Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria University, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 22, No. 4. April 27, 1959

Vandalism

Vandalism

Violent irresponsibility is the sort of thing one expects from the underprivileged, the misguided and psychopaths.

We will leave it for the students concerned to decide which category they fall into, but the recent destructive acts in Hut 2 suggest the culprits deserve little sympathy and perhaps strong discipline.

Having forced their way through a window they proceeded to wreck Extravaganza props, ruin a new saw, break windows and light bulbs and hammer a hole through one wall.

This is only a culmination of a number of rather stupid acts round the University this year and we suggest it is misguided loyalty on the part of one or two students who know the culprits and refuse to reveal them.

We trust Executive will do its utmost to curb this vandalism and suggest they could make a good start by being a little more responsible in regard to recent spates of window-smashing. We hope the idiots who left an empty flagon in the Salient room will come and collect it from the Editor.
