Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 24, No. 12. 1961.

Class Distinction

Class Distinction

Sir,—Executive candidates now they are elected reject us. This refers to the notice on the Student Association Office door; designed to foster student apathy and resentment by telling us to keep out.

There have been two notices to the effect; the first signed by Mr O'Brien, the second which replaced it was the artistic triumph of Mr Moriarty. No doubt there are many unnecessary and annoying visits to the office. But such notices could show more tact.

Perhaps if the executive came out and mixed with the ordinary students to listen to their views then the annual vote would be higher. If they thank the people who voted for them with antagonising notices then let apathy continue.

R. A. Pointon.

(Abridged.)

[The secretary appreciates Mr Pointon's views; but "tactful" notices had not worked in the past.]
