Action Expected

SoonThe wave of pilfering in College goes on. Over £160 in cash

and kind was taken last term, largely from rooms and the Collegegymnasium. One student had £46 stolen from his coat pocket in thegym. " Burglaries occur twice or three times each week, and we areat a loss to know what more we can do to prevent them fromhappening," the Agent said. At present the Gardai have plain-clothesdetectives planted all over College, watching especially places to whichthe general public or large numbers of students might have access.

It seem evident that it is the work of a kleptomaniac.The catering facilities in College

have fared badly in what the"Evening Press" calls this" rampage of robberies." Butteryhas been the chief loser, havinghad over one hundred platesstolen from it last term. It wasalso broken into and several ofits windows were smashed. How-ever, the thieves on this occasionmust have been either blind orstupid as only a few pounds weretaken from the till, while therewas a considerably larger sum ofmoney lying in a box under thecounter’. Several tiles weretaken from the Buttery doorway,and somebody managed to puttheir fist through the soundprooftiles in the roof of the cloakroomin Bu fi’e~.

Number Four has sufferedequally badly from hooliganism.The cistern was torn from thewalls of the toilets and shattered.The locks on the doors of theMinor Societies rooms there weresmashed. Even the standard ofwriting on the walls on lavatoriesin College has sunk degradinglylow, and the Agent was obliged toplace this once subtle art in thecategory of infantile vandalism.

stolen from No. 25 and now thatterm has started, with all itsensuing parties, pariahs are oncemore pilfering other people’s in-vitations from the pigeon-holes inWest Theatre and Number 6.

Unfortunately, the College isonly insured against burglary andnot larceny--the difference be-tween the two being that thelatter is a theft committed in aplace by a person who has nolegel right to be there. Thus atheft committed in Trinity bysomeone from outside Collegewould not be compensated for bythe insurance companies. "Theonly effective way to stamp outthis stealing is to raise publicopinion against it," the Agentsaid. "It is incredible thatsupposedly intelligent peopleshould sink to petty thieving andvandalism, surely the most puerileof crimes."

COKERCOLLAPSESAll Dublin boxing supporters

were disappointed by J o h nCoker’s defeat in the semi-finalof the Irish Senior Championshipson Friday night, not only by hisbeing beaten but by the way thathe was beaten, described cruellyby one paper as "A Comedy ofErrors."

The reason for his shock defeatonly emerged at an X-ray examin-ation the next morning, when itwas found that he had a collapsedlung. This was caused, it appears,by being butted in the first roundand it was a near miracle that heeven completed the fight.

A hospital spokesman said that"his left lung has collapsed tothe size of a clenched fist, yethe remains cheerful and should beout of hospital within a fort-night."

This injury is a great setback tohis career for if he had beaten thecurrent international champion,Brogan, he would have had agreat chance to get into theOlympic team. As it is he will be" off sport" for six months.

At the Famlne Relief Week press conference were: )ill Regan, Anne Slattery, Meredith Yates, Jennie Connell andFiona Wright.

Players sweep

the board at

U.D.A.For the third year running,

Players carried off five of the eightmain awards at the Universities’Drama Festival in Belfast inMarch. John Jay’s production of"Cuchulain" won the "IrishTimes" Cup for the best overallpresentation. Players has wonthis cup at each Festival since the" Irish Times" first presented itin 1961.

Max Stafford Clark’s produc-tion of " Double Double" wonthe " Belfast Telegraph " awardfor the best one-act play. MichaelMossesson won the design awardwith his sets for "Cuchculain"and "Double Double." RalphBates won the Best Actor awardas Nimrod and Gimlet in the one-act and the Fool and " Old Poet"in "Cuchulain." The award forthe best supporting actor went toWalter Jones as the Blind Nan,and certificates of merit wereawarded to Constantin de Goguel,Michael Mackenzie, Joanna VanGyseghan and Gill Hanna.

The Festival owed much of itssuccess to the adjudicator, JohnGibson of B.B.C. Television, whohad the ability to pinpoint paricu-lar weaknesses and strength ofevery production. He felt in-suited that he was expected togive awards, and would have pre-ferred the emphasis to be on theopportunity to see other people’swork and learn from it, ratherthan the mammoth "pot hunt"that it is now.

S.R.C-A.G.M.The new S.R.C. Executive for

next year was elected at Monday’sCouncil meeting. The Executivenominees were returned entirelyunopposed -- there was not onesingle opposition candidate forposts. This, the most importantof Council meetings and usuallya sparkling occasion in years past,fell once more under the dreadedhatchet of apathy and pettyquibbling. In spite of a fairlygood attendance there was adistinct lack of intelligent dis-cussion on the radical new con-stitution. Malcolm Saunders waselected as President for 1964/65.

