’HIST.’ THROUGH-’PhiI.’ Try To-NigmFarmers at CarlowThe Agricultural Society has just

benefited from a most informative tourof the Carlow sugar beet factory, wherethe whole process was seen in action,right from entry of the beet on vehiclesinto the factory to the emergence of thesacks of sugar. The members also sawthe entomology research departmentwhich is but one cog of the vast indus-trial machine that the Irish SugarCompany is operating in this country.

A lively programme lies ahead, withthe inaugural address to be read by Mr.P. Read next term, followed by papersdealing with "Ensilage" by Mr.Leonard, " The Problem of Food Qualityand the Farmer To-day " by A. Cobham.It is hoped to get the great promoter oforganic farming methods, Lady EveBalfour to speak at this meeting. Apaper on forestry will be read by Mr.L. Roche, to which Mr. Childers,Minister for Lands and Forestry, isexpected to speak. In addition, manyeducational trips are being arranged toplaces of interest to the members.

Evidence of Trinity’s activity in theagricultural field may be seen at the JohnKells Ingram farm in Co. Louth, wheregreat progress is being made. Land i~being reclaimed, old drains c]eaned andnew ones dug. This work is at presentbeing supervised by Mr. Nick Bielenberg--a Trinity graduate and ex-member ofthe Society. Next term it is hopedthat Senior Freshmen agriculturalstudents will spend a day each week onthis magnificent farm, which also pro-vides practical training for forestrystudents.

"Observer" TournamentTHE preliminary rounds of the inter-varsity debating tournament

sponsored by the "Observer" are at the moment the main topicof conversation among debating enthusiasts both in Trinity and in otheruniversities. The Irish section of the competition entails two preliminaryrounds and a local final; already two teams, those representing theHist. and the Literary and Historical Society, U.C.D., have, by theirperformance at a preliminary round held at U.C.D. on Saturday, wontheir way to the Irish final.

The motion on Saturday was " Thatsmall men cast long shadows when thesun is sinking." The standard of debatewas reasonably high, although somespeakers disappointingly preferred todeliver set orations with varying degreesof competence rather than to debatethe motion.

The Hist. representatives, G. B.Holland and M. T. Knight, were fluent~nd logical, and few could disagree withthe opinion that Knig.ht’s was the bestspeech of the evenmg. The repre-sentatives of U.C.D. were a triflefortunate, we felt, to be placed beforethe Hist. in the final reckoning; eventheir own supporters appeared to dis-agree with the judges’ decision.

To-night in the G.M.B., the Phil.,represented by K. R. Johnson and J. T.Killen, will attempt to emulate the Hist.’sefforts. They will be speaking on themotion "That sweet are the uses ofadversity," and will have as theiropponents teams from U.C.D., U.C.G.,College of Surgeons and Bolton StreetTechnical I,nstitute.

Moderatmn AcceptedThe Hist. debated " That Moderation

is for the second-rate" on November27th, and the discu~ion illustrated per-fectly the pitfalls awaiting those em-barking upon such a subject. Fewspeakers thought clearly about themotion, and its chief merit was in pro-viding a convenient basis for eachspeaker’s exposition on his favourite" lost cause " or " b~te noire." Thus, Mr.J Clarke talked about American Presi-dents, Mr. J. Hunter brought in theUnionists and an illegal organisation,Mr. Knight on ce again mentionedU.N.E.S.C.O., and Count Tolstoy -- noprizes for guessing.

Mr. J. Clark, in proposing the motion,sensibly left aside theoretical argumentsand took examples to prove his case fromhistory and literature. Mr. J. Hunter,opposing, made a good logical speech.establishing the moderates as a "thirdforce" in world affairs and on thisthesis ranging over such fields as H-bomb production and a favourite Hist.topic, " The Hollow Men."

Count Tolstoy provided himself as theepitome of extremism and, therefore, agood thing. Mr. Edwards was as in-consequential as ever, and gave aquotation which most people had heardsomewhere before. Mr. M. Knight gavea brilliant performance in that humorousstyle in which he is becoming in£mitable.Mr. Telfer made a successful maidenspeech, as did Mr. Bernstein, who in-sisted that the private lives of virtuosiare not excused by their " genius." Mr.Mason and Mr. l~awhi~ey contributedmaiden speeches in promising fashion.Mr. Hinchcliffe revealed an ambition tobe British amateur golf champion, andMr. V. Young naturally resorted tobridge as his only medium of communi-cation. Mr. Dickson finished the debat-in~ with yet a.nother good " maiden."

Mr. Dockrell, T.D., summed up adebate in which the Society approvedof moderation by rejecting the motion.

