Accommodation

Accommodation

A meeting has been called for Wednesday, May 1, starting at 2pm in the Listening Room, with the aim of setting up an Accommodation Committee. The reason for calling this meeting is that since taking up the position of Accommodation Officer, mainly because of no other starters, it has rapidly become apparent to me that no one student can possibly hope to achieve fully all the potentialities of the post of Accommodation Officer.

The gathering together of a number of persons interested in the accommodation problem, would, besides enabling a far greater number of areas and good ideas to be investigated, also enables much greater experience to be focused on problem areas than could be mustered by one sole accommodation officer.

Two areas I would like to see the committee investigate are first the possibility of the Students' Association becoming more involved in letting flats, in the capacity of a land-agent. Secondly, the often discussed idea of the Students' Association actually buying properties should be re-examined with a view to putting past discussion into action.

Anyone at all interested in taking part in this committee, please come along. If you can't make it but are still interested, then please leave your name at the Students' Association office.

If anyone is actually looking for accommodation at the moment, there are vacancies in "Beverley Hills", the ex-boarding house in Oriental Bay which the Students' Association is teasing. Anyone interested in requested to leave their name at the Students' Association office.
