TRINITY’S BRAIN DRAIN

At the er~d of this ),ear tr:ere ~..’;~! be :: considerable change in thestaff of the Coilege. Dro Ryan, Dr. Lyon,s, Mr. Dowrick and Mr.Tilornton are four ser:ior members who are taking up posts elsewhere.Professor ~oody [s having a sabbatical year and Professor Edwardsis going to America for a yeay. At the end of the last academic year,a large number of junior staff took pos~s in the United Kingdom.Nr. O~Regan, Hr. jacksoP., Nr. Drake and Hr. Fuge were among theArts iecturers who ~eft. There is oP~e simple reason for this largeturn-over of staff, and that is the sma~i safaries available in Trhfity.

A juMor Eecrurer in College recdws about £260 a year less thana junior ~ecturer in Great Britaim it s~ems that at present Trinity isincapabEe of payin~ more money. The re-deco:’aZon schemes inCortege, renovation in many quarters, new kitchens, the buying ofSsntry sports ground, and the bu!tdi:~ of the new iibrary are aHlarge items of exprr.-ditare in wh;ci~ the. Coi!ege is at present invo[ved,or ha~ recei*.t!y had to meet. ~ he Cc4~ege has a considerable over-draft and cannot pay higher sz~aries ~t present.

The situation is very serious, for ~:~ess some remedy is found soonit is quite !ike[y that many of the more abBe members of the sta.rl~

will be attracted to other posts. +t is L:P’Lae thai:, aS Pi’ofessor Edwards~ays elsewhere, " Trinity engenders a strong sense of loyalty." This£s the undoubted explanation of the fact +hat more people have notJeff before. One must wonder, however, how long loyalty can out-weigh financial considerations of the order of £200 annually.

ihe probtem is twofold, how to attract new young tecturers tothe staff, and how to keep the more senior members of staff. AHow-ing for the fact that the atmosphere of Trinity is more congenial formany, finance is of considerable importance in answer to boti+problems. Bearing this in mind, the student may realise that he isnot the only person who suffers from lack of money.

It is to be hoped that Trinity wit! receive a +arge enougi+ grantfrom the Government for the new year to allow the College to main-tain its standards and make a Ion8 overdue increase in salary. Forsome years ahead, until the vast capital expenses involved in presentschemes are paid comp+etely, aH of us must be prepared to take inour belts and wait for the day when it will be possible to spend moremoney on staff and students alike. This shouM be remembered bythose who boycotted Buffet. A boycott does nothiP, g to assist theCollege; it achieves nothing, and it does cause further financial em-barrassment. |f there were more money available in Co!!ege, Buffetwould receive more equipment and a higher subsidy, and qualitywould improve for lower prices. As it is, we must keep our prioritiesstraight and realise that any Buffet subsidy must be superseded byhigher salaries for the staff. There is I+ttle point in having wonderfulfacilities for student welfare if the academic standard is allowed tofall sharply.

Appearing in " Union News,"the Leeds University newspaper,was the following paragraph:

" Recently slices of bread havebeen found in the Library. Con-sequently mice have done irre-parable damage to a number ofvaluable volumes. Also the un-finished remains of a meal havebeen found in a pamphlet box.

Remains of luncheons havebeen sighted in Front Squareafter sherry parties in Number 6,but as far as the ColiegeArchives show, there is no evi-dence that mixed grills have beenfound in the Book of Kells.

Regulations governing the hoursduring which women may st?q in

men’s room at a Liveroool Uni-versity hostel have brought with

them a rise in the cost of !lying. ]The penalty for having a girl ]friend in the hostel after 11.30p.m. and before 9.30 a.m. is nowa 10s. fine. One wonders if thisfigure of 10s. will become ~hemodern equivalent of the Greek"golden mean." When does abird become worth 10s.? "Per-haps she’s only worth 9s." mightbe the unspoken comment by amale student faced by a girl in hisroom at the Cindere!la hour of11.30 p.m.

The following comment wasmade by an inhabitant of theHostel: " If the vast income fromthis source is used to improve thequality and quantity of food, Ishall have no objection to payingan extra £1 or so a week."

Mary Mar),

GaietyJ

Carole Shelley, William Syl-vester and David Bea!e head theLondon company in " Mary Mary"which H. H. Tennent Ltd. are pre-senting at che Gaiety Theatre fora sadly limited run of one week.

Set in a New York apartmentin the present day, " Mary Mary"is a charming and witty comedyabout the domestic difficulties ofa husband and wife. Unlike thepredictable American comedyabout divorce, where the pre-cocious child brings the coupletogether again, " Mary Mary"presents the novel suggestion ofincome tax problems as the solv-ing factor.

The timing of the cast is excel-lent; they are obviously by nowfamiliar enough with their partsto be very relaxed and reallyappreciate the humour of thissituation comedy, with its ten-gags-a-minute quality.

Carole Shelley, who plays thefemale lead, gave an exception-ally amusing and exuberant per-formance. Effectively honey-coloured from hair downwards,she was inventive and veryfeminine as the unsure, wise-cracking wife. David Beale is ex-tremely relaxed at the self-centred husband who "can onlycommunicate to himself, but evenso the line is constantly engaged."Adrienne Hill rather overdoes thesweet young thing, and hermannerisms show a recent attend-ance at drama school rather thannatural affectation. Mr. Lock-wood West as the tax consultant

is very convincing and does a lotwith a small part.

" Mary Mary" is a more pro-fessional production than any-thing I have seen in Dublin for along time. It is almost continu-ally amusing, on occasions ex-tremely witty in a Maileresquevein--and most certainly a verygood evening’s entertainment.

The walls were judiciously hungwith well-spaced canvases, eightin all, the predominant coloursbeing blue, red and sea-green,bright but deep in their intensity.There was a woman crouchedover a game of cards on the floor.Her apparent nonchalance wasdisconcerting and belied herreadiness to communicate at theslightest opportunity.

An Austrian, she has spentsome time in Portugal and Spain.However, she regards Ireland asbeing just as conducive to work--her bright colours not emanat-ing from either the sun of joie devivre of a more equitable climate.Living predominantly as a recluseand working strenuously, theseapparently are of minor import-ance~ It is her emotions and feel-ings that she expresses on canvas,which to her is a form of release,

a purgation. She has, naturally,passed through a figurative stage,her first painting being an Irishsea-scape, but here she was neverat her ease, unable to subordinateher impressions of set lines she

would smudge out lines trying toescape. Expressionism in whichthe Germans seem particularlyadapted gave her encouragement,always experiencing a feeling ofself-doubt after breaking into anew field of experimen:. None-theless she is a highly individual-istic artist and acknowledges noinfluences anywhere in her career.Her work is a gradual, inevitableevolution, the abstract her latestsphere of expression.

