Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 10. September 14, 1959

The festival disintegrated into countless single meetings, at which the sponsors and the delegations often remained "1984" and "Animal Farm" and film strips on the uprisamong themselves. At times an event had to be completely called off because not enough spectators had appeared. More than once it happened that non-conformist visitors were not granted admission or that western publications, student newspapers, etc. were torn from the hands of participants and destroyed.
The success of the festival and that of the "Guest Programme" is oppositely estimated, naturally, by the two sides.
