UCD Wins

Times TrophyThe final of this year’s h.ish

Times debating competition was

held last Thursday in Galway and~as won by the Literary and ltis-torical Society of UCD. The onlcTrinity representatives to reacl-t

the final were Michael Newcoinbeand Erie Lowry from the Hist.Trir, ity supporters who were thereand, indeed, many of the audience

~f three or four hmrdred, felt thatthey were unlucky no~ to have

been placed in the fh’st three, butthe judges’ decision is the onlyimportant one. Queen’s last year’s

winners, were phteed second with:mother UCD team third. Th,’motion for the final was "Tlmt th-Lights are Going Out In Europe":ind it WaS 1)erhaps the fact thatTrinity had two firm Europeans

speaking from the Hist. in favourof this motion, which resulted in asuggestion of insecurity.

Standards of judging vary re-markably and it is to be hopedlhat a team from Trinity will do

better next year.

THIRD ANNUAL

ALKTrinity’s answer to Dr. Barbara

Moore and Billy Butlin--the thirdannual Belfast to Dublin Walk--starts from Belfast City Hall, on

The Reh~gee Committee is to-

day launching a long-term fund-~uising scheme ft}lI the Save theC:]~ihlren Fun’d. Nearly eightypeople have agceed to help in thi::

sd,eme, th:,y hope to collect (;d.-a-month from :my,me with whom{’./ey regularly come into contact--eid~er at lectures or society meet-h~gs.

Ti~e Save the Children Fund ua~>~aited in 1.919 to supply milk tothe (testitut:~ in Viemm. To-day,over forty year’s after its incep-

tion the Fund is still receiving

~:dls fez’ its services and its staffis to be found all over the worhl.

]a Korea, with its four million re-fugees and one million familiesliving below subsistance level, theFund has set up six child-care

clinics, two nursery schools and achildren’s wing of the National

Tuberculosis Hospital. Even thishas only scratched the surface of

the problem. The flooding thisChristmas in Morocco forced72,000 people to leave theh- homes.

The Fund responded to an appealfm help by sending £500 worth of

tents, one thousand blankets, oneton of clothing as well as adminis-tering 5,000 doses of anti-typhoidvoceine and setting up a milk

feeding centre for young children.Ne’ner to home, children leaving

th( Dublin hospitals for homeswhere they cannot get enoughnutritious food are eared for by

the h’ish Save the Children Fun:l.These are just tluae examples ofthe work that the Fund is doing.

The refugee committee hopes thats~udents will help in this by con-t,:ibuting" sixpence a month to

heir appeal.

PRECAUTIONSAlthough it is always pleasant to learn that a visitor from

another university has formed a high opinion of TCD, favour-able comments from Dublin citizens count for much more.Trinity is a part of the scenery, the good and the bad in italike taken for granted, so that comparatively modest praisefrom a Dubliner represents a far higher compliment than theflattering impressions of the visitor.

The features the Dubliner ap-preciates most, however, are ’veryoften just those that students con>plain about, or else are direct re-sults of some .regulation or otherwhich is unpopular among the un-dergraduates. Many o f t h emotions proposed at SRC meet-ings, no matter how important anddesirable they may seem at thetime, would, if acted upon eventu-ally by the Board, damage thepr.esent good relations betweenTrinity and Dublin, relationstdleady threatened by ecclesias-tical sanetions.

The latest indications of thissituation came during WUS Week,No matter how much enterpriseand hard work went into its orga-r, isation, the scheme was evidentlynot going to be worthwhile if itwere confined to College; thegeneral public had to be involvedsomehow. After consultations withthe police and the appropriateauthorities of TCD and UCD, per-mission was granted for a marchthrough the city centre to adver-tise the Week, on an undertakingthat no money was collected in thestreet. Anything remotely sugges-live of a rag was forbidden.

Had the D.U. Branch not takenthese precautions, and acted on the

well-intentioned but rash proposals

of some of its members, its success

might have been diminished con-

siderably. Quite a number of

people praised the sober way the

campaign was .run, and confessed

that they would have been reluc-

tant to contribute otherwise. Rag

stunts, ranging as they do from

the amusing to the hare-brained

and dangerous, make it difficult

for the ’vietim’ to tell what thetrue object is. It often appears asthough the students are less con-cerned to collect money for a de-serving cause thau to indulge intheir taste for the irresponsible.

