You as a Journalist

If You have anything to praise, criticise or curse; or any thoughts at all, if you have some scandal (such as the state of the Common Common Room) to reveal; if some experience anywhere, in the Botanical Gardens or a lecture (most unlikely) has moved you to poetry—put it in black and white and address it to "Editor—Salient." Leave in a Common Room letter rack and we will take it from there.

Don't hesitate because you have never been in print. Salient will print everything readable and neither obscene nor libellous. Although not essential contributions should be typed, on one side to the paper, and no longer than 800 words, but extra space is available.

Here is a chance to take part in an activity most characteristic of a University. Thinking, plain speaking and argument. Salient is a combination of informal, round-table, debating, those pleasing discussions you have over coffee, caf chatter, the remarks of the corridor groups and even the bitter wisecracks of common room stoics.

This is a discernible expression of the University's intelligent give and take. We hope that you do not stay on the sideline when it is so easy to join in.
