PrecautionsSTRINGENT precautions are to be taken on Ball night, 28th of May,

against illegal entries. Last year it was found that at least 300extra people attended the Ball either by illegal entry from CollegeRooms or on forged tickets. In addition to the usual barricading ofBotany Bay and New Square, more porters will be placed outsiderooms and plain clothes detectives will mix freely with guests.Trinity Ball Cabaret been taken against bad weather;

Highlights of this year’s Ballwill be the open-air ballad sessionbetween the Library and theRubrics at which three groupswill sing, and a highly professionalcabaret in the G.M.B. Star attrac-tion will be Trinity graduateTerence Brady of " Beyond theFringe" and " Dig This Rhubarb "fame. Brady is well known forhis classic interpretation of theJunior Dean, for which he oncefined a student £5. He will beappearing with the successful Irishstar Donal Donnelly.

This year’s Ball Committeeunder the chairmanship of DeclanBudd has also decided to do awaywith the old Campanile bar. Inits place, two long bars runningeast and west from the Campanilewill connect up with the biggerawning system, providing extraserving space and shelter from therain. Fullest precautions have

complex alternative arrange-ments, far more comprehensivethan in recent years, have beenmade so that all the entertain-ments can go in College buildings.

Extensive use is to be made offloodlighting; principle buildingsand the Campanile will be high-lighted and an attempt will bemade to light up the outsidefacade.

Since application forms weresent out, it has been decided toarrange an extra earlier meal at10.30. Those eligible for ticketswill be asked if they would preferthis meal when they collect theirtickets. Wine, at a fixed price,is to be served with the meal,though coffee will be availableseparately in the ElizabethanSociety’s Rooms in No. 6.

The Ball will start at the usualtime of I0 o’clock and last until4 in the morning.

Yes AgainTo-day sees the second pub-

lication of "Yes," the charitymagazine. After a bombasticadvertising campaign, includingslides in cinemas, plugs on RadioCaroline, posters from Liverpoolto Limerick, and a Press con-ference yesterday, " Yes " is onceagain on sale.

The organisers, lead by Chair-man Simon Morgan, expect toraise a minimum of £1,800 thisyear to be donated to selectedcharities. These are CerebralPalsy, Cancer Research, W~.U.S.,and U.N.I.C.E.F.

Last year 12,500 copies weresoldwthis time the target is over20,000. In 1964, £1,050 weredonated to four charities. By1967, " Yes " expects to be sell-ing 70,000 copies, realising £9,000.

As can be seen by reading" Yes," 1965, the Rag Mag.tendencies evident last year havebeen removed. In its presentformat, "Yes" fills a gap instudent publications in Ireland--

"Radiant in all her glory." ~S. Wafmsley.

Hist. ElectionSurprises

Present Treasurer, MichaelCameron was elected as Auditorof the College Historical Societyfor the 196th session last nightafter the first use of proportionalrepresentation in the annualelections of the Society. His 51to 48 defeat of the only othercandidate, Cian O’hEightertaigh,came as a surprise to many, for itwas commonly assumed thatunless Cameron secured Com-mittee nomination his chanceswould be limited. This he failedto do, but steadily gatheredsupport as his opponent ran intosome confusion over his candida-ture to win by three votes in thehigh poll of 87 per cent.

Other surpises occurred in theresults for the offices of Censorand Librarian, but all Committeenominations for the six membersof the General Committee weredeclared elected.

Auditor, Michael Cameron;Treasurer, Hugh O’Neill; RecordSecretary, Michael Shiels; Corres-pondence Secretary, Brian Wil-liamson; Censor, ChristopherKnox; Librarian, Francis Skeffing-ton. Committee: William Stan-ford, Clive Westwood, StephenHarris, Peter Stiven, MichaelO’Sial, Gordon Ledbetter.

Dillon forSenate

When nominations for thethree Trinity seats in the Senateclosed last week, surprise last-minute nomination was that ofWilliam Dillon, Economics andPolitical Science graduate, andyoungest entrant in the field ofsix. This careful timing is part ofa well organised and uncon-ventional campaign to elect to theSenate a representative of theeconomics and business section.

