It would be best to have support! THINK OF THE INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING SO MUCH FINANCIALLY TO UOL! How would you like to live in a foreign country at 18 without a warden to turn to?

Moreover, they greatly facilitated the Senior Members' job by providing support and guidance.They exercised leadership positions without which the whole structure of the Hall administration would have fallen apart.

To me the UoL is becoming more and more irrelevant as the Colleges become more independent. The Halls of Residence are the exception to that and anything which has the potential to degrade this part of the UoL should be resisted. I agree entirely with the response of the Warden's that expecting the Halls' administrative staff to pick up the work of the Wardens is a false economy.
