And if any records are broken in New Zealand, most TV sports addicts will remain blissfully ignorant. Don’t expect television coverage - Television New Zealand’s budget doesn’t stretch quite that far. However the New Zealand Press Association will be receiving reports from the New Zealand Universities Sports Union’s correspondent in Duisburg. “Universiade won’t be recognised in this country until we send bigger teams. And that won’t happen until we have the funding of national sports organisations behind us,” said NZUSU executive director, Roger Wood. It’s not only the athletes who must be financed. Living in the Games village with them will be the New Zealand officials: team manager Stephen Dawe, a doctor, an amourer for the fencers and a journalist.

Let’s hear it for NZ Music. , .

IN 1987 all sectors of the industry voted to institute a VOLUNTARY NZ MUSIC QUOTA and to review it after 12 months. W hat happened? In 1989 the radio quota is "a sick joke" (Metro — May issue). There is no New Zealand product in the sales charts. Unlike a television quota, A NZ music quota on radio would cost nothing. Karen Hay: "You can wake up in New Zealand, turn on the radio and not even know you're in your own country." Hon. Mike Moore: "W hat we need to do is to set up the conditions for you to get on with the job." CLIP THIS COUPON — send it to the PM. Parliament Building, Wellington.

■ mêt jm Jem jmr jmr jw 4r mr jmr jm a Dear Prime Minister, Clearly, the radio stations have been unable to keep their promise and play ten per cent NZ music. Therefore we ask you to legislate a 20% quota on NZ music on radio. This is the agreement that was made in 1987. It will cost nothing and put us on a par with Australia. The NZ Music Promotion Committee said a voluntary radio quota would work. They have shown that it is a total failure. It's time our own culture was given a fair deal.
