Anarchists Call

All Malcontants

The Anarchists at Victoria are regarded as a group of malcontents and obstructionists. This may be true in that the Anarchists could believe discontent and obstructionism may be the sanest and most reasonable basis for behaviour, especially at Victoria.

The ideals that Anarchists have enthused over; mutual aid, personal responsibility, integrity of the individual in a larger social order, give greater cause for obstruction than any other body of thinking. Try it—read Kropotkin and Prince Bakunin. Read and see if the world isn't twice as objectionable as it is now.

The Anarchist Association at Victoria has tried to counteract inflationary student politics. We have called several General Meetings to discuss matters that the Executive appeared to deal with in a peremptory and high-handed manner. When a small group of students (they happened to be Exec, members) succeeded in barring all but a favoured few religious proselytists such as Catholics and Protestants from equal access to the student body through the Little Theatre the Society for Student Rights (composed mainly of Anarchists) protested. We invited the Mormon Vice-President to address us, and consequently he was charged the same price to hire the Little Theatre as the Catholics, Protestants and other proselytists would have been.

We are discontented with many other things. N.Z. administration in the Cook Islands, N.Z. trade practices supporting apartheid in South Africa, the use of N.Z. troops in S.E. Asia, the Keep-N.Z.White immigration policy and N.Z. itself. Also most Anarchists are discontented with most other Anarchists. Our first meeting will be advertised on the Notice Board in the S.U. Foyer. Come along and be discontented with us.—Published by Arrangement.
