The Last Editorial

With this, the last issue of the year. We have one or two rather disjointed comments to make, which seem to happen naturally at the winding up process which occurs at the and of the year. We regret that are unable to publish a report on the visitors debate, but it occurred at the time when we were going to press and therefore, no account of it is available. The number of issues this year is more than was originally planned—the issue previous to this being in the nature of a special issue to cover the Building Question: subscription holders got this free; others had to pay.

The new format is in the nature of an experiment, which may or may not be carried on next year; It it a trifle more expensive, but the comments we have heard have caused us to believe that it is worth the extra printing cost. The readers views on the subject would be appreciated, as a guide for next year's Editor.

To all of you who are sitting exams offer our best wishes and trust that afterwards the patient will make a speedy recovery. To those who are to pass on this year we have this to say: if you have done something about the College then you deserve well, for your time here has not been wasted. As far as the trudges are concerned we can only express the pious (and probably quite unjustifiable hope) that they will be of more use to the community than they were to the University.

With the municipal elections near we are reminded that, here at least, is one section of the community who can be the subject of close scrutiny by students. Those entitled to vote would be wise to consider the claims of those who have a particular interest in the University. Two candidates are members of the part-time teaching staff at the college end have an understanding of the problems facing students We have obtained a statement from each of them and their comments appear elsewhere in this issue.

The Editor wishes to thank the staff for their support and co-operation throughout his term of office and the Editor end staff wish to thank you for your tolerance. . . .

And so we say, "ave atqe vale.. ."