Company Director Dillon saidthat the Senate should becomemore of a "vocation" chamber andhe felt that as the majority oflegislation in the late sixtieswould be on economic matters itwas essential that there should bea Senator qualified to speak onsuch matters.

One strong plank in his plat-form is his attitude to the Irishqualification necessary for govern-ment service. "Thousands ofgraduates are leaving the countrybecause they do not fulfill theserequirements, and many others,desperately needed at home, donot return for fear of promotionbeing by-passed on competence inthe Irish language."

At 25, many have claimed thathe is too young for the Senateand that his nomination ispremature. D i I I o n replies:" That’s what they said toKennedy."

Report from RingAn Cumann Gaelach took 2nd

place in the 3-act play section ofthe Drama Festival at Ring, Co.Waterford, last Saturday, with itspresentation of "Cuimhne IsDearmad." The play was basedon a Spanish original and waswritten by Junior SophisterFfrinne Nf ChreacMin.

In fact the performance of theplay was really only a minor partof the week-end’s activities. After

the play was over the cast andsome friends went to a cdilf toenjoy themselves and to get toknow the natives of this Gael-tacht.

After the cdilf the cast re-turned to the shack in whichthey were staying for a sing-songwith Niocl~s Toib[n, the Irishtraditional singer, who showed offhis range of Irish and Englishsongs to an interested but tiredaudience.

Stop PressIn a surprise result the Golf

team beat U.C.D. in the annualColours match at Portmarnock onTuesday. Playing without Secre-tary Alastair Bond, who was in-jured, Trinity won 6½ matches to5½. Best performance of the daycame from the Captain, Jeremy"Pilch, who beat Irish internationalE. O’Brien.

No. 15

ON April 21st the "Irish Times" published a report in theirUniversity column concerning "Trinity News" and an English

advertising agency, Achievement Publicity Ltd. This report statedthat an agreement had been signed by the Chairman which meantthat the agency took over the running of national advertising in"Trinity News." In fact no such contract has been signed. Never-theless the substance of the report was correct. " Trinity News"feels that, since the " Irish Times" chose to reveal the negotiationsbefore they were completed, the reason why such an arrangement isnecessary should now be made clear to all our readers.

Each issue of this paper costs between £75-£110 to produce. Salesamount to about £15 a week, leaving a balance of well over £50 tobe settled. In the past it has been possible for " Trinity News" tomore than cover these expenses through the advertising it received.However, in the past year it has become increasingly apparent to allconcerned with University publications, that large firms are moreand more reluctant to advertise in student papers. This trend is moreobvious in Ireland than Great Britain. In this country nationaladvertisers prefer the glamour of an. exhibition, or grant to a Collegefund, or sponsorship of a national event to small-scale advertising forwhich there is no visible return. In other words, canvassers are morelikely to secure a £500 investment than a £5 advert.

As a result our advertising revenue has slumped considerably. If"Trinity News¯’’ is to continue as an independent newspaper it has tocontinue to sell advertising space. In this specialised and professionalage the independent and amateur advertising efforts of our hard-pressed staff receive short shi~ at the hands of full-time agencies.Thus, when approached by Achievement Publicity, "Trinity News"had little option but to accept what was offered.

The terms of the agreement involve no loss of independence what-soever. "Trinity News " will continue to be responsible for localIrish advertising. We hope all sides will benefit as a result.

Those females in Trinity who look to Martyn Lewis as the logicalsuccessor to Emily Pan khurst would do well to sneak a look at theSuggestion Book in the Hist. Conversation Room. To satisfy theless adventurous, the Editor recently extracted the following efforts,all of which were signed by Mr. Lewis.

15/2/’65. "... A bar be set up before debates . . . so thatmembers may have the chance to voice their views while in a stateof intoxication."

26/2/’65. "... that members be requested to refrain from usingthe Conversation Room unless the lights have been. fused."

4/4/’65. "Thai~ this Honourable Society has shown a remarkablelack of initiative in failing to extend its influence into. the realms ofouter space."

Mr. Lewis’s entries into the Conversation Book reflect the basicfrivolity of the current campaign on behalf of Trinity females. Untilwomen are to be seen battering on the doors of the debating room inthe G.M.B. in order to gain admittance and status fewpeople will beconvinced there is any deep feeling amongst our fellow womenstudents to achieve this " emancipation."

