Ronnie is one of the moving forces inthis venture, for it is he who had theidea to orga,nise the expedition. Aftercontacting various friends at Cambridge,he enlisted the support of the CambridgeMountaineering Club and it is undertheir aegis that plans were fi,nalised.With Sir John Hunt as their patran ,andwith s’ubstantial backing from thetrustees of the Mount Everest Ex-pedition, this, the youngest ever ex-pedition to set out for the major rangesof the world, arrives in Lima early nextmonth.

The main objective of the expeditionis to explore the Pumasillo Massif whichembraces at least three peaks approach-ing 20,000 ft., one of them being thehighest unclimbed peak i~ the world,and lying in Inca country completely un-influenced by Spanish civilisation.

Ronnie Wathen is in charge ofthe food supplies. He has five years’experience of motmtain climbing and isa committee member of the IrishMountaineering Club, and member of theClimbers’ Club and Club Alpin Fran-cais. Apart from having large ex-perience of British and Irish mountainsof which he is at present preparing aguide book, he has also cli~mbed on theAlps, the Arctic Norway and was amember of an expedition to studyglacier recession and survey in Iceland.

He expects to be back in October, intime to resume his studies in Mod. Lang.Wheaa asked to name the difficulties theyexpect to encounter, Mr. Wathenmentioned frost bite, glaciers, gorges,long nights and many other character-istics of Polar conditions, but also re-minded us of the fact that the I,ncas donot~ care for the 8th Commandment.

College Under CriticismTWO recent decisions taken by the Board seem to have left Trinity

open to not very favourable discussion. The new farm bought for

research purposes and welcomed as one day providing a solution for

the country’s agricultural problems, is in a very sorry state. At this

afternoon’s conferring ceremony, an honorary degree will be given to

Sir Eric Hallinan, EX-Chief Justice of Cyprus, and this step has brought

forward an outburst of criticism from many quarters.

Townley Hall" Trinity News" ~sent a reporter down

to the farm, Townley Hall, in Co.. Meath.He found the workers standing aboutwith nothing to do, the time being 4o’clock in the afternoon. When oneconsiders that this is the busiest timeof the year for farmers when prepara-tio.ns are being made for the summer,one i.s immediately confronted by theseriousness of the situation.

The Steward on the farm died aboutsix we’~ks ago, and at the time of goingto press a new man has yet to beappointed in his stead. Trinity’s con-tact with the farm is made through asolicitor in Drogheda who pays the menevery Saturday. Apart from his visits,it is doubtful whether anyone elsebothers to go down to the farm.

At this rate of planning it seems very~nlikely that a profit will be shown forthe first year, and there are many things

about the farm which must be attendedto before it can be in full production.Thoughts should be for the harvest, andfodder for the animals in winter.

And as for gettting it ready forresearch purposes, the time is long henceuntil such a position will be reached.The sooner the farm gets going, thebetter for the country.

Sir EricWhen it became known that Sir Eric

Hallinan, ex-Chief Justice for Cyprus,was to be honoured in Trinity, manyveiees were raised in pr~test. Sir Ericwas the judge who sentenced the firstCypriot to be hanged for Eoka killingsand it is this, along with the fact thathe is, naturally, connected with themaintenance of British control of theisland, which has started the criticism.

A spokesman for the NationalStudents’ Council is reported as havingsaid: " We have zmthing personal against

Sir Eric Hallinan, who, we are sure,carried out his unsavoury duties con-scientiously, but we think it absolutelydisgraceful that an Irish Universityshould honour him. In the eyes of theIrish people he is symbolic of theactivities of the British in Cyprus forthe past few years."

Dublin County Councillor MartinPrescott, a Trinity graduate himself,said: " Trinity has always had the knackof leaving itself open to justifiablecriticism by the democratic loving peopleof the Irish Republic and the free world.By the conferring of a degree on a manwho must in the minds of our people beassociated with past persecutions in thiscountry, ~hey have once again deepeneda rift which after 30 years should haveclosed.

To the minds of all decent people inIreland there is nothing shameful in theidea of a majority of people endeavour-ing to obtain their liberty, but there isvery much to decry in the methods andattempts which have been made to crushunsuccessfully the democratic spirit ofthe people of Cypru.s."

Trinity’s comlment to .all this is anemphatic denial of any political reasonsfor their decision. The College statescategorically that Sir Eric is beinggiven a degree de jure and ,not de factobecause he is a graduate of this Univer-sity and "we have a right to pay himhonour if we so wish." They have alsoadded that they are proud Sir Eric is tobe the First Chief Justice of theFederal Supreme Court of the BritishCarribean Federation.

FRENCH STUDENTS

REVOLTAfter a three-day debate in which

tempers were almost at breaking point,a large majority of the Association ofFrench U,niversit.v Students recentlyrecerded disapproval of the FrenchGovernment’s handling of the deteriorat-ing situation in Algeria.

