A Disclaimer

In the last issue of Salient (August 28) a letter satirically attacking aspects of the proposed National Union of Students appeared above the signature of Paul B.

Because of my recent resignation from one of the organisations involved in the proposed merger a number of people have wrongly assumed that I was the author of this satirical attack.

Though I agree entirely with the sentiments of Paul B's letter and share his doubts as to some of the motives behind current NUS proposals I must, in all modesty, make known that I was not the author of the satire.
