Ward for sale

Ward for sale

Dear Roger,

Anthony Ward is selling out again! His thinly disguised middle class bureaucratic attitude to the demolition of Hunter is completely unwarranted. I don't know where he attained his figure of $75 a square foot for strengthening Hunter. Even if this is true, which I believe it is not, the cost is surely irrelevant here. The mindless edifices that are erected around this varsity as monuments to a tight fisted University Grants Committee must not be allowed to ride rough shod over the only building of any sanity and character in this varsity.

My suggestion to Anthony Ward is that, if he considers that the mindless, soul-shattering experience of Kirk and Easterfieid is more desirable than the one building that gives Victoria University an identity, he go back and take another look at the classic monument to Walkato Wankers that is their university, and Hamilton city itself, from whence he comes.

Anthony Ward was not elected to sell out university students interests. I suggest he reconsider.
