TRINITY’S PART INWEXFORD FESTIVAL

Most critics were in agreement whenthe Wexford Festival was reviewed: itwas an unparalleled success. And theDublin University Players had no smallshare in this.

Throughout last week the group pre-sented a " three performance daily" pro-gramme to near capacity houses, andalthough the Yeats’ plays were per-haps not as well received as they werein Edinburgh, the late-night revue,"After the Opera," proved an enormoussuccess. Indeed, such was its popularitythat Radio Eireann braadcast a part ofit last Monday evening.

ProductionJohn Jay and Louis Lentin produced

the Yeats’ plays, while the revue was inthe hands of Meryl Gourley, whosemusical director, George Hodnett, pro-vided the score.

"WARS ARE NEVER WON"History Society Freshers’ Debate

"Here I am" (cheers), opened theproposer, Mr. Haley-Dunne, and he pro-ceeded without much sincerity to out-line the misfortunes of war, thebereaved mothers and the limblesswounded. " This sacrifice was a waste,"placing the value uf the individual abovethe whole, the nation. His concludingremark was that "War was notjustifiable." However, he was unable togive an .alternative.

Mr. Haskins, in reply, consideredthat wars should be regarded in theirancient, medieval and modern context,and said that up to the nineteenthcentury they were on the whole success-ful.

" Victory is not a reality," answeredMr. A. Field. " Wars are never won,for the nations will always rise," he con-tinued. Miss Parkes countered by quot-ing the famous wars won in the past,such as William’s success in Ireland.

" War had ceased to be a gentlemanlygame by the time of Alexander," saidMiss C. Falkner. A country goes to warfor political ideas, but war alwaysdemoralises the victor. " If we were tofight with Russia, we would be impelledinto its way of life."

To Mr. Wynn Jones war was lucrative.Even the recent world war had had itsuse. In the decimation of the " flowerof youth it had its beneficial effectirr relieving unemployment." They haddied for modern prosperity.

Speaking from the floor, Mr. South-combe said that " men become sissiesin time of peace," and that "war wasnecessary t¢ knock down the excessivebuilding of houses." After this, Mr.Southcombe abandoned his shouting forincoherent laughter and words. " I’onlywant to say a few words " (cheers), saidMr. Ralston and gave us his lecturenotes on the French Revolution.

The debate was soon brought to anend by Miss Horn, the Audi~r, themotion being defeated by 26 votes to 12.

Favourites ScratchedWHILE bouquets ~nd backslaps were being handed out following a

fairly successful Historical Society Inaugural, some members

were questioning the organising ability of their committee. They were

locked out of the meeting.

This curious situation apparentlyarose from a short-sighted Corr~mitteepolicy .of inviting some 950 guests.Although only one-third of theseaccepted in writing, it is clear, from thefiasco at the reception, where it waseasier to stand on one’s head (and in-finitely more comfortable) than toobtain a coffee, that many more did infact arrive. Thus the total number ofguests at the reception alm~)st equalledthe seating capacity of the Dining Hall.

No Chance of AdmissionLong before the reception-commenced

a queue, which would have done justiceto an international football match, hadformed outside the hall. Ninty-five percent. of these gentlemen had no hope ofobtaining admission, and the fact thata good number in that queue weremembers of the Historical Society, whoonly a few days before had paid their£2 subscriptions (and how many of last

year’s committee had done that!), wasevidence enough of incompetent organi-sation.

It is true that arrangements weremade to relay the speeches to the G.M.B.,but it must have come as a shock tosome members who found themselvesthere, that the traditional after-meetingparty, where they would expect to meetthe distinguished guests, had, as such,been left out of the evening’s pro-gr.~mme. There was a party--for thechosen few.

The Auditor is to be congratulatedupon securing an excellent platform, onpaper, with Mr. Atlee an undoubtedattraction. But for many the speech ofthe evening was made by Sir RichardAcland. But for comments on the In-augural itself, it will suffice Vo reportthat at least one member of the LibraryCommittee had retired to bed long beforeMr. Maginness had a chance to send him.

