Administration supports scheme

The university administration is supporting Sweet and Maxwell's application. The Assistant Principal, Dr. Culliford, has urged the Students' Association give similar support. He said the convenient site and the service to be provided were deserving of support.

Students' Association President Doug White will propose that executive give written support to the application and if necessary verbal support at any hearing of objections.

Owners of land adjoining 10 Kelburn Parade have been advised of the proposed change in use. Sweet and Maxwell have also advertised their intention of using the property for retailing books.

There is a general right of objection against change in use of land. Objectors to these proposals must submit written statements to the City Council by September 24.

Mr. White told Salient that his initial reaction was that students would "enthusiastically support the proposed bookshop, but I would prefer to refer the matter to executive before supporting it in writing."

The possibilities of a student administered bookshop seem to have been dismissed by most parties as impractical.
