Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 27, No. 3. 1964.

Hostels By Govt?

Hostels By Govt?

A Government answer to its claims that the State should provide finance for halls of residence at Ilam is wanted urgently by the University of Canterbury, reports the February 2 issue of The Press (Christchurch).

Already with the roll near 3.800, the demand for hostel accommodation far exceeds that available round the city site.

So far the State is only providing subsidies, and the Vice Chancellor, Dr L. Pownall, is grateful for the use churches are making of them. They are providing 350 new beds in three hostels, which, however, is not enough.

In the United Kingdom, many American states and many European countries, halls of residence were provided by the state.
