Staff v. Students

News From The Battlefield

Alas, good resolutions never last long! We remarked in our last issue that our attitude towards the staff would be sweet rather than vitriolic. But is it true that: "You can catch more, flies with a spoonful of honey, than a barrelful of vinegar?" For the staff after along period of quiet have awakened to "Salient's" existence. The latest is that Mr. Rogers, senior lecturer in accountancy, remarks vehemently to his class, that he would like to get his hands on the writer who in our first issue chastised commerce students as "a great part of the dull, grey, flood—the lifeless mass."

We hope that Mr. Roger? will realise that the pen is mightier than the sword, and will cut the writer to pieces in our columns, rather than in the Biology dissecting room.

It was noticeable that a more severe criticism directed at science students has not penetrated the "Ivory Towers."

As a result of the above "Salient" has joined the Swords Club and is sharpening its sabre for the Staff-Student debate on April 4.

Moral for Mr. Rogers: A touche is always followed by an attack.
