(1) Australian Univenitiet Commission: The Union presented a comprehensive lubmistion to the A.U.C. when it visited the University early in Sep- tember. The submission was in three sections, viz: (a/ A submission on the need for extensions to the present Union Buildings to provide:— (i) increased Refectory space to seat an additional 600.

(ii) Most of our existing facilities are singfe-purpose units, but we are finding it increasingly necessary to use these facilities for a number of purposes. The multi- plicity of usage was not pro- vided for, and the re-arrange- mentt and removal of furni- ture not only are of consider- able expense to the Union, but also, in some cases, are limiting the use of other areas whieh are filled with Common Room furniture.

(3) Discount Schemes: At a recent meeting of the Union Executive, a sub-com- mittee was formed to investi- gate the various discount schemes available to students.

Mr. Harilaker admlls thai u nuclear holocaust would adversely affect the genus of the .survivors (if any) but lu Horendy conddont of the Improbability of .such a cal­amity whilst the two Mis-tcr.s K. hold sway. Mr. Jlardakcr has rather more contldcnct In these pontlc-mcn than 1 have. However I would like to remove tho slur of being "mlalnformod or uninformed" from my article by referring the reader to an article In the New York Times, 15/4/G2 by Profcsaor Linus PaullnR, a Nobel Prize winner. Paul­ine opposes nuclear tcstiiiB on the Kround.s that Bross genetic damage is bcinR (lone to unborn children by Atomic Uadiatlon already In the atmosphere which will

inoruase with further test­ing. L'nfortunately this art­icle Is too long to quote In its cntlrlty. but an extract should convey the gl.it of it.

"An lncrcji.sc by f/'r ittn-Kuufnp; for an cflTwtlve I)criod of 40 years (for two-thii-d.s) and »r>0 years (for oiic-thli'd) would nc<X)rd-fnf,'ly produce alKnit 280,000 viable children with ^rosw phy.slcal or mcnt^il ilcfct;t, iL-vsiimlnK that the minibcr of children born per year renialiLs (constant.

If this inforrpatlon is not oomplcloly convincini;, tlion 1 would refer you to ii. ro-port Issued by the .Joint Con(?n2ssion!il CominSltci' on .Moniic Knci-fiy. This is nn extract (loallnjj with tho liiolOKlcal effects of radia­tion.

"There arc two lytics of daniap^c thnt niuy be piii-diicC4l by radioactive fall-(iiif, known as "Soinalle" and "(Jenctie". Somatic dainaf^c Is ditnia){e to the lirKly by exposure to radia­tion.

I eould continue ciuotliiB f'.oni such articles and re­ports ad inllnitum but. frankly. I do not think it necessary. If Mr. Harchikcr

atm focKs that I am making Cas.sndra-!ikc a Q u a w k s about something slightly less dangerous than the woarlnp of over tight irouacrs, then I can. only assume that he is sutTcring mental constriction from this vcry cause!

Is Mr. llaidaUor trying to refute the original argu­ment for the banning of niielcar testing or Is ho simply delivering ii banned sclentiJic discus.sion on radi­ation and humanity? The lotter fails to montion other dangers present to everyone alive today—the sterility and dUseases caused by an overdose of radiation. Has he forgotten Hiroshima already?

In the dally press there are numerous examples of IKMipIc throughout the world, who disagree .violently with niieicai* tcstini;. A\nio can sjiy that continual develop­ment of highly cITIclent niiclenr weapons docs not j'liise a threat of nuclear wnr to human survival? Tlie preservation of iicacc by the iinMluctlon of arms Is rather imradoxical. Wliilc the level of radiation of the ICjirth does ri.se, wc are ex-jiectcil to condone llic actioas of four governments.

the philosophy of science: a starting point "Science Speaks" is a cot-

lection of essays and addresses by scientists and thinkers of modern times, edited by Hume Dow, Professor of Rhetoric at Melbourne University. His reader is the little-iniormed but intelligent layman con­fused by recent surges in the scientific revolution — some glorious, some terrifying but ail slightly mysterious to non-scientists. Scientists them­selves, however, arc not fully aware of the implications of their work in a human con­text. This then is the aim of "Science Speaks"—to re­

veal to questioning faymcn somo of the many different opinions of the ultimate aim of scientific discovery held by the very leaders in re­search,

poetry for studeets

To quote the dust—jaeJtet of this book, "This scries is an attempt to introduce con­temporary poetry to tho gen­eral reader by publishing some thirty poems by each af three modern poets in a single volume."

The poets treated in tlie firsit volume arc )iardly wtll-kno'.vn to the general reading public, and tliercforc the book serves nor only to introduce pocuy. but modem poets also. The poets represented in this book arc Lawrence Durrell, Elizabeth Jennings and R. S. Thomas. Unlike many other PenRuin poetry collections, there is no introduction, and so the reader is left to make his own way into the work of these tliree.

