Salient. Official Newspaper of the Victoria University Students' Association. Vol 44 No. 9. May 4 1981
[Introduction]
This special report has delayed the publication of Salient by 24 hours. The paper normally goes away to the printer every Friday. In this case we have covered Sunday's meeting because it is an important issue, and because this is the last issue of the first term.
Salient has been aware of the financial difficulties of Student Travel Bureau for the past three weeks. However, we have faced difficulties reporting the situation for two major reasons. The first is that all the facts of the situation were not available until recently, and secondly that many of these facts were (and still are) part of some incomplete, delicate financial arrangements amongst some of the involved parties.
By the time of the next issue of Salient (in term two), negotiations are likely to have been completed, and we will be in a position to bring you detailed reports of the episode's solution.
Finally, Salient wishes to thank President Virginia Adams and STB Managing Director David Cuthbert for the access they have been willing to give Salient to reports and information on the current situation.
