Rumour has it that the newly elected member for Hutt, Mr T. J. Young retiring superintendent of the N.Z. Alliance was invited to attend Drench. An invitation to speak was also extended to Mr Young. It is understood that lemonade was not available.
Holy, holy
Some interesting placards at Dave Shand's protest party: "The Pill is a Protestant Plot to Prevent the Propagation of Protestants"; "Hollyoake has borer".
Dear Outside Left
It would appear that you have certainly left the left side out in your report on student attitudes to the Czechs. Should you care to engage in a minimum of research you might find that the Labour Club gave its support to Czech reforms at its AGM in March, at which time the Spartacist Club was not even affiliated to the Students' Association. Yours sincerely, M. Hirschfeld.

Ironic perhaps, that the present Salient office will become a lavatory block when the Student Union building is extended? Doug White said something about "relieving strain on overcrowded facilities!"
Crude headings
A Botany I student in his theory exam confused life cycles of two algae Ulva and Volvox. Due to the confusion and an unfortunate juxtaposition of the two names the examiner was presented with a labelled diagram purporting to be that of a Vulva.

Another student labelled the reproductive structures of a seaweed, Hormosira as contraceptacles instead of concaptacles—no Popish influence in the plant world!!