REVIVAL OR RIDICULE ?e

Rev. Michael Fisher.

This week Dr. Billy Graham is visit-ing Cambridge. A great deal of specu-lation has been made as to the im-pression his methods will have upon theundergraduates there. Will he havesimilar results to those which followedthe Harringay and Edinburgh cam-paigns? Or will he be ridiculed as anon-intellectual?

Undergraduates in Trinity will havethe opportunity of hearing threeaddresses given by Billy Graham; thesewill be relayed direct from Cambridgeto the Examination Hall, to-night, to-morrow .and Saturday.

On Wednesday next, Rev. MichaelFisher, who led February’s Mission toTrinity, will return for a three-dayofficial visit. We publish here somecomments Michael Fisher made beforeDr. Graham began his visit.

Not a Full GospelSpeaking of the Cambridge equiv-dent

to the Dublin Christian Union and theS.C.M., Rev. Fisher said: " As far as Ican see there has been a failure on thepart of the evangelical fundamentalistorganisations t’o present a full Gospelmessage, and it is to be regretted thatthey have not seen the claims they makefor the Gospel against a background ofthe world in which a Gospel life has tobe lived."

On the S.C.M. he continues: " In itsconcern for the world, the Movement hassometimes failed to challenge thestudent community to an individual andpersonal commitment to Christ."Understand Differences

The relationship between the twogroups caused Rev. Fisher to remarkthat it is a scandal that in some casesthe groups are so preoccupied with theirown affairs that they dare not troubleabout the unity of Christendom, wtfichis dependent upon a thorough and anhonest understanding of differences.

Dr. Billy Graham.

Finally, commenting upon a religiousrevival: "A revival should force us intothe world (i.e., society organised with-out reference to God), to contend there,and bring all men under the Kingshipof Christ. Any withdrawal into anidealistic refuge is little more thansurrender to a totally false security."

Footnote. -- Rev. Michael Fisher willgive an address in College Chapel onThursday, November 17th, at 1.10, anda talk on " Evangelism " in RegentHouse on Friday at 4.30 p.m.

COMPLEX ARTAt the D.U. Metaphysical Society

opening meeting a paper was ~adby Prof. W. B. Gallic, of Q.U.B., entitled" Philosophical Aesthetics--for Whom ?"

Prof. Gallie referred first to the vogueof metacriticism which is content toanalyse the statements of artistic critics.He pointed out that the metacritics,however, differ as to what the critic’sjob is. Should he merely present worksof art, ~)r may he appraise them? Anew approach to art is called for. Theconflict in theories of art, the speakerargued, springs from the fact that atdifferent times one or other element inart has seemed to contain the wholetruth. We must see that each ’of theseelements is valid, and that art isessentially complex and contested.

Mr. Brian Boydell in a brilliantsketch of the recent history of musicaltheory illuminated these points made byProf. Gallic.

Dr. DorLald Davie challenged theessayist’s view that all aesthetic theoriesare really at one, and made some search-ing criticisms which prov’oked an excel-lent reply by the essayist.

The Auditor, A. C. Kuma, also spoke,supporting the paper fly reference toKant.

IRRIDESCENT DREAMS

OF THE S.R.C.To-morrow is the last day for send-

ing in n’ominations for the Faculty seatsin the S.R.C. elections. In previousyears the elections have been virtuallyignored or, worse still, have be~n madethe butt of discrediting jokes by the" intellectually frail an~d effete." Butthis year’s Elections Committee havedecided to run the elections on new lines,lines on which it is hoped n~) adversecomment can be raised. Now discreditcan no longer follow ineptitude, foreach constituency will have a separateFolling booth, advantageously placed forthe electors, .and presided over bythe Society representative in the S.R.C.and by members of the Executive. Inthis way a truly electoral atmosphere,with interest where previously therewas apathy, will be achieved. It is in-tended that the votes shall be countedin the presence of candidates or theirrepresentatives -- an innovation whichshould dispel any doubt about gerry-mandering fostered in gullible andirresponsible imaginations. The futureof the S.R.C. is the concern of everyundergraduate: therefore, think and usewell your opportunity in these elections.