In his report on S.R.C.activities in the past year, thePresident, J. Michael Newcombe,said that liaison with the Collegeauthorities had been better thanever before, due largely to thewillingness on the part of theAgent and other College officersto turn to the S.R.C. for consul-tation. Non- participation byS.R.C. in the Buffet boycott wasdue to the fact that theExecutive did not believe that aboycott was the way to get thingsdone; also they felt that theAgent was perfectly reasonable inhis attitude towards investigatingthe whole matter. Relations withU.S.I. had been good, he said, dueto a large extent to Mr. Jacobsonbeing on the Executive of bothbodies.

The Treasurer, in his report,said that the S.R.C. had a bankbalance of £105 in spite of a lossof £30 on diaries.

The Executive for 1964-65 willbe: President, Malcolm Saunders;D e p u ty President, LawrenceJacobson; Treasurer: D ecl a nBudd; Secretary, Norah Cook;External Relations Officer,Stephen White. Committee:Moira Williamson, MichaelAdams, Patrick Anger, JohnGoodwillie.

Stay BrightIf you’re White

Early last March, two Trinitystudents were attacked outside ofDan’s Cafe at Kelly’s Corner.The reason for the assault wasthat the girl was Indian. Of thefour young toughs, two werepositively identified by t h estudents. In the ensuing trial,these two were both sentencedto three months in a reformatory.

The girl, however, is still notfree from harassment. On severaloccasions on her way home to herdigs near Kelly’s Corner in theevening she has been threatenedand insulted by the two youthsshe was unable to identify. Herrequest to the Gardai for a manto patrol her street was refused.However, she was told at thelocal police station " to tell us assoon as anything happens."

"Any attempt to raise money for charity must be welcomed, for itis almost a responsibility that we, in the prosperous sector of theworld, should help those less fortunate than ourselves."

This sentiment will be blazed at students and University towns-people during every Rag Week during the coming months, it will beduplicated in handout; releasesd to the Press; spoken piously, witheyes turned to future employers, by members of committees andcommittees of members, until the indoctrination is complete. Aslong as the money is raised--damn the methods used.

The notorious freedom that a Charity Week affords has not beenmisused here. We have been spared any repetition of last year’s hoaxkidnapping of the Belfast Beauty Queen, and its subsequent super-imposed photographs and "exclusive stories." Yet the tremendous hardwork put into the Week by those many sincere people has beenmarred and cheapened by the tasteless, self-seeking motives of a few.In a riot of self-importance they have moved the emphasis away fromcharity over to their own schemes; the object of it all has been for-gotten in a Clay-like personality race, which can only be consideredas highly regrettable.

The survival of College publications depends entirely on the effortand enterprise of their advertising staff. It is an uphill, heart-breakingjob; there is little subsidy given; there are no Union bar profits tocount on, but it does mean that they are run wholly by students and,therefore, student publications. The pre-publication publicity for"Yes" can only be described as a " literary" crusade against a largely"bolshy " community. Was it really necessary to spend that muchtime and money? Surely if the magazine is good enough it will sellitself. But the staff of "Yes " have no financial worries since the wholeof their advertising was done by a professional firm of publishers. Howthat advertising space was sold we hope to describe in the near future.At the moment we can only regard the introduction of a professionalfirm into an amateur field as a move in the wrong direction.

MADProfessor Buchanan’s report

compensates in note for what itlacks in notoriety compared withLord Denning’s and will stand asa fine record of the fact that theEnglish always make their mis-take in full knowledge of theirultimately catastrophic conse-quences out of loyalty to the fineold precept that a penny savedto-day is worth a pound spent to-morrow. But not content withmerely observing England’s mis-takes and far from learning bythem, Ireland generally does herutmost to learn how to makethem too. In a few years’ timeher success in repeating in Dublinthe spectacular chaos of London’straffic will prove to the largelyindifferent world that Ireland thecoming nation has, in glittering,ponderously progressing motor-cade, arrived.

Meanwhile, Dublin is yet afair city, built in perfect tasteby a generation of aristocraticaesthetes unencumbered by suchinconvenient c o n c e p t s ashumanity or even democracy.But tourists’ Dublin of wide,straight streets, of imposinglylong front lawns and tastefulterraces stands in imperialgrandeur upon the face ofDubliner’s Dublin. Tortuouslycornered, cobbled lanes, rankwith horse-piss, conceal her hole-in-corner industries and househer workers.

