Dearest Men and Women of College,

A couple of months into our third year, we find ourselves more confused than ever. In first year, everything was new and unadultered. Second year was merely a careless hangover from first year (see: Facebook albums). But third year is an enigma that we’re still trying to figure out: you could say that we’re having mid-university crises.

It’s not just us, though, who are experiencing middle-ground schlumps. Students and profs alike are drowning in mid-term mayhem. Storefronts are stuck in inter-holiday confusion. Hell, even the weather is lost, flip-flopping between seasons until our noses just can’t bleed anymore.

When we were scrambling for a theme for this issue, we could think of nothing more fitting than highlights late-fall limbo. We hope the content reminds you all that when you’re in between- bewilderment, it’s possible to throw yourselves over the final hurdle and have that “HAAAGGHHH” moment. Instead of calling it the “HAGH” issue, though, we decided to go with the more linguistically- pleasing “Mid.”

Kill those essays. Crush those tests. And procrastinate with a Salterrae, Robin and Vic

Letter From The Editors – Issue 1

Dearest Men and Women of College,
We’d like to say that our vision for this year’s Salterrae came to us while viewing an all-female production of Waiting for Godot. We’d like to say it came to us in a burning bush.  Heck, we’d even like to say it was actually someone else’s idea incepted into our brains; but if we’re being truthful (and we always are), we decided to put together a Salterrae team after a short but potent rendezvous with Mr. Smirnoff.

Not even our hangover from that fateful night could put a damper on our excitement for  the privilege of editing this year’s Salterrae.  In our six issues, we hope to communicate the goings-on at Trinity College and the greater Toronto community in a way that informs, entertains, tickles, and arouses your academically-marinated mind.

Our reasons for  deeming our first publication as “the Frosh issue” are fairly obvious –  it’s topical, the majority of Trinity College residents are first years who need to learn things, and the photos were too entertaining to pass up. However, as this was our third Frosh experience, we started to realize what makes the whole week tick (and the togas stick).

We wanted this issue to give a unique and in-depth look into orientation. With articles from Frosh leaders, alumni, and even first year’s themselves, we feel that it looks at the experience from an array of angles.

So grab a Strachan coffee, get comfy on one of the newly-upholstered JCR couches, and enjoy!
See you around,

Robin & Victoria
