PUBLICATIONS

T.C.D.

1966 has seen a new era of editorialplanning. All meddlesome FeatureWriters have now been well and trulyeradicated. Witty Columnists, however,are still proving to be an ernbarass-ment.

T.C.D. 1966 has endeavoured topresent its readers with what it feelsthey want--cookery columns, cross-word puzzles and way-out Americanarticles which no other magazine willever publish.

THE HIST.

"’FOREST FIRE"St. J. Stevas on ecumenism

"1 thoroughly disagree It was a serious Hist., lacking

with the motion", declaredNorman St. Stevas M.P., atthe Hist. on Wednesday,April 27th, speaking to, "thatthis House regards the Ecu-menical movement as a flashin the pan". "1 attendedevery session of the SecondVatican Council" he stated,"and I saw a flash in the panbecome a forest fire".

Dr. St. John Stevas, who is oneon the most vocal liberal layCatholics in England, said he hadseen "a most extraordinary changeof atmosphere" brought about."The Roman Church ¯is nowanxious, and indeed willing, toengage in dialogue with otherchurches. There has never beena Council so positive in its attitude,and one has only to contrast thereception given in Rome to Arch-bishop Fisher, with that given re-cently to Dr. Ramsey on his visitthere, to see the difference." Andyet, in an indirect reference toIreland, Dr. Stevas sounded anote of caution: "We must allowtime for new influences to worktheir way through into localhierahchies in remote countries."

the usual frivolities and irrele-vancies. One speaker had dis-covered a priest among theLaurentians, and another knew ofa " Cardinal" Lucey in Cork.

"Continental rumours say anumber of travel agencies haveset up trips to see a pre-Conciliar Irish church," said Rev.E. C. Perdue, quiet but authorita-tive, and earning deep praise forhis speech from the distinguishedguest. "Let’s avoid sentimentalismand wishful thinking," cried theO h-Eigeartaigh. " Shame," sangthe opposition. Mr. Stiven, he ofthe dark brow and blunt sword,grated: "The Irish Catholics willchange their attitude." "Proveit," suggested the Treasurer. Hecould not. Many members pre-dictably found contraception moreimportant than Infallibility, butfew had done their homework onNatural Law.

Dr. Stevas told the house of theyoung lad who got confused whenhis teacher tried to explain thedifference between arson and in-cest, going, home and setting fireto his sister. Everyone sang" Should old Acquinas be forgot,"and the Ecumenical movement hadgone a stage further.

MANYCASUALTIESDUBLIN BELFAST WALK

Only four walkers, and a single women’s relay team,managed to complete the Dublin-Belfast Walk last weekend.The blistering heat had a shattering effect upon the 30-oddcompetitors, the majority retiring before Dundalk had beenreached.

Robert Winterbottom was firsthome, knocking 15 minutes off theprevious record time. Three hourslater, at 10.30 a.m. on Saturdaymorning, Eamonn McQuade fol-lowed him, then Pat Browne and awomen’s relay team consisting ofSheila Bawn, Catharine Cox andRosemary Elliott, and finally aweary David Wright early onSaturday afternoon.

It was sunny and hot outsideBelfast City Hall as the walkerslined up. A female U.T.V. per-s6nality in dazzling pink trousersuit sent them on their way. Weeksof intensive training, days of idlespeculation were soon put to thetest. The gap with the leadersbegan to widen, soon all werestrung along the road according totheir various athletic capabilities.There was a fez for head gearsomewhere, and far at the reartrudged William Garner, Arabhead-dress and all. Winterbottomwas striding out--others werebeginning to count the yards. Thesun rose high. A quick coke here,a rest there, but the road beckonedall the time.

By nightfall only the hardest ofthe hard men were left. It wasnow the home straight from Dun-dalk in, and Winterbottom wasmiles away. The ladies’ relayteam had a sumptuous meal at 3

a.m. on a car roof, complete withtablecloth, and headlights if notcandle-light. Through the dark-ness all the remaining walkers wereaccompanied by pacers, PatBrowne nearly being walked intothe ground by three car loads ofsupporters who refused to let himstop! Another nearly droppeddead as Trinity News photo-grapher Sean Walmsley popped aflash bulb at him on a country roadat dead of night.

