Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 20, No. 3. 4th April, 1957

[Notes on topics of interest and private enterprise]

Of Interest Yet.

This year there is a larger number than usual of foreign students at Vic. mostly newly arrived in New Zealand. They tend, like all students, to stay in their own racial groups. It would be appreciated by these students who are unfamiliar with the English language if they were invited out individually by people of similar interests and if club secretaries made a special effort to bring them into the various club activities. Any students interested in meeting overseas newcomers, or an foreign students in difficulties. Miss McCracken of V.U.C.S.A. Exec. is there o help.

Private Enterprise: Recently a bookshop in town was selling a limited supply of a well-known American text-book extensively used in a certain Department at V.U.C., at a highly reduced rate. A certain second-hand dealer bought up the entire stock and is re-selling them at almost double the price. The book is out of print, and almost impossible to obtain elsewhere—the only copy in the S.C.M. bookstall was snapped up the first day. If the seller wished, he could actually demand three or four times the price.