Imagine the impact of affluenceon this. The car must inevitablycome in its marvellous hordes toIreland. The iron locust is nigh,his prophet has spoken and israised in pomp upon the pro-fessorial chair, his words receivedin reverent indifference by themighty of the land. There is stilltime to learn from him here. TheCorporation could impose a far-sighted plan that would preservethe best of the city and controlits development so as to allow forthe explosion in motor popula-tion. But the demands of freeenterprise and our complete lackof any other kind of enterprisemake it inevitable that Dublinwill grow as cancerously as anyother European city and, like anyother cancer, will ultimately re-quire far more drastic treatmentthan would have been necessaryto forestall it. The lesson of" Traffic in Towns" is clear andundisputable, have a good lookover the cliff before you jump off.

Sussanah York and Albert Finney in "Tom Jones"

Cinema Interruptus

THE WORLD OF TOM JONES

--Photo "’ Irish Times"at the Savoy.

BALLET ANDPOETRY

PLAYERS (Thursday, April 16)

This programme of ballet andpoetry was one of the most in-

Woodfail’s " holiday " film," Tom Jones," has at last sneakedpast the Appeal Board censorsand is now showing at the Savoy;four minutes of it got lost in thesneaking.

Two things mar its arrival inDublin. Firstly, the colour qualityof the rehearse print is waybelow what the film deserves; inplaces it is so dark that the nightscenes are almost invisible. Itseem a pity that a film with four" Oscars " should be shown in thiscondition. Secondly, the censorhas been unnecessarily brutal withone or two important parts of thefilm. Granted that it might havebeen irrelevant to show Finneyand Joan Greenwood in bedtogether, but to cut out thedelightful innuendo of Torn andMrs. Wetters eating at Uptonamounts almost to sacrilege. Apicture of the act is one thing,but the suggestion of it is quiteanother.

" Tom Jones" is a light filmfull of good-humoured bawdinessand mild vulgarity; the wholestyle of the picture is intended toentertain. The complicated series

of wipes, fades, crises and frozen-frames is frankly gimmicky, butwhen the story itself is contrived,these de,vices only accelerate theaction, never deaden it.

Again, the use of hand-heldcameras in the hunt scene enablesthe director (Tony Richardson)to give pace and confusion to ascene which is inherentlyconfused.

Tom, the hub of the story,played by Albert Finney, is suit-ably naive and charming; he pro-vides a fitting victim for the con-niving Blifil (David Warner), theearthly Molloy (Diane Cilento)and the outrageously coarseSquire Weston (Hugh Griffith).Tom’s adventures are always theproduct of either other people’sdesires or his own lack of control;he is never vicious and always hasour sympathy. The outcome ofthe story, by virtue of its presen-tation, is never in doubt; thus themachinations of the villains canalways be laughed at. All roundexcellent performances togetherwith slick direction and ingeniousediting make " Tom Jones" wellworth a visit.

teresting productions in Collegethis year, on many accounts. Itwas the first production of balletin Trinity and the first attempt byRoger Luke at choreography. Italso provided an opportunity ofseeing some of the dancers of thenow defunct Irish National Ballet.Unforunately, the almost com-plete absence of advertisingresulted in an audience of onlytwenty.

The poetry reading was severelyhandicapped by the narrow topicchosen for the evening, "TheRose." In several instances thepoems appeared to have beenselected with insufficient thoughtfor their integration with theballet. This was particularlyapparent in Douglas Henderson’sreading which would have beenimproved with more concentra-tion on the Metaphysical poets.Leonie Leslie’s choice was morein sympathy with the ballet andshe obviously enjoyed readingSitwell.

The principal ballet, " TheNightingale and the Rose," illus-trated Luke’s imaginative abilityalthough the lack or rehearsal wasoccasionally obvious. Lorraine

THE CARDINALOtto Preminger directs " The

Cardinal," which is based onHenry Morton Robinson’s bestselling novel, tracing the careerof a priet from his ordination inRome in 1917 until he isappointed a Cardinal during theSecond World War.

From the technical angle, thereis little one can fault. Thecamera work and colours areexcellent and the performancesare all of a very high standard,although I woulld have preferredTom Tryan, in the title rGle, tohave presented the Cardinal withmore emphasis on character thanexample. John Huston gave anespecially good performance asthe shrewd but humane Arch-bishop of Boston.

Unfortunately the same standard

is not apparent in either the sub-ject matter or its treatment. Thefilm states almost every questioninvolved in 2Oth century Catholic-ism and then skates over it.Amongst others, we are intro-duced to the question of mixedmarriages, whether in childbirthto save the mother or the child,the Church’s view on segregationa n d her relationship w i t hTotalitarian governments, butthese introductions are notcarried to any real conclusion.

