Salient needs relevant articles

What is the hold-up in publishing a report from the Overseas Student Conference held at Auckland between May 13-17. After much effort $50 was allocated during SRC and I understand that an article for Salient is supposed to come out from that $50. I expected to read about it in the May 22nd issue but there was no sign of it even in the May 29th issue.

It is rather disheartening to see such an important event being so badly neglected. In the first place more funds should have been allotted by the VUWSA Exec. without having to raise the matter at the SRE. From the "begged" $50 only three out of six thousand students at Victoria were sponsored. It is about lime VUWSA Exec reviewed its spending policy and priority right. ($100 for the Capping Piss-up and fat May Conference expenses).

And now the inability of Salient to cover any of that event. It is also about time Salient had relevant and current articles rather than scouring around for shit to fill itself up. I suggest that Salient and the International Affairs Officer, Bryony Hales look into this and make sure that some sort of coverage of this important event appears in this coming issue.
