4.—Students' Board and Lodging

Weir House and the Women's Hostels offer a very limited system of accommodation. Not only have they been merely inadequate in the past, but, with the large increase this year, they probably satisfy less than half the requirements in this direction. The inquiry undertaken by "Salient" in this matter proved abortive because "Salient" does not contact a sufficiently large number of students. With the high rates at present in operation for board and lodging and the poor facilities which are often attendant on them, it is time that some steps were taken to ease the position for students and the Executive is the obvious body to take action.
