Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 4. April 27, 1959

[Introduction]

Easter Tournament has once again produced complaints about N.Z.U. Blues. Are they justified? In this article I will try to show that the complaints of many sports are fully justified. The responsible sportsman is the best judge of standards and once the selectors, officials or anyone else loses his support he may as well turn to drink.

Clause 53 of the N.Z.U. Blues regulations states "In arriving at a standard the Panel (Blues Panel) shall have regard to the standard of a good provincial team." This regulation would appear to be more honoured in the breach than the observance.

I intend dealing with N.Z.U. representation in a future article, so will not touch on this contentious subject in this issue.