Hard-luck story was Stan Greer,who after 96 miles had to creak toa halt at Swords. Winterbottomnever faltered. He knew it was hisfourth attempt, he knew he hadcome fifth, third and second in con-secutive years, he knew he mustwin now. " Almost a professionalat it," he grasped later, Worthit? " Oh yes l" But others werenot so sure. Painful blisters lingeron, and the only consolation wasthe prospect of assisting in theconsumption of the first prize, abarrel of stout. Doing it nextyear? " Not me !"

sellersThis year’s Yes has been

dogged by constant troublewith the police. On Fridayweek last the editor, NickRobinson, and two of hisassistants were hauled off toa police station very early inthe morning for defacing abus shelter with posters. Agenial Nick remarked laterof his captor, muchchastened : " He surroundedus with his truncheon."

More serious trouble fol-lowed, as the police twiceentered College, demandingthat posters littering the citybe removed within 24 hours.Failure to comply with thisdemand, despite a further24-hour reprieve gained byMrs. Crawford, Secretary tothe Junior Dean, has resultedin a £20 fine. Some un-known agent had in themeantime seen to it that bythe time the magazineappeared, practically everyposter was in shreds, rightacross the city. The FineGael President condidate,T. F. 0’HJggins, has in-advertently gained s o m echeap p.ublicity, by chancepositioning of some Yesposters (see left).

Nor was the troublefinished yet. S e 11 e r s,promised in abundance,failed to appear to sell themagazine. So far only 9,000of a total of 30,000 copieshave been distributed, andurgent appeals have beenissued. Hapless individualsslumbering over their booksin the Reading Room havebeen commandered by astrident Jim McKenna intothe role of Yes salesmen."U.C.D. have failed tohandle as many copies asexpected," Nick Robinsontold Trinity News, "and weurgently need people withcars, indeed all possiblesellers, to help us over thenext few days." The originaltarget of £3,000 seemsdistant at the moment. Un-less students make an effortto help, sights will be con-siderably lowered.

in G.M.B." Our inability to conceive of

an idea of God stems not fromscience but from a failure toevolve a language going beyond~cientific details." So said theVery Rev. Alan Richardson, Deanof York and distinguished theo-logian, when delivering the OukonMemorial Lectures in the G.M.B.last Friday and Saturday.

Dr. Richardson said that a"very critical question forChristians is the best historical in-terpretation of evidence given inthe Bible." Yet the New Testa-ment cannot, must not, be takenliterally. " One must appreciatethe poetic and symbolic elementsin Biblical language, for the writerswere trying to describe somethingwhich was beyond the power ofdescription." Discussing " Christi-anity, Humanism and ReligiousAtheism," Dr. Richardson definedhumanism as "advocating asecular living Christianity -- theworship of a non-existent God,"the accent thus being on thesecond Commandment. This ledhim to the term "ReligiousAtheism." The writings of PaulTillich were discussed in some-what cold terms, and moving on toExistentialisms, Dr. Richardsonremarked on "the utterly in-scruitable language of Heidigger’sphilosophy."

The lectures drew a largeattendance.

CLASSICAL SOC.

Imperialismexamined

" Ireland shattered the keystoneof British Imperial existence in the20th century," declared W. D.Jacques, at a meeting of theClassical Society last Friday. Deepin No. 40, on a calm, warm night,Mr. Jacques’ paper consistedmainly of a comparison betweenthe British and the RomanE m p i r e s, crystal-gazing intoEurope as a rousing conclusion." British imperialism contrasts un-favourably with that of Rome," heannounced, throwing in for goodmeasure, " It seems certain that themost basic elements in British im-perialism are doomed in Africa."

A lucid and well-argued paperwas followed by a desultory dis-cussion during which it was sug-gested that "Imperialism" canmean "extraordinarily little," andthat the " Irish Empire" is to-dayone of the strongest examples ofthat tenn. Summing-up, theChairman, Mr. Sturdy, argued thatthe basis of the British Constitu-tion from 1688 on, lay in thesovereignty of the people, and itwas this principle, in its logical ex-tension throughout the Empirewhich brought the structure crash-ing down.

TRIN ITY N EWSA Dublin University Undergraduate Weekly

The Times are Changing"Change.," said Bernard Trunyan, " is some-

times unnecessary~ especially from b~tter toworse." We hope that the unfamiliar look ofto-day’s issue of "Trinity News " will be short-lived.

The question has been asked why thereshould be any change at all. Change is the lawof death. If things evolve they die a little."Trinity News" of last week was not the"Trinity News" of 1960 or 1953. Every news-paper is evolving all the time. Top Newspapersserve Society; if they are to do so successfullythey cannot divorce themselves from its badhabits. The unique eccentricity of "TheTimes" was its one virtue.

There is no question of altering the essentialcharacter of "Trinity News." Some peoplehave expressed the dark suspicion that one ofthe reasons "Trinity News" is revitalising itselfis to get more Society readers. Of course it is.

