It might, perhaps, be termed the possession of facilities for intellectual enjoyment, and personal well-being and cleanliness. There is not much difference in the standards of living of the northern European countries and North America. In Nor-way, we have not so many motor

There is only one. that of Oslo, which was established in 1811 —comparatively recently for a Euro-pean university. Matriculation is gained at about eighteen years of age.

"Once you reach the University, the whole of the instruction is free. There is only a small fee to lie paid on passing each examination. There are faculties for geology, law, history, etc.. and there is a very high percen-tage of students; a total of about 2,000. The people of Norway are naturally inclined towards study, and a degree is a valuable qualification in af ter-life. even in business, for which there is a course in Social Economy.

"There are certain other colleges with the status of universities, since matriculation is required there also, and the teachers have the highly-valued title of "professor." At Trond, there is a school of mechanical sciences and architecture, where there were 1.700 students in 1919.

"There is also a college in Bergen, for the study of oceanography, em-bryology, biology, etc. This is of great importance in Norway, because so much of our livelihood depends on the sea and its fish, and agriculture, for which weather forecast is of the greatest assistance. I t has been found that there are certain laws governing the movements of the fish. At one time they simply appeared a t certain times of the year, and the fishermen went out and caught as many as possible, but sometimes the fishermen and those who salted the fish would gather with their boats a t one part of the coast, and the fish woud appear at another. Now it is known that these things are depend-ent on the ocean currents, and certain other factors, so that it is becoming increasingly possible to predict the appearance of the fish, it has also been discovered that a difference of one degree in the Gulf Stream, west of Scotland, will materially affect the whole season in Norway. The man who has done the greatest amount of work in oceanography is Professor Nansen, who is better known for his polar explorations.

On the other side, the city is surounded by hills, just as if, here, the Blue Mountains, snow-capped like Kosciusko, rose where Grace Bros, is now, and could be reached for sixpence. All these m< tains are open to the public, and every student belongs to a ski-club, where he can spend week-ends. These ski-clubs are one of the characteristic features of University life.

"The Students' Association ganises debates every Saturday night, and there, practically every ques-tion of importance in Norway is dis-cussed. Men who have participated in these debates as President of the Students' Association, are to be found in every important par t of the na-tional life. The discussions are in-strumental in forming the public opinion of the country near-by, so tha t the Students' Association becomes a school of Parliamentary training."

WHAT IS IT?

Nothing has yet been suggested which seems to offer a solution of the mystery. All work af ter sunset is a t a standstill. It is the opinion of the Professorial Board that unless something happens soon, something will have to be done about it.

Interviewed by "Honi Soit," Pro-! fessor Mills expressed the greatest . alarm. " I don't know what it is," he ' told our reporter, "but all the guinea

inoculated with Cholera Bacillus have been the first to succumb. I do not think, however, that the inoculation has anything to do with their death,

i which I attribute solely to fr ight . ! Our great fear is that it may spread to the Janitors, and we should then be forced to replace them, which would be both expensive and difficult. If this goes on much longer, we shall have to close down the Medical School."

Our reporter also interviewed Dr. J . J . C. Bradfield. who has been asked by the Senate to investigate the mat-ter. The Doctor stated tha t he did not know what the occurrences in-dicated. but that he did design the North Shire Bridge.

But their sensi-tive intellects would no doubt be jarred by the method of approach. And a songbook cannot be written on an indignant mind, any more than upon an empty stomach.

But it is, nevertheless, an impor-tant thing. A good gestbook is, like a beautiful woman who is discreet, is as much a gem as it is a rarity. I t is not basically difficult to commem.. but with a parcel of exhilarating songs, and a collection of skits that stimulate, the path to Avernus is

It is obviously out of the question to collect a bagful of songs prophetic-ally written for 1931, and not all prose contributions are good for all time. But a great deal can be done. Anyone who has smiled widely over the fifty pages odd of such overseas books as, for example, the Manchester "Rag Rag." and marvelled at their versatility and velocity, must have been forced to the conclusion that the inspired librettists could not have done less than spend the entire year devising and perfecting their thrusts and burlesques, leaving an elastic margin for topical touches on the eve of celebration.

