Letters to the Editor

Caf Chaff

Sir,—With the beginning of a new year of study close at hand, may I express my hope that the cafeteria will provide more and better fare for students this year. Last year the A.G.M. of the students' association passed a motion that the meals were low in quantity. This motion was a genuine complaint and was supported outside A.G.M.

The president, Mr D. Wilson, made representations to the cafeteria and there was a marked improvement in the quantity of the meals for a few weeks. Unfortunately the standard of meals slipped and in the final few months of last term no traces of Mr Wilson's pleas could be seen in cafeteria meals.

A satisfying meal at a reasonable price is all I ask. Can something be done about it this year?

Hungry.

(Salient proposes to watch this.—Ed.)

Sir,—In recent years many lecturers have moaned about the alarming failure rate at Victoria. Did they have to contend with the charms of Miss Rosie and the dangers inherent in a common common room? I think not. The present undergraduate has even got to contend with the intricacies of lifts in the science block and women in slacks.

I remain yours,

I Thrice Failed.

(Try again.—Ed.)

Sir,—What we girls really want from Salient is something lighter and brighter in the literature line—not quite boy advises girl or a fashion preview and definitely nothing in the Aunt Daisy line. No unmarried girl should know of the things she talks about, and certainly cannot mention them in public.

Perhaps something with a little personal human interest—What happens at 4 a.m. at Congress—I worked hard, by "A Full-timer"—Unaccustomed as I am, by a Weir House Casanova, or even "Why Babysitters?"

Surely there is some talent around Vic (ask the male population—not us).

—Your anxiously,

Future Mother of Six (?)

(Like some help?—Ed.)
