Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 11, No. 1. February 27, 1948
[Introduction]
Well, even if it hasn't already it will pretty soon and it would take more than all the King's horses, etc., to put it together again, but all cracks aside, we don't want to have to put the old green monstrosity together again—what we want and what we need is our new Student Union Building.
For the benefit of Freshers and those who live in the seclusion of their ivory towers, it is as well to mention that the idea of a new Student Union Building is not entirely new. It may surprise some to learn that plans for the financing and construction of the building have been under discussion since a few years after the completion of the present gym, way back in 1909, when it was decided that two trustees should be appointed annually by the Executive and that a permanent allocation of four shillings from each Student Association fee should be instituted.
