Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol.12., No. 11. 29th September 1949

... and rising costs

... and rising costs

No support for the legal fine came from an authority, Mr. McIntyre. The costs would be outrageous, he thought, and the chances of winning non-existent. And Mr. Steele also questioned whether the case was one of free speech—good taste rather, he thought. The Prof. Board were well educated men" and their decision should therefore be upheld.

"This clause which allows the punishment of any student for 'bringing disgrace on the college' is too vague," said Mrs. Garrett. It is a dangerous loophole which can be interpreted far too widely. A quite flimsy pretext could be used to Justify the punishment of a student under this all-inclusive clause. She suggested that this matter could well be more clearly defined so that any student could at least know just what the regulations did require.
