BAN ON "THE SPIKE"

VICTORIA COLLEGE REVIEW

MATTER TO BE DELETED

The professorial board of Victoria University College has , issued a ban upon tho sale or distribution of the annual college review, "The Spike," on account of certain paragraphs which were embodied in it,-but it is probable that tho issue will be made when this letterpress is removed. Tho chairman of the professorial board, Professor W. H. Gould, said today that the issue of copies as they left tho press had been stopped, as two paragraphs, really extracts and one of them quite short, were considered to be capable of seditious interpretation. An article, "Untwisted Teaching," had been objected to as not being quito fair or in good taste, but it was not this article to which the main objections had been raised. Professor Gould said that he was quite satisfied that the two paragraph extracts had slipped through without the editor and staff of tho magazine realising that they hail a seditious interpretation. It had now been suggested that "The Spike" should be re-issued with the offending paragraphs removed and with tho article on "Untwisted Teaching" amended and put' into good taste or with another article substituted, and his view was that such a eourso would meet tbo position.
