The Paper War

The Paper War

Dear Editor Person,

I note from the 1981 VUWSA budget (page 11 of the last Salient) that VUWSA estimates a $500 printing loss, to be paid from Association fees.

Perhaps (I am a humble, unpretentious Arts student and not a BCA financial wizard) if the Association did not print quite so many copies of Salient (which end up littering the Quad. Union Hall and Cafe) and leaflets (which end up as paper dart material), this not, inconsiderable sum could be reduced.

Yours amicably,

A Thermos Flask

The $500 printing loss you refer to actually has not hint; to do with Salient. While Salient this year will run up around $12,500 in printing costs alone, this money conies front the $4-20 'Media Hoard' levy.

Secondly, the number of lea/lets printed is not the problem. In fact, the more that are printed, the less the whole alteration will lose. Association printing costs to clubs are deliberately kept low to enable all to get their information to students.