Seventeen of the Association’s .54branches dissolves their connections withthe parent organisation when they failedto convince their fellow students to keepout of politics.

The Association, representin~ 100,000students, is subsidised by the State. Theresolution condemning " all excesses andtortures " was approved by 253 votes to15, with 34 abstentions.

Our Political Correspondent writes:It is doubtful whether this will hawe anyeffect on French Governmental policy.Altheugh many voices have been raisedin recent weeks over the Algerianque,stion and the weekl’y " L’Express " isin a very delicate position owing toalleged reports on French Army tacticsin repressing the terrorists, the nresentGovernment is not likely to alter itspolicy. It is to be borne in mind thatthese nniversity ,students will form thebackbone of the Army, and if the resultsof the vote is in any way a true re-flection of student opinion, then thingsmay be in for drastic revision.

Dogs’ TeethTrinity has given a grant to .Mr.

Liversage, a graduate of T.C.D. and aresearch student, to augment t heGovernment’s grant for excavation atDalkey Island.

A ba.nk, upon which many haveenjoyed a picnic on a sunny afternoon,has proved to be the remains of fortifica-tions dating from Viking or h’on Agetimes, built on an old (1200 B.C.)Bro,nze Age site. Underneath liefragments from neolithic times. Workhas been gding on for a fortnight andalready interesting discoveries have beenmade. Bones, shells are the most usualfinds; pottery from the New Stone Age,and cooki.ng pots with decorated surfacesfrom the Bronze Age. A bronze pinwith a dogs tooth besld¢ it have cometo light. The tooth is apparently aparticularly interesting and importantdiscovery because dogs were rarely keptas pets in the Bronze Age. Two h~manbones were also found, but the dog’stooth is the mai.n showpiece.

With Mr. Liversage are working arepresentative from the National Uni-versity and Miss Fionnuala Pyle ofT.C.D. The Government provides work-men from the Labour Exchange underthe employment relief scheme.

Old Father Trinity...

ERAS come and eras go, but like

Old Father Thames (or AnnaLiffey if you prefer) Trinity goeson forever. While the universeshakes to the blast of yet anotherH-bomb, bigger and better thanthe one before, and diplomatsscurry from one side of the worldto the other in a hurried frenzy ofjet planes and helicopters, here inDublin one feels immune from theforces which plunge our neigh-bours into the maelstrom ofpolitical intrigue. However, suchimmunity is only shortlived, andpeace of mind only transitory.Soon, too soon for some, we shallhave to take our place in thisworld of ours, and it is up to usas the intellectual youth of thecountry to praduce order out ofchaos.

This last sentence may seemloud. It may seem pretentious. Butfor too long now have our fellowuniversity men been under-ratingthemselves and selling themselvestoo cheaply. For too long theyhave been blinded by the advertis-ing blurb issued by firms out toget the best men into their con-cern, and yet who offer to graduatesa mere pittance as a salary. Sir TomO’Brien, M.P., former chairman ofthe T.U.C., correctly observedrecently "that many a nian whogoes to work with his smartlypressed suit, clean collar, andbowler hat and umbrella, goeshome to a far more frugal mealthan those who carry the grimeand grease of their occupation ontheir working apparel." And thereis a very real lesson in thisobservation.

Reality is inescapable in theworld of to-day, and moregraduates are becoming aware ofthe reality of a large salary, andall it brings with it. It is no smallwonder that thousands of univer-sity men emigrate each year tocountries where salaries are insome way commensurate with fouryears of hard study. The incentiveof a fat pay cheque is proving farmore strong than ties of family,loyalty and what-have-you. In-dustry will only keep the best menat home when it wakes up to thefact that graduates are worthy ofhigher rewards for their laboursthan those offered at present.Fewer twenty-four-year-olds arewilling to sign away their youthto slave for some impersonalorganisation which will give themsecurity at sixty.

And quite rightly so. We areyoung; the world can be ours forthe taking [

Profile : Ex-Asst. Chairman

ANDREAS DAVIDA Cypriot playing on the left. wing

;or the Irish Universities’ soc~cer teamin Scotland--such is one of the ninnyanomalous situations i.n which AndreasAlcibiades David finds himself, and yet,paradoxically enough, whether asleepin Davy Byrne’s or playing football foran Irish Universities’ team, he fits intothe surroundings so aptly that hardlyanyone would find cause for comment.This we could suggest is due not to hisadaptability, but to the predominance ofa social instinct which for the most par.~expresses itself in his affable andaccommodating manner, but because ofwhich it might also be truly said that heis a person who would rather be madeto look ridiculous to the extent of havinglu.nch in No. 6 than not be noticed at all.

