Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 21, No. 7. June 11, 1958

The Result of Delay

The Result of Delay

If the Arts and Library Building had been approved in 1955, it could have been completed in time for use during the session of 1962, when the maximum forecast enrolment is 3,900. If it were approved today it could be in use for 1965 when the maximum forecast enrolment is 5,190. Each year's delay now means a further increase of 400 in each of the years following 1962, and an overloading of facilities to an extent that can only deprive the students in our University district of what they have a right to expect.

The Council and the University Grants Committee have pressed matters as far as they can, and the decisions now are to be made by the Government. Provision of more accommodation is a matter of the greatest urgency, but in view of the delay over the Arts and Library Building it is a matter of some doubt as to whether the nature of this urgency is yet fully appreciated in Government circles.
