Handbook 1979

The greatest competition since the Commonwealth Games has started: the race to win the editorship of the 1979 Handbook. As editorial experience is not essential the shirkers who failed to work on Salient this year may enter the race, but the Selection Committee (the Publications Board) anticipate that the applicants would have reasonable competence in magazine layout and familiarity with university life.

The lucky winner is expected to produce a dramatic masterpiece which will contain information of inestimable value to both new and returning students. As these guidelines are fairly wide it is asked that applicants provide a written curriculum vitae detailing their proposals for the content and presentation of the handbook.

S/he who is granted permission to mount the victory dias will receive a gold medal, redeemable at the Students' Association Office to the value of $250, and a blank cheque which will bounce if they attempt to draw more than $300 from the account. The Board envisages that this latter sum will be sufficient for working expenses (typesetters wages, technical supplies, etc).

Applications close on Wednesday 6th September at 5.30 pm, at the meeting of the Publications Board where the appointment (and disappointments) will be made. It is expected that all applicants will attend this meeting.

Salient 1979

The Masochists' Association has pleasure in announcing that the highpoint of their year has arrived. Yes, applications are open for the editor of Salient 1979. While anyone may apply, the MA warns that only confirmed masochists who enjoy 26 weeks of solid abuse, look forward to working through Thursday nights without sleep, delight in seeing their names slandered in the letters column each week and their sexual deviations exposed in lurid details on the toilet walls, will be able to withstand the pressure.

The Publications Board invite all persons who don't mind starving on S46 pw (from 2 weeks before the first issue to 1 week after the last) to put their left foot forward, before 13 September 1978, 12 noon when nominations close. At this time the applicants are required to present themselves for scrutiny and self-criticism to the Board, where the appointment will be made. Applicants are required to present a written curriculum vitae detailing their proposals for the paper.