On the face of it, our public re-iations seem healthy enough atpresent. There is little aboutTrinity, however, to .endear it tothe average citizen, while a glanceat the accommodation advertise-ments in the evening papers wouMindicate an uneasiness aboutstudents in general. But far fromdiscouraging any action spurred byimagination because of a possible~eaction outside College, thetouchiness of the situation shouldencourage the kind of precautionsv:hieh WUS had the foresight totake.

PLAYERS continue to thrive intheir atroeious conditions in num-1,ors 3 and 4. Last year their suc-cess in the "Sunday Times" compe-tition could in no way be ascribedto the facilities available here inCollege. Scenery at present isactually made on the stage; the

dressing rooms are primitive; and

stage to the other behind the

scenes is made by means of a dan-

gerous lo.oking ladder and an earth

ALL SORTS of unlikely peoplehaxe bnen jumping on the WUSbandwagon since the idea of theWeek was first mooted. We wouhllike to think that they have actedon the best motives, and not simplyto get their pictures in the papers.An organisation like WUS needspeople who are willing to workaway from the glamour and publi-city, who don’t just do it "because,you see, one feels so terriblyprivileged." We look forward to avastly more dynamic WUS in the

future, helped by the selfless dedi-

cation of these people who are now

p-etting all the credit.

SALOME. PLAYERS’ THEATREThis piece of Wildeian extravaganza requires no intimate

atmosphere and little audience participation, for it is allnos~a dramatic poem. So in the compact theatre it started off witha disadvantage, but it did have the big’ advantage of being"completely new material.

Trevor Board’s direction hwkedpositive motivation, there was nosr’>se of planning which wa,~especially noticeable in his insen-rltive use of the stage.

Yet there were many goodt!,mgs about this production; wewere treated to some of Wildc’sn~c,st exotic imagery, the cos-tmnes were delightful and thelighting at times eff:.’ctive. As tothe acting; Mazgarite Hefft’sradiant Salome suffered from alimited range of emotion, whileMichael Stout’s Jokaanen neededtoning down at the climax, thoughhhs entrance was one of the bestmoments in the play. AmandaDouglas, splendid in an off theshoulder number, must learn toconcentrate and Moray Scott-Dal-gleish’s blustering Herod swungmerrily between comedy and ear-

th iness. The Dance sequencec.mld be nothing but an anti-Cimax, but ~cmained a pleasing!nterlude, as did Francis Raineys~.lting up ’carol)’ on the edge of,the couch.

It was an eccentric choice oflday and the approach work to it’,’,as not subtle; the production hada good commercial sense and was

entertaining and often interesting

even though it was not a parkicu-

htrly artistic piece of work.

If you go to "It Happened IH

Athens" expecting anything youvii1 come away disappointed, forthis is an unbelieveably bad film.The story concerns a clean shavenAmerican aecented Greek shep-l erd, who has a dream ambition toxvip. the Marathon Race in the

NORTHERN IRELAND is passionately religion-conscious.

l~olic as someone apart. Politicians,..~xtreme religious leaders such asDr. Ian Paisley of the Free Pres-

byterian Church, and the pressl.-c,,.p the issue alive.

The press is unsutisfactory. Thet,..:t paper is the evening c~.e; the"h’isi~ News," the worst is nar-r, nvly X’uionalist; and the others,

tnuugh giving free expression intheir columns are passiuwttoly pro-

Unionist (The "Xew.4etter" pub-

!ishes an Ammal Reviev: in whici~the chief contributors are the Par-]/amentary Ministers hardly un-1% sed assessments).

The same paper, fearing a un-biased investigation by the Coun-

cil of Civil Liberties, said, "i~would be better to let us settle our

own affairs." How can this bedone ? The first step is impos-Kble. The Xationalists by defini-

tion will not recognise the exist-once of the State. The fi-rst practi-

cal move theeefore must comefrom the Unionists and my sug-

gestion may soon become a neces-sity. At present the Catholic popu-lation is stable at 34.9 per cent, thehigh fertility diseounted by emi-gration and any differential inmortality. But it will increase.(43.4 per cent of the under 10’s are

R.C.) and so a loosening of thetics between the Unionists andOrange Order seems inevitable tocapture more of the Catholic votes.

But that is looking into thefuture. At present neither side seesany nee,essity to change at ,offieialbvel. The effort must come at thepersonal level through the growthof education facilities and a reali-sation that society with a member

of another religion is not a be-trayal of one’s own.

