Staff

More Tutorials

ONCE again the Trinity lecture system has come into thenews, but refreshingly the initiative this time has been

taken by a group of ¯young lecturers. They are questioning notjust the compulsory lecture regulations that are considered tobe pointless and inefficient but also the exaggerated importancethat the class system is given in Colleoe.

Some of the junior lectureiswere undergraduates at Oxfordwhere the tutorial is the mainn:edinm of instruction and whichh-, their opinion is vastly superi,orto the method of relying solely onlectures. They want to see a closerstudent-lecturer relationship forone thing, as this is almost non-existant in Trinity at presentSecondly the tutorial means thatthe student has to think for him-self, to work, to prepare weeklypapers and generally take theinitiative in reading his course.I./eeturers would be voluntary andonly to construct a skeleton for thecourse and to study one or twospecial sections of it.

The problems in the way ofhaving a tutorial system are many,:~,,t the least of which is the costFm in order to have such personalt~A~ention the staff of the collegewould have to be considerably in-creased. This is thought to be a stepi:: the right direction, and we can

only hope that it will not be the last.

TRINITY’s biggest politicalmeeting of the year takes

place tonight. The DebatingHall in the GMB should bepacked out when John Bardon,final year History student,delivers his paper " Ireland:49 years of stagnation." ThePhil is bringing 5 politiciansfrom North and South toanswer his questions.

First speaker will be CharlesBrett, the chairman of the N.I.Labour -party, and a T.V. person-allty. The leader of the IristnLabour party, Brendan Cmish, T.D.,will provide quite a contrast.

The government will be repres-ented by Erskine B. Childers,Minister of Transport attd Power,and the Fine Gael party by Olivet’Hanagan, T.D., famous fo.r hisawkward questions in the Daft. TheN.I. union and labour leader, SamNapier completes the platform.With sucit a mixture the s!dn andfur should fly tonight.

We asked Phil Secretary BrianGlass about wonlen and the Phi!."They ace welcome at all ourmeetings," he said. "In 1953 th~~

Phil. passed a motion admittinvwomen as members, but this didnot meet with the Board’s approva!then. For the last 9 years theyhave bee]l welcome to speak at out’meetings, just as male visitors al’e,but only about two or three a yearhave spoken." He thought that, ifattendance topped 200 tonight,there wonld be about 60 wommpresent.

THE WORLD

OUTSIDETHE ESSENCE oOf any university is that it should be

outwm’d-looking. In spite of cries from the staider

members of the public about student immaturity andextremism -- which cannot be .denied -- we, as students, arelooked to to provide a lead in some measure. Dr. MichaelGrant, Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s, emphasised this point lasCweek in reference to the press-ban ballyhoo which convulsedthat university recently.

Why then, in Trinity, is there such a preoccupation withourselves? The eonnnunity spirit in College is, perhaps, oneof the closest-knit in any university in these islands -- thankslargely to the campus atmosphere afforded by our topography.But the benefits of this atmosphere are in danger of being’undermined by the pernicious influence of insularity whichseems to be creeping in more and more every day. It hasnothing to do with Town and Gown. It has nothing to dowith Catholic and Protestant. It has nothing to .do withEnglish and Irish.

It has to do with our preoccupation with who is Professm’of what (listen on Commons any night), what Dr. MeD .........said and our overdone concern with the affairs of theconmmnity in which we live. To begin with, how nmeh ’do weknow about our most closely comparable institutions, theother universities -- even U.C.D.? Fat" too little, we wouldsuggest. It is a most eomn~endable thing to contemplate one’snavel on occasions. The danger is that one’s neck will seizeup in that positron.

Univermty should be a starting-point, a basic training forliving. It cannot start to .do its work properly until we breakout of the comparatively narrow world bounded by the greenrailings of our tight little, right little College.

WOMEN

IN COLLEGE

In this article, the Auditor of theHist. answers D. R. D. Hutchinson’sarguments in last week’s issue aboutadmission of women to the Society.