It is indeed to be regrettedthat such a singularly gifted,sincere and original artist shouldbe forced to confine her showingin Dublin to the precincts ofTrinity College, whose walls theaverage Dubliner does not care,dare or bother to penetrate.

After the amazing succcess oflast term’s " In Memory of DylanThomas." Lynn Hughes has de-cided to revive the production onSunday, March, 1st, St. David’sDay. At 2.30 and 8 in Players’Theatre, Tony Weale, RobertHutchinson, fan Milton and LynnHughes will read extracts fromthe poetry and prose of DylanThomas. "Under Milk Wood"is replaced by selected piecesfrom the work of another WelshPoet, Alun Lewis, who was killedin the last war.

The wonderful flavour ofThomas’ word play, humour andpathos, is, I am assured, still in-tact, which will make it wellworth a visit.

The Donald Macpherson Group of Companies haverapidly expanded since the end of the war. The Group consists of eight companies

and ten factories with headquarters at Bury, Lancashire. The Group’s products

have a high reputation throughout the whole surface coating field and includes

paints, varnishes, and lacquers of all kinds for decorative and protective purposes.

To maintain its position as one of the leading paint manufacturers, the Group

devote a considerable proportion of its resources to the study of new raw materials

and to the creation of new surface coating compositions.

All types of graduates are required but more especially

scientists and technologists to assist in the Group’s research and development

programme. The technical work associated with the design and manufacture of

paint and allied products is a fascinating subject and offers unlimited opportunities

to those who enter the challenge of new problems to be solved.

Salaries are reviewed annually, and increments depend on individual ability and

performance.

Cuchulain

by W. B. Yeats

PlayersLet it be said, first and fore-

most, that Players have nearlysucceeded in doing the im-possible. This cycle of plays trac-ing the life and death of Cuchu-lain is a monstrously unwieldlypiece of theatre--theatre, that is,as we know it to-day. But thisproduction must be put in per-spective. There is no beginning,middle or end, no one theme, noplot. The five episodes areseparate entities with littledramatic form, except for theverse of Yeats, the power poetryof symbols, the sharing of theinner experience.

As it stands it is more anevening of poetry than a play,and here two problems arise.Should the five episodes betreated as a formal pageant, usingthe actors as rnouthpieces for thewritten word; or’ should anattempt be made at naturalism,thus giving at least some motiva-tion for what is being said?Director John Jay approaches thework by using both formal andnatural means, neither of whichwere contrasted enough to bewholly effective. On the onehand there is the very realattempt at characterisation in the"Green Helmet," but the ideasbehind the characters remainmore important than the char-acters themselves. On the otherhand, in " On Baile’s strand " hisattempt at a vivid tableau duringthe " swords in the flame" sceneis marred by untidy grouping andsome seemingly pointless move-ment.

But certainly we hear everyword, delivered perhaps with agreater emphasis on their soundquality than the actual meaning.To some specialists meaning Isentirely of secondary importance,but here I found it difficult notto become a completely passivelistener, wooed by the wordsflowing in this huge verbal con-cert, momentarily conscious ofthe mood left with no lasting im-pression. The music by GeorgeHodnett was beautifully integ-rated with the mood and helpedto establish the atmosphere, andthe dancing, though perfectlyexecuted by Shashi Trevadi,needed to be isolated either bylighting or by limiting the stagespace used, to be whollyeffective.

Michael Mackenzie as Cuchu-lain never gave the impressionthat he himself knew what hewas trying to achieve, due mostprobably to the limited scope forprojecting a recognisable char-acter. His voice was lacking inrange, there was no strength orwarrior like fluidity in his move-ments and in the one genuineclimax when he realises that hehas just killed his own son, thesilent, quivering passion of aheart bursting with grief wastotally missed. Ralph Bates, theFool and W. B. Yeats, proved thathe is the only truly versatile actorin Players. Walter Jones wassuperby accurate in detail as theBlind Man, and the voice controlof the chorus was nearly fault-less. For the rest they wereadequate--no more, no less.

Here we have an entertain-ment for the specialist; an enter-tainment which neither rises togreat heights nor falls to greatdepths. A truly ambitious attemptto master something that is, how-ever, beyond their scope.

Harpsichord RecitalThe Central Music Committee

must be congratulated on arrang-ing a recital by so distinguishedand versatile a musician as Mr.George Malcolm. Last Thursdayin the Exam. Hall he played anattractive programme of harpsi-chord music to a large audience.He is unquestionably the mostpopular exponent of this instru-ment alive to-day and certainly hismanual dexterity is unsurpassed:it was a great honour to have arecital of such distinction givenespecially for the University andwith no admission charge.

The Kirckman harpsicord isnow in first-rate condition, thanksto Mr. Cathal Gannon, and itsmany possibilities were exploitedmore fully than we have heardbefore. For example, very strongcontrasts of tone-colour wereused in quick succession. Thiswas very impressive in the Haydnsonata and in the descriptivepieces by Rameau: few would dis-pute its effectiveness in Bach’sChromatic Fantasia (though thereis no historic justification for it),but in the pieces from the Fitz-william Virginal Book, I foundmyself listening to the instrumentrather than the music. I thinkthat to amplify short, old-Englishvirginal pieces into loud worksw i t h complicated registrationmay not be a good thing. MrMalcolm produced almost in-credible crescendos and diminu-endos by discreet use (somemight say misuse) of the machinestop. In his introductory remarkshe explained tha~ tile " machine"was a device expressly intendedto compete with the piano at theend of the eighteenth centurywhen the harpsichord was alreadyfalling out of favour. He was,however--as he said later-" quite unrepentant" about usingit in earlier music!

The recital opened with theChromatic Fantasia and Fugue ofJ. S. Bach, which was slightly dis-appointing and contained severalinaccuracies. In fairness to Mr.Malcolm, we must remember thatthis was at the very start of theprogramme and that many of ushad already heard his brilliantrecord of this work, played on amodern harpsichord. (The Trinityharpsichord is 192 years old andhas smaller keys than mostmodern instruments.) After theBach came the Fitzwilliam pieces,of which Farnaby’s "TowerHill" had the most immediateappeal. These were less heavilyornamented than I had expected,except for the final chord of eachpiece.

