Destroyers

The university administration; has blatantly destroyed a rare collection of original art. No longer do the benches in E006 display the pained doodling left by past generations. Clean, new, expressionless, varnished benches replace the rich culture of times past.

Public fooled

Usually reliable sources indicate the £10,000 cheque handed to Sir Francis Kitts for the City Council's loan was not in fact a cheque for £10,000 at all.

It was blank, because the money has not yet been cleared from the accounts.

The real cheque will no doubt be handed over with considerably less publicity.

Press excluded

The National Party Club began its activities this year by inviting two Cabinet Ministers, Mr. Thomson and Mr. Gordon, to speak at university. The student press was excluded from reporting their answers to questions by the chairman, a former editor of Salient, who mumbled something about tradition. The tradition of the freedom of the press, perhaps?

Done it

TORO has done it again! He made a firm resolution to keep well away from the library this year. So far he has achieved admirable success.

Blood flop

The Idea of students giving blood on campus turned out to be a bit of a flop.

Several students fainted, some had to be taken home and only 47 pints were taken. Apparently, waiting in the sun before losing one's pint didn't help matters.

Up at the hospital facilities are available to ensure donors remain conscious.
