' whether, in view of the fact that the alcohol content of Australian beer is considerably higher than that of the U.S.A., and considering also the fact that we are constantly increas­ing the export of Australian beer to the U.S.A., can it be said that we are deliberately poisioning our friends and allies?

Festival season

WHAT PRICE CULTURE? We have had to wait a long

while for a permanent live theatre In Brisbane! Now that the wheels are finally rolling we must make sure that the theatre we get is well worth the long wait. No half measures or false economy. To students jnd their audiences who have been forced to accept the idea that the G. P. Hut can serve as a theatre, £350,000 may seem a gigantic sum.

BUT wfl want • building which QHeentUnd can be proud of—not only for uta by the U n i v a r i i t y Dramatic group*, but the ctntr« Hhtt Brbbana'* ilHle theatre groups ara laeking, aad a theatre that

we can offer without any apol­ogy to viiiting Opera and Ballet Companiet.

The most remarkable fea­ture about tho proposed Union Theatre is its adaptability. The stage is designed so that it may be used for "round" and Eliza­bethan style productions, as well as the conventional pros­cenium arch type. The apron stage can be Jowered to give a spacious orchestra pit.

£350,000 it what the Union Theatre Committee wants to build and attabllth thi* theatre.

The Drama Festival begin­ning on Wednesday, May 2, will serve three Immediate pur­

poses. It will prove to the Uni­versity and the public that the various student theatrical groups can arid will co-operate when they have a common and definite aim in view. Second, profits from the Season will open the Fund which will be launched full-scale next year, And probably most important it will provide valuable public­ity for the Union's project.

WHERE DO ALL THE PROFITS GO?

The University of Queens­land Union College, which it It hoped will benefit substan­tially from the sales of this 'Semper', was ettablithed by the University Union in 1947 at a hostel, mainly for ex-servicemen. Within a brief time it became an affiliated college of the University, In spite of difficulties and impediments, Union College has now devel­oped into a permanent part of (he University of Queensland.

The Council of the College, on which Union Council Is strongly represented, has now decided to undertake an ambit­ious building programme to establish a large Union College at St. Lucia on the new site set aside for It, between Upland Road and the "Villags

Green" (oval No. 11. The College Council expects

the State and Federal Govern­ments will provide a substantial proportion of the sum of over £300,000 needed for the building project, but the Col­lege itself will have to raise a very large sum of money, and the College Council confidently hopes that its plan will receive the strong support of Union Council and the members of the Union, of the Senate and staff of the University and of our Graduatets.

RfXIGIOlJS EDUCATION the issue rejoined Ttili artlcl* wat writttn loma tlrnt 1(9 by N. S. Tliomten at th* Dapt. of Exttrnit Studl«i tt tha raquttt ef Sunday Truttt. Thit ntwipaptT, hivinf tnui tolicllad tha article, iubiaquantly dacllnad to print It.

The core of education is the development of iinderttanding. Dogmatic religioui inttruction tett bounds te the tearch for truth and so can have no place in a tound tyttem of education.

This, csacntlally, Is thc position adopted by somo staff members at Queens­land University who arc •worrScd by the proposal to m a k e religious education part of thc syllabus in State secondary schools.

R e l i g i o u s Inttruction and Education

Thotr arffument could l)0 put In thc following way. The teaching Oi<' a" rotlplon {,&a distinct from teaching ABOUT religions) Is not tho same OS thc teaching of such ordinary school subjects oa h i s t o r y and geography. Teachers of these subjcnts arc expected to cncourape their pupils to Interpret and examine Ideas In terms of their own e x p e r i e n c e . Teachers of religion, on the other hand, normally present certain beliefs aa incorrig­ible, aa not open to cor­rection by experience. These teachers lay down certain religious 'truths' and expect children to accept them as beyond question. It Is this which makes d o g m a 11 c religious Instruction so very different from the teaching of history or geography and entitles us to describe it as •dogmatic.

The dogmatic outlook Is epitomized in a letter in a recent Issue of the Courier Mali signed by seven promin­ent Brisbane churchmen. After aftlrmlng that "thc .spirit of Inquiry should be encouraged In the quest of truth" they then reveal their insistence on the Importance of Inquiry to be no more than a device of rhetoric. For a few sentences later wc read: "It is our solemn duty to point youDR iKoplc to Him, who la the ultimate end of their Inqnlry into religious and moral issues. In thl-s, of course, wc can do no moro titan be do i;-nuvUc." Thc results of relig­ious and moral Inquiry, It turns out. are already known with certainty and tt becomes the duty of relig­ious Instructors to point out to their pupils the conclu­sions to which their 'inquiry' is designed to lead.

Teaching of this sort In­hibits the growth of under­

standing. The child who is told that God created the world and, on thc basis of his own experience, asks "Who created God?" usually meets with an evasive reply, one which suggests that this Is an example of a 'deeper' truth that he will come to appreciate when he is older. Teaching which prefers to close certain questions rather than to open them up leaves thc child bewildered and frightened to trust his own experience. When he learns not to trust his own experi­ence In some areas of thought, and that Is some­times a virtue to believe without evidence, his Intell­ectual growth Is often ham­pered by crcdulousncss or cynicism.

Mutt Religious Education Be Dogmatic?

In answer to this argu­ment It is sometimes said that religious education ncctl not be dogmatic. "Thoso who seek tho Inclusion of religious education . . . in the sec­ondary school curriculum are not asking for indoc­trination . . . to study even "dogmatic theology' Is merely to study Christian teaching." This rather more sophisticated view was out­lined recently by a group of academic s u p p o r t e r s of religious education In a letter In the Courier Moil. They propose that the new religious education syllabus for Queensland be modelled on thoso produced In Kng-land since the 1944 Education Act. Kellgloua education classes In England. It is claimed, "are frequently places where eager inquiry flourishes; and examinations are not tests of belief but of factual knowledge."

