Quotations from Salient's first issue which were discussed were:

"Editorial policy provides initially for concentration on strictly student affairs to the exclusion of international affairs commentary and general art ides"

"Editor Kick Turner tells us he wants letters from readers for Salient's correspondence column. Only condition is—no politics."

Messrs. C. Walsh, C. Bollinger, and H. Macneil framed a motion disapproving of such a policy, which was passed without dissent.

A heated discussion elaborated the grounds of the disagreement along these lines:

If a college newspaper were to be governed by a policy of expedient selectivity, it was not fulfilling its function as a university newspaper. It is both part of the tradition of this university and the very idea of a university, that the college paper should print any matter of interest to students, and their opinion of it.

Craccum's recent attack on the Hon. Mr. Algie, was upheld as being in the true tradition of college newspapers, in spite of the view of at least one member of Salient Editorial Committee, that it was both ill-judged and ill-written.

(Craccum is the AUC student newspaper.)
