Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 2. March 23, 1959
Cafeteria
Cafeteria
At last year's students' association A.G.M. the president had said that the cafeteria question would be investigated within one month, but that had not been done. An investigating committee had just been formed.
"The present caterer," I feel, "sadly lacks a reasonable way of distributing meals. There is always a queue. I checked tonight and there was a queue of 20 people for some time.
"I feel that the executive has to do what the students want and try to get it by hook or by crook. I don't think the present executive can do anything of this nature. Individually they are quite pleasant people, but collectively they have failed to function in the way they should."
Mr J. Laurenson, one of the first speakers from the hall, thought if the motion had done nothing else it had raised student enthusiasm, which was something no executive had managed to do for 10 years.
"But this is the only good point in what I consider to be a thoroughly ill-conceived motion." If the allegations put forward through Salient held any truth they were of a serious nature. Mr Hampton was casting a doubt on the integrity of people of high standing in New Zealand.
