Second school coming

NZSPA Reporter

Wellington: A second school of architecture will be established at Victoria University of Wellington. The University Council has authorised a start on the building at the top of Ghuznee Street, about four blocks away from the main campus.

The school will be a new faculty for Victoria, and it is hoped to establish the Dominion's third school of engineering in association with the architecture facilities later.

Meanwhile, Otago residents wanting to study architecture at Auckland University will have a better chance, under the term of a recent will. The late Henry McDowell left a fund of more than £10.000 to help needy students.

The intention was not to reward clever students, but to help candidates who would not otherwise be able to take the course. It was hoped to allocate the first funds this year, said the Otago chair-man of the Institute of Archi-tects (Mr. N. Y. A. Wales) in Dunedin.

Post going modern

The Evening post is going modern. The observant reader will have noticed the serialised version of Manchester's book, "The Death of a President," appears on a new, clean easy to read typeface.

Called Corona, the new body type is just part of the modernisation the Post is undergoing. Soon the whole paper will set in this body.

Advertisers will note their classifieds are going to be shrunk to a 4 1/2 point condensed type face instead of the larger 5 1/2.

Readers can expect front page news later this year once the new presses are operating satisfactorily.
