Helen White Must be Retained

Helen White Must be Retained

Dear Salient,

The English students are up in arms about assessment. They frequently complain (with good cause) that the English Dept. often seems aloof and uninterested For nearly two years Dr Helen White has been at this Varisty on a Junior lecturship. She has injected a vigour and life into her work that makes her stand head and shoulders above the other (Prof. Robinson coming second) members of the Department.

Personal contact with her as a tutor and friend is encouraged. English literature is one of the most spell-binding subjects that anyone can get interested in. Dr White encourages the personal level, and above all, stresses th worthiness of the individual approach. She makes it interesting!! She is the type the English Club is complaining there is a lack of.

And now, because this is the last year of her Junior Lectureship she is to be sent packing. I think Salient should look into it and see if she is to be offered a permanent lectureship. If she is not then Salient and the English Club should take up her case. Salient is the student's advocate and voice so it should spell it out to the English Dept that:

"We Want Dr Helen White For 1977 And A Permanent Position"
