Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 26, No. 2. 1963.

No Go

No Go

A Serious young accountancy student tried to flog his University Handbook through the S.C.M. bookstall for 2/6.

This handbook had been issued to him free when he came to University two years ago. Almost all the information in the publication is now out of date.

A spokesman for the S.C.M. said that the item had been rejected for the sale, after consultation.

You know how Canterbury has its Pooh Sticks competition on the Avon. I think that Vic should have its own distinctive event.

I think we should have a soapbox derby down Kelburn Parade. I don't think more than a few people would be killed in such an event, and anyway it would provide some entertainment for the onlookers. It would be a mistake to stop the traffic, having cars and buses roaring around will make things more enjoyable.

Well, the editor is screaming for his copy so I'll sign off now hoping you have noticed that I am keeping my column clean and wholesome.
