With a Respectful Bow in the Direction of Democracy the Editor has Decided that it is time for a New Policy on the Acceptance of Letters. The new policy goes something like this:

All letters to be printed under the writer's real name will be published subject to the usual consideration of the law relating to libel. All letters to be published using pseudonyms and not containing the writer's real name and address as a sign of good faith will be published only at the discretion of the editor. Letters using pseudonyms but with real name and address supplied will be published.

Letters can still be sent to the same place, that is: the letterbox just outside the Salient office, middle floor Union Building; P.O. Box 1347 Wellington; or c/- the Students Association, Private Bag, VUW. Please try and make your letters legible otherwise we cannot accept responsibility for spelling errors.
