Someone saw Nasrudin searching for something on the ground.

What have you lost, Mulla?' he asked.

'My key,' said the Mulla.

So they both went down on their knees and looked for it.

After a time the other man asked: 'Where exactly did you drop it?'

'In my own house.'

'Then why are you looking here?'

There is more light here than inside my own house.'

Editorial It would be easy to be cynical, or idealistic in aspiration about “Brotherhood” or blasé about the whole concept of International House. In my editorial though, rather than opt for my personal slant of these options I have chosen to offer a few thoughts from Kahil Gibran’s book “The Prophet”.

o> Editor: Margaret Bryant

Page 2

You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts; And when you can no longer dwell in the solitude o f your heart you live in your lips, and sound is a diversion and a pastime.

And in much o f your talking, thinking is half murdered.

For thoughts is a bird o f space, that in a cage o f words may indeed unfold its wings but cannot fly-

There are those among you who seek the talkative through fear o f being alone.

The silence o f aloneness reveals to their eyes their naked selves and they would escape.

And there are those who talk, and without know­ ledge or forethought reveal a truth which they themselves do not understand.

And there are those who have the truth within them, but they tell it not in words.

In the bosom o f such as these the spirit dwells in rhythmic silence.

When you meet your friend on the roadside or in the market-place, let the spirit in you move your lips and direct your tongue.

Let the voice within your voice speak to the ear o f his ear; For his soul will keep the truth o f your heart as the taste o f the wine is remembered.

When the colour is forgotten and the vessel is no more.

Kahlil Gibran

Its a Pleasure«.

When you reach the age o f three score years and ten it is not expected that any new experiences w ill hold any attraction but it is true to say that l was happy to take the opportunity when it presented itself o f living in International House as Acting Warden fo r fo ur months from March to July of this year because my experience of living in a college was confined to tw o weeks in International House a few years ago and that of course hardly counts.

Whilst I was confident that any situation which may arise could be handled I realised that although I have fo r years made frequent visits each week to International House I was really an unknown quantity w ith it, which seems a reputation not entirely undeserved.

After two weeks or so which I fe lt was spent in sizing each other up, a friendly informal Family Type atmosphere between us became evident and that made me very pleased and gave me a lot of satisfaction.

The visit of the girls to Mrs Martin on Mothers Day, a pleasant informal Birthday party on the day I entered my second childhood, the presenta­ tion made at the Formal Dinner, and the informal discussions which took place on many more occasions leads me to th ink that because of this closer association a better understanding has been

reached, and my life has been enriched because I believe that more than 150 people who were living in International House during this time will for the rest of their lives th ink more kindly of me than they may have otherwise done.

After all, this is what International House is all about and anyone who does not make the most of the opportunity while living at International House to form lasting friendships is missing the most important thing o f life.

During these four months I received the most friendly co-operation from Vic Winders, Bobby De Buse, Iris Williams and every member of the Kitchen Staff and Cleaning Personnel and this co­ operation of course made anything that I had to do very much easier.

Those residents who were able to attend the last Formal Dinner while I was Acting Warden w ill remember that I said, " I t may be thought that when you leave here your education is finished but I tell you that it w ill be only just beginning because you w ill then have to learn the art of selling and that learning continues all your life.

Everyone is a Salesman selling their services or goods and that in spite of all the theories in text books on the art of selling it all boils down to two things — 'Know your product' and 'Sell yourself' and I pointed out that although I personally became involved in a lot of other activities I was essentially a Salesman and that the nicest thing I could say to anyone is what I now say to all of you individually and collectively, 'I t was a pleasure to do business with you'.

STUDY LEAVE DIARY 1976 The Board of Governors granted me four months study leave beginning in March of this year. The first part was spent in renewing acquaintances throughout S.E. Asia, the second in looking at universities and colleges in the United Kingdom.

Queensland. Again they are employed quite well but so so often are frustrated by inability to progress within the system owing to their youth and, in comparison with western standards, are poorly paid for the good work they are doing.

First stop Jakarta — teeming, bustling, telephone system chaotic — welcomed by Sumitro, Soekarmadji, Soejono (1965) — (Santosa away growing rice in Bali).

Within the United Kingdom the following special features stand out. The British Council gives the best possible help and service to sponsored overseas students and, if under their umbrella, problems are minimised. The private overseas student is less ad­ vantaged and were it not for voluntary organisations such as U K C O SA his situation would be parlous.

