Salient. Victoria University of Wellington Students' Newspaper. Volume 31 Number 15, July 9, 1968

[Editors note on Owen Gager's article entitled 'Students and Unions']

Photo of students marching on a protest

It is not at this stage useful to rake over the muck made by the national press on the subject of the march and demonstration before Parliament.

Suffice to say that there is no evidence that any one of the 525 students present at Parliament grounds was involved in any incident that was illegal or in any way undesirable.

Every newspaper in New Zealand is guilty of libelling us, and almost every member of the public believes that libel.

We cannot correct it; it is best forgotten. They have smashed our image; we must start building ourselves a new one.
