Yes.

1. (a) The University of the North.
2. (b) 1st January, 1971.
3. (c) To make students conversant with the aims of the University and with certain rights and responsibilities of students as members of the University community.
4. (d) The import of the declaration is as follows:
   A University besides being an institution for higher education and research is also a community consisting of three groups of persons: the teaching staff, the administrative staff and the students. If one or more of these groups refuse to recognize the University and to partake in the normal activities of the University, this community is assailed in its very nature. The Council cannot therefore allow students to join this community who are not prepared to associate themselves with the University and who participate in activities implying a rejection of the University. If it should appear that a student does not fulfil this requirement he will have to leave the campus immediately.
   The University declares in the statement its willingness to support and protect with all the means at its disposal, those students who associate themselves unreservedly with the University; who want to study in peace; and who wish to respect the confidence placed in them by their parents or guardians.
   The student declares that he wishes to be accepted as a student and that he has read this statement and understands it fully, and that he undertakes to abide by it.

The University of the North has not been singled out by anybody, but has decided on its own to do this.

Those students who were prepared to abide by the regulations signed the declaration.

Yes.

1. (1)

      (i) and (ii) The Administration of South-West Africa introduced a house owner scheme for officers and employees in its service, with effect from the 1st April, 1969. Basically the scheme entails the grant of loans to a maximum of R16 000, at 5 per cent interest over periods of up to 40 years. The loans are repayable in monthly instalments. As security for a loan an applicant is required to pass a first mortgage bond for the full amount of the loan in favour of the Administration and to enter into an agreement with the Administration to the effect that on termination of services any pension, salary or other moneys due to the borrower shall be utilized for the redemption or partial redemption of the loan.

District Surgeons are responsible for the medical examination and treatment of police officials and their dependants. The Department has not issued any further instructions to District Surgeons in respect of police officials.

2. (2) Inquiries established that the nondelivery of the aircraft spares to S.A. Airways was due to—
   1. (a) the cases containing the spares being shipped devoid of shipping marks;
   2. (b) the bill of lading being incorrectly drawn up, showing the cases as being duly marked; and
   3. (c) the weight of the cases being shown incorrectly on the bill of lading.

Negotiations resulted in the firm of purchasing and shipping agents concerned acquiring the spares from Messrs. Macys Limited, Durban, and delivering them to S.A. Airways on 5th November, 1970, after they had been tested and found to be technically in perfect working condition.

The matter has, therefore, been finalized without any financial loss to the Administration or to the State.

1. (1) Yes, by way of a Press report.
2. (2) Yes. I had it investigated.
3. (3) No, except to state that interviews the police had with certain individuals at Newcastle, had nothing to do with the proposed rezoning as such.

No. The following are, however, details of some of the more important measures introduced to increase general operating speed over existing lines and the carrying capacity of such lines:
