ISC is here again! ISC is an annual event for local and overseas students to get together and share experiences and ideas, socialise and have an enjoyable time. This year’s ISC will be held in the Club and Societies Building at Otago University, Dunedin. The main theme this year is the future of overseas students in New Zealand.’

What has ISC got to offer? An invaluable opportunity for local and overseas students from all over New Zealand to meet and discuss their views on issues that concern their welfare and other international issues. Forums, workshops and speakers to widen the scope of participants’ understanding and thus gain a perspective which will help in their awareness of some of the most pressing problems of the world. Increased awareness can also help strengthen one’s commitment to being involved in activities and organisations that are involved in raising awareness and finding solutions to these problems.

Craccum May 4 1982 • 15 How to Survive a Direct Nuclear Attack — Kiss Your Ass Goodbye The first part of this article, published in CRACCUM last week, examined the possibilities of Nuclear War and its likely effects on New Zealand. This was based on a report by the Commission for the Future (C.F.F.) which described how a major Nuclear War would devastate the Northern Hemisphere and parts of Australia. However the report continues that: “New Zealand’s position in the world gives it the opportunity to avoid the worst consequences of a Northern Hemisphere Nuclear War.” To avoid these consequences the report advocates advanced ‘Protective’ planning and outlines measures New Zealand could take now to maximise our survival chances. Assuming the New Zealand government takes no action, which seems likely after Mr Muldoon’s reactions to the report, then individuals can make some simple preparations for a Nuclear Disaster. These were summarised in last week’s article, or a more detailed description may be obtained from Nick Wilson, P.O. Box 6117, Auckland. Although the C.F.F. considers a major nuclear attack on N.Z. to be unlikely it would be “...incomparably the worst disaster which could befall this country.” A reactor meltdown on board a visiting nuclear powered warship could also release large amounts of Map showing effects of two possible Nuclear attacks on Auckland : a 1-kilotonne ground level blast at Devenport and radioactive material though blast a 1-megatonne air blast over the city.
