Figures not facts
What they wanted at all was a statement issued in good measure. People who give their heads to be counted have a right to that. So here's a statement looking for issue.
Surveys of usage have tended to suggest that about 20% of students enrolled at Victoria University visit the Recreation Centre in a typical week.
Male/Female numbers reflect the university roll ratio.
The Science Faculty provides more than a proportionate share of users.
Lunch-times are hectic.
Typical weeks are becoming rarer.
That's the sort of issued statement that finance committees and long-term planners need. In the end, we must all render a count. Ours is due. Take note but take no notice.
