Salent Staff Notes

Salent Staff Notes

One noticeable feature of Salient this year has been the appalling quality of the Staff Notes and this week is no exception. This practice follows the trend set in 1973 by Peter Franks, the then Editor of Salient and well-known ghost-writer who injected his special brand of humour Into the Staff Notes in an attempt to save an appallingly boring issue (an attempt which failed). Following this trend to its logical conclusion was great helmsman Gyles Beckford, working with the accuracy of a one-armed paper hanger who suggested to Tom Duggan and Mike Stephens that Salient hold a competition for the most incompetent staff-member in memory of absent friends.

Leading the way in this week's mediocrity stakes were Jane Wilcox. Kevin Swann and Chris Norman, closely followed by Dave Stott and Bruce Robinson who wins this week's chocolate fish for the most surrealistic speech at SRC. Judging the event with all the Impartiality of a Manawatu rugby referee was none other than Big Lenny himself while reporting the event was Salient's ace Exec reporter Eugene Doyle who still has a libel-free record. He was ably assisted by Rire Scotney, Simon Wilson and Andrew Duggan while Lynette Schum was busy taking the pictures as Rod James drew the cartoons and Angela Boyes-Barnes and Wendy Bachler typed the story.

Patrick O'Dea was excluded from the competition for turning professional as was David Murray who claims to have edited this drivel. This was actually done by Rose Collins and La morn a Rogers.