Then Kuching — Peter Kedit, Chung Lok Tan, Roger and Sue Wong — a trip inland to Iban country — memorable and moving.

Thence to Khota Kinabulu to Felix Lo, Tham Tuck Ming and overland to Sandakan to Fred Tsen and Dr. Laurence Chiu — election time — Alliance -v- Berjaya — atmosphere electric!

Next University of Singapore and Raffles Hall and Ho Hon Fatt, Edward Quah and Mayling, Dr. Yau Li and Sook Leng, Hilda Lo, Moey Fah, Nellie Fong, Dr. Ragbir Bhathall — Singapore-dynamic and everchanging.

Kuala Lumpur: met so kindly and cared for by Meng Sum Fong's father — visited the University of Malaya where student dissent is quashed by dissolving the Students' Union; where residence in college is measured by a student's contribution to his college.

In other words — No Contribution NO ROOM ! Again "Ex-Internationals" — Dr. Kumar Das, Salii Ray, Cary Gan, Mohamed Bin Sulaiman who all combined to make my stay a time to remember.

Universities outside of London really make an effort to provide adequate housing for their students much in the way the University of Queensland did in the 1950's. Much attention is given to improving the standard of English of overseas students as part of the university programme.

Overall, however, the overseas student in Australia has fewer problems to overcome than those in the U.K. But much more could be done especially for the private students were the government willing to do so.

For any who may question the existence and value of an International House go visit those who have passed your way before!

I.M.B.C.

Next — Bangkok where Omboon Vallisuta's father.

Colonel Tanid, really looked after his "overseas student" as did Mrs. Komkhan Supanjanya. Dr. Manoon and Dr. Visut Baimai are both Associate Professors at Mahidol University. Visited student hostels — much overcrowding and poor study facilities and unbelievably fierce competition to gain a university place.

North to Hong Kong — true to the image of its picture postcards — two magnificent universities — again such fierce work competition for both places and survival, that the average Australian would quail at the very thought! Once more the unfailing kindness of Norman Cheng, and the family of Chiu and Waung.

The final destination in my South East Asian odyssey was Rangoon, capital of the Union of Burma. A t the airport were Dr. Mollie Maung, Dr. Myint M yint San, Hla Myint, Shwe T un Maung, Swe Thwin, Aung San. The only ones absent were San San M yint Thein who were in another part of the country at the time of my visit. Burma presented a sad economic picture — food shortages, a thriving "black market", a scenario worthy of war torn Britain yet in a country so agricul­ turally rich and with a charm and beauty all of its own.

Anzac Day in Rangoon and the war cemetries seemed so more than real.

Generally, in S.E. Asia our former students did con­ sider International House to be their Australian "hom e" and similarly they placed a very high value on the education they received at the University of K A N Y A N A 1976

Peter Gibson managed a particularly efficient sporting programme this year. His efforts combined with the numerous social functions created greater cohesion amongst college member. However, new formulae are needed to solve the problem o f bringing residents together.

For too long, we have seen sporting and social activities as the only means of promoting I.H's ideals. Greater emphasis should be placed upon stimulating exchanges at a more 'intellectual' level.

Only by discussing certain issues can we properly define our differences and similarities. For this reason, I regard the 'low-key' discussion groups which sprang up in second semester as a very positive contribution to college life.

President's

No doubt, as was evidenced this year, discussion groups may generate confrontation and dissention among college members. However surely this is preferable to ignoring issues completely. Intra-college harmony based on an avoidance of contention is surely a hollow form of harmony. By 'burying our heads in the sands' we forced ourselves to co-exist w ithin college on a very superficial level. I.H's potential is thus sadly unexploited. Clearly, only by provoking a 'meeting o f minds' can we hope to reach a consensus.

Report 1976 has been a mixed year for college. On the positive side, we can look to our performance as I.C.C. host college and the running o f Soiree.

Since the beginning of first semester, George Perry has devoted himself almost entirely to the administra­ tion o f the I.C.C. competition. A fte r endless wrangling w ith the sports union, George produced perhaps the most outstanding ever I.C.C. competition. Certainly his efforts have done much to enhance the name of I.H. in the eyes o f other colleges on campus.

Graeme Baguley too, expended much time and energy in organising this years Soiree. With foresight, he changed its venue and form at, thus rendering it a more satisfying event fo r all concerned. As usual, Soiree marked the high point of college co-operation, and highlighted our potential when imbued w ith a common aim.

