Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington Vol. 24, No. 6. 1961.

[introduction]

From May 3, when a certain notorious book termed "Cappicade," is issued to sellers, until May 20, the last night of Extravaganza, 1961, in Wellington, Capping festivities will take place. Somehow, much responsibility will fall on the Capping Controller.

I am taking this opportunity to ask all who may in any way be involved in Capping activities (over the 17-day "week") to act with some measure of responsibility and civility. Enjoy yourself. Let your hair down, "let off steam," (I'll be doing all three), but do so within certain limits. Over the last two years your Executive has endeavoured to foster better relations with the City Fathers and the business community. At last we seem to be getting somewhere, as witness the appreciation shown by the City Council of our efforts in selling Treasure Charts.

Any repetition of what may be called less pleasant episodes associated with Capping, a few years ago, will result in a drastic deterioration in our civic standing. Be amusing and witty, but not insulting!
