Sense of humour?

In criticism against your present editorial stand to censor what you refer to as "inanely non-critical" letters, I must forward a gentle little philosophy of mine. In this world of advocated revolution, economic instability and general disagreement and hatred it is a pleasant relief to find a sense of humour. Yes, a sense of humour (or have you guessed already?) is my gentle philosophy.

With this in mind I congratulate the authors of the amusements which have recently appeared in the letters to the editor. While they appear not to amuse the hypo-serious editor I for one find them entertaining and a pleasant change from the knife throwing letters and articles which one is continually subjected to in this self-proclaimed revolutionary wedge.

What are the objectives of Salient? This perhaps needs clarifying, is it purely another one of the messy little crass revolutionary rags which litter our streets? I am sure our editor would sometimes like to think so. To me at least, as on average reader, I would define its objectives as three fold.

1)	To express impartial comment
2)	To express students' opinions
3)	And to entertain and amuse

While I consider the first two points necessary in a rather over realistic world the last objective would not be discarded at any price. It's mankinds saftey valve from this negative world we live in.

So I suggest the editor reconsider Salient's objectives and stop this nonsense about censoring light heartedness which has been adding colour to a drab little rag.
