Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 11, No. 1. March 17th. 1948

[Introduction]

Following some valuable suggestions made in a report by last year's editors, Cappicade Committee is now on the job of organizing a bumper issue for 1948. In the past the perennial difficulty of getting students to write for Cappicade has driven despairing editors either to write it themselves or to borrow from elsewhere. But the 1948 committee is convinced that members of V.U.C. can accompany Extrav with a really "Varsity" magazine that is original, topical and entertaining to the 8,000 (at least of the public who buy it and spread it round Wellington. Their confidence goes to the extent of offering considerable material encouragement to all those who write for Cappieade.

This year we offer the following prizes: For the best original humorous short story, 1st prize £5; second prize 25/-. For the best humorous verse £2 and 10/-; for the best fake newspaper feature £5 and 25/-; for the best collection of snippets, jokes, definitions, etc. £2 and 10/-; consolation prizes may take the form of free tickets for Extrav.
