THE summer Council meeting of the Union of Students in Ireland

was held in Queen’s University, Belfast, last week-end. Forty-fivedelegates attended, representing about 17,000 Irish students. Each con-stituent organisation may send one delegate for each 750 stuflents "orpart thereof." Also present were delegates from national and inter-national student organisations.

The Council meeting had beenarranged for 24th-26th of this month inNewman Mouse, U.C.D., but on WhirMonday it was announced that this was

t not permitted and that the U.C.D.Students’ Council had been deprived oftheir office there.

A motion at the Council meeting,tabled by the Executive but inspired byT.C.D., that the " Council expresses itsconcern at recent reports of incursionsinto the freedom of student activities inU.C.D." was passed with only three dis-senters. The incursions discussed werenot only the refusal of the office inNewman Mouse but also the banning ofa society meeting last term and thesuspension of a student for criticism ofthe authorities’ attitude.

purely from concern for the freedom ofspeech and action of students.

The attitude of U.C.D. has been caus-ing much concern throughout the countryrecently, not only for the College’s deal-ing with students but for its methods ofappointment of staff also. The days arepast when a university could regard it-self as a little kingdom, completelyseparate from the country where itexisted. A university now is very muchpart of its own country; the people lookto it for leadership; its actions should beabove reproach. Any injudicious actionby U.C.D. reflects on the credit of all theIrish universities and on the credit ofIreland herself. Freedom of speechwhich the country professes must beshown in all spheres of its li’~e.

G.M.B. Take-overDisquieting Rumours Slightly

Shamefaced

Wild rumours circulating certainsections .of College that the G.M.B. wasto be taken over from its committee bythe Board have trickled into a rathershamefaced silence. In an exclusiveinterview, the Bursar, Dr. Chubb, put a" Trinity News " correspondent into thepicture. The idea, he explained, was thatthe Board should take over responsibilityfor the upkeep of certain sections .of thebuilding, such as the stairways, and inreturn the Board was to have the rightof the use of the G.M.B. debating hallwhenever it was not otherwise oceupied.There was no question of "high-handedbureaucracy "; the matter was a decisionfor the G.M.B. Committee alone. TheAuditor-elect of the Hist., Tony Francis,and the President-elect. of the Phil.,Hallam Johnston, were slightly morereserved. "The matter is still subjudice," said Mr. Francis, and Mr.Johnston maintained a similar discreetsilence. However, it would seem toemerge that there is, in both societies,

Smith and Michael Scott, emphasisedthat the motion was prompted not byany feeling of rivalry with U.C.D. but

Scheme RejectedThe tennis courts are saved. The plan

for building new Physics laboratories onthe courts between the Physics andChemistry departments has been shelvedfor the moment. Thus the pre-fab.wooden huts will continue to be used forPhysics. The interior of these labora-tories is very pleasant and well suited~or its purpose, but the exterior, whileimmeasureably more beautiful than thatof the Gym. nearby, is reminiscentrather of a Canadian lumber camp thanof an ancient university.

The Gym., however, is an item for im-provement in the near future. At presentthere is only sufficient money to repmrthe leaks in the roof. This will be wel-come, but still more welcome is news ofthe intention to improve the whole build-ing. Apart from the deplorable dirt andsqualor of the place, there is notsufficient room for all the clubs who meetthere and the impression gained by visit-ing sports teams nmst be very badindeed.

Elsewhere in College, too, the buildersare busy or soon will be. The roofsaround Front Square are being repa!redand the new kitchens are progressing.No. 28 is to be transformed into bed-sitters. Some reconstruction of the olderlaboratories in the Chemistry departmentis planned and also some improvement inthe appearance of Front Gate.

The money for all this work comesfrom three mair~ sources: A Governmentgrant for restoration and maintenance,allocation from the College revenues, andvarious outside trust funds.

DISSIMULATION

AND SELF

ANOTHER year has almost run

its course. Junior Freshmen

have truly found their feet and are

well prepared to display their

seniority next October. The old

" Players" and "Icarus" faces still

exhibit themselves at Front Gate.

For some, it is the last year. These

will soon pass out of memories over

active with their own advancementand be replaced by the latest

would-be "characters."

It is a remarkable fact that

many students over-rate them-

selves. Their tennis is not really

better than Tom’s, no matter whatthey say. They may have greater

academic abilities than Mr. Jones,as they claim, but their marks

never show it. This is not simply

lack of humility. These people are

W~)ud of something they do not

even possess. These are the people

who always have a very good ex-

cuse when they fail to achieve what

they apparently considered to be

an easy goal. Are you one of these

people? It would be interesting toknow whether they really did

believe what they expressed so

volubly or did they merely mean to

impress their friends for the

moment and hope to talk them-

selves out of the final collapse?