Tliis Ls a very pleasing plctorc. but what arc thc facts? The truth Is that thc l n lLsii scheme Is not work-In^ well: many teuclicrs and linplls rcgnnl religious cdu-ratlon simply ns a bore or ns a rather tiresome nnd protrncictl Joke. Moreover, religious education In Eng­land Is not nlvtays nn exam­ination subject whereas in Queensland it may well be made one. Kxaminations are already n fetiiih In otir State education system nnd If re­ligion is to be examined it is ttil&X to be taxight as a bo<ly of cut and dried forni-unlac, to be committed to nicniory luul to be exempt from doubt and questioning. Purthemwre, It is probable Hint in Queensland thc clergy wHI insLst on tcaciilng

and examining religious education. If this happens tliere Is even more reason for thinking that thc sub­ject will amount to no more than tiic laying down of a body of "common" Clirist-Inn doctrine. Is Thit a Christian Society?

The proposal to inculcate such a body of doctrine is sometimes supported by arguing that our education system should reflect the fact that wc live in a predomin­antly Christian community. Such an argument la com­pletely worthless. It would Imply, for example, that wc approve of the teaching of .Vtarxlsm-Loninlsm In Rus­sian schools simply because Russia is supposed to be a predominantly Communist society.

Religion and Morality

Another favourite argu­ment of those who favour religious teaching in schools Is that religion makes people good. Religion is seen as playing a vital role in the moral training of children. Juvenile delinquency will be reduced if they are read Bible stories like that of thc Good Samaritan. It is typical of tho dogmatism of those who take this view that they seldom think it necessary to look about for supporting evidence. What little evi­dence is available would seem to i n d i c a t e an altogether difTercnt con­clusion. Studies in the United States and in Sweden of the rates of criminality among church-goers and non church goers tend. If anything, to suggest that crime is some­what more prevalent amongst the former group.

Nothing that has been said In this nrticle is meant to suggest that religion can play no part in education. Relig­ions arc part of our social licrltAgc and school education would be Incomplete with­out somo study of their history and present influ­ences. But thc Important thing is that this study should be objective: it should be teaching ABOUT religions, not thc teaching OF any one religion.

The quettion of whether or not religious education should become part of the curriculum in the secondary schooli of this State it worthy of teriout and prolonged public ditcustion. And it is to be hoped that before a decision is finally taken the issue will be ^ully debated in the State Parlia-ment.

ST. LUCIA WILD LIFE The Arts student is a

bizarre animal. It prefers to wander soul-

fully between tho rabble of the feeding area and the silence of the community den, sporting a fantastic top-not, or conversely a profuse fuzz which It labels proudly —beard! A mysterious third sex has been reported, often disguised for convenience, wc arc told, as one of thc other two. These animals roam abroad at all hours of the day, but they tend to become more prolific between tho hours of 11.30 a.m. and 2.30 p.m. when they congregate habitually on their common feeding ground.

Hunters desirous of secur­ing one of these Interesting beasts would be advised to sot their nets over any con­venient entrance till thc re­quired specimen issues forth. Their harmless disposition and abstract dlstracllon in a substance called "culture" as they meander In and out. makes capture a reltttlvcly easy process. Somo however have been reported venom­ous.

The trapping of thc more retiring Science students Is a more difficult process.

Theso shy animals stay holed up most of the day, emerging furtively occasion­ally at about thc hour of 1 p.m., to swallow a hurried meal before disappearing once more from general view. Since they are to be more often found sheltering In dark corners of labora­tories, a different technique of trapping Is necessary. Several methods have been suggested — one possibility being as follows. A test tube full of some Interesting foul smelling substance Is placed In a favourite haunt attached

a variety of baits must bo used, as preferences vary depending on what subject they have been brought up on. A large insect, a psy­chology female, a sick weed and a bucket of dirt, although It seems a strange collection, is guaranteed to activate the trophic respon­ses of these animals. Be warned—more than one may follow your bait and you yourself may be trapped.

Tlio Vet. student is a very different kettle of llsh. A female of tliis si>eclcs is a rarity and must be handled with utmost caution.

Since, by sheer weight of numbers, the males are more likely to come within your range, special precautions should be taken to give you some chance of retaining the tough independent animal.

to a long string. As thoy can always be depended on to follow their noses, the with­drawal of tho string at a suitable pace, may cntico one of their more curious mem­bers into your carefully set net.

Breeding In captivity la no overwhelming problem as thc female of the species is fairly prolific.

Thc engineers need only be given a casual mention. Size and number play too heavily against you hero and the staple diet of beer Is too expensive to maintain in cap­tivity. For thoso intrepid and persistent hunters who In­sist on trying their tuck, a female of any species In con­sidered very suitable bait, but here again you have the problem of a complicated trapping arrangement on your hands.

TIic Agriculture students are gregarious, happy fel­lows.

Bccauflo of thoir clannish disposition it may be difllcult to entice one member to leave his fellowa for suffici­ently long to snare him. Fortunately for the hunter their regulation atripcd furry legs and largo hairy feet simplify recognition. Also,

A wire net (preferably bar­bed) Is advisable. They can generally be depended on to show some Interest in smaller anlmals,espccially If these are seedy or maimed. When one emerges from the large sunken concrete slab pit where they may be seen moving round for some hours of the day, it should be secured without delay. The physical strength and low ani^nal cunning of this species should never be un­derestimated.

Tlic pursuit of thc Sfcdlcal student inuy prove a disap­pointing pastime in this par­ticular area. Only more juvenile specimens are avaU-able, the more mature variety having migrated several miles into large stone build­ings and insisting on wear­ing a common outer covering of "siKJtlcss" white.

Bait for the juvenile type la particularly difllcult to ob­tain, murder In thla country being a punishable offence, and grave snatching not appealing to most people as far as casual past-times go. So be sensible and leave these young ones grow up a little, when you can then attempt to detain your apccl-man, but in a different loca­tion and with a specialized technique. Stick to the rest to make up yonr menagerie, and—good luckl

recent penguins confused book on advertising Midlion Avanut, U.S.A., by Martin

Mayer A Penguin Special, 345 pages (with Index), 5/6.

One expects to find In a book about advertising agencies a critical examination of the underying values and ethics of the men and organisations in­volved, and some estimate of advertising's social usefulness. Mayer's book provides neither.

It is avowedly a "reporter's book about advertising", and suffers from the reporter's lack of insight, as also from being aimed at a limited audience, vi?,. people connected with advertising;— why else did M.iycr devote so much ipaec to an examination of the advantages and dis ad­vantages of thc various adver­

tising media? Few readers arc interested, I feel, in knowing thc relative costs per thousand people reached, of television, the press, radio and bill boards.

