Salient. Victoria University of Wellington Student's Newspaper. Volume 31, Number 10 May 28 1968

On the Grapevine

On the Grapevine

Please confirm

Rumour hath it that a certain caterer and general exploiter of students is uncle to a couple of (prominent?) student politicians. How to succeed in business without really trying. Or how to fail in politics?

Devious woman

Quote: "I voted for this motion because I thought that by devious methods its wording could be changed"; Women's Vice President Rosemary Booth, at Executive.

Revolutionary

It seems the grant for the Literary Society has not materialised as yet. Perhaps the "Literary Revolution" at the University may bring some sponsors.