GRE ¥- BRICK

IDEALLY, a university is asociety devoted to the

furtherance of learning and thesearch after knowledge for itsintrinsic value. It is a society,and the fact must be recognisedand emphasised, because of thedanger of regarding a universityas, above all, a collection ofbuildings; t he existence andrecognition of such a societyimplies that no man lives untohimself, and this least of all in theworld of learning where discretedivision of subjects is impossible,and where most is to be learnedby coming into contact with thoseengaged in a similar search.

Ideals, however, are never fullyrealised, and in a revmw of ourposition in Trinity we must takeaccount of this fact. We havei m m e n s e privileges: generally,economic pressure is less severelyfelt here than in "red-brick" --there are few students in Collegewhose parents regard it as any-thing more than their pleasantduty to give their son or daughtera university education; we are aresidential university, and thismeans that most of us are not onlyrelatively free from parental in-fluence for four years, but that weare free to play as full a part aswe wish in the life of College; thisresidential atmosphere also tendsto counteract the inevitable ten-dency towards excessive specialisa-tion.

But " grey-brick" has its dis-advantages. All these privilegescan be, and are, abused. The factthat the need to obtain a degreeis less urgent may, in conjunctionwith the atmosphere of freedom,produce a large section of wastersand dilletantes; residence, doingaway with any idea of a superficialresemblance to school, may (to-gether with the social life)emphasise this tendency. But ifwe review the general position ofTrinity and compare it with othersimilar institutions, we shall findthat the lack of guidance is goodin itself (and produces remarkablyfew wasters), we shall find thatthe residential atmosphere, thegeneral relief from economic em-barrassment, indeed, even thehostile attitude found in someparts of our country, all contributeto a university which produces,not only useful citizens, but alsoeducated gentlemen and gentle-women,

Profile :DAVE

Dave Wheeler ~:as born about twentyyears ago in Dublin, and after aneducation at Mountjoy School, where,surprisingly enough, he failed to makeany mark in sport, he entered Trinityin the autumn of 1955 as an Honors

’student in Economics and PoliticalScience.

Since then, this cheery little man hasmade his mark on College sport and witha vengeance; though this might havebeen expected for his brother Georgehad been a very successful captain ofthe Soccer Club.

Dave’s list of sporting achievementsreads like a catalogue. His first love issoccer--in this sport he obtained coloursin his first year i~ College, and he hasbeen on the 1st XI since then. Lastyear’s Secretary, he is doing a tre-mendous piece of work as this year’sCaptain~-his insistence on training andhis own example having contributed verylargely to the team’s successes thisseason.

He had had no previous experience ofboxing when he entered College, but in1956 and in 1957 he won the U.A.U. andthe Irish Universities’ championships asa flyweight an d a bantamweight,respectively. It was in boxing that hewon the pink which is one of his dis-tinguishing characteristics. "

In hockey he has been on the 2nd XIsince entering College, being availablefor any position. He played in theJunior I.nterprovincial Trial last year.

Apart from these not mediocreachievements, which would be enoughfor the average sportsman, Dave hasdabbled in rowing (having gained hisMaiden colours for coxing the Maidens

last year) and cricket (playing for:Farmers last Trinity term), and claimsin addition to find recreation in tennis,table tennis and squash.

WHEELER -- All-RounderIn spite of what seems an almost full-

time career as sportsma.n, Dave stillfinds time for his honor course--he is,indeed, one of the few Junior SophisterEconomists who understand what their

lecturers are talking about. Alwayscheery and friendly, he succeeds in en-listing the friendships and support ofall who come in contact with him. Hisvery versatility, combined with thorough-]1hess and a capacity for sustained effort,should bring him success in the larger IIworld beyond the confines of this IUniversity. ]

That"Would you care for some coffee?"

A simple question you might say--butoh! the amount .of thought which pre-cedes it. To ,one who has observed theantics of the male species before thisimportant question, such moments arehilarious. Act I, Scene I, begins withthe entrance of La Dame. Both partiesappear to be totally unaware of eachother’s presence--or even existence, forthat matter. Mademoiselle seats herselfwith back to the male admirer--who nowdeems it reasonably safe to glance ather. (He has forgottenNall those littlefriends of hers who even now arementally taking out their note-booksand watching his every move with avideyes.)

The next scene begins when M,onsieurrises slowly and nonchalantly, and strollscasually to the book shelf exactly fivefeet ,away from the beloved. A pro-found interest is fostered in the Greekdictionary, of whose use he has suddenlyfelt the need (even though he happensto be studying modern languages). Hecarefully peruses the first ten words(which are indeed Greek to him) andthen with a decisive snap closes thelexicon and places it once more on theshelf.

