Sport Officer takes correct Channel

I was surprised to see Trevor Mallard claiming in Salient last week, that I was disgusted with the last lecture in ACCY 301. This is not true. I must discredit Trevor's implication that I wrote the anonymous letter appearing in the previous week's Salient, criticising certain parts of the course. I have never written an anonymous letter to any paper, nor am I likely to do so.

Without starting an open debate on the merits or otherwise of the course or lecturer (because I don't have time), I will say that I did object to the course as a whole. The actum I took was firstly to write to the Vice-Chancellor (the letter can be seen on the daily file in the Students' Association Office) and secondly to talk over the situation with the Head of the Department. This would seem to me to be a far more effective way to get improvements rather than just ignoring the problems or writing anonymous letters.

As for the rest of Trevor's letter, it would appear that he has changed his views considerably since last year (remember BUAD 111) or is making a poor attempt at satire with his comments in the last paragraph.

"At long last we have a lecturer who is prepared to lay his prejudices of the line and thereby let us attempt to sort the fact from the fiction in the rest of his lectures. Long may it continue."

It is inevitable that there will be some far-reaching changes in the Commerce and Administration Faculty in the next couple of years. These changes will only come through student pressure, but, as I have already mentioned, I am too busy to instigate or help this year myself, but if I return next year you can be guaranteed that I will.
