Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 30, No. 10. 1967.

A new era Go girl, go!

A new era Go girl, go!

Sir—A new era has dawned! International Affairs Officer, Rose Booth, has been organising rice supplies for needy Asians (bless her sweet soul) and selling it at cost price in the cafe.

But, dear Rose, why stop here? A bit of imagination, a dash of daring, and we have frogs for the French, pasta for the Italianos, haggis for the Jocks, Kosher for the Jews (sorry Israelies), flapjacks for the Yanks, Puha and huhu grubs for our own brown skin brothers etc, etc; and of course, fish, chips and free beer for unemployed pakeha students.

We could have a daily market, 9-10am in the cafe. Students in national costume selling their indigenous munchies, dancing horas, swinging pois and so forth.

Fritz could take a small percentage to compensate for any disruption, or better still, collect any stale leftovers and cook them up for lunch.

Think of the scope for organising sales, distribution, advertising etc. Enough to delight and cater for all the little bureaucratic cruds at varsity.

Rose, your little germ of an idea could flourish into a festering epidemic; a Covent Garden—Maori hangi ail rolled into one. Go girl, go!
