Salient. Official Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 40 No. 17. July 18 1977

Hunter Building

Hunter Building

The rest of the meeting could be called boring, although some important issues were discussed. A motion was passed reaffirming existing Association policy on Hunter (if you know what the policy is, consult your local dealer of Salient) and urging the University Grants Committee to make funds available for this purpose of upgrading, while at the same time retaining its structural features intanct. The Hunter question was raised because some had heard a rumour that demolition of Hunter would begin within theree weeks. Officially, the hierarchy policy is still not finalised, they say, but it will have to be finalised before the August meeting of Council. (It may be interesting to note that whenever the University Council discusses the Hunter question, they go into closed committee. What have they got to hide?)

The speakers, none of whom spoke against the motion, expressed concern at the lack of information available to students regarding Hunter, and at the prospect of more "little boxes on the hillside". Let us hope for some official action as a result of the adoption of these motions into Association policy.