With so much emphasis on thedogma of the Roman CatholicChurch and scarcely any mentionof the inner spiritual quality ofthe religion, there is liEle towhich people outside the RomanCatholic Church will warm.

Harriet Turton.

McGilligan, as the " Nightingale,"danced superbly, but the atmos-phere was marred by a lack ofsympathy with her partner.

The modern ballet, " Roses2000," a fantasy based on " Elec-tronic Movements " by Disselvelt,was by far the most exciting pieceof the evening. The dancers,especially Joan Mayne, showed amuch greater harmony with themusic than in their earlier work.

The production of this interest-ing new venture should giveencouragement to any dancers inCollege and the idea of forminga ballet group may now gainfavour. Michael Shiels.

GARBOAt the Ambassador

In case anyone ilasn’t noticedduring the last few weeks, theAmbassador has been showing aseries of films which star thecinema’s greatest enigma, GretaGarbo. What qualities did thisyoung Swedish girl possess inorder to become the outstandingfilm actor or her day? The onlyanswer to this problem is to takea walk down O’Connell Streetand see for one’s self. Probablythe most i:amous of all her filmsis " Ninotchka," in which Garboplays the chief planning officer ofa Russian delegation sent to Paristo recover the Crown Jewelswhich were stolen during theRevolution and which are indanger of being sold or pawned.This film shows an equal balancebetween pathos and r i baldcomedy, and also the politicalconflict faced by the Bolshevikswhen they are confronted by theill-gotten gains of Capitalism.

"Marie Walewska" tells thestory of the rereat from Moscowby Napoleon, played by CharlesBoyer, and his relationship withthe wife (Garbo) of an ageingPolish count. She deifies Napoleon

as the saviour of the Polish peoplein their struggle for freedom fromthe Cossacks. The clever, spec-tacular work is probably thebiggest tear-jerker of them all.

In "Camille," Garbo plays alady of easy virtue who is thefocal point of an eternal triangle.The other two vertices appear inthe form of a young upper-classservant, played by Robert Taylor,and an older, sauver suitor playedby Lionel Barrymore.

The other films in the seasonare "Anna Karenina," whichagain concerns Garbo in the midstof dichotomy between the goodyoung man and the not sogood older man, and "QueenChristina."

Next week, the Ambassadorare to show one of these filmseach day, so that viewers can seethose they have missed or mightlike to see again. They are allworth watching, as are thecartoons which form the support-ing programme.

OUR AFRICAN CORRESPONDENT WRITES

Tea Time in TangierThere were five bodies littered

around a pitch-black room of asqualid hotel in the Arab quarterof Tangier. Occasionally theyemitted cries of ecstasy, screamsof terror and grunts, but most ofthe time they simply lay in silence.They had been there for a week.Every now and then peoplebrought food in for them. Oneof them in a more articulatemoment tried to warn me thatthe hotel was about to bedevoured by a great black dogwith pink spots and yellow fangs,and the size of ten elephants.

These five were taking cochaineand opium and it is quite likelythat they were still there in thesame room a month afterwardsor, alternatively, convicted dopeaddicts in their respectiveEuropean countries.

Hasheesh is the name given inTangier to the ground stem androots of a plant called Indianhemp. The most notable effectof smoking this is a couldn’t-care-less feeling of well-being, oftenaccompanied by laughter. One’ssensitivity is heightened in taste,vision and touch. For instance, ajam sandwich or a chocolatebiscuit tasting like ambrosia. Onebecomes aware of small, unusualthings like the pattern of threadsin one’s trousers, or the delicatestructure of petals on a flower.Moreover it has a minor hallucin-atory effect. Once I looked intoa jar of pea-nut butter and wasconvinced that I was looking firstat mud and then at excretion.

Again, I once had a picture ofmyself water-skiing in the air,towed by two aeroplanes, and ofbeing split apart, like an apple,by the two strings. Sometimes,too, new and clear ideas areevoked. I once came to realisethat to an extent people may beintegral personalities, howeverdiffuse and mixed up their in-dividual characteristics, simply byunderstanding themselves. Thisvery understanding links all thediffuse parts into a united whole.

