Salient. Victoria University of Wellington Student's Newspaper. Volume 31, Number 9. May 21 1968

Off Beam, Outside

Off Beam, Outside

Sir,—Students are indeed fortunate to have as original a humorist working for their edification and amusement as the writer of the "Outside Left" column.

Last week he told us that when he wrote that nobody would risk their bourgeois career to become chairman of the COV he really meant that nobody would stand against Barry Mitcalfe. Perhaps this week he will reveal that when he referred to me as a physics student he really meant that I hold three degrees from this University; this would at least prove that he (or she) knows how to read the University calendar.

Although I sat my last units in 1964. I suppose that I still am a student in the sense that I am still prepared to learn—something apparently that certain Salient correspondents will never do.

(This letter was omitted from the previous issue in error, — Ed.)

Yours faithfully,

John Gough