TURN left at Kilmacanogue, slam the M.G. up the Long Hill, and,providing you don’t go off the road at any of the four hump-

backed bridges en route, you will arrive at Roundwood. It boasts thatit is the highest village in Ireland. It also has about the highest pub/population ratio. (The figures are 791 feet and 1:8 respectively.) Ofthese numerous pubs by far the swishest is the WICKLOW HILLSHOTEL: a 22/6 dinner, and very tolerable wine list, with folk singingon Saturdays thrown in. In winter a dinner dance and log fire replacethe ballads. One of the best country pubs within 25 miles of Dublin,and it’s so close to all those romantic Wicklow lakes . . .

Teacher’s TrekAfter a lengthy alcoholic

softening-up the editor poppedthe question. Having gulliblyfailed to smell this so patentlyobvious rat, I found myself bulliedinto the rashest of promises. Hewho hesitated was lost, and thus,the moral behind this singularlysad saga is: Never ever, on anyaccount, under any circumstances,volunteer for anything.

Hence my appearance in Belfaston a grim, granitey morning. Theone thing I had anticipated withthe faintest modicum of pleasurewas Telefis Eireann stardom andthe ravishing beauty of theBelfast Dairy Queen at the start.However, the chauffeur-drivencar lost the way and with it wentany chance of bathing in reflectedglory. Moreover, any hope ofvictory was foregone as we be-came irretrievably entangled inthe maze that is Belfast suburbia.After eventual extrication fromreligious posters, slum hinterland,football stadia, and the " Re-member 1690’s," there was adeficit of 2½ hours and 10 milesto claw back.

It was then that your man onthe walk made his break for fame

leaving James Brown and AndrewAllen strolling easily in the ruck.Glucosed to the eye-lids, feetsuffused in surgical spirit, the BigTrot now began. But this un-precedented athletic alacrity wasshort-lived, and that first por-tentous embryonic blister em-bedded itself into my heel, as thedisintegration of the pink bed-socks began.

The road between Bamberghand Newry was the biggest heart-break. Here an attempt to foolmyself into latent masochismq u i t e misfired. Self-inflictedtorture just isn’t my idea ofheaven. Whac masochists getfrom life beats me. After sixhours’ slog, those lying, deceiv-ing, disheartening s,gn - postsshowed me that Dublin, dear,dirty, darlin’ Dublin, and dolcedomum were still inconceivably80 miles away. Theoretically thelong trek through the bucolicbeauty of County Down soundsjust what the doctor ordered forsomeone q u i t e so sybaritic.However, herein lies a fearfulirony. For the further I limped,the more my lungs became per-vaded with carbon monoxide and

the more agonised my feet.Then came the epic haul up

Newry hill and once more faceto face with that smug, super-nourished, supercilious Tiger ofEsso fame, leering out-of thedusk. Despite the tigerish scornfor such misplaced heroics, on-ward marched our little martyr,to derisive hoots from the youthof Northern Ireland.

Three blisters later, the Borderloomed ahead, and with it lesschance of making Dundalk thanthe camel ever had of gettingthrough the eye of that needle.Having heard lurid stores of thewolf and I.R.A. infested forests,the speed was raised to a modest1½ m.p.h.

At long last the lights ofDundalk twinkled through thedarkness. If ever there was amirage this was it. The furtheryou went the further those lightsreceded. This process continuedfor four miles and two hoursuntil, thanks to pacers Angus andWormell, Dundalk finally materi-alised and the end of the roadfor your crippled correspondent.Thank God for automation.

LETTERS

Sir,--I have gathered from therather wandering and vaguearticle by Des. Hickey called"Censorship" that he believesthat a good film magazine fromTrinity will help to alleviate oreven solve the present censorshiptroubles of the Irish cinema.There are few worthier causes towhich we could set outselves butI suggest that there is a questionthat Mr. Hickey has not eventhought upon; do we not seegood films because of censorship(" Vivre Sa Vie," amongst others,was censored in London anyway)or do they fail to appear becauseof a lack of initiative on the partof the cinema managers, who willonly accept what the big dis-tributors spoon-feed them? Howmany of the good films that wedo not see are banned, and howmany have not come up beforethe Board ?

