Branch formed At a lunch hour meeting attended by more than fifty students and staff last week, a University Branch of the Queensland Association for Immigration Reform was established. The meeting, chaired by Glen Williams as an officer of the Union, began with a short outline of the activities of the Queensland Association by Mr. C. Griffin, its Hon. Treasurer. Mr. Griffin dealt with the aims and methods of the Association and assured his audience that it was only a matter of time until the White Australia policy is modified. He emphasised that modification could take place only through governmental action, and it was the function of the Associa­ tion to campaign for this. The meeting considered a Constitu­ "6.
