Cafeteria Improvements

However, it is to the credit of the Executive that they took immediate action to improve conditions by drawing up a comprehensive report, setting out the necessary improvements, which after being adopted by them was sent to the College Council for action. The Council adopted it in toto and work on the Caf. was commenced early in the new year. The installation of new sinks and hot water facilities and a repaint of the kitchen were carried out, while a subcommittee of Executive endeavoured to find a new manager to take control.

After interviewing four applicants the committee appointed Mr. Wall, who has had previous university cafeteria experience at Otago, as manager.

In the common rooms also results of Executive activity are, obvious. In the women's common room a repaint and new lockers have given-more comfortable atmosphere and appearance; while the men have been treated to the extent of five new settees. The common-room controllers, especially (Diana Fussell and Tony Ellis) deserve congratulations for their practical and economical approach to the task of refitting the rooms.

An action which has received much criticism from certain groups of students was the re-organisation of notice boards, whereby an equal amount of advertising space was given to all clubs and societies. It is pointed out that a new notice board is to be placed to the right of the main stairs, operating on a card system of activities for This Week and Next Week. Thus it will be possible for all students to follow club activities and meetings from one centrally situated board.

Investigations are being made of the possibility of placing a notice board in the Cafeteria. Another notice board that has had its purpose improved by the secretary is, that now used by Executive, sited on the left of the main stairs, from which all students can readily gain immediate knowledge of the activities of Executive and N.Z.U.S.A.