Nor is his discussion of thc oiganization and chief executives <)( some of the larger agencies of general interest, especially since Mayer is so gentle in his de­scriptions of the men concerned. None is called money-hungry or unscrupulous, but in general they are hard working, short living, sincere and insecurtr.

The most interesting and unfortunately confused fact of the book is that devoted to

market research in its various forms. Mayer suggests that estimates of "what percentage of the work that the agencies do along these lines is self-preserving and essentially dis­honest ~~ range from one quarter to three-quarters". Even this statement is hedged around by Mayer.

Uo'xever, the origins oj suck delightful advertising as "I dreamed 1 was Cleopatra in my Maitlenform Bra" and So Round So Firm, So Fully Packed" {Lucky Strikes) are revealed.

Despite Mayer's obvious at­tempt to counter the influence of

"disgruntled adverttJtng copy­writers" who, he says, arc responsible for the industry's unfortunate reputation, advertis­ing men damn themselves out of their own mouths: '"llic elect­orate is uninformed and irrcs|5«n-sibie" says the man who organ­ized deliberately misleading, 20 second question and answer tele­vision advertisements for I''iscn-hower in 1952.

problems in south afriea 111 is book by a former mem­

ber of ihe South African Diplo­matic Corps docs not make pleasant reading. It is however a most enlightening short study of racialism in SoBih Africa. Inicr-estinply enough thc author was brought up in the full South African tr.idition and because of his growing revulsion against thc racialism practised by his government, was prepared to re­sign his job and risk his future in South Africa. He has now fled that country.

The lxx>k is in three parts, the first giving thc author's own life story in brief, thc second with the growth of South Africa as a nation and its government, and

the third with thc rise of liber.il-ism and its possibilities in folving the racial troubles.

The background to all these parts is racial inequality—> discrimination based en colours — a foundation tenet in the creed of the ruling Afrikaans Nationalist Party.

The author is an adherent of the Liberal Party that was formed in 1953, as the only multi-racial political party in South Africa and is at present facing the prospect of being banned simply because of its multi-racial character, 'ITiis parly is well exemplified as "the middle of the road between White nationalism jnd Black national­

ism". It is making efforts to move closer to the African National • Congiess with which Nohcl Peace Prize winner Albert l.uthiili is connected and also with the more extTcme Pan-.\frican Congress. A big stumb­ling block is the degree of anti-whitcism that is prevalent among thc Africans and which is grow­ing.

The dictum of "dominate or be dominated" would appear to be matinating the Africans through the P.A.C. as much as it is a factor in the Boer mental outlook.

Cuilty Lsnd, Patrick van Rensburg. Penguin Special, pp.207, 5/6.

after reading this book one would be disinclined to criticize the Soviet Union for in the latter, colour docs not provide the focus for discrimination.

Van Rensburg feels that "South Africa must have its colour revolution, however long or short it may be, and how­ever the change may come about."

The book should interest alt who are concerned about race relationships in the world today, and particularly those who had thc privilege of hearing Mrs. Margaret Ilailingcr, thc Dyason Memorial Lecturer for 1960 speak on this subject.

Advertising is a place where the selfish interests of the manu­facturer coincides with the inter­ests of society," claims a special­ist in brand "images" who obviously is keen on laissez-faire and the "invislhU hand" of Capitalism.

Marccllo Is one of tlicm. He Is thc central figure, his rcactiono mirror tho wholo drama and also, each scene .shapes his character. From this aspect thoro are two focal points — his relations •with Sylvia and with Stclner. Sylvia (Anita Ekberg) the foreign pin up is quite refractory to Marcellos' ad­vances. He realises from the outset thc Impossibility of this affair. Her whimsy and her love of action for its own sake reached a climax •when she wades Into the mirage-like, ovorornamonted fountain, for no other reason than she wanted to go wad­ing in tho fountain.

\ Reply to Kumar Das^s ideas

AH Monetary Reforms Need Logic Kumar Dai outlined the

basic ideas on monetary re­form of Major Dayle* (an engineer) in Semper of 18th April. It would appear that engineers are not taught basic econnomici and as witnessed by Mafor Daylcs do not learn ir by obscnration and experi­ence.

It is very problematical that "the most glaring of thc short-ccmings of the present day, economic system "is" thc wide gap between production and the power of buying products, i.e. between prices and purchasing power". Major Daylc.? and Kumar Da3 may not be aware of thc vast quantity of litera­ture on the trade cycle of boom, contraction, depression and re­covery or of the Socialist-type criticisms of the slow and erratic

well labelled nymphomaniacs.

In common with most European films, 'IJO. Dolce Vita* has overcome the effects of tho 'star system'. Ono is awaro of the whole and individual performances retreat Into tho tho back­yard.

He waa well cast—a dime a dozon face, good looking though: bathed and well groomed hiding hla Irrcsistablo fascination for thc dcgcnorato and decaying. (Still ono must admire his and Magdolona's solution to the problem of nocturnal accomodation.)

Technically tho fllm was a triumph. We rarely got the opportunity of Beoing such photography — the helicop­

Tlie dubbed English dia­logue was mo.st cITcctlve, nithongh at times I suspect that the edge hod been taken off thc original. Any loss due to the lack of language contrast in the original was made up for by its compre-hcnslblilty and one's ability now, to concentrate on the visuals.

growth rate of capitalism, or of the problem of thc physical dcstructbn of capital. However, limiting the discussion to thc problem posed by Kumar Das, I believe his analysis faulty and his recommendations net only useless but d.infjcrous.

llavitis stated thc problem to be the disparity between, prices and purchasing power. Kumar Das does not explain thc factors which result in a high price level and low purchasing power. In­stead he says tliai thc cause of this disparity lies in our mone­tary system. "Lcs.s than 5 per cent, (of the money available) is in the form of notes and coins, the rest is_ in the form of cheque (sic) which is hank created money". Apparently the hire purchase and other financial instruction.s apart from banks do not figure in Daylcs' analysis.

We are not told what is w r o n g with bank - created money, except fhat "of course when industrtes become indeb­ted to thc banks they limit production and consequently throw people out of work". That many bank overdrafts are advanced to businesses to en­able them to sfart of extend production ii denied by thit statement.

