Salient Open Day
Wednesday, May 28, 1975
" Salient cannot survive without increased student participation', avowed editor Bruce Robinson today. Bruce was speaking from his ward in Porirua Hospital where he has been for the last few weeks. Ever since staff numbers rounded off at the figure of one. Bruce has been feeling that perhaps its not all worth it.
Bruce went on to say that he was going to have one more try at getting more students involved in their very own newspaper. Me was organising an Open Day during which people could come into the Salient office and learn how to do Reporting. Layout, Cartoons and Graphics, News Photography, Reviewing, Sub-editing and creative writing among other things from the various Salient experts. Also, Bruce said, he would be arranging for people to put all these skills into practice to put out leaflets or posters or a special section for the next week's Salient.
At the end of the Open Day there would be a staff meeting to which all students would be invited. Bruce said he hoped that it would be a session of useful and constructive discussion about Salient's role at Victoria and students' role in Salient.