Perhaps many residents fe lt that mixing in college has declined this year in comparison w ith previous years. However one should not be overly pessimistic here. In many cases our ideal of 'brotherhood' has been valuably promoted on an individual level.

Meaningful exchanges have occurred amongst small groups o f friends. In my opinion, cross-cultural mixing of this type has far greater value than that which derives from a more widely spread, and thus shallower, association between residents.

K A N Y A N A 197Ă?

During the year, we have seen a decline in support for student club activities. In retrospect, one can explain this trend by reference to the large number of departures from college in first semester, and the strain placed on college by its responsibility for hosting the I.C.C. this year. Partly because of these factors, many residents apparently forgot the essence of communal living, and were content to let too much work gravitate into the hands of a willing few.

However signs of hope do exist. The newly formed 'Landscaping Committee' reflects a sense of initiative and concern among college members. Through their efforts, I.H. should be able to boast a far pleasant environment by the end of this year. The lesson is clear. Only if this attitude involvement gains wide足 spread acceptance amongst residents, can we hope to exploit I.H's potential. Should we all fail to contribute something to college, then it will stand as a prime example of misguided altruism.

Finally, I sincerely thank my fellow executive members for their support so freely given and their individual endeavours which have all too often passed unnoticed.

CARTER — 1976 certainly has been an exciting year fo r America!

Guess it especially seems that way for me since I'm here missing out on all the excitement — though I've had a beautiful stay here in Australia (and New Zea­ land not to mention a trip through Asia on the way home).

D idn’t seem right to be here on July 4th. — how I wished I were back home fo r that particular day — would have been nice to see all the TV and newspaper coverage of all the celebrations. Seems I can't get enough news from home. I especially fe lt that way over what was to me the fever-pitched intensity of the American Presidential elections. In case you thought you'd seen all the articles on the election, you're about to get another recap!

Of course, the most unbelievable aspect of this election was the nomination of a Deep Southerner fo r President. The Deep South consists of the States of the Mississippi River and south of the Ohio River — like Tennessee, the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc., those that formed the Confederacy in the Civil War. We haven't had an elected Southern President since 1848 when Zachary Taylor assumed office. In 1865, we had a "deep southerner" from Tennessee fo r President, Andrew Johnson, but he took office after Lincoln was assas­ sinated. Since then, having a person from the Deep South as president has been considered an absolute political impossibility. So Jimmy Carter pulled o ff the political coup of the century!

South was regarded as an important political bloc in which a presidential candidate had to win the electoral votes o f some states in order to win the Presidency.

However, since the Civil War and the rapid expansion o f the Industrial Revolution in America, the region of key importance in a presidential election has always been regarded as the Industrial N orth, which is rich in popular votes (and thus rich in electoral votes).

Why do we officially elect a president on electoral votes and not on popular votes? The framers of the Constitution of the United States created the Elect­ oral College system as travel and communication was not sophisticated in those days. Each state was re­ sponsible fo r counting the popular votes and then giving all its electoral votes to the candidate who poll­ ed the most popular votes — even if by the slimmest of margins, then sending delegates to a central location — results were not known fo r months as travel was slow.

The winning candidate has to win more than half of the total electoral votes. A t present, there are 538 electoral votes, so 270 is the magic number as it is just over 50%, The electoral college system is regarded by many Americans as old and antiquated, but special interest groups have biased reasons fo r retaining the system.

For example, an ethnic group in Illinois, say, could have the potential o f a few thousand votes and if the

Why was the election of a person from the Deep South considered a political impossibility?The Deep South was dealt a near fatal blow w ith the Civil War, and economic recovery was a long and arduous process, especially so since southern politicians could not receive endorsement from the northern states fo r the highest federal executive positions. One of my history professors at home, a deep southerner who is consider­ ed an expert on American History reiterated the impos­ sibility many times. I can't wait to go back and see his reaction to this political miracle! He had told us that the most political clout that the South had had since the Civil War was being instrumental in the election of Woodrow Wilson in 1912 (who was born in Virginia, but raised and educated in the North, and a professor of Politics at Princeton University before becoming President,) and also in forcing Roosevelt to not retain Henry Wallace as vice-President in the 1944 election b ut to choose Truman instead. Generally the deep

USA SELECTION two major candidates were running close in Illinois, this group would have the political clout and conse quently would vote fo r the candidate whose campaign promises were most beneficial to their particular situa­ tion. If the Electoral College were abolished, this group w ith its few thousand votes would have negli­ gible impact on the number of popular votes nation­ wide, and would virtually have no bargaining power to make social political and economic gains fo r their group. America has been called the melting pot fo r all persuasions and creeds, so we have several of these m i­ nority groups — ethnic, racial, religious, etc. — which would lose their political bargaining power if the elect­ oral college system were abolished.