A Reply

]N his article last week, M1. Hutehison takes it upon himseit

to advocate legislation within the College Historical Soeiet:,-

to permit the admission of women to .debates. Admittedly, it

is steadily becoming more fashionable for those outside the

Hist., or those who do not play an active part in its meetings,

to advocate the admission of women. It is not immediately

dear to me why the Hist. is regarded as a servant of the

College, existing to fit in with what students in general want

rather than with its members’ wishes. Mr. Hutehison claimsthat women want to debate. The Hist. is not preventing them.The Elizabethan Society exists for then’, and if, as last week’?.

article stated, all-female debates could not be considered as aserious proposition, let the Eliz. admit men and organise aweekly debate. Surely it cannot be that women in College wantto keep one society all female? This would be most ineon-siderate and selfish.

ill his m-norance of facts, Mr.Hutchison makes an unfortmmtecomparison between Trinity andEdinburgh where he says thereexists a society comparable ~o theHist., the Speculative Society, butalso where there is a mixed union.The Speculative Society is agraduates’ club with very limitedmembership (less than 100) whichholds debates for the benefit of itsmembers. Apart from these detail~the similarity is complete. I would

LETTER24th November, 1962.

Dear Sir,Mr. J. B. Houston is quite right

to be concerned about the dangm’sinherent in the Official Secrets Bill,but in practice i~ is not easy toprotect both the community andthe individual.

I was present in the Senate fro’the second reading of the Bill on14th November. Six members spokeincluding Senator Stanford. How-ever as the Minister for Justi"esaid, this is % Committee Bili,"and I preferred to hold my fire forthe Committee Stage (on 28thNovember) for which I. like Sen-ator Stanford, have set down mvamendments.

The old m’gument of misogynyoccurred again in the article and lshould have thgught by now it hadlost its sting (if it ever had any).Members of the Hist. are not anti-feminist; most indeed are membersof several mixed societies inCollege. But it is true tkat theylike the idea of having one all-malehaunt whither they can retire whe~lhey wish, and why should they not¯ retain it if the?, so choose’:

Mr. Hutchison’s true moth-es at.hinted at near tl~e end of his articl,.v:hen he sets out his plans :,.ndsuggests an open debati~g eoml)e-tition to decide competitors in the"Irish Times" tom nameilt. Thiswould presumably be sponsored bythe S.R.C. and, whilst the ideait~;clf is a very f:dr c!’e, ti~,’~S.R.C.’s interference would take us,me step nearer (Le Union whichthe article dain:s to deplore.

Consciously

or unconsciously, Mr. Hutchise.apl)ears to be arguing with t!~es,~emls in view.

I have always m;,intain, d ~h;’there is a place in Trinity f~r amixed dchaCing society, i r~:fu.~eto accept, however, that its exist-,.~ce ,’ai, b( ,,nly within th,., Hi>:.If the me> in College \van~ t(:SUpport a society which excludes.’:omen, it" they feel that there isin such a so(’ivb- a difference whi.!tit is worth preserxinK, it is surel5-wrong to try t,, force their hat:d!,y me:ms of arli(.bs and circular<.A mixed dehatin~ society shou lb(. stunted a!ong.qde the Hist. :m,!’.,h,:,i~ it achieves the success whic!~those in favour (,f mixed debatinvmust forecas~ for it, the Hist., i~their view, will be-’cm:e defunct an(1this other society wiil take over.I~ the meantime, it is not surpri.<-ins, and it is surely righ*, that theHist. should continue to i~nore theattacks being made on it. The HisLis, whether Mr. Hutchison likes ito,’ not, an all-male society by it<\erv nature, and to introducewomen would not demand w.ereminor constitutional changes. I:would involve the abolition of vl~epresent society and the foundh~g ofa new debatingosoeiety which might,perhaps, bear the name of CoAe-,.,Historical Society but whose r~-semblance would go no further.

One final point I should like t,,make. Mr. Hutchison states thathe would wish to see women asdebating members only. I beiie\-~:i: is iml)ossible to go half way. Ayear ago, the Oyford Union wantedt(, admit women as debaters, Nowthey are in the process of ad’mitdn;them as full members. ’fh,~ su;;~,v.ould happen in the Hist. indeed,it’ one is ill faxour of \v,)?nen :,adebaters, it is only logical dta~they should be fu!l membe_,m Ifthey are word~y of t~:e ,w ;: >impossible to deny ti~en._ the edge:.If Mr. Hutchison regard-: the HisLas having insulted women by in-xlting tbem to watch the Inaugural

ou television, his insult v,oukl beso much greater if he tried t,, ~zo~,hadf way in the matter of ge~:er~:la(lmission.