The Haydn piano sonata, whichmust often have been played onthe harpsichord, was particularlyimpressive. It was played withmore dynamic gradations than itgets in many piano performancesand, of course, with infinitelymore colourful timbres.

The rest of the programmeconsisted of works composedespecially for the harpischord byRameau and Scarlatti. The firstof these, La Poule, is a regularfeature of Mr. Malcolm’s recital!programmes. He seemed per-fectly at home in all these works.which he played with great vigourand apparently effortless tech-nique. The audience was deprivedof an encore, as the recitalist wassubjected to public questioningafterwards.

We are most grateful to GeorgeMalcolm for his superb recital andlook forward to a return visit.

SPAREUS A PENNY KEEPING COMPANY

Liz. Bell and Scilla Elworthy look into the problem

of Dublin’s poor

" In every road :he ensigns ofpoverty are displayed," saidBishop Berkeley in 1749 and hiswords might be echoed by any-one who walks round Dubin to-day. There are the beggars play-ing their tuneless mouth organson O’Connell Bridge; empty-eyedmen leaning up against a wallwatching the passing traffic; thefamiliar figures of aged men,bearded and tattered, jostled tothe inside of the pavement bythose with somewhere to go.Perhaps for a moment youwonder where they go: whetherthey spend the night in a busshelter or station or in a derelicthouse; where their next meal willcome from Of course, all citieshave their poor. It may be thatwe notice them particularly herebecause we know parts of thiscity so well or because we havemore time here to watch people.We see them but after a briefmoment’s pity, we forget themand shut our minds to them.

What does happen to thehomeless? There is little excite-ment about their lives andcertainly no romance. Unemploy-ment benefit in Dublin is verylow indeed. There are, how-ever, two organisations: t h eLegion of Mary and the Societyof St. Vincent de Paul which tryand help the homeless andpoverty-stricken. N eit h e r issupported by the Church, butdepend only on the generosity ofprivate people. There have beenrepeated requests for someGovernment interest in theproblems which these two organi-sations together with ot h e rbodies are struggling to combat.Their work in the night sheltersis carried on by lay brothers andsisters, either full or part timeworkers, business or professionalmen who give up two or threeevenings a week, and interestedmembers of the clergy.

We went to the night shelter,of St. Vincent de Paul in Back

Lane, near Christ Church, whichprovides supper, bed and break-fast free of charge to about 30,000men a year. Most of these aretemporarily down in their luck oryoung men up from the countrywho have failed to find a job andhave run out of money. Some,however, are regulars who seldomkeep a job long. These can stayat the shelter for a fortnight, butafter that they are not supposedto come back for two months;this acts as an incentive to go outand find work, and to preventthem from using the shelter as afree hotel. There are also a hardcore of unemployables and mentoo old to work and these areallowed to stay in the shelter thewhole time as they have nowhereto go.

The shelter is a large fortress-like building surrounded by ahigh brick wall. At 6 o’c. whenwe arrived there were about 40men waiting to be admitted.We had to push through them tofind the Superintendent whom, toour surprise, we found be a asmall, middle-aged woman. Sheturned out to be a great person-ality and well able to run theshelter. Among many otherthings she told us that if therewas ever any trouble she onlyhad to appear and it stopped im-mediately. O u r apprehensionabout what it would be likeproved unfounded. Outside itwas bitterly cold, but inside itwas warm and friendly; clean andrather bare.

Parts of the building are by nomeans modern as it was foundedin 1915, but all the essentials werethere and it was quite comfort-able. The old men were sittingthere waiting for their supper,while the younger ones werebeing allowed in one by one andcarefully checked to see thatthey were not staying too longand that they genuinely could notafford to pay for their keep.

Perhaps this gives the wrong

impression as the atmospherewas always friendly and the rulesare usually elastic, althoughobviously some checks must bemade.

Supper was being cooked in thekitchen in vast pans. It was adelicious-looking stew of meatand vegetables and masses ofpotatoes followed by bread andjam and tea. In the morning theywould have breakfast of porridgeand bread and tea. The dining-room was large and bare, withsmall tables for about four men.After the meal they could sit andread or watch television insitting-rooms which were quitecomfortable. As soon as theycame in most of the men wouldwash or have a bath. There is hotwater the whole time a n dfacilities for washing clothes.There were two large dormitoriesand each bed is Jn a separatecubicle. Mass is celebrated regu-larly in the shelter’s chapel butalthough the atmosphere isCatholic, no one has ever beenrefused admission because of hisreligion and no one is forced toattend services. If a man is badlyin need of new clothes the Societywill provide these too, for suit-able clothes are collected fromhelpers all over Dublin.

The Legion of Mary provides avery similar type of service, butit makes a small charge. Itcould be argued that this is lessdegrading than to get everythingabsolutely free, and that itenables them to keep some self-respect. Both these organisationsperform a vital function. Therewill always be men who wouldrather do no work and sleep out,but while there is blatant andsometimes unavoidable poverty,charitable institutions such asthese will give men who aretemporarily out of work a chanceto start again and may be thedeciding factor in starting him onthe way to self-respect again.

Visitors can be roughlyclassified by their immediateobjective on entering your draw.ing-room: that is, whether theydive for:

(1) " The Evening Press."

(2) " The Tatler."

(3) The darts-board (or anyother conversation piecethat you happen to havearound).

(4) The sofa.Methods for dealing with these

classes of callers are very simple,and need little experience. Hereis a rudimentary guide:--

Class I is the easiest. Readyour " Evening Press " as soon asyou’ve bought it, and then replacethe inside with the "EveningStandard." Your visitors’ charginat not finding the incomparable" Evening Press" headlines willgive you the laugh they shouldhave got while you weretwiddling your thumbs, andhaving bits of the paper read outto you.

For Class 2 you simply makesure that your sophisticatedgibberish is more sophisticatedthan theirs. Lay in a stock ofphrases to cover all new books,plays, films, fashions and fads." An interesting manifestation of’the human mind with an authen-tic ring of truth," " Symptomaticof the twentieth century," and" Kinky" can be applied to mostthings.