Now within the limits of the problem posed by Kumar Das, It would appear that more credit, or easier cnedit is the answer. The nse of hire purchase debts m Australia was associated toilk a greater demand for goods, especially durable consumer goods n , " *'l'^^on sets, cars etc. DayUs, however, seems to like the feel. of real money, that lovely cnnkly feel of fres'k notes, because hts first proposal is that retad prices be reduced, and Retaders be paid the difference lietwren old and the new prices m new money.

,,^Vhat would be thc result? Householders would find they cculd buy .more, because prices have been lowered. That is, their real mcome" in terms of thc

commodities they can buy will be increased. Well and good, rhe retailers would find that their real incomes have also grown, and assuming their profit

margins remain the same, their businesses would prosper and profits rise. What is thc net result of having everyone wishing to buy more goods.' Unless pro­duction increases to meet the increased demand and to replace depleted stocks, people will want tc buy more goods than arc available, and prices will rise with consequent inflation.

Tlic fallacy in Dayles "sound mathematics" is that he forgets that as far as the purchaser is concerned, a fall in prices will ha\-e the same result as a rise in incomes; viz: people • usually want to buy more. To put it crudely if everyone has a greater income, put the quantity of goods that they can buy does not in-c I case by more than their (pro­portionate) rise in income, is anyone better off.'

If the chief fault in thc present day capitalist system it in fact over production and or under coniumption. Why not atack the problem itself, not deal with \\ indirectly. By not eliminating the causes or under consumption, why nothing in Dayles' recommen­dations to ensure that once the disastrous effects of the new money have worked themselves out, the same situation of high prices (as compared with pur­chasing power) will not again arise. Daylei' remedy is I * create money, which will stim-ulats the economy, and encour­age increased production lince manufacturers would be able to sell more at the tame prices to retailer*.

The end result would be at least as bad as the initial situ­ation.

, The bad suf^estion that "each individual . . . be issued with a national dividend in-addition to earnings; that is to jay a money income based on his or her share of thc countries inherited wealth "(my italics) hardly merits com­ment. However, since children would be included iti this hand­out, it could lead to a large mcrease in the size of the average family which may be a Good Thing for Australia.

Awful Oral Consumption of Terrible Irish Traitor

A drunken Irish traitor who uttered Treasonable Sentiments outside Mrs. Black's Genteel Public House (next to Mrs. Black's private house) at high noon yesterday, was later Orally Consumed (eaten) by an English Gentleman.

Swaying: under t h e stimulant effect of Alco­holic Fumes, he allowed a number of Outrageous Assertions to escape his lips. These included tho following Enormities:

—That Lord Alfred Tenny­son i.s no true poet, but a

j mere lackey ol the Imperialist j Tyrants. , —That England ne\'er will be free and that, further, Ire­land was a nation when Eng­land was a pup. and that Ire­land will be a nation when Eiigtand's gone to Krupp (a Foreigner).

, —That his (tlie Irisiiman's) , father was NOT a convict. ' —That a Prominent Mem-! bcr of the British aristocracy, i although revered throughuul ithe Vast Empire, is the Ille-I gitimate Son of a renegade Dublin garbagcman!

These and similar Egregious Ribaldries were not calculated to appeal to the cars of Mr. N. Carter.

This Gentleman, visibly agitated and shaking under the force of Great Emotion, drew from his waistcoat poc­ket a large Union Jack and, using thc same in the maimer of a length of wliipcord, he

patriotically strangulated the protesting Irishman,

A large crowd of abori­gines soon appeared on the scene, and, after a Brief Interlude during which .Mr. N. Carter sang a chorus of "Rule Britannia!" ate the black Irish traitor's Body with some relish. Thus an iucideut which be­

gan so forebodingly was brought to a Happy Con­clusion, tending furtlicr to ad­vance the Prestige of the Em­pire and cementing the strong Bonds of Friendsliip between slaves (us) and tlieir master (Mighty England).

S/zlpine a faitwie Tho flrst subscription con-

• cert provided a mixture of tho Galllo and the Teutonic vrlth a aprlnkllng ol the ItollAD, but It was none too

; successful. In singing three Italian

arias visiting soprano, Cam­illa Williams revealed a well developed aenao of style. Al­though, at times, her Inton­ation waa a little astray; her performances wero extremely

.artistic and made the moat of hor voice. It la certainly not the best that I have heard, having a certain roodlnesa, in Its lower rcgia-tor particularly, but it is not a voice at all suited to

Verdi's "Rltorna VlncUor" and she would be woll ad­vised to drop this from her repertoire. On the other hand her subsequent arias— Luia from "TurandoV and "Ah fors' c lui "one of Vlo-lottas's from "La Travlata" —were far bettor, particu­larly the latter.

Thc Teutonic element waa Beethoven's Seventh Symph­ony, whicli on the night, ap­peared quite beyond the con-ductor, M. Georges Tziplnc or tho Q.S.O. or both. The orchestra seemed unequal to thc pace demanded by tlie conductor and strove to pro­

duce a volume ot whlct It Is Incapable without consider­able coarseness of tone and sheer vulgarity. The second movement, contrariwise de­termination tlie steady tread of tlic bass being quite lack­ing;. Altogether, this was a most unsatisfactory perform­ance.

In the sum, the Gallic works amounted to little. Of Germalne Tallleferre's "Over­ture". I can only say that It is Incredible that in 1934 the writing of one of "Les Six" should have been, so reactionary. Thc perform­ance was not very well in-

egrated. Ravel's Suite "Le Tombeau de Couperin" Is best In the original version for piano; his orchestration does not really succeed: it can be, and was, rather dull. The playing of tho oboe and cor anglais left much to be desired. Debussy's "Prelude to the afternoon of a Faun" received probably tho best performance of the evening although I prefer the solo flute to be more languid, and the whole orchestra, In fact to have more of the almost indescribable atmosphere of the "Lotos Eaters".

John Carmody

Impact in St. Joan

Mungxvdam, eoccMettt Musica Viva presented the

Hungarian String Quartet, on April 27, In a chamber music concert of a very high order.