Still, on each election, those who want to get rid of the the electoral voting method, voice their opinions loud­ ly, even more so if the race looks like a dead heat as it did this year. You see it is possible for a candidate to win more popular votes than his opponent but get less electoral votes, thus the opponent would be President as he would have more electoral votes (also that number would need to be more than half of the total elector­ al votes). He could get more electoral votes by w inn­ ing by a small margin in States like New York, Califor­ nia and Texas which have many electoral votes, but losing by large margins in states which have only a few electoral votes. This happened once in 1876, but that election was not regarded as 'fair' since all the electoral votes o f 3 states whose popular votes were too close to call fo r either candidate were given to the one with the lower number o f electoral votes, propelling him to the Presidency. He won by 185 to 184 electoral votes — though I venture to say this illegal situation could not happen again due to a well informed electorate.

Ford could have remained President w ith less popular votes than Carter if he had won New York. New York, rich in potential votes, has 41 electoral votes, so if Ford had gotten New York he would have won over Carter by 282 to 256 electoral votes — which could have happened since the votes in New York were so close the Republicans issued orders to impound the voting machines and retally the popular votes, and Ford may have won New York on a recount. How­ ever, after the rest of the returns were in. Ford, on unanimous advice from his aides to rescind the impoundment, withdrew the request made by the Republican campaign chairman in New York.

Political History was made in other ways in this elec­ tion. Ford is the first incumbent President choosing to run for office who has been defeated since Hoover in 1932, and the third in this century (Taft lost to Wilson in 1912), so as you see, we tend to return to office our incumbent Presidents seeking re-election.

However, Ford is considered to have made the greatest political comeback in history, as he was behind Carter by 33% in the polls at mid year.

Political analysts say that it wasn't so much Carter that beat Ford than the fact that 2 out of 3 registered voters are Democrats, and that this was a year in which the Democrats were heavily favoured to win. Why? Not so much Watergate and economic woes as the fact that we tend to change administra­ tion every 8 years, a pattern we have followed con­ sistently since the second World War. I suppose most voters get tired of the status quo and want to see new faces , a new administration in power which can hope­ fully make changes fo r the better.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA Sometimes referred to as "Stone Age Island", Papua New Guinea is a melting pot of ethnic groups; a country of great contrasts — topographically, scenically, climatically ... w ith M t Wilhelm in the New Guinea Highlands towering at 15,000 feet, often with snow on its peak, to the variety of small islands dotted throughout the D'Entrecasteaux Group and Louisiade Archipelago.

Papua New Guinea's indigenous peoples number some 2,200,000 made up of over 700 tribes and as many languages and dialects.

Somewhere along the line, the country became endowed w ith a bastard tongue — "Pidgin English" — as a lingua franca of the country, by which means the peoples communicate w ith each other, and w ith the expatriates living in their country. Their languages, from their own tribes and/or districts, they refer to as "piles to k " — or "place ta lk ". An American organisation, the Sommer Institute o f Liguistics — has fo r some years been compiling data on the various languages, and members of this organisation live in villages all over the country, learn to speak the languages, and learn the customs and folklore of the various peoples.

Papua New Guinea is a mecca for the anthropologist, and the country is inundated with this ilk from all corners of the globe — a high proportion of anthrop­ ologist visitors from U .S.A. Michael Rockefeller, (son o f Nelson Rocke­ feller, ex-Governor o f New York, and Deputy President o f the U.S.A.,) spent some time in Papua New Guinea making some first-class films of the primitive tribes, their daily lives, and their inter-tribal wars, by living amongst the villagers for some months at a time w ith a team of photographers and sound-recording experts. Two films are w o rth ­ while seeing if you have the chance: "Gardens o f War" (there is a book by the same name, w ith pictures taken from the film ), and "The Birds".

Michael Rockefeller was so imprudent as to venture into little-known te rrito ry, contrary to the advice of missionaries who knew the area — his canoe overturned, and he struck out for shore. His colleague who remained w ith the canoe, was rescued — Rocke­ feller