SONGS OF THE GAEL" The origin and development of the

,, Irish ballad" was the title of a talk~ given by Mr. Vincent Byrne in the

Gaelic Society last Friday. He startedhis paper by giving a brief resume ofthe bardic period of Irish literature, inorder to show the essential qualities thatsurvive in modern times. "Each kingin Ireland had his personal bard," hesaid, "whose duty was, as a civilservant attached to the court, to praisehis master, and ~ show his descent fromthe great mythological heroes." Someof this early poetry is of a high literarystandard, but for the most part it iscrude. He then went on to describemore fully the part played by the Anglo-Irish ballad in the return to nationalconsciousness in the nineteenth century.

Mr. Byrne finished his talk by singinga number of Irish songs to demonstratethe main points he had made. EamonnO’Toole sang a ballatl in Irish todemonstrate the difference between thetwo forms.

A CLA NDIA

AT this time of year quantities of

idealism are thrust upon im-peccab~ clad audiences through in-augura,~ addresses. It is as well thatthe glory which the societies possessedin the past is still strong enough toattract able speakers wit~ somethingoriginal to say, because the success ofthis magnetism is, alas, the onlylegitimate excuse for the continuedexistence of i n a u g u r a I papers.Admittedly, it is difficult to come to anynew conchrsions on matters which havebeen chewed over by statesmen andcrooks for the past umpteen years, butpeace and the perfect society are notthe only subjects open to mankind.

Fcrtunately, despite all difficulties,¯ some speakers seem able to squeezeblood out of the most anaemic stone andthe performance, which the Hist. heardfrom Sir Richard Acland last week wasbrilliantly stimulating; it was only un-fortunate that the order of speakers wasso arranged that we had no chance ofhearing the other politicians answer, orfail to answer, his arguments. He is aman with principles which he refusesto give up in the face of electoral defeat(a rarity at Westminster these days),linked spiritually with the Donald Soper"cup of tea" theme. His ideas, whethercorrect or not, are worthy of carefulattention, particularly in a university.His belief was that suspicion and fearwould rise to such a pitch, through theirconstant prolongation, that eventuallythere would he an e~plosion. In this hewas wrong; if prolonged, fear loses itsgreat force as men become accustomedto living constantly under it~ shadow.Tlhe danger lies in the introductio~ of afalse sense of security which leads tocarelessness, not in fear itself. Never-theless his main thesis is correct: when-ever danger has threatened, man hasalways taken up arms; after two worldwars, Richard Acland’s ideas may wellbe worth deep consideration. At leastthey can’t be refuted from history be-cause they have never been tried.

It is ironic that shortly after SirRichard Acland had spoken to the Histabout the dangers facing .humanity,certain ~tembers of College’ showed howstupid humanity can be by hurling milkbottles on to the new tennis courts inthe Bay. The money for the work wasnot provided by the College, but by t~heT.C.D. ¯Trust (see "T.C.D." last week~the interesting article), which issuppoi’ted by voluntary contributions.This act amounts to a direct insult tothe College benefactors, but presumablyits perpetrators were inebriated. How-ever, this is not to condone their deed;the pieces of glass remained lying therefor days as witness to their folly. PoorSir Richard.

ProfileTHE PRESIDENT OF

THE S.R.C.

Mr. Noel HarknessBorn twenty-four years ag~ in Dun-

gannon, but more closely connected withBelfast, Noel Harkness is a product ofthe plantations, a staunch PresbyterianUnionist, and an old boy of CampbellCollege. Spending two years in busi-ness after leaving school, he came toCollege in 1952 and found himselfrapidly elected to the S.R.C. Hequickly attained responsible office in thisorganisation, and one of his first actsas President was to engage an attractiveyoung secretary. Firmly convinced ofthe part that the representatives of theundergraduates can play in the runningof the University, he is determined tomvdernise the Council this year. Whilekeeping an open mind on the subject ofthe proposed union, he is determinedthat any G.M.B. Committee shall assume¯full responsibility for the S.R.C.’s Com-mittee activities.