Any resemblance this leader may bear tothat in "The Times" on Tuesday is purelyintentional. As everyone knows~ "TrinityNews" goes to press on Monday.

Dublin’s down and outs" Where do you live? said he.

I do not live, I reside,I exist was the reply.

And where do you reside?At the Tiger’s bay,And what hotel is that?That is no hotel~that is the Morning Star."

The Morning Star is the chief hostel of the Legion ofMary for the so-called "Destitutes of Dublin". For 2/- abed, breakfast and supper is provided. It is run entirely byvoluntary labour and on charity collected funds. St. VincentDe Paul runs a hostel in a back lane on the same lines; theSalvation Army has a hostel in York St., and the corporationrun a night shelter in Townsend St. where for 6d. you canget a bed and cooking facilities. Apart from these nightshelters there are food centres, about 22 of them, where agood meal costs 2d. a course (main course, with vegetables,meat and potatoes).

AT LUNCH time between11.00-2.00, these food centres arecrowded, and the people thereare the ones seen begging in thestreets, sitting on steps, leaningagainst closed-pub walls. As asection of society they cannot becategorised into groups, each oneis an individual, each has his ownstory--belief is optional.

The itinerants form a com-munity of their own, camping inCherry Orchard, they come in

daily to beg and go home again,it is their true way of life andthey know no other. They areapart from the real down andouts.

THESE DOWN AND OUTSare social misfits, alcoholics, men-tally abnormal people, who forone reason or another havedrifted down our cherished socialscale to the level of tramps. Manyhave come up from the countrylooking for big money and not

finding it, drinking their wayfrom flat, to garret, to boardinghouse, to hostel. They never adaptto city economics and are com-pletely incapable of holding a joblonger than it takes to save upenough money to move back fromhostel to boarding house, thendown to pub and back to hostelagain. Unemployment may bemoderately high in Dublin, butevery person in authority wespoke to maintained that thesepeople, could, and did, get jobs.They were just unable to keepthem.

THE CASE HISTORY of oneman aged 60: He once owned alarge prosperous farm in thecountry. Eventually he took todrink; his wife kicked him out,or he left of his own accord whenthings got bad. He came to Dub-lin last Christmas, since then he’sbeen staying in pubs and hostels.His wife sold out and brought thechildren to Dublin, she now ownsa guest house and refuses to seehim.

NOT ALL these men rlrink.Some of the sisters in chargedescribed them as being mentallyabnormal. They don’t want towork, have no ambition, someeven refuse to collect the nationalassistance they are entitled to.

tom chance

THAT TOM, to many a TypicalIrishman, should stand out againstthe backcloth of his own country,surely still teeming with them,is some measure of the indepen-dence that assures him indivi-duality. Possessing boundlessenergy, he is never predictable,and because of his inclination toact as a lone wolf he is not easyto get to know well. Restless,he will gyrate around a room, toleave it on some sudden impulse.With an extrovert’s lack of con-cern for interior motives he hasa refreshing unselfconsciousnessuseful to a photographer ~ forhe is quite prepared to thrust acamera before the nose of someunsuspecting stranger in a busqueue.

!the casualties of society

They merely exist ’as the manwho wrote the poem does. Theirfriends sometimes help them out.These people do not seem par-ticularly unhappy. They keepalive, they have the day to them-selves, they are no part of therat race for money that goes onaround them. They can watchT.V., play cards and keep warmin the hostel. And this is their

life. They are not all old. Someare in their Twenties, already setin a way of life they would finddifficult to change, not becausethey are unfit physically to do so,but because they simply do notwant to. A number of these youngpeople have come from remandhomes and find it difficult to getjobs with their criminal record.Yet one wonders whether it isreally all that hard. The attemptsat rehabiliation are confined tothe volunteer helpers finding jobsin the few firms in which theyhave personal contacts. There arevery few trained social workers.

T.B. is still fairly commonamong the older people, and thisdisease, with its recurring attacks,prevents many from holdingsteady jobs. Though it is interest-ing to note that they seldomwork even in times of goodhealth. Again there are the onesthat have been born in the slums,raised in the slums, and havenever been able to adapt to anyother type of existence. Somebeg, others live off friends, someon the national assistance. Butonce again the common denomi-nator is a strong individualism,and no desire or ambition to gainmoney by work or any other

means. This does not necessarilymean they steal. Some do, butthey haven’t the education or thebrains to do it regularly for largesums.

