The John's crew won the First Fours race easily, by six lengths, from Emmanuel and King's. King's however won the second race, with John's second and Emmanuel third.

St. Leo's and Union Colleges did not compete.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Congregational College Oongregatlonalists are by no means displeased that of the five names

above the Arts doorway at St. Lucia, two belong to them—Milton and \ Browning. Unfortunately, the other three lived too early In history.

ALL EVENING STUDENTS Mantoux tests are essential steps

in our campaign to wipe out tuber­culosis in this University.

The test takes only a few minutes, and, in conjunction with free chest X rays for all Mantoun positive stu­dents, will detect all hidden cases of ti^berculosis.

Mantoux tests will be held in the General Purpose Hall, George St. on MONDAY 24th and Wednesday 26th July. Two days after the test, the reaction must be read by an expert.

The readings will be held in the General Purpose Hall on Wednesday, 26th, & Friday 28th July from 5.45 to 6.15 p.m.

This is the first year that evening students have been granted this privi­lege, so make the most of it.

E.E.S.A. BOAT TRIP

On Saturday evening July 1st about 120 students enjoyed a boat trip to Bishop Island, organised by the Evening and External Students Asso­ciation. There was a full moon casting silvery reflection on the water and the nippy air was moderated by a plentiful supply of rugs and over­coats which most of those participa­ting bad the forethought to provide. An hour's dancing in the hall on the island improved the circulation and warmed up the party for the return trip.

A king tide added a little excite­ment (and muddy shoes) while crossing to the jetty. It was after midnight when the boat reached the wharf and folks on board had the

' joy of finding transport home.

A third Congregational name has now appeared within the University, as the Senate has granted affiliation to Cromwell College. The new col­lege is being set up by the Congre­gational Churches of Queensland as their contribution to the life of the University. It has been named after the Lord Protector, not only because he was a member of their Faith and Order, but because they believe that his sturdy independence and his ac­ceptance of personal responsibility are characteristics needed in the life of the nation to-day. Congregation­alism began during the reign of Elizabeth and gradually grew to a great peak during the Common wealth, when the leader of tate was of this faith. That he did some things wrong they do admit, but it is significant that G. N. Trevelyan (whose outlook is almsot anti-Puri­tan) in a recent judgment on Crom well wrote: "The world honours Eng-) say Lockley

land the more because Cromvyell was" an Englishman."

£40,000 PROMISED The new College has received ini­

tial promises of support to the ex­tent of something over £40,000, and its Governors hope that the fund vrill grow rapidly. Their intention is to begin construction as soon as possible, and seem so far to have the lead on all the other colleges as far as this likelihood goes. When estab­lished, they plan to have the num­ber of men in residence limited to a degree comparable with full fellow­ship between the staff and students.

PRINCIPAL ELECTED The Chairman of the Board of

overnors is Mr. I. Harold King, who is President- of the Congregational Union of Australia and New Zea­land, while the first Principal has

Xol. XIX. THURSDAY, JULY 13 No. 13

The Story of Malaya My previous article on Malaya was severely criticized by Mr.

Friemann, acording to whom the article was written "with a total disre­gard for the facts," Not only has Mr. Friemann shown disregard for the true facts, but he has conjured up a set of imaginary events to suit his own purpose. It is my intention, in this article, to outhne the true state of affairs in Malaya. To this end I have interviewed a resident of Malaya who has just returned from that country after having lived there since the Japanese occupation.

JtlALAYAN CONDITIONS. To begin with, Malayan conditions

are vastly different from conditions in Austraha, and any Australian who has not visited Malaya, Mr. Friemann included, is in no position to make statements about them, Mr. Pria-mann has stated that Malayan trade unions are banned. In contradicting this statement I quote "The Strait's Times," Friday, March 17th, 1950.

"Delegates representing leading Penang and Province Wellesley trade uiiions will meet on Saturday after­noon at the JuniorCivil Service As­sociation in Penang to discuss leading questions to.be raised at the forth­coming conference of Malayan trade unionists at Kuala Lumpur. , . . Gov­ernment as v/ell as non-government trade unions throughout the Settle­ments will be represented at the meeting."

According to my authoritative source of information the lowest paid Malayan boy receives 1 dollar 70 cents (1 dollar—3/) per day, and rice can be bought at 7/ for 10 pounds of rice. In case Mr. Friemann does not know rice must be grovwi on flat swamp land witht plenty of water, while rubber requires a drier environment. The proportion of land in Malaya de­voted to the growing of rice and rubber is conditioned solely by the confuguration of the land. The per­centage of land devoted to rubber can have no political meaning at all.

ATTITUDE OF MALAYAN PEOPLE.

