We are pleased to be able to an- nounce that Una! approval has now b e e n g i v e n fcjr the Harbour Trust for the annual regatta of the f.l'.B.C.. on the l"arramatta River course on April 2 s. The fixture was arranged with the New South Wales Rowing Association eight months ago. Recently, when It was found that the date Hxed was the last day of practice before the heats of the (treat I'ublic Schools' "Head of the River" contests, representations, it is understood, were made to the Har- bour Trust, on behalf of the (I.P.B. re- gatta committee, that the Boat Clubs regatta should either be |>ostponed or removed To another course. The reason given was that the regatta would himihr Ike li.P.S. cretcn In their practice! It would seem that the Harbour Trust was at lirst disposed to refuse the S.l'.H.C. formal permission to hold its regatta on the I'arramatta River course, on those grounds. Determined representations on t* half of the Roat Club, however, led to a reconsideration If the S.I".B.C. Is approached o n t h e suhjert. no doubt some arrangements can lie made to enable the tS.IVS. crew* lo have their "Showdav" as usual. MEDICAL SOOETY At a special i-eiteral meeting of the Sydney University Medical Society held at the Medical School. Mr. W. It. M. Drew proposed that Special Hon- orary l«lfe Membership ol" t h e Soc r he conferred U|M>n Mr. IS. II. Boscn. Mr. Drew said that Mr. Bosch, by bis great generosity In giving C21X.WMI to Ihc University for use in the Faculty of Mcdlclne. had made possible the es- tablishment of full-time Chairs in Sur- gery. Medicine. Kmbryology, and His- tology and Bacteriology. As a result of this Sydney University Medical School should progress much further and more rapidly than It had already done, and should become unrivalled aa a Medical School In the Southern Hemisphere. The motion was seconded by Mr. 11. S. Flynn. Putting the motion to the meeting IJr. A. McDermott. who occupied the clialr. said that Honorary Life Mem- bership of the Soelety was conferred only on rare occasions on those who had rendered eminent service to the medical profession, or lo the Society. The motion was carried unanimously. r %oi tcauiifut A«rffc WINES TRADITION AND DEMOCRACY a> TW Wwkc ml Am Gewn It would appear that to date the Vice-Chancellor's plea for the wearing of the gown has fallen upon ears that will not hear. This, of course, is no surprise to anyone who has bien asso- ciated with undergraduates of this University for any length of lime. With an institution such as the "Var- sity. a lasting achievement cannot well exist apart from tradition. Tet It Is harder to maintain a tradition in Sydney University than It would 1* to start a ski club in Hades. In older academic communities tra- dition begins with something done under the impression that It is as natural as the law of gravity. The thing persists In a conservative atmos- phere until, despite a changed environ- ment which sets It In quaint relief, love of alma mater keeps it a s a sacro- sanct symbol. Here, of course, we cannot with propriety Institute a cus- tom. and. at the same tine. keep a clairvoyant eye to its future venera- tion. They do so in America, but only because Americans lack that which we. as of English lescent. should maintain at all coats—a sense of humour. But when the custom happens to be so simple a matter as the wearing of academic dress within the precincts of the "Varsity, there is surely no occa- sion for self-consciousness. Indeed, one finds it very difficult to see where any serious objection could lie. It is good taste to adapt oneself to one's surroundings. The University is an Institution with a distinctive air. It is different from other institutions, has a different history, and is com- posed of a number of individuals, ranking from Deans to freshers, as- sembled for a definite, intrinsic pur- pose. If it is good taste to wear even- ing dress at balls, football togs when playing football, wig and gown at the Bar. a clerical collar and vestments In the pulpit, or mufti In ordinary life, then why not academic dress when at the "Varsity? And if a man would dis- like to appear at a hall in football togs, or to walk the streets of the city i n a swimming costume, he ought logically to shrink from the thought of wearing anything but the appropriate garb at the University. In most Universities students take a particular pride in being appropriately •lad. It gives them a proper pride in hemsetves. as members of an Institu- "He Men" — **Ski Men" It may come as a surprise to the fresher to learn that, numbered amongst University clubs and socie- ties. is a Ski Club, with a roll of about forty highly enthusiastic members. The fresher who has been to Kos- ciusko during his school days needs no enlightenment as to the reason for their enthusiasm. This is an attempt to give the uninitiated some idea of the pleasure o f a skl-lng holiday. Enjoyment of the sport comment es from the instant of buckling on one's skis. At first it is amusement a t t h e futility of one's most frantic efforts to control the wayward things, an amuse- ment heightened by the ludicrous spec- tacle presented by one's fellow novices who are trying to do likewise. Inci- dentally. despite the philologist's dic- tum that, in the original Scandinavian, the word was derived from the sound of the ski running over the snow, one wonders whether it is only Coincidence REGISTRAR DEPARTS Will Meet A Kippn 1«M.

