The Last Word

This is our last issue for, 1948. We wish to thank all contributors and particularly all those who have helped in the production of the paper, not all of whom appear in the list of staff for this issue. Particular thanks are due to Bill Cameron who edited the paper during the first term. He had a difficult job in effecting a change in printers and in editing a larger paper than VUC has ever had, and we consider that he managed to do this well and to improve the standard of the paper at the same time.

1948 must have been the stormiest year in the history of VUC. We have had four executives in office, two elections and four general meetings. While we do not think that all is fair in love and war (and this was a war) we do believe that the internal strife that has been such a feature of student life this year, is a healthy sign. It indicates that a larger number of students are taking an interest in the affairs of the association, and such an interest must produce an awareness of the problems and conflicts of the real world outside the university.