According to Mr. Friemann. ". . . in this struggle the communists are leading and guiding the people." In actual fact, according to my source of information, the Malayan people hate the communist bandits, and look to the British for protection. A per­son who has lived among these people must surely know whether or not they are sympathetic to British rule. According to my friend the people think the British are fair and just,

and do not want them to leave Malaya.

The communists, of course, claim that this is ujjtrue. These hypocrites cry out against what they call "col­onial enslavement" and "capitalist oppression," They claim that more and more people in Malaya are sup­porting them. This I admit. The peace-loving Malayan population are forced to provide the communist ter­rorists with food and money. If they refuse they are ruthlessly murdered.

If on the other hand they disobey the British, they know they will re­ceive a fair trial. If they betray the communists to the police, they as well as their wives and families, are mur­dered. I quote again from "The Straits Times," October 29th, 1949.

"Bandits Hit Nail into Man's Head." A Chinese farmer who was taken away from his house two days ago by two Chinese dressed in black has been found dead in a ditch not far away with a nail driven through his head, and his hands tied behind his back."

The perpetrators of this atroc­ity, as well as many others, are the type of men who their "com­rades" In Australia claim, are leading and guiding the petoplo in their struggle for freedom. Such flagrant hypocrisy is so typical of communist propaganda. Again, we have tbp story, appearing in a Malayim newspaper of a Chinese, the father of sl.v child­ren, who was shot dead by the cottunmiists while paying his yearly visit to the grave of his wife. This gentleman had prob­ably refused to comply with the communists' demands for food and money. Little wonder then

'that the Malayan people help support the bandits—the price of refusal Is their life.

iDENxrry OF THE TERRORISTS. Tbe majority of the terrorists are

not Malays at all—they are Chinese bandits. I have seen the hated red

Sir— Dear Sir,— With regard to the impressively

titled article, "The Necessity for Compulsory Military lYaining" (S.F. 30/6/50), it would be interesting if the anonymous author would inform us:—

(a) Since when President Soe-karno, of Indonesia, has been a com­munist, and when the news of his conversion is to be made oificial.

{b) On what occasions Sockarno said or did anything which could possibly be construed as an act or threat of aggression against Aus­tralia.

(c) If it can be assumed that be­cause he wants New Guinea, or rather Dutch New Guinea, he has evil designs on Australia.

(d) If it is likely that Indonesia, even if she v ere willing and able to do so (which is very doubtful) would commit an overt act of aggression against us, knowing full well that such an act would involve her in a full-scale war with Britain and the U,S.A.

(e) Why, if men can be spared from industry, steps have not been taken to raise the school leavingr age to at least seventeen. Since the chances of winning a worthwhile victory by force in any future war appear very slight, would it not be advisable to give the younger gen­eration a decent education in the hope that they may become suffi ciently enlightened to jBnd a solution to the economic and political prob­lems that cause wars?

It will be a waste of time for men to fight another war unless we have first found a permanent way of "winning the peace." But per­haps our politicians think it more important that the big busmess ty­coons should be able to get office-boys at £3 a week instead of £6.— Yours, etc.,

PETER EDWARDS.

he pull his head in.—Yours, etc., D. J. CAMERON.

(The report that the name of the Revue was "Tripping Through the Ages" came from a source almost as elevated as yourself, Mr. Cameron. And one "blue" a year isn't bad going — rather better than my colleagues of the down-town press, I think. No, the new name doesn't click—and those apostrophes don't make it look less like a picture title.—Felix.)

-:o:-

Dear Sir,— For some time I have thought

that a lot of drivel is published in "Comment Alley, and at times I have wondered just how "Felix" mustered it up. "Two weeks ago the note about the Revue was not only drivel but it was completely wrong. The Revue never had its title changed to "Tripping Through the Ages." I hope the mighty Felix likes the new title, and if he considers that it still does not click, it is just too bad.

I suggest that if Fehx cannot base his notes on facts in future.

flag inscribed with the hammer and sickle. I have seen the khaki ban­dit's cap inscribed with the red star of Russia and the sheets of com­munist propaganda, written in Chinese and superscribed wfith the hammer and sickle, wich are de­posited at intervals along the roads of Malaya. I have seen all these things which were captured from the terrorists, and that is why I say these murderers of Malaya are com­munists, and ahnost exclusively Chinese.

So, readers, whenever you hear the communits cry out for freedom in Malaya—for freedoin from col­onial enslavement, or any other mia representations they may use, re­member that it is the voice of hypo­crisy speaking, and remember that it is the communist bandits them selves who are at present depriving the people of Malaya of one of their greatest freedoms—that is freedom from fear.

