Woolshed Bereft of Shearers

The proposed new hairdressing salon in the Student Union (the Woolshed) is now without a hairdresser.

The contract was originally to be let to Anthony Plews, a student who had had some hairdressing experience. Last week, however, Mr Plews wrote to the Presidents advising that he would be unable to operate the salon because of his imminent departure for the United States.

During discussion on the matter, a student Union Management sub-committee decided, to call for applications for the contract. Ian Boyd, Managing Secretary of the Students Union, Said a notice, calling for applications was posted immediately after the meeting.

The Woolshed is to occupy a renovated men's toilet on the first floor of the Student Union. It was hoped to have it open in the second week of the term. However, the present condition of the room and Mr Plews' departure will mean that the service will not be available until well after the estimated opening date.