However, this cannot^ be said I of all the poems, especially some ; of those of Thomas, which briiip out the true spirit of the Welsh mountains and countryside, wiihout the' psychological im­plications of h.is name.-iake and countryman.

Most of the poetry of Dur- ' rcil in this collection is of the . "d i f f i cu l t " standard, whereas I that of Elizabeth Jennings, while still beyond the reach J of the average reader, is j capable of strangely iucid i moments of universal appeal.

In section two wc sec how these broad issues apply in practice. Two scientists, a physiologist and a chemist who themselves have exper­ienced the joy of an import­ant discovery, describe the birth of an idea in a wcll-prcpared mind and its pur­suit to truth through experi­ment. Both essays, particu­larly W. B. Cannon's "Gains from Serendipity" are fascina­ting in the details they re­veal. Charles Darwin is per­haps an ideal example of a mail of science. Well chosen extracts from his autobiog­raphy, linked by shorf notes

by the editor serve to illus­trate coitcrctely what scien­tists set as their goal—impar­tial and unmuddlcd vision of pattern underlying' a diversity of things.

An excellent bibliography at the end compensates for the size and price of "Scicnco Speaks", designed for the lay public. The editor has included biographical notes on the authors, whom he has chosen well for their s t imu­lating ideas and simplicity of expression. Enough differing opinions arc included to show that not one problem raised by modern science has yet been answered even to the satisfaction of scientists, let alone to laymen. Therefore the common man must be aware of the many currents and deeps in ideas regarding Science and morals to play his vital role in helping to bring these to a union benefiting the world before it is too late. "Science Speaks" is a very good starting point.

I did not like very much the performance in the Seventh ^'outli Concert. Tlic Q.S.O.'s playing was ex­tremely tentative and re­tiring (some of it out of time, t\s in the preceding Mozurt overture to "II Sera­glio") nnd In the first move­ment, especially, co-ordina­tion of orebcslrn and solo­ist was none too good.

PAGE 4 SEMPER FLOREAT, FRIDAY, OCTOBER S, 1962

A special supplement of two pages of overseas student news

A background to the race riots in Mississippi

As Semper went to press the news services brought word of, the chaos in Oxford, f\Mssissippi.

Oxford, a town of 5,500 people hat been occupied by 4,000 federal troops and nat­ional guardsmen. The Mayor and town council have been isolated in the Court- House square and the University of Mississippi campus at the hamlet of University on the town outskirts is a wreck of burnt-out cars, discarded tear gas shells, and hand made weapons.

Two mon died and several people were critically injured in the final student demon­stration in which a bulldoxer was used as a tank in an un­successful attempt to breach

the security cordon and enter the University administration building. Agitators have col-Iccted in the town from more than 500 miles away to egg the students on and generally continue the state of unrest.

Racial conflict has troubled the State of Mississippi since its inception: The state was crossed by De Soto in 1840, and colonized by the French under Iberville in 1699. The British seized the territory from the French in 1763 and yielded to fhe Spanish in 1779. The United States took over in 1798 and moved the Indian tribes across the River, With Alabama the State formed the Mississippi Terri­tory. The settlers fought against the British in the

Battle of New Orleans, 1815. The State was finally ad­

mitted to the Union, Dec. 10, 1817, On Jan. 9, 1861 the State seceded from the Union and became the sec­ond state to join the Confed­eracy. Gefferson Davis, Gov­ernor of Mississippi, became Confederate President.

After the Civil War the State was placed under mil­itary rule. The notorious "Black and Tan Convention" of 1868 adopted a constitu­tion which conferred suffrage on the negroes, and the im­position of test oaths dis­franchised the leading whites. This constitution was first re­jected at the polls, but was finally carried in fslov, 1869 —without the disfranchising clauses. The state was form-

Dramatic climax to Quebec student conference (This irticle was compiled from the preliminary report on the tenth International Sludent Conference, prepared by Austrjiian deloKates Ian Ernst and Cregg Harvey, and presented to the Council Meeting of N.U.A.U.S. In August, 1962.)

The tenth International Student Conference, held at Laval University, Que­bec, Canada from June Z7 to July 8, this year, was one of the most dramatic internationaJ student meetings ever, and reached a climax in the walkout of some thirty nations.

The trouble starte(d with the Credentials Committee which exam­ines the claims of national student organizations to being genuinely represen­tative. Following a caucus meeting of the Asian na­tions, Australia found it­self a member of this critical committee, to­gether with France, Cey­lon, Britain, Paraguay, Sweden and West Africa.

