Government Hostel Boys rejects super-v’s decision to impose hostel shirt

Boys weren’t smiling yesterday night at the Government hostel as they expressed discontent over the hostel supervisor’s decision to impose a fee on all hostelites for hostel shirts when paying for next session’s hostel dues. The decision was greeted with much disapproval from the students as they demanded reasons for such drastic decision taken without proper consultations with the hostel occupants.

Campus Echoes gathered that the said supervisor who is a female made this known to a few students during the day with senator Pope in attendance, informing them that those who intend taking accommodation at the hostel next session must pay an additional #1000 to the normal #1300 hostel dues or else seek accommodation elsewhere. Senator Pope who we gathered sought to know why, and was told the decision was final and if not satisfied

should see the Dean of Students.

Owing to the development, the hostel governor, comrade Ben, together with senator Pope gathered together the hostelites for a meeting; where most of them complained about the decision, saying it was unacceptable, giving that they already have bills enough to foot next session. And even the manner at which the decision was made is unacceptable as their rights cannot be trampled upon. They unanimously agreed against the shirt and asked the governor together with senator Pope to see the Dean with regards the issue.