SCATTERED AMONG these"Casualities of society "are whatone could call for want of a betterword, "The kinks". The old manwith the grey beard and theragged overcoat, pushing a tyre-less, peddleless bicycle downPearse St. with a sack on thehandle bars, a sack where thechain should be, and another onthe saddle. The other one stroll-ing along Sandymount strand withlast weeks Sunday Times as insu-lation, reading this weeks editionavidily. One used to be in chargeof Customs and Excise until hegave it all up some years ago, in-vested some of his savings in atent and a strong pair of shoes,and went on the road. Anotherwas a medical student in Trinity.Another was a high Court Judgeuntil, when drunk, he sentencedsomeone to death for a drivingoffence. They harm nobody andthey are as free as it is possibleto be in modern civilisation. Thepolice accept them, and seldommove them on from the busshelters. They have chosen to goon the road merely because they

hated a ’nine to five’ existence.Some live off savings. None wantto change their way of life.

THE ACT OF 1939 defined aperson who could qualify fornational assistance as "One whois unable by his own industry orother lawful means to providethe necessities of life for himselfand dependents." The amounteach person receives varies enor-mously, but at most it neverleaves more than a few shillingsin the pocket after the weekshostel rent is paid. But more im-portant is the fact that so fewclaim it. Why? Nobody reallyknows. It may be pride, refusingto accept Government money, orrefusing to accept their ownproperty. In any case many ofthose who claim it, spend themoney on drink or the horsesrather than food and clothes.

SO WHAT CAN be done?That depends entirely on whetherone believes that these peopleought to be helped any more.They are, for the most part, happy,and they would not fit into whatwe call normal society. But atthe same time they are a burdenon it in the shape of nationalassistance and charitable funds.At least their being theregives the Priests something to do!

uthp"mo lece--WnAT DO OUTSIDERS THINK OF TRINITY?

Peo2~c in th~ ~treet were asked:~

"WHAT DO YOU TH~NK OF TRINITY COLLEGE? "

" Some of the students in there have more money to spend on them-selves than I have for my whole family, there are five of us, I think it’sbloody unfair."

" Nice, polite students."

" Well, they’re snobs and anti-Catholic, but education is a rare enoughCommodity in this country, so I suppose they are worth the space theytake up."

"I don’t like it. I’m a Socialist."

" It appears to isolate itself. The average man is not aware of whatTrinity means to him and the life of Ireland. He no more looks in atTrinity than Trinity looks out at him. Shaw said: ’Look, for if youglance you do not see.’ Neither group is sufficiently curious about theother."

"I think it stinks of Protestants."

" Trinity’s getting tamer. Students don’t do the wild things theyused to do. It’s a pity."

" It doesn’t have enough influence in Ireland. We ought to have abloody government from it, instead of that crew in Leinster House."

" A preposterous shadow, lengthening in the moontide of our nationalprosperity."

"There’s a lot more ambition in there than ability."

" It’s the only real university in Ireland."

"It’s a breeding ground for affectation and social snobbery."

" X collection of buildings of varying dates which make a wonderfulsymposium."

"It’s a social club for the wealthy Irish and their English friends."

" A little bit of Heaven in Holy Ireland."

"It’s only a bloody social rat-race~I was there myself."

" I always thought it was meant to be an Irish University, it isn’t atthe moment."

"I think iCs wonderful, it adds colour to dirty old Dublin."

" They are a lot of snobs. You get an Irishman going there andcoming out talking with an English accent. It’s still a symbol of Britishrule."

’" Great, best in the world!"

" It’s no different from any other University. Everyone’s trying to brmore eccentric than everyone else."

"I’m the only sane person to come out of it in the last ten years."

" Well, they are a race and a law unto themselves."

BELL-RINGING

St. Patrick’sSt. Patrick’s Cathedral, 2.15

p.m. Saturday. A few campanolo-gists gather and ascend the build-ing’s cold, damp, l lth centurytower. They are members of theTrinity Guild of Change Ringers,the weekly session for beginnersis about to start.

The Guild is quite separate fromSt. Patrick’s Society. Although acertain amount of communiondoes take place: Ann Sadier,Anthony Vere-Hodge andHelen Hubert from Trinityare also members of theSt. Patrick’s group; similarly,Charlie Reede of St. Patrick’sproves a great help to uninitiatedstudent visitors.

Change ringing is not confined toSt. Patrick’s, but is also practisedat Christ Church and St. George’sDrumcondra. Throughout most ofthe world change ringing hasbeen mechanised; in Britain andIreland, however, the manual

method continues.Nearly every tower in Ireland

has a set of handbells; the TrinityGuild has a set on loan from Pro-fessor Boydell. When beginnersbecome proficient on the smallbells, they progress to the towerbells. Contrary to popular opi-nion, campanological adeptnessdepends upon rhythmic precisionrather than strength¯ This ex-plains why 120 of the 400 activeringers in Ireland are females, andwhy it is not unusual to see partof No. 6 at St. Patrick’s on aSaturday afternoon.