A. A. David was born of businessstock in a small off-the-map Cypriotvillage called Petra. The Pan-CypriotLyceum was the first institution pre-sumptuous enough to try to exert itsinfluence on our growing boy. Sub-sequ~.ntly he was sent to LindisfarneCollege in North Wales and here wewould like to record that the small popu-lation of Llangollen fell in love withAndreas’ " big brown eyes." More thanmoderate success greeted him at school,his Greek heritage displaying itself to

advantage in his aptitude for sport. He:won eolours at rugby, cricket and:athletics, win.ning the count:/ champion-ship for the long jump and having theproud distinction of being his school’shead-boy. Eventually he came to Trinityand, considering his commercial hack-ground, hardly surprising is it that thesubject he chose to study was Com-merce, apart from developing a neuroticfetish for twiddling his hair.

Those who have come in contact withAndreas have done so in one or more ofhis three different roles, that of asportsman, he being the Trinity A.F.C.captain., only member of Trinity’s soccerclub to be chosen for the Irish Univer-sities’ team during the past two seasons;that of a Fitzwilliam St. resident, theimplications of which are widely known,and more latterly that of a "newshound".and Vice-Chairman of " Trinity News."He first received promin.ence on the staffof " T.N." as its sports editor, revelling

in reporting eye-witness’ accounts ofSaturday night scrtmls in FitzwilliamSt., as well as the more orthodox dis-plays in College Park. He has thus leda varied and active life.

Though of a carefree nature, his twofeet are planted solidly in the earthinessof a busin.essman’s world, a world inwhich what some may call the finerthings in life are pushed aside in therace for increased production. This isMr. David’s world and though untrue inmatters of the soul to say of him thache is like a duck out of water, he might

aptly be described as a Drake on aputting-green. Ne~vertheless at times,remembering the glory that was onceGreece, he feels the desire of the inquir-ing mind and the discriminating, criticaland creative faculties. Thus we find inhis bedroom not a Cinzano but aCezanne, as an act of defiance to thePowers that placed him in this the mostanomalous of all sitttations.

In July, A. A. David leaves to take upa business appointment in West Africa.Born not for mediocrity but destined foran essential positian in society, we feelsure he has the background and tempera-ment to succeed in his chosen field.

WHITHER" Skiffle " has arrived. With .a fan-

fare of guitar and double bass, theyounger generation seems to havelatched on the Hillbilly bandwagon.Tommy Steeles are being discovered atevery amateur talent show, and Wen theaustere B.B.C. Telly has come aroundto the realisation that " Skiffle " is whatthe modern 20-year-old really digs.

This music originates not in the down-town haunts of the great n~etropolis, butin the cotton belt of the Deep South ofthe United States. It is steadily draw-ing the jazz addicts from the Dixielanddives and luring them i,nto certain coffeebars where pseudo Lonnie Donnegans aretrying their damnest to entertain theaudience. And the trouble is they’resucceeding. But oh, what fools thepublic are, and how gullible. Thatwhich is served up as authentic music isbut a mere imitation of the original.Gone are magical rhythms and virileemotional feeling, and in their place wehave nothing but loud guitars and off-tune singers.

One who thews the music of the,American southland and is familiar withthe southern Negro will be more thana little surprised to hear the noble senti-ments and religious fervour which these

SKIFFLE ?people sincerely feel debased and turnedinto a badly served hotch-potch. Itmust be always borne in. mind that theoriginal music had a definite function toperform. It was a way of letting offsteam, a safety valve if you like, andsomething very necessary for thesouthern Negro working in the cottonfields of the south. The most dominantthemes were scorn, sorrow, love, andjealousy, and the genuine blues describesthe unwanted wanderer, the lover de-ceived and the friend who betrays. Theydo not invent or co~asciously adopt thismusic, for it is part of their veryexistence, and fused into their way oflife. When a Negro plays the blueshe does not first think of what chordsequence he will follow, but plays withsincere feeling to express his emotionalan.guish.

But so very different from our boys,the " skifflers." Donnegan’s " Cumber-land Gap" is still way up the hitparade, but contains none of theemotional qualities of real blues. " TheRock Island Line " is still travelling, butits passengers have caught the wrangtrain.

As for me, give me the real articleanytime.

OBITUARY:MISS

All those of us who lunch on Buffetand many others whose names are nolonger on the College books will grieveat the passing of Miss Kelly, "thefamiliar figure at the end of the queue,"who was laid to rest a few days agoafter serving the College as Secre[aryto the D.U. Co-operative Society for 37years. Few people can remember whenshe came; the writer of these lines, infact, had difficulties in ascertaining whenand by whom she was appointed; sheseemed an old friend who bad alwaysbeen there and had hardly changed withthe years, except that her hair, whichused to be grey, had graduallv becomewhite. " She belonged," she was part ofour environment. " One could scarcelyimagine the College without her."There cannot be many who did not knowher at least by sight, although noteveryone could have told you whatexactly were her duties and how muchshe did for us.

