title: Macrofossil biofacies in the late Neogene of central Hawke's Bay: applications to palaeogeography

authors: Bland, Kyle J.

subjects: Hawke's Bay

abstract: The Late Miocene–Early Pleistocene (Tongaporutuan–Nukumaruan) sedimentary succession in the forearc basin in central and western Hawke's Bay, encompassed by the Tolaga and Mangaheia Groups, comprises a wide variety of variably fossiliferous lithofacies, ranging from non-marine greywacke-derived conglomerates to bathyal mudstone and flysch beds. Thirty molluscan biofacies, inferred to have accumulated in estuarine to outer shelf palaeoenvironments, have been identified and represent both in situ and transported assemblages. Although distributed through the late Neogene succession, most biofacies occur within the Late Pliocene–Early Pleistocene part of the Mangaheia Group. Using the spatial distribution of the different biofacies, we have constructed detailed palaeoenvironmental reconstructions for the Plio-Pleistocene of central Hawke's Bay. The stratigraphic occurrence of particular biofacies has been primarily controlled by relative sea-level positions and variations in sediment input during high-frequency glacio-eustatic sea-level oscillations. The distribution of biofacies reflects proximity to contemporaneous shorelines, localised sources of carbonate sediment or dominance of siliciclastic sedimentation, and records the interplay between tectonic and eustatic drivers of relative sea-level change.

title: Léonce de Saint-Martin: Organist and composer

authors: Smith, Philip Andrew

subjects: Leonce de Saint-Martin

abstract: This study examines the life and work of the largely forgotten organist Léonce de Saint-Martin and the role he played in the life of Notre-Dame Cathedral Paris.
The Study consists of two parts:
A)	 Performance
The performance part consisted of four performances in addition to the final recital. These were related to both the topic and the requirements of the University of Waikato.
1.	Liturgical Improvisations on "The Stations of the Cross."
2.	Organ Concerto in G minor -  Francis Poulenc
3.	Requiem – Maurice Duruflé 
4.	Solo Recital - St. Peter’s Cathedral Hamilton.
5.	Final recital - Holy Trinity Cathedral Auckland.

B) Thesis
The thesis examines the development of the French organ in relation to the organ of Notre-Dame de Paris from 1198 to 1954. In addition, the life and work of the main protagonists Louis Vierne and Marcel Dupré are examined to put the role of Saint-Martin in context. The bulk of the work places the career of Saint-Martin into a fresh context, and examines his compositional and performance output purely on its musical merit, from a position of both chronological and geographical distance.

title: The concept of partnership and The Treaty of Waitangi: Three case studies

authors: Morrison, Sandy

subjects: Te Tiriti o Waitangi

abstract: There has been, and continues to be, considerable debate about the meaning and intent of different versions of the Treaty of Waitangi and about the extent of its relevance to contemporary New Zealand. It is in this context that a number of organisations and institutions in New Zealand, anxious to demonstrate their positive support for the creation of a just society, have attempted to restructure in ways that allow for a 'partnership' between Māori and Pākehā. With reference to three different case studies, I argue here that such restructuring, although generally very well intentioned and very welcome, should not be seen - as it frequently is - as an expression of the fulfilment of partnership obligations arising out of the Treaty of Waitangi. To treat organisational restructuring in this way, particularly where it does not provide both 'partners' with an equal right to determine the operational parameters and future direction of the organisation, is to misrepresent (often wholly unintentionally) the nature of the Treaty. Nevertheless, one way of resolving some of the debates concerning the meaning and intent of the Treaty of Waitangi might be to establish a principle of equal partnership in the governance and management of state institutions.
