Off The Grapevine

Doomed Students?

Reports that a small band of hungry students have been roaming the library for days, unable to escape, have not yet been confirmed. It was alleged that the students had been trapped like rats in a psychologist's maze by the fiendish cunning of the people who decide each day which doors in the library will be unlocked. The students are believed to be near starvation point, but a Salient reporter sent to investigate last Wednesday has not yet returned.

Local Lottery

Little Metal Tags are now being issued to students who enter the library. Confusion reigned at first, as students tried to establish what the tags were for. Some suggested that they were to carry the blood group of an anonymous donor, or the receiver, or both. Others thought that they were radiation counters that would tick if a danger level of radiation was reached, while yet another suggestion was that they were identification tags to be shown in event of capture by the Vietcong. Or the Chinese. Or anyone.

Cappicade

Cappicade Editors next year will be Steve Whitehouse and Geoff Rashbrooke. Publications committee are investigating the restyling of the publication into modern format.

Advertising

Another national student organisation has been formed. The Advertising Managers of all the student papers in New Zealand have formed themselves into the New Zealand University Advertising Managers' Assoc. (NZUAMA). The objects of the new association are to facilitate liaison between university advertising managers and to help promote the sale of advertising space in their papers. The President of NZUAMA is John Harlow, Advertising Manager of Salient.

Longer Hours

Longer Weekend Openings are being considered for the Student Union next year. A proposal for opening the union on Sunday evenings is one of those under consideration. It is thought that this could assist clubs such as the Film Society which have held some Sunday functions in the past.

Health Shift

Student Health Service have shifted and this term have had their offices at 2 Wai-te-ata Road.

Fees

Waikato students will pay a £6 Students' Association fee next-year. The current fee is £1, £2 of the new fee will go into a building fund.

The Cost

Estimates are now available for the cost to the Students' Association of the Student Action demonstration, the Cable Car Appeal, and the Teach-in.

The Teach-In cost about £100, of which about half is made up of travelling expenses incurred by the speakers. The student action demonstrations cost about £150, and the Cable Car appeal about £50.

Social Controller

New Social Controller is Don Griffin, a candidate for Capping Controller in the last elections and currently assistant Tournament controller. Miss Sue Wild, a second-year arts student, was an unsuccessful candidate.
