Have You a Dirty Mind?

Readers of Salient will, perhaps, have noticed the derogatory remarks fired at this year's Cappicade by Vaux and other "critics." What you may not know, however, is that almost the entire material in it sprang from the "fertile" brains of the "Editorial Committee' and, more particularly, from that of the Editor.

What we, at this College, fail to appreciate is that for a thing to be good there must be whole-hearted enthusiasm for it on all sides. Why leave it to the few and then moan and groan afterwards when you don't like the result?

Here, then, is an opportunity for all to participate in. This year's effort, they say was "sterile"—can You make it better next year? Can You think up bawderline jokes? Can You write or draw funny pictures? Next year's Cappicade is being planned now on the lines of a parody of some weekly magazine or journal. Naturally, this requires all the "funny men" now hiding in obscurity to come forward and offer their talent. There is no need to start work on it until early next year but it would be a help if we could see how many, are willing to work and not just criticise.

Recall to mind those jokes you told at the last reunion! Make up some you wouldn't tell even at a reunion! Be smart! Be wise! Be witty! and get in touch with me via the letter rack in the men's common room.
