Salient Reporter
A Survey on the quality and quantity of student accommodation in Wellington is being prepared by both the University Council and the Student Executive Accommodation committees.
Both reports will be completed by July.
The executive report will deal with the cost, quality and availability of hostels, private board and flats. It will include case studies, and attempt to analyse the effect of flats on study. It will be specifically aimed at increasing government aid for halls of residence.
Geoff Bertram, executive Accommodation Officer, says the aim is to change the attitude of the Government from one of charily to one of responsibility.
The Council report will be based on returns from questionnaires placed with the examination application forms. The returns will show the present accommodation position as a basis for further action.
