SRC REFORM MANIFESTO:

STRI TH REATE N E DDemand for Student on Board

A manifesto of student demands has been appt~ved by the S.R.C. Revitafising of the tutorial system,abolition of lodging regulations, and student representation on faculty committees and on the Board are thechief issues. If these requests are not met the manifesto calls for a one-day boycott of lectures and extensivepicketing. The document was discussed at a special council meeting on Monday. Agreement was reachedafter heated discussion, and the manifesto was amended to read as follows: ~

" 1. A student should become amember of the Board.

2. The tutorial system shouldbe completely revised and re-vkalised.

3. Students should be allowedto sit on school committees.

4. Accommodation regulationsshould be abolished ....

5. Disciplinary~regulations hndprocedures should be revised by asub-committee containing studentrepresentatives¯

6. The new Regent ’ HouseCommon Room should be admin-istered by the students, throughtheir representatives on the S.R.C.

7. The Standing Committeeshould be re-constituted to givemuch greater student control overthe distribution of the CapitationFees."

Discussions on protest measuresnecessary if these demands areignored was deferred until nextweek’s council meeting. Concern-ing the present "ludicrous" accom-modation regulations, Beverly St.

Vaughan said that he consideredthat all final year students, includ-women, should have priority forCollege rooms.

Gully Stanford suggested thatthe S.R.C. was taking too muchwork upon itself if it ran the newCommon Room. It was rejoined,however, that this was an occasionwhen the S.R.C. could start itsown project, rather than encroachupon activities of the other majorsocieties.

A committee was elected todevelop the proposals into a suit-able form for the Board.

ELIZ TURNS DOWN

MERGER WITH PHILBy SUE TANNER

Only forty of the four hundred members notified turned up to theEliz general meeting to discuss the motion: "That the Elizabethan andPhilosophical Societies amalgamate."

The President, Elizabeth Hall, said there is a demand for both mixedand segregated major societies in College.

A Tenant’s Appeal

Made at Front GateAn evicted tenant has made an

appeal to Trinity students for helpagainst injustice.

On Tuesday afternoon, ane 1 d e r 1 y woman approachedstudents who were running anInternationalist stall at FrontGate. She told them of the plightof her sister, Miss Dorothy AnnByrne, who had been a resident of48 Lower Mount Street for overtwenty-five years. Last year thelease came up for review and shewas told that it could not be re-newed. Shortly afterwards, MissByrne collapsed in the RoyalDublin Society, of which she is amember. She was taken to hospital,ill with pneumonia. A writ wasserved while she was still inhospital.

"The Phil can’t offer the samefemale orientated facilities andprogramme as the Eliz, and thereis, anyway, an intrinsic worth inhaving a society just for women,despite present apathy.

" If the Major Societies are re-arranged," she said, " it must beso that they all join to form, withthe S.R.C., one student union. Butthe present system tends to suitTrinity better, since no one omni-potent figure gets a strangleholdon College affairs."

Moral Issue

The amalgamation of the Philand Eliz is not just a question offacilities, but rather a moral issue--there will be a mixed commonroom anyway in Regent House¯ Sodoes the present Eliz have the rightto sign away its right to exist forfuture generations?

The motion was defeated: butby only two votes¯

David Naisby-Smith struggles for his copy of the "Selected Readingsof Mao," against active opposition from the Internationalists

Scuffle over MaoLegal proceedings against the

Internationalists have been in-itiated by two individuals follow-ing scuffles at Front Gate lastFriday afternoon. David Naisby-Smith and Beverly St. Vaughanhave both sent solicitors’ lettersto the Editor of "Words andComment" threating her with civiland criminal court action. Naisby-Smith may also file a charge ofassault.

The incident, it is alleged, tookplace when David Naisby-Smith,after buying " Selected Read-ings of Mao Tse-tung," burnedthe frontpiece photograph of Maoand proceeded to rip the book intoshreds in front of the sellers’ stand.An argument and a struggle thenensued between Naisby-Smith andthe seller for possession of thebook, Naisby-Smith asserting thatsince he had paid 8/9d. for it, itwas his to do with as he wished.Having forcibly got it back he re-tired to the railings where he anda group of friends began shreddinge v e r y page. Another Inter-nationalist arrived and asked thesellers what had happened andhaving learned went over to

CENSORSHIP IN, BUT WC)MEN OUTThe vote last week was far

closer than in February of lastyear, when a similar motion wasintroduced¯ Thus by all appear-ances the Hist is moving towardsthe acceptance of women members.

