May I congratulate Mr. D. Cohen on his letter in the first issue of this year's "Salient." I have since discussed this matter with students and from these discussions would like to make a few pertinent suggestions.

I believe, with Mr. Cohen, that a Progressive Club or Association is very necessary, in order to "pep up" the University student life. I also believe that the Students' Association Executive would welcome such a move, as they too must be handicapped by the existing student apathy. If Mr. Cohen were to approach a few enthusiasts from various clubs, I am sure a pro-tem committee could be set up, with a view to organising a mass meeting of students in order to foster more interest in the various college activities.

My personal opinion is that the secondary school authorities should be approached with a view to properly outlining exactly what is expected of students coming to the University. While sport and college activities are regimented at the secondary schools, freshers are not compelled to be actively engaged in University affairs. This apparent freedom is misconstrued by freshers and the first duty of a Progressive Club should be the immediate correction of such views.

I look forward to the formation of such a body and would like to take this opportunity of offering my services in any capacity whatsoever in order to bring to fruition a Progressive Club or Association.—Yours faithfully.