But this possibility is askingunnecessary questions, as is muchof Mr. Hickey’s article, for theFine Arts and the Acedemy havealready shown the way aroundthe Censorship Board--a Boardthhat I do not think will be beatenopenly for a very long time; it ispart of the Irish character and theIrish Church system. At presentthe Fine Arts is only open onsome Sundays (thank goodness,or there would be even lesstheatre) and the Academy istotally unexploited since it isonly showing banned films, whichare not necessarily good--thatpretentious joke thing " TheVictors" being a prime example

of this. What is wanted, and itshould not be too difficult toachieve if there is any real in-terest, is a cinema run as a club,that will show good films and willwork on a repertoire system.Who runs this does not matterso long as they think properlyabout what they are doing. TheIrish Film Society is an obviousbody to do so, but knowing howscarce money seems to be, therewill probably have to be apatronisingindividual. If it didn’tmean losing the Funnies, I wouldalmost suggest t h a t ClassicCinemas run their Grafton as theyrun most of their English chainof cinemas.

More important than this, Mr.Hickey is putting the proverbialcart before the horse; how cana magazine attain high criticalstandards when there are no highstandard films bein2 shown intoto or at all? Our object mustbe to have the good films shownand then to comment on them.This always assumes that thereis a ready audience to see thefilms (at least one of hisexamples, "Parapluies de Cher-bourg," lacked a public inLondon) and will buy yet anothermagazine to add to the weeklypile.

A well-run club would makethe Censorship Board think abouttheir decisions, even if it did notprevent them all. It would be astart, and would be a far morepractical start than founding airyfairy magazines to criticise thingsthat do not exist.--Yours etc.,

Peter Gower.

Sir,- My motion to admitwomen to Hist. debates was notso much " interminable" as com-prehensive, systematically amend-mg the relevant laws of theSociety. Its large number ofsupporters do not regard it as" the thin edge of the wedge"and, under present circumstances,would vigorously oppose anyattempted intrusions into therights of members outside thedebating hall. The obvious super-ficiality of your remarks aboutthe extension of women’s in-fluence in College warrants littlecomment. And surely you realisethat as the Phil. is a paper-readingsociety it holds no interest forthose who are primarly interestedin debating. Furthermore, yourstatement that the Hist. has justwon the " Irish Times" debatingcompetition for the first timesince 1958 is merely another wayof revealing the number of timesthat it has been won by mixeddebating societies.

It is intolerable that womenwho enjoy full membership ofthis University should not beallowed to debate in the premierdebating society in College.Women can be just as effective indebates as men, and would helpto make the Hist. more truly aforum of Trinity opinion.Admittedly a tradition would go,and part of one more malesanctum would bite the dust, butsurely this would be for thebetter? As an ancient member ofa London club once said: " I don’tmind admitting them so long asthey can generally behave likegentlemen!" This struggle is un-dignified, wearisome, and basedon an outmoded tradition whichis hopelessly incompatible withthe social sphere to which we allbelong. Society in general hasemancipated women, but theCollege Historical Society has not.

Sir,--It is most regrettable andinexcusable that in the EasterWeek edition of " Trinity News "not a single reference was madeto the events of 49 years ago.You perhaps may think that it isbest to concentrate on what ishappening in the " new go-aheadIreland of to-day." And so it is--but surely at least one para-graph could have been devotedto the brave idealists who, onApril 24th, 1916, went forthwilling to give their lives thatIreland might be " free." Whetherwe agree with what they foughtfor is quite irrelevant, but wecan’t escape the fact that as aresult of their action "TrinityNews " is to-day being publishedin the Republic of Ireland insteadof in a United Kingdom of GreatBritain and Ireland. Enough said.

Brian P. Crotty.

Sir,--Toilets for tinkers, ColinJordan’s hatred of Jews, FiannaFail’s return to power, unem-ployment benefits at 42/6, theturnover tax and the fact thatIrish education is the poorest inEurope are all concerns ofreasonable-minded citizens of thiscountry.

