price, and the subjects, as can be seen, are wide

ranging.
