PhD's $10 Refund
PhD students are entitled to a repayment of $10 because the rise in the fee was never officially approved.
The University Council at its last meeting decided that an increase in the fee was not valid for this year as the approval required through the University Grants Committee had not been given.
So, if you're a PhD student and hard up at the momenta trip to the Registry to enquire about this will be well worth your while.

Blood
Students are not noted for their generosity, but they are especially known for their psychopathological tendencies. The old obsession with hot coursing blood is as strong as ever, and there is no indication that it has anything to do with the increasing popularity of horror films. You have an opportunity to experience hot coursing blood.
Donate some. In the exhibition Foyer on the mornings of the following days: Monday 25 Sept, Tuesday 26 Sept, Monday 2nd Oct. or Tuesday 3rd Oct. from 9.15am-12noon. You can donate your blood.
Tea & biscuits will be provided to the survivors, but to participate in this infrequent rite you must fill in an appointments sheet in the Main foyer of the U.U.B. Eat some breakfast before participating, and don't sit exams or tests afterwards. Members bring your blood identity cards.

Non-Graduate Recruits
Who? Where? When? What?
If these questions pertain to the campus, and you can answer them, then you're our man (or woman).
So why not answer them for the benefit of others as a Contact Officer next year (1973).
All the job entails is that you be available for 1 hour a week to answer campus queries.
Drop in, and book in:—

Smash and Grope
The Condom Vending Machine in the Men's Toilet at the eastern end of the S.U.B. has been interfered with three times recently.
On the first occasion some superman broke the perspex and extracted 50 condoms. Two days later a merchant stole another 36. The following day an entrepreneur tore the machine from the wall, scattering condoms all over the toilet floor, and made off with his prize. Unfortunately he discovered it was no use on its own, and he returned with it to find all the condoms that he had left on the floor were stolen. Forlornly he left the machine there.
The moral, and there must be one in this instance, is if you are that frustrated, masturbate, because its a helluva lot healthier than getting contraceptives via the commercial dirt and 'unhygenic' atmosphere of a shithouse vending machine. To 'cleanse' it would simply mean placing its obsolescence in the foyer where everyone could have equal access and where it's recommended siting was in the first place, before the medical 'experts' advising Union Management Committee began to pussy foot around.
Propagandists 1973
It seems that Peter Franks has finally got the upper hand in the Peter Franks — Tony King debate that has haunted Salient correspondence columns all year.
Last week, Franks and Roger Steele were appointed joint editors of Salient 1973. — Mr King your fate next year is sealed. However this doesn't mean that despair must take over. Both Peter Franks and Roger Steele have shown themselves to be volatile writers. Franks is versatile enough to write shit and brilliant critique. Certainly we can expect from these two a Salient of very professional proportions, and with a provocative and critical orientation.
Cappicade, has fallen to the clutches of that veteran of publications who is probably editing the magazine to complete the list, Graeme Collins. This means Cappicade will be good, meaning a lot better than the nondescript garbage that we were landed with this year.
Orientation Handbook which has of late become a sort of 'Yellow Pages' has been promised a spring clean by its Editors Graeme Nesbitt, Les A[unclear: hgj]tkins and Rick

Bryant. Nesbitt has promised the magazine will be 'grouse and real freaky', so next years freshers will be subverted earlier in the piece.
Unfortunately Argot, the associations literary magazine has been ignored in the grab for the more prestigious positions. Argot is possibly the least known of Varsity publications, yet is often the best. Someone must be interested in fostering literature so for your information the position of editor is still open.
Lastly we come to Treasurer, the man who does a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Warwyck Dewe proved both in Easter Tournament and in publications that he is efficient and his re-election was undoubtedly deserved. Still these Commerce gentlemen seem to share a golden thread, and like Byron Cullen, Warwyck will learn that money is a necessary evil, and is to be regarded sanely only in times of crisis.
This impressive line-up and enthusiastic team will spend every cent of your dollar levy for the revolution.

mini-meals
The Ground floor Caf is now serving mini-meals on menu items that are easily divisible. These are small helpings for lower prices and have been brought in at the request of students.
vegetarian meals
Every day the Ground floor Caf will now be including one vegetarian item in the hot meal menu This is again in response to a petition by a number of students who do not eat meat.
Sir,
As a past resident of Bowen Hostel, I would like to express a word of thanks before third term ends. I am grateful to University for offering me the such place to stay. This is really the only hostel where personality, social and intellectual developments rapidly improved. All residents know each other well enough that fun and true friendship often prevailing, when we come to conversation. This is what every University hostel should have if good human character is to cultivate. Regular meetings were held to ensure that it was functioning well, especially on the food. [An experienced student was put in charge] The warden is also a student who is a distinguished person on our campus. He can handle anything without hardship, except sometimes annoyed by the hot water system.
