Theology Wanted

Religious articles are very rare—probably the fault of College religious organisations. The only sort appearing in Salient are similar, with a few exceptions, to those of last year when, in the last issue, some paper waster called Swen, made cynical comments which would hardly be accepted by John A. Lee's fortnightly. It should not hurt students' feelings to discuss (not abuse) religion. The word "God" is almost as rare as the word "Fascist" is common in Salient.

Surely it would do the members of the Salient Staff no harm to stuff their flags in their pockets—nobody would blame them if they waved them now and then—and concentrate on publishing a good student newspaper. It requires a sense of proportion, some fair thinking, and a more careful use of fillers and rewrites.

Salient staff may think that they are sound, but there are those who disagree. Some may even be gullible enough to believe them all. We could do with less of the bias and childishness we had in that lamented issue after last year's Madhouse meeting.

This College requires an organ of student opinion that will be a force in student affairs. Will it ever get it? The answer is for Salient staff, and you, the readers.

Veritas.
