Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 12, No. 1, February 23rd, 1949.
[Introduction]
"Freedom" in what must be surely the most vulgar piece ever to have appeared in a New Zealand newspaper: "Teen Agers and Bobby Soxers Worship Ikon of Czar Stalin the First"—has referred to the students demonstration two years ago, against the Dutch attack on the Indonesian Republic, as being, among other things, "cheap."
It is necessary, therefore, that for the benefit of those who are attending the college for the first time, there should appear some account in this issue, of what was, perhaps. Victoria's finest hour—from 12 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the 30th of July, 1947.
