A Curse on Salient Workers
A Curse on Salient Workers
Dear Editor of Salient,
Since this seems to be the official bureau of complaints I address my grievance to you :
Last Monday (August 1) you published my letter, signed 'Anonymous', in which I quoted a letter word for word from the Salient of the previous week. I say 'word for word' because I went [unclear: ot] great trouble to use the same strange spelling and grammar the proof readers had chosen to. To my amazement and consternation I find that my letter has not only had new errors added but the ones I was so careful to include had been corrected prior to publishing.

Please try to rectify this gross negligence on the part of your staff in the future.
Yours very sincerely,
Injured Party.(Sorrie Cobba. Thees things do appen — Ed).
Letters should be short, to the point, and have spaces between the lines. They should be written on at most one side of the page and put into the Salient letterbox, left in the basket at the Studass Office, or sent to Salient, c/o VUWSA, Private Bag, Wellington, Letters addressed to David Murray will be returned "Not known at this address". We would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the lack of a letters spiel in last week's Salient. This publishing disaster of unparalleled proportions (not excepting the great tea trolley disaster of 1967 or the letters payola scandal of 1971) occurred because the alleged writer of this learned column went completely off his head trying to think up new jokes about offal. He was last seen in the cafe queuing up for a hot dog with 35c in his hand and a glassy took in his eyes.