As President he also holds the exaltedposition of a trustee 6f " Trinity News,"but long before reaching this dizzyheight he had contributed numberlesscartoons and drawings to its illustriouspages. Unfortunately, our eyes are nolonger gladdened by his artistry as theReading Room takes its t~ll. He in-augurated his College career with acourse in Pass Arts, but was soonattracted by Clio, to whose mysteries hedevoted himself for two terms. Butanother force entered his academicvision and Noel Harkness took up LL.B.He has become a devotee of Lincoln’sInn (London) and will shortly besampling the contents of its cellars.

Meanwhile, he contents himself withJammer’s, experience gained during histwo years in Boat Club crews. He is abeliever in the Epicurean eternaltriangle and is a popular master ofceremonies at dances and parties.Having made his mark in College, henevertheless continues to live in rooms.

IN BOOK FORMAs announced last week, "Trinity

News" is publishing a Careers Supple-ment with its issue of 1st December.Containing eight pages on careers, aswell as our normal features, this editionwill indeed be a bumper one--and stillcosts only 3d.

THE IMPORTANCE OFBEING EARLY

(A Plea to 1956 Moderators)In the offices ~f business men in the

U.K., in the darker corners of Whitehalland Upper O’Connell Street plans havealready been laid for the 1956 IN’rAKE(i.e., you). Personnel officers havefought with directors, and establish-ments officers with treasury officials, sothat the vital question of " how many "has been fixed. There remains thesecondary--but more important questionfor us--" where from," and this i~ soonto be settled by the vast selection para-phernalia (ranging from three homeessays to fitting weird shapes intoweirder holes)¯, which will now be usedto choose the graduates to fit the jobs.

I can offer you no quick course inselectionmanship which will enable youto match up to this array. Some moreexperienced interviewees claim that afolded copy of " The Times " with cross-word tWo-thirds completed (completionwould mark you as a dangerous man)gives a start of at least a hundredmarks. They omit to say what happensif you are asked to leave the paper out-side !

What I can offer is to tell you aboutthe opp’ortunities which exist, to get toknow you through chatting and inter-view, so that I can, where necessary,support your applications, and arrangefor you to meet the representatives whoare coming over to see us in HilaryTerm (watch out f~)r the dates and com-panies in next Term’s issues). But Icannot do any of these well unless youcome to see me before the end of thisTerm. Half-an-hour now (calculated asa percentage of full term, this mustbe infinitesimal) may save you a yearlater on, and will enable you to approachMod.--or rather for Mod. to rush onyou~with the problem of job-huntingsettled. Many, I, feel, may keep awaybecause they think employers are notinterested until their class of degree isknown. This is quite untrue; in manycases, and especially for the Artsgraduates, character and interests, per-sonality and appearance, are going tocount just as ~nuch. In some instancesit may be advantageous to be fixed witha job before results .are known!

Closing dates for Government com-petitions have already been announced.The competition for AdministrativeClass ’of the English Civil Service closeson 29th February; for the Senior Branchof the Foreign Service, 30th November.The Irish Civil Service will require twoAdministrative Officers and one man forthe Department of External Affairsbefore August, 1956, and they must beproficient in Irish (have you been to seeProfessor Green Vo find out if he canhelp you get up to scratch ?) Industrialfirms are sending representatives overfrom the end of January onwards.Finally, you may wish to visit companiesduring the Christmas and Eastervacations to find out more about thembefore finally choosing.

If you delay till Hilary Term it willnot be easy to fit in an interview, asmuch of my time will be taken upmaking arrangements for visitors. Tomake the most of the opportunities whichexist and to use your own time mostwisely, you must come early. Arrangean interview to-day; to-morrow maybring disappointment.

