Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 27, No. 12. 1964.

Acceptance Unanimous

Acceptance Unanimous

The report found the unanimous acceptance and approval of the publications committee. Nevertheless the recommendations for compensatory payment made therein were largely ignored. Instead it was resolved that a Salient scholarship be set up. It seemed to be the feeling of the committee that a scholarship scheme would be a satisfactory compromise between those who opposed paying students for services on principle' and those who felt that Salient constituted one of those cases where an exception was necessary and justifiable.

It now remains for the publications committee, under the guidance of its chairman, Chris Robertson, to present a detailed draft of the terms and conditions for the scholarship. This draft, after it has been reviewed by the education committee, would then be submitted to the executive for final approval and implementation.

Because many of the present executive members were present neither at the publications committee nor the executive meetings which discussed the proposals, there could be a tendency for the executive to re-argue the issue. It might even question the recommendation of Its predecessors. The latter course would constitute a retrograde step; the question has been discussed generally for the last five years and in detail for the last 12 months. Any further procrastination would jeopardize the existence of Salient and the financial and philosophical welfare of the association.