In the regular Hist debate onJanuary 24, Ken Rushton gaineda majority of votes in opposing themotion "that censorship corrupts."Gully Stanford spoke in support,and was interrupted twice byRushton who rose on points of fact.Stanford, who had to competeagainst constant heckling, accusedRuston of " legalising."

In attacking the motion, Rush-ton claimed that faults in Irish

censorship do not invalidate theconcept of censorship itself.

For GraduatesThe Cornmarket Press have

just published another of theiruniversity reference books, thistime a directory of post-graduatestudies.

The directory contains details ofalmost all longer term degrees,diploma and certificate studies. Itlists the departments of univer-sities and colleges engaged in post-graduate work, and describes themajor regulations in higher de-grees in each university¯

The Phil may have conceded,but the Hist remained adamantlast January 23: women will notbe admitted to debates. AnExtraordinary Private BusinessMeeting voted 87-85 against themotion to accept female membersinto the society. The debate wascarried on mainly by opponentsof the motion, although ex-AuditorMichael Cameron and Hun..Member Clan O Eigeartaighflew to Dublin to support themeasure.

Few members appeared to beinfluenced by the debating, andmany attended only to cast theirvotes and leave.

Naisby-Smith and allegedly struckhim. "If you think that youcan get away with this sort ofthing, you’re wrong. And it won’tbe just a fist next time," heshouted.

Beverly Vaughan, outraged atthe treatment which Naisby-Smithhad received, bought a copy of"Words and Comment" which heimmediately tore in two. He alsohad to struggle with a seller as aresult. A general argument thenbegan at Front Gate between theInternationalists and about twentyor thirty students. Vaughan had asolicitor’s letter back at Front Gatewithin an hour. David Naisby-Smith saw his solicitor nextmorning.

An Internationalist leaflet re-leased on Monday defended the"strong a n d militant" actionand accused Naisby-Smith of"Fascist book burning." TheInternationalists have also sent aletter to the Junior Dean.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

"Ah?" remarked Nicholas,knowledgably ravenous andstudying the menu with anappreciative eye. "Yes, Ithink I’ll start off withHedda Gabler with a soup-con of Thackeray to follow.Then I’ll have James a laJoyce" with sauce Rabelaisand round it all off withOliver Twist. That way Ican ask for more. Nicebook-restaurant this H.F.,pleasant service", he mused,"don’t even have to tip thewaitress. This is one EgonRonay missed, must remem-ber the name of it, HodgesFiggis".

WAR IN SOUTH AFRICAThabo Mbeki, a representative

of the Mrican National Congress,spoke to the Republican Clubs ofT.C.D. and U.C.D. last Thursday.He insister that it was their taskto aid the freedom fighters inRhodesia. The guerilla warfarewould then spread to South Africa.

He left South Africa in 1962to work for the A.N.C. in London.He would certainly have beenarrested for his political activitieshad he stayed.

The A.N.C., although bannedin South Africa, manages somepublic activity: they organised asizeable demonstration at Luthuli’sfuneral and h a v e distributedthousands of protest leaflets. TheCommunist-inspired Pan AfricanCongress, Mbeki said, has beendefunct since 1960. The A.N.C.,although previously a peacefulorganisation, was now committedto the fighting of an armed strugglein South Africa.

When the Nazis

marching "come inHow should one handle an interview for a job? This is a question

which final year students will try and solve before they face the usualscavengers coming over here to pick off the best material for such house-hold names as Shell, Unilever and Ford. Each year interviewing becomesmore modern and sophisticated.

It is amazing, though, just howpoor some so-called talent spottersare at interviewing. Often thenervous candidate has merely tosit down and glow enthusiasticallyas he is told what a marvellousfirm he might work for, how theprofits (before tax) have increasedby so many thousand pounds, howthere is a non-contributary pensionscheme and, above all, a three-week holiday (though one weekhas to be taken in February).

But the interviewer, after hiscrash course of " Teach YourselfPsychology in Seven Days," wouldnote that you made quick, subjec-tive and irresponsible decisions.All very well seeking the glory,Our Man from London reasons,but this bloke did not stop to con-sider the financial situation inwhich he left his wife and children.Good luck in your interview.

Charles Dutton.

The other type on first inroduc-tion appears to be suffering fromlock-jaw and, consequently, whenthe initial surprise over this im-pediment is overcome, the roles arereversed and one becomes the in-terviewer. "What time has onegot to arrive in the morning?" isoften a good question to start offwith. After showing the appropriatedistain when one is told that allemployees, from the managingdirector down, are expected toclock in at 9 a.m., questions like"the availability of pubs in thefirm’s vicinity" and "the chances ofoverseas travel" and others shouldbe fired with machine-gun rapidity.

