Salient Staff Notes

Last week the Salient A.G.M. was held(in closed committee to keep out Trots, certain Exec. members and other undesirable elements).It was chaired by David Murray, the Editor. First motion put forward was by Lynette, Arabella, Lolita and [ unclear: Lamoma] and called for general order to be brought to the Salient Offices. This was hotly debated with Gyles Beckford. Bruce Robinson, Gerard Couper, Tom Duggan, Michael Stephens and John Ryall speaking against it because they felt 'it would not be in true Salient tradition'; Simon Wilson, Allan Smith and Richard Pearson for it because it would add to 'the intrinsic artistic value of the Offices'; Rose, Sur and Rire for it simply because they thought it'd be nice to be able to find what they wanted when they wanted it just once!' and pointing out that at present it was possible for certain Exec, members to hide, in the mess without (horrors!) being noticed. The motion was eventually carried with abstentions by Chris, Craig Mabon, Peter Gibbs, Quentin Roper, Geoff Churchman and numerous others who didn't have their abstentions noted, 4 O' Clock came, along with SASRAC and was marked by a mass exodus leaving too few for a quorum so the meeting was declared closed with yet another victory for democracy etc, etc, etc.
