Letter: Letters : Little Green Books

Published 25 January 1997

From Ron Keam

Auckland

I have just read your item concerning the paper by Vincent, Van and Goh
(Feedback, 30 November, and Letters, 4 January, p 45). A few weeks ago when
marking the scripts from a BSc degree third-year physics paper here in Auckland,
I noticed a peculiar concatenation of certain student names that had escaped my
attention while I was presenting the course.

In this paper there were three Asian/Pacific islands students. The result, I
was gratified to realise, was that in three little green booklets (in contrast
to the original little red one) we had the collected thoughts of Ma’u, Tse and
Tung.