Thc highlight of thc even­ing, undoubtedly waa a mag-nillcont performance of the quartet in a minor (op. 132)

•of Beethoven. One of the great works of the com­poser's last years it is a little uneven, but tho group made the lower points of the music almost convincing: far more Important the excellence of tho work was show n to full advantage. The nobility of the flrst movement was undeniable and thc adagio

(with the Lydian chorale) which some regard as too long, running perlously close to failure (I disagree), was completely successful. Simil­arly the finale revealed con­summate mualclanship in unabating magnificence.

During the first work (Beethoven op. 18, No. 6) thc group slowly accustomed itself to the hall; thus the Urst two movements, essen­tially elegant in perform­ance, were spiritless (the writing is largely respon­sible) but the other two movements were thoroughly delightful.

Tticre were some things about the op. 50, No. 2, which dissatisfied me: they did not enliven the over-long, sterile adagio. During tlic evening there were some errors of Intonation nnd ensemble but they were unobtrusive, tn no way detracting from thc over­all excellence of tlie group's work.

Why anyone would want to present only Beethoven quartcti at a concert passes my comprehension. It Is thoroughly undesirable. I was disappointed that the Hungarian quartet did not

see fit to include one of the quartets of their great countryman. Beta Bartok.

John Carmody

Here was a production which left with thc audience the deep conviction that the theatre is a living art form; a fact which scmetimes seems doubtful.

Norman Phiibrick's direction showed a rare combination of imagination and restraint which resulted in an outstanding piece of theatre. Never, at any stage of proceedings was a curuin used; scene changes were effected sim­ply with lights dimmed. Thc set was classicly austere and pre­dominantly black, changing only very slightly through six different scenes. The few changes in props that were made from scene to scene were executed unhurriedly by the players themselves under cover of dimness but not dark­ness.

Thii mide the scene ching-ing leem almosf • part of the play yet in no way detracted ^rom the dramatic impact. It teemed almost to emphaiixe tho relentlettnen of Joan't progression to her death.

One of ihc outstanding things

about the piay iuelf is the extent to which even the most minor charaacrs are alive in their own right and the austerity of thc set teemed to serve to force each actor to extend himself to his fullest in an effort to portray. Ills character. The cast itself was very' well matched and never was there any real consdousnes* that this person or that was acting well or not acting well. The cast was a close knit and uniform unit alive together.

A/any of tki entrances and exits were made jrom the back o{_ the theatre through the centre aisle to the stage. This perhaps fiore than any other thing gave to the audience the tremendous, feeling almost ovenahelming at 'im J, that they were part of this living thing. 'Even Shaw's epi-ioiue which insisted on tying off neatly the hose ends which not everyone wo\dd wish to see so securely tucked in did not lessen for a moment the exciting-^css of this production.

'•DRAMATICVS!'

3!e^a>te& deeA utett

CLAUDE DEBUSSY Centeuaries of births and

'deaths provide excellent opportunities for writing: •on KTca t men also. It they died about the a^e of -50, then there are two orgies quite close together. So, like a partf, all we need is the excuse. This year no jugglins is required—it is the centenary of Debussy's birth. 62 seems every bit as g-ood as an 85, 56, or a 70.

Born when Wagner was in top form, he inevitably fell under the spell. He was a passionate Wag­nerian and like so many

• others, made many pil­grimages to hear "Tristan and Isodle' at Bayreuth. Despite a later rejection hi principle, 'Tristan' was wholly unforgettable.

He was born Into an age •of great scientific change. Just as the new theories of •colour vision caused paint­ers to view problems in a new l i g h t , the infant

•science of acoustics pro­vided a stimulus for musi­cians. Debussy could see new ways of mixing tone • colours and perhaps more important of separating tone densities— akin to a rudimentary spectral ana^ : lysis. Thus we can say that he was the first, in modem times to conceive music Immediately as sound. Fur­ther he realised that the major trends in music were relegathig the sound to a secondary place, In fact subjugathig It to the over­tones of dramatic a n d literary allusion. He saw the conventional chords, progressions and sequences, used with such originality and effectiveness in the past, degenerate into mere cliches employed as labels to direct a change hi mood.

Ocean of sound Above all he could not

bekr the continuous ex­panding ocean of sound that characteriied music

in the second half of the nineteenth Century. It is understandable, although not justifiable that he should see little to be ad­mired in German music after Mozart.

The rhetoric of the late nineteenth and e a r l y twentieth centuries, the rigor mortis of an indlvld-, ual centered art, u sed every conceivable technical r e s o u r c e since Bach-sonata, cyclic form, dla-tonism and chromaticism, all of which gave the music strong 'antres of gravity'. Debussy abandoned these and the forms which they gave rise to. For all prac­tical purposes t o n a l i t y ceased to exist for him, consequent on the use of the whole tone scale. Much has been written p.bout the 'non-fimctlonal harmony'. Although It conveys a cer­tain meaning It Is an in­applicable terra. Histori­cally harmony followed poly phony, therefore har­mony is also Inbued with movement.

No iensiofi But there i i no movement in

a Debussy chard—no teniiofl demanding resolution, rather it is an arrangement of sounds in time. The new means of ex­pression wera enough to ensure the strength of this art.

At the turn of thc cen­tury the art world of Prance revolved a r o u n d various 'schools' of expres­sion. Debussy declared "There Is no school of De­bussy I" How right when one considers the subse­quent question of French composers who were, at the most, contaminated by the mere mechanism of this music. Whereas this for­lorn picture does not apply to Ravel or even Satie, there Is clearly little in their works that owes anything to Debussy.

It is often stated that he

is one of Bartok's musical ancestors. Certainly Bar­tok's chord bulldhig pro­cedures are rather remmls-cent but his restless, bois­terous spirit has little hi common with the less in­flated character of De­bussy. Bartok's is an end-one might even say a'hem —to the creative endeavour of Beethoven. Debussy's Is a beghmlng and, al­though the t e c h n i c a l means are poles apart, this spirit lived again In the even more anonymous Webern.

Pictures Debussy has been labelled

an ImpresslonlsU-a painter of mood pictures. This glib oversimplification tells only part of the story His was an attempt at organising detail, the private passions, into a generalised, more objective system. Music— of itself, the exuberance of sound with no antecedents, an Immediate unfoldhig not a memory. But perhaps this is what Is meant by 'Impressionism',

Little tited be said ef the worki themselves except to point out the signifteance of the piano wotks—their tfylistie purity and economy of meant.

