Salient. Newspaper of Victoria University of Wellington Students Association. Vol 41 No. 4. March 20 1978

Is this bribery?

Is this bribery?

Dear (words fail me),

Quite frankly the only thing in today's Salient (13th March) which reveals any erudition (and I would have missed it if it hadn't been for a spasm of boredom) is the passing reference to zucchinis planted out in the Salient darkroom sink.

It must be obvious to the evangelicals of the Salient conglomerate that some person(s) in their midst are suffering from delusions and that their undoubted concern for the spiritual welfare of students may very well bear no fruit for some time (if ever) while this confusion continues. As man shall live not by the spirit alone but bread also, I suggest that the examples of the zucchinis be followed with enthusiasm, if not fanaticism. Lets ditch the politico articles, the culture vulture articles and have survival articles i.e. how to plant zucchinis (incidently a most rewarding little plant), how to live on $26 a week and enjoy it. If the job is well done you may even be able to persaude some of us to put the extra $2 a week we got this year into a common fund to support all the unpaid Salient workers.
