ADDITIONAL STUDIES
Each student is expected to devote his full time to his college course and is not permitted to embark on any additional study, unless approval is obtained for this at the beginning of the college year. The only per- mission normally granted is for one matriculation subject for special pur- poses in either year of the two-year course. This permission will be with- drawn if the student's college work is being affected.
BOOK SALES
All books and materials required for college courses are available from the Melbourne University Press bookroom. At the beginning of the year a depot of M.U.P. is set up at college in room Ni.
Later purchases must be made at the main bookroom in the university grounds.
CAFETERIA
Light refreshments and lunches may be bought at reasonable prices in the college cafeteria which opens daily. Those who use the cafeteria should co-operate with the management so that the best service may be provided for the greatest numbers.
CAR PARKING
No parking facilities are available for students in the college grounds.
In special circumstances, temporary permission may be granted to an individual by the principal. There is restricted parking in Grattan Street and Swanston Street but, generally, it is difficult to obtain parking space in the vicinity of the college.
DRESS AT COLLEGE
A degree of informality is permitted. However, extremes of style are not acceptable. The criteria: moderation, neatness, general grooming.
IN THE SCHOOLS
Informal wear permitted in college could be inappropriate in the professional situation in the schools. Students will be guided here by discussion with their tutors before they go out to schools. At all times they must meet the requirements of the headmasters of the schools.

All members of clubs are expected to wear the appropriate dress of their club.

library borrowings
distribution of allowance cheques payment of college fees
transaction of business with the college sub-branch of the Commercial Bank of Australia Limited
receipt of discounts allowed to college students by commercial business houses.

MEDICAL ADVICE
The college doctor may be visited by appointment. She will discuss with students any problems or worries they may have about their general health and well-being. Such discussions are confidential; actual medical treatment is not given but is arranged for when circumstances warrant it.
MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS
Students are medically examined and undergo X-ray tests on two occasions—before entering on the course and again at the end of the course. These examinations determine their fitness for teaching and eligibility to participate in the State Superannuation Scheme.
PUBLICATIONS
The recognized voices of student expression are Trainee and Gruen.
Trainee is the annual magazine which appears in December. It is intended to represent a cross-section of the best college thought in the field of creative writing.
Griffin is the college newspaper which is issued once or twice each term.
It surveys the current scene in articles grave and gay, and welcomes the free and reasonable statement of public opinion on all matters which.
affect college welfare.
Tutor .News-Sheet is published weekly. It is used to give information to staff and students on current and forthcoming events, and matters of administration.

STUDY WEEK
The week preceeding the annual examinations is set aside for study purposes. During this week students are freed from lecture commitments to enable them to prepare for the examinations. They are required to remain in contact with the college throughout study week.
TELEPHONE
Public telephones for the convenience of students are installed in the following places:
(i) in the porch of the lecture block to the north of the cafeteria (ii) just inside the main entrance at Faraday Street.
TIMETABLES
Lecture timetables at this college are complicated, because of the number of courses conducted, the continual movement of students from college to schools and the rest rictions imposed by the accommodation of educational groups which meet at the college, owing to its central situation.
There may be several timetable changes during the year, so students are advised to consult the notice boards regularly to check lecture locations.
TUTORS
In a large college it becomes impossible for all members of staff and all students to know one another and to establish the friendly relationships and mutual understandings which make for harmonious and effective col- lege life. To help overcome this deficiency, tutors take charge of relatively small groups of students, known as tutor groups.
Groups meet weekly to discuss topics of common interest and attend to matters of college business. The tutor, who is a staff member, is always available for private interview to advise on personal problems, and to assist where there are troubles and difficulties.
WORKERS' COMPENSATION
Every student is covered under the provisions of the act for injuries received or certain illnesses sustained while on duty or when travelling to or from duty. If the disability is considered to be covered by the act, expenses incurred in treatment are paid and days of absence incurred are
not deducted from sick leave credits.
A student injured while travelling to or from college or on official business should report the accident and/or injury to the General Office.
The college 'Report of Injury' form must be completed in detail.
If the injury is such that medical attention is required, whether time is lost or not, two extra forms must be submitted.
t. 'Employer's Report of Injury'
2. 'Claim for Compensation by Injured Worker'
It is the responsibility of the student to complete this form, attaching a medical certificate to support the statements made in it. Unless this form is complete in all details the State Accident Insurance Office will not pay the expenses incurred.
