Margaret Percy

Law, Science and Arts student Margaret Percy does not feel any hindrance in her administration of the House Committee portfolio (if elected) merely because she is a female. At Wellington girl's high school she proved herself mature and responsible both as a prefect, in the SCM and many sports. At University she has been active and successful in the fields of sport, study and social activity. Vice-President of the squash club and an active skier, she is also a member of the Gym Club.

A Long-Time and hard-working member of the House Committee, she is a member of the Law Faculty Club. International Club, Volunteer Service Abroad, Drama Club and is interested in promoting any student activity which will stimulate student interest, cohesion, and activity. Margaret is in her fourth year and will have time and energy to administer the House portfolio if elected as she is full time this year and will be again in 1965.

The Student Union Building has largely unexploited potential. With efficient and careful management many of the problems and deficiencies could be overcome. By improving some facilities and inaugurating others, it would be possible to ensure that the building becomes a more pleasant and useful centre of student activity.

• Hygiene. With such large numbers of students constantly using the facilities, it is essential that a high standard of hygiene is maintained: viz. roller towel systems installed, women's facilities improved.
• Lockers. There is at present nowhere where students can keep personal belongings safely. Lockers should be provided, even if they have to be shared. Failing this, there should be a checking point for valuables.
• Sub Library. The Students Association has subscriptions to all important magazines. Students do not know of this, largely because of the lack of organisation in their presentation. There should be improved shelving and presentation of these expensive and useful magazines.
• Telephones. There should be telephones installed in both Hunter and Easterfield buildings to help ease the congestion at the SUB phones.
• Ventilation. There should be a ventilation system in the cafeteria and in the telephone booths.
• Baby-Sitting Service. A well-organised service, run by the Association, would give extra finance to students and help foster good public relations.
• Second-Floor. As has been stated before, students must be given the opportunity to see and criticise the plans for the new floor, especially where the higher-priced dining room is concerned. This dining room would lead to stratification of the student body, although the purpose of the Student Union Building is to help unite all students and staff.
• Accommodation Service. It is imperative that a student body to organise and supervise student accommodation be instituted.