Day in and day out, as long as Buffetmeals were served, we saw her sittingat her cash-desk, quiet, patient, pleasant-spoken but business-like and efficientwithal, taking our money for the victualswe had selected, keeping a sharp eye oneverything that happened in the hall andretiring to her subterranean office whenthe last luncher had departed. There shewould write up her .accounts and alsoperform a good deal of other work, of

MABEL KELLY\

the nature and extent of which only themembers of the " Co-op." General Com-mittee were aware, snch as composingminutes, preparing agendas, summoningmeetings and corresponding with bank-ing officials and accountants, for she wasTreasurer as well as Secretary. An in-defatigable and conscientious worker:that is the first thing to be said aboutMabel Kelly. But it is by no means all.

For, entering the College when andas she did, in 1919, as the secretary, co-adjutor and house-mate of her friend,the late Miss Jean Montgomery, who re-organised the College kitchen and mustbe regarded as the real creator of theluncheon buffet, she, too, deserves anhonourable place in its history. Thoseof us at least who knew the mighty" Jean " will always find it difficult tothink of one of these two ladies withoutthe other. They worked together, theycelebrated the twenty-fifth anniversaryof their arrival in College togetherwhen a large number of present and pastmembers of the University clubbed to-gether to provide a gift for each ofthem in honour of the day, and theirpartnership was only dissolved by death.Certainly Miss Montgomery was theleading spirit in that partnership, butshe would have been the first to urgethat in praising her work, that of herassistant should not be forgotten. Itwill n.ot be. M.F.L.

COLLEGEOBSERVED

High JinksThe usual high spirits of College term

life do not die a miserable death withthe last lecture of term, much as Artsstudents would think. There are stille,nough bright sparks about the place tokeep things alive and kicking. And agood job it is too--the monotony of thevac. has to be relieved somehow!

Sometime about the end of March,people coming in to College were sur-prised to see what looked like a pair oflady’s panties flying from the lightningconductor on the Union Insurance Com-pany’s buildings opposite Front Gate.However, further investigation showedthat it was a male under garment,strategically placed there by a couple ofwell-knowns Medics., one a fugitive fromthe Rugby Club, and the other a left-over fro~m Ziirs.

Just one thought in passing--is therea shortage of the under-bed receptacle,once so popular in student pranks?

Even Higher Jinks

Rumour had it at the beginning oflast term that Graham Taylor was aboutto re-muster his forces. The " Knightsof the Campanile " were to re-organisetheir activities, and the " breakfasts "~once a regular feature of College sportslife--were to be celebrated. However,the only time the " Knights " ever gotthemselves really moving was when theOxford team came over to play the1st XV and then they did go to town.

The high spot of the celebratien.s wasa dramatic obstacle race performed bythe Admiral of the Be,at Club and thesame left-over from Ziirs who featuredearlier in this co|umn. The I~rize, givento the one who first reached the top ofthe bookcase standing against the farwall, was a bottle of stout. The two" Knights " made their marks, and ,aftera rattling of bottle tops, the contest wason. Our men were away like flashes,and the first to reach the bookcase wasthe Admiral. However, the ex-Ziirs macwas coming up fast, and was just aboutto overtake him on the third shelf whenthe whole lot came away from the walland crashed to the floor.

The Oxford captain presented the con-testants with a metal bottle top each asa small memento of a gallant effort. Ashe said, "A great try, chaps, but yo~were defeated by the elements!"

But More Decorum

Oh no, College is never dull. Norquiet either. For one day i~ April justwhen the Reading Room began to fillup with undergraduates hoping to begraduates, a little piece of paperappeared mysteriously on the desks,drawing to the attention of readersthat:

" Talking and whispering (except innecessary dealings with staff at theissue desk) are strictly forbidden on.account of the disturbance thesepractices cause to others."

And further, readers were advisedthat:

" Strict disciplinary action will betaken against any reader who isnegligent in observing this regula:tian.."

But although things were pretty quietfor the first day, by the followingmorning the Mod. Langers were stillhaving their little get togethers at thedesk, and the Law students were backat their favourite game df seeingwho can make the most noise with theportable steps.

Ah, well, when will people learn thatthere’s a time and a place for every-thing ? Ouin-Ouin.

We would like to place on record oursincere and heartfelt thanks to Mr.Johnson for his guidance and in-,struction as last teran’s Chairman. Henot only fulfilled his duties, but farsurpassed them, instilling into all whoworked under him a deep appreciation ofhis talents. It was both a pleasure anda privilege to have him as Chairman.Our only motive for not choosing Kevanas the ,subject of the Profile in thisweek’s issue is that his Profile was pub-lished in November of last year.

fellow scientists, happy Miss Boo Baskincould not wait for term to begin toprove it. However, enthusiasm ranahead of reason--as it so often tends todo with beautiful youth--and Boo un-wisely staged her party on the samenight as the Boat Club’s Trial Eight’ssupper. The result can be easily fore-seen. Mr. Baskin’s only defence was togrease the fe.ncme surrounding his house,but the intrepid oarsmen did not allowthat to impede them. Having penetratedthe garden and tired of Boo’s carefullyplanned barbecue, they charged into thehouse. Janet Humphrey buried herselfLn some’ snow, David McCarter exhibitedgallantry, if not nobility, to Helen, andour prize bear from the wilds of Derry,Bruno Brown, grappled with LouieMackie, formerly of Trinity Hall.

