Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 4, No. 3. April 09, 1941

Eclipse

Eclipse

For years past certain Tournament reps, have gone down to the butts in quaint attire, and sublimated their atavistic homicidal instincts in competition for the Haslam Shield. This year, because of the impossibiliy of obtaining a range at Wellington, the contest has had to be cancelled.

V.U.C.'s Defence Rifle Club has gone into retirement "for the duration," but rumours from other colleges indicate that all their crack shots have not been sucked into the Army of the Fannies; and that they, personer grater with their local authorities than we with ours, are managing to find ranges and odd shells.

Next year perhaps A.U.C. will be able to arrange for the Haslam [unclear: Trophy] to be competed for again. Good luck, O.U., A.U.C., and C.U.C.—if the V.U.C.D.R.C. is still not with us, it will be your last and only chance to hold the trophy. Wait until we resurrect ourselves!
