Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 8, No. 1. Friday, March, 2, 1945

[Introduction]

Recently announced by the Executive, a Special General Meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 21. Its purpose: to promote speedier action for the proposed Students' Union Building.

Motions will be put forward by the Exec. asking for further finance from students and for coherent student opinion on the requirements of the new building.

A special meeting of the Students' Association is called very rarely: the matters to be discussed are always of considerable importance. Two have been called since the beginning of the war; in 1941 a vote of no-confidence in the Exec. following the banning of certain material in "Spike," was moved and defeated, while last year a special meeting approved of Exec. plans for the formation of our college health scheme. Commendable initiative has been shown in this proposal to place detailed recommendations on the new building before the student body.

The present Students' Association building was opened in 1909. A very few years later the Executive decided that as a Student Union Building it cut very little ice, and prepared plans for a future and more ambitious block. The Building Fund was started, to be administered by two trustees appointed yearly by the Exec. and with a permanent allocation of four shillings from each Stud. Ass. fee.