Woman’s Column

SPRING FASHIONFashion this spring, like art, has

added and/or substructed lines, which,however, have failed to revolutionaliseprevious styles. This makes it easier forthe woman undergraduate with hewlimited means to be still "~ la mode."The art of choosing one’s wardrobe is todo so with sufficient discretion so as togive it the longest life possible. Forindeed the mnartest girls in College arenot necessarily the ones who are wear-ing the latest fashions.

Before a kinder weather permits oneto wear summer dresses, it is the timeof the year when suits are most useful.You will find in the windows that springsuits have fuller skirts and shorterjackets. Pastel coloured, soft jumper"suits made in floppy fabrics with asupple cut are very popular. Forpractical purposes, a three piece, sle¢ksuit i~ darker shades comes in veryhandy; you can look well dressed in yourtailored skirt with a gay blouse, fittedbolero, and by removing the blouse youwill be equally smart for the cocktailparty you are going to after lectures.

Chiffon, georgette or crepe de chineare the last words for the evening.(Trinity Week is approaching.) Longfloating skirts, with the top wrapped ontop, is charmingly original but not quiteadaptable to all sizes. Big cummer-bunds in differe.nt shades to the dressresting on the waistline are used todecorate the uncomplicated style. Chiffonis not recommended for College dances,it loses its freshness and shape easily.

To match evening clothes, this year bigjewels such as crystal and .pearl neck-laces and ear-rings are in fashion.Dance dresses are supplied with noboning, no stiffening, no starched petti-coats. You will find your partners quiterelieved at the disappearance df ex-tremely starched petticoats; somehowthe opposite sex disapprove of them.

For hot sur~mer days--or if you aregoing to the Continent--cottons are anabsolute must for your wardrobe. Avery wide variety of styles to suit mosttastes are available. Skirts are still fulland the cotton prints very gay, withItalian fiavouring. Shoes in differentpastel colours are also accesible. AI-though Italian shoes might be prohibi-tive in price, good imitation modelscould be obtained at very reasonableprices.

SwedenPeople hardly ever read theatre pro-

grammes. Really read them, that is.But if the casual theatre-goer was tohave a look at that thing he paid 6d. forhe might find some interesting infoI-ma-tion. Besides the usual drivel about thetheatre being disinfected throughoutwith Jeyes’ fluid and the like, there isoften a line on the play itself or itsauthor. And so, if our fine friends inthe audience were to take a look at theprograr~me of Players’ Festival pro-ducti~n, " The Shadow of Mart," writtenby the Swedish dramatist, Stig Dager-man, they would find some revealingdata on the life of the author.

Stiff Dagerman was at the height ofhis career when he committed suicide in1954. His first 11 years were spent inthe country with his grandparents; hesaw his father rarely; his mother never.When he was 16 his grandfather wasstabbed to death by a madman, and someweeks later his grandmother died ofshock. All this cannot have failed toproduce in .a boy of 16 doubts as to themeaningless h~man existence and he be-came obsessed with the idea of death anddefeat. Little wonder that the playdeals with a ,neurotic obsessed with hisown weaknesses and with a fixation forhis dead brother.

OFF THE C FFI dropped into the G.M.B. c,n Wednes-

day evening to hear the Hist. debate onthe motion " That Ireland should rejoint h e Commonwealth." After sittingthrough a solid ho~r of painfully hollowrhetoric delivered in attractive monotonesby Mr. H aley-Dunne and his merry men,I felt that I had discovered the reasonfor apathy towards the major societies.Mr. Haley-Dunne himself, bent ungrace-fully over the dispatch box, so infuriatedme by his creaking attempts at wit andhis sheer oratorical incompetence that Ihad already resolved to depart into theshadows of the night when came the re-assuring thought that the speakers yet tocome would find it virtually impossibleto emulate the tediousness. I decided tostay.

A youthful but ¯ self-confident SinnF~in supporter from the NationalUniversity, a Mr. Mulloy, entered thelists, and, hands in pocket, described hismotives in an easy conversationalmanner. Here at least, if not logic, wasa refreshing breath of sincerity.

But the highlight of the evening wasthe spluttering, hysterical oratory of Dr.McDowell. What a brilliant effort thiswas! Speaking without notes, he regaledthe now sadly depleted audience with afeast of scintil£ating, effervescent wita,nd cynicism, shattering the ricketystructure of Mr. Mull oy’s arguments,and providing an illuminating insightinto the development of Irish socialhistory in this century.

