The Spike: or, Victoria University College Review, June 1916

Engagements

Engagements.

We have convictions, and we have the courage of our convictions, but we have not the courage to adopt the suggestion of a student, who thought that it would be an excellent idea for the "Spike" to publish the names of those, who ought to be engaged, or look as though thy contemplated being engaged. We are not timid, but there is a law of libel in New Zealand, and we must draw the line somewhere. Meanwhile if any student cares to write to the "Spike" a letter containing such name, and signed with his own name, we might publish it as correspondence. But in such case, we would advise such student to make sure of three things—(1) That his purse is long. (2)That he can run 100 yards in 10 seconds. (3) That he is about to remove his residence from Wellington.