All social injustices, whetherthey affect us or others, are amatter of great concern.

But it is no concern of ours "-am I to be considered part of the" T.C.D." picture? Are you?

I feel that any editor is entitledto state his views provided hestates that they are his views orthose of his editorial staff, andthat the article being sold in noway includes others to whom itmay be offensive. Merely by itsname, " T.C.D." gives to thegeneral public the impression thatits views are representative of alarge section of College. I hopethat it is not the view of a largesection of College.--Yours faith-fully,

The first great cry of defiancefrom inside Russia

Today, in Russia, the phrase ’political asylum’ has adouble meaning. Hundreds of sane but free-thinking menand women are paying for their frankness in psychiatrichospitals. The warders wear white coats, there are tele-vision sets, and maids to scrub the floors, but like thelabour camps favoured by former Soviet regimes the newasylums for the sane impose one crucial restriction: theinmates are not free to leave.

Valeriy Tarsis is a former inmate of the ’VillaKanatchikov’, an asylum in Moscow. At great personalrisk (’lunacy’, unlike lightning, can strike in the sameplace twice) Tarsis describes his experiences in a new novelcalled ’ Ward 7’. It is the most direct and outspoken pieceof protest literature to come from Communist Russia.(It was smuggled out.) At the author’s insistence it ispublished under his own name. The first of three extractsfrom ’Ward 7’ appears in The Observer this Sunday.

CRICKET

Thwaites" Stars

Too StrongMalahide well beaten

ALTHOUGH they suffered early set-backs, !. G. Thwaites’ Xaquickly took control of their game with Trinity in a damp and

windy College Park last Saturday. Trinity found a side containingeight players with experience of first-class cricket much too strong,and were beaten by 107 runs with an hour to spare.

The match began on time.despite a steady drizzle whichcontinued all morning and madefielding and bowling a difficultbusiness. So Trinity did well torestrict Thwaites’ XI to I 11 for 2before lunch. Henderson strucktwo early blows, clean-bowlingBriggs in the first over of the dayand uprooting Mordaunt not longafterwards. The patient Huttonand the stylish Fortin were sooninto their stride and both com-pleted g o o d fifties. Huttonseemed out of touch, but Fortinplayed some fine shots all roundthe wicket. The later batsmenall 10st their wickets forcing thepace, but Thwaites was able toleave Trinity a target of 205 at arun a minute. Henderson wasTrinity’s best bowler and he keptup a brisk pace to take 6 wicketsfor 74.

When Trinity batted they weresoon in trouble. Hutton tookthree quick wickets and Trinitynever really recovered from apoor start. Lane, who made awatchful 47, and Farrell (21 n.o.)were the only batsmen whoreached double figures. Theothers fell to a mixture of poorstrokes and fine catches, andTrinity were all out for 97 at 5.45.

Scores:Thwaites’ XI--204 for 9 dec.

(Fortin 81, Hutton 55, Henderson6 for 74).

D.U.C.C.197 (Lane 47, Hutton3 for 11, Scott 3 for 11).

On Sunday, Trinity recoveredwell in their first League matchand defeated Malahide by 40 runsin a tense finish. Trinity battedfirst and were soon in trouble.Five wickets were down for 25,but it was re-assuring to seeLabbett coming in at No. 7. Heled a fine recovery and put to-gether a patient 34. Kynaston,Murphy and Henderson followedhis example to such good effectthat Trinity were able to declareat 144 for 9.

Caprani led Malahide’s effortto get the runs, and the homeside were well in the hunt as longas he was there. But at 55 hemissed a sweep off Hendersonby a considerable margin ofdistance and time and departedfor 32. Then wickets fell atregular intervals, but Trinity hadtwo wickets to take in the lastfive minutes. This they accom-plished, but not without anxiousmoments. Henderson was againthe chief wicket-taker, with 6for 54.

Scores:

ForgottenDreams is a strong tip, but hisrun in the Grand National willhave been a strength snapper.Agincourt ran well at Fairyhouseand might beat Flying Chariot inthe 2.50. Vulgaway should be awinning favourite in the 3.30, andif Devon Breeze doesn’t win the4.55, my name isn’t Croupier.Hill House’s half brother, Ronan,stars in the 5.30, but I can’t seehim giving weight to ArcticStream and Beau Supreme. AirCommodore and Flat Spin appealin the 6.0 and if you haven’tpassed out by 6.25, Belle of NewYork looks slightly sweeter thanVulgan’s Moll.

