We (Still) Apologise

We (Still) Apologise

For a larger than usual crop of misprints and misplaced lines in our List issue—due to the strain on the editorial and printing stall of bringing out two issues a week apart, in particular:
  • —The article on the H-bomb at the top of the front page which lapsed into verse (with lines horribly hustled) was Not lifted from Hymns A. & M. at all, but contributed by B. G. Giogan, who assures us it was quite original.
  • —The two paragraphs about the Student Press Council which got into the introduction to B.A.H.'s review of the first Rugby XV really had (as you may have suspected) no right to be there. They belong to quite a different article which is published in full this issue.
  • —The three lines on P. 6 under the heading "Capping Comment" really belonged at the beginning of the article "Procesh on Friday" on P. 1, and were intended to bridge the gap in readers' minds between Hbomb tests and capping festivities.
  • —Two of the quotations from Fairbum which appeared as continuous prose were in fact verse, and should have been differently lineated.
  • —The caption to the photograph on P. 5 suggested that the final of the 880 yards at Tournament had taken place on May 8. This is not so. It all resulted from the fact that a caption attached to the block by the Otago Daily Times (to whom we are indebted for both our Tournament illustrations) was mistakenly copied verbatim without mutandis being mutatis, so to speak.