READING ROOM

Sir,--You suggest in your issue

~,J 14th inst., that anotimr pre-fabricated reading .room "is goingto imve to be put up." While any-one who has tried working underpresent conditions will agree

,, holeheartedh, that somethingmust be clone as soon as possible,

may I suggest that another hutmay not be necessary.

I wonder whether the original

Reading Room could not beahered temi)orarily to accommo-(!ate an extra floor, at a level, say,just above that of the gallery. It

would mean, of course, that thosereaders wh,,) would occupy the

(present) ground level, would beworking all the time, under artifi-cta! light. It might be necessary,

also, to devise some effeetivew, eans of sound-proofing, especi-ally if the ten’por’ary structurev",re of wooden construction.

I feel however, that such astructure would not only cost eon-siderably less than a prefabri-

(:~ted buiiding, but it vould pro-\:de _nearly twice, :ts much badly

needed accommod-tti(m, v:ith,)ut de-centra]ising students from the(,riginal reading’ room.

CAPTAIN BECHER

Dear Becher, It was not withoutinterest that I read of your precisof information received from the,’Statistical Abstract’ of the Thor-oughbred Breeders’ Association.All the stallions quoted as havinga high fertility rate are of a recentgeneration, although paradoxicallyEarathustra, the 1957 Gold Cupwinner is the oldest. Doubtless thepercentage figures will decreasein time. Hugh Lupus’ fertility rate~,f 54 per cent is somewhat discon-certing. For a clasic stallion onemight hope for a better returnnext year but I doubt whether thiswill be the case. I would think thebest chance of continuing the HughLupus male line chain to be!nrough his son Hethersett, a cour-ageous tough horse who is anexample .of hybrid vigour, his sirebeing inbred (3 x 3) to Tourbillouand his dam Bride Elect being in-bred to Blandford (4 x 5). Thistype of mating -- Tourbillon linesire on Bhmdford line mare--brings together very potent influ-ences combining top class Frenchand English strains. So, in answerto your searching questi~on, I wouidsuggest that a breeder with alarge capital might well risk send-ing his mare to H~gh Lupus,espeeially if lie is not over-auxious for a rapid return on in-vestment. Better still, if the mareis inbred to a desirable stallion,wait till Hethersett goes to stud.--Yours etc.,

Last term, a tall, somewhat ungainly Junior Sophistercalled Stephen Ryle took over the conduetorship ol; CollegeSingers. His experience as a conductor was non-existent buthis training in Westminster Cathedral choir under GeorgeMalcolm, resulting in a lasting friendship with his former con-ductor, proved an invaluable asset, and the majority of theaudience at last term’s concert felt that the singers had re-turned to the sort of standard set a few years ago under Mr.Julian Dawson.

Music must certainly be regardedas one of the major parts of STEPHEN

Stephen’s life in College for he isa very active member of the

RYLEChoral Society, having assumedthis year the doubtful privilege ofbeing Treasurer. Last term, whentlm society performed Mozart’sRequiem (he sang the bass solo inthe first student quartet to beused by Choral for some years.

Stephen’s love ,of choral music,and particularly religious music, isfed by his devout Catholicismwhich finds expression in Collegei,~ what are at times rigidly doe ....trinal and essentially orthodox,-iews. He supported the Lauren-tian Soeiety, and became for atime Treasurer of that societyalso, simply beeause he felt he hada duty as a Catholic to support the(atholie society. His Catholic edu-cation makes him as erudite asmost laymen on matters of reli-gJon. In some respects, notablywith regard to the relations withether denominations, he is veryliberal, however, and it was goodto see him having no reservationsabout conducting the Annual CarolService in College Chapel. He isdeeply concerned with the prob-!era of Christian unit?’.

Although h=~ would describe him-self as a socialist he is wary ofthose well-meaning people whocume along with carefully formu-

lated plans for the improvement ofw,rking class conditions. He seesthat it is not possible simply t~oiganise other peopl:_,’s liw,s. Hehimself succeeded in gaining aschoiz~rship to a public school,Douai, which gave him the opp-,r-tunity of coming to Trinity an:ilast year he proved his academicability by winning a foundationscholarship in Classics. lake manystudents, his education leads himto theorise about the uneducatedbut, unlike most students, herealises from his own experiencethat much of his theory eannot bepl:l into practice.