Tile arguments against \vc~?~e~_~ ;uthe Society are not based e!;dr~:[).on tra.dition. Logic and r;as ,:~SUl)port the case also. One ;vonde"s.in adlition, how far these infavour of gaining a(li??i:;,:i,m 1,<’

His utterance is an exceedingly directone. He always aims at simplicity and

lucidity. He wants his music to be clear, butI dan’t think it necessarily follows thathis mind or sensibility is a simple one.

Benjamin Britten’s " Noyes Fludde"was performed in College just beforethe beginning of term. His "St.Nicolas " has already been heard onrecord in the Gramophone Society,and next Tuesday the Choral Societyare to give a live rendering of thesame work. We print here an exclusiveinterview, obtained during the summerby Colin Smythe of " Trinity News,"with Peter Pears, the distinguishedtenor and close friend and interpreter

of Britten.

PEIRS

OHSir, when did you start

singing?

I had my first sino-ing lesson i~:19,’,’0 when I ~as twenty. I did my

first concert w:th Britten in 1935and l,’ve been singinK ever since.

Which ()f Britten’s works haveyou enjoyrd singing in most?

It’s very difficult t,) answer tl:ut.

When Britten is askc.l what is hisfavourh~ work, he’s always incline:{

to say "the latest, the youngest,"and I am rather inclined to say thelast thing that I have worked onwith him. Each new thing has

its new fascinations, but "Pete:’Grimes." is st:ll one of my favour-

ites.

You have had a very busy

summer this year. How much timedo you get for relaxation?

I have a certain amount of timefor holidays, but it’s not very easyto keep then: clear. I get bookedup lather far ahead for certain

crue!a] dates, Christnms, Easter

time for Passions, and so on and

it’s very difficult to get a goodlength for u holiday. This summerI am not having nearly enough, but

I propose to have some in thewinter. I’m going to Greece inJanuary, come what may.

How many of Britten’s works

are commissioned?It’s a little difficult to say. Quite

a number have been actually com-

missioned in the sense that theyhave l;een paid for; quite a numberof other ones have been written for

special occasions and havu not beet:paid for. At present he tends to;:rite his smaller works fo: first

l~evformanees at Aldeburgh, andhas done this for the last ten o:cfifteen years. "Peter Grimes" was

in fact a commission fro::: th,~

l(oussevitzky Foundation and notwritten for any particuhtr oecasioi:

until it was picked up by JoanCross for the opening of Sadlers

Wells it: 1945. There are a numberof works like that. Britten enjgyswriting for particular ehcun:stan-ces, but has not so very of tel:

vritten for actual commissions."St. Nicolas" is a ease in point.

Does he ever sit down andwrite for the sheer joy of doingso?

Yes, one of the things he eom-

Fhdns about in a busy life is thathe neve:’ h :s t:me to wr:te the "oddpieces" as he calls them: pie:es

that suddenly come into his mind.such as a song, the small mehes-

tral piece, a part song or some-thing like that. He is ahvays wili-ing an.d likes to write for an occas-ion. He has just finished a very,very simple anthem for the Cen-

tena:y of his prep. school, which isa setting of Psahn 150. The firstperformance was in fact on Sun-

day 29th July. He wrote it for aiithe forces they had, fifty or sixtysmall boys under the age of four-tea,n, various recorders, a :tun:pet

tllld an organ.

How hmg does it take him to

wrile a work of average length?

It varies a great deal. "NoyesFiuddm" for instance, didnt taketoo tong -- about th:’ee or fmwmonths. On the other hand, "AMidsumn:er Night’s Drean:" to,q{

about fifteen months’ pretty con-sistent work. The "War Requiem’"t~ol: between a year and fifteeu

lilonths, r caTl’t l’elnon]ber how lo~:,z

"Pete:’ Grimes" took¯ It v.as talked:¢~sut \cry early on--at least tv.oyears before it \\’as l~er%rmed,

maybe three. The s::a]l songs

n:ight take only a day, but theyc,.,uld take longer. I know tile

J~oTllle SOIUIPtS were written in

s.met]ling like a fortnight, after

lw had conte back from the eon-centlation Caml)S in 1!)45 and hada high fever from a delayed innoc-ulation. Friday Afternmms werebefore my time.

