TitleDesperate Dan vol.5 no.1 1976AuthorAnonymousDate1976DescriptionDesperate Dan was an irregular sheet produced at the University of Waikato in the 1970s through to the early 80's.
Happy New Year from Desperate Dan! This issue opens with an apology for last year’s silence: although Vol. IV, No. 6 was prepared in November, it was withheld after threats of legal action. The author jokes about lawyers thriving on disputes but declines to provide “bones to gnaw,” noting that in today’s frugal times litigants must fend for themselves. Harmless portions are now included, alongside Desperate Dan’s Prize List for 1975, a campus profile of Ivor Snowdon, a tongue‑in‑cheek “Altruistic Feature” on how anyone can become a star, an entry from the Diary of the Hon. J. Tollemache, and Desperate Dan’s Almanac for 1976.Number of Pages7FormatPrinted documentVolume5Number/Issue1Year1976
