We hope that Neville Lodge's impression of Tournament is not responsible for VUC's losses, but we do know that Victoria can be proud of her work as host college.

Although the editors do not realize it (and certainly are not responsible for it) there is a large gap in the S.C.M. Student Handbook this year. So, to fill this gap and to give freshers all the vital information they really need for their first eventful year, we are publishing the Swords Club Notes. In the words of all the best advertisements, freshers should "cut out this coupon" and (no—don't send it to the editor) add it to the pile of lecture notes, text books. Salients, and all the other indispensable printed matter which is constantly referred to by the wise student.

The Swords Club started its activities at Victoria in 1945 and has had a vigorous and successful, though short, life. In the Winter Tournaments of 1946 and 1947, the team won the fencing and in the first year collected two N.Z.U. Blues. In 1947 one of the club members captained the N.Z.U. team which defeated the Wellington Swords Club by 15 bouts to 1. Last year a women's team fought at Tournament, and it is hoped that a team of four men and four women will be travelling to Christchurch this year for Winter Tournament.

The club's record is tribute enough to an excellent coach, Mr. Dickson, who will instruct club members in sabre and epee as well as foil. New members will be welcomed by a band of enthusiasts, and for those who have not their own foils a limited amount of club gear is available.

Watch the notice-boards for the time and place of the first meeting, which will be early in March.

Club Captain: Peter Hampton.

Club Secretary: Nannette Broom.