J. K. HUDSON,Appointments Officer.

CollegePro Patria

The new parking arrangements in theParade Ground will have opened up newand hitherto undiscovered territory formany people in College. The name anddesolation of this forgotten bit ofCollege bring to mind those days whenstudents were raised in a militarytradition. I,t brings to mind also thenow unheeded sacrifice of the many whowere killed and al~out whom ~ew reallythought when badgered by the poppy-sellers last Saturday. Most Of Lhosewho visit the Reading Room every dayare unaware that a Hall of Honorexists. Names on marble tablesare meaningless for most, yet thereare many n~mes to be proud of. Whata contrast to our attitude was thedemonstration of U.C.D. students lastSaturday over one man who died ratherdifferently in the same indefinable cause--freedom. Perhaps their demonstra-ti~)n was a last swig of Rag Day spirit;perhaps it is better that our educatedminds in Trinity are prepared to forgetwar, death and the past, and dwell onpeace, the living and the future. Letus never forget that we have cause stillto be very proud.

Philanthropist PhergusWhile indulging in pride,’it is seemly

to pay tribute to a real public bene-factor, the second Pyle to be mentionedin this column in two weeks, Fergus,High King of the Gaelic Society. Somoved was he at the scandalous con-dition of College toilet facilities de-scribed last week, that he went out withbrush and paint in hand, a man with amission, to paint out everything foul.His care for social welfare does not stopat that, for high office gave him a newvision. From the Gaelic Society roomsdelicate strains of Chamber Music may

ObServedbe heard t~ soothe those tryingto work. The Skerrett Trio (F.Pyle, clarlnet; R. Skerrett, trumpet;P. Gallagher, saxophone) practisesmost m o r n i n g s, afternoons andevenings and the sound is a constantdelight. For every select occasion, thetrio may be engaged on rather expen-sive terms, but as Fergus explained," Art above everything," ,as he droppedhis cigarette end in the mouthpiece ofthe saxophone.

Waiting for Rissole h la GobboAfter the queue for the Hist. Opening

Meeting, and the procession of Nationalstudents last Saturday, surely the recordwaiting stream of humanity in Dublinis the Buffet queue. Which of us hasnot suffered there the ,agony, of waitingin inferior company? By the SeniorFreshman stage we graduate to Robertsor Bewley’s, and by ~he time JuniorSophister degeneration has set in, asandwich in a pub suffices till the glassof beer at tea-time. Genuine SeniorSophister Ralph Mitchell was interviewedat lunch-time last week while he cookeda solitary pork sausage in a big fryingpan. "I don’t believe in lunch," de-clared Ralph as he proceeded to dissectthe cooked sausage in the interests ofbacteriology. This is typical of the un-glamorous, insensitive and passionlessSenior Sophister approach to matters ofthe flesh. Many a man who began hiscollege career with a fine palate, whodined at the Russell on "K6batl’Orientale," and sipped Levantine wineof fantastic vintage, is reduced in oldage to bangers and bread rinsed downwith a mouthful of Jameson’s. Wherethe soothing influence of the MissesStephenson and Kelly are no longerapparent, the foul effects of the tuberclebacillus soon will be. But the queue isvery long . . .

Social CircularMr. Roland Seaman has announced

his engagement to Miss KathleenMcKinney.

The following have honoured Collegewith a visit:

The Visitor to the University, the Hen.Mr. Justice Kingsmill Moore.

Mr. David Spencer, B.A. (spec." Botany Bay ").

Mr. Eamon de Valera.All the Ambassadors.

The S.R.C.’s new secretary has takenup her appointment and visits theCouncil’s rooms in No. 4 every Saturdaymorning.

THE MIRROR OF AN AGEWith unparalleled ~licence, the student

body in the eighteenth century indulgedin every excess. Not justice and order,but physical violence and personal in-fluence were the hard rule of thedominating thin Protestant layer ofsociety; and this .accounted for the ruth-less high spiritedness of the students.Although Swift thought that Trinity wasstricter than Oxford and Cambridge,this can hardly be verified.

