"Import restrictions and steady loss of money since the shop opened in February, 1958, have caused the manager of the U.B.S. to close last July," the Canterbury report said. "Personal approaches to M.P.'s and a petition to the Minister concerned signed by over 1,000 students failed to bring any relief."
The new C.U. Engineering School will be in operation by 1960. Sketch plans for the Science Block are almost complete. The building, expected to cost about £2,250,000, will not be in use before 1966-67. Next year students will pay 25/- each towards the building fund. It is hoped that about £1,500 will be obtained from Capping profits for the fund, which will be invested in securities.
By the end of the third term approximately 1,500 students will have had a general "check-up"—twice last year's number. The scheme this year will cost approximately £2,100, of which the Government will pay £1,700, the University Council £200, and the C.U.S.A. £200.