Left tving This Credentials Committee

ploughed through the cred­entials of some 60 National Unions of Students—and then bogged down on the cose of C.N.E., the Mexican National Union, who were challenged by Uruguay. Mexico, being considered the most "react-tionary" of fhe Latin Ameri­cans was also challenged, automatically, by all of the Left Wing (Fidel ist 1 Latin American countries, who In this case favoured a small (but Leftish) group in Mex­ico. The C.N.E. presented overwhelming documentation of its being truly representa­tive. Nevertheless, France and West Africa took firm Leftist lines at the Credentials Com­mittee level, and managed to prolong debate there for some twelve hours befijre a decision vras reached, in favour of C.N.E,

This debtfc had Important eoniequences. In the f int pbee, it WM tho opening move in the battle botween

the Leftist, pro-Castro, Latin American countriet, and the centre-tst Christian Democrat countries, into whieh Latin America ii split.

In the second place, the twelve hour debate made it clear that some doubt existed about C.N.E. and left the way open for discussion in Plenary sessions of the Credentials Committee's report. (The dis­cussion, in fact, continued for a further, twelve hours in Plenary and cast even more doubts on C.N.E.).

In the third place, it set the stage for more drastic attempts to recognize other groups in other Latin American countries—notably Argentina and Puerto Rico. However, at long last, the Plenary admitted C.N.E. by a small majority.

broke when Ihe Credential! Committee began discussion of the case of Puerto Rico '— a discussion that continuued for 36 hours on a committee of five. The central issue wai the admission of F.U.P.I. which had previously represented Puerto Rito at the Inteinst-ional Student Conferences, but was now challenged by another organisation: C.P.F.O.U.

After the first 24 hours of heated debate, the Committee stood with France, West Africa, and Ceylon inflexibly committed to F.U.P.I.; Aus­tralia, Sweden and Britain (in the Chair) against; and Para­guay torn between the strong objective case against F.U.P.I., on the one hand, and his own political affiliation coupled with strong pressure from his co-delegate, on the other.

For the next twelve hours debate continued at almost physical violence level, whilst Australia sought to gain time in order to find support in Plenary for some compromise that would avert the inevit­able (already-announced) walkout if F.U.P.I. was not admitted.

Long debates Just at the point where

Paraguay wai about to accept a eompromite motion on the Committee, recognising the potential of C.P.F.O.U. md granting special itatus to

F.U.P.I., in the light of its past representation and its stand against U.S. imperialism whieh we would alio have accepted, C.P.F.O.U. withdrew "to avert the breakdown of the Conference". Paraguay then swung; the major tap-porters of CP.F.O.U. reckoned that they could achieve an overwhelming abstention on the vote in Plenary which would almost certainly result in re-examination of F.U.P.I. at the next I.S.C; and the Committee endors^ F.U.P.I., with Austrfilia against, 3 abstentions, and 3 favour.

There followed in Plenary a relatively short 11 hour de­bate in which the tension was tremendous. Almost every country spoke; Latin America split wide apart, as did several individual delegations; one interpreter was helped, almost in tears, from the booth; and then — as the speaking list closed--five countries requested secret ballot. The delegate from Luxemburg rose to his feet, and with face white, through clenched teeth, and with fists pounding the table, screamed: "Murderers! Mur­derers of Democracy!"

Mental strain The ballot papers were col­

lected and counted out loud, one vote at a time. As the necessary majority against F.U.P.I. was passed, people began collecting papers. As the vote was announced, (a majority of 8 or so against F.U.P.I.) there was a storm towards the doors by some 30 delegations (about 70 people); one of the French delegates, a girl, brol e down completely after the mental strain, The one tension-re­lieving feature was that the doors were still locked from the ballot-counting and had to be opened to allow the walk­out to proceed.

The incredible patience and stamina of Wahid Ali, of the West Indies, who chaired this session for a total of some 18 hours, with only one break, of 45 minutes, must be regarded ai one of the most outstanding individual achieve­ment* to the tenth I.S.C.

Republicans were supreme in government from 1870 to 1875. tit 1874 Ihe Repub­licans fell out and Ames was elected governor, Negro influ­ence reached its xenith but the "carpet bagging" of the previous years took effect and a Democrat landslide was re­turned to the legislature in 1875. Governor Ames had a charge of impeachment pre­ferred and resigned. The Lieutenant-Governor and Dir­ector of Public Schools, both negroes, were impeached. Work was started on re­writing the state constitution and the present constitution was adopted on Nov. j , 1890. This constitution has as its special object the preserva­tion, in a legal manner, of the whites' supremacy over the ignorant Negro majority.

The University of Mississ­ippi is state controlled, being governed by a board of trus­tees composed of the State (Sovernor, University Chancel­lor (the chief adminlstrafion officerl and twelve other members. State control of

higher education in Mississ­ippi has been abused in the past. One Governor, Bilboe, boasted of how he fired two college presidents and appoin­ted another in one afternoon. This same Governor on as­suming office dismissed 239 lecturers and appointed friends in their places; the political spoils system invaded the State Education System.

With the adoption of a new Educational Code in 1953 matters improved.