Marijuana also comes fromIndian hemp, but from the leavesrather than the stem. Its effectsare very similar to those ofhasheesh, but it is rather morepowerful and causes in additionsex and colour sensations. I wasonce smoking it in a Moroccanhome with two Arabs, from along and finely carved pipe. Atfirst I felt a sensual, silky warmthcreep up my thighs, then thescarlet of the satin seat coversbegan to leap up like flamebefore me, the Arabs’ dark facesbecame twisted and gnarled, andthe whole room span in a mist ofred and brown. Often, indepen-dent of outside stimuli, one getsstrong colour sensations, usuallyrich, warm ones, such as orange,pink and red. One misty night afriend and I were walking alongby a canal and we felt as if wehad to battle, swim and strugglethrough the foggy darkness;although we were walking at anormal speed it seemed as if weonly covered two or three yards

aminute. Another time l felt thehard, glass-like shape of myselfin the mirror, and could makelove to it. The emotional andintuitive side of one’s nature isheightened, while the intellectualand rational side is subdued. Itis often possible to sense veryclearly what another person isfeeling, but impossible to carrythrough a Iogcial train of thoughtoneselL

There is a certain cough syrup,taken in large quantities, whichhas a doping effect. A single bottleis not as strong as two marijuanacigarettes, but it has the advan-tage of being available on demandat any chemist. It produces astate where nothing matters, oneis relaxed and rather drowsy.Literature, and more particularlymusic, become clarified and verybeautiful. Perhaps the most in-teresting sensation I have ex-perienced under it was of being awhite, flame-shaped plant withmany forked, flame-shaped leaves,growing up from a lavatory seat.With this syrup, as with mari-juana and hasheesh, time is mean-ingless and irrelevant.

Against taking these drugs itmay be said that they are degrad-ing, unnatural, and to somepeople habit-forming. It is anadmission of the inadequacy ofone’s personality to extract themaximum pleasure, happiness andexcitement out of life; of one’sfailure to cope with life whichis only made bearable when onecan resort to these kinds ofstimuli.

"AFTER THE BALL WAS OVER"By Mirabel Walker

" Was it really worth it?" sheasked me as we trailed miserablydown the wet road, our mascaradoing likewise clown our cheeks.

" Oh, yes," I replied, with asigh that began romantically andended unhappily as I stumbledshort-sightedly t h rou g h yetanother puddle.

Our situation was desperate.Nature did her worst, weather-wise, and the time by the ever-rite Magdalene clock was 4 a.m.precisely. An hour ago we hadbeen returned to St. Hilda’sCollege from the Easter Ball, andhad firmly waved our escortsfarewell, declaring that we’dprefer to manage the inelegantascent over the gate into St.Hilda’s alone. The evening’smood would have been entirelyspoilt if they had seen us withour long skirts hitched up, fisher-woman style, vaulting up thegate like t h ose wonderfullyepicene Russian athletes who winthe women’s high jump at theOlympics. To our dismay we dis-covered that some St. Hilda’s girlshad late leave until 5.0, and aswe were supposed to have beentucked up in bed by 12.0 at thelatest, we could hardly climb overthe gate under the eye of theporter and his wife who werewatching for such enormitiesfrom their nice little, dry lodgeright next to it. Short of flying,or swimming the Cherwell, therewas nothing for it but to wanderthe streets until 5.0.

We sheltered in a telephonekiosk, and tried to sleep standingup like tramps in a doss-house,but it was difficult with the damp

creeping insiduously up our legs,and rain dripping down ournecks. We thought of ringingup somewhere fascinating likeGreater Bunion or the Principal ofSt. Hilda’s, pretending to be a dondeclaring passionate love, or along-distance call from Haiti.

While we were still decidingwhich it should be the clocktolled five as wearily as we felt,and we bolted out of the kiosk.Alas! the porter’s light was stillon. Cursing we willed him togulp down his Bourn-vita beforePhoebus’ chariot crossed the sky,the dawn chorus started up, andwe were revealed, a grislyspectacle, in full daylight. Ourtelepathy worked. His light wentout, and my intrepid companionlept up the slippery spikes withthe confidence and nochalance ofexperience. More cautious, Itook off my long skirt and beganthe great ascent in fear and myunderclothes. Half-way up I hada feeling of panic similar, Isuppose, to that of a prisonerescaping from Auchwitz. I feltas if arc lamps would be trainedon me, and I would be challengedout of the darkness at gun-point.I slipped, and " Zing!" went, notthe strings of my heart, but oneof by suspenders which flewaway into the night, a happy littlesouvenir for the porter. I re-covered myself, and struggled onto the top, when my sling-backslung itself on to the pavementwith a porter-arousing clatter. Islithered furiously down to re-trieve it and eventually regainedthe top and swung myself overinto a welcoming puddle.