How would you describe th’it-

ten’s nt usic ?

His utter’race is an exceedhlgl.vdirect one. He always ain:s at sin:-

plicity and lucidity. He wants hismusic to be cleat’, but 1 don’t thinkit ne?essarily folh)ws that his min,I

or sensibility is a simple one.However it does nleall that theeft’cot or impression is very often

a straight one.

Did he choose the "Songs from

the Chinese" because of theirsire plicit y ?

Are they so simple? Tile), aresubtle, I think. If you are going toattempt some SOllgS of that nattt:’e

for voice and guitar, you wantpoems of a slightly epigrantmaticnature. You don’t want anything

too grand or developed.

How does Britten choose hisLibretti?

Mally col::e tO hhn in the post,};tlt llo;te o, re chosen. He reads, and

b]’owses it:, large t{uantities ofverse, and takes a lot of troubleto tirol the tight poem. Operalihrettos are worked on from thevery first idea of the story.

Re iew PLAY"

,’THE FIRERAISERS" PLAYERS

By Max Frisch. Pla~ier’s Theatre. Director: Michael Ruggins." The Fireraisers, as a piece of theatre, raises one or two

pregnant questionsin a faith, acute form. The n:ost obviousone, quite sin:ply, is whether or not the stag’e is the place forpohtmal allegory. The Flreralsers could ~ot be more crass.sections of the play have " Munich " or " the eonten:porarystate of German public life" written all over them in largeblack letters.

Yet the piec~ can hold the atten-

tion of an audience in a way one

does not expe:.t from a n:ere read-

big of it, and for reasons that are

not immediately .obvious.

The play takes plttce in the houseof Gottlieb Biede:’mann, a wealthy

industrialist. It opens with Bieder-lllalln’s reading in the newspaper

of yet another fire started by ag-ang of arsonists. His reaction, tit~-

stock "they ouglnt to be strung up, ’is as far as he will go to a solution

of the problei::; it is enough to bec,,nsci(,us that things are hapl)en-ing. He £ives shelte:" to a tramp,quicl:ly joined b3 anoth:~r, who

sleep in his attic. The play itself&’als with tracing his rapidlygr(,wing teal:sat:on that they then:-

s-eh-es are fir(:raisers, and his totalinability to d2a| with the situation.His final despairing effort is lo

invite the fireraisers to .dinner, inthe hope that by making friendswith then:, he >’ill avert catas-t:uphe. The play proper (there isalso an ’afterpi~ce’) et,ds with the

flames licking round Biedermannand his wife.

To put over a play like this with

any degree of success is a formid-able test of directoral skill; "TheFireraisers" could very easily

d~generate into dull portentousness.Mike Ruggins production has theessential wit the play needs, thekind of wit which conveys itself it:

gesture and movement as well asin intonation and facial expression"it also has a feeling for th:, play’spretty tenuous hun:an content

which c(,ul(I, easily have bee::n:issed by a less talented director.Mr. Ruggins has turned what could

have been a disaster into a vet’)"])ositi\’e success, which no one withany sense \\’ill n:iss the opportunity

of feet:no for hin:self. (If fornothing else, for the fire and smokeeffects at the end of the firstsection). Excellent set, good per-forn:anees froll: everyone- Alu][t-

belie Brady, Tony Weale, Ralph

Bates and Konstantin d:_~ Gogueileadin.~ the field. Highly recom-

mended. W.bI.O.

-TERM: OF TRIAL" ADELPHI

THIS film must be recommended, if the strength of theacting perforn:ances atone. Laur~nce°n Oiivier plays with

perfect feeling For every nuance the part of a grammnr-schooln:aster in an English industrial town, a man who lives sincerelyfor his mission to rescue at least a few el his pupils from themoral deo’radation el: their background -- his is a stt~ggleagainst the indifi’erence and neglect of parents, sometimesphysical resistance from a semi-delinquent class, his wife’scontagious lack of faith in him, and finally the ineomprehensionof official society.