Class 3 is the most difficult ofall. Alternatively you can playPatience and Scrabble until theystop their athletic entertainmentannoyed that you have fot,nd self-sufficient mental diversion; oryou can be completely defeatist,and simply leave the room andgo to bed. Unfortunately, thisleaves you wide open to attackbecause they are likely to comeand look for you, when they atlast realise they are alone in theroom. Perhaps the most simplemethod is to enter into theirgame with tremendous zeal, mis-firing at every throw, gigglingwildly, and blunting the darts onevery picture and light-bulb insight. This excessive enthusiasm

will exasperate them to theextent of giving up their gamealtogether.

The easiest solution to Class 4is to flit around the room busyingyourself with the tiny trivia ofdomesticity. Poke the fire,twiddle with the curtains, go andmake some coffee, re-arrange thehearth-rug and / or flowers /cushions, etc. Preferably ask forhelp and advice at every stage, inorder to stir him from his re-cumbent position. If he still showsno inclination to move by thetime you have run the gamut ofthese tiny doings, you will doubt-less embark on one of thosefutile conversations which are,unfortunately, outside the scopeof this article and run somethinglike this:

Boy: " Come and sit here."Girl: " I’m quite happy here,

thank you."Boy: " Why?"Girl: "1 prefer this chair."Boy: " There’s more room on

the sofa."Girl: " Not with you on it,"

and so on. If you don’t knowwhat to do after that go and askMummy.

Of course all these situationscan be avoided by having a pairof binoculars on an upstairswindow-sill. When the door bellrings you peer out of the windowand then decide whether or notto go down. Alternatively youcan hide in the wardrobe, and letsomeone else answer the bell.Unfortunately, you may be let infor a protracted stay among themoth balls and coat hangers ifthey are invited in for coffee bya sociable Mama who doesn’trealise that this pimpled lout im-pedes rather than helps yoursocial progress. Brothers are skil-ful accomplices: if the caller isunsatisfied with being told rmnot at home, my brother showshim round every corner down-stairs. " You can see she’s nothere," he says, flinging wide theoven door. " Yes," replies theunwanted, peering despondentlyinto the deep freeze.

JOHN ROSS

ON

THE SENATE

The Oireachtas or National Parliament consists of the President, SeanadEireann and Dail Eireann. Of these, Dafl Eireann is the more powerful; theHouse of Commons being its equivalent in the U.K.

Seanad Eireann is of interest to Trinity in that it is to the Senate that theIrish graduates of Dublin University elect three members. These are at present,in the order of the votes cast for each at the last election, Senators, J. N.Ross, W. J. E. Jessop and W. B. Stanford.

Senator Ross is a partner in a Dublin firm of solicitors and the only oneaf our representatives not on the College staff. In the first of two talks withJs he reports on the Senate, its election and constituents.

Next week Senator Ross will continue discussing the Senate’s functionsand suggest possible means of reform.

The Senate consists of sixty members, of whom forty-three are

" Panel members," eleven are nominated by the Taoiseach and six

elected by the graduates of the Irish Universities.

Many people think of the Senate as being primarily a vocational

body, because the great majority of its members are elected from

panels of representatives of such interests as " national language and

culture," " agriculture," " labour," " industry and commerce " and

" public administration."

In spite of forty-three candidates having to come from such groups,

the Senate is very much apolitical rather than a vocational body. This

is because of its system of election which is extraordinary complex.

Each vocational panel is divided into two parts, the Nominating Bodies’

Sub-Panel and the Oireachtas Sub-Panel. In the Nominating Bodies’

Sub-Panel, although many candidates are nominated by outside bodies,

for example the R.DS., the Incorporated Law Society and the IrishT.U.C., it is rare for a candidate to be elected unless he is alreadyknown to have given his allegiance to a political party.

In the Oireachtas Sub-Panelcandidates are nominated by fourmembers of the Oireachtas andinevitably almost all these nomin-ations are members of politicalparties. The electorate itself iswholly political. It consists ofthe members of the incomingDail, the outgoing Senate and theCouncils of the Counties andCounty Boroughs in Ireland. atotal of about 870 electors.

As all the electorate aremembers of bodies organised onparty lines it is almost impossiblefor an Independent of even thehighest expext standing in hisown field to be elected for aPanel unless he had strong partybacking.

" The Taoiseach’s eleven " areusually members of his own partyappointed too often as a rewardfor past political services or as aconsolation for failing to get intothe Dail at a General Election.In the last inter-party Govern-ment, a notable effort was madeto break away from this practiceand appoint some distinguishedfigures in legal, banking and otherspheres. The experiment has notbeen repeated, but in 1961 Hr.Lemass (already having a largemajority for his own party in theSenate) did appoint two In-dependents, Senator Cole, agraduate of Trinity, and SenatorSheldon, a former Dail deputyfor Donegal whose constituencyhad disappeared in the re-shuffleof Dail constituencies.

Of the six University Senators,three represent Dublin Universityand three the National Uni-versity of Ireland. Any Irishgraduate over twenty-one is en-titled to vote. The vote takesplace by postal ballot, paperscoming in from all over theworld. A very high percentageof graduates vote.

It sometimes happens inNational University elections thatcandidates go tlp on a partyticket, but this has neverhappened in Trinity as long asI can remember, althoughoccasionally a candidate has beena member of a political party. Allthe present Trinity members areIndependents.

One of the stock jokes inSenate debate comes when some-one says, " There are no partieshere," but on occasions it is veryclear that the party whips are on,particularly when the Govern-ment is anxious to push througha b iil without amendment.This happens too i:requentlytowards the end of July and inearly August when the Dail hasalready risen for the Vacation,and Ministers are anxious not toput Senate amendments back tod~e Dail when it sits again inOctober or November.

Even when the whips are noton, there is rarely a free vote forparty members. In the twoyears I have been in the Senate,

I have never known such anoccasion.

At first glance it is disappoint-ing when what might be avocational body turns out to bea political one, but having seen itat work, I think it essential thatthe Senate remains primarily apolitical body. If there werecompletely free scope for everymember to vote as he wishedwithout party allegiance, littlelegislation would be enacted. Onthe other hand the Senate wouldbenefit considerably if the elec-torate were to pay more atten-tion to the intellectual calibre ofthe panel candidates instead ofentirely to their party allegiances.

