Exchange students
shortchanged

By J. C, GRAHAM

CP Correspondent

AUCKLAND, N.Z. (CP) —
An unpleasant surprise
greeted a group of 28
Canadian students arriving
in New Zealand in late May.

There seems to have been
a breakdown in com-
munication somewhere.
They arrived expecting to
find vacation jobs awailing
them—but found no
guarantee of jobs at all.

The students said they had
been told they could choose
among 150 jobs on arrival.

They came to New Zealand
on a three-month exchange
program arranged between
the Association of Student
Councils of Canada (ACSC)
and the New Zealand Student
Travel Bureau. —

One student, Hugh Tye,
from - University of
Manitoba, Winnipeg, said he
and other students had been
told by a representative of

AOSC that there would be a
list of jobs in New Zealand.
But when they arrived there
was no list and no guarantee
of jobs.

Tye said some of the
students were really upset.
They had money for only a
few weeks. Some would have
come anyway, but others
hadn't enough money to stay
for long. Several had spread
out over the country in
search of work,

NO GUARANTEES

The director of the New
New Zealand Student Travel
Bureau, David Cuthbert,
said he could not understand
why the Canadian students
were told there would be jobs
waiting. Such guarantees
had never been given in the
past. He had sent a cable to
AOSC asking for information
on the matter.

Cuthbert said jobs were
arranged for New Zealand
students going to Canada on

exchange because that was
the only wa way they could get'a
work_per

All the Student Travel
Bureau contracted to do for
Canadian students was to
supply them with two nights’
accommodation and in-
formation on accom-
modation, taxation, social
security and accident com-
pensation benefits. In-
formation was given on
possible jobs, but with no

In any case, he said,
visiting students usually
wanted to move around the
country to see as much as
possible in the time
available, so they did not
want permanent work. The
bureau was prepared to
make ioans available to any
in financial trouble.

BAD. THIS YEAR

Possibly the problem has
arisen because the em-
ployment situation is more

- guarantee.

difficult this year than ever
in the last generation. New
Zealand is one of the few
countries which has never
experienced any significant
level of unemployment since
the Second World War—
until this year.

The figure still is low by.

world standards-less than
three per cent of the work
force—but this is far higher
than most young New
Zealanders have ever
It may become more severe
in the next few months
during the Southern
Hemisphere winter.

In the past, people with
determination and energy
have usually been able to
find work-—indeed, there
have normally been more
vacancies than people to fill
them, But this year there is
real difficulty in finding
work.
