Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 21, No. 5. May 6, 1958

[Letter from D. A. Patterson to Salient Vol. 21, No. 5. May 6, 1958]

The Editor:

Sir,—I was hardly surprised at the action taken by Exec, in imposing a rigid censorship on "Salient", but it did surprise me that they took no action to change your paper's name. The name "Salient" was meant by the paper's founders to indicate a policy of fearless and forthright criticism where that was considered necessary.

Something might also be done about that little line that appears on the front page under the name "Salient" — "An organ of student opinion at Victoria University, Wellington." I suggest that Exec. should direct the editor to do away with the present offensive and provocative title and substitute, "Mouth-Piece—Opinions approved by the Stud. Ass. Exec. at Victoria University, Wellington."

Yours sincerely,

D. A. Patterson.