Freeh from a long vacation in the two ancient Universities whose names and history are proverbial. Why. then, a r e w e s o painfully self- conscious? The answer seems to be fairly plain. We are primarily Austra- lians. and as we share the honour which attaches to that status, s o d o w e include In our personalities its disa- bilities. Australians are essentially democratic, and more than often self- conscious as a result. Anything that savours of caste, be it a title, correct speech, or ceremony, makes u s a s u n - comfortable as a schoolboy in his Sun- day clothes. And as undergraduates we do not lose this trait. Of course, a certain amount of tradition has been heaped upon us willy-nilly, and we take great pleasure therein. But a new departure which suggests any distinction, leaves us cold and bashful. We usually display ourselves to Iw 'lealthy-lungfd Philistines withal. So we are not taking too kindly to mir Vice-Chancellor's plea. But is it not a painfuly regrettable fact that the passive opposition lo this new departure (once an admired habit) is the outcome of a feeble demo- cratic disdain of tradition, and there- fore not a little ridiculous? m.p.li. are by no means unusual. The maximum recorded is between .VI a n d «». Tet even round about the hiss of the ski. the icy wind in one's face, and the proximity of the ground all combine to make one feel that It Is well that there are no traffic policemen about. The sensation is akin to that of nil m.p.li. in a car with the hood and windscreen down. And liefore the run there h"« been an Uphill climb, when the glorious alpine air has l>een puinfied to the innermost depths of the lungs, and every muscle has contri- buted to the effort.

The club subscription is &/- per an- num for undergraduates, and 10/1 for graduates, the latter sum entitling the member to a copy of the Year Book Issued by the Ski Council of N.S.W.. to which body the Club sends a dele- gate.

TO CANBERRA A Uaivgraity The curious may search the Birth Columns of the daily newspapers in vain f«»r n o t i c e of this event of cul- tural significance, yet what is lost to the alphabetical lists of "The Sydney Morning Herald" is compensated for l.y a special paragraph devoted to Can- Iterra University College. This little fellow has arrived In the federal Household. May he justify his existence then-. The "Herald" publishes the list of the teaching staff ai the College. Some of these men tire members of the civil staff at Ihintroon. and will divide their attention between that nursery of Australian-made Held mar- shals and the cultural breeding ground of potential "Comptrollers." "Under- Secretaries." and "Heads of Depart- ments." Degrees will be more popular than "Commissions." and knowledge the order of the day. The lecture subjects, though f e w a t present, are wide in their application. One professor expounds I,'itin and English—a happy fusion of the old with the new. Another teaches pure mathematics (the "Impure" do not count). Physics and chemistry Is di- rected by an astronomer, geology does not languish upon the rocks, modern languages peep through the door, while economic geography appears to be the province of one skilled In the quaran- tine of plants. Economics and its his- tory comes within the ambit of a sta- tistician. L^ist. hut very far from least. Is placed that "pillar and post" of com- mercial knowledge—accountancy. A member of the Federal Capital Com- mission will attempt "to pluck out the heart of its mystery." So mention is made of a tutorial class in "cookery" assist the student of public ac- counts. and presumably political sci- ence will be left to the unbiassed and unfettered observation of the Under- graduate Body. As yet the University College h a s n o building to call lis own. The genesis of the College is not unlike that of our own University. We commenced work quietly but efficiently in the "Big Schoolroom" of the Sydney Grammar School nearly eighty years ago. The Canberra University will i»e housed for a time in the public schools of Ihe fed- eral Capital, and no surprise will lie felt if. when the permanent home of the Federal Parliament is built, the University takes possession of the temporary struct Canberra is following the lead of the State Universities. Candidates for degrees must be matriculated, hut anyone who has had an equivalent to a "good education' may lake the lec- tures. There is no mention of any S.R.C. being founded, and if so. whether Its views, grievances, or cheers will he ventilated in a itaby brother "Honi Soit." A s a relief to continued masculinity. It Is to he ho|ied that Ihe classes will he sprinkled with