Trinity sails at Dun Laoghaire

4 ,.~_II

HOCKEYAt first glance two draws and

two defeats in four games do notinspire thoughts of a successfultour, yet Trinity in undertakingsuch an ambitious tour with oneof its weaker sides can have ex-pected far less than was actuallyachieved. Oxford, Cambridgeand London were certainly amongthe top ten club sides in Englandlast season, with a galaxy of inter-nationals of all levels in theirsides. Trinity were severely hitby injuries, ending the tour withnine fit players and starting offwithout one other, and few ofthe side had experienced hockeyat this level before. Additionallythe sight of smooth, fast pitcheswas a revelation to many of theside, nurtured on Irish mud baths.

The best result, 1-1, against aLondon University side with 130goals in 30 games and only threetimes beaten (over Easter this sidedrew 1-1 with the full Belgiumnational team, which has beatenG.B.). The worst disaster, 0-8,against Cambridge, with acrippled goalkeeper and insideright passengers most of thegame. The other results were 2-2against Guildford and 0-4 againstOxford. R.I.E. Knight.

¯ ound theSWIMMING

Trinity proved its water polosupremacy over the LondonHospitals by winning four out offive matches, defeating Guy’s, St.Mary’s, London a n d CharingCross.

In the Ginke Trophy match,however, playing a UnitedHospitals’ team, Trinity werenarrowly defeated by five goals tofour. Turning round at the finalquarter with the score at threeeach, the Hospitals’ substitutesproved fresher and won them thegame.

Success was largely due to fineteam work. In defence, Rice withhis long, stretching arms coveredevery inch of the goal, whilstJagoe and McClaughlin dealtdeathly blows to their opponents’onslaught. In attack, Baldwin’spowerful shots, Clark’s deflec-tions and Trimmingham’s staunchsupport proved the right com-bination.

Unfortunately, Trinity were notso successful in the swimming.Barnham swam very well, andPotter, Stainton-James and Gibsongave valuable support, butTrinity won only two out of fivematches.

Last Tuesday a combinedTrinity and U.C.D. polo teamheld Manchester University to a11-11 draw, though the swim-ming team lost.

SAILING CLUBDuring the vacation an im-

pressive record has been built upwith D.U.S.C. reaching the finalof the British Universities’ teammeeting for the first time, and forthe fifth successive year beating16 teams to win the NorthernUniversities’ S a i I i n g Clubs’trophy. Among the matches wonduring these meetings were thoseagainst O x f o r d, Liverpool,Queen’s (Belfast), Nottingham,Manchester, Glasgow and NorthWales.

In the final of the B.U.championships, Trinity lost toLondon University. F. M. Williamsand P. Branigan sailed outstand-ingly and, despite losing the firstrace, together with J. Nixon wereresponsible for ptting Trinity ina commanding position duringthe second. It was at this stagethat two Trinity boats had toretire owing to an unfortunate in-cident, and Branigan was leftfacing the opposition alone. Heldat Southport in gusting forceseven winds, much of the meet-ing was conducted with six rollsin the mainsail, and called forexpert dinghy handling.

A ladies’ team was also enteredand were beaten in the secondround. However, they had pre-viously defeated Cambridge, acreditable performance.

The N.U. gathering alsobrought fresh winds--this time toDun Laoghaire, where the IrishUniversities were hosts. B.L.Bond, as boatmaster, and N. M.H. Presser, as beachmaster, hadHerculean tasks coping with thedamage done by the north-easterly winds. Trinity captain J.L. Vernon acted as Chairman ofthe Committee. B. Stacey and P.H. Shanks showed their capa-bilities in fighting a rearguardaction in the final against Belfast,which was won by a narrow onepoint margin.

With a full programme ofmatches for both first and "A"teams, dinghy experts, and thenot so expert, should be kepthappy in the coming weeks.

ROWINGTrinity returned from England

with their oars between theirlegs. They did not do well. The]st VIII was entered for two Headof the River races. The day ofthe Reading Head dawned withthe weather as bad as possible--perpetual rain, though the riverwas calm. The rowing wasgentlemanly. The result was adrop of ten places to 31st. Butthe row itself augured well forthe Putney Head on March 21st.

At Putney, Trinity neveradapted themselves to the roughconditions created by tugs andbarges. But a following wind anda very fast ebb due to floodinglandwater meant times were fast.Though Trinity broke the exist-ing record by 1 second, so did 42other crews.

The result was another drop.If Trinity had caught the crew infront, the second half of the rowwould have been considerablyfaster. Nevertheless, two weeksremain before the Liffey Head ofthe River. This time must beused profitably.

