[Letter from John Henderson]

Dear Sir,

Reading last week's letters column I noticed that Patrick O'Hagan had written another one of his letters concerning the inadequacy of the Union building for those who are physically handicapped. I would like to make a few points relating to this subject.

1) I would be the first to agree that the Union is badly designed, but you had better realise, Pat, that once a building is made it cannot be unmade, except at great cost. Les Slater, quoted me $20,000.

The Studass treasurer, Mike Curus, said that he had been working on it and had had a quote of $30,000. He said that both sums were out of the question. See Les about this. He seems quite interested.

2) I have not yet noticed anybody on a wheelchair in this university. I may stand corrected if I am wrong.

3) Patrick O'Hagan is sound in limb and body, as is proved by the Outward Bound course he passed last year.

I suggest, Pat, that you devote your philanthrophic efforts to some more practicable cause. Good luck.

From your old friend,

John Henderson

Notice to Students

Committee Room 2, the old Contact Room, has now a special notice board for accommodation notices. Don't scatter your accommodation notices over the university where they are lost among all the other paraphenalia. Put them on this one notice board and you will have no trouble finding a flat or flatmate.

Yes folks; deal direct, and bypass the inefficiency of the University Accommodation Service.