members of the fair sex. and that the latter will set a fashion in gowns. The Federal University College now tands as an established fact before the fieople of Australia. To-day It Is heard as "a still small olee." In the not far distant to-mor- uw the voice and influence of this College may thunder from Burketown to I'erth. We extend our right hand md hearty congratulations to this, the latest University. A time may •me ere long when Its academic and sporting lustre may vie with. bitt. we trust, never obscure or eclipse that of the Inspiring and Senior University of the Empire—the University of Sydney. SPORTING GOODS HARRY NOPMAN'S SPORTS STORE 19% HARRY HOPMAtrs SPORTS STORE FILM SOCIETY One torrid summer afternoon late in IS2? a large and amused crowd of students gathered in the L'nlon Hall to witness the filming of "Charley's Aunt." As a work of presenatlon. the showing was deplorable. The film broke with irritating frequency to the accompaniment of ironic cheers f r >n> the "house." The light was poor, the picture erratic, and the conditions un- comfortable, But the dozen freshmen whose enthusiasm had been responsible for this ph< nomenon refused to be dis- heartened. Like Hrux s spider, they tried again. Some unsightly wires from the Electri- cal School steaditd the wandering lteht. and the room was darkened more sat- isfactorily. The second epic was "Aloma of the South Seas." with an atmospheric prologue isle) to give the right impression, ami the Jeers fell away appreciably. In fact, the direct result was the formation of the 8.U. Film Society, headed by the experienced Vice-chancellor, and followed by some dozen inexperienced but enthusiastic students. The Initial purpose of the Society was to assist the University Apiieal. and to ensure this a regular programme of lunch-hour entertain- ments was aimed at. In due course the Society boomed being greatly assisted by loans and gifts such as a pianola from Palings. Alms from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. a motor generator and an arc light from the Union. The standard of presenta- tion rose, and from a possible source of fun. the entertainments became a well-established part of undergraduate life. When the Appeal closed £50 odd was donated from the proflts. and as the Union gave the Appeal, pound for pound, what the Society had paid in Hall hire, the S.l'.F.S. had reason to be proud of itself. It continued with- out Its original object, and still flashes and flourishes dailv Of course, when the outside public cried out aloud for "Talkies" (so the Union Theatres assure us), the S.l'.F.S. had to be in the fashion, and after some tragic-comic experiments, at last real- ised their mission on earth by present- ing. on April 4. a special, sensational, all-talking programme.

FROM THE CROSS-BENCHES U n i o n N i g h t
Union Night w a s held a s usual on Wednesday evening. April 2. With Mr. K. A. n a v e l l e in the chair. A gloom w a s cast over proceedings by the real-isation that in the absence of Mr. Storey, w h o had paired with Mr. 15111. members would be forced to read last week's "/'*•<•*" for themselves .
Before a fairly full House, the Premier (Mr. Poole) wearily roee t o move ' T h a t >Yee Education Is more of a Curse than a Blessing." The w a r y leader of the Opposition (Mr. Wood) , however. Insisted o n the the motion by the substitution of the words "has been" for "is." This eDvcted the I'remler insisted, that f ree educa l ion unfitted the lower c lasses f oe hew ing wood ami drawing water.
Mr. Wood uncoiled himself f rom the opposi t ion benches to formulate the astonishing dictum that "anything
hich tends t o ultimate not at a n y stage of it railed bad." Free education would be a success eventual ly , hence up to t h e present It had been a blessing.
As an offset to the Opposition leader's Utopian picture of an enlightened and freely educated world, the member for Moiloy rose to bemoan the effect on the morale of honest bricklayers' aons of free education. The son of aa honest artisan. If educated te a n aesthet ic standard, would desgtne the pictures e n the wall of hie father's cot tase . taken probably from the "Police Oaeette." The House fell ture, and the I door to Mr. earnestly for s s s t e minutes. Men w h o had received a free education, in the opintoa of Mr. fCodgers, were not Uhely to have unsif ted theories "foisted upon thSML"
After the maiden speech of the m e m -ber for Cleraa. that old campaigner . Mr. Hancock, took the floor.
n this tendency w a s overcome he subsided, and Mr. Hancock moved the gag.
An exhaus ted House yawned through f division, and drclared the Bill
defeated.