The University of MissisS' ippi, chartered 1844, and opened 1848, occupies 60 acres cf a 640 acre wooded hilly site. It is a co-educa­tional institution with 4,114 full time students and 696 part-time students, taught by a faculty of 420, in 1961. Further, the University has an endowment $1,003,259 and a library of 316,324 bound volumes including the Garner Memorial Collection of Political Science and Inter­national Law and several thousand volumes of Mississ-ippiana.

Mississippi is the last pro­hibition state in the U.S.A.:

hard liquor Is illegal while wines and beers have been voted out of many counties by local option pnalls—open sale of liquor occurs ojf> the Gulf Coast and in the larger Mississippi River towns — for which the state collects a "black market tax".

In 1961 the Freedom Riders, negro and white stu­dents from northern univer­sities, travelled through the state on a bus surrounded by an escort of national guards­men.

Now Oxford is the centre of world attention: a large student population —' young people full of the exuberance of youth — finds itself the centre of intrigues by the extreme right wing of Ameri­can politics, while endeavour­ing to cope wilb the chal I lenge of accepting the illogic of the long standing racial prejudices of the American South. So far the students have not met the challenge but have followed the actions of State Governor Barnett ani others pledged to defying Articles X I V and XV of the United States Constitution.

In cxprcs.sinf; un opinion especially when it Ls uljout a topic ns ve.xeil ns the one I hnvc cho.scn. It Ls a toplo about which most of my compatrlot.s feel .stiYHiKly.

for the The author, Mr. S. B. Timbo, is the

president of the Students' Representative Council of Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone. The college is now the University College of Sierra Leone and its long affilia­tion tvith the University of London has allowed students there to take a British degree since 1876.

The cry "Atricii tor the Africans" is often inter­preted unrealiatically ami often intended lo catch tho more gullible type of voter In Africa. Similarly. In cer­tain parts of our contlno'.it politicians preach trlb.Tli.sii, and tribal superiority •for political ends. But the ox-presion does not mean ox-clusion ot Europeans. It only asks them not to come a-iU teach MS the lesson of '•gooil nmnner.s" in our l-nij.

Toleration liven In West Africa,

where the white man lum not niado his home, wc nrc prepared to tolerate white citizens provideil they are ready to play the ^anic. tVxt wc must insl-st that the yanie of African politics should be played according to rules fonnnlated in .'Ifrlcn and not according to rules dreamt of In the colonial oflices of the Imperial powers.

One may admire sonieono and yet have no Intention of emulating hlni. l''or Inatance, I am a Muslim, but I greatly admire the teach­ings of Christ. Alternatively, one may agree w lth the point of view of .somcono bUt disagree as to the method of approach. Thus Britain, .which was' in con­stant opposition to the French' Revolution and Its heir Napoleon bccaine, after the revolutionary and Nap­oleonic wars, the leading proponent of the political and civil liberties which the Revolution had brought tnto the world. Llbertc, Egalltc, Praternlte could be achieved without a bloody revolution. Equally so In Africa, equality can be won without blood­shed and bitterness.

lie free to enslave others. Tho nationalism that tries to shut out others is only trlballatn on a larger acull^ Where necessary wo iiro prepared to die with man­kind to defend Ideals wlilch in our Judgment are noble. Tho cxperienco of two world war.s has conllrmod this. 'Wo believe wc have a lot to offer to mankind but wo cannot wlicn wo are gagged. This Is our contention, and I believe U is shared by our friends with whom we share the cltlzen.shlp of the world. Truth 1.1 Irresistible wlint-over Its source.

Our nntioniilisin is not an end 111 itself but merely a ha.sis for a univcr.sal ap-lironcli to humanism. This was why .Mali wanted hor IntcriiaUonal sovereignty and why the rrencli Com-iiniiiity was traasfoiincd into a looser association. It wjis for this and not for mere economic self-interest that (iiilnca chose the hard abrupt way to independence. Wc believe In the common destiny of man whatever his race, colour or religion.

Warnifig

Ideals These principles niu.st be

trapped by those who now oppose African nationalism. We do not hate human beings. We arc against dom-tnatloh In any form. We want human dignity for the African. We want to be

''loft to decide our own des­tinies. We do not want to

Sekou Toura, Praildenf «rf Guinea.

What Africans really need Is unity. Africans should unite and point a warning finger to both America and Russia that they must not carry their ^luarrel Into Africa. If they feel they are strong let them try their strength in Europe aud America. To come to Africa and to set Africans against Africans is Intolerable.

Wc believe there is no yardstick for meiusuring the ])oIitlCiil nmtiirity of a tuition. All nations nrc technically xindertlcvelopcd because all arc In the dcvciopliiK process. The Aggressive und c.xpan-sicmist ]M)Iicy of n European lK>wei' lias brought untold sulTering to mankind. Yet no one has ever .suggcstcti that the white innn is unfit to govern himself. Is n inlllt> nrist outlook the criterion of civilized behaviour? Then Africa Ls not qualified.

