Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 29, No. 10. 1966.

Inoculated

Inoculated

Some parents of children who are trying to become New Zealanders. but who are being inoculated with English ideas at the same time, think an investigation is well overdue.

"My daughter has been brain-washed," one anguished mother told me last week.

"She used to be a normal girl, but she is not now," said the mother.

Witty and vivacious, Sinclair followed an incisive article on peaceniks and vietniks in training colleges with a story of intense national importance—about a "dial-avirgin" service in Christchurch.

But one thing is quite vague.

Sinclair has spoken out about students and training colleges—but he has not denied rumours that he is actually a PhD in Oriental Languages from Melbourne University.

He hasn't denied them because he hasn't been asked.

I asked some imaginary people in the street what they thought of the threat.

"I don't know about it," said one.

"Push off before yer get a thick ear," said another.

How long will it be before such sacred institutions as Salient are attacked? Will cabinet take action? What about this? What about that?

This time, not even Time will tell.