He loves his wife ( SimoneSignoret) above all, but he is forher a nothing, whose idealism isp. mere escape from r:~sponsibility,

and particularly his responsibilityto save her from boredom and sol-itude. In fact, it is she who isnothing. Sarah Miles -dso gives anexcellent performance as theschoolgirl who falls in love with

h’w teacher, throws herself at him,and tries to punish his unrespon-siwmess by accusin~ him of in-decent assault.

Obvim~sly these situations an’l

characters contain great possibility,yet the film as a whole fails tosatisfy, mainly because of a failureto distinguish between ram drama

and n:e]odrama. In the final scenethe teacher saves hin:self f:’,m:

desertion by his wife throuo’h a

piece of psychological sleight-of-

hand highly untypical of him. All

II IS characteristic of Robert Hunter that. when told he wasabout to be profiled, he should l:eact with a mixture of

reticence charged with momentary despair. He sensed it wouldbe an impossible task. He suggested that the emphasis shouldrest upon an analysis of his ideas and college activities -- butwhat a man thinks and has done is no more than an indicationof what he is.

There is ahvays the danger tl~a~a p.rofile will tell us nothing morethan what college societies he hasrun and what a fine fellow he is.Fascinated by people and sym-pathetic to variety, he is perhapsthe best known student figure inCollege. In this he has the ahnostunfair advantage of longevity:being a postgraduate studentRobert is now in his sixth consec-utive year at Trinity. Of morereal significance, is a genuinecapaeity for ereating friendshipwhere little torero.on ground for itseems to exist; for he explicitlyrejects the pretentiousness of thephrase "he does not suffer foolsgladly"; he "suffers" all and us-ually does it " gladly."

In pinpointing essentials of apersonality one is lmund to doviolence t,o someone’s image of it.However, ahnost all would associatehim with being an accomplishedpublic speaker, a committee manpar excellence and a conscientiousholder of once. Amongst the latterhave been Secretary of Scholarsand the multifarious ex-oNeio postsassociated with it, Treasurer andHen. Member of the HistorySociety and a founder member ofthe review "Apex" in 1961. Anuncontrolled inability to compressideas, and to over-qualify them outof existence, has .occasionally madethe execution of these tasks morearduous than it need have been.

The mm’e hoary anecdotes in theHunter saga would lose nothing inthe retelling, except that the out-come would read more like a public

harmless than it sounds for it is almrt of the sincerib" and distinct-h-eness which raises him above theuselessness level of the too typicalTrinity " ehasp."

It is an unde¢’statement to saythat he remains very much of anunresolved paradox. The essenceof it is the cur.flier of a dual publicimage -- either side of it equallyvalid. His assiduity in historicallesearch implies a withdrawalwhich is incompatible with an in-stinctive drift towards ]a dolce vita.He does not pretend to find a ru.ralbackground and being at scholarmuch help where the latter is con-cerned.

But the.re is none morefully aware that this must notsprh?g from the negative urge forsecurity tht oug’h identification withthe mass. To the outsider thet-,uunds of his research topic appears,; limitless that, combined with hisown affection for the unrivalledfreedom which life at Trinityaffords, we can look forward to hisbeing around for a considerabletime to come.

DEREK MAHON e(}its and contributes tu o (,t his own poemsto this " Icarus.’ In his editorial he says he hopes the

cover will come to represent a takin/ off’ of imagination andcreativity; that the new element tm has introduced will giveedo’e to the magazine. The rest of the editorial is a turgid’discussion of awareness and the writer.

The "new element" is Michael

Dcuse’s "Marx and the Mandarins."

brilliant newcomer to its pag.;u-;;

for in his essay the awesome tur-

gidness of Marxist prose yields tothe pen of a master satirist. ’Th(re

is," he notes, "in cot~se(tuence, anobjective and inevitable logic con-cerning the revolutionary p.roeessthat makes present (lay revisionismas irrelevant as the open c,ondem-nation of conventional eclecticism."Exquisite!

Richard Eekersley puts us inmind of "La Chute." Well done,readable: but what more can besaid of this sort of thing?

