Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 21, No. 10. August 6, 1958

[Debating]

Debating will be an outstanding attraction this tournament, because of the arrival of the Australian Universities' team which will be meeting the N.Z.U. team in Wellington and teams from the individual universities in the main centres through the holidays.

The C.U. team will meet Lincoln at Tournament. Lincoln will be scalp-hunting because we've kept a few souvenirs from the evening last month when the Lincoln team came to Varsity to defend the N.Z. farmer and his innocence in the present economic situation—and was routed.

Florence Jones is the Chairman of the Dialectic Society and in the last lap of a B.A. She has an advantage in having led the Joynt Scroll team in Auckland last year against Massey. In selling ideas the contrives, I think, to give an impression of sweet reasonableness and she uses sarcasm like discount tickets to help the sale along.

Lindsay Moore is a fresher who comes all enthusiastic from three years in the B.H.S. debating team. On the platform he's aggressive and non-compromising. His opponents feel like bits of metal being ponded on anvils.
