Sports Clubs Take Note

As you are no doubt aware, Easter Tournament is being held in Christchurch this year. In our pre-Tournament issue of Canta we intend to feature comments on all four teams competing in the eight sports. This is of course, specially in order to annoy the Sports Editors.

I would be very grateful if you would help me out by gathering the material on your own teams and forwarding it to me. I don't know what arrangements you have for collecting the guff for your own rag but the deadline for copy for our pre-Tournament issue is April 6. I would like to have the copy a few days before that if possible.

I know I can rely on you to kick these Club Secretaries along, and if they are anything like ours, they will need plenty of kicks. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Freshers' Celebrations

I would like to take the opportunity of protesting about the disgraceful exhibition which took place at this year's freshers' welcome. It is unquestionably meet and proper that the beginning of the academic year should be celebrated in a fitting manner and it is traditionally the proper occasion for riotous orgies, etc., but I do most strongly feel that to make a mockery of a religious service is Not the way to celebrate. The whole affair was in extremely bad taste and seemed almost to be calculated to offend the sensibilities of those present particularly the freshers whose welcome it was supposed to be. While I do not think it was deliberately intended to offend (being, I suppose, the irresponsible idea of some misguided individual). I do nevertheless feel that if this is the best that the so-called "social club" can arrange, the sooner that club is disbanded the better.—I remain, etc.,