What is needed is, simply, a Song-book factory. Gifted students are asked to give their intellects a con-sciousness of such a factory, and when some eternal truth strikes them amidships, not to forget it the next minute, but to consign it to paper, and send it along to the factory execu-

ancipation from whom, howeevr, is well nigh a lost hope. Are we, there-fore, going to permit a new critic, with powers greater even than those with which our ancestors voluntarily (if unconsciously) endowed the John-sons, Jeffreys, Times Literary Sup-plements and such literary bludgers, to dictate not only our criteria of taste but also to control our know-ledge of facta as well? Can any democratic government justify its exclusion or garbling of material (whether literary or not) which merely challenges its status or intro-duces propaganda distasteful to it-self. Should the democracy not rather remember J . S. Mill, its pat-ron saint and rely for support and protection on the new intellectual strength that would be acquired by a people vested with responsibility for its own thoughts? If it cannot do so on the other hand, or if it feara to defend its position at the bar of reason, does it not deserve to fall or be modified? And are we going to allow it to keep for the defence of its own vested interest a weapon which by means of timely resolution could be snatched from its hand?

had left entirely out of account its bad effects on the imaginative acti-vities of the nation. His statement, .owever, was challeneged by the In-dependent member (Mr. Storey), who lauded scepticism and maintained that a cynic was a kind of sceptic.

The member for Gill followed. Feeling himself the very devil of a fellow, he announced, "I am an out-an-out cynic," then, folding his arms, he calmly awaited the House's cen-sure, with a kind of elongated-Nap-oleon effect.

More excitement was provided by a scathing attack on the late Mr. Theodore by the hon. member for Nolan. The gentleman referred to, in Mr. Nolan's opinion, represented the acme of cynicism. This was de-nied, however, by the member for Fitzpatrick, who in a sound maiden speech held that cynicism was essen-tial to the continuance of society.

The Under-Secretary then spoke briefly and involvedly; and was fol-™ e d by Mr. Grace, who exposed Mr. Nolan, who had exposed Mr. Theo-dore, who had exposed himself to criticism.

Mr. McGechan, who had been for some time counterfeiting the actions of a gas-filled balloon on a string whose other end is controlled bv a very small boy, now at last succeeded in catching the Speaker's eye, and, having expressed his willingness to bow to the hon. member for Sim-bust, sat down again.

The vote was taken at 10 p.m., and. the members of the Opposition cynically voting with the Government, was carried without a dissentient voice.

I t follows that the value of the Union House depends upon its exclu-siveness. One is therefore disap-pointed to observe the habit into which it has fallen during the last eighteen months, of holding occa-sional public debates, to which the public a re invited, and at which they may even speak. I t strikes a griev-ous blow at the tradition of the Union House, and therefore a t i ts value. No doubt the University owes a duty to the public. It is m duty to instruct. But it is difficult to see what instruction the public can re-ceive from listening to a debate in which two variously prominent men and some dozen obscure young under-

Dear Sir,—I was very upset to notice that my letter to you a fort-night ago has been taken up in al-together a wrong way by a few silly men. I regard their invitations to meet me a t various low places as highly insulting, and it just shows you how impossible the men in this University are. And I wouldn't dream of going out with such fools, anyway.

I still think there ought to be some society or something where men and women could meet each other. Mr. Gosper tells me that all American in-stitutions have places like this, and they are a go-ahead race. Even if men and women students didn't even-tually mate, quite a lot of good work could be done, don't you think?

ZEUSTJPSET U N I V E R S I T Y S O C I E T Y

I M P L I C A T E D

A complaint has been received from Zeus, through his University repre-sentative, "Hermes," that the Olym-pian grandeur of the Chemistry Building has been desecrated in a manner which is most distasteful to His omnipotence. I t will be remem-bered that when the Chemistry Build-ing was brought to the University, and placed in the nobler, rarer at-mosphere of Science Street, Professor Todd, who has had a very sound clas-sical training, remarked that the frontal expanse of the new addition would make a perfect Greek Theatre. This suggestion lingered happily in the minds of members of the Classi-cal Association, and no doubt one day would have matured, had not the regrettable incident to which we re-fer forever stained the classic purity of the proscenium, and banished the favour of Zeus, who has no love for Bohemianism and other post-classical distortions.

It appears that one afternoon last week the attention of passers-by was directed to the proscenium, upon which a group of bizarre individuals were erecting strange hoardings.

Some were clad in smocks, which concealed rather than revealed the figure, and thi» ungrecian habit aroused immediate suspicions amongst the onlookers, that something sinister was on foot. The appear-ance of large wooden boards, upon which some ultra-modern hand had smeared ascetic twelfth-century tor-soes, confirmed the anxiety now de-finitely fixed, and more than one on-looker was observed, like Aeneas, to weep, aa the sacrilege was topped with the swishing of paint.

