Salient. An Organ of Student Opinion at Victoria College, Wellington, N.Z. Vol. 13, No. 19. August 31, 1950

[Introduction]

May 27 edition of Rhodes University College paper "Rhodeo" (Grahams town, Rhodesia), has just reached "Salient." It front-pages the story of a general meeting of the student body where bitter discussion ended in the (narrow) passage of two resolutions condemning the "Apartheid" policy of racial discrimination and segregation at present rampant in South Africa. Apparently Rhodes representative at the national student conference had supported segregation in inter-college sport. The meeting condemned their representative's action by 150 to 128. Another resolution stated that the Rhodes Student Representative Council would not attend any conference observing racial discrimination.

"Rhodes" remarks: "These liberal and worthy resolutions, representative of the democratic principles upheld at this college, reflect creditably the view held by the S.R.C. . . ."
