Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington N.Z. Vol. 5, No. 4 June 17, 1942

[Letter to Salient from Full Overtimer. June 17, 1942]

Sir,—Thank you for the privilege of seeing "Active Student's" letter before you printed it. I would add to his pompous peroration:

Remember Pearl Harbour…

Remember the Alamo…

I remember, I remember, the house where I was born…

The leaves of brown came tumbling down, remember…

Remember, remember, the Fifth of November…

All of which are equally pertinent. Everyone except "Active Student" has long known that we who are working extended hours these days are doing a lot more to defeat fascism than if we spent the time propagandising for our University.

Yours, etc.,

Full Overtimer

[Anyone else got anything to say about it?—Ed.]