These statements ^re not just idle supposition, they are facts borne out by one vi*io . has llyed in Malaya among the people and knows exactly the state of affairs in that unfortu­nate country.

Next weeik I wUl discuss other as­pects of terrorist activities, and the pr«en1 methods of dealing with tbem.

-:o: DEAR CLODDE,

I am very hurt that as a parent of nine you would propose to me under a non de plume. I am also amazed to see that you think a girl taking a B.Sc. is wasting time. You forget that I can make rissoles and doubtless I can make quite a pala­table mess with snails and frogs legs.

However taking into consideration the fact that you have thirty cows and that butter fa is going up to 2/6^ per lb„ I find I cannot spurn your offer and I should like a photo­graph of your cows.

Unfortunately my cow is not inter­ested, so you will have to take me without it.

TheU.Q. COWGIRL :o:

Dear Sir,— I would like to protest against

the unwarranted article "An Attack on Women," by "Parents of Nine (9)" in "S.F.," July 7th. Tbese honourable gentlemen ask how many "University trained" women are able to darn their future husbands' clothes and cook them square meals?

Allow me to refer them to the S.C.M. Sock-darning Society, which is an excellent association designed especially to give University girls sound home-training. Further prac­tical experience is gained in the kitchen at S.C.M. "Teas."

What is more, these beautiful young ladies are the inspiration which spurs us to greater heights. What right have "Parents of Nme (9)"' to protest against the "heart" of the Queensland University?— Yours, etc.,

WOCKO THE BEAUT.

-:o:

DEAR SIR, Re the article in

Semper (7/7/50) on "Attack on Women." I heartily endorse these sentiments. A poor father must work hard all his life to bring up his child­ren decently and to provide thme with a suitable education. When the daughter reaches the post-senior stage, the unfortunate pater is pes­tered to allow his darling to gain a University Degree. For the next few years he must battle against circum­stance to keep the v/olf from the door. To his consternation he finds that his offspring has been gallivanting around to all the social functions in­stead of doing the hoped-for study. Think of the reverend father's dis­appointment when half-way through or at the completion of her course the apple of his eye decides to wed some gullible and innocent male, in­stead of becommg a potential crust earner. I am a doting father and I prefer to see my daughters preparing for a fuller life in the form of mar­riage instead of wasting their time with lower forms of life, chemicals, rocks, etc. These things will do them no earthly good except perhaps to erase a husband or two. Yes! A woman's place is definitely in the home.

Bach used the Kyrie and the Gloria of this Mass to petition the Duke of Saxony to grant him the office of Court Kapellmeister to his Hoyal Highness. The following is the letter he wrote to "the most illustrious Prince and Lord, the Lord Friedrich August, King and Prince of Poland and Lithuania, Duke of Saxony, etc., etc., etc. My Most Gracious Sovereign,

Most Illustrious Elector, Most Gracious Lord.

I lay before your Kingly Majesty this trifling work (or proof) of the science which I have been able to attain in music, with the very humble petition that you will be pleased to regard it, not according to the measure of the meanness of the composition, but with a gracious eye, as befits your Majesty's world-famed clemency and condescend to take me under your Majesty's moat mighty protection. For some years and up to the present time, I have had the direction of the music in the two principal churches of Lcip-sig; but I have had to suffer, though in all innocence, from one and an­other vexatious cause—at different times a diminution of the fees con­nected with this function, and which might be withhold altogether unless your Kingly Majesty will show me grace and confer upon me a Prae-

dicate of your Majesty's Court Cap-elle, and will issue your high com­mand to the proper persons for a granting of a patent to that effect. And such a gracious acceding to my most humble petition, will bind me by infmite obligations, and I hereby offer my.self in most dutiful obedience to prove my indefatigable diligence in composinig church music, as well as in your orchestra, whenever it is your Kingly Majesty's most gracious desire, and to devote my whole pow­ers to your Majesty's service, remain­ing with constant fidelity your Kingly Majesty's most humble and obedient servant,

JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH.

This gem of literary composition was signed at resden, July 27th, 1733, and was apparently quite effec­tive.

This Mass is one of the most beautiful vvork.s of sacred music ever to be composed and illus­trates to a magnificent degree Bach's genius and mastery of his profession. Each portion of this work varies in form or mood from the remainder, yet the Mass remaiuH unified by Bach's strong religious feeling and is one which is delightful to perform and should bo luiown to every lover of music.

JUDITH HARRISON, Hon. Sec; ,U.Q,D.S,

The idea is for medical students, who find any ethical or moral prob­lems in their work which are diffi­cult to reconcile with their concep­tion of Christianity, to be able to understand these matters better. One such conference was held in Melbourne earlier this year, and yielded a lot of help to those attend­ing it. The conference v/ill be led by throe very competent men, tv.'o doctors (one of whom is Dr. Arden) and Archdeacon Hardie, a man who can help. us in any matters theol­ogical.

