Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 9. 1966.

After two issues the executive prohibited further publication. Defiance of this ruling led to disaffiliation of the Free Discussions Club from the students' association.

The "Welfare League" always reliably disposed to making emotive attacks on the College, was joined by that weekly so mockingly entitled "NZ Truth." Published in it was an article on "Twisted Teaching." The writer set forth the theory that if students were disloyal, seditious and depraved, they must have been guided into iniquity by their teachers.

The depravity of students was shortly afterwards demonstrated when the Debating Society breached all rules of etiquette by discussing birth control.