If the Senate does to someextent reflect the Dail, it is morethan just a pale shadow ofit. Sometimes political debatesare duplicated, but as a body itjustifies its existence. Amend-ments which fail in the roughand tumble atmosphere of theDail are sometimes acceptedby the Government possibly insome slightly different form whenput forward in the quieter atmos-phere of the Senate. Occasion-ally a technical Bill gets a betterhearing in the Senate than in theDell. This was noticeably so inthe debate on the Trade MarksBill last year when a numberof Senate amendments wereadopted by the Government. Eventhe enormous Companies Billwhich was rushed through aSpecial Committee of the Senatewas improved by three amend-ments.

The Senate also has power notonly to amend and delay non-money Bills for n!nety days but toimtlate Bills. Two Bills havebeen initiated quite recently. Onewas the Health (Homes for In-capacitated Persons) Bill) intro-duced by the Government as theresult of a Labour Party motionin the Senate to regulate the con-ditions in nursing homes run forprofit. The other a private Billintroduced by Senator Stanfordentitled "Protection of Animals(Amendment) Bill" to bring thelaw on the treatment of animaisup to date.

ELECTION DAYLast Wednesday morning, as I

froze outside a polling boothsomewhere in Kildare, I pre-dicted a low poll, a bitter contest,and a Fine Gael victory. I waswrong on all three counts.

Despite freezing weather andlowering grey skies w h i c hthreatened snow all day, Kildarehad a 73 per cent. poll, and Cork70 per cent. Fianna Fail wonboth contests convincingly, andat least in Kildare the contestwas fought in a spirit of remark-able tolerance and forbearance.Supporters of all three partieschatted amicably around the poll-ing booth or foregathered inpubs. Grounds for agreementrather than disagreement weresought.

In two-party gatherings, theTurnover Tax was disapproved ofby Fine Gael and Labour; Blue-shirts denounced by Fianna Failand Labour, and socialism con-demned by Fianna Fail and FineGael. In three-party meetingsthe prevailing sentiment was" Well, we’re all Irishmen, aren’twe? What are you havin’?"

At last I0 p.m. came, and thelast old lady had been told to puta 1 (not an X) opposite theappropriate candidate. " Y e s,ma’am, Mr. Norton is handsome,as you say." Then there wasnothing to do but wait.

On Thursday afternoon about4.30 the news was circulating inLeinster House, by the 6.30 newsthe country knew it. Fianna Failhad swept home with an in-creased vote in both contests.Labour had made modest gains,although still running third, whileFine Gael had slumped dis-astrously. For Sean Lemass itwas a great personal triumph. Hisgovernment has now successfullyweather the controversial Turn-over Tax. The electorate re-sponded generously to the 12 percent. wage agreement. He is nowsafe until October, 1966, unlesshe chooses to consult the elec-torate on his own terms before-hand, and he still has the Budgetto come if he still has secondthoughts on his recent generosity.

After a period of re-groupingand expansion, the failure of theLabour Party to significantlyincrease their vote must beascribed to a failure of communication. Their T.V. programmewas unimaginative, and the effe~tiveness of photogenic and articu,late candidates was thus impaired¯Thew only direct newspapersupport came from such organsas the "Southern Star" (incor-porating the " Skibbereen Eagle")which could not compete withthe massive power of the " IrishPress" and the "Irish In-dependent."

Mr. Dillon’s brand new polic?made little impression, and hisparty lost out completely. Thereason for this would appear tobe his inept handling of the non-confidence motion last December,and the general failure of FineGael to be a constructiveopposition. An interne! upheavalin the party would appear to beimminent, in face of what wasprobably their greatest setbacksince 1932. Mr. Dillon will belucky if he is not made the scape-goat, and his leadership chal-lenged. If present trends con-tinue, Mr. Corish is well on hisway to his immediate objective,which is to lead the opposition.Fianna Fall’s move to the left isbeing taken seriously, perhaps tooseriously, by the general public.

AntiquesSir,--I would like to correct

one small point in your accountof the Art Society’s group ofantiques enthusiasts. Althoughas you suggest this and mcst ofthe activities of the Society areinformal, there is one formalityon which we have to insist---the5/- subscription. Lectures, ex-hibitions and magazines for thoseinterested do cost us quite a lotof money.--Yours faithfully,

A. H. Smith, Auditor,

D.U. Art Society.

Behind BuffetSir, -- Perhaps the relevant

authority in College who looksafter the interests of the Buffetcould be persuaded to set downon paper the system by which theBuffet is run, i.e., who thecaterer is, how much the cateringorganisation takes for itself, thecost of food to the caterer,wages, cost to College (sub-sidiary), etc.

Then those who are dissatisfiedwith the service offered candecide whether or not theircriticisms are well-founded. --Yours, etc.,

English ill TrinitySir,--I feel I must express a

resentment i have with theattitude of certain E n g I i s hstudents in our midst towards theIrish. it is an extremely foolishattitude of superiority, c~n-descension and faint amusement,and is amply illustrated by thedescription of us as " these bogIrish men" shrieked by onesupercilious young female to herlover in the vicinity of theButtery. Though these peopleshould never be taken seriously,I would like to point out to themthac they are at a truly Irish Uni-versity (and not the last remnantof British occupation in Ireland),and that if they used a little moretact some of the hostility feltagainst Trinity outside theCollege walls might be dispelled.--Yours faithfully,

BRIDGE" THE FRIENDLY GROUP"

Galway,, 1964

Players: R. Burwood and A.Godfrey, Miss T. O’Connor andj. Orange, Miss J. Brodie and P.Stoken, Miss C. Burns and D.Burns.

For the fifth year in successionno Trinity bridge team has wonthe Friendship Trophy (the inter-university Bridge Cup)- apartfrom their drinking habits theyare truly the egregious set. TheUniversity has found it impossibleto field its full team in this eventfor each of the last three years.For the apologists this is asufficient excuse. I would venturehowever that, for their finishingfourth out of eight, the founda-tion is most insubstantial.