The last works of De­bussy are a profound ret­rogression from his pre­viously advanced and his­toric position. A degenera­tion to 'period' p i e c e s ostensibly in the style of Rameau, as though he had been bitten by the stylistic confusion of neoclasslclsm.

MAX DEACON.

SeU COBUHEM SEMPER

Rudolf Pekarek conducted the Q.S.O. In the Second Youth Concert and restored some quality to the orches­tra's playing, quality ap-[)roaching that of thc coo-cert with Menuhln.

Camilla Williams, Ameri­can soprano was the soloist In. three romantic arias which were presented •with a fairly high degree ot com­petence. Aa I have said be­fore her tone on high notes is often far from pure and her intonation Is sometimes insecure, (as she approaches and leaves notes uncleanly). Nonetheless sho shows spirit (sometimes excessively) and good feeling for style.

Naturally I could mention various Haws In the orches­tral work: occasional sharp­

ness by the oboe, muffed horn notes, some roughnc.% by the basses, but generally these were minor and in no way detracted from the "feeling" of music.

The pcrfomianco of Beet­hoven's Fourth Symphony was delightfully elegant. Thc slow introduction to the ftrst movement was beautifully controlled, violins being ex­cellent; thc melllflnence pre­sented the exquisite beauty of the ndnglo while the finale ran almost ns smoothly as one could wish. Throughout, there was aircfiil attention paid to the subletles of the nraslc.

Zandonai's "Colomblna" overture, a curious mixture of cloying Italian cantabileo and refreshing dissonances,

and quite a minor work was acceptably performed. Al­though a little more might "Thc Sorcerer's Apprentice" the performance was a good one; however "The Fire­bird" (Stravinsky) was disa­ppointing. I felt a reluctance of the conductor to ailow his full forces to assert them­selves (fortunately so, per­haps). The alow sections such as thc Introduction and thc Lullaby were good but the Infernal dance made the Kastchel seem not very malevolent (perhaps tho limit had been reached of what 55 can do).

This was a nicely planned and presented concert which promises well for thc rest of the Youth Season.

the erosion of human relations across the colour line

(By a South African ttudent -forced by that Government'* policy to remain anonymous.)

Thc history ot HVHAS has been Intimately tied to the general history and develop­ment of South Africa as a w h o l e . Thus when the present ruling group within South Africa came to power In 10^8, It was NUSAS which become one of the Icadidi;, albeit smnU, groups which vigorously opposed the vic­ious policy of nportlicld which became thc order of the day in South Africa.

As tho apartheid legisla­tion grew In scope and im­pact. ' Bo the work of the National Onion grew apace in opposing It. One rcmcm-"bers particularly the flght against thc implementation of apartheid In thc \inlver-

. sities which was staved off for eleven invaluable years, largely because of NUSAR' mobilization of student, pub­lic and International pressure against the South African Government.

However, tho pace of gov­ernment action against every right, freedom and funda­mental liberty has increased with dizzying speed. With every major triumph over a democratic principle, the South African Government has seemingly been spurred on to greater agrcaalvoncss. Every major goal (except full-acale press censorship, which will come into force next year) which the Nation­alist Party act for Itself in regard to thc muzzling of thc opposition and thc imple­mentation of its race policies has been achieved. There Is in fact not one single aspect of life in South Africa today which has not fciccn affected by one form or another of racial legislation.

Harassed Furthermore, while the

government has strengthened Itflolf Icglalativcly and mili­tarily. It has at thc same time become more overtly fascist in orientation. 8up-

• pression of dissident ele­ments, particularly In the

• Transkcl region, continues with excessive brutality. The two major African political movcmcnta are banned. Dr. Vcrwocrd has already spoken

• of tho possibility of banning any opposition groups which discredit thc government.

Nor has NVSAS escaped this general political harass­ment. During the State of Emergency declared after the Shnrpcville massacre In IMO, a number of Its leading members, including an hon­orary president, a former president and its legal

adviser, plus a number of students active at Its centres, were actualiy imprisoned for some months.

Earlier this year, the International Vice-President of NUSAS' Joined the list of 35S persons who havo during the past ten years had their passports withdrawn or their applications for passports refused on political grounds-Other leading mcmbcra have been expelled from their universities, particularly at the time when Fort Hare College was taken over by thc eovernmont. Further i n t i m i d a t i o n has been attempted through the systematic bribing of stu­dents to apy on their fellow students and to report on any "suspect" p o l i t i c a l developments.

F'tole. nee South Africa, in one sense

or another, has always been In a revolutionary situation. Today it la more so than ever before. Thc (Irst thing that strikes visitors return­ing to the country is tho fact that more and more people are thinking and talking of violence as a solution to South Africa's problems. That this Is a new devclop-riicnt may sound surprising, particularly when one knows of thc continuous brutality which has been exercised on thc non-white people in South Africa, not only during thc laat few troubled years, but for many, many years. However, it is significant when one realises how deeply attached the major non-white political move­ments arc to thc Qhandian concept of non-violence as a method for achieving polit­ical goals.

There Is the rcUictant realisation that democratic methods of protest, consulta­tion and negotiation will not lend to the type of society which tho mnjority of the people demand.

Conscioui In other words, there Is a

growing consciousness that at some time or another an organized or unorganizQd violent and bloody clash Is Inevitable. This conscioua-ncos derives from a know­ledge of the terrifying erosion of human relation­ships across the colour line, particularly during the last two years. One can safely say, then, that South Africa has during the last year gradually come Into a full-scale revolutionary period. Never has the future looked darker. Never havo thc democratic forces been so organizationally crushed.

This then, was tho atmos­phere In which tho NUSAS Congress met. Yet. despite

the obvious tragedy of the South African situation, it was not a Congress of des­pair, nor was it one confined merely to passing resolu­tions and flghllng "on paper". It was sober, realis­tic, determined and tough. This could be seen particu­larly during the lengthy debates on the government-controlled tribal colleges of Fort Hare, Ngoye, Turfloop and Bclville. For fear of reprisals against the authors, these Were read out to the Assembly by the President of NUSAS or by students who had been expelled from the colleges. All the reports spoke of thc bitterness and resentment of thc students against the authorities.