PRINTS

InvestmentsPrints are an investment. Five

years ago seventeenth centuryprints and engravings of Irishscenes cost between 30/- and£13, now they’re worth any-thing from £4-10, to £30.Prints of T.C.D. by suchpeople as Nalton (c.1790), Taylor(c.1815), Kelly (c.1815), Brocas(c.1829), and Wright (c.1830) are

rarer but do still exist and canbe found at the Neptune Gallery(Stephen’s Green), the MuseumBookshop, Hanna’s, Combridges(Grafton St.) and in the bookand antique shops of the quays.Prices are fairly uniform. TheMuseum Bookshop sells reproduc-tions at 2/6¯ In a month’s timethey will be available at 12/6coloured and mounted¯

20th century drawings ofTrinity are plentiful; prices varyfrom 7/6-40/-, and here again,subject to demand, prices couldrocket. It’s all a question ofpatient investment¯

:TAZZ

Wordie JonesWhile the Folk Society thrives

in College, and big beat rides onthe crest of a wave around Dub-lin, the Jazz Club under the aus-pices of Wordie plays every Non-day evening in No. 6 and saysthat the purpose of the club, be-sides providing music for all in-terested, is to give any jazz musi-cians in College a chance to playtogether.

Jones has already had a coupleof outside groups playing andhepes to get more. Generallyspeaking, the jazz scene in Dub-lin is dead--or rather, has yetto be born and little encourage-ment is given to existing groupsby club managers. This is be-cause modern jazz, particularly inthe amateur sphere, is essentiallya musician’s music and thereforehas only a limited appeal.

But the Wordie Jones quintetdefinitely have talent although,as Fryer (bass) so modestly ad-mits, "it is not the same as listen-ing to Miles Davies." It would bea shame if the Club folded againthrough" lack of support.

Md3/e

On arrival at the port in Beirut, the ship is met by ahorde of twinkling-eyed Arabs hoarsely shouting "Change

Money ’" and waving a wad of bank notes in a variety ofcurrencies and denominations. If by some mischance you stillhave some Egyptian pounds worthless and illegal outside thestate) then these individuals will change them to Lebanesepounds at a rate favourable to themselves but reduceable!by barter.

DAMASCUS, the capital ofSyria, is a traditional Arab town.The Street-called-Straight passesby the El Azad mosque, famousfor its beautiful mosiacs andrich Persian carpets. The Syriansare an extremely hospitablepeople and as orthodox moslemsthey show kindness to strangers.In Damascus the people aremore emancipated than in coun-try towns where all the womenare heavily veiled. Aleppo, for-merly a great caravan tradecentre is now dominated by thefortress in the centre of thetown, and still retains some ofits commercial tradition, espe-cially in the soul which is full ofaromatic smells and the soundof wailing Arab music.

JORDAN IS possibly still morefascinating¯ The road to Ammanpasses Jerash, a delapidatedRoman town with a unique el-liptical form. Amman itself isbuilt on seven hills and has ex-panded enormously since T. E.Lawrence, disguised as a woman,visited what he describes as "asmall village." Sleeping on theroof of a hotel in the centreof the town among bedouinfamilies, one might reflect some-what testily that science hasgiven a new dimension to reli-gion in the Middle East, whenthe Muezzin from a nearbyminaret calls his prayer at 4.30a.m. through megaphones andshatters any idea of slumber.

The Dead SeaJERUSALEM, is an interesting

place for bible-story seekers andmakes an excellent centre fromwhich to visit Bethlehem andJericho (both rather disappoint-ing). Bathing in the Dead Seafrom the Dead Sea Hotel bythe River Jordan is rather un-pleasant since the water is fullof silt. At Ein Geddi in Israel,however, the water is clear andfurthermore there are showersfrom cold springs to remove theunpleasant stickiness of salt.

