Publications

Stud Ass. publications met with varying success .the report said. "Salient" is still running at a considerable loss, but circulation reached an all-time high of 1450 copies per issue. "Cappicade" should show a profit of about £1100 from sales of 26,000 copies. Spike, 1961, on the other hand, through lack of support from Vic, was a "dismal failure." "Cappicade", according to the report, once again "walked the tightrope between the witty and the obscene" and was sold to "divers third persons".

The main trouble with the Public Relations portfolio, the report said, was "to find a defined and useful set of duties to fall under this heading" The P.R.O. mentioned such duties as the arrangement of secondary school tours, regular articles in daily newspapers, an annual Open House Week, the provision of outside advertising for suitable student events and publicity for some of the more interesting academic work being done at Vic. Future plans include talks over the air or to town organizations. Little comment was made about the Rubbish Stunt and the report 'claimed that removal of public prejudice about students was "more a matter of individual contacts" than of official action by the Association.

The House Committee mentioned the extensive damage to S.U.B. I facilities, particularly in the Common Room.