The letters of.Richard Stacpoole throwan interesting light upon Collegeactivities. On January 17, 1789, hewrote: " My dear father, I was fortunateto .buy an almost new g~wn for threeguineas. Last Wednesday a gentlemanshot a boy in the Library for throwing*snowballs at h£m." On June 9th; thesame year, we find that " Commons onTrinity Sunday were very pleasant;geese thrown, trenchers broke, andeverything tore and broke."

Around this time College gates werethe way to a well-known sanctuary fordebtors. Any inquiring bailiffs soon re-ceived short shrift from students. Assoon as ,one was spotted, the cry wentup, and the unfortunate wretch wasrapidly seized and dragged to a we,edenpump. Here in the centre of Fron~Square he was soused and booted on hisway.

CORRESPONDENCEDear Sir, -- I am afraid that your

correspondent at the Mod. Lang. generalmeeting did not fully understand theproposal he reports me as having madebefore that meeting. I would be grate-ful ff you would allow me to remove anymisunderstanding that may have beenraised as a result of his report.

Shortly before the beginning of termthe Committee ~)f the Gaelic Societydecided to suggest to the Mod. Lang.Society that it would be of mutual benefitto the two societies if some form ofinter-relationship in the question ofsubscriptions could be devised. I spokeprivately with several members of Mod.Lang., including a member of the SpecialCommittee. These all .agreed that sucha plan could be of great use to eachsociety in collecting members.

When I proposed it at the meetingthere were several present who thoughtthat I wished the Gaelic Society tobecome a group in the Mod. Lang.Society. This could not be further fromthe truth. The Gaelic Society has a longand a proud tradition of its own; it

.could not become part of a " union ~)ramalgamation " with any other society.This I took care to point ¯out at themeeting. The suggestion that I madewas based on a scheme frequently advo-cated during the course of last year by" Trinity News," namely, the adoptionby the minor societies of a systemso,mething like D.U.C.A.C. This pro-posal would concern only two societies,but would, I feel, be a step in the rightdirection.--Yours,

Fergus Pyle, Auditor, Gaelic Society.

I baeullus in MalahideLast Thursday’s torrential rain did

! ~)t prevent the several care-free oars-

Imen motorists from reaching " Sea-mount," Malahide, where Mr. and Mrs.

i Wall Morris generously presided over as~m~tuous pre-Boat Club Ball dinner

!~y as a special treat for son CaptainFhihp. Ex-Admiral Pearson stopped

] 0n the way at the Grand Hotel tofortify himself (a bit), with some assist-ance from Rosemary Brown. DanceSecretary Brian (E.S.B.) Kidd, supportedby Beulah Wells, murmured a complaintabout having to leave early to selltickets.

All Oarsmen FeastIn due time they all arrived at the

Metropole to assist at this annual feastof all-oarsmen (and women). DeirdreCrawford once more confessed to Gerry(Haw-Haw) Shepherd that she adoredthe Club and their functions, whileMolly Maguire admitted that HappyHugh Holroyd was more breath-takingwithout his spectacles. It was alsopretty obvious that Jimmy Brownlowand Louie Mackie had plenty in common--it is not quite clear how much--apari;from their brand new autos. HugheDelap was satisfied with sweet whisper-ings to Patsy (Pop) Cochrane, while inthe meantime Deirdre Ross was experi-encing the result of Vincent Wrigley’sattachment. (Poor girl). Rosemary

ProUlled the oars and John gathered herm the floor for the fourth time;

Philip the Virtuous pronounced thebenedictivn, while Frances (Gibbs) re-mained in attendance and the meetingadjourned.

Free CoffeeIncidentally, no invitation is needed to

attend the Boat Club captain’s lunch-time coffee party next Saturday, from1.30, at 28 College. Freshers and any

others interested will have an oppor-tunity to meet seasoned members.

FiestaA group of Trinity pseudo-intellectuals

drifted to Rock Vale last Saturday tokeep the company vf certain Senoritaswho had brought along a dancer fromtheir native Spain to entertain theguests with fiestas. While the wine wasflowing, Paddy Burgess-Watson seren-aded Mary Falkiner to the accompani-ment of guitars and the moanings vfamazed Pat Milia and Co. At the sametime, psychologist John Watson (theWee One) and his flock, which includedPentycross Bros., out for a "good night,"unscrupulously turned Palmerston Parkupside down, disturbing courting couples,in search of the proceedings. Alas,their efforts were in vain, to the relief~f mis-informant Riccardo T.