With " The Fazzers " Ian Blakemixes Gelding and Murdoch t,~ pro-duce an unlikely oddity which ~’eadsa little too mu,.h like a parody, theattitudes are too exaggerated; tbeessence of ~t l)arable is its possi-

The cynicism is all-pervading."The Visitation" by W. R.

pe~ favour the heavier and tallergiv,~ ?rinity eight. How" mistaken all the

, :m~dits were! Argyle and the

hael ~r0nt-r.ow were out-nmtured in ex-T,erience and consequently the

h’o,.! hinity hooker lost fo~lr againstwhh :he loose head. In the line-outs,ixes flespit~e heroic work by Bourke, the

~l>, slipperery ball was difficult to holdand Rees often faced a loose ball

and coming back to him followed close-f-l’~ /v by some fielW U.C.D. forwards.oeL- The most blatant difference be-

b,m~ tween tbe pairs though was in theback row. Doyle, the U.C.D. open-

:~m~" side wing fm~vm’d had a tremen-d0us game and virtually eliminated

~ ~ead. as an attacking element byth,~ fierce first-time tackling. Tormey

b,, ",~as not given anywhere near themine treatment and he was allowed

V.t0 kick at will to test MacKeown0n the wings.

The little that the backs did wasimpressive, especially their hand-ling’ of the wet ball. Their main:ask on the day though was todefend and they cannot be faultedreally oi~ this count° Several time:;the U.C.D. threequarters wereretle.c! with hard tackles by Siggins;rod Hearne before they could getrid of the ball.

calnfly kicked a drop goal. Justbefore half-time Doyle picked uDa loose ball near the Trinity lineand, taking advantage of a general.reluctance to tackle him, he divedover to seore well out.

At the start of the second halfthe Trinity pack woke its ideas upand Rees and Read used theirkicking eleverly to gain ground. Aquick heel near the U.C.D. line sa~Rees throw- out a huge pass toSiggins who passed to M om’ison,and then took the return pass toscore.

Trinity, though, did not have thequality to make this the springboard for further scores. Snow didattempt to kick two long-rangepenalties but these went wide an(!short. Gradually U.C.D. took theupper hand again and Thorntonand Tormey engineered the tour)de grace when they .ran throughthe whole of a th’ed Trinity packand scored.

This was a very good U.C.D. XVand Trinity would have had to havea far better balanced side thanthey did on Saturday to hold them.Now Rees has the job of recon-structing his side for the Cupmatches at the end of the seasonto regain some of the prestige thr.tthe side has lost recently.

What a start! 3 goals in 35 min-utes, all the result of slick com-bination between the half-backsand the fomvavds. Astute use wasmade of the wingers on the treach-erous suYface so that Guthrie and’Chief’ Ntima had plenty of theball wbich they used cleverly,catching the defence on the turnand then squaring the ball backfor the eager inside trio to havea crack at goal. The first goal wasthe result of this kind of foothall-- The ball was swung over fromthe left and in the ensuingscramble there was Markham tocarefully hammer it past 3 desper-ate defenders. Trinity sm’ged aheadwith a goal h’om Horsley (in hisnew role as centre fox,vat.el) andMarkham added another with are’and shot from 20 yards.

went near and even when Orchard-ville scored, Trinity struck backinnnediately fr.om the kick-off, theball finding the net without oneof the opposition touching it in agrand move that swept from oneside of the field to the other,Horsley adding the finishing touch.Just on half-time Orchardvillethreatened again to come backwith a good goal and this threatwas realised soon afterwards whenthe centre-fo.rward scored with aheader. But Trinity were not to beoutdone and within a matter ofminutes had re-asserted their sup-eriority, the forwards coming backsh~ongly but lacking the sameability to penetrate in the thickmud tit the Nassau Street end. Thepassing was still accurate, thedefenee sound, (Pampanini, Worm-all and MeAuley had their bestgames of the season) and whenGuthrie had despaired of seeinghis colleagues fail in front of goal,he danced into the middle and .didwith ease what his partners couldnot--scored a grand ,,,oa! with hisleft foot.

In an interview the Treasurer,who is secretary to the ResearchCommittee, said that for the forth-coming year a total of abouttwenty awards had been made. Itseems that competition for thesewas of a higher standard thanusual. The Treasurer was keen toscoteh any myths and emphasisedthat science students receive nore.ore awards than their numbersentitle them to.

