Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol 6, No. 5. May 5, 1943

Mystery

Mystery.

On April 12th at an Executive meeting the staff, except the editor, were exonerated (from what they knew not) but not reinstated. The next night the editor (still unenlightened) was reprimanded and reinstated.

On April 15th at the Autumn Student Council Meeting the matter was aired publicly. Apparently the censor (a member of the Executive and responaible to the College Council) considered that her authority, dignity and critical taste had been flouted, and had succeeded in persuading the easily-swayed Executive into making this astounding move.

The above is only a fragmentary account of an exceptionally interesting matter, involving as it does the whole question of censorship of University papers and the dangers thereof.

(The above was taken almost verbatim from "Canta's" report of the matter and we will print further news as it comes to hand.)