Bar FliesInto Jammet’s Back Bar, so reminis-

cent of a Victorian bathroom, on Satur-day night came Anthony (" Gruesome ")Cunynghame in search of coffee. Butsurprise of the evening was the entry ofa woman, which caused Riccardo, scionof the royal house of Tomacelli, to leavein abrupt dudgeon. However, Chris.Pentycross, on being informed ofthe .departure of Tony Garrett-AnderSon, offered drinks all round.Michael Deare stayed behind todiscuss ski-ing, while Botros HanaBotros flitted to and fro betweenthe Back Bar and the Burlington, sous-ing his beard in his rapidly diminishingglass. In one corner, Divinity StudentBrian Studdert was entertained byDermot Beatty, hungrily grmwning acrust of brown bread. Just before thewitching hour of 10 p.m., Billy Fugeentered with Nicholas Bailey, te watchwith amazement hardened toper HenryBlackburn lower bottles of 7-UP.

Woman’s Column

SUNNY ITALYAlready several fashion- conscious

Trinity girls have been seen wearingthe snug, smart Angora hats and gloveswhich are now in vogue.

Italy, where these weather-wiseaccessories were manufactured, has alsomade a name as the producer of holidayclothes. Italians on holiday are among

the smartest people in Europe. Theirclothes have a uniformity of patternsand colour -- but what striking effectsthey achieve! Red, white and blue is thepredominant theme. The shortest ofshorts in vivid scarlet or light blue areteamed with cotton sweaters in hori-zontal stripes of red and white, by chicItalian girls. The men favour startlingred shirts with blue cotton trousers.

Men and children wear flattish wooden"mules," kept on by a strip of leather.Those of the women are often more thanfour inches tall. Bathing costumes withmatching skirts are worn as sun-dresses,and on the beach the girls just whip offtheir skirts and are ready to swim. Inthe evening they add fine woollen stoles,which look so much more feminine thancardigans.

Italian men ignore the formality ofjackets and change into fresh whiteshirts which set off their glowing suntans.

How much better Irish girls would

BOYS FOR THE JOBThe "Theo" began its series of

vrdinary meetings on Monday nightwhen Mr. T. H. Mack read his prizeessay entitled " The Supply of Candi-dates for the Ministry." Backed by animpressive -- if digestible -- feast ofstatistics, he seemed to be advocatinga total revolution in the mental approachto the problem: even to the extent ofemploying the methods of the Jesuits.

Mr. J. A. Buller produced morestatistics and in a whirl of washingmachines and expanding television sets,brought forth the theory that we areliving in a materialistic age. A braceof Moores were chiefly concerned withmoney, a subject which Mr. Darlingattempted to avoid--then succeeded insaying nothing at all. It was left to Mr.Wann tu strike to the real root of theproblem in regretting the absence of anykind of vocation in the Church ofIreland. But he eluded both his pointand his sincerity by his use of ratherpietistic jargon--already demonstratedat its worst in the evangelical ranting ofMr. Rudd. Mr. Johnson then style theshow with the best original joke theSociety will hear this session. Perhapsit was a pity the evening could not endhere, for of the remaining speakers,only the President, Dr. Oulton, scratchedthe surface of the problem -- thoughperhaps we should not forget theAuditor’s advocacy of a Universityeducation on H.P. terms!

RELIGIO LICITAOne of the Greatest Men of the

CenturyIa the lunch-hour service on Tuesday,

Dr. Hartford gave a vivid and originaladdress on the life and work of WilliamTemple, a late Archbishop of Canter-bury.

