No Satellite Master Antenna Television System on Campus From theDirector, Buildings Office: Despite two tendering exercises and twice issuing questionnaires, there has been insufficient evidence of support from resident members on the campus for a scheme that could guarantee the reimbursement of capital investment and maintenance costs of the system through subscriptions within a reasonable period of time, say five to six years. The University administration has therefore decided against the incorporation of any satellite master antenna television system at her domestic buildings for the time being. The decision may be reviewed after summer 1993 if circumstances so warrant. 5