The week-end conference will be run as a subsidiary of the ordinary vacation S.C.M. conference; that is, we plan to have meals and recrea­tion together, but to hold our ad­

dresses, discussions and studies'sep- * aratcly. Most will leave by train on the Friday night, and arrive there that same night, and the plan will be of three addresses, followed by discussion periods on questions brought up by the addresses, with recreation on the Saturday after­noon, and departure on the Sunday afternoon.

These men we have coming should enable us to sort out many medical problems, such as suffering and pain, miracles, faith healing and the re­lation of the Christian doctor to society. Application forms will be ready soon, and these will be avail­able from Nev. Parker in fifth year, Bryan Emmerson in fourth, and Bill Orford in third year.

"WOT L A R R S " ! Yes, it was "wot larks" at the Newman Winter School for 1950,

held last weekend at the ATarist Brothers' College, Ashgrove, from the night of Friday, June 23rd, to the night of Sunday, June 25th. Over 30 University students were there—most of them gave studies away for the weekend and boarded at the College, though some could come-only for the lectures themselves.

Everyone was in the highest of spirits, partly because it was fine sunny weather (just by way of a change I) and partly because there was such a varied and interesting programme. The theme of the school was,

".Your Daily Life," Each session took the form of a talk by a pro­minent lecturer, followed by dis­cussion groups among the students themselves. And what lively dis­cussions! Peelings ran high after Saturday morning's lecture on Work by Rev. Father McCarthy, M.S.C. The dignity of human labour was emphasized. Work was once considered something degrading, fit only for the lowest strata of human society; but in truth, the expendi­ture of man's energy is necessary in order to satisfy his wants. Then there is profit, which is the natural result of work, but which should not be exploited. This last point led to a discussion on Capitalism and Communism and the part they play in the lives of the workers of today. Unfortunately, there was a time limit of a couple of hours,

otherwise. some people would still be talking about the Anti-Red Bill-I heard Julie Hanlon and Betty-ardiner voicing words of wisdom upon certain economic problems of the day, whilst Jack O'Shea and Peter Kanowski expounded the merits and demerits of incentive payment and profit-sharing as: practised by some State and over­seas business firms.

Of particular interest also was-"The Right Use (of Leisure" by Rev. Father Lynch, O.Carm., who-dealt chiefly with practical situa­tions in the undergraduates' life. Saw Pam Breslin, John Owens and" Marie Earle listening to David" Barnes' extraordinarily interesting views on company keeping.

A very keenly contested debate took place down in the G.P. Hall, George Street, last Friday evening, 30th June, on the subject: "That Socialism Is Inevitable." A Radical Club team affirmed, while another team of law students denied. Mr. Pinucan, the President of the So­ciety, a well-known past debater, adjudicated.

Mr. Roberts, leader of the affirm­ative team, opened with a fighting speech on the merits of Socialism and the miseries of Capitalism. ' He threw out two main points a? a challenge to. the oppositiori: That Capitalism means unemployment, and war. His team then showed that the majority'of workers cirave socialism, which rneans prosperity and happiness. ,, •, •

Socialism,' h)r the' purpbses of de­bate, was^deiinedas "ownership by the.Statd of the^i^eans of'production,

,distribution and exchange." - The leader of the negative team, Mr.

Thompson, defined "inevitable" as "bound to happen; based on laws of-nature, not on plot of composition." This, happily, proved a bone of con­tention for the adjudicator.

The negative team lauded the pre­sent system by maintaining that un­employment was not a necessary evil of Capitalism, for it is against the proprietor's advantage" to have un­employed, for that means no money to buy his goods, and depression for him. They did not close with the opposition on the challenge of war, as the adjudicator pointed out. However, they further maintained that nothing is inevitable, and that for socialism to come, we must either yield our rights of private owner­ship voluntarily or be forced, to yield them. Under present conditions of prosperity and happiness we are not prepared to give them-up. so force would be necessary, and' this was not likely to succeed. Consequently, since the majority are contented

under the present system, and a. revolution was out of the question,, socialism is not inevitable.

The debate went on, each speaker rising to defend his own team's-thesis and hurling barbs at the op­position. There was little humour in such a controversial subject, and some speakers did not appear easy in manner or convincing in style„ the adjudicator remarked,

A pleasant RUpper, as Is usual every Friday, was served after-the debate, and,all departed In philosophic mood, many none the-wiser as to,what socialism really Is or wbethcr It will Indeed come»
