Salient. Victoria University Students Newspaper. Volume 38, No 1. March 4, 1975

Editorial

Editorial

It's always difficult writing a first editorial for the year. There's a fine line between outlining the editorial 'line' so far as there is one, and ensuring that people remain interested and concerned about the paper. It's made even more difficult at present, when you have two interim editors who are only doing three issues.

The Salient story in Handbook was written by the three editors appointed by Pubs Board at the end of last year - Graeme Simpson, Margot Bourke and Mark Derby. Since then, Graeme and Margot have resigned for personal reasons, and have both left Wellington. Pubs Board considered this situation at a meeting on 8 February and appointed Anthony Ward and Mark Derby as interim co-editors for the first three issues this year, until applications for the editorship could be decided again. For those who aspire to run Salient, applications close with Colin Feslier, the Publications Officer, on Monday 10 March.

Another part of the Salient story given in Handbook never alters. Now more than ever we need interested people to help with every aspect of newspaper work. Edit it write it, make it or at least send in your views to our letters column. Salient last year was renowned for the best student letters column in the country. This doesn't mean that we can print anything - as the libel suits the Exec considered at its last few meetings show but Salient is interested in your views, so please get them in.
