Spinsters' And Bachelors' Unite!

In an interview with the Hon. Angela Phipps, "Salient" learned that the next function of the Spinsters' and Bachelors' Clubs is to be an Investiture, to be held in the Upper Gymnasium on Friday, June 4.

The Hon. Angela said that a large number of guests are being invited, and that she is confident that the function will compare very favorably with the similar ceremony held in Wellington earlier this year. Her experience in the prostrations for that event will, she is assured, prove most useful.

Asked about details of the Investiture, the Hon. Angela said that the awards will commemorate deeds beneficial to the academic, civic and national communities, and that the arts will not be forgotten, nor even the world of trade. The recipients will represent a variety of Faculties.

On behalf of the Spinsters' Club, the Hon. Angela stated that the Club is debating whether or not to seek affiliation with the Delilah Club of Oxford University. The members of this club go out only with male students who wear beards; it is a recognised convention that the beards need not be grown by the wearers. The Hon. Angela said that the Duke of Edinburgh were a beard some years ago and looked simply divine.

"I have always believed that love is the most beautiful thing in the world, and has nothing to do with sex."
