Kedgley protests

"I most strongly object to Barrie Saunders article in the Evening Post criticising the halls of residence appeal,'' said Sue Kedgley, Accommodation Officer.

"Halls of residence are intended as complementary to 'flats and motels' not, as Mr Saunders implicates, as a substitute," she emphasised.

"A primary reason for the expense of halls of residence is the necessity to locate them near the university, and would apply equally to blocks of flats or motel units."

'To scoff at such a scheme, then, is shortsighted, narrowminded, presumptuous and specious,' she finished.