CROSS-COUNTRYThe Harriers enjoyed a most

successful tour of Wales andEngland in the first week of thevacation. Four races in eightdays was the strenuous pro-gramme, and the team stood upto it well considering the variedassortment of courses which itencountered.

The first race was at Bangorwhere good packing over amountainous course led to aneasy victory over the WelshUniversities’ champions, thoughLiverpool University, runners-upin the British championships, wonthe overall contest. Oxford, inthe second match, chose three oftheir top four Blues and won con-vincingly, but most of the Trinityteam ran their best-ever 6¼ miles,so there were few complaints.With the first five finishersagainst a depleted Harrow side,Trinity won an easy victory, butthe last match brought a narrowdefeat to the team from ThamesHares and Hounds at Roe-hampton. After the tour, Colourswere awarded to S. Byrne, M.Boothroyd and S. Matthews, andre-awarded to A. Shillington, S.Austen and I. Angus.

GOLFBefore the beginning of this

term the Club had a week’s tourin Scotland. Matches wereplayed against three Universities,St. Andrew’s, Edinburgh andGlasgow, all of which were lost.This is not really surprising sincethe Trinity team this year is notstrong, and two of the betterplayers were not available totour. Also the Scots have themost powerful University sides inBritain.

Hugh MacKeown won all hissingles and was the most success-ful player, whilst Jeremy Pilch hada good 50 per cent. record.Martin Rees and Alastair Bondboh had good wins at Edinburgh,whilst Mick Roche undoubtedlywon in the evenings.

Congratulations to Pilch andMacKeown for playing for theIrish Universities against theScottish. Both of them playedhigh up the order and only lostby the odd hole. Pilch, too, putup a great performance in theWest of h’eland championships atRosses Point, Sligo, reaching thequarter-finals before losing to theredoubtable Joe Carr by onehole after a very fine match.MacKeown won the consolationtournament with a 77.

McKEITHLOSES

ACTIONT.C.D. medical student James

McKeith last week lost his suitfor damages from three DublinGarrdai. The action arose froma protest march to the AmericanEmbassy on October 23, 1962,against the decision of the latePresident Kennedy in bringingthe world to the brink of warby blockading Cuba. McKeithbrought a suit for £600 as a resultof various injuries including fourdog bites and a broken nose.

On the evening in question, 70people gathered from a NationalProgressive Democrat meetingand a C.N.D. meeting in Collegefor the purpose of marching tothe American Embassy to presenta statement of protest. Amongthem were Dr. Noel Browne,Labour T.D., and Colin Smythe,well-known pacifist leader. Onnearing the Embassy, themarchers were halted by a cordonof 21 Gardai quite unexplainablypresent. Without reason theyrefused to allow a representativeof the group to present theprotest.

The marchers were driven backand set upon by Alsatian policedogs. According to a report inthe " Irish Times," " No fewerthan eight people were bitten andthe dogs were so much out ofcontrol that one of them actuallybit a policeman who was nothandling him." In the course ofthe evening several demonstra-tors, including wom en andstudents, were beaten, bitten,and arrested. Although muchheated indignation was arousedthroughout Ireland at this un-precedented instance of policeviolence, both the police and theGovernment refused to acceptany responsibility.

Two weeks ago Mr. McKeith’ssuit came to court after a delayof 18 months at a time whenmany witnesses were unavailable.

T h e prosecution called aswitnesses several newspapermenand students at the College, in-cluding June Grey, Sean Edwards,Robert Mitchell and RosemaryGibson, who all testified that themarch had been peaceful andorderly, and that no violence hadbeen offered except by theGardai. The defence called aswitnesses several Gardai whoseemer unaware of the nature ofthe demonstration, who hadcalled them to the Embassy, oreven that anyone was bitten.

Although the foreman of thejury stated that, in the opinion

Boland OpensSantry

After three years’ hard workthe new sports fields and pavilion,built on a 20-acre site at Santry,have been opened. An April 15th,the new Chancellor of theUniversity, Dr. F. H. Boland, infront of a large gathering ofguests cut the ceremonial tape,and the £44,000 scheme became areality.

The evening was sunny andwarm when the Chairman ofD.U.C.A.C., Professor J. V. Luce,began his speech by welcomingDr. Boland to his first function asChancellor since his installationlast term. Professor Luce paidtribute to Lord Iveagh, Dr.Boland’s predecessor, and thensaid he felt the opening was anevent of major importance. Itwas the first extension of groundfacilities since the laying out ofthe College Park Rugby pitch in1900. Expanding student numberssince 1945 had made the existingfacilities inadequate, he said.Trinity with its fine sportingtradition, including the oldestRugby club in the world, hadneed of such a sports ground.