Tribal aid A comment from a student

representative of the so-called ncllvllie Coll*^ is typical of thc other reports. "Here, more timn anywhere else," he said, "do we sec the stranglehold that the nillng group la seeking to exercise and perpetuate on thc Inhabitants of this country."

Thc record of these in-famou,<! tribal colleges set up In I960 by the South African Government to serve as Indoctrination centres for their racial policies is indeed a grim one. All reports from these institutions spoke of such intimidations as sudden cvputslona for alleged insub­ordination and criticism of thc authorities, interrogation by the authorities on the students' politics, searching of their rooms by members of the Security Police.

Thc most dramatic mom­ent of the Congress was the report given by the struggle for non-racial democracy. Fort Hare had a vitality, strength and courage all Its own; It had a real pride of place, particularly among the African people, before the South African Govern­ment took control.

Since 1000, its campus has hecn a centre of reaction nnd counter-action, iioUcc intimidation nnd turmoil, repression and student re­volt.

Lon^ Report In a hushed voice often

broken with emotion, a stu­dent who had been arbi-trarlly expelled In thc mid­dle of hla studies gave a onc-and-a-half-hour report to the Congress on thc calcu­lated erosion of the fibre of tho College. It was an in­credibly moving scene as the delegation from Fort Hare University College. Fort Hare, although stifled in thc post by racial law and cus­tom, nevertheless had the proud record of being the home of many of South Afri­ca's most famous non-whltc freedom fighters. Hero Pro­fessor Z. K. Matthews, Hon-orary Vice-President of NUSAS, was a leading aca­demician and political figure. Horo too formed the leaders who today lead South Africa In the audience, dead quiet except for tho audlblo weep­ing of some of the delegates, hiurd the terrifying account of suppression and destruc­tion.

Despite tho increased prcs-\ sure of the government on

oil forces opposed to Its , policy, the National Union

membership continues to expand. There wore two welcome new aflUllatlons of caniTOB ot higher learning accepted by this year's Assembly: one section of the University of Natal which had left the National Union eight years ago, and thc other the Johannesburg T r a i n i n g Institution for Indian Teachers.

More than 400 resolutions on topics ranging from library segregation — which was roundly condemned—to freedom of the university press — which was sup-IKirted -^ were passed at thc 22 sittings of the Stu­dent Assembly.

NUSAS bases Its policy on thc United Nations Declara­tion of Human Rights and is totally opposed to apartheid. One of the aspects of apar­theid it considers most Iniquitous is tho government-Imposed Bantu education system. The Student Assem­bly, in condemning the sys­tem, reiterated Its faith in a system of free and compul­sory education for all chil­dren, irrespective of race, creed or colour; and NUSAS pledged itself to work for thc total abolition of thc pre­sent system.

The ilth Annual Congress of the National Union of South African Students {NUSAS), which was held last year in Durban, tvas per­haps the most important Assembly the National Union has ever had in its long and difficult history.

Some JOO students attended the Congress, and among these vaere the (A official represen­tatives of thc 19,000 members of the Natiottal Union. Faced ivith the dangerous period through which South Africa is passing, it was understandable ihiit the delegalts spent eleven full days at tvork considering in full the raci­ally torn society in which they live.

Resolution Another resolution regis­

tered total rejection of thc tribal college system. TIic NUSAS condclmnntlon of these govcrtuncnt Indoctrin­ation centres was linked to the need to light aimrtheld the day in South Africa.

Despite the natural con­cern of the Congress with national affairs, questions concerning International stu­dent co-operation were givin lengthy and detailed atten­tion. The Congress waa deeply aware of the potent consequences of interna­tional student solidarity, par­ticularly because NUSAS has been extremely fortunate in receiving, year In and year out, both material and moral support from other National Unions of Students. This support, as many of thc delegates affirmed, has had a definite effect in restrain­ing government actions and is u tremendous encourage­ment to NUSAS itself. Thus the Congress showed par­ticular concern for tho situa­tion in those countries where students fighting against colonialism, totalitarianism and imperialism face sim­ilar problems to those facing the members of NUSAS. Resolutions were passed promising full solidarity with

tho students of Algeria, An­gola, Congo, Cameroons, Paraguay, Haiti, East Ger­many, Hungary, Cuba and France.

World unity Tlicre was also consider­

able debate on thc aucstion of world student unity. The Congress notcil tl>c desire of students throughout the worid for unity and strongly Hupi>orted thc Idea of a Hound Tabic on Worid Stu­dent I.'nity, organised on a neutral basis, as a useful step in arriving at such unity.

The most important reso­lution of the Congress — which after long and ear­nest debate was adopted unanimously — showed the students' deep concern for tho future of South Africa. Thc Congress was not pre­pared merely to condemn in motion after motion the In-iqultlcs of the apartheid system, it realized that It had a duty also to present a way out ot the morass of i-aclalism and to show a direction for the future which could mean peace and democracy for a bitterly divided and hsto-oncrustcd fioclety. To this end, thc Congress Issued a nation­wide call for the Immediate summoning of a national convention, truly represen­tative of all South Africans, which Would lay thc bases for the establishment of democratic government.

Local work Two other international

IKSUCS aroused much discus­sion. One concerned the e n o r m o u s contributions

which National Unions of Students throughout the world have made to thc scholarship schemes run by NUSAS to enable students to receive a democratic uni­versity education, something from which they would otherwise have been barred by racial legislation. The resolutions of thanks to various student organizations for help were both profuse and sincere.

After eleven exhausting days, thc Congress ended, but thc delegates could look forward to little rest. For each, on his return to his or her particular university or college, faced tho tremen­dous task of continuing the work and Implementing the policies of the National Union at thc local level.

SPORT A SPORTING? EPIC

By the Epic Poet of the Bushwalkers. Studenhi of Engtiih Litera­

ture think of the epic at some-thing of tho pair which ceased lo exiti when the resounding clangor of bronze and steel and and the wrathful roar of Wren-gan faded from thc tea kings' halls, and the people changed from Old to Middle English. A

'bastard epic, the literary epic, they know existed many years later but erupted only once, into Milhjn'j "Paradiie Lost", and even that is out of memory of the oldest of us.

