Anti-Student-Worker Kick?

I have just read Salient No. 1 and it has reinforced all my anti-student feelings.

Did they really kick someone out of a job they'd been doing for 3 years without any warning or consultation coz she'd hired somebody without asking the Big-Men-Around Campus (and with only 4 our of 10 voting for it)?

And then I read 'The holidays'. No wonder 'workers' get pissed off with 'students'. Lindy Cassidy criticises 'workers' for their blind prejudices. How about students' racial prejudice; about Malaysian, Poms and Islanders as evidenced by the toilet graffiti? What's wrong with not liking any thing too removed from chops and vegies? What about the student food where anything too far removed from yoghurt, muesli, rice, noodles, Vogel's bread etc is 'uncool'?

And as for her characterization of workers as blindly prejudiced, materialistic, yet gutsy and honest and hell of a funny! Would Salient have printed a description of the Maoris as lazy, happy-go-lucky yet funloving, generous and great on the guitar?

And then when I'd finished that and was feeling good and pissed off I read the bit about not being able to go to movies without an ID. Is it because students don't want workers' dirty overalls on their scats? Maybe the theatre gets too crowded and I apologise if this is true but its never been too crowded when I've been).

In case you think I have a grudge against students because I didn't get U.E. or some such reason, I spent 1 year and 2 weeks at Vic, passed everything I sat (mostly stage II papers) and am now working, and enjoying it, and have no desire to return to Varsity this year.