The 1,000 Guineas looks sub-standard and so it could pay tofollow the French filly Beat It.Rose D’Or could be second bestfor Ireland and Miba looks alikely outsider.

A new era starts at Ascot onFriday with the steeplechasing.Red Tears should be the first everwinner, hard pressed by Beaper’sSon, and other Ascot winnerscould be Oesacre, Ragazzo, Com-pensation and Oncidium.

Sport inThe next big event in the Sail-

ing Club’s programme is theirtrip to West Kirby in Cheshirein ten days’ time for the WilsonTeam Trophy Races. Fireflies arethe boats used for the meeting,which is one of the main teamevents in the British Isles.

The Ramblers XI played Lepre-chauns in College Park last Thurs-day, but rain washed the game outwhen the Ramblers had 41 for 2in reply to a total of 141. Chiefwicket-takers for Trinity wereMorris (4) and Farrall (2). ButRedston also took a hand whenwith his first ball he clean bowledMcDermott who scored 63 forLeprechauns. When Ramblersbatted, Kynaston and Leaverlooked in fine fettle, but the raincame clown just as Leaver wasdismissed for a speedy 26.

Trinity’s Gaelic footballers haverecently paid a successful visit tothe North. where they played twomatches. Owen Roe were beateneasily at Coleraine, and Trinityfollowed this up by defeating thepowerful Downpatrick side by

3-7 to 3-4, possibly their best winof the season. The hurlers wereunder-strength for their gamewith U.C.G. last Saturday andwere soon 1-5 down. After half-time a re-shuffled team matchedU.C.G. point for point, but werenever able to make up for theirpoor start. For Trinity, Malone,O’Connor, Tracy and Darcy werehard-working forwards and Hunt,Connelly and Moran were staunchdefenders.

For their match against Clon-liffe Harriers and Avondale lastweek, the Athletic Club fieldedtwo strong teams. The Vice-Captain’s men won the meetingwith 54 points, hotly pursued bythe Captain’s side with 48. Thesigns are that Trinity can expecta good season. Austen ran anotable 22.6 in his 220 yards heat,and Shillington won the 880yards. Scott, too, showed goodform and has much potential bothas a sprinter and a hurdler. Itwas good to see F. Middletonagain after a long spell of injury.

The Squash Club was hoping

riefto be able to report a win in theLeague final last Friday. Unfor-tunately their opponents, Bal-donnel failed to put in an appear-ance. But Trinity have had a mostsuccessful season, winning 17 oftheir 19 matches and retainingthe Gray Cup. Colours for theseason went to W. Barr, D. Budd,I. Angus, J. Horsley and H. Mac-keown. A. Shillington wasawarded h is colours for theprevious season. Barr, Budd,Angus, R. Green and J. Gait fornext season.

John Coker, whose six and ahalf feet not only Trinity studentsbut a great many Dublinersrecognise, was born in Guinea,West Africa. He arrived onEnglish soil in 1949 and laterentered St. Peter’s, York.

Going on to greater things, hewalked through Front Gate in1961 to read Economics and toreserve a place for himself almostimmediately on the 1st XV wing,which he has retained ever since¯This first season, when he wasselected to go on tour with IrishWolfhounds, was probably hisbest season in boots. Those werealso the days when he receivedthe ball more than three timesa match in College Park, andwhen one saw the turn of speedand the fierce hand-off. Onseveral occasions Wasps haveemployed his services.

Heavyweight Coker began hisTrinity boxing career in 1962, andagain, his first season, when hewas Irish junior finalist and askedto fight for Ireland against Poland,was probably the most promising.Last season he won the Leinsterchampionship, but, unfortunately,lost it in this season’s fight withBilly Quinlan, the U.C.D. inter-national. His next fight, versusBrogan, the Irish champion, willtake place in Trinity week.