With the beginning of Act II, the plotthickens, for two courses lie open to him.He has the choice of either having anintimate and .animated conversation withthe chap on her left about absolutelynothing at all; or else he will look overher shoulder and utter such profoundstatements as " Are you working veryhard?" Or " Heavens! Are you doingthat dreadful prose?" followed up by"What’s it like?" They then discussthe merits and de-merits of the afore-said prose in which, ,of course, they areboth very interested. A variatian tothis theme is: " Have you seen Old Petearound anywhere?"~again followed bythe same profotmd discussion aboutwhat Old Pete does or does not do withhis spare time.

Certain QuestionFinally, however, the fateful question

is asked and Mademoiselle manifestscomplete surprise at such a pleasantsuggestion (inwardly thinking " Thankgoodness thought he’d never get aroundto it," or else "That’s one in the eyefor Mavis "--Mavis being the currentrival).

In Act III the action becomes evenmore intricate, for this is the OmnesExeunt scene and great care must beobserved to take leave of the precinctsi,n a dignified manner, for both playersare fully aware that their departure isbeing watched by not a few spectatorsand certain difficulties must be sur-mounted if this is to be successful. Onesolution to the problem is for the gentle-man, having asked the young lady--tomake a quick exit, reaching the doorof the Reading Room while she is stillputting on her eoat, and meet her half-way up Grafton Street. The secondmethod is to stand waiting forMademoiselle--usually with a foolishexpression on the face -- or else tobecome engrossed once more in an even~more fervent study of the lexicon. Thechances are, of course, that he willbecome so interested in the dictionarythat he will have to catch up on herhalf-way up Grafton Street! In anycase, good luck to all you coffee drinkers.

COLLEGEOBSERVED

Looking tiredly through the fog ofCollege life, hungering for facts to twist,characters to ridicule, and a theme underwhich to combine the melange, I alightedtriumphantly on the following motif," Get out .of the rut. Be original.Dare!" Here are a few examples:

David Caskey has flung tradition to thewinds and established for himself a newreputation, exciting and entertaining.James Poynton has ceased to lean on anumbrella and literature f o r socialsupport, but creeps and (" I’m a hoyk ")slangs it out with the most notorious.Duncan Forson has fi,nally emerged from" Icarus " back-alleys and from his bedinto the adventurous career of a BoatClub and a Squash man. Bob Bartonhas decided that his beard is long enoughand his manners eccentric enough forhim to take up art, and has begun" painting cheesecake." Bill Meek,weary of lounging in the second hank ofPlayers, has finally surged up to thevery top rank and now holds his ownwith the best. Finally, and mostdangerous of all, (Iron and Geological)Miss Fionnula Pyle plans to remove theCampanile and excavate to its formerglory the ancient All Hallows’ monasterybeneath.

On this hopeful note, and amidst signs,if not of applause, certainly of relief. Ibid you, patient readers, good-bye. Tothose who have been misrepresented Ioffer ~ny regret; to those who have per-formed in this column I, offer my thanks,and to you, gentle audience, for not pro-testing too violently at my blunders, Ioffer you what will be aopreciated mostof all--mv future silence.

Yours then, for the very last time."Pip."

Moderation AcceptedThere was a large attendance at the

History Society to hear Mr. Rogers, theSpanish lecturer, give a talk entitled"Moors and Spaniards: some Spanishversions." These versions were drawnfrom literature of the sixteenth andseventeenth c~nturies. They w e r eliterar~ fictions not related to facts.Mr. Rogers gave various examples,mentioning Louis di L6on, a balladwriter, and by verbal illustrationsbrought sixteenth and seventeenthcentury Spain to life. The renownedCid appeared in most of the versions,which were maLnly chivalric, In themilitantly anti-Moorish literature thevictory of Don ~ohn of A~stria atLenanto was reneatedly celebrated inwritings, Cerv.antes wiving a straight-forward aocount .of the battle.

The Chairman thanked Mr. Rogers andthe proceedings ended with tea in theSociety’s rooms.

Letters toJ. E. L. OUTON MEMORIAL FUND

Dear Sir,--Some of yore’ readers willhave known the late Dr. J. E. L. Oulton,formerly Regius Professor of Divinity,a scholar of wide reputation .and withmany years of devoted service to theCollege, who died early this year. MayI take this opportunity of drawing theirattention to the J. E. L. OultonFund instituted at a public meeting afew months ago?

The nature of the memorial willdepend o,n the response from sub-scribers; but among various suggestionsmade at the public meeting were:--

(1) An annual grant by which menpreparing for ordination may be helpedto pursue postgraduate studies in theCollege, or abroad, and

(2) The assisting of parochial clergy-men to continue their theological read-ing in the years after their ordination.