Replying to Professor Luce, Dr.Boland spoke of his own modestsporting record. This, he said,was filled with memories of vitalcatches missed on cricket fieldsand mortifying own-goals onsoccer grounds. But it takesduffers as well as stars to makegames, and differences of skilland prowess make for good, keenmatches. The effect of all to dotheir best gives games their zest,the Chancellor continued. As ahumble performer himself, he wasglad the junior teams were goingto be better catered for than inthe past. On behalf of all thestudents who, in future years,were going to use Santry, Dr.Boland thanked all responsible forthe grounds. He commendedtheir inauguration.

Mr. Cyril Boyle, Master of theKnights of the Campanile, brieflythanked Dr. Boland who then cutthe tape and opened the pavilion.

Whilst guests consumedexcellent cocktails inside thepavilion, three matches tookplace outside on the newgrounds. Unfortunately, t h eSoccer team found themselveswithout opponents. The Rugby1st XV played a Lansdowne-Wanderers XV and lost a closegame 8-15, A. Bourke scoring atry for Trinity which H. Reesconverted. Rees also kicked apenalty. On the Hockey field,Trinity lost 2-3 to a Three RockRovers Select XI, K. Heron andP. Stiven scoring for the home

He said, "You canimagine the embarrassment thiscountry would be in if the pro-cession was allowed to go to thedoor of the Embassy and create adisturbance."

Edwin SolomonsMr. Edwin Maurice Solomons,

who died on Wednesday, 15thApril, aged 84, was principallyknown to Trinity sportsmen asPresident of the Boxing Club, andas President of the Rugby Club in1922 when they won the LeinsterSenior Cup. He was a leadingcity stockbroker and the oldestmember of the Dublin StockExchange of which he was amember for over 60 years, but hegave much time to College sport,and besides being one of theoriginal members of D.U.C.A.C.he was a member of the Senate.

Mr. Solomons interest in sportwas not confined to Trinity. Hewas Treasurer of the IrishOlympic Council and was Presi-dent of the Leinster Branch of theIrish Rugby Football Union for 15years. Even up till two years agohe used to swim at the " 40 Foot"at Sandycove daily, winter andsummer, and only two weeks agowas out in College Park taking alively interest m the Rugby.Even when he was in his 70’s heused to go on tour with theBoxing Club and many times usedhis influence to get members outof scrapes with the Gardai.

Mr. Solomons was greatlyrespected by sportsman a n dbusinessmen alike, he did a greatdeal both by his interest and hisinfluence for Trinity sport and hewill be missed by many.

NO CARETAKERA shadow was cast over the

opening of the Santry pavilion lastweek, when it was discovered thatthe contractors were stickingrigidly to their contract and hadoverlooked a " gentleman’s agree-ment" to re-decorate the care-taker’s cottage. As a result ofthis, the arrival of the newly-appointed caretaker had to bedelayed while a new firm ofbuilders was called in to do thejob. This left the entire propertyunguarded at a time when vandal-ism is becoming increasinglyprevalent, to mention nothing ofthe trouble caused to the poor(and largely forgotten) care-taker.

AFTERROBBINSIt was on the 14th and ISth of

March that the first nationalseminar of the Union of Studentsin Ireland was organised at Ross’sHotel, Dun Laoghaire. There wasrightly some disappointment thatonly about forty students tookpart, but the week-end provedboth interesting and helpful.

The seminar was divided intothree main sections. First, aU.C.D. lecturer and two Queen’sstudents read three papers ondifferent aspects of Higher Educa-tion. Then the seminar brokeinto five working groups whichmet in various parts of the hoteldiscussing all aspects of highereducation from the r61e of thetechnological college to Govern-ment participation and control,and the financing of the student.These groups worked hard, dis-cussing their topics for abouteight hours in all and then pro-ducing written reports. After thereports had been duplicated anddistributed, the third principlesession was on Sunday eveningwhen each report was discussedin turn.

The purpose of the seminar wasto try to establish some firm linesof policy which the NationalUnion should adopt to try toimprove standards and facilitieswith regard to higher education.Sometimes too little informationled to poor discussions, but ingeneral some success was ex-perienced and after a week-end’shard work all those who hadtaken part hoped that the experi-ment would be repeated nextyear.

Trinity’s own activity wasprominent; one of the organisersof the seminar was MalcolmSaunders who also took the chairat one of the commission sessions.Another commission was led byMichael Newcombe, and in all theseven members of the Trinity con-tinguent was the largest repre-sentation of any university orcollege.