John

Coker

During the past year, John hasappeared on both film and T.V.screens last summer at Ardmorehe stood in for Ray Charles’smanager in the film " Ballad inBlue," which has been released inEngland and will soon be showingin Dublin; recently he played anAmerican sergeant at CheckpointCharlie in " The Spy That Camein from the Cold." Currently heis playing Dr. Adam Peterson inthe Telefis Eireann Monday nightserial, " The Riordans." He isalso on the short list of actors fora racial film starring SidneyPoitier to be made by the B.B.C.at Shepperton in August.

John’s most dominant quality ishis undaunted enthusiasm for anyundertaking, so much so that heoften forgets about essentials.Frankness, determination a n dcheek will always stand as theCokerian symbol of success, forJohn would not entertain failure.After throwing insults at friendsin which he revels, one generallyhears a loud guffaw of satisfactionand observes the familiar shouldershake.

Next October will see him atOxford where he hopes to do aDiploma in Economics for a yearin preparation for employmentwith Shell. Oh, and just for therecord, John’s married.

NE SPop goes the Phil

Simon Morgan flashed his smileand slick remarks at the Phil. lastThursday, when he read his paperon Beat Groups. He traced therise and development up to thepresent day of this " most verit-able Kaleidoscope of all time."In speaking to the paper, RollingStonesman Andrew Oldham sur-veyed the Pop Scene from itslofty heights. He was only ableto trace the Beat back as long ashe had been around, but had seenthe simple "1 Love You " songsof the Presley Age transformedinto the more complicated themesand the return to the basic senti-ments with the advent of theBeatles; social status songs are

now on the way in.Answering questions from the

floor, Andrew Oldham describedthe beginning of his career, " Andthe angels came down and tookme up," and the conflict he nowfeels between the artistic and thecommercial. He expressed sur-prise at the way in which popmusic was becoming a subject forthe national and intellectual news-papers, and was assuming parent-appeal. "1 got £50 for going onthe Eamonn Andrews Show,drinking the bar dry, and makinginane remarks. I’d do the samefor the Archbishop of Canter-bury."

1916-the Easter lilv./

In Grosvenor Place recentlyfour young men trooped seriouslyback and forth over a distanceof about 15 yards carrying fourbanners with the inscriptions,"The Easter lily is our nationalemblem, we will defend it"(twice), "The Easter lily willovercome police terror’sin,’ and" Hands off the Easter lily, youtraitors." Passers-by paid noattention, and when it waspointed out to a fifth youth, whoappeared to be the banner-bearers’ silent sergeant major,that the demonstration was hav-ing little impact because no onein England knew what the Easterlily was, he replied: " If that’s so,we don’t care. We’re demon-strating for them over there."

" Them over there" was theIrish Embassy.

BRIEFChanging roles

Melissa Stanford, who waschosen by the Senior and JuniorDeans to represent Trinity at thecentenary celebrations of CornellUniversity, New York State, hasjust returned to College after 12crowded days in the States. Atthe expense of the Board, sheflew to New York and attendedthe International Conference ofStudents to " Demonstrate thechanging r61e of the student in achanging world and to dramatisethe calibre of the Cornell under-graduate and his relationship withstudents of the world." Alsoinvited to Cornell were I00delegations from 70 differentcountries and the calibre of theCornell undergraduate was shownwhen Delta Gamma "rushed,""i n itiated," "pledged," "fraternitypinned " and " house mothered,"and when Sigma Phi dressed upin " weejuns," " shirts, matchingknee socks and sneakers.

Black MarketThe new " advanced booked "

Commons and the rigidity that ithas imposed has led to manyillegal booking agencies. Ticketsfor Commons, especially firstCommons, are being touted atFront Gate, exchanged in theButtery and offered at cut-pricelevels on Chapel steps. Underthe old system, none of this wasnecessary; if you wanted to go onfirst Commons, you turned upjust a little before six o’clock.Some were left over, but thoseanxious to attend evening engage-ments could be sure of a placeif they arrived in good time. Sothe result was a naturalselection. Now a rigid artificialsystem which requires advanceknowledge of a term’s commit-ments has been substituted;students with second Commonstickets are turned away whenthere are spare places on firstCommons--and anyway it makesthe Crush Hall look like a railwaystation.
