Crawford

"I Don't feel that I can offer the time which the problem demands." This is the reason given by former Accommodation Committee chairman Trevor Crawford for his resignation. Appointed shortly after the Executive elections last year, he guided the Committee through meetings which investigated most aspects of student accommodation in Wellington, and took a prominent part in the investigations into the possibilities of a student-managed hostel.

Mr. Crawford explained that he would be a part-time student in 1965, although he had not anticipated this when accepting the position. "The accommodation problem is a considerable one," he said, "and needs the concerted action of students if it is to be overcome. Even when I was a full-time student I wished for more time to devote to the problem, and I feel that I would be doing the Association a dis-service by continuing in my post."

The post of Accommodation Committee Chairman has in the past been filled by a member of the Executive. A departure was made by the present Executive in appointing a chairman who became an associate member of the Executive with speaking but no voting rights. It is believed that some members of Executive advocate a reshuffle of portfolios in order to include one on Accommodation. The vacancy created by Mr. Crawford's resignation may be offered to Executive members, or a new chairman may be co-opted from the student body.