It is felt that Zeus will probably resent this practically, and we would not be surprised if, during the per-formances of S.U.D.S.' production in August, thunderbolts should be hurled upon the stage.

Consulted late last night. Profes-sor Todd stated that this outcome was by no means unlikely, as Greek litera-ture shows this to have been a fav-ourite method of Zeus when irritated.

Speculation is rife among Johns-men as to the cause of John Aber-crombie's facial injuries. He came off the field af ter last Wednesday's football match with Andrews with a suspicious looking depressio* in his left cheek. Some are quite convinced that he turned around and bit him-self in remorse, others more sceptical, that he encountered a carniverous breakaway. Possibly he fell on the corner of the football .but Quien Sabe?

The game was most enjoyable from a player's viewpoint, and, if we were defeated, we were a t least able to realise that the victors were a very fine combination—we extend to them our hearty congratulations. We are looking forward to the remaining games.

One remarked Benning on the line on Wednesday, hopeful tha t someone would bear the John's eagle through those Andrewsian stalwarts. Re bemoaned his inability to play, but did the next best thing by offering the first Johnsman to score an open order a t Mine Hosts. Unhappily for Mine Host the first man to score was Paul Sheenan.

We have noticed a revival in Johns of that much discussed and possibly entertaining game—bridge. Whether men are taking it up with a con-scious desire to use it for fu ture re-ference, when, af ter graduation, they are battling with the world (or part of it) in a country town, we do not know, but it has ousted from the common-room all other games of that ilk.

Theer is much that is original in college humour. "Will you have plum pudding. Mr. B " he was asked a t dinner the other night.

The Federal Budget has been the subject of quite a lot of criticism, and F.W. is anxiously inquiring if the latest tariff schedule affects im-ports from Scotland.

One of More's main ideas was that many social evils were the result of the struggle for foreign markets. Ac-cordingly, Utopia was to be self-sup-porting and self-sufficient. Nowhere was there any limit of democratic control of industry.

The French Revolution and the Industrial Revolution may be said to have combined to produce socialism. One destroyed privilege by birth, and the other set up privilege by wealth. In the van of the Socialist movement were a group of Social ex peri mentors, labelled the Utop-ians, who thought the necessary re-forms were to be effected by con-scious, voluntary effort. Altogether they established not less than two hundred communistic groups in North America. These groups may be divi-ded into those of which the primary interest was religion, to which Com-munism was incidental, and those which were primarily Communistic. These settlements failed universally, but the religious tended to last longer "•an the Communistic.

Many false inferences had been drawn from these failures. There had been a tendency to regard them as cautionary tales for Communists. —complete proofs of the impractic-ability of Communism. Yet the later Marxian theory led to the belief that the system under which they failed to prosper was that which must ulti-mately succeed the present one. His-tory showed that human nature can undergo the required change, but it also showed that the change must be gradual. The work of the Utopians nad its inspirational value; it was a t any rate a protest against satisfied acquiescence in existing evils. But unless inspiration was supported by hard work and keen reasoning, it must always be a misdirected force. Many students at this University had their idealistic enthusiasm fo r social regeneration; if they could compre-hend the Marxian dogma without re-lapsing into fatalism and could en-quire and investigate without know-ledge making them disillusioned and cynical they might perform valuable work for their time.

"HANDS OFF INDIA On Friday, July 4, a t 3 p.m.,

there was held under the leadership of Mr. E. R. Walker, the first i t • Mriaa of study circles on the ques-tion of "Hands Off India." I t was decided to begin the study with a brief historical survey of British re-lations with India, giving special at-tention to the Montague-Ch' lmsford Reforms (1920), and the work of the Simon Commission. The racial and religious obstacles to self-government will then be discussed, and will be followed by a review of the national-ist movement in India, the work of Mr. Ghandi, and the attitude of the Communists towards the present situation.

In this connection, Mr. Higgins will give an address on "Hands Off India," a t 1,25 p.m. on Wednesday, July 23, in the Philosophy Room. All those interested are invited to attend both this address and the sub-sequent meetings of the study-circle, which will be held a t 3 p.m. every Friday in Mr. Walker's room.

On Wednesday, July 16, science stu-dents abandoned chem. coats and locked lockers, and turned out in all splendour to attend their Faculty Ball, which took place in the Refec-tory. Sparkler and balloon dances were novel and exciting features of the evening, and the Bunsen Burners —so as to give the final touch to the gaiety of the occasion, were gold. Dr. Trikojus received the guests, as-sisted by Miss Bertha Trikojus wear-ing chartreuse green union. The offi-cial party also included Professor and Mrs. Osborne. The latter wore black georgette and was presented with a posy of red roses and sweet peas.