The more go-ahead firms, how-ever, have begun to adopt methodsformulated by the Americans andex - Gestapo interrogators. Itssuccess can be gauged by the in-crease in mental patients andBritain’s balance of paymentsdeficits. How does one knowwhether one is at the blunt end ofthis drill which is guaranteed toexplore the innermost recesses ofthe brain?

Typically the interviewer mightsuddenly yawn in the middle ofyour enthralling account of howyou travelled the States in a Grey-hound Bus. Alternatively, aftercontinuously trying to argue withyou (attempts which you haveassiduously sidetracked), he willsay: "I think your views areexactly what I’d expect from acomplacent little student like you."

Another gem which he mightthrow out would run on these lines:"What would you do," he wouldpolitely put to you, " assumingthat you were married with twochildren, if you were told that to-morrow morning your youngest wasto die and the only way to save himwas to offer your life instead?"Without pausing to reflect how de-lighted one might be to get ridof the little bleeder, our heroeswould throw down their lives forthe angel.

SHADES OF WILDEMicheal Mac Liamm6ir, at the

Gate, in "The Importance ofBeing Oscar." For three hours,with only the shadows of OscarWilde for company, MacLiam-m6ir holds the stage and for fullythree hours he holds his audiencetoo. In his anthological portraithe draws both the man and hisage; he invites the audience toexercise the ghost of scandal whichsurrounds Wilde’s name, to laughat his wit, to admire his art, and tosympathise with the fallen idol. Hesucceeds.

MacLiamm6ir’s style of actingcomes unashamedly from an agebefore mumbling became fashion-able, and as such it is the perfectvehicle for the exotic stylism ofWilde’s time. A little too muchplaying to the gallery in the earlyhumorous extracts was the onlyblemish on an evening whichotherwise wholly engrosses thespectator with its pure perfection.

If you have not seen this alreadydo not miss the opportunity, for itis an essential part of your Dublineducation. If you have seen it,you will know to go again.

Insane Lawless

unconvincing

"WOYZECK" (Players) (Revue)

Buchner’s "Woyzeck" is a tragedy of smallproportions, but with as much intensity and fatalismas any Greek drama. In attempts to control hishallucinations and delusions, Woyzeck is compelledto murder his mistress and finally to destroy him-self. He is surrounded by a chorus of insensitiveand uncomprehending fellow beings, epitomised bythe doctor (Patrick Boyd-Mansell).

An insane man is a helpless man and MalachyLawless projects this feeling of a man bewilderedby unreasonable forces. However, it is difficuk forthe sane to get into the mind of the insane andWoyzeck’s mental hell was not obvious to theaudience. Lawless did not achieve the presenceone might have expected from a man who runsthrough the world " like an open razor." He hadbeen made unsuccessfully to suppress his normalaccent and adopt a Cockney one which was anobvious strain and must have distracted him fromcomplete identification with his role. Woyzeck’smistress was played with subtlety by AngelaMadigan.

The play had a cumbersome number of changeswhich the director attempted to overcome with askeleton set and effective if sometimes over-emphasised light changes. The director, FionaMcHugh, obvious had a great deal of sympathy for"Woyzeck," historically and dramatically. Unfor-tunately the play is a very demanding one for actorsand audience and the attempt to understand provedtoo much for both. S.G.

Andy de Mille.

Shallow’s piping, whistling treble,Fallstaff’s gargantuan belly as thetwo walk through the snow. OrsonWelles’ "Chimes at Midnight" isebullient, fast moving and sharp,even though the speech/picturesynchronisation and some of thecuts are inexact.

The picture climbs up over thefat knight’s stomach in angularcamera work reminiscent of"Citizen Kane." The battlescenes, with camera working in,out and round to the thud of mail,sweeping with the charge of theknights, are as impersonal asmodern warfare. In the midst,Falstaff, like a pot-bellied, topheavy Dalek, skulks and runs toavoid the fighting.

The sparseness of the openingscent is continued in the Kafka-esque sets, the bleakly majesticpalace, symbol of stability, theempty ale house, smoky andcavernous with whores emerginglasciviously from upper rooms, andthe narrow, mean, muddy streets(Zefirelli’s Paduan vulgarity isnothing in comparison with thechiaroscuro of Welles’ direction).But the director is outpaced by theactor in this film, the fat knight,revolting, pox-ridden, lying, thiev-ing and yet endearing--the symbolof disorder rejected. "Yet Halis not totally cold, leaping in hisjapes, bandying obscene insults,sad when Falstaff feigns death,dismissing him to take over thecares of the crown, yet regrettinghis own self-discipline.

