"Salient" extends felicitations to Mr. W. N. Sheat, LL.B., B.A. on the occasion of his engagement to Miss Genivieve Leicester. It seems that all of the old guard are breaking up. Mr. Sheat, a member of the Men's committee of the retiring executive, did not seek re-election as he is not a financial member of the Association.

On a dare from a professor at the Oklahoma. A & M University, who insisted that unconventionality is dead, an experimenting student took a noon hour stroll on the crowded co-educational campus in his underwear. It is reported that the feat "hardly raised an eyebrow." (Observation Post, New York).

At midday a few saturdays ago a small 20-year-old car drove down St. George's Street in Cape Town, and parked across the middle of the road outside the "Cape Times" offices. Its four student occupants climbed out, took off one of the wheels and deserted the car with a "Gone to Tea" sign on the front. Fifteen minutes later two traffic policemen arrived. While the Saturday traffic piled up on each side of the obstruction, they put the wheel back on the car, and got it out of the way. The incident was the students' answer to an editorial in the "Cape Times" that morning which said that students' had "gone to the dogs" because they got up to no pranks these days.

The editorial was inspired by a report that 25 students had marched down the streets of Pearl, singing out the Vintage Festival. Why only 25? the editorial asked. While the diversion of the car was created, other students clambered up to the "Cape Times" balcony and [unclear: shung] up a 15foot banner, reading "Here's to the 25." (S.A. Students, Cape Town).
