Yiddish Translated

Already slogans have appeared across University buildings this year.

The theme of the signs, which appeared during arts enrolment, was an attack on the academic structure of the university: a swastica was painted on the doors of the Administration Building, and such slogans as "Fuck Academics", "No Meal Tickets," "Fuck exams," "Cunt Power" and "Eat Shit Motherfuckers" were plastered on various buildings. The assistant principla, Dr. Culliford, commenting on their appearance, said that while they were not the first signs of this nature to appear, they were undoubtedly the most obscene yet. He could not find any theme in the slogans, and thought them "obscenity for obscenity's sake," although he admitted that they differed from others in that the spelling seemed a little better.

There was some adverse student reaction: while Graeme Collins thought the colour "enchanting," many others thought the display a puerile imitation of American trends of four or five years ago. There was agreement, however, that it was a genuine expression of feeling about the present university system.

The centrespread of this issue is a more exact expression of this dissent, and is reprinted with the excision of a few words, exactly as it was [unclear: left] on the wall of the Salient office.