This ailment cannot be grouped

with hypocrisy which has itself a

few followers in our ranks. The

hypoclite may not be intentionally

insincere either. On the other hand,we cannot admire these people’s

behaviour even if they can’t help it.

One amazing fact is that many of

our hypocritical and self-assertive

friends find their way to high

places on the social and adminis.

trative ladder in College. Very few

ever achieve recognition outside

the College walls. Does this

suggest that our society is corrupt

if it permits adulterated specimens

in influential vositions?

Thinking of outside recognition,

it is encouraging to see that the

Union of Students in Ireland has

acquired a new leader from Trinity.

Mr. Igoe is well qualified for this

position. It might be said that he

is proud of nothing except U.S.I.

and his own humility.

glance of a naughty but unrepentantchild; the slow, dignified gait of a figuresomehow taller than one expects; acertain endearing absent-mindedness, asbefits an established and esteemed pro-iessor; a friendly wave to the student;an old-world charm and twinkling smile,especially manifested in the presence ofthe ladies; a determined insistence uponthe maintaining of tradition in suchmatters as the wearing of gowns; a verydeep and genuine love of English litera-ture-these are some of the memorieswhich H. O. W. will leave behind himwhen he vacates the chair of the TrinityEnglish School at the end of this termand embarks up on his well-earnedretirement.

Prof. Herbert Martyn Oliver White,M.A., is an honourable title, but, since hewill even sign tutorial essays with theabbreviated form, .one suspects that ourEnglish professor values as much hisnick-name " How " or " He " as a sign o’£affection displayed by staff and studentsalike. A Northern Ireland man and agraduate of Trinity, he spent some timestudying on the Continent and lecturingat Sheffield and Queen’s Universitiesbefore returning to his alma mater in

¯ 1939, when he was appointed Head of theEnglish School.

His principal achievement in the fieldof literary scholarship is perhaps hisedition of Thomas Purser and, on thelighter side, he has written a detectivestory, " The Body and the Pound " whichwas published both in England and inAmerica. Add to these the publicationswhich appear under his name in theTrinity Library catalogue, a TrinityMonday address on Edward Dowden(Dublin, 1943) and " Orazio Nella

ILetteratura Inglese " (Rome, 1939), andalso several contributions to pastnumbers of " T.C.D.", including a mis-

Ichievous poem on the problem of womenin rooms, and one begins to understandthe breadth of his versatility.

H. O. W’. has always taken a great

No. 39 will soon be deprived of these|characteristic possessions, but the old,grey stones of Trinity do not easily iforget those who have served long and lwell within their boundaries and willalways retain a welcome for H.

delegation from T.C.D., said that thiswas only one manifestation of thecha.n.ging attitudes regarding Trinity andother Irish universities.

Whereas in the past Trinity had thereputation of always standing aloof fromwhat was going on elsewhere in Irishstudent affairs, and lo.oking to Englandfor a lead, she was now playing a morepositive role at home, and the strongTrinity representation on the U.S.1.Council further underlined the fact. Alsounder discussion was the Freshers’reception, to be held on the secondday of next term. This will again be heldit.. the Examination Hall, with theProvost present, though unlike last .~-eareverything will be run very informally.The Provost and other senior membersof staff will wander around, meetingmore students personally, and all clubsand societies are to be invited to set upstalls to show the Freshmen a cross-section of Trinity’s extra-mural activi-ties.

The Army held a weapons display lastFriday in College in order to drawattention to the Regiment of Pearse, aspecial reserve unit confined to students--technically " D " Company the 20th In-fantry Battalion, but much larger thanany normal company. At present thereare only a few Trinity men in this, but itis hoped to raise enough recruits to forma Trinity platoon in the regiment.Establishmentarians will be glad to hearthat the Provost favours the idea.

Visitors to the exhibition were con-fronted on entering by a large and smartcorp.oral of military police standingfirmly by the door--weapons, it seems,are not allowed out of barracks withoutthis impressive escort. All the equip-ment of an infantry platoon of the IrishArmy was on display, plus a few com-pany weapons. There were two .38 radiosets, a bren gun, and two models of the¯ 303 rifle, with bayonet fixed on one.Biggest draws, however, were twoVickers machine guns, complete withvoluble corporal to demonstrate; twomortars, the 60 ram. and the 81 mm.,

similarly attended,, and the Swedish" Gustav " sub-machine gun, which re-places the " Sten " of the last war.

