Establishment of a building fund for new NZUSA premises was discussed at the NZUSA National Executive meeting on 1 March.
At present, NZUSA is accommodated in Book House in Boulcott Street The present office space is generally knowledged to be so cramped as to hamper efficiency. Moves are being made to secure better temporary accommodation until long-term plans can be made.
NZUSA constituents disagreed about the methods by which such a fund could be raised. A per capita student levy was one suggestion, Victoria's President, Margaret Bryson, suggested that low interest long-term loans Should be raised from constituent Students' Associations. Other delegates pointed out that several of the Associations are already involved in building programmes and would therefore have little to contribute to such loan schemes.
It was also suggested that the scheme be financed by a $2 increase in fares to Australia arranged by the Travel Service. Student travel fares are already, however, subject to an increase of $14.50 necessitated by a rise in flight cost
Treasurers of the constituent Associations will discuss ways in which the building fund could be established at Easter Council.
