Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol 1, No. 12 June 22, 1938

R. W. Edgley.

(a)Because a number of persons have asked me to stand. Last year I took the thing on with a degree to complete, and now I have my degree I have a little more leisure. I want to finish off a number of matters that are now only. Half completed.
(b)I think there is hope of Britain staying out of a war, but not the rest of the world. Whether Britain is wise in doing so is another question.
(c)A certain amount of control must and always will be exercised by the Professorial Board. But on a matter of definite principle the students should be prepared to stand up for their rights.
(d)There is not enough college news in it. The whole tone of the paper has been lifted very high, but I don't think a lot of the political stuff appeals to the average student.
(e)The university should if possible act as part of the town and not as an aloof portion of it. We can benefit the town and ourselves, and the town will then become proud of the University. Also, I believe in the closer co-operation between the Clubs, with the Exec. As a communicating channel.
