Salient: Victoria University of Wellington Students' Newspaper. Vol. 32, No. 1. 1969.
[introduction]
Deterioration of students' public image due to both internal and overseas unrest is considered to be the main reason for the lack of student accommodation in Wellington.
Mrs Brown, the Accommodation Officer, said that there had been more comment by landlords this year than was usual about the public image of students.
She felt that the public were misusing the word "student".
A dozen students answered a Salient advertisement about student accommodation in a newspaper last week.
Six of the inquirers said that resistance to students by land agents and private owners was apparent.