FINALLY Turkey~,, which israther detached from the rest ofthe Middle East. The people areMoslem but have discarded thetraditional fez and jilaba ofIslam; they are simple, generousand immensely hospitable. TheTurkish Mediterranean is idyllic,made up of small bays and manyarchaelogical remains. Ankara, thepolitical capital, is modern anddull and is quite different fromIstanbul. Arising from the Bos-phorus to one side and the Gol-

den Horn to the other, the mina-irets of St. Sophia’s and the blue lmosques are outlined against the isky. Ferries ply across the water,between the two parts of thecity, one in Europe the other inAsia. The Topkapi museum situa.ted at the top of the hill shouldbe visited and provides a mar-vellous view over the water andthe city. It is also possible totravel by river bus up the Bos-phorus to the Black Sea stoppingat many curious villages withwaterfront cafes on stilts fromwhich the sound of clanky Turkishmusic effuses.

THE MIDDLE East provides amultitude of experiences for anytravelling students, and the fol-lowing information may be use-ful:

Useful Hints...... Hitch-hiking: This is unfamiliarto the few people who own pri-vate cars and who do not under-stand why you should travel in thisway when public transport is socheap. But it is easy to do so aslorries and cars always stop. Longtrousers are advisable and girlsshould be particularly¯ wary.

Language: Arabic is the normallanguage in the Middle East ex-cept in Turkey and in Israel. Eng-lish is the second language inJordan, Israel and Egypt. French ismore useful in Syria and the Le-banon. A combination of boththese languages, and German, isuseful for Turkey.

Hostels: There are few youthhostels in the Middle East but anumber of student hostels (N.U.S.card) are to be found in Istanbul,Beirut and Jerusalem. Anyway,small hotels in the Arab quartersof towns are inexpensive thoughnot always clean.

Arab/Israeli Frontiers: It is im-possible to visit Arab countriesand Israel at the same time unlessIsrael is at the end of a tour. Onecannot re-enter any Arab countryand must leave the country byplane, or boat, to a non-Arabstate. All countries in the MiddleEast require visas except Turkey;obtainable at frontiers, but moreconvienient and cheaper from re-presentative embassies in Londonbeforehand¯ Never declare avisit to Israel on a visa form foran Arab state.

Quickest and cheapest route:By boat and train to Istanbul orBeirut via Athens, student fareapproximately £30 return, 6 days.Alternatively by student flights toI~:tanbul or Athens (and thenceby boat) approximately £37 re.turn, 3 days.

LOW[)OwNWhat a delight that the glorious summer weather of the last [ew

days has given us all the opportunity to air our new summer dresses andthe men the chance to shed their jackets and stroll around open necked.What delight, too, to lie on the Dining Hall steps or in College Parkdreamily wasting in lethargic opulence the wealth of time that is ours asundergraduates. But how it has been spoilt, this year in particular, by themountain of rubbish that is left behind as the crowds depart from theirerstwhile repositeries. If only the coca-cola bottles and cigarette packetswere removed by their owners, College might not look like a trippers’picnic spot on Brighton beach---and surely that can never be consideredthe ambition o[ a university. If the trend continues we may even su/[eryet ~urther bureaucratic intervention to clean the College up, and thatwould be too much.

LUCINDA LOWDOWN

I will start with last week,when Jerry Kynaston, RobinClarke, and Keith Hornby clearedthe junk heap in Herbert Place tomake room for friends! I arrivedlate (from the last cockers to beheld in No. 6 where Gill Hawserand Co. were chatting up theirlecturers, in particular Jim McGil-vray, who likes to mix pleasurewith business), to find TomChance taking liberties with someone’s mini. Upstairs Ben Milling-ton Buck had forsaken the ladiesto discuss merchant banking witha gentleman from the city, whilemilling crowds attempted to danceto two different gramophones.

Dinah Stabb added striped sex-appeal near the bar; Ann Heynocame, saw, and left. Giles Wilkin-son was smiling at everybody.

On Tuesday Clive Rowe, a well-known holder of excellent par-ties, invited his friends of qualityto impress his mother, hopingHugh Teacher wouldn’t let theside down Dermot Scott, insistingthat his palate had been raped,found the champagne "verystrong" and carried AI McDowalldownstairs on the strength of it--and up again! Andrew David-son, with Pare Beamish lookingglamorous, had won the totedouble at Punchestown, and wasoff to celebrate. No one knowswhat happened to Simon Met-calf, except that he ate too muchsmoked salmon. Ruth Ludgate andMary McDowall left to go toAnthology ’16., and on to Balls-bridge where Red Morris had in-vented a Player type party--itmust have been, because JeremyBell was there.

Wednesday evening saw PaddyHilliard and Drew Logue dispen-sing wine out of a bucket to theauthors of ’Cofitact’ and others,

but mostly to Nora Cookin their flat above the CrystalBallroom. Richard Greene andDave Durrell both wished theywere Kenneth Williams, but Jona-than Bradshaw thought he wasquite amusing enough as Jona-than Bradshaw. Richard Stevens,blessed with a new audience,found himself hilarious.