Nusight

At a time when U.S.I. is slowly building up a goodwill balance withIrish students and also with the Minister for Education, it is unfortunatethat they have not criminated the one department in their organisationwhich brings them nothing but disrepute and heavy financial loss. Lastterm U.S.L launched a newspaper called "NUSIGHT." Alan Matthewsof the U.S.L Executive revealed at the student conference at Malahidethat it was launched not as a mouthpiece for U.S.I. policy but as a profit-making venture. U.S.L spent the ridiculously short time of two monthsorganising the first issue. It is impossible to plan the mechanics o~ afinancially viable publication, such as U.S.I. envisaged, in such a shorttime. The editor o[ "NUSIGHT," Michael Keating, has also admittedthat the business department of the paper was not as efficiently organisedas he would have liked. As anyone who has the slightest connection withnewspapers, student or otherwise, knows, newspapers are not exclusivelyliterary ventures. They are businesses. Under no circumstances canthey be allowed to lose money. They must tailor their ambitions tosuit their budgets. In "NUSIGHT" last term, advertising, the life bloodof any publication, was negligible, and circulation, essential to attractingadvertisers, slumped eventually to 105 in Trinity.

After six issues "NUSIGHT’S" debt stood at around £900. Con-sidering the expensive method of printing used by the paper, it issurprising that the debt was not higher. This loss was equivalent to aquarter of U.S.L’s entire income for ’67. The annual U.S.I. congresswas the time [or the Executive to admit that a mistake had been made,and that technical knowledge and business sense are more importantingredients than unrealistic idealism and over-ambition. However,U.S.L had apparently not learnt their lesson. It was decided to give"NUSIGHT" another chance, with a debt limit o[ £1,500.

A motion to this effect was rushed through Congress in the closingminutes 0~ the last day. For the student delegates to give their assentto the continued dissipation o[ a great deal o[ student money was acareless and irresponsible act. "NUSIGHT" in its present form cannever hope to succeed, as the U.S.L Executive would have found out ifthey had gone to the trouble o[ seeking worthwhile advice before rushinginto print.

iTEVENS ON SOne of the n~st interesting sequently the emphasis widens one con"

cCe~lapects of studying psychology is man’s functioning as a whole, and psychology to the twentieth cen-

that it comes at the intersection ofmany disciplines from philosophy,anthropology and sociology tob:~Mogy, physiology and evenphysics. Scientific method is thecore of psychology, but fertilisa-tion comes from the arts and anyother area concerned with humanbehaviour and experience.

The orientation of the psycho-logy department in Trinity is verymuch eclectic. The lecturers are apretty varied bunch both in back-g~und and approach. Researchinterests range from animal labora-tory work and investigation of per-ceptual processes, to the psychologyof gambling and aggression, elec-troconvulsive therapy, sleep-learn-ing, smoking, and hypnosis.

From the staff point of view itcould be argued that greaterspecialisation would be m o r eattractive. From a student point ofview the eclecticism is ideal. Itensures a student comes into con-tact with most of the currentapproaches in psychology to-day.

The course basically aids at pro-viding an understanding of whyman behaves as he does and alsoto familiarise the student withtechniques utilised to acquire thisinformation. Throughout the fouryears there is an emphasis on ex-periment and the necessary ad-juncts of methodology and statisti-cal analysis. Initially the approachis analytic with processes relevantto behaviour treated in relativeisolation. Learning, remembering,thinking, perception, p s y c h o-physiology and ethology form thecontent of the first two years. Sub-

courses include personality theoryand assessment, psychoanalysis,child, s o c i a 1 and abnormalpsychology.

Graduation for a psychologist isjust the beginning. Before practis-ing as a psychologist~in hospital,education, or in industry ~ agraduate needs further training toacquire a more detailed specialisedknowledge of the field he haschosen. The department caters atpresent for a number of post-graduate studens doing research forM.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees. Atpresent this consists of researchwith very little formalised instruc-tion. There are also plans for a postgraduate course in clinical psycho-logy to be established in the nearfuture. A considerable amount ofclinical work is already in operationby members of staff and contactshave been developed with a numberof local hospitals.

