Throughout the 1950s, "La Rotonde" and the University of Ottawa administration had a combative relationship, inciting the Canadian University Press to label "La Rotonde" as "the most censored student newspaper in Canada" in 1956. The ill-will between the two groups reached a climax in 1958, when three editors from "La Rotonde" were expelled for an article criticizing Queen Elizabeth II. "La Rotonde" ceased publishing after this and was not re-formed again until January 1959. Despite the atmosphere on campus, "The Fulcrum" continued to publish during this time.