One had to sympathise with Sir IvoneKirkpatrick, the Chairman. For tt~egreater part of the evening he hadbravely, if ineffectually, attempted toappear bright and interested. It cameas no surprise, then, that his closingremarks occupied barely five minutes.

I was hack again in the G.M.B. onThursday to hear Mr. Bluett’s paper ~onthe Am glo-Irish. The discourse itselfwas fairly entertainingl but perhaps toosuperficial--not surprising, I felt, witha subject of such wide implications. Mr.Bluett spiced his narrative withdigressions of a nonsensical nature; Ifound these relatively entertai,Mng, butI would not be surprised to hear thatothers considered them irritatinglyfatuous. The latter part of Mr. Bluett’soffering was enlivened by a spiritedrendering of "I’ll Take You Home AgainKathleen" from a gentleman in theback row.

Mr. O’Mahony, the distinguishedvisitor, left me in no doubt that

comes to Trinity"The Shadow of Mart " portrays the

helplessness of a weakling unable tobreak away from his n~other’s apronstrings, and who up till the mnrderingof his mother had never committed ~nact on his own volition. Robert Somer-set’s performance as Gabriel, the weak-ling, was very sure-footed. Although heperhaps played the part with too muchof a "far away look" in his eyes andthus made Gabriel into too ~nuch of adreamer, he was the driving force of theplay. The last scene, consisting of a15-minute mo.nologue by the drunkenGabriel in front of his dead mother, wasa touch of the great in itself. MaryMoynihan as Teresa, the dead Mart’sgirl friend, was beautifully callous in theopening scenes, but in the second part ofthe play did not come over quite as well.Anne Cluysenaar’s Mother Angelica wasfrighteningly cold. She was rootedto a chair almost .all the time she wason stage, and it is a fault in the direct-ing that she was not taken from the sideof the stage and placed a little morecentrally. Alex. Smith showed onceagain his worth, but could do With alittle more schooling on where to placehimself on stage.

genealogy was one of his major in-terests; he displayed an intimateknowledge of the details, sordid .andotherwise, of many Anglo-Irish familyhistories. I thoroughly enjoyed hisdelightful irreverence.

The speakers that followed Mr.O’Mahony, however, were, almost with-out exception, alike in their unexcitingpresentation and failure to make use oftheir limited knowledge of the subject.The exception to a generalisation mustbe Mr. Stevens, who wisely realised hislimitations as far as the subject wasconcerned, and told highly improbable,but highly diverting stories. Mr. Stevensis a natural comedian and his casualinformality amd his impish grin im-mediately win over his audience.

The only other bright spot in theevening’s entertainment was, surpris-ingly enough, the President’s summing-up. Mr. Johnson gave us a glimpse ofhis undoubted oratorical skill, i,n continu-ing to be at once original and sincereat this stage of the proceedings.

The gue st speaker at Friday’sClassical Society Auditorial meeting wasDr. Cowell, a British Civil Servant witha bent for amateur classical studies.Unfortunately, his delivery is not by an;¢means first rate, and this fact curtailedsomewhat my enjoyment of what wasobviously a novel treatment to the sub-ject, " Julius Caesar and the modernconcept of a united Europe," His treat-ment, in fact, was so original that itwas obvious that none of the succeedingspeakers had a,nticipated Dr. Cowell’sline of approach.

Dr. Standford neatly dodged the issueby discussing Greek contributions to theconcept of unity. Dr. Stanford’s deliveryis superb, and he rarely fails to createat least an impression of infallibility.

Dr. Reynolds, who followed, made acourageous attempt to deal with a sub-ject which plainly was not ,one of hisspecialities. I found his attack onCaesar’s abilities as a soldier andadministrator interesting if not com-pletely convincing.

Another creditable performance wasturned in by the Auditor, Mr. Wilkinson,who contrived to make one or twooriginal points. Dr. Parke, in the chair,made no attempt at detailed criticismof the evening’s discussion--principally,I suspect, because he found it difficult toknow where to begin--but threw out o~eor two of his own ideas before adjourn-ing a meetin~ which had proved satis-factory if not mildly exciting.

TravelmanshipTravelling can be so ~nuch fun.

Leastways it can be if you go .about itthe right way, because with travellingthere is both a right way and a wrongway. Of course, no-one’s interested inhearing about the wrong way, so we’llskip that bit.

