Editoral

Salient

It has been Traditional for past editors to state their policy for the coming year. If only because it has sometimes been a little difficult to see any connection between stated policy and later issues were are loth to follow that tradition.

When we applied for the job the publications committee was told that the policy would be decided according to developments. That still applies, modified perhaps by thoughts that this is a University mouthpiece and as such will be first, and foremost concerned with university and Victoria in particular.

We hope to be controversial. We hope to uncover the numerous issues we suspect are lurking in the dark corners of our Alma Mater. We think we have made a start with this issue's front page. If not don't hesitate to tell us—you will notice there is plenty of room for letters.

Your problems will be our problems but can only be aired if you let us know about them.

Aside from this we hope to present articles of interest such as the series on Professor Buchanan's recent visit to China.

Executive will figure prominently in the reporting, partly to keep you informed, for if you are like others before you, you will make little attempt to keep yourselves informed, even when vitally concerned, and partly to keep exec, on its sometimes flighty toes.

But more than anything else we hope to produce something you want to read.
