Autonomy Day Procession

Newcastle University College students’ celebration of Autonomy Day will start this morning with a procession in Hunter-street.

The procession including floats, bands and students in colourful dress will leave Pacific-street about 11 a.m. it will move to No. 2 Sportsground along Hunter and Steel Streets.
The situation in Kuwait and the credit squeeze will be among the subjects lampooned on floats. One float will portray the French Revolution, a scene from the College revue.

Students will collect along the procession route for aboriginal scholarship and distribute copies of the College magazine “Opus”.

It is believed some students have organised “unofficial” stunts to take place after the procession.
The College fancy-dress cabaret. “Saturnalian Revels”, will be held tonight.
