Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 15, No. 6. April 24, 1952

Athletics

The writing was on the wall for our athletic chances when the inter-faculty sports featured so much lack of enthusiasm and interest. The newspaper report of the one entrant race (Mr. T. Beaglehole—no less!) even caused comments in the city.

The news that Ikar Lissienko was not available did nothing to brighten the scene. The report that the athleics controller handed to Salient minced no words and obviously hinted that training was necessary. The Athletics Club have the excuse that it is difficult to train invisible men and women. Are the clubs doing enough to encourage new students to take an interest in college clubs?
