SMAD. An Organ of Student Opinion. 1937. Volume 8. Number 6.

Audrey!

Audrey!

Dear "Smad,"

It is to be hoped that the views expressed by your correspondent "Laugh It Off" were not intended to be taken seriously. His assertion that the Capital City has a decided grievance against the Haeremai Club must surely have been made in a state of abject mental depression, because the people of Wellington always seem as eager to see the procession as the Club is to provide it.

Unfortunately your correspondent does not let matters end there. He then proceeds to expose a lamentable omission on the part of the public of this fair city: that of failing to protest on the appearance in one of our dailies of a certain advertisement, accorded so much publicity in your last issue. Well, we certainly have not heard any criticism of that paragraph, but then they did not set the guns going to let us know that the proprietors at a large concern had unearthed a brilliant example of wit. No, Wellington seems to have accepted the advertisement in the most commendable manner: by simply ignoring it.

Perhaps it would have been better if "Laugh It Off" had accepted it in the same spirit.—Yours truly,

Argus.
