Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 25. No. 13. 1962

[introduction]

Mr. L. Cornford, Distribution' Manager for the last Cappicade and currently Capping Controller, used his position on Executive to indulge in an attack upon the writer of the article headed 'Big Cappicade Scandal" which appeared in the last issue of Salient. During his remarks Mr Cornford described the article as being completely without foundation. At the time exec, members had to accept Mr C's story but managed to avoid considering a motion condemning Salient.

When interviewed by a Salient reporter Mr Cornford repeated his remarks and chose to regard the article as an attack upon his own and Mr Robb's honesty. No such implication was contained in the article.

Upon being told that Salient could produce evidence which would substantiate the bulk of our allegations Mr Cornford stated that the "Salient article was completely incorrect."

However, Mr Robb, immediate past treasurer of the Association and Cappicade Business Manager, had a different story to tell. "The article," stated Mr Robb, "contained a few errors, but was largely correct."

The facts, according to Mr Robb, are these: two hundred Cappicades are missing.