Abroad is where everyone goes whenthey travel. Abroad is so vast that thepeople living there have to divide it upinto countries so that they don’t get lost.To complicate matters for Englishspeaking people (but obviously to helpthemselves), the inhabitants, called"foreigners," speak different dialects ofLatin, a language which has becomestrangely twisted with the passage oftime like my Aunt Aggie. However, afew choice phrases like "Ou est 10cabinet " and " Cuanto vale" will workwonders. The tourist should rememberwhich words are international. Themost common of these are "W.C."," Travellers’ Cheques " .and " Coca Cola."Girls should bear in mind that " No" isthe same in most languages, while " Yes"is inclined to differ. For instance, yesis " si " in Spanish and Italian, but onlymeans yes in French in redly to anegative question in the affirmative.(Third Form, French Standard TextBook.)

Beaches are where everybody rushesonce they set foot on the other side ofthe Great Divide---commonly called theChannel. This may be prefixed by thewords English’ or Irish. depending on thereader’s nerso~al background Abroad5n the Beach is the eventual destina-.tion of many a worthy traveller, andthere you will be sure to meet all yourold picnic friends: ants, bed bugs, bollweevils (whatever they might be) andothers. You will always be able topick out your fellow countrymen by theirdistinguished lobster-red--not pink, butreal deep red--of their su.uburn. Onlyforeigners get sun tan,ned, the rest getburnt.

When you go to a hotel abroad theprice the hotelier will quote will be forthe room, and not per person. Thismeans that if you are in a large party,you can send the leader of the groupwho will reserve one room with a largebed, and then when the owner’s back isturned you can all sneak u~qtairs. Thiswill cut the cost of your trip bv halves,at least. People who do this are calledby " foreigners," " les Anglais," whickmeans sim]oly "chancers." Food is extra.This is unfortunate, but that’s howthings are done abroad.

I do hope that these hints will helpyou in havin~ a good time in the vac.As fbr me, I’ll be at Brittas Bay.

A CLOSEFINISHEdinburgh Win

EDINBURGH won the inter-varsity match in College Park on Saturdayby 74 points to 67. The result depended on the last race of the day,

the 4xl10 yards relay. Nevertheless, Trinity provided the outstandingperformance of the day; Taylor winning the shot with a new Collegerecord of 47 ft. 10{- ins.

Edinburgh had already beaten bothGlasgow and St. Andrew’s. With a viewto the’ U.A.U. Championships at Readingnext week, they had left behind fourScottish champions, including Jackson,their miler, who has beaten Mackay onthis track. Rain throughout the morn-ing had left the track slow, but no soonerhad Taylor beaten his own shot record,and the first two places been securedin the 100 yards dash, getting Trinityoff to a fine start, tha~n the clouds rolledaway and sunshine glowed benignly onthe’ scene. It did not shine long forTrinity. Edknburgh took the threemiles, and Murray, the Scottishchampion, gai~ed a clear two feet overNeligan in the hop, step and jump.Victories in the high jump and in thehalf mile put them jq~st ahead. Therethey remained.

Trinity had the better of the fieldevents. L~wson won the javelin. Taylorlanded a double with victory in thediscus. Here he was below his best form.Oladati.n took the long jump, havingalready breasted the tape to win the 100yards. But our track runners could notfollow his precept. We had to be con-tent with second place. De Wet, leadingfrom the start, was edged out of the 120yards hurdles. Mason made a brave

effort in the 220 sprint, but Robertson,the U.A.U. champion, just got home.Similarly, Marsh kept Hanno~a out offirst place in the half mile. Hannonclung on all the way, but could not noseahead. This overall track superiorityagain counted in the mile. Edinburghtook the lead from the start, andC~nnolly had to come home gamelybehind the victor.

Yet the excitement was left till theend. To those who had remained at arespectful distance it was apparent thatstirring events were taking place at thep01e vault. Archer won the applause ofthe afternoon from among a fine quartetof vaulters. So all depended oh therelay. Mason was away ~o a great start.There was a fine change over. ButEdinburgh took the lead in the middle.Try as he would, De Wet could not carrythe day. It was second place again, andEdinburgh had won.

Inter-Club RelaysOn Monday evening a large crowd saw

Trinity gain a four-point victory overthe holders, Donore Harriers, in theinter-club relays. Trinity’s total was 36points, mostly obtained from the fieldevents. Taylor,¯ Lawson and Archer wereagain outstanding.

Rowing

Towards HenleyAfter improving performances at

Lough Erne, Reading and Putney,D.U.B.C. return to College with brighterprospects.

It is hoped Trinity will be representedby three crews at the Liffey Head ofthe River race on Saturday. Trinityseniors will be starting a second behindPortora Royal School, who won thisevent last year. Lady Elizabeth B.C.will be racing in a shell boat, after anabsence of several years.

In the sprint races which have beenstarted recemtly at Islandbridge, the firstand second Trinity boats have so fargiven a very good showing. The Trinitysenior crews have always made thefastest time of the day. The junior crewhas distinguished itself by beatLng theU.C.D. first boat in a scratch race bytwo-thirds of a length.