If you ask any staff memberwhat best characterises the Trinitypsychology department in relationto other psychology departmentsin Britain, his reply would be"under-staffed, overworked, andlacking in research funds andfacilities." This is, of course, parti-ally a reflection of the general de-ficit in research and teaching re-sources in the country. But notjust this. The psychology depart-ment is one of the youngest andsmallest in College. Dublin was, infact, one of the last universities inthe British Isles to establish a de-partment in the discipline.

One may well regard this under-emphasis as a trifle unrealistic if

tury. In the last few hundredyears man has applied scientific andrational methods to the control ofmatter with quite phenomenal re-sults. The s a me techniquesapplied by medicine have de-veloped the potential for surgicaland pharmacological control of thebody. Psychology is relatively avery young science. Its subjectmatter is also very complex. Con-trol of matter has so far outstrippedour understanding and control ofourselves that this imbalance repre-sents our most formidable currentproblem. Both environmental con-tamination and the development ofweapons of incredible destructivepower pose a threat on whichspecies survival may well depend.I am not suggesting that psychol-ogy holds that many answers atpresent. But if answers are forth-coming, presumably it will bethe social sciences, includingpsychology, that will be instru-mental m providing them.Psychology is not just an interest-ing and absorbing discipline Ithas immense practical importance.

The present marginal capacity ofthe department would seem un-realistic for another reason.Psychology, because unfortunatelyit is not studied at school, doesnot present itself as an immediatechoice to most university entrants.However, pressure of numbers onthe psychology department is in-creasing such that last year onlyone out of four qualified applicantscould be accepted.

LETTERS TO THE ]SIDITORPLAYERS

Sir,~Has the practice of per-sonality cuks in College gone sofar that it is now necessary to havea portrait of the Chairman ofPlayers on the front of their termprogramme?~Yours,

REVINGTON

Sir,~Having read your remarksconcerning what I did at theU.S.I. Congress, there are a fewthings that I would like to clearup. I was called upon to attendCongress only after the with-drawal of the leader who got ’flu.During Congress I spoke at leastfour times in commissionsessions, twice at the social andcukural session and twice at "TheRole of U.S.I." debate. I did notspeak at the plenary session becauseI was an observer and did notthink that it was my place to speak.I was indeed ill-informed and ill-prepared, firstly because I receivedno documentation and secondlybecause I did not know beforehandthat I would be needed and so wasnot prepared.

A regret the way you decidedto lauch this attack. You hadn’tthe guts to name me in youreditorial and when I explained myposition you didn’t think it worthyour while to mention that I hada case, let alone give it.~Yoursetc.,

Joe Revington.

Sir,~Perhaps it is not so irre-sponsible to name the "recalcit-rant " member of the S.R.C. dele-gation to U.S.I., for now he maydefend himself and others maycomment.

Anyone who knows Joe Reving-ton at all well knows that he excelsin lobbying and in the persuasionof the waverer. His speeches, onthe other hand, while colourful andlively, often have an adverse effectupon his case. Further, since heattended the conference as an ob-server, he presumably was not ex-pected to speak. If he was ill-in-formed, perhaps it was because hewas called upon at the last momentto replace another delegate whowas unable to attend.

Since his views on nearly every-thing are the wrong ones, the

S.R.C. may have been reprehen-sible in sending him, but that isanother matter.~Yours sincerely,

Victor Allen.

SPIRITUALISM IN (OLLEGEThe majority of students in

College seem to have no con-ception of what Spiritualismmeans. Most of us have playedplanchette, but we really suspectthat somebody is pushing the glass.The spirit is usually such a terriblespeller that the "message" is notworth while trying to interpret.

One of the College Ministerssaid: "I shouldhate to think thatanyone going to the bother of con-tacting me after death would re-ceive the trivial sort of message I’veheard most spirits are supposed’ tosend their loved ones." He added:"I really can’t see the point of try-ing to contact the deceased. I feelthat psychologically it’s a badthing for the bereaved. After themourning period, I think peopleshould get on with re-adjustingthemselves to their circumstances."

All students with some knowl-edge of spiritualistic practices in-sist on anonymity. One Anglo-Irishsaid: "Publish my name and I’llhave the reputation of being aweirdie. I’ve got a future careerin business to think of." Those whotake it seriously feel that meddlingin spiritualism is potentiallydangerous, particularly for themedium. Some Africans haverelatives who have gone mad be-cause they had insufficient forceto combat the personality (possiblyvery evil) of the contacted spirit.

