ANU debate on post graduate training stirs quiet clash
The Australian National University faces a subtle dispute between the School of General Studies and the Institute of Advanced Studies over post graduate training. Discussions center on PhD and MA allocations, funding, and potential creation of a third board to oversee all post graduate studies and scholarships. Sir Mark Oliphant’s letter backs the Institute’s traditional role in PhD research. A National minority stance favors broader exam based PhD awards. The controversy coincides with staged cooperation across departments amid calls to regularise arrangements.

Dos and Donts Form Pushers Amid Loose Text
Fragmentary OCR notes show references to pushers and a list titled The Dos and Don'ts. Content is garbled, unreadable, and lacks clear persons, organizations, places, dates, or concrete events to form a coherent newspaper item. The readable fragments suggest a feature or guide but provide no actionable facts.
51 Die on the Roads and Forgeries Scheme Uncovered
Detectives report renewed instructions to pushers employed as commission agents to forge currency. Agents earned 3 to 5 dollars per 10 dollar forgery and faced quotas. Notes were to be accounted for by a Wednesday settler. A national road toll warning cites NSW and Victoria totals during Christmas, with the figure likely to surpass last year’s 3,000 deaths.
