Dear S i r ,

The t o p i c o f H a l l D i n n e r was r a i s e d s e v e r a l times l a s t t e r m , c h i e f l y i n c o n n e c t i o n w i t h b l o c k bookings, which were d e p l o r e d b y many people as b e i n g c o n t r a r y t o the i d e a of H a l l Dinner; * consequently, b l o o k bookings were p r o h i b i t e d , and p r o s p e c t i v e d i n e r s were l i m i t e d t o one guest each.

At t h e Dinner l a s t weekjtwo young l a d i e s , i n keeping w i t h the s p i r i t of H a l l Dinner, decided t o p l a c e themselves n e x t t o people they d i d not know, but from whom they would have the opport u n i t y o f g a i n i n g f r e s h i d e a s ; f o r H a l l Dinneri s p r i m a r i l y a s o c i a l function - the e x c e l l e n t d i n n e r i s merely a d e l i g h t f u l i n c i d e n t a l .

Dear S i r , C r i t i o i s m s upon c r i t i o i s m s are p i l e d i n you r columns a g a i n s t the new Union. I t h i n k t h a t i f t h e reasons f o r the most p r o v o c a t i v e f e a t u r e s are g i v e n , then perhaps the volume o f complaints w i l l be suppressed.

Very o f t e n a c r i t i c i s m o f bad t a s t e does not a r i s e i f the u n d e r l y i n g f u n c t i o n a l need i s understood.

To my mind, t h r e e t h i n g s may be happening; 1. The d e s i g n e r s o f the n e w . b u i l d i n g have l e f t o o l l e g e and a r e nowhere t o be found.

2. Nobody designed anything .

The g e n i i ( o r g e n i u s e s ) r e s p o n s i b l e f o r the shape o f t h i n g s t h a t came are e i t h e r a f r a i d o r o o u l d not oare t o defend t h e i r d e s i g n s .

So l e t those who have had a f i n g e r i n , i t defend t h e i r b r i g h t e s t i d e a s , as now, as i n any case, i t i s t o o l a t e t o do a n y t h i n g e l s e .

The l a s t meeting o f C o u n c i l took p l a c e . on February 11th. and l a s t e d f o r about hours. The f o l l o w i n g items o f g e n e r a l i n t e r e s t arose from the meeting.

Dates o f Terms At a p r e v i o u s meeting i t had been decided t o p r o t e s t t o the Hoard o f S t u d i e s about t h e sudden changes' i n term times which had occurred t h i s s e s s i o n , c a u s i n g c o n s i d e r a b l e confusion i n t h e f i x t u r e arrangements o f some a t h l e t i c c l u b s . The Board o f S t u d i e s has s i n c e produced a set system f o r f i x i n g these dates which are now known f o r many years ahead. I t was noted w i t h s a t i s f a c t i o n t h a t the Christmas term w i l l n o t extend 30 n e a r l y t o Christmas Day as i t d i d t h i s year, and P o s t O f f i c e work s h o u l d be p a s s i b l e without t a k i n g u n o f f i c i a l l e a v e o f absence.

P o s i t i o n o f S e n i o r Common Room i n Union I t was unanimously agreed t h a t t h e present p o s i t i o n o f the 3.0.2'. i s a d e f i n i t e hindrance and a d e t e r r e n t t o the f u l l use o f the b u i l d i n g i n i t s intended f u n c t i o n as a students' Union. The S.C.R. i n the o l d Union Union had caused no t r o u b l e owing t o i t s remote p o s i t i o n a t one end o f the b u i l d i n g .

The S.C.R. committee have a c c o r d i n g l y been asked t o c o n s i d e r moving the S.C.R, up t o the s m a l l Lounge o f the t o p f l o o r . T h i s would enable the present S.C.R. and Reading Room t o be l i n k e d as a c o n s i d e r a b l e i n c r e a s e i n student lounge accomodation. The t o p f l o o r lounge i s comparatively remote, and f a r fewer students would need t o use the room as a r i g h t - o f - w a y , owing t o the exi s t e n c e o f a l i f t , the S.C.R. would be e a s i l y accessible from the D i n i n g H a l l . I t was a l s o p o i n t e d out t h a t i n view o f t h e e x c e l l e n t S.C.R. i n the Unwin B u i l d i n g , and the g r e a t d i f f e r e n c e i n 3 t a f f and.stuuent members, the S.C.R. committee might c o n s i d e r moving out of the Union a l t o g e t h e r . Any member o f s t a f f who wishes t o i s e the Union can do so by paying the s u b s c r i p t i o n o f three guineas.

There the matter r e s t s u n t i l t h e next meeting o f the S.G.R. committee. ( I t i s , o f c o u r s e , r e a l i s e d t h a t t h e ^ r e s e n t S.C.R. would continue t o be used f o r pre-Dinner sherry i n the evenings, b u t there i s no o b j e c t i o n t o that).

The l a c k o f comfort and q u a l i t y o f the new lounge f u r n i t u r e gave r i s e t o ' c o n s i d e r a b l e dismay, as t h e Union i s f i n a n c i a l l y r e s p o n s i b l e f o r i t s upkeep.