Sekou Toure Colonialism seems to build

its own basis of destruction. Sekou Touro. the "enfant terrible" of former French West Africa, has his political philosophy based on the motto of the French Revo­lution: Liberty, Equality, Fraternity or Death; and on Scptcnibcr 2S, 1958, he chose to starve In freedom rather than be a slave in plenty. The shocking aspect Is the brutal treatment the French chose to give the Guinea President. Many African countries have acceded to their Independence with some ceremonial gesture ot mutual good will. But do Gaulle had other ideas, und by his behaviour he embarr­assed his Western Allies who allowed Gulncan relations to be temporarily monopolized by the East. The trap which do Gaulle set for Guinea recoiled on France, which for some tlmo became thu moat unpopular European country in Africa.

Sckou Totlrc has no bitter­ness .against Prance. Ho op-

|K).ses her policy towards Africa tint still talks warmly of France nnd liLs friends In that country. I'resldcnt Toiirc a m take courages Freetlom Is not won on a .silver platter. Louis XVI did not concede gracefully to Marat,

The sudden withdrawal of tho I'Yench from Guinea left a gap that had to bo llllod somehow. Guinea is rela­tively unindustriallzcd. Sekou Tourc made ovnrturos to tho West, which hung back be­cause it feared It would Incur de Gaulle's wrath. Gulncans had to live. There was no choice when help and recognition came from the East.

Western fears It might be argued that

the motives behind the East­ern help were irrelevant. The European powers who colonized Africa In the nine­teenth century did not come to civilize the African but to find raw material and markets for their Industries und to forestall their rivals. But the material benefit to both sides cannot be denied.

Western fears seem to be based on two fundamental n.sstuniitlons: t h a t the Jiustern j)owers have iwUt-Icnl motives behind their proITeretl help nnd that the African can be made an im-\vltting accomplice of the communists. The latter assumption, at least, would seem dubious. For example, one can recall Prcisldcnt X a s 8 e r 's unprecedented uttnciv on communism when Russhui uid wns flooding his country. If the African accepts any ideology, it Is because he likes it and not because .someone has fooled lilni Into accepting it. It he accepts it you caimot do anything else about it, as the future of Africa is what Afrlcjirw want it to be.

Tho acceptance of an ideology presupposes the absence of any other or the relative weakness of the existing.one. Wo may Import locomotives and refrigera­tors because we lack, at least temporarily, the skill for their manufacture, Idoius cannot be Imported in this way; they cannot bo sub­jected to the same physical treatment. Perhaps Africans would like to search their mliuls.

End hysteria The West .should stop

being Iiystcricat about com­muni.st iiillltratlon in Africa. They .sliould forget their piist relations with the Afri­can colonics and know that they nrc dealing with nations. Then they need not fear comnninlsni. If (ximnni-nlsm liJ to win the world, as Mr. Urushchev claims, then its base will be In I-hiropc and America. The n'est, has a strong Icml in .' Lfrica. It wlU lo.sc this only If it cannot adapt Itself to the changed conditions. Tlic I'Yench, for instance, should learn to be proud of Sekou Touro as the English are perhaps ot Dr, Nkrnnixh. ftfoko no mistake about it:

Africans .Sekou 'l\)iire Is not pro-l';u.stj he is not pro-West either. Prediction is dimgcroiis. Hut (mc tiling is certain, l i e Is pro-.^frha, which means pro-huiunnity.

The fooilnK ol prejudlco nj,'ainst another person merely bocause of hla race, colour or religion should ro-tnaiJt the mark of tho unedu-cated. In this connection wo arc prepared lo overlook the crimes of tho hooligans of Netting Hill and Little Rock, Hut wo do not believe that Faubua is typical of {ho American.

When intportant principles arc at stake, colour, race, or religious prejudice nuist of ncces.slty recede to the back­ground. Here it is nn im­portant Christian prfticlple that is at stake, and it would be tragic if the descendants of Livingstone, Wesley and IVllbcrforoe should comprom-1.SC it to sjitlsfy their self­ish ends. Tlic most im]Kirt-ant factor we Africans slinrc trnlay Is the tlireat of white domination, and It is this that Is ivnitting us together, Tho fear uf white domina­tion is doing for us what Soviet ambitions are doing for tho countries of Europe. Tlic factor Is n negative one but nonetheless very power­ful, nnd the conception of n United .States of Africa, however nebulous it niny appear at present, has to be reckoned with.

No ghetto It aocnis Hiost strange

that even well-meaning wliite men should be upset by such cries as "Africa for the -Africans". "-A frlean Personality", etc. Wo do not mean to exclude tliom. We cannot keep oursoivos in a hornietlcally sealed ghetto. Wo only want thom to leave us In peace and not in pieces, tn freedom to manage ouv affairs. This Is tho only realistic con­notation that wc expect trom Europe, tho homo of great ideas and natlonal-ls3m. We lovo Europeans as follow human beings but hate some of them .lust as one hates a thief. Wc at­tack principles not person­alities.

