The QUT[*1] (which was only the QIT[*2] when I went there early 70s) is at the end of George St - a loooong street that ends at Roma Street.

There were no actual non-academic Diplomas (although in Qld, Hons. Refec. was fairly common, especially at QU[*3])... but there were something close to 30 pubs along George St - a victim?! started at QIT and went down one side, and returned the other - a 7 oz was the only category.

I did try to suggest a 5 oz for a 'Diploma', but was laughed at...


[*1] Qld University of Technology - "A University for The Real World" (as their advertising claims).

[*2] Qld Institute of Technology - converted into a University (as were many other Institutes of Technology) by Legislative Fiat sometime after the 70s.

[*3] Qld University - "A Real University" (a political satirical response to QUT advertising!).


Readers should note that the Federal Govt now wants to start up new Institutes of Technology, as there are too many Universities, and not enough concentration on 'The Trades'...


I'm not making this up, you know....
