Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 10. September 14, 1959
[Introduction]
All motions on the All Black question, tabled at a meeting of Resident Executive, were put before Council and were passed, suffering only slight modifications.
The motions had been drafted by Lincoln College and presented to the Executive in Wellington in July, after which they were laid upon the table until August Council.
The motions affirmed that N.Z.U.S.A. "strongly protests at the decision of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union to exclude Maori players on racial grounds from selection for the All Black team to tour South Africa in 1960, and strongly urges them to reconsider their decision".
"That the N.Z.U.S.A., whose membership includes Maori, Pakeha and Asian students, affirms its belief in the principle of racial equality, and considers that, if Maori players are not to be eligible for the All Black team to tour South Africa and, if selected, cannot be assured of equal treatment while on tour, the tour should be abandoned."