One student explained why hetried to contact spirits: "I feelthat a spirit is a lonely being try-ing to communicate with someone.It is my Christian duty to help it,although I don’t feel there is muchhope. Planchette usually endswith the glass whizzing round likemad, everyone gets worried and thespirit is more lonely and confusedthan ever. We just don’t try hardenough to understand."

Another commented: "By hav-ing something physical like theglass to concentrate on you becomeattuned more easily and the spiritcan Communicate. It generallyspeaks through one person whomoves ~ the glass."

The most interesting information

came from a member of a well-known " secret" society. " Ifpeople think that they’re referringto the dead when they talk aboutspirits they’re way out. Spirits arehere just like that door. In theair there are many images wehaven’t been trained to perceive.Take electricity. It’s a force youcan’t see but you can recognise byits manifestations. We really come’in contact’ when we’re dreamingbecause then we lose our person-ality. Dreaming is the subjectivepersonality of man.

" When a baby first breathes ittakes in a spirit. When the persondies the spirit goes back into theair and waits until it can enteranother physical body. Mediumsare fools and usually phoneys asthey don’t understand what they’redoing. ’ Spirit’ is a very misusedterm as it suggests somethingsupernatural. Essentially, if we con-centrate hard enough we couldcontact a spirit any time. About20% of those who practice BlackMagic ;are genuine. The cere-monies used by mediums andthose twits in College who playPlanchette are irrelevant and mean-ingless. If people attempted toincrease their perceptual awarenessthey could achieve anything."

WHITE BLUES

CONTRADICTIONAmerican blues recordings have

been selling extremely well inEngland for the last few years, andmany not issued in England are.being imported. Recently, Arhoolie,a small specialist American blueslabel, announced its intention ofissuing its records in England,thereby avoiding the exhorbitantimport duty. In England, MikeVernon has just begun a new label,Blues Horizon, in conjunction withC.B.S., to market recording byEnglish blues groups.

To the purist collector, white

At Mary Swain’s and Bridget-O’Brian-Twohig’s cocktail partyon Friday, Michelle Berriedale-Johnson posed as George Sand,while Angus Avery gazed inMusset-like adoration at her creamruffles. Richard Douglas pinionedJill Bingham into a corner, but shekept him at arm’s length with herlong, long cigarette holder whichpeeped out from her long, longcrimped hair. Ronald Farmiloe,who was on the prowl for a straygirl to charm: pity he didn’t en-

counter Jane Cooper, bent on asimilar errand. Charles Duttonlurked far from the maddingcrowd in drunken splendour, butPeter Jordan didn’t have a chanceto get drunk, he arrived just aseveryone else was leaving. Every-one except Kevin Shilingtlon andRuth MaeAusland who didn’tseem to realise that the party wasover. Eva Dreaped herself overPaddly Scott, unwound herselfand progressed up the socialladder to Charles MeClean!

blues bands are almost a contra-diction in terms, and it is true thatmany of the early white bands wereremarkably bad. But there is nowa very high standard of musician-ship prevalent in the better knowngroups. The Chicago area is oneof the riches in both white andNegro bands, one of my personalfavourites from this area being thePaul Butterfield Blues Band.Apart from Butterfield’s excellentharmonica and Mike Bloomfield’sincredibly agile guitar playing, theband has a punch and drive in therhythem section that is all tooobviously missing in many otherbands, particularly on this side ofthe Atlantic.

All blues addicts in Britain willhave at one time or another haveheard of John Mayall. Followingafter the late Cyril Davies andAlexis Korner, he has, unlike hiscontemporaries, stuck to his ~gul}.Sthrough all fads and changes infashion. His singles are seldomeither good or popular, but hisL.P.’s nearly always rate in theL.P. charts. Particularly good ishis L.P. with Clapton, and also"Hard Road," the follow up, withPeter Green. And if you still don’tthink white musicians can playblues, then listen to some of theprimitive sounds on Ace of Clubs"release, "Raw Blues," whichfeatures Eric Clapton with OtisSpann, John Mayall alone and withPeter Green plus other assortedartists. When all is said and done,Elvis Presley’s early influenceswere the blues and the same appliesto the Beatles. A revival of the realthing seems long overdue.

"I never saw myself as a studentpolitician. But I did believe in theS.R.C. as a voice for students. SoI tried to get some friends of mineelected. Then they turned thetables on me; somehow or anotherI was the candidate, while theywere conducting my election cam-paignl It’s just been one horribleglissade ever since."

Howard Kinlay, recently re-elected to the gruelling position ofPresident of U.S.I., possesses anunusual combination of honestya n d vigorous professionalismwhich has made him outstandingin the organisation.