It is intended that the final decisionon this matter will be referred to ameeting of subscribers.

Subscriptions may be sent to eitherthe Rev. S. G. Poyntz, St. Michan’sVestry, Church Street, Dublin, or my-self. Contributions already receivedvary from 10/- to £40---Yours sincerely,

E. J. Furlong.Trinity College, Dublin.

Dear Sir,--It is exceptionally un-fortunate that your reporter in hisarticle, " College Tightens P u r s e

the Editor.Strings," confused the issue by mention-lng that "the West Indian Students’Unian has asked the British Council toinquire through the appropriate channelsas to the possibility .of amending thenew regulation before it comes intoeffect next October."

No such thing was done. The Westhqdian students in College (and not theWest Indian Students’ Association), whowill be affected by the proposed sur-charge of 50 per cent., merely wrotethr.ough the appropriate channels re-questing some form of assistance in thepayment of the surcharge, possiblythrough grants from their individualColonial Governments.

No attempt was made, however, tol:rotest against the proposed surchargeas a form of discrimi,nation, as the WestIndians realised that their own Univer-sitv (University College of the WestIndies) was itself dependent on grantsfrom the West Indian Governments, andthat Trinity College was obviously in-debted likewise to Ireland and to GreatBritain.

I do hope that this letter will bepublished in your next issue as it ,mayhelp in some way to clarify the problemfrom the West Indians’ point of view,and to make your reporter aware of thefolly of being informed by the mis-informed.--Yours sincerely,

Lansdowne On TopColours Team Selected

Lansdowne, 28 pts.; Dublin University, 12 pts.

WITH only three days to the Colours match at Lansdowne Road,U.C.D. may be assessing their chances of victory by Trinity’s

current form; certainly 46 points against any side in two matches looksfar from healthy, but the big occasion often produces just that extradetermination out of each individual.

It was again the forwards who ore-vented Trinity from showing their beston Saturday. Scottish internationalhooker McEwan gave the Trinity packlittle hope in the set serums. In theline-out, Sutton was missed, while ha theloose they generally seemed slow andapathetic, Dowse and O’Connor beingexceptions. In attack, the backs weresupreme, but looked a different propo-sition in defence.

On each of the four occasions thatTrinity penetrated close to Lansdowne’sline they collected three points, all fromtries. The first of these bursts cameafter 12 minutes of Lansdowne pressure.After a line-out close to the Lansdowne" 25," the full-back was presented withthe ball, but was surprised to find Doyleup on him and Trinity thus opened thescoring. Reid-Smith was unsuccessful ina conversion attempt from close to thetouehline. They did not hold on to theirlead for more than a few minutes, aforward rush starting the Lansdownescoring spree. The resulting try wasconverted by Kelly, who himself collected13 points from his kicking during theafternoon.

The Lansdowne backs always lookeddangerous as Trinity failed to repel theirattacks convincingly, just preventingfurther score. A succession of touch-line kicks gave Reid-Sanith a slenderchance of realising a penalty. He wasunsuccessful and the ball seemed to berunning against Trinity on m anyocaasions.

Just before half-time, Kelly kicked apenalty goal, giving Lansdowne an 8-3lead as the players changed over. In12 minutes Trinity found themselves 19-3down and had rarely been seen in theLansdowne half. One of the tries foundLansdow~e backs scoring with two mento spare, their full-back always comingin. The best try came when half theTrinity side had a hand in sending DeWet over the line. Another penalty for

Lansdowne, however, made the score22-6. Trinity’s third try, another excel-lent one right in the corner, was scoredby Reid-Smith. Again La.nsdowne repliedwith a gift penalty right under the posts.Nisbet scored a try in what virtuallyproved to be Trinity’s final appearancein the .opposition’s half, Lansdownepressing for the remainder of the matchand bringing their tally up to 28 for shesecond week in succession.

Close ContestsTrinity acquitted themselves well last

week in the inter-club swimming andwater polo competition held at IveaghBaths by losing 22-28 in the swimmingand winning 3-2 in the water poloagainst Dublin¯ S.C.

After the first evemt, the 100 metresfreestyle, with first and fourth taken byM. O’Brien-Kelly and C. Pringle, Trinitywere leading by a point. Up against astrong and so far unbeaten team, theywere unsuccessful in ’the other individualevents in spite of some hard swimmingby J. Lee, J. Gibson and T. O’Loughlin.The flying squad was won in an excitingrace by Trinity. The issue was, how-ever, finally decided by Dublin winningthe medley squad.

It is in the water polo that praisemust be given to the Trinity team, notso much for their win as for their spiritand determination (showed) to fightback.