1 havo always admired tho governors of Siorru Leone, thoir geniality and the personal Interest tho.v take In the people in this country. But 1 have never found It a joy to look at the colonial Governors of this country especially when they are in their onictal UH (uaklng proclamations ubout the groat seal and the groat realm. Wc do not bollovo In their superiority, we hate their domineering altltudo. But wo do not want to destroy them—not no much because wc cannot, but because It la foreign to our nature.

.Africans to attribute any

.African Hchieveinent lo l iiropcjin hiltiieuce. Sekou Tourc Is often descrilicd us po.ssiswing French (nof Mallnke) ardciihitencss, Azl-klwe and .Nknimali are branded "Amerlcfin tralncjl". Often wc fall to see the in­nate qualities in these IH'oplc. Hence the nc«l to develop our own in.stltiitions. Our diplomats and social scientists mu.st be trained here according to our own way. This of course raises questions but these can be answered.

Must travel I am .thockcd by tho

mania of students to go overseas for studios thoy can do hero. We must travel widely to broaden our outlook, but let us do so as the English O.xford grad­uate goes to Franco or Russia. Wc should not go to foreign lands when our minds arc Immature and imbibe Ideas which, how­ever e.xcellent, are foreign to our society. Our admin­istrators often return to (Ind themselves social mis­fits. The benefit we derive from our Devonshire grad­uates lu psychological rather thajj real. I concede, how-over that psychological I'oa.sons can be very power­ful.

"A f r I c »11 Personality" docs not mean African ohstnictlonLsni. It is only an aspect of hunuiii personality. If .vou want a dellnltibn, this Is it, African dignity, African co-operntlon In fraternity. This is the meaning of the expression in Its political context.

One cannot philosophl/.e with the iK)puI«cc. "they are .Mark Antonys ready to take their cue. Declarations are no excuse for reprcsslie meas­ures especially u.s Ideas and Iirinelples have meaning oid.v when used in luirtlciilar contexts. Tom M'boya, who 111 Accra in IIIRH launched the "Quit Afrlai" campaign, returne<l from Ijondon last jenr ready to co-opcrale with tho.sc whites who will accept equality nnd major­ity rule. Group Captain llrlggs, the former Klght Wing 10uroi>can leader of the Kenya .scttlei*s, may linvci been a |K)lltlcal genius, but he .should linve real­ized thnt the white man bos no monopoly uf political Ideas. His sy.slem of qunll-flwl dcniocnu'y Is repulsive to us and totally unaccept­able fo .young Tom .M'boya.

Ca?idid '

Wei en sky The odlotis and mislead­

ing interpretation of our nationalism seems to eman­ate from certain Imporlalist circles of the Hoy Wclonsky mentality who want lo dis­credit us before tho oyes of tho world. Such phrases as "Africa for the Africans" and "African Personality" iiro emotive aud aro de­signed to robuihl African confldenco shattorod after a lonK period of colonial dis­integration and suppression. Moomcd is tho nation which has a colonial frame of mind. For ii people om-beddcd la a rut thoro is uo bettor oxlrlcallve forco than a feeling of luitlonallsm. Ghana and Guinea have realized this. .Sierra I.eono Is slooplng. Tho Premier said 30. There may not bo any clear detlnltlon of "African Personality", but jf wo accept the presence of British, Russian, French and American personalities then

• tho existence of an "Afri(!an Personality" Is logical.

This article is not a de­fence ot Imperialism In any form, it is the candid ex­pression of the feelings of one who thinks tlmt the principles involved In the struggle between African nationalism and white im­perialism aro somotimcs greatly misunderstood. It Is as well thoy arc gr.aspod, or problems may arise to the detriment of both camps. It is not enough for the two sides to sit at opposite camps .shouting slogans at each other. The danger la that events may drift to a point whore neither party can control them.

To bo Independent is to offer onr own Individual contribution to mankind. Thts is our nationalism. We are proud of It, and we are ready to die for the realiza­tion of its ideals.

In the U.H. Trusteeship Council Australia was tho only nation to oppose a motion condemning the ultra colonialism of the Portu­guese regime in Angola and Mozambique. This article is intended as a factual report of the Portuguese empire so that Australians can be aware of the reputation that wc must have in the eyes of the Afro-Asian Nations who pro­posed ttic resolution.

At the same time, foreign capital penetration in Portugal, particularly British, is probably more advanced than in any other European country. The British have strong interests in shipbuilding and electrical goods, the Germans in /'/nirmfifriittcu/s {.Meyer) and Engineering (Man­nesman, Krupp). There is a U.S. monopoly in the market­ing of cork.