AS a personal friend of Dr. Temple,the Archbishop King’s Professor ofDiyinity recalled instances which fullyillustrated h’ow this great figure hadcome t,o be known not only as thegreatest thinker and writer since St.Anslem, but also as a " Big Brother" toall sections of the community. Aphilosopher and theologian, WilliamTemple’s interest in the EcumenicalMovement, his great spirit of evangelismand his work as a Reformer gave him atitle of Archbishop of All Denominations.

" He touched nothing that he did notadorn," said Dr. Hartford. Having heardthis address, who could think otherwise ?

The Chota ~Nagpur Student Com-mittee has thought of a way tohelp an Indian boy by waste-papercollecting. The Committee has under-taken to pay £11 towards the boy’seducation, and anyone wishing Vo helpthem do this should contact John Buller,40 T.C.D. He will arrange for theirwaste-paper to be collected. The Com-mittee are also organising a coffeemorning on Saturday in No. 6, and .anyfurther details about the paper-drivemay be obtained there.

S.C.M.The speaker at last week’s Lmeeting of

the S.C.M. was Rev. R. G. Livingstone.Speaking on the subject, " Choosing aJob," he said that the discovery of one’stalents may be the means by which Godseeks to guide us in finding His purposefor our lives. Mr. Livingstone con-sidered that the best paid job may notbe the une in which we can have themost happiness. During the very livelydiscussion which fol}owed, the need wasexpressed for a vocation guidance bureauin College.

The Bishop of Cork will be in Collegeon Tuesday next. He will conduct thelunch-hour service and also address theS.C.M., taking as his subject, " Is Worka Curse?"

Last Friday’s address to the ChristianUnion proved to be one of the mostpractical for some time. Dr. Allen’ssubject was " Personal Belief," and hetouched lightly ’on his own spiritual ex-perience, which, he said, had played avital part in his life from a very earlyage. Developing his subject, he showedhow belief must be personal if it wereto be real.

In concluding, Dr. Allen said thatthere was really no quarrel betweenreligion and science, provided eachrecognised the authority of the other intheir own particular sphere.

Choral Society"MESSIAH" IN FULL

On Tuesday, December 6th, the Societywill give a performance of Handel’s" Messiah" in the Examination Hall.

NATIONS2.--THE GREEKS

None of the nationalities in Collegecan claim such varied family back-grounds and so many lands of origin asthe Greeks. Business men and ship-uwners front England, sisal farmersfrom Tanganyika, merchants fromRhodesia, doctors from Egypt all jointhe Cypriots to boast of Greeknationality. There are even Greeks fromGreece, but it is not true that all Greeksin College are backed by "big .money."

Although in the Universities ofAthens and Salonica their motherlandoffers two excellent institutions, a size-able percentage of the Greeks have forseveral decades now been studyingabroad, which must have greatly con-tributed to their internationalism. It isin fact said that Greeks attend practi-cally every worthwhile university in theworld. Befvre the war the tren~i was infavour of German-speaking and French-speaking universities, but in the 1.ast fewyears English-speaking institutions have¯ " " ’Soeen favoured. Trlmty prestige,coupled with Ireland’s position in inter-national relations, offers the uniqueopportunity of gaining a universallyrecognised degree which is not liable t’oprove embarrassing in the future.

’IN TRINITYThe great majority of the Greeks in

College attend professional courses,about half of them studying medicineand the rest commerce or law. Thereare, however, some reading for Honordegrees. Their academic achievementsare not below average, but with certainexceptions their interests in extra-curricular College activities--if any--are confined to the D.U. Association forInternational Affairs.

It is often said that some of theGreeks tend to be cliquish. While theremight be a certain element of truth inthis statement, the "clique" is notexclusively Greek but international, asit includes members of a number ofnation~. They are certainly not asisolationistic as the English abroad, noris any other nationality, as numerous .asthey are, but they m~x without muchdifficulty, though naturally enough theyhave their dislikes.

The Greeks are comparatively new toTrinity, but their numbers have beensteadily rising, due, no doubt, to thegood impression gained by the firstentrants and their love for Ireland. TheCollege in respect of overseas studentsis d~ing the country a great service ininterrmtional relations. Xavier.
