Murray Boldt, elected Men's Vice-President by a 2-to-1 majority in the recent elections. Was his victory personal or political?

Forum

Mr. Boshier, who is now widely known on campus for his boisterous, violent and [unclear: some times] bitter orations, has demonstrated another side to his character. At Forum a week ago, and at the AGM last [unclear: y]Wednesday he showed that he is prepared, on occasions, to be as constructive as he is critical. It is much harder to be constructive than critical, yet Mr. Boshier has managed well.

Which brings to mind Mr. John McKinlay. He knows too that it is easy to be destructive. So he tried it at Forum last Thursday. And he demonstrated conclusively (although unintentionally) that whereas Boshier is master of both arts. McKinlay is master of neither.

Boshier clearly did not enjoy listening to McKinlay. "Politics," said Boshier afterwards, "sometimes gets like this." He sounded sad—G.E.J.L.

Waikato

A Maori campaign to raise £30,000 for Halls of Residence at Waikato University will open in July. The campaign will be on a national basis. The secretary of the campaign committee. Mr. J. R. Day, has said that the Maori people attach great importance to Waikato University.

A Fact

The paper used for the last issue of Salient would have covered an area of 2½ acres. Laid end-toend, the four-page units would have stretched for 7.2 miles.

Surveillance

Surveillance will appear on July 21. In a telegram to the Wellington editor recently, the Managing editor of Surveillance said the first issue of the national student newspaper will appear on campuses all over New Zealand on this dale. Price 6d.

Uplift

The Easterfield lifts, rated to carry 3000 pounds, are often crammed full of students whose combined weight greatly exceeds the permissible maximum. The result is often a lift sunk about six feet below floor level. After study week, however, this situation will be no more.

A cunning device is being fitted to each lift to prevent operation while overloaded. When the load on the cables reaches 3000 pounds, a switch is tripped and the lift won't operate. The only way to get it to go again is for enough people to get out to bring the load down to 3000 pounds.

Cats

Sounds like a wailing of a tortured cat have been emanating from the Hunter Building at sporadic intervals over the last few weeks. An ex-physics student told Salient recently that it was not a cat but a stage II physics class that was responsible Tor the ghastly cacophony. This student talked learnedly of glass tubing, corks, harmonic frequencies. And things. We didn't understand a word of it. Perhaps some physics student could throw some light on the whole intriguing matter.

Singing

Folk Singing. The first ever large-scale, locally-produced folk concert is to be presented in the Concert Chamber on Thursday next at 8pm. The programme should be interesting—singers include the student group of Geoff and Linda, commerce student Rod McKinnon, and school teacher Val Murphy.
