Salient. Victoria University Student Newspaper. Vol 36 No. 5. 29 March 1973
Dear Sir,
If you wish to maintain any sort of credibility when fabricating material for "Salient" you should at least observe the practice of not altering easily verifiable facts.
I refer to the so-called "N.Z.P.A. Reuter bulletin" which appeared on the cover of last week's "Salient" (21 Mar.) in which "Salient" incorrectly names Vorster as being Prime Minister of South Africa in 1960 when, in fact, he did not become Prime Minister until after Verwoerd's death in 1966.
Yours faithfully,
M. J. Warley
We are indebted to Mr Warley, and 2,000 others for pointing this error out to us, however we do know that Verwoerd was the South African Prime Minister in 1960. If Mr Warley would like to come in at 11am on Tuesday mornings and check our copy he could ensure that we do not make such errors again. After staying up several nights on end preparing the paper we sometimes make the odd mistake — Eds.