He is a character with a strongsense of humour and is ahvayswilling to work. At the beginningef this year, he found that lie was~ttempting too much, even for hisenthusiastic efforts to cope withand so the Classical Society lost itslibrarian and the Laurentian, itsTreasurer. He retains their in-terests, however, and continues tobroaden his own. Alongside hissensitive nmsieianship and devoutreligiousness goes a keen interestin all kinds of sport. Although

football captain when he was at

school, he has not played games

seriously in College but he has re-

presented his faculty on the ~a~gby

field and he follows each ball of

the Test matches with the interest

e2 the expert.

As his College career proceeds,

the shyness which inhibited him at

f~rst is beginning to disappear. He

has to be .z’amin.ded oecasionally

that his degree in Classics must

come first, but, although he would

be the first to agree, it is unlikely

that his interests or activities will

diminish. Perhaps, in his own quiet

w~y, he is likely to make more of

a mark in Trinity than many who

ntake considerably more noise.

The margin o1’ ~i~lm m ’lPo~l~l~m-oJ~ImB~,~rm~llB~1’8-5 does not really do the Trinity side’s splendid ef;ort justice ~!~ ~ ~ Itm’o.~o_.~t.~Itm’w,~�~ ~,~ ~_~for despite a lay-off of over six weeks they completely out--played their visitors and showedagainst Cambridge was no flash

For the opening minutes both

sides played scrappily and passes

were dropped, ldcks were sliced and

the tacMing was half-hearted.

THnity, who are notoriously weak

wlmnever the ball is loose, dislikedthese conditions and the Nm’-therners went into an early leadwhen Coker failed to fieM a highkick and one of the three quartersfell on the ball as it bounced be-hind the Trinity line. When thist)y was converted Trinity sud-denly found themselves five pointsdown and looking as ragged asBielenberg’s torn shirt.

Sl~lend6d Rugby

This score must have broughtthem to their senses as theytightened up their game andplayed splendid .rugby from thenon. Trinity virtually gained a com-plete monopoly of possession frontthe line-.outs whe~,e Bourke andBielenberg jumped extremely well.All the backs, Rees, Read, Sigginsond Hearn looked dangerous oncetLey started to run and it wasonly good tackling and covering bytl-e visitors that stopped Trinityfrom scoring more than once be-fore half-time. Siggins made agood outside break t.o send Hearn(vet near the posts and Reesadded the extra points.

The second-half was ltlayedalmost exclusively in the N.I.F.C.Calf. Never the less N.I.F.C. some-how held out for twenty minntesbefore conceding the lead and itwas a superb Read drop goal from

that the fornl they displayedin the pan.

thirtyfive yards that started thescoring spree. Read scored again afew minu{es later when he andI¢ves fooled the detente with abeautifuly executed scissors move->sent behind the serum. Rees’ re-verse passes were one of thefeatures of the afternoon’s playand show how well these two havecome to understand each other.

Caldicott Scores

Ten minutes later Read cut in-s;ide following a line-out and sentSiggins away. Fortunately Caldi-cott was well up at his side asthe fullback caught him so thatthe No. 8 was able to touch down.Rees again converted to make thescore 16-5.

The whole of the serum had avery satisfactory match especiallyBourke, who was very prominentin the loose, making several goodruns to link up with the three-qaarters. He was unlucky to havea touch-down following a line~ou:(Usallowed.

Coker found the isolation andcold on the wing all too much, andv:as unusually quiet doing someextraordinarily puzzling things onthe few occasions he did get the1,all.

If the team continue playing in~is rich vein then Martin Rees’h’~pes for the cup matches laterthis season could be realised. The~’kie is really playing great co-ordinated rugby now that he hasgained his old confidence and one(an only hope that injuries donol mar the sides’ chances.

Badminton League SuccessesOn completing its league pro-

grame, the 1st team have con]-

piled 34 pts. in the Senior League

Division 1, out of a maxinmm 64

pts.--a dramatic improvement on

2t) pts. last year. This firmlyestablishes out’ first team as thethird best in Leinster below Ailes-bray and Pembroke. We reckonthat few other College sports canb,mst such a rec.ord. Incidentally,statistics show that Badminton isthe third most popular sportr, umeriealiy, in the country. Be-

sides this, the 1st team has reachedth,., finals of the All-IrelandJunior Cup and are awaiting ancl:;ponent from the other half.

The second team has shownrqxed form, indicating on occas-isions that reserve players are I

for the first team. TheIavailable3El team were ahnost at the topof their section in the League andcould have done much better ifthey had avoided some surprisingdefeats in the early matches. This

is probably due to the necessaryz e forming of teams each year.