Corporal Robin Ingram, one of the fewTrinity student volunteers (he servedHer Majesty for nine years in theGordon Highlanders and the RoyalSignals), explained that they hoped par-ticularly to get students with previousmilitary experience---in National Serviceor with school cadet forces. Nationalityor citizenship is absolutely no bar toenlistment¯ Parades are held for threehours on Sundays at Griffith Barracks,although occasional fieId days occupy 8or 9 hours¯ For those who do not wishto serve on Sundays there are Tuesdayevening parades in winter. There is afortnight’s camp every summer, forwhich a recruit is paid £6, and bountiesfor good attendance are worth at leastthe same amount again.

A couple of years’ membership would_make a student an adequately trainedinfantryman in any army. It seems abetter way of earning money than can-ning peas!

TheThe Dublin "Festival of Music and

Arts," despite its many virtues, has yetto attain one iota of the atmosphere ofits Edinburgh counterpart. This is notentirely due to the fact that the Edin-burgh Festival is, to put it brutally, ona higher artistic plane; Edinburgh hasbuilt up, over the years, what is nowcalled a "fringe." It is, to some extent,the failure to provide some kind ofcounterpart which has, to many, seemedan indication of Dublin’s lack .of interestin the Festival. Whatever else Edin-bughers may be, they love their Festival.

This state of affairs will gradually, wehope, disappear. In the meantime, theDublin University Opera Group’s slightlyself-contained and isolated declaration ofindependence will serve as a first step.In addition to their Irish premieres of" The Medium " and " The Telephone,"

Dublin Music Festivaltwo one-act operas by Gian-Carl,oMenotti, the Opera Group will present,on the Monday night of the Festival, apiano recital by Julian Dawson. OnWednesday night this will be followed byan orchestral and choral concert, con-ducted by Julian Dawson and featuringDavid Lillis (violin) of Radio Eireannand David Griffiths (flute), College’sanswer to Gareth Morris. On the Satur-day afternoon, at 3.0, perhaps the mostenterprising recital of the entire Festivalwill take place, being entirely devoted toclassical and modern chamber music.

It is to be hoped that this courageouseffort at giving the Festival someexistence outside the cut-and-driedorganisation of the Festival Committeewill survive the fierce and exotic com-petition of its international-class rivals;certainly, this Uni’versity should supportit~

DEAD ONI cannot fathom the paradox of want-

ing to talk and at the same time wantingto be alone. I can find obvious reasonsfor it but I carmot disperse the paradox.Perhaps this is the ~ltimate state ofmind prior to insanity¯ Even if this isinsanity itself, it is no longer of muchconcern to me. Earlier in the year, while,as far as I knew anyway, I was a mend-ing convalescent completing a luxurycure, I had to fabricate a personality toconform to the norm. But now I’m no1.onger concerned with recovering a placein society . . . Yet I use those words-’personality,’ ’norm,’ ’society’ more thanI ever have. I refuse to ask myself why¯ . . The fact is, that to be dying of T.B.is very ’corny’ and even when it’s true,even now that I’m concerned directly, itis embarrassingly ’coI-ny.’ But then, Ialways felt my way o’f life, and every-body else’s was ’corny.’ I’m sick now, soI have an excuse for saying this, but Idon’t really need an excuse. Life ismelodramatic aaad the performance ismore obviously ’ham’ when the actorspretend n,ot to be acting; then its likeplaying ’farce’ straight--What I havesaid so far has been an excuse for saying] don’t need an excuse; the truth is I’mdying and I’m scared and I have to talkto myself like this to take my mind out-side of myself¯

I have not read one book, written o.neletter nor even walked in the gardens ofthe sanatoritLm above twice in the whole.of the last month.

Perhaps I could get to Geneva. It’sonly an hour by train. Geneva is betterthan Brannhaus. Here it is civilised likea padded cell. I must try for Genevaagain. My mind wanders but it won’trelax. It’s like searching in the darkfor the right key when there arehundreds of keys, hundreds of Yale keysc.n the same chain. I must talk until L amtired, and I must not mind being melo-dra:matic.

2ad Team TriumphsOver 1st Team

Last Sunday and Monday the regattaprogramme was finally completed withraces in Water Wags for the J. B.Stephen’s Trophy and in Fireflies sailedsingle-handed for the Hamilton-StokesTrophy.

The results were interesting in thatmembers of the second team scored mostof the successes at the expense ofmembers of the first team. After threeeliminating heats, McSweeney, Wheeler,Barton, Brannigan, Gibbon and Pegumcontested the final. McSweeney got wellaway at the start, but by the end of thefirst lap was being closely challenged by

Brannigan. Brannigan was then, unfor-tunately, caught port and starboard andhad to retire, leaving Hilary Barton 2ndand Pegum 3rd.