After the interval, St. Paul's were a different tenm, their forwards showed better form and se-cured more of the ball for the backs.

Bob Smith, who played on the wing in the latter period had plenty of opportunities to show his speed.

SURPRISES

'Varsity maintained the previous week's stand-ard, but they improved on it to de-feat Western Suburbs in a most in-teresting evenly fought game on Sat-urday. The fluctuations in the scores kept the partisans of each side on the tiptoe of excitement.

Although the margin was only five points, 22-17, the worth of 'Varsity's effort is best appreciated when one considers that Wests scored only one try, the balance of their points being due to the phenomenal kicking of Stewart from penalties.

I t would be difficult to single out any one of 'Varsity backs for special praise as each did his share all the time. Bill Hemmingway ran in more; determined fashion than usual and showed up well. Geoff. Dangar was u rock in defence and good in attack. while his kicking was the best seen in ! a 'Varsity team for some time.

Basket Ball

Last Saturday, the 'Varsity Basket Ball Team played M.L.C. Old Girls, and won 38-11. In spite of the weak scoring of the M.L.C.O.G., the game was keen, and a fairly strong wind made goal-throwing difficult.

Although the 'Varsity has lost B. Pirie, who played centre, the team combined well with P. Mclntyre in that position.

and Katoomba, which is scheduled to take place on the first week-end in August. This trip has been the cause of much enthusiasm and rivalry on the part of those who consider them-selves as having possible chances of selection, and we guarantee next weeks games to provide plenty of excitement. Arts, Pharmacy, and Law are certainties as semi-finalists, the fourth team being the winners of the Economics-Engineering match

The forwards played well against a heavier pack, but again the free kicks against the front row men were much in evidence.

Morton, Love, and Elias did great work in the close play as usual, and Dezarnaulds was well to the fore. Carson, playing his initial game in the firsts, did extremely well in the rucks and in the loose. It is going to be hard to leave him out again.

F a u l t y R o c h n t -

One weakness the forwards showed was in heeling the ball from the rucks. Though they held Wests in the rucks, and stopped them from breaking through, 'Varsity did not seem able to get the ball back quickly and cleanly.

The combination in the backs was good, and if they had had more of the oall, 'Varsity's score would have been much bigger.

It was a good satisfactory display and 'Varsity thoroughly deserved the win. The team is now level for sec-ond place in the premiership table.

RESERVE GRADE

Arts

Western Suburbs supporters ha<l many anxious moments during the first half at Pratten Park on Satur day, and a t half-time only one point separated the two teams.

In the next half they forged ahead to win by 34 to 17, but it was "Var-sity's ill-luck that two palpably wrong decisions on the par t of the referee gave Wests two tries which were converted, thus adding ten points. This, coupled with a lack of sting in 'Varsity's tackling in the second half probably robbed them of victory, as they met a side affected by injuries. The game was of an ex-citing nature, the tries mostly being the results of concerted movements, although easily the most spectacular was an individual effort by McMen-amin. who bumped off several defend-ers, including McMillan, before going over.

It would not sur-prise, however, if Vic. Hyde. Jock: I.ee. J . Spence and Murray Edwards , entered the semi-final round.

By defeating Bert. Sundstrom and * fed. Prince in the Open Doubles, Alan Smith and Ranald Emanuel have reached the final. This match was one of fluctuating fortunes. The latter pair ran off with the first set, 6-2, but the score was reversed in the second set. The third set was a terrific struggle, first one pair and then the other gaining the lead. Prince and Sundstrom had a fine chance when they led 7-6, with the latter to serve, but Smith and Eman-uel recovered well and eventually ran out winners, 11-9, in the third set.

In the backs McNeill showed that he is adapting himself readily to first grade play. His anticipation and backing up were features, his two tries coming as a result of being "on the spot." "Nip" Ward played his usual good game at half, on his first reappearance since a broken hand put

| him out of action, while Buckley at full back proved that his displav against Easts was not a flash. Given plenty to do, he made few mistakes.

Sam Ogg's devastating tackle was not in evidence as much as usual; in

man fact the tackling of most of the team left a lot to be desired, and often Wests' backs were given plenty of room to move. When the ball is lost, it is necessary to stand up to the opposing threequarter line, and Varsity backs should make this a
