Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 8. 1966.

Commenting on a letter from Chemistry Professor J. Vaughn which listed the harmful effects the delays were having on the students' morale, Dr. Pownall said Williamsons had refused to give specific dates for the completion of work, but had said his earlier attack had done nothing to help the situation.

"I cannot believe that this is the attitude taken by New Zealand tradesmen," he added.

In Dunedin. the University of Otago's Arts Faculty is suffering similar problems— but this time because approval for a new building was not given.

The faculty is faced with an accommodation crisis in 1968, the Dean (Professor E. A. Horsman) has told the University Council.

"Permission to call for tenders for Phase 1 of the new arts building, originally due for accommodation in 1968, was withheld throughout the last three months of; last year, and the possibility of completing it by the target date receded," his report stated.

However, the Minister of Education (the Hon. Arthur Kinsella) later gave the goahead for the first stage of the arts building and a new chemistry block. The work will cost approximately £1,250,000.
