Salient Slated

Contemporary Arts president Nelson Wattie spoke to a motion that Salient's grant be suspended. Criticism followed Mr Baird's motion, which he said was only to get the matter on the floor. A motion censuring the reporter who gave "Truth" a report on the S.G.M. was amended to an attack on the report's sensationalism, but was not carried.

The meeting was quiet and orderly, and the chair warned interjectors only once.

Chairman Moriarty was asked if he had notified the police of the S.G.M. The questioner thought that such an action would be unjustified. "In that case I deny it," said Mr Moriarty, amid laughter.