Paula Street -- wouldn’t be thesame without her -- was enter-tained by Gregory Chambers,Peter Morris and Rubert Lane inno. 5 on Thursday, and so wereLiz AIIberry and Nicki Winmill--lucky men!

The high spot of the week,however, was the dance given forCaroline and Mindy Pack-Beres-ford in the Kildare Street Club.Although several people had clear-ly come on from Ken’s at thePavilion" the evening had an airof dignity--how could it fail towith Douglas Henderson present?Mike West had returned for theoccasion, Caroline Morgan at hisside. While Jerry Pearson kepttrying to ring Trinity Hall, An-drew Gibb struck his characteris-tic pose against the mantlepiece,and mesmerised Jenny Laird bymistake.

I only just reached Trinity HallBall in time to discover that Rose-mary Chamier was escorted byFrances Gilbert, and Merita Emer-son, by all-purpose Moray Scott-Dalgleish (see last paragraph.)Sarah Gill looked beautifullyremote, but it was the stern gazeof Honor Bell that sent us roaringinto Rathmines, wheel-borne byNoel Broderick, complete with apacket of Miss McCuthen’s bis-cuits.

Which all goes to remind me--Where’s Rachel Woods thisterm ?

letters received last week.

Dear Lucinda,

Slowdown! Your vituperative,unreasoning and bigoted condem-nation of insular and bigotedNortheners has hurt us to thequick of our orange souls. Thatsome of us have so offended--how did you put it--the "un-obtrusively civilised life ofT.C.D." is a matter for graveconcern. That we have "no socialconscience"--this is an interestingterm, and if it has anything todo with quasi-Oxford accents andpseudo- intellectual chit-chat,coupled with the denigration ofthe working class, we’re all forhaving none.

To describe the undergrads whoplay football in ’Botany Bay’ asso "many factory apprentices"merely underlies the smug, self-satisfied, supercilious, so-calledupper-class snobbery of whichyou appear to be a mouthpiece.

You seem opposed to the ideathat some Northeners should wishto work. How terribly red-brick!But really, Lucinda, you must bereasonable, perhaps their Daddy’scould not afford to keep them atcollege if they failed their exams.

You end your rather patheticattempt to slur our good charac-ters by an appeal to Easter weekhysteria, telling us that we might

receive a greater welcome in theland to which we belong ? if wedid not make ourselves such un-savoury foreigners. Ireland,Lucinda, is not inside the wallsof T.C.D., but outside, and youmay not realise, that to a greatmany people in Ireland, the veryfact that you, Lucinda, attendT.C.D. makes you an ’unsavouryforeigner’,

Yours till Paisley is President,an Insular Northener.

P.S. Lucinda, How do you knowthat Northeners shout abuse atthe walls of College in the earlyhours of nearly EVERY morning?

Sir,- As you say in youreditorial, the Hist. election is not acampaign. It is not intended tobe. Officers are elected on thebasis of their record and potentialwithin the Society, not on theirability to run a campaign. Theelectorate is limited to those whocan iudge the candidates for whatthey are, not what they would liketo be. The ban on canvassing isa rational policy. A worthycandidate can succeed without alot of enthusiastic friends preparedto use doubtful means to achievetheir aims. Such a system maywell be introspective, but there isnothing unreal about it. -- Yoursfaithfully,

ALAN CRAIG.

Sir,--Last Thursday I salliedforth to collect my copy of TrinityNews. I eventually found one onthe floor in the Buttery, whereuponI turned instantly to " Lucinda"(to see if she overheard the ratheramusing and terribly originalthings I was saying to myselfbehind the record player at THATPARTY the previous Tuesday).

Being a Northern Irishman my-self, I was surprised and hurt toread what she had written concern-ing my fellow countrymen; and Iresolved to pen a strong letter ofprotest and demand a full apology.

However, as I was unable to findany notepaper on the floor in theButtery, I had time to think. Onreflection it seemed to me thatsomething writen both in haste andin anger might conceivably be ex-posed by the crafty "Lucinda" toher readers as a further instance of" coarse, .... biggoted," and per-haps even "insular" behaviour.

People sitting near me in theButtery last Thursday morningmay have observed me smilesecretly.--Yours cunningly,

J. DANIEL T~IotavsoN.

Dear Sir,I would like to point out that

Hr. Michael Lambert’s expeditionto the High Atlas is not thefirst ever Irish expedition to theseregions. In 1962 the D.U. climbingClub visited those parts and suc-ceeded in making the first Irishascent of Jebel Taubkal, amongother peaks climbed. TheD.U.C.C. expedition cost £45 perman and was not subsidised inany way.

