Forum disappoints

Forum disappoints

Sirs,—Forum has disappointed me throughout the year. I have never been to Forum.

Forum is held on Tuesdays between 1.10 and 2pm. So is a lecture of mine. So are hundreds of others' lectures. Therefore we are disappointed with Forum; not with its content (which is inexperienced by us) but with its timing.

Of course a minority of students must necessarily miss, out whenever forum is held. But when it is held only once a week, and when its timing is not changed during the year, hundreds of students cannot participate at all.

Surely it is not impossible to occasionally change the time of Forum to another day, or another hour, or both. Even if the change were only termly, hundreds (although possibly not all) of the students who at present do not attend and participate, because they cannot, would have this opportunity.

I believe that every student should have this opportunity To constantly deny an accountable minority the right of regular Forum is unjust.

It is necessary?

I remain—unforumized!

Mervyn P. Judge.
