Salient. Victoria University Students Newspaper. Volume 38 Number 8. 1975

This be the Editorial

This be the Editorial

In the interests of abolishing dictatorship the editor has handed the writing of this editorial over to me — Germaine Frisbee. You haven't been hearing much about what's been happening in Salient since Bruce took over so I thought I'd relate the atrocities that have occured...

...Salient had been a quite disordered kingdom inhabited by a peaceful but sleepy people. The inhabitants were indeed a strange race who knew of no sunlight in their lives. The ones who were writers sat at their desks and wrote great screeds of copy until the paper was all full up. Then the ones who were artists proceeded to cut up the copy and arrange it in pretty patterns. Then the one called the editor and a few trusted cohorts ran out of Salient land to the quicksilver Dominion bus to Wanganui. A few days later back would come a newspaper. Nobody ever new what happened on the Wanganui bus...

...when Bruce took over little changed. In fact so little changed that the cobwebs grew until they covered everything which made driving conditions bad....

...and then after many months there came a time when the ones who were writers could not write enough to fill up the newspaper and Bruce had to write something because he was in charge....

...which is where I enter writing this Editorial...lazy chauvinist bastard.........
