Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 3. April 13, 1959
[Introduction]
Students, who for obvious reasons must remain anonymous, have questioned the policy governing the administration of the Weir House Men's Hostel. In regard to admissions, it has been suggested there is no policy at all.
There are some cases, said the students, of residents who dipped out on all subjects, but were readmitted to the hostel; whereas others who passed all their units and managed to keep out of the way of the warden, Dr. W. E. Harvey, were refused readmission.
Some residents were readmitted conditionally. In three cases it meant sharing with one other a room designed to accommodate single students.
It has been stated that the committee wants to admit a large number of first and second year students to give them a chance to find their feet in the big city. But what about those students who were already established and did not get admission till their second or third year at varsity?
