Wonderful stimulant

Its A tremendous ability to stand still, take two steps backward and deliver a suit-ably placed boot, swiftly and succintly to ones own lower anatomy.

The student body managed to do this during the presidential elections. All those candidates were a wonderful stimulant. Never before has an election provided a con versa-lion piece on so many caf tables, all at once.

Flow of logic

No Doubt the traffic pointsmen in Wellington on a Friday night have a hard job to contend with, but that doesn't excuse a too frequent brusque manner.

How low can you go?

Our Legal friends sure make the most of it when Anzals (that's telegraphese for Australian and New Zealand Association of Law Students) mooting, and council meetings, get their learned treatment.

Circle turns vicious

The vicious circle in operation on "The Dominion" at the moment doesn't augur well for the future. Apparently no more staff are being hired because advertising is down Advertising is down because circulation is down.

Schizoid Truth

Apparently the last editor of the National Party's now defunct National Observer is now editing Truth The editor of Truth has been promoted to Editor in Chief of Truth and the Auckland based Sunday News. It will be interesting to sec if our popular schizoid weekly retains it's unique characteristics.
