THIS editorial is addressed mainly to FRESHERS. You have come to university to pursue an academic career but we hope that you are going to find time to further an athletic career. For many years now Victoria has been notorious for her poor record in sport. We are depending on this year's freshers to rescue us from this slough of despond.

Every sport, both indoor and outdoor, has its following at V.U.C. In the first term when you arrive you will find that all the summer sports are in full swing but do not let this stop you going along and making yourself known to those who belong to the clubs in which you are interested. Unfortunately you will be ineligible to represent V.U.C. at Easter Tournament but by taking part in activities this year you will be preparing the way for participating in Easter Tournament next year. Tie Winter Sports Clubs will be getting under way towards the end of the first term and by watching the notice board you will be able to get all the information that you need. You are eligible to represent VUC at Winter Tournament.

One last word. It is possible to attend lectures and yet never get to know anyone apart from your immediate friends. The sports clubs offer you an avenue for making new friends and acquaintances. All clubs will be advertising their activities by means of the notice board and Salient and by watching these you will be in contact with all sporting activities in the college. Remember all you sporty types that you are sure of a warm welcome from any club that you are interested in.—Daphne Davey.
