Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 30, No. 8. 1967.

On the grapevine

On the grapevine

Chivalry still?

Chivalry still lives on at Victoria. A couple of days ago an indignant student stormed into Salient office brandishing the relics of a well-torn and cursed election poster. Those much-talked-about smear tactics were about to be exposed.

But it's a little upsetting when you happen to misread the order of two three-lettered words. It's certainly embarrassing to find your self-righteous scorn has been misplaced.

Just change the order of the words "you can" and can you get a rather nasty rhetorical question?

Low block voting

Just what does the president of the Law Faculty Club intend when he puts up neat little lists about which law students are standing for exec? It's about time that attempts to induce block faculty voting were scorned for the nonsense that they are.

Free tickets

Bill Evans, the first person to offer to act as a guide during the University Open Day, received two free theatre tickets.

These were contributed by an anonymous citizen to show that the public was not entirely uninterested in the university's activities.

Apple campaign

Campaigning for the elections really is going a little close to the absurd when a candidate offers freshly-picked apples to eat while bewildered students read his election blurt. Mind you, it does provide a catchy theme "Feast on Easton,"

Toro

It Was a quiet show, the science ball, but somehow Toro got quietly. A dance on the railing running along SUB pathway set the delicate atmosphere for a couple of well-executed dives on to the turf. Luckily the wife was there to pick up the pieces and throw them into the pit.

Too tar

Well. well, some executive members really don't know what student elections are all about!

It's a bit narkham to discover that one exec member thought it would be just lovely to nominate or second lots of the oncoming burocrats. It can be such an exciting game.

Though it does seem that nominating one prospective Men's Vice President and seconding his opponent is going a bit far. But then politicians are supposed to sit on the fence.

Loftiness

The great "In Fact" election sheet must take the cake for pure farce. In fact, the initials at the bottom were in lower case—in fact, this was a true indication of the loftiness of the whole effort. In fact, this" is not the way to win votes in an election.
