Verb Sap.

Dear "Smad,"—

Just a few notes which may be of use to the new Executive in its worthy emulation of the new broom. Would it be possible to provide a cup, mug, or other suitable utensil in the wash-room in the College for the benefit of those of the thirsty who cannot obtain "tick" down below? Quite seriously, it is 110 joke endeavouring to insinuate one's face under a tap which is parked at the side of a wash-basin whenever a drink of water is desired. Secondly, why not make the Cafeteria tickets 34 or 36 clips for 2/6? I presume one of the most expected valuable results of the ticket inauguration is the increase in sales. The idea is sound—the owner of a ticket does tend to use it oftener than would be the case if he searched his pockets for 2d. or 3d. each time, but do you not think, Mr. Editor, a better result would be obtained if the ticket was rendered more attractive, so that everyone who uses the Cafe page 11 teria at all would not think of being without a ticket? Thirdly, if there were 36 clips for 2/6 it might be conveniently arranged to interchange them with tram tickets on the cable car. A profitable business might be built up then with passengers dropping off at Salamanca for a few clips' worth of refreshments to keep them going over the tunnel halts. Incidentally, this is a case in point. The Cable-Car Company apparently have no fault to find with their long-established system of 12 clips for 1/-, or 36 for 2/6. This is quite analagous, the effect undoubtedly being increased patronage.

Furthermore, with regard to the Library: There are quite a number of books in every section which have strayed from the fold—presumably pinched. Some of these are set books, and apart from its meaning that the absence of one of these necessitates an increase in the number of students compelled to purchase the books, it also means that they have to bring their copies with them if they wish to work from them in the Library. Could the Professorial Board be approached with a view to seeing that all the set books are on the shelves? If a book has been stolen or missing for more than six months, it seems only fair that in the interests of the remaining honest students it should be replaced. Perhaps all set books could be bound in pink with blue stripes, or have some original colour scheme so that they could not be removed unofficially. Perhaps a "broad white band on each cover and their complete registration as week-end books only would improve matters. The students as a whole, I think, would find a few of the missing set books of greater use than some of the new books that enter the shelves. No more, Mr. Editor, I'm going down to nibble at a scone.