Aruiy revolt Tho logical extension of

oronomlc archaism, brutal exploitation and omni-presont foreign capital Is a political regime of porman-ont violence. Only a massive inaclUnery of repression (ould keep tho whole intol-oiablo structure in place. The Haluzar dictatorship is procisoly this. Born in 102<i out of an army revolt, It was, like Spanish and Ijatlti -American counterparts, tho creation of a military and occloaiastical alliance. The bonoflciarios of tho regime arc tho feudal landowners and tlio oligarchy which

controls tho cartels. Church and Army in turn arc In­stitutional formations of these groups.

To sum up: Portugal, formerly tho third largest imporlal power lu tho world, today is Itself an undcr-dovolopod c o u n t r y . A largely pro-industrial Inn-a-struoturc, feudal ownership I.attorns, military para­mountry, a torpid fa.scism. This is the metropolitan complex which dotornilnes the specific system of Port-iiRUose ovor.seas domination; ultra-colonlalism — that Ls, at onoe the most primitive and tho moat oxtromo niodo of colonialism. It is in terms of those two clouiouts that an analysis of the Portuguese oinplro can be mado.

Tho Political Scientists would have it that the domin­ant force in the Australian political system is the Labor Party. The course of our pol­itical history is largely regard­ed as the reaction of tho forces of non-Labor to the inarch of the A.LP. The Crisp thesis is, however, nof well supported by the per­formance of the A.LP. in the recent sitting of Federal Par­liament, where a Loyai Oppo­sition of near majority num­erical strength was scarcely a force to be feared by the chastened L.C.P. Government.

'Hic cause of t)iis impotence nuiy be founJ in the Leader, .'Mttioiigh .\lr, Whitlam was praised for his aggressive attack on the l>ml(;ct tho praise given w-is often ill the form of a fav-our.iiilc comparison of this new­found a(:prcsiiion. with his pre­vious quietism.

In his recent speech to the Political Science Club, it ap­peared that this budget effort had exhausted him—at least, intellectuaily.

Catch-words TTie .Tudieiicc wa.": treated to

the usual criticisms of the L.C.P, policy—the "usualness" was to be expected since the Govcrnraeiu's faulty csiiniatioa of the shape .ind pro«pccts of the economy is widely known, even grudginnly admitted by some of the "Junior Eleven".

Tho constructive side of the (peech was largely confined to vague, goncrarrsation and ealch'wordi, and a statement of fhe need for an Australian overfeai-shipping line. After tppealing to tho revered

-Queenslander Theodoro, and fo

Lord Keynes as the well-springs of the cry for full employment (strange Penates for the ftousc of the A.L.P., especially Keynes who is re­garded as one of the saviours of the free enterprise system) Mr. Whitlam blamed the Menzies credit restrictions for our present unemployment.

Bold planning' This did not do justice to

Mr. \Vlutlan\'s own ideas, ex­pressed in an earlier nicctiiis: of the I'olitical Science Club. His oinph.isis then was on the need for hold planninp if .-Vustralia is to find jobs for the 80,000 to lOO.OOO added to our pot-• cntial work force each year. 'Hie problem was then seen as essentially a long range one, not to IK; spirited^ .iway by an expansionary poliq' in the monetary or fisc.n! sphere.

'Ihc l%2 Whitlam oflcvcd no aiiernaiivc to a restrictive mone­tary ijolicy to restrain the ex­cessive demand for goods (especially imports and motor cars) which lead to a ristj 'm the price and cost level in periods of near-full cniploy-meni. and to Balance of Pay-tnent.ii problems.

Overseas trade This latter problem of our

overseas trade balance occupied a large part of the speech; all that was offered as policy to improve our Balance of Pay­ments was that public enter­prise should step in where pri­vate enterprise is deficient, vii. ill shipping, insurance and credit. facilities for our over­seas trade.

On the face of it, .'\u.stralia ii.is been lucky, living for ten years beyond her means with rclativo impunity. The adverse Balance of Trade of £A1,600 miilions was financed by over­seas cipital. .VIr. Whitlam im­plied that wc arc living off overseas loans, instead ot using [hem for Dcvcloprnciu all bow do:pi before Development. It would appear that a country can have only two of the fol­lowing; rising living standards, heavy eapittal investment (and conseqiieni growth) and bal­anced trade. To some extent these are mutually exclusive. Mr. H'hitlam wants them ail.

A point made very strongly by the Acting Leader was that Australia should force the affiliates of overseas com* panies which are resident in Australia, to export from here, even in competition with the parent organisatitons. Wil l we be able to attract overseas capita! on these terms?

Investment Mr. Whitlam appears to have

a confused attitude towards foreign investment. It's bad, be­cause it implies trade deficits .ind they imply credit restric­tions. Yet it is good for Papua aad New Guinea (in fact "essential for Development" —ail bow down). It's bjd be­cause the control of important industries in the economy is out of the hands of Australians, Again it is good, it must be good, because Mr. Whitlam wants Queensland to have a larger share of what long-term foreign investmcut is available.