To complete a most successfulseason, we hope to win both the,o]ours match and the Triangular~:-atch--emphasising our dominancein the last 4 years. The Triangular?[atch will take place on Friday:q:,d Saturday 22nd and 23rd Feb-~:w.ry in the Gym.

The first Inter-Varsity match since 1937 resulted in a con-elusive win for Trinity. Chief rivals for the honours, U.C.D.could not match the strength of a Trinity team which hasdeveloped this term into a solid side with considerable depth.

$Both Triuity and U.C.D. fielded

teams most of whose members ran

i:t the colours match last year,

which ended in a tie, and on paper

beth sides seemed fairly well

matched. But within the first mile

Trinity made it clear that they

would not be content with halfraeasures this year. Running inpairs, Trinity took leading posi-trons packing so soundly and effi-ciently that all six scoring runnerscame in the first nine places. Onlytwo U.C.D. runners came in thefirst nine places. Only twoI’.C.D. runners came in the firstten. Cork and Galway, outclassedby the more experienced Dublinclubs, were left to fight it out for:;rd place.

Individual honours, howeverwent to U.C.D.J. Hickey ran ex-trem.ely well, beating off con-tinued attacks by Steve Whittome¯ rod Anthony Shillington. Thesethree runners struggled fro’ thelead throughout the race. Whit-tome was forced to drop back nearthe end owing to stomach cramp,having Shillington to fight it outwith Hickey. But Hickey, pr.o-duced a powerful finish which puthim fourteen seconds ahead of5;hillington, in at time of 32 rains.54.5 sees.

Instead Trinityhave been offered the alternativeof playing in a curtain-raiser be-fore the final, and the committee’sdecision cannot be reconsideredhOW for four years.

Some consolation to the club hasbeen the selection of Kevin Coffeyt() the h’ish Universities’ side tomeet Kerry at Croke Park, onMarch 24th.

The Address to the Cmnmeree

~nd Economics Society, lastFriday in the Regent House, by theRt. Hen. W. F. Deedes, ~l.r., didnot satisfy many people’s expec-tations. Everyone seemed toimagine that Mr. Deedes would in-form the meeting about the BritisilG,;vernment’s immediate intentionconcerning her position with res--peel to the Cornea Market. iiow-ever, it could hardly have been ex-£.eeted that Mr. Deedes woui.l ovceuld divulge the confidences ofthe British Cabinet, on a topicwhich is still very much sub judice.

Senator Ross mentioned this de-feet in Mr. Deedes’ Address andsaid that this was in fact whateveryone wanted to know--whatwas Britain going to do now, inthe light of the breakdown of theBrussels’ negotiations ’.’ He feltthat in this new situation, it isnow pointless for Ireland to pursueher aplication for full membershipof O.E.E.C.

The Indian Charg6 d’Affaires,Mrl Singh, posed the question of

v. hether it was essential for ~,he

L nited Kingdom to go into theJ~:.E.C. He considered, that pro-vided that political cohesion coui~,ix~ maintained within O.E.E.C., tlxe~~~e~e was no reason why th(

[r, ited Kingdom should not sha>i:.

Mr. Garrett Fitzgerald emph::sJsed that there was still a possi-bility of h’eland being a.dmitted tt,O.E.E.C. even in the present ch’eumstances. He regarded the alley-native to membership of O.E.E.Cfor Irehmd, as being stagnation be-l.h:d tariff walls.

The Laurentian Society cele-bvat.ed its tenth anniversary with:, public meeting last Friday.ihose who packed the G3IB, winerewarded by three excellen:.q,eecnes on the subject of "TheChristian in Society." Professor J.M. Cameron spoke cautiously of~ne d,storted values of westerncivilisation, and of the individualcitizen’s moral duty to refuse tot:’wtimpate in an unjust war,,,specially under modern condi-trans. Mr. Norman St. John-Stevas.~ barrister, succeeded in makingrids grave choice seem less clear-

u% and proceeded to belie his Con-servative allegiance by giving anextremely liberal view of the re-i,tionship between morality andthe Law. He pursued the themetimt it was not the Law’s functiont.~ impose any moral system, andconcluded that even acts whichv:ight jeopardise the Common Goodshould if possible not be prohibitedby law. Both speakers prefacedtheir remarks with references totl~e Oeeumenical Movement, we!-coming the movement towardsgenuine renewal and reformamong practising Christians.

Dr. David Thornley, Lecturer illPalitieal Science gave a brilliantmM occasionally outrageous surveycf the state of modern Irish-;ociety.
