Description

Justice and Jellybeans. From Ulster Policeman to Otago University Proctor, Ron Chambers. Signed by the Author. 'Ron Chamber's life has hardly been lacking in drama and excitement and even. at times, danger. The story of his childhood in working-class Protestant East Belfast, his marriage to Ann and his blooding as a young RUC constable at the start of "the troubles" fills the early chapters of this remarkable memoir. His life took a decisive turn in 1973 when the young family left the sectarian violence of Northern Ireland behind them and emigrated to New Zealand. Chambers did a stint as a policeman and drug company rep in Dunedin before landing the job that would occupy - and fascinate - him for the next 21 years: proctor at the University of Otago. The author's recollections of his time as proctor form an alternative history of the university in the heady days of the 1980s and '90s. Capping stunts, Orientation hi jinks, student protests and Registry sit-ins, skyrocket wars and inter-college skirmishes are all described from a proctor's-eye view.'