Special credit goes to theperpetators of two successfulblunders--Trissa O’Connor, on

TRINITY NEWS February 27th, 1964

finding herself in an impossiblethree heart contract, by makinga bloomer at the second trick,managed to pull off an otherwisehopeless coup. Richard Bur-wood (suffering the after-effectsof the previous evening’s socialdrinking) accidently opened witha Benjamin two heart bid on fourpoints and a five card suit to theknave. On being doubled, he re-sorted to the Kock-Werner re-double, shrieking to partner(Tony Godfrey) for a take-out.Godfrey passed! Due to a mixup in the opposition’s suitpreference signals, the King,Queen, ten, nine and six of heartsin one opponent’s hand, andtwelve Hilton work points in theother, failed to take more thanfive tricks. This tragi-comedybecame Trinity’s great triumph ofthe week.

Alcoholically (not in any dic-tionary), Trinity was withoutpeer; last to bed and late at thetables, we surpassed our wildestexpectations to the extent of out-pacing Queen’s whiskey-drinkingIslandic genius, Egert.

Bridge will, I fear, remain forus but a frivolous sortie throughunmapped terrain, an excuse fora drink; and, for the ambitious, asocial asset.

THE WALK, 1964

How about walking 103 miles?Last year about 60 people set

out from Belfast; most of themen ended up in pubs scatteredalong the route. (These stopsshould not be too prolonged aswalking itself may become theproblem--never mind 103 miles.)

You will probably be satisfiedwith your performance until you

find that a woman has gonefurther than you--probably with-out the spiritual encouragement.(Last year a woman went thewhole way in 39 hours!) Thereare always plenty of people tokeep you company and cars withfree refreshments (non-alcoholic)pass every few minutes.

It is hoped that a stage per-sonality will start the race fromthe City Hall, Belfast, at 9 a.m.on Saturday, 25th April. Thereis full press and T.V. coverage.

For those in a hurry, the recordis 27½ hours and last year six in-dividuals completed the distance.It is hoped that the women’srecord of 39 hours will be hotlychallenged and we hope tohave keen competition betweenwomen’s relay teams (three ineach team).

Enter now on the Athletics’board at Front Gate. There will,of course, be special prizes forall those who finish and 64 pintsof Guinness for the winner.

Trinity were victorious in boththe men’s and ladies’ sections ofthe Irish Universities’ TableTennis Championships held in theGym last week-end. Trinity de-fe~ted U.C.D. in the first roundand defeated Queen’s University,Belfast, by 9 matches to 6 in avery exciting final. Ken Peare,Les. Parkinson, Stan Birch and, inthe ladies’ section, Pamela Thorpeand Linda Henderson won theirmatches and helped Trinity toachieve this remarkable doublevictory.

HOCKEY

In their penultimate leaguematch this season, Trinity weredefeated 3-I by Three RockRovers at Londonbridge Road lastSaturday. The score hardly doesjustice to the Trinity side whogave their best performance forsome time, and the fast, hardgame was especially welcome inview of the forthcoming MauritiusCup competition.

At first it seemed as thoughThree Rock would overwhelm therather uncertain Trinity defence,but once King settled down atcentre-half, where he was play-ing for the first time this year,the whole side gained from there-found confidence and began tomatch their opponents’ attractiveplay. Nonetheless, Three Rockwere two goals up within twentyminutes, but shortly before half-time Hill reduced the arrearswith a well-taken goal. Thirtyseconds after half-time ThreeRock made the score 3-1 whentheir inside-left scored a beauti-fully-taken goal. Thereafter theresult was never in doubt, butTrinity at times moved with re-freshing cohesion--a considerablechange from recent games.

Individuals who played well in-cluded goal-scorer Hill, and it wasunfortunate that for the last 20minutes he was a passenger onthe wing, suffering from cramp.Suter, on the right wing, usuallyhad the beatiqg of his wing-half,and Stiven again covered milesat full-back, tackling and dis-tributing with his usual con-fidence. If the players can beginto re-discover their faith in them.serves, they might well sur-prise the Jeremiahs who hay-being prophesying destruction irEngland.

Sailin tFoiiowing the wrecking of

Delphis last summer the SailingClub has new purchased anotheriqermaid from Mr. Vincent Galvin

of the National Yacht Ciub; sheis in excellent condition andshould give some good racing tiffssummer. She shou!d by this timebe down ac tbe boat store.

Ti,e Fireflies are now almostready for sailing, widl one or twonotable e;-ceptions arnong theBeachcombers, and trials areplanned to start tiqs week-end

for all those who reckon them-selves to be capable helmsmen--so if you aspire to a place in ateam watch the notice board atkron!: r- v~ate.

The two Fh’efiy events in whichTrinity will be participating dur-ing the vacation are the BritishUniversities’ Sailing Associationmeeting at Southport (24th-25thblarch) and the AssociatedNorti~ern Universities’ S.C. meet-ing, this year to be held at DunLaoghaire on the 2nd-3rd April,with the Irish Universities actingas hosts. This is the first timethat the latter has been held inireland, and as Trinity have been

the winners for the past fouryears, it is a doubly importantmeetinr~.

On the Jest Monday of term atalk will be giver,, to the SailingClub on the "Inland Waterwaysof Ireland" by D. P. O’Clery,Esq., and will be illustrated bya film. Time and place will beposted.

At the beginning of next term.probably within the first week,the A.G.M. will be held. Anyonewho wants to sail this year,whether old hand or new, shouldattend this meeting, whenmembership cards will be givenout, names taken for sailing andinstruction, and a general briefingon the "do’s and don’t’s " of sail-ing will be given.

Boxing g\iubThe Irish Universities’ Senior

Championships were held inGalway on February 22nd, Galwaywinning the Gilmore Cup throughmight of numbers, but U.C.D.with four winners out of fiveentries put up the best teamperformance.

For Trinity, Sam McBrameywas unlucky to meet Colbert, lastyear’s U.C.D. captain, in thesemi-final and, although beaten,put up an encouraging perform-ance against such an experiencedopponent.

Ben Orbiagele found O’Keefe,the Irish junior chhampion, tooelusive for him. He was unableto hang one of his bombshells onhim and was ~topped in the thirdround.

