No Plans to Shift

At present there are no plans for the relocation of the Music department from the Hunter building. Arnold Blades, Works Registrar of Victoria believes there is a need for more information on possible sites before the situation can be evaluated.

The option of temporary accommodation was discussed and is being taken up by the accommodation advisory committee, but Blades says "the campus is crowded and space is limited".

Students in the Physics department have been provided with alternative accommodation in stage II of the Cotton building, but this move will not take place until 1983.

Prospects for the Music department look bleak. If no alternative accommodation is found, the department faces the risk of the complete shutdown of the Hunter building, which Lambie says will achieve nothing.

The situation faced by the Music department is considered by the university authorities as a high priority. "However there is a danger that we could be left without a solution" Blades said.
