In 1955 "The Ubyssey" was ranked the student publication with the most freedom and least faculty control in Canada. Rev. E. C. Pappert was then the faculty advisor with direct editorial control over the student newspaper at Assumption College in Windsor, which had been ranked bottom in that survey. Pappert's response was that “"The Ubyssey" is the vilest rag you can imagine and is the best argument for censorship that could be produced.” "The Ubyssey" embraced Pappert's remarks and adopted “the vilest rag west of Blanca” as its unofficial slogan.
