Among the Muses

Far too often, with far too much truth, it is said that Wellington is a Philistine, money-grubbing hole.

Nowhere is it more in evidence than at Victoria.

We are printing in this issue an excellent critique of the Helmann concert with the National Symphony Orchestra. We hope that it won't be an irregular feature. In fact, we could do with more criticism—in art. music, drama or anything else by anyone who feels competent to tackle a subject.

We would like to hear from you if you have these special abilities. A University should see regular book reviews on technical or cultural releases. Where are they? Our staff can't write all of these, more from lack of time than lack of desire to do so.

There's nothing—absolutely nothing—half so much fun as messing around in criticism. Try it some time.
