Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25. No. 13. 1962

Mr Robb admitted that he had been approaching students asking if they had paid in their money, even when he suspected that they had paid it. This action he attempted to justify on the grounds that if they had paid they would quickly say so and if not they would pay up. This may be an effective means of operating but it is not very fair.

All clubs and individuals have now received their commission. Considerable confusion has arisen in this matter as some students deducted their commission whilst others failed to do so. One student threw the organisers into complete confusion by selling a half day for himself and a half day for a club. These matters are now cleared up.

Both Mr Robb and Mr Cornford were satisfied that adequate records were kept, but Mr Cornford neglected to mention that one of the record books had gone missing. This admittedly was not the fault of the organisers, but of the driver of the van in which the record book was supposed to be left.

Mr Robb claims that there were a number of mistakes made in the distribution of Cappicade. It does appear however that most of these mistakes arose because Mr Robb had too little assistance with the distribution. Only 50 people volunteered to act as Cappicade sellers. As a result he had to spend too much time himself selling and enough organising. It would also appear that Mr Robb had to carry out a number of jobs which should have been more properly done by other members of the distribution staff.

Salient unreservedly apologises for suggesting that the organisation for the distribution of this years Cappicade was in any way worse' than in past years. In fact it would appear that matters were infinitely better organised than in past years. But they were far from perfect and Salient does not apologise for asking the questions that it did.

Further, we take very strong exception to the accusations made against the integrity of this paper and one of its staff by Mr Cornford. Our story was not entirely without foundation as Mr Cornford has claimed. Salient took the trouble to ask Mr Cornford's Business Manager. Did he?
