Committee Plans Big Compaign For Building Fund.

At the meeting of the Building Committee held on the 23rd February, two reports were considered dealing with, firstly, the requirements of the proposed building and, secondly, how the necessary funds can be raised.

The new building is to be erected where the present gymnasium stands. It will be a four-storied edifice comprising facilities the provision of which has been sadly overlooked in the past. Chief among these will be the Assembly Hall wherein will take place General Meetings, Dramatic Club shows and Debating Society meetings. Possibly, too, it will be used for the bigger University functions such as Capping and the Plunket Medal Contests. A College Hall has long been lacking at Victoria and we look forward to the early realization of this ideal. There is also space in the suggested layout for a Cafeteria, Business Rooms, and more especially Common Rooms. These latter deserve special mention, for, besides the men's and women's rooms, there is to be a lounge or, virtually, a Common-Common Room which is at the present time a very definite necessity.
