More Comfort Campaign

More Comfort Campaign.

Dear "Smad,"—A certain creaking of muscles, a soreness round the nether regions, and an uneasy shifting of the body on bare boards are typical symtoms of a student attending a lecture at Victoria College.

The seating accommodation is vile and atrocious! We are listening to 20th century professors (?) under 15th century conditions ? Why should we suffer this torment and agony when other colleges in New Zealand enjoy comfortable seats? Do the powers think that we, of Wellington, are Rougher and hardier than in other parts—of the country.

It is understood from a reliable Source that other colleges even have plush seats.

This matter, which strikes at the very root of the student body, is one that should receive immediate and urgent attention, or else it may have a detrimental effect on the general health and well being of the College. We are going to have a new Student Building—if we don't get more comfortable seats the college will have build New Students!

It is hoped that this voice crying out from the wilderness will be heard and acted upon immediately and that a campaign for the provision of "Softer Seats at Victoria" be started.

P.S.: There are a few comfortable scats. . . .

I remain, etc.,

Bono Endo.
