Principal points of the new business policy include change of printer for the paper and replacement of the subscription sales system by cash sales only. The revised advertising policy provides for a greater drive for commercial advertising as an important source of revenue and strict curtailment of free club advertisements.

Editorial policy provides initially for concentration on strictly student news to the exclusion of international affairs commentary and general articles.

The decision to change Salient's printer was made solely for financial reasons after a thorough and realistic examination of the paper's budget problems. A substantial drop in production costs is expected to result from the change.

Salient's New Look

Although the paper will be slightly different in appearance, mainly owing to the use of different typo faces, it is expected that the new look will be at least as attractive as the old.

Reorganization of Salient Room and a new staff setup are features of the paper's domestic administration. The large nominal reporting staff of previous years has been dispensed with and greater reliance placed on contacts and correspondents. This does not mean that new staff members are not wanted; the editor is anxious to hear from anyone interested in contributing to the paper on either literary, business or technical sides.

Salient Room will be open at specified hours each week throughout the year so that all students may have an opportunity to visit the paper's headquarters and meet the editor and staff.

"Visiting hours" will be advised on the Salient section of the club notice board. During those hours staff members will be present to discuss, and receive suggestions for the paper. Files of other New Zealand and overseas student newspapers will be available for reading.