Yours etc.,David Whitehead,

(Former President D.U.C.C.)

[RUGBY

SEVENS SHOULDBE WELCOMED

ONE OF the most commonsuggestions made during the yearwas that the Rugby Club shouldorganise a seven - a - side com-petition to add some variety to itsprogramme. The idea has beentaken up and a competition will beheld in Trinity Week. Anybodythinking of entering a team should ~contact GERRY MURPHY," the feelis a mere 6d. per head. i

This competition should give!the lowlier members of the clubthe chance to distinguish them-selves, for 1st XV men are beingspread out among the teams. Thewhole venture provides welcomeevidence that the Rugby Clubreally is making an effort tobrighten itself up and to cater forplayers on its junior teams.

Seven Trinity men got someuseful practice for the forthcomingtournament when they played in theJordanstown Invitation Sevens onSaturday. Led by DEREK SPENCE,,

the Trinity VII reached the semi-ifinal by defeating Carrickfergus18-6 and Lansdowne 24-3. In theCarrickfergus match, ASHLEY RAYscored four tries, three of whichwere converted by PADDY HILL-YARD. HILLYARD was again ingood kicking form against Lans-downe and Trinity played somebrilliant rugby, but the highlightwas a colossal penalty goal fromthe half-way line by DOUG HEY-WOOD.

Trinity went out in the semi-final to Collegians, who won 8-3by virtue of a converted penaltytry, but their showing had beenhighly creditable on their firstappearance in this competition, towhich only two Dublin sides areinvited each year.

ON THE BALL...

TRINITY’S SQUASH team wonthe Leinster League when theydefeated Baldonnel last week.Although all five matches werewon, the Air Corps men did notlet Trinity have it all their ownway and only D. BUDD won in lessthan five games. W. BARR wasgiven a particularly tough matchby Rugby international M. HIP-WELL and did very well to winafter being two games down. P.HOLDER got Off tO a similar badstart, but he won a torrid thirdgame 10-8 and went on to victory.In the Gray Cup, Trinity, havingdisposed of Newbridge, came upagainst Fizwilliam and won.

The Ladies’ Hockey team endedtheir league programme on a¯ happy note when they drew 2-2with Irish Senior Cup winnersMuckross at Trinity Hall lastThursday. Trinity were inferior inskill, but their spirit was un-quenchable and they got off to amagnificent start when STEPHANIEEGAN scored from a centre byJACQUELINE KEATINGE in theopening minutes. Muckross weresoon level and they led 2-1 at half-time, but Trinity equalised throughNORA COOK and almost took thelead when a KEATINGE shot went

just past the post. However, Muck-ross were attacking at the end andit took all the effort the defencecould muster to keep them out.

DAVE BUCHANAN has beenelected captain of the Rugby Clubfor next season. DEREK SPENCE

will be vice-captain. The electionof other Officers for 1966-67 willtake place at the Rugby Clubsummer A.G.M. to-morrow (Fri-day, May 6) at 5 p.m. in thePavilion. Among the motionsdown for discussion is one propos-ing a change to black shorts nextseason for all teams below the 1stXV.

After the rather disastrous per-formance at the British Univer-sites’ Championships, where theteam was knocked out in the fistround, the Sailing Club put up amuch more creditable showing atthe West Kirby Open Team Rac-ing event and were only eliminatedby a very strong Thorpe Bay YachtClub team. Trinity, who beat theMidland Sailing Club in the firstrace, looked like getting throughwhen they beat Thorpe Bay 20-19¼ in the first race, but theopposition staged a fine recoveryand won the second race 21¼-17.

Leopardstown t h i s Saturdaystages the Wills Gold Flake Stakes,an event which invariably throwsup a worthwhile Irish challenger forthe Epsom Derby. Four years agoLARKSPUR was victorious beforegoing on to win, so perhaps therewill be another LARKSPUR, lurkingin the sixty-one strong field. Tobe adamant about something run-ning, let alone winning, is askingfor it at this early stage. But ofthe three-year-olds, RADBROOKand NORTHERN UNION h a v edistinct possibilities. RADBROOKwas an all the way winner at theCurragh recently, while NORTHERNUNION nailed REUBENS at Naaslast Saturday. Prendergast hasten left in the race and VincentO’Brien eleven, so their selectedwill be fancied and if DONATOturns out for O’Brien, he wouldbe my choice to win the race twicerunning from NORTHERN UNION.