John Hodgson and D a v eBuchanan were both defeated inthe finals, while Bert Schwartzretired at the end of the firstround against Murtagh, theGalway captain. It was not inthe last final of the evening thatTrinity’s face was slightly saved’,,,hen the captain, boxing atr,-~iddle-weighc, disposed of his

SOCCER

’lrri,,ity lose Cricket ProspectsIn a match which equalled the

ruby internationl in both excite-ment ar, d scoring, Trinity werebeaten in their A.U.L leaguematch 6-3 by the I.G.B.C. Thisresult was perhaps rather unfo:-tu~:ate as for long periods Trinitywere on top and led 3-2 at half-time, ti~anks to goals from Parry,Shaw and A. ,kleldrum. Shortlyafterwards , r~.,o.B.~.. went aheadwith two wail-taken goals, froma free-kick and the other from aheader. Then followed an in-t’Iiguing 30 minues in which playswung from one end to the otherand with better ~nJshing Trinitycould have won themselves quiteeasi!y, as K.yinaston and Parr),,both had arnpfe opportunities.in the last five minutes, with"/"iormeH limping, I.G.B C. brokeaw:_y to score two flatteringgoals. Agood entertaining matchplayed in bad conditions, bu~ inthe best of spirit, and one whichwas not so disastrot, s as fourregular p!ayers were missing.

Howard Markham has hadfurther honours bestowed uponhim. He is to represent theA.U.L. inter-league team in amatch a~ainsr the A m a t e u rLeague on Friday ni£ht a~ Daly-.mottos’ Park.

~,U igOTOR CLUB

IViflh# l)’iai.Ylie biotor Club created an ali-

irish record last Friday with theirGlencree Night Trial--there wereno fimshers. An extrely originalroute was found by the ThreeMusketteers, Messrs. E. Push, D.Morton and C. Doherty, over 140miles of main roads, secondaryroads and boreens in Co. Wicklowand Co. Wexford. Competitorswere required to maintain anaverage of 27 m.p.h, on publicroads and speeds of between 40and S0 m.p.h, on closed roadsbelonging to the Forestry Com-mission.

Difficult navigation coupledwith conditions of heavy rain,snow and mist made these speedsnear impossible, with the resultthat no one reached the finishnear Ballymore Eustace within thetime limit.

However, special merit awardswill be given to those who didactually complete the course, i.e.,eleven crews out of the forty-oneentraRts.

Results: 1, R. McCartney/T.Harriman (Mini Cooper 5), 1920;2, L. Vard’T. Tilson (MiniCooper 5), 3095: 3, N. Rathbone/A. Parke (TR3A), first D.U.member, 4105; 4, J. Emerson/J.Millard; S, J. McCosh/S. Shil-iington; 8, M. McMullen/J. B.$irnmonds; l l, B. Corbally/L.Goor,

Regrettably, Mr. S. O’Croganand Paddy Hopkirk did not drivein this event.

During the winter the M.C.C.asked the counties in Englandtheir views on extending thes~ason furti~er into September,and starting later in Iqay. Wid~the re-organisation of cerrns inthe academic year, Trinity CricketXi now find ti~emselves expectedto begin playing in mid-April,never the warmest period of theyear, and especially damp inireland. Seam bowlers, batsmenstrong on the back foot andseveral sweaters seem to be whatwill be most called upon nextterm.

Having won the Leinster Cupfor the past three years, tl~e high-light of the season will un-doubtedly be the attempt tocreate an all-time record with zfourth consecutive success. Thereseems no reason why this shouldnot be accomplished for, of last

Horsley certainly has problemsin deciding who to take on theEaster tour. So far Mackeown

has not handled a recquet as heis too preoccupied with golf andhe is further limited by examswhich are depriving the team ofthe services of Peter Haughton.But with a nucleus of Avory,Ledbetter and Graham thereseems every likelihood of theresults being better than on thecorresponding tour two yearsago.

year’s team, only three are nolonger available, all of whomwere seam bowlers, of whichTrinity has a super-abundance, in-ciuding three 2rid Xl players whooften appeared in the first tearnlast year.

Howard Markham is captainthis yea!" and he should haveplenty of talent to choose from.Unlike many other clubs inTrinity, the Cricket Club has agiaxy of reserve players remain-ing from last year’s powerfulsecond team. As it is a well-known fact that most batsmenfrom England take some time toso:tie down on Irish wickets, onedoes not expect to see any JuniorFreshman make the first team thisyear’, but the experience gainedby p!aying in the lower teams fora season or so is great enough tooffset any damaged ambitionsHowever, if there are any aspir-ing spin bowlers in Trinity (any-where), perhaps they might beinduced to appear in the nets,which begin the week before nextterm starts. Prospects, therefore,for next season are good, and itwill be a disappointment it thesun fails to shine. Cricket needsspectators at all levels, as muchin Trinity as at Lords; but how-ever attractive the action, noth-ing counteracts g?ey skies andcold winds.

SEX--

OLD AND NEWYour layman correspondent was bored to death at a meeting of

the College Theological Society on Monday night. Any hopes oftitillation held out by the sexy posters advertising a paper on theNew Morality were rapidly dashed--theology is a serious business.

The meeting began, appropriately enough, with a prayer to Godto " keep us devout within our bodies and within our souls." justto show that they were all quite lively lads real~y a point of order wasraised which resulted in the offender being fined 3d. Having disposedof this, there was a purposeful settling down in seats, and under thebenevolent eye of three clergymen, Mr. Kingston read his paper.

Good Day at

BlackrockA decisive battle in t h e

fight for students’ rights waswon last Saturday night when theLaurentians met the BlackrockLiterary and Debating Society onthe verbiage-strewn fields ofrhetoric. The Blackrock Society,which represents a fair cross-section of adult Dublin opinion,opposed the motion that " Irelandis not sympathetic to t h estudent."

For the Trinity side, JulianHennessey gave a clear picture ofthe appalling difficulties underwhich the university studentlabours. He described U.C.D. as"the crowning achievement of40 years of Irish governmentalpolicy." Peter Bristow gave thephilosopher’s outlook on studentsand their needs: " You are theelectorate responsible for theproper government of t h i scountry, in the hands of whoserulers lies the task of educatingparents and citizens." BrendaKelliher put forward the viewsof women students and theirposition and status in a univer-sity. Appealing against t h efrightening indifference of Irishemployers to graduates lookingfor a job, Victor O’Reilly said:" Sympathy is a feeling of good-will and of liking, but what useis it when students are deniedthe bare necessities? Ireland,while these conditions obtain,cannoL be sympathetic to thestudent."

The motion was carried by 25votes to 9.