Nobody can claim that the grantsare handsome, and there seems tobe a tradition that researchstudents work better if they are

If you divide the population into two groups--

THE TfMES both by its seniority in experienceand by its incomparable prowess as a modernnewspaper, naturally commends itself to success-ful people. There is no high level conference, noboard meeting, no top executive’s private officeinto which THE TIMES is not apt to be taken.

Mr. Sehmi’s claim was thatthe idealogical differences betweenpeoples, threatened peace which heconsidered "the only right and t.ruedestination of the human race." Hispaper was a plea for tolerancebetween Capitalism and Socialism,a plea for supra-national Govern-ment, but above all a plea for anew spirit to be fostered by edu-eation. The aim of this new systemwas to equip mankind with thewisdom neeessary to use Seiencef.or man’s good and not his destrue-tion---’Wisdom is needed more thanknowledge. We require the discip-line of philosophy and religion tomake us work in a spirit of meek-p.ess, love and dedication.

The highlight of the evening was,however, the contrasting nature ofthe speeches by the Russian andIndian speakers. Mr. Lyubin,ov, aSecreta.ry at the Soviet Embassyin London spoke as a frank advo-cate of Socialism as providing boththe material and moral needs ofmankind.

The Indian Charg6 d’Afl’aires, inone of the finest speeches everheard in Trinity, showed us analternative. Shouldering, with mag-isterial authority, what one felttempted to call, the ’Brown Man’sBin-den,’ he showed us the trans-itory nature of all Western --" ISMS."

Ranging over the whole humansaga, speaking magnificent Englishin a voice worthy of an Archbish.op,h-s~ expressed his conviction thatman, with patience and tolerance,would out-last all ideologies, whichclaim to be the one truth.

More valuable is the attempt tosuggest ways and means of den>ocratising particular parts of theworld, from the Black North t,oSunny Spain.

Where this issue of the magazinesucveeds most is i~ givimz usRedfarn’s researches on " TheEconomic Consequences of Disarm-~m~ent." It deals with the UnitedNations report on this which wasneglected in nearly every paper,and is absent from most discussionsof the subject. Here at least in this,one article an attempt is made tobreak the conspiracy all too typicalof our society to keep the public,(yes even the intellectuals andthat means you!) ignorant. V..

The Consumer l,esearch Assoc.iathm’s investigation of Bul!’c:finds d~at thele ]s no sa±e nleklobtainable for precisely ls ll)(ithough if whiting is eaten witIi

mashed potatoes, beans and pars-nips. then these foods cost Is. 9dand cancel out each other’s ill-ieffects. But as one student tells theCRA man, there is no need to eaton Buffet in the first place; it isalways possible to cook for onesel~ir, rooms. However, this is n0!without eomplieations, as the sol~facility is the gas-ring provided,and the College meters are of fow:jMnds, according to whether the~.[were installed 10, 20, 30 or 401years ago. Despite the fact that lthe meter measures the amount ofgas used with a laudable accuracyfor the first ten years followingthe installation, the efficiencyswiftly declines after that, so thatfor the second decade it over.estimates the amount by 20);increasing this to 30E after 211years, and by a similar additional10% for each succeeding deeade.(In fact, no meters hav-e yet passed

the half-eentury mark, but it willbe interesting to se what furtheraberrations their behaviour assumeswhen they do).

Now the Agent is unwilling toentail the expense of replacingmeters. So the charges for gas ona student’s Incidentals Accountbear little relation to the amountof gas used. And in order to corn- 0,plieate any investigation of thebasis of the bills by students, he A]has arranged the foil.owing series t,hof purely arbitrary (and, incident, ll~ally, highly lucrative) surchargesto confuse the issue. All students glwith double-barrel surnames paydouble the amount read off the usmeter, but those whose surnames -_.n~lack vowels need only pay half the phamount and are exempt from all -rsurcharges. Residents from outside i~ilIreland (32 counties) pay a sur- pl,charge of 35s., and those who paid gctheir last bill unquestioningly, one o~of 20s. de

Mr. C. Fyneh-Smythe, an English-man, sees his first bill is for er£,5-7-0. The CRA man discovers ofthat the amount of gas he actually a~used could have been paid for with thtwo bank-notes. How old is his simeter? And should he ask his fi~solicitor to have the final letter a(rein.eyed from his name by deed of ~::poll, which will cost 9Os., and then alask to be re-assessed? 1~
