TitleDesperate Dan vol.2 no.3 1973AuthorAnonymousDate1973DescriptionDesperate Dan was an irregular sheet produced at the University of Waikato in the 1970s through to the early 80's. [This copy has a note on the front asking if the VC has seen the issue]
In this satirical instalment, Desperate Dan critiques the decline of literary standards in student publications and mocks the immaturity of recent student politics, notably the “Presidential Farce.” He announces the discovery of a second palimpsest - allegedly the true Book I of Aristotle’s Politics - and promises its English translation in the upcoming 1974 Community Calendar. The piece also recounts the bitter feud between staff members, filled with intrigue, accusations, and resignation threats. To round things off, Dan includes the results of the Deanship Knockout Cup, a preview of upcoming events, and a selection of small ads.