The Laurentian Society’s nextmeeting is in Regent House to-night, when Irving Cheslow,First Secretary to the U.S.Embassy, will speak on "TheU.S. and Europe." A polemical

Clock-In

CindersA new attempt it to be made

in Trinity Hall to regulate thesystem of late-leave, with the in-troduction of a factory clockwhich automatically records theexact time of signature. It ishoped that this will eventuallydispense with the need to retaina night porter to established thatal! persons are safely inside. Itwill also prevent tile making oflast-minute ’phone calls for per-mission to stay out late.

Since machines are notoriouslyunresponsive to female charms,the horrors of being late willbecome even more awe-inspiring.

General reaction seems one ofcynical acceptance: it appears tobe yet another move towards thesocial isolation of the " Hail Girl."

The content of the paper’,which was at times rebellious,had difficulty in appearingthrough the delivery, which wasin the worst tradition of pulpitmonotony. There was a greatdeal of quotation, and the let-us-say-with-St. Paul technique wassomewhat overworked. T h eessayist quoted St. Augustine’sconfessions, in which he de-scribed the callous dismissal of awoman who had been his wife inall but name, and concluded that" Christian morality as we see itin the twentieth century includesmuch that was absent in the firstcentury." The difference betweenMoses and Jesus was that theformer had enacted laws, whereasthe latter had stated principles,and lifted sex life from the purelyphysical level to give it sanctityand greatness. There was still atendency in the Christian church,however, to expound m a n-selected Law in the name of God,and there was no rule on divorcewhich could be fully described asChristian.

This was sound stuff, and Mr.Kingston went on to say thatthere was no such thing as theNew Morality--what we werebeing asked to do was to con-sider morality in terms of theLaw of Love. There was a well-developed theology of sex on thenegative side, but more than pro-hibition was necessary, and weought to say (with St. Paul) "Iwill show you a more excellentway."

Mr. Kingston was followed byMr. Sayers, who was making hismaiden speech. Far from lookingrile raw novice, he might havebeen heaving himself into thepulpit for the umpteenth time,and again the GIB rang with theconfident tones of piety. Mr’.Sayers went a long way with theessayist, but was more conserva-tive by nature and thought thatsomething more was needed byway of Law. There was a dread-ful thing called Liberal Upbring-ing, and it seemed that thewarped victims of this processwere practically beyond re-demption. This promising foraymay well have led to what isusually called a "lively dis-cussion," but by that time yourcorrespondent was not there.

Anti-ApartheidOn Monday and Tuesday a

street collection was made fordie Christian Action Defence andAid Fund. Despite some un-certainty as to where the moneywas going, the Dublin public con-~ributed over £12 on the firstday.

No Daytime Digs

" The article in ’ Frimty News ’about the Board’s investigationsinto the possibility of bed andbreakfast lodgings conveyed thewrong impression," Dr. Moodysaid last Friday. "Perhaps thereport was misled by the word-ing of the circular sent to !and-ladies which did not expressexactly the intention of the Com-mittee looking into this matter.The Committee is still sitting andis conducting extensive investi-gations into the possibility ofextending the classes of lodgingsfor students permitted by theBoard to include, not only thepresent set-up for digs, but alsoan additional class which willcontain lodgings where only bedand breakfast is provided. Thisought to enlarge the number ofhouses open to student lodgers,as many more people will be will-ing to provide digs that requireonly a minimal amount of house-work."

The Reason Why(Continued from Front Page).

The inefficiency which existedbefore then was quite intolerable.Now Buffet runs smoothly in themain and the cost of the improve-ment has had to be passed on tosome degree to the student. Wemust remember that this is not awelfare state and that Trinity isnot part of any affluent society.

Remembering all these thingsand remembering, too, wage in-creases and the turnover tax,prices would not seem unreason-able if the quality was good. MissKerr can demonstrate that shebuys only top quality meat andvegetables. We must, therefore,look into the cooking to findwhat goes wrong.

Any specific complaints willalways be looked into, but ingeneral complaints are not made.There is merely a moaning aboutthe low standards with no realevidence produced. In any case,quality is always a matter of in-dividual taste and what one findsrevolting another will thoroughlyenjoy.

How, then, can the situation beimproved? Some specific com-plaints about the vegetables and~he potatoes, the ventilation ofthe dining halls, and the lack ofdrinking water are at presentbeing examined, if some studentsdid not steal cutlery and crockeryto the value of about £100 eachterm prices could be lower foreverybody. At present also sixstaff are employed clearing tables.This could be done by thestudents themselves, but when=his was tried two years ago fewpeople responded to requests toremove their own trays. Six lesswages could also help to lowerprices.

To some extent ~hen theremedy is in the hands of thestudents. The answer to theBuffet problem is certainly not aboycott. If there was a loss onFriday last as a result of the boy-cott this will only cause furtherfinancial embarrassment. TheAgent is trying to be constructive,now i.: i~ the turn of the students.The question is whethe, they willrespond.

English SchoolExamined

Last week, Proiessor Edwardsannounced his plans for the futureof the English department. Dur-ing the next academic year, hewill be away giving lectures,mainly on sixteenth and seven1teenth century literature, at theUniversity of Michigan. Takinghis place in Trinity for the yearwill be the former Regius Pro-fessor of English at Glasgow,P r o f e s s o r Peter Alexander,whom Professor Edwards regardsas an outstanding scholar andone of the best examiners heknows. Professor Alexander isparticularly authoritative aboutShakespears and has published abook in this field of study.

Next Hilary Term, Dr. T. R.Henn, President of St. Catherine’sCollege, Cambridge, who re-ceived an honorary doctoratefrom Trinity last year, will bepaying the College another visit.He will conduct some extra-curricular seminars as well asgiving some public lectures.

From next term the staff of theEnglish School will be augmentedby the addition of Mr. GeoffreyThurley who has a first classhonours degree. This is a furthermove in the effort to make theEnglish School a highly academicdepartment. It is hoped that itwill expand and that possibly ajoint Philosophy and English Mod.might be devised. Eventually, too,it is hoped that there will be achair of Anglo-Irish literature andthat Trinity will become gener-ally recognised as the specialist inthis field.

Professor Edwards is notworried about obtaining staffwith the necessary qualifications.Many people want to teach here,even though the salaries forjunior lecturers are some £200lower than in Great Britain. Hisproblem is not to attract youngmen but there may be problemsin keeping senior staff. Here theloyalty which Trinity engendersis very important and persuadesmany to refuse better paid jobselsewhere. Generally, in fact, thefuture looks bright and vigorousfor the Department of English.