But they are unaware that tlic epic is once more with us,

:not just on paper or parch­ment but in reality—in flesh, blood, and suffering jn the

•Queensland mountains. Thie epic made its rebirth in

1958 on a Logan's Ridge trip on Mount Barney. On this oc-

• casion five fairly experienced people climbed the east cliffs of Mount Barney in the dark, because they did not know. This is a climb which has been unsuccessfuly attempted by many experienced climbers be­fore and since. The single

: successful climb gave us the modern epic, for the trip to the top of East Peak took twenty-five hours instead of three, and most of these hours were spent grasping round cliffs with enor-

. mous drops below, hanging

from grass frees, and being dragged up rock faces on the end of a rope.

This introduced a great spate of epics — the 1958 Glucose Ridge Trip, the 1959 Lindsay trip, and so on. An,d, as always happens with something new, the epic soon found a theorist who, veteran of many early epics, tried to define it, to dis­cover its essential ingredients. Rain, darkness, cold, inordinate length of duration, and of course, misery, were all sug­gested but failed to satisfy.

Then, finally, he hit on the one ingredient common to all known epics, Gcaham Hardy, and this was at once acclaimed as tfie truth.

The latest trip, from Mt. Cordeaux to Mt. Castle, was an epic of a different kind, and something new, occurred on a club trip. For the first time its epic quality was caused not by mist, rain, or getting lost, but by a stomach ulcer which necessitated that its owner be carried on a stretcher.

We had been walking slowly on Saturday, and on Sunday some of us, tired of the snails pace, went on ahead. We stopped at a lookout on the edge of the Main Range cliffs and were sitting there drinking in the beauties of nature and

eating our lunch when hoarse cries of "stretcher" came float­ing through the sylvan stillness. We finished our lunch, and then most of the party decided that they had betfer go back and help. They had gone about half a mile when they were startled by a crashing of bushes, and a half-naked man, his face, arms and chest rent and torn by the inclemencies of nature, came plunging through the wild raspberries and sting­ing nettles.

He skidded on the forest mould to an ungainly stop and, gasping for breath, pointed be­hind him and cried, "Stretcher, stretcher!" !

They managed to calm himj donated his shirt for the stret- i cher. All continued to retrace and learned that he had their steps until they reached Ihe stretcher-party, and then! the drudgery began. F o r i eighteen iiours it lasted, all I through the night. I do not; know what those hours were like, for not being noble, and no longer in love with epics, I had not returned to the stretcher, but my brother tells me that thc sunrise was beauti-fu. Carrying a stretcher has some of the effects of yoga. It refines the senses. L. H.

I go out ivith a Teenage Idol... I had such an excitipg .time

last week.! One of the First Years asked me to go out with him. Of course, he Is four or five years younger than I am, has long black hair, tight black trousers, and a stoop and per­manently bent knees from play­ing the guitar, but, after all, I'm hardly Venus myself, am I? Actually, though, I hardly knew him, although 1 had noticed him in the Refectory. There aren't really all that many Freshers who star\d on the table, play the guitar, and sing. Of course, he probably ftrst noticed me at the same time, because most of the other people in the Refectory left rather hurriedly. Unfortu­nately, someone had left some chewing gum on the seat on which I was sitting, so I was forced to go on drinking what they call coffee. Ronny —his

name is Ronny Tonsill—such a manly name, I always think— didn't seem to care about rwt having much of an audience. He just went on singing, and then came over and said a few words to me. What he actually said was:—

"Ifi , bibyl Dig the crasy mootic?"

"Oh, .thank you, I enjoyed it so much. I really love classic cal music."

"Do you, babe? Well, how 'bout coming to lh« Festival Hall with me on Saturday, and wowing those cah there?"

"Oh, thank you, I'd simply love to."

"Good, then. I'll be teein' you." • He started to walk away, then turned, and said from about a hundred yards range:

"By the way, baby, my name is Ronny Toniill. You've prob­

ably heard of ms on televttiofl amt in the magashiei. Wha* d' they call you, babe?

"Nausea, Ronny, Nausea Bagwash. Such a silly name, isn't it?"

"Yeah, it it, isn't it? I'll be iceln' yar."

And, humming a couple of bars of a popular song artd executing a few intricate dance steps, he was gone.

1 was so excited. When 1 went home and told my mother, she was excited, too, although she was a little bit worried about my going out with a boy she (didn't know. The only boy I had been out with before was the son of a friend of Mother's from down the road, Wc went to the pictures, but he didn't really enjoy it. He is very sickly, poor boy, and, as it was December (December weather in Brisbane can be very

tricky), he had so many scarves and overcoats on that he found it a little difficult to see the film. I offersid to kiss him goodnight, but he was afraid he might catch my cold.

For this new occasion. Mother and I decided 1 needed a new frock. We went into thc Valley to a little shop in one of the back sreets there, where I always get my clothes, and so do Mother and Grandma. After a bit of trouble, I finally chose the most beautiful light blue orgarvlie frock. It had all frills at the top, and a very full skirt with a frill at the bottom, and little puffed sleeves. It was really lovely. When I came to dress, in this, and new light brown lisle stockings, and my best black lace-up shoes, and the new hand-knitted Fair-Isle gloves that Grandma made me. Mother lent me her best hat, I really felt like a Queen, wide brim and pale green rib-too, one of those with the very bons hanging down behind. It looked lovely.

Actually, Ronny looked a little surptised when he taw me, but he didn't tay any-fhing. I must say, though, the other girls there were most un­suitably dressed. I do not con­sider tight slacks and sloppy pullovers suitable dress for the theatre, and Mother a n d Grandma agree with me: I can't tay i really enioyed the con­cert very much. As a matter of much of it, because all the fact, I didn't really hear very people round me were standing up and jumping up and down, and calling out encouragement to the performers, who seemed to be friends of theirs.

Still, it Is not everyone who can say that she has been out with a teen-age idol. He hasn't asked me out again, though. Actually, I haven't seen him since half-time at the Festival Hall Concert. Perhaps when I see him again, he will ask me out again. I do hope so.

Nausea fiagwash.
