The reporter briefed to interview Minn Okman for the next issue of "Salient" has Just appeared with the latest news: Miss Okman says that the negotiations with the Socialist Club have reached the stage where one of the most senior members of the Club has been trying to persuade her to speak on "Songs of the Irish Peasantry" rather than Comrade Beria. Miss Okman felt at first that she was not sufficiently well up in thin subject; but she says the gentleman is very persuasive and the issue is at present in doubt.

She also said that If Salient is invited to the Spinsters-Bachelors' inaugural function, we will find among the finalists for the Miss University contest Mr. John Cody (Miss History). Mr. Peter Chat win (Miss Torts). Mr. Patrick Ac. Hutchings (Miss Philosophy). Mr. Ian Free (Miss Exec). Mr. Chris. Beeby (Miss Fresher), Mr. Bill Sheat (Miss Law Faculty). Mr. Trev. Turner (Miss Biology). Mr. Frank Curtin (Miss Salient), and Mr. Ian Rich (Miss Weir House).

When we asked Miss Okman about the rumoured presentation of debutantes the was as noncommittal as usual, and would only say that she thought things were done very nicely at Government House, and that any presentation ceremony modelled on that would be most effective.