For an industrialized country, we export too high a proportion

of unpnKCSsed goods, 'Hius wc lose ttic ch.incc of the profits and employment lo bo gained from prixcssinp poods. For a definite problem. .VIr. Whitlam could offer no definite answer except some vague su^pcsiioii of a Government instrumentality with unspecified funciionb.

The speaker stressed the need for a nationat shipping line to carry our products to existing and potential mar­kets. It has been argued that such an overseas line could be prohibitively costly. Even if such were not the case, the shipping freight payments thus escaped would not solve our Balance of Payments prob­lems. Two factors appear dominant in the post war period; < I ) fluctuations in export receipts, due especially to the fluctuations in wool

The 3rd Annual Collympic Barnes were held on Satur­day, September 8th on No. 2 oval. The afternoon was the usual success with the large crowds as orderly as in the past tv«o years. Gold medals were presented to the winners of each event by TS personality. Miss Jill Edwards.

Highlights of the afternoons activities were: (a) the brilliant win by the

well trained King's cre^N in the Aquatic Eights despite the spillage by St. John's,

lb) the bravifn of 15 Emman-

uelites who displayed their pulling prowess in the tug o' war.

(c) the freshers terrestrial boatrace which would have been won by the Cloudland Champagne Champions from Cromwell if Emmanuel had not cheated.

(d) the various forms of Col­lege Spirit with the com­mentary by Mr. Malcolm McCamish.

(e) injuries in the freshers steeplechase and chariot race, and from indiscrimin­ate throwing of fireworks.

For fhe second succes­sive year, and for fhree of the past four years, University won the l es-erve Grade Premiership.

As minor premiers. Uni­versity played the second semi-final against Zillmerc, who defeated University in a close and hard-fought game by 10 points. Many of the team played below standard,

I due, no doubt, to the pro-I longed lay-off over the Vaca-I tion experienced by most I players.

The next week saw our [playing of Kedron in the Pre-; I'minary Final. Kedron, from the outset, were determined fo use any methods, fair, legal or otherwise, to counter the superior football of Uni­

versity. In a sensational first quarter, University led Ked­ron 53 points to 7, a lead which, though reduced, was held throughout the game. One Kedron player has since received one year's suspen­sion for abusive conduct and brawling.

Having won the right to contest the Grand Final versus Zillmerc, University were keen to reverse the earlier defeat. In blustering conditions, Uni­versity kicked with the wind, and led by 6 goals at the end of the first quarter. With tiic backs defending superbly in the second quarter, Uni­versity still maintained a 3 goal lead at half-time.

With the wind in the third quarter favouring University, Zillmerc rallied somewhat, and

restricted our scoring to 3 I goals, giving Universify a 61 gcal lead at the final change, '

Zillmerc then kicked 2 quick goals, but for the re­mainder of the game failed to penetrate the rock defence of captain, Tony Burge, at centre back. Rapid passing niovemcnts through Pefer Kefterer on one wing to John Giesham and (3ary Crooke in the forwards resulted in many kicks at goal, with no success. Mike Back, following the ball, broke through to score his first major, and effectively scaled Zillmere's fate. Doug. Langdon rucked magnificently, and he and captain, Burge, v/ere chaired from the field. Final Results: University 11.13-79 defeated Zillmere 7.12-54,

Qld. victorious in I'V hockey

I In the recent August vaca-jtion at the Intervarsity men's hockey carnival held at the University of Now South Wales, Sydney, the Univer­sity of Queensland Hockey club's team regained the Syme Cup for the first time since 1958.

This Cup, the symbol of supremacy in Intervarsity, men's hockey has now been held by Qeensland eleven times. Melbourne University is the only other University to have approached such a record (also eleven times winner of the competition).

In the competition just held Queensland played eight mat­ches of which we won seven.

Two members of the tour­ing Queensland side, P. Wi l ­son, T. Robertson, were sel­ected in the Combined Uni­versities side.

Near win in Softball The University Softball Club

had a most successful Inter-Varsity in Melbourne during

!the August Vacation. The team came second in

: the Competition losing 5-2 to Melbourne in a very close, tight match.

Four members; Olga Popov, Carole Cook, Sheila Brewer, and Margaret Davis, were sel­ected in the Combined Uni­versities Team which played the Victorian State Team.

Metropolitan fixtures com-

menco on October 6th and Uni. has two teams cntetod.

Club coach, Mr. Jack McLaughlin has done a lot of hard work raising the all over standard of play.

The Annual General Meet­ing was held at 33 Union St., Toowong on Tuesday ISth September at 7.30 p.m. and was followed by Ihe presen­tation of Whatmore's Trophy to Margaret Davis and a show­ing of coloured slides of Inter-Varsity.