Kinlay graduated from Trinitylast June. He was once Vice-President of the S.R.C. "I don’tquite know how that happened,either. I was down in Cork fora singing week-end " (he was wellknown in Irish ballad circles forhis "Rosemary and Howard "numbers). "When I returned Iwas informed that I had beenelected."

The primary function of U.S.I.,Kinlay insists, is to get studentstogether and to give them a col-lective voice. This is manifestedparticularly at the annual Con-gress. At this year’s, he felt thatthere was a lot of positive argu-ment on worthwhile topics, al-though it was slightly disappoint-ing that delegates were not alwaysas well briefed as they should be.

Kinlay feels that Trinity S.R.C.

has definitely improved since hisday, but holds that this is just amatter of time--it isn’t due to anyparticular individual. "The S.R.C.in Trinity is in a peculiar position;it is only a child compared to theold men of the Major Societies,and they make the mistake of re-garding each other as enemies. Therow over the debating competitionhas only aggravated this."

Kinlay’s loyalties show no

howard kinlay

Trinity bias---the merger, he isconvinced, will not involve the lossof the colleges’ separate identities."It would be a ridiculously un-economic proposition to shovethem together, and would swampthe other Dublin colleges. With16,000 students in a city, two uni’versity campuses are absolutelynecessary."

It seemed an anachronism to askKinlay about his activities apart-from the exertions of the U.S.I.presidency. He told me, somewhatruefully, about the things hecouldn’t manage to do now. I’mmarried, with two children, and’that it my life away from U.S.I.I really regret my reading, whickis impossible, time-wise, now,Visits to the cinema are a highspot; the last one was mid-November and I’m due foranother soon."

Would he stand again for thePresidency? He thought before re-plying. "If, say next Januarycomes, and I still haven’t givenwhat I feel I can to U.S.I., thenI’ll have a hard think. I’ll eithergive up, or if I feel I just need alittle more time, I would continue.But frankly, the thought horrifiesme at the moment."

What happens to the individualafter a spell of tycoon-like respon-sibility and overwork as Presidentof U.S.I.? Kinlay is tremenouslyinterested in education, and wouldlike to do research in the subject;for U.N.E.S.C.O. or perhaps backat Trinity.

However, she can be classifiedinto certain species---thus the fol-lowing categories of the TrinityFashion Bird: Escapee from theKing’s Road (warned about lastweek).

THE "BOOT" McCOMBEWilliam McCombe, who made

his debut for Ireland againstFrance last Saturday, was Trinity’sfirst Irish Rugby Internationalsince Larry L’Estrange was cappedin 1962. In Paris, McCombedemonstrated very ably indeed oneof his prime assets, namely, hisgoal kicking ability. Ever sinceDon Clarke kicked six penakygoals to win a test match againstthe British Lions in 1959, peoplehave become increasingly aware ofthe value of a reliable goal kicker.

On Saturday McCombe put overtwo fine goals, especially as theywere on the wrong side of the fieldfor his soccer or "round the houses"style of kicking. However, hedemonstrated ability beyond meregoal kicking with some excellenttouch and tactical kicking, especi-ally in the second half. He couldnot really be expected to attemptmuch in the way of making a break,a facet of his play which would un-doubtedly be improved if he couldincrease his speed a little. It wasperhaps this slight lack of pacewhich might have kept him frombeing selected as a centre for theEnglish match. Certainly Waleshave found a place for KeithJarrett whose main asset, goal kick-ing, is also one of McCombe’s,akhough his speed makes himeasier to fit into a side.

This international season so farhas been a very good one foryoung players with two nineteen-year-olds in the English back rowand six players of 21 or underin the English back row. YetMcCombe was playing in one ofthe most testing of all positions,namely, out-half, and there he didlittle but improve his standing inthe Rugby world and to showthat he certainly possesses theright temperament for international

games. For this, one feels surethat he would be the first toacknowledge his gratitude to scrumhalf Brendan Sherry who nursedhim through the testing and un-settling first twenty minutes duringwhich he not unnaturally had somedifficulty in finding his feet. Afterthis his game improved, although

--Dick Waterbury.

perhaps one would have liked tohave seen him serve his three-quarters a little more. Certainlythe experience of internationalrugby has done him no harm andhe will surely gain more caps inthe years to come. It is his mis-fortune but rugby’s joy that Irelandhave probably the best player in theworld in the out-half position,namely, Mike Gibson.