Taking these results as an indicationof future potential, it would seem thatTrinity may achieve some greatermeasure of distinction at Henley thanhas been their wont Ln recent years.

The Senior VII.I announced by theCaptain is: Ross-Todd (bow), Molyneux,Cowan, Martin, Kidd, Gibson, Delap(Captain), MacGillycuddy (stroke),Colegate (cox).

Defeat in the Rain"’Such sheets of fire, such bursts of horrid thunder,

Reme,lbcr to have heard."

AFTER the temporal conditions of the week the cricket club musthave °felt this, if they did not express it so exactly. They went

to play Pembroke on Friday with rainclouds overhead, and on Saturdaythey were unable to resume until after tea. Perhaps the weather hasgot its mischief off its chest, and we can look forward now to betterdays. So, we hope, will the 1st XI, for they registered their seconddefeat.

GOSSIPCan we Unite-?

The present division in Irish athleticshas split the Universities as well. Thishas resulted in University men leavingthe administrative position in bothassociaJons governing athletics here.

The A.A.U. takes little interest intrack meetings and their programme forthis season is negligible. The case foran inter-varsity contest is strong. ButU.C.D. are members of N.A.C.A., thoughwith little preference for it. They havejoined because most of their athletescome from the provinces where theA.A.U. does not operate. They are pre-pared to resign fram N.A.C.A. for aweek to compete against Trinity. It isunlikely, in the event of a match, A.A.U.would suspend us. We possess the only

track available to them. Further, inter-varsity competition is a closed contestwhich c~ be ran under any rules, ifcompetitors are from a fixed group.Thus I.rish " Army athletes of bothassociations compete side by side. Soit should be in the Universities. Onlythe amalgamation of University athletesfrom all over Ireland can restore ourathletics to its fol~mer glories.

Extra MatchThe Boxing Club are seeking another

feather for their cap. They hope toarrange a match against R.M.A., Sand-hurst, one of the toughest amateurte~ms in England. This could prove astar sporting attraction in Trinity Week.

PASTORALWhen Beethoven spoke of his ]?astoral

Symphony, itself a vision of earlysummer, he insisted that he was portray-ing, ,not the sights of the countryside,but the feelings nature inspired in him.Such inward feelings are really theessence of the joys of the summergames. Something very close to thatwhich dra~:s the poe~ to the field inApril warms the blood of the old manlifting once more his skittles. Theirsound tumbling ia~ the alley, the woodsbreaking softly on the emerald sward,the willow echoing across the green, arethe sportsman’s o~m quail, nightingale,and cuckoo.

The winter belongs to the athlete. Hewill not begrudge his lesser brother thesummer, as he retires to relax at thirdman. He is worried. He has his fitness,and his averages. We enjoy ourselves.

Ours is .not a great display. If we arelucky we may cut the hall past cover,run the ball through the hoop, turn it intowards the jack. We may chip it upin a gentle roll easing nearer andnearer the pin. Physical greatnc~s willin .no way aid victory here. So we mayfeel a little proud if we vanquish therebyone of the mighty giants.

But how this vanity diminishes at thefeeling the sum:mer games inspire. Wewould not change our wanderings withthe Ramblers amid the twilight of May;our walk across the fairway, our strollon the lawn neath the shade of themotmtain at Carrickmines, for all thebrilliant spectacular of the great featsplayed on those mud brown strips be-tween iron towers before the’ cheeringcrowd. We have ~he contentment ofplaying the game. We have no musclesto pull, and no average~ to spoil.

Batting first on an easy paced pitch,Trinity made 95-5, and then, afterc

misfortune had hit them in the way oftwo run outs, they appealed against thelight and waited for the morrow.

Wilson and Foster, a freshman with80 to his name in the trials, added 56for the second wicket. Byrne, who wasturning the ball away from the right-hander, then dismissed both batsmenwhen a big score seemed imminent.Mostert, the left-hander, countered thisthreat with the hook. One of theseshots led indirectly to his downfaU.Anticipating a boundary, he was casu-ally left i.n mid-pitch, beaten by thefielder’s return. The umpire is the manto watch when there is doubt about aboundary. Smyth, who had batted com-fortably, then waited for Saturday.

On the resumption he added 24 andthe inni,ngs closed for 138. With thewicket easy and against a strong battingside, Trinity needed early success toforce victor-. Neither Reid-Smith norHarkness used the new ball intelligently.You cannot afford to bowl full tosses toopemers like Burgin, and 50 runs camefor the first wicket. Although Suttonkept one end closed, Drewery was not ingood form at the other. Burgin con-tinued to score very fast against goodfielding, and Haughton, starting 4, 6,looked to be trying to rival D. V. Smith’swhirlwind batti,ng for Sussex on theprevieus day. Then both were out at110, and there was a slight chance.Harkness came back in a ‘much betterspell, but the leeway was too great tomake up. Pembroke were home by fivewickets.
