Dear Sir,

I am instructed to advise you that the following motions were carried at a Special General Meeting of the V.U.C. Students' Association, held on the 12th instant.

1. — "That this Special General Meeting of the V.U.C. Students" Association strongly opposes the action of those in authority in suppressing the article 'Untwisted Teaching' in 'Spike,' and asks for the immediate withdrawal of this prohibition."

2. — "That this Special General Meeting of the V.U.C. Students' Association views with concern the encroachment on student opinion, and points out that their past conduct has not justified this."

It was the opinion of the meeting that the 1933 "Spike" was in many respects the best that had been published for some years, and that the Editor had succeeded in his endeavour not only to present impartially both sides of the questions dealt with, but also to allow free expression to all forms of opinion within the College. It was further considered that if the College Council had not drawn attention to the two offending paragraphs it was unlikely that any exception would have been taken to them by other readers. It is against the attitude of the College Council in this matter particularly that the second motion is directed.

A copy of this letter is being forwarded to the Chairman of the College Council.