DUCAC’s role within CollegeBy the SPORTS EDITOR

The recent discussion over the sum ascribed toD.U.C.A.C. by the Standing Committee deserves a fewwords for those critics who hastily conclude that a toohigh percentage of the capitation fee is given to sport.The primary role of the capitation fee is the encourage-ment and promotion of student interests where thoseinterests will benefit the individual and will contribute tosociety in and out of the university. The second pointto be considered is that if the individual is to feel hiscapitation fee has been equally and democratically dis-

tributed, then the only egalitarian means of distributionis the percentage ratio of those bebnging to a particularsociety to that of the sum prescribed by the StandingCommittee. It is inevitable that, in the case of somesocieties, the amount of money needed to make it a viableorganisation will exceed the proporffonate number ofstudents within those societies, and in these cases if is theunenviable task of the Standing Committee to decide ifthe society will warrant its extra allocation by its owncontribution to Trinity and to the latter’s good name out-side the university.

In the case of the amount allocated to D.U.C.A.C., itis, firstly, relevant to consider that the number of studentspartaking under the auspices of D.U.C.A.C. is pro-portionate to the sum that is allocated. Secondly, the

intangible benefits that the various sports teams bring tothe good standing of Trinity are considerable, and theensuring inter-communication open to students of varyingbackgrounds cannot be under-estimated. The only doubt.ful factor in the sum the Standing Committee allocates toD.U.C.A.C. must rest in the amount calculated for enter.tainment expenses and for overseas tours. In both casesthere is need for a rational analysis of the amount to beshared between student and D.U.C.A.C., and for a morerepresentative body of student opinion on the StandingCommittee. But for those whose emotional bias mighthastily denounce the amount given to D.U.C.A.C. as ill.spent, let them remember the good name brought toTrinity by her sportsmen. They may be forgetting whatthe capitation fee is all about.

SECOND WININ CORK

Sundays Well .................... 3Trinity ............................ 17

Cork was the venue for lastSaturday’s match, arranged insteadof the usual Oxbridge tour whichwas cancelled because of foot andmouth epidemic.

It was soon evidence thatTrinity’s backs held a definite ad-’vantage over their opposites. Theball reached our centres before thearrival of their counterparts andthe left wing pair of Verso andKelly looked particularly danger-out. Sadly, however, the forwardswere unable to supply enough ballin the second half and the scorecould have been much larger.

At half-time Trinity led 9-0with tries by Dochery, Kelly anda Davies penalty. A SundaysWell’s penalty soon after, however,gave the home side the encourage-ment they needed and on a numberof occasions they could havescored. Many of their attacksstarted from the back of the line-out. Two more tries, however,were scored by Verso and Kelly,one of which Murphy converted.

To win two matches in Munsterduring the same week is no meanfeat, and Wednesday’s win overU.C.C. means that all the IrishUniversities, apart from U.C.G.,have been defeated.

Despitethe fact that Trinity lost in thesemi-final, the competition was aresounding success, in that the sideshowed that they were as capableof attractive football as theiropponents.

ANDERSON ADDS IMPETUSTrinity .............................. 5 A.U.L. Rosmore .................. 3

Trinity beat A.U.L. Rosmoreby five goals to three at CollegePark last Saturday on an afternoonwhich was far from conducive to ahigh standard of football. Butboth teams remained unaffectedby the conditions. The first-halfproduced the most attractive foot-ball, but the Trinity defence wascaught in a tangle when Rosmoreopened the scoring. Leonard soonlevelled the scores and Macreadyadded a penalty. Trinity appearedconfident and easily stifled anypromising Rosmore attacks.Occasionally the defence wascaught lying square, but this weak-ness was not exploited to any greatextent. The Trinity forwards wereproving very dangerous and theRosmore defence was dangerouslystretched. Anderson was especi-ally unlucky with several strongshots and headers. But his

presence in the forward line was ofimmense value. His bustling andharrassing of the Rosmore defencewas a major cause in Trinity gain.ing a grip on the game. Trinitywere occasionally vulnerable downthe centre, but Bleakeley probablyhelped to fill his absence and oftenprevented any moves from becom-iing dangerous. The half-time scorewas 3-1.

The second half started promis-ing when Anderson just headedabove the bar. Clapp then scoredagain to make it 4-1. Then theTrinity attacks received addedweight with Ballard often movingdown the left wing. But afterhaving had such a solid hold onthe game, Trinity were surprisedwith two goals from Rosmore, in.terspersed with a slick goal fromMacready to make the final score5-3.
