Salient Editors 1975

No less than three young students will be jointly taking over Roger Steele's office next year. Equipped with one year's work each on Salient, they intend to make next year's paper even more of a student's newspaper.

The policy will be to emphasise the University and the local community ahead of national and international news. The editors aim to print as many stories of use to students as possible, on accommodation, the gym, sports, reviews, full coverage of forums and more information on the doings of the University Council, Studass Exec, and NZUSA. To encourage students to question the way they are taught, Salient will continue to print critiques of courses and departments.

In the local community we will concentrate on news of TPA, the Courts, education and the City Council.

To carry out these designs, the editors will be relying on contributions and help from as many people as possible. It's an easy staff to join — you just walk in the door, We will need students to help with proofreading, corrections and layout, as well as anyone with technical skills in photography or drawing. We will be soliciting for written contributions on all activities interesting or concerning students, and people are needed to do specialised jobs like making tea or tidying up the office.

There will be at least two or three staff [unclear: meetings] in the first couple of months, open to all students with criticisms and suggestions on how Salient is run. The first meeting will be advertised in the first issue of 1975, so call in and make Salient the sort of paper you want.
