Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 11. 1966.

On the grapevine

On the grapevine

Miss Uni.

Miss University 1966 is Bobbi Menzies. a first year arts and training college student (see photos at right of page). She won cosmetics donated by the Max Factor firm and is to travel to Auckland for the national contest Judges Mike Moynihan. Mrs. J. Todd and Ann McHugh quizzed contestants for an hour, and then a half-hour show, compered by Steve Whitehouse, amused a capacity Memorial Theatre.

Salient editor

Salient Co-Editors for 1967 are Gerard Curry and Barrie Saunders. Unsuccessful candidates for the position were Peter Boyes and Neil Gibson. No applicant for the Cappicade editorship has yet been found.

Forum letter

Mr. Tony Haas, whose views on Forum led him to move a motion at the recent SGM. calling for the admission of the press, has written a long letter to Salient criticising the reporting of the SGM discussion. His major point is that he does not believe any students association motion can exclude the press. The letter will be printed next term.

Viet Cong

Those Viet Cong pamphlets do exist although they remain as mysterious as ever. Salient has been faithfully assured by several people that "that know who issued them" —but the explanations differ. The most likely one is. how-ever, that they were issued by one student who thought the whole thing rather amusing— which is not to say it was a hoax but a complicated political move incomprehensible to most people!

And next . . ?

Rankine Browne building, previously the scene of heat waves and power failures, on Wednesday suffered a flood. Salient's religious editor, after careful study, says it appears the next event should be a plague of locusts.

In a quick about-face. NZUSU has decided that Victoria did win the 1965 Winter Tournament after all. They have ruled R. Rosemergy to be eligible for a 1965 NZU blue, and at the same time removed the disqualification on the Victoria A hockey team.

It Would Appear that some people in America are becoming a little concerned about rapid advances made recently by the Civil Rights Movement. Salient has picked up off the grapevine a report about a new organisation in New York known as SPNGE —Society for Preventing Negroes from Gaining Everything.
