Lecture Rooms

The reason was made clear by Mr. Allen, the Building Programmer for the Education Department: "If you had to make the decision to build either a new group of lecture rooms, or to put an extension on a Student Union Building. which would you choose?

"At present there are no plans for reductions in university buildings, but the Government has to reduce expenditure. Reduction will depend on essentiality," he added.

Until the Cabinet Works Committee meets no decision is possible. Though students may consider the extensions vital it is unlikely Cabinet will feel the same way.

Hence, the university will remain a "dry" area for some time to come.
