Not a Trendy Lefty, but...
Dear Editor,
I am sick of people like Andrew Tees getting up at SRCs and writing letters claiming to represent the average student. I don't consider myself a trendy lefty but I do occasionally go along to the odd forum or SRC. I spend most of my time in the library because I'm at university to get a degree but I'm also interested in hearing alternative points of view which you don't get from the Dominion. Though I think Salient is too onesided it still gives an opinion which you don't hear elsewhere. Finally I'm sick of people saying students can manage on $15 a week. I'm flatting and don't want to bludge on my parents. That's why I can't manage on $15 a week.
Yours,
Michael Hayward.
