Colour Bar

Salient thinks that Colour Bar is good. So you think the bright, shockingly loud colours should be removed from Salient's pages? Publication; officers detest it; ex-editors! groan over it; some readers read Salient with sun-glasses on; and the associate editor of the; Otago Daily Times does not; think much of it. Yet, with respect to O.D.T., the Salient editor likes it.

Anyway, the colour bar is staying in—for several reasons. The editor likes it; it serves to fill in space; and, perhaps, it is precisely the editor's intention to annoy people who criticise! but not write. Tell us this, that; and the other. Sure. But Write; something also. We cannot be!; selective unless there is plenty!; of material to pick from. And if we remove the colour bar, there will be just a blank space; there. The editor will disregard; his personal affection for the! colour bar and have it removed; on one condition: More and; Better material is forthcoming. Furthermore, this material must come in before copy date closes. Until You, wretched; Victoria, decide to play your part, the colour bar will stay in.