There were only 13 entries for thesingle-handed Firefly races which weresailed on Monday evening in a lightbreeze, and three heats left Wheeler,McCandless, Mason, McSweeney, Browettand Barton in the final. Browett led allthe way, but then had to retire for a ruleinfringement at the start. Hilary Bartonmade up a lot of ground on the run fromthe Blackmark to the Coal Harbour tofinish first and win the cup which sonarrowly escaped her last year, withMcSweeney 2nd and Mason 8rd.

In the R, St. G.Y.C. regatta on Satur-day, Moorehead and Mason came 2rid inthe Firefly class in cottontail.

Last week a serious collision took placebetween Trix and a cruiser, solely be-cause the crew of Trix were not keepingwatch and did not see the cruiserapproaching. Members are strongly re-minded that it is the duty of everymember of the crew to keep watch at alltimes when sailing so as to avoid in-cidents like this which are highly damag-ing to the Club’s standing in DunLaoghaire.

On Saturday, the Universities’ SailingAssociation of Ireland are holding adance in the Crofton Hotel, DunLaoghaire, from 9-1. Dress is informaland the bar remains open till 12, and asthe profits go for the Olympics, goodsupport is hoped for. Tickets (5/-) maybe obtained at the dor0r or from G.Wheeler, 36 T.C.D.

of Inter-Varsity Cupup to win the match. It was disappoint-ing, especially since the ladies had wonfor the first time for many years. How-ever, the result was better than had beenanticipated and we have the opportunityof reversing the result in the colours’match on Wednesday.

On Saturday the Club relay team of D.Lovell, H. K. Skipton, R. Francis and R.Kirkham won the A.A.U. relay title inthe new best championship time of 43.4secs.--an excellent performance in spiteof one poor change-over. The 4 x 440yards relay championship was a. neckand neck race with Crusaders which theywon in new record time. However, ourteam of D. Lovell, C.

Boat Club

BOTH TEAMS WINThe Senior VIII has gone to Henley

Regatta, via Marlow, and we wish themluck in the racing which begins onSaturday. At home, Trinity’s Juniorand Maiden crews went to the BorneRegatta on Thursday, where the JuniorIV won their first cup of the season. TheMaiden IV lost their race, but cannot beblamed as their boat almost sank, andthe Maiden VIII had to Stop for a ~ewvaluable seconds after crashing oarswith the U.C.D. crew, leaving the GardaMaidens still unbeaten.

At Carlow on Sunday, the Maiden VIIIhad a long-deserved win, beatingNeptune and U.C.D. in the heats, andCappoquin in the final¯ The Maiden IVfinal took place immediately after theireights final, and the four involved weregiven no time to recover. They rowedhard, but it was their seventh race on ahot afternoon and they lost to UJJ.D. bythree lengths. The Junior IV won boththeir heats and the final, having a par-ticularly hard second race when after 12strokes they were 1~ lengths behindFermoy Junior IV. The Junior VIII hadonly one race, but this was a hard one;however, their rowing was excellent andtheir win a tribute to their coach,~ theRev. Mr. Love. The afternoon must havebeen particularly satisfying to Mr. JohnMorris, the Maiden crews’ coach, who hasbrought his crew up to a very highstandard of rowing which would havewon them success in earlier regattas butfor some unfortunate accidents duringrace~.

Golf Club

’Wedges’ defeat the StaffThe " Wedges " golf team enjoyed a

very pleasant match against the staff onMonday, 20th June, at Rath_farnham.Although the "Wedges" won by fourmatches to nil, the individual matcheswere closer than the final result wouldindicate.

One of the outstanding features of thematch was the fine play of B. Smith ~dT. Saville, who gave their opponentslittle chance by covering the first nineholes in 33 shots. At one stage, at threeconsecutives holes they had two dykesand an eagle--what a pity our CanadaCup team was chosen so early!

With their final match of the seasonagainst Delgany on Wednesday, 22nd, the" Wedges" brought to a close a veryenjoyable and a very full season. Wtu.’.’lethe golf has not at all times been of thehighest quality, a good time has beenhad by all, and the team’s traditionallyhigh standard off the golf course hasbeen maintained.

To-day (Thursday), 23rd, the Captain:sPrize will be held, and the Premdent’sPrize and the annual dinner will be hel dat the beginning of next term.

In conclusiorn, we wish the first teamgood luck in the Roger Greene Trophyto be played for over Royal Portrush .~July. Having won the co,ours’ mat.e~convincingly earlier in the season, theTrinity team must start with a gochance of winning the trophy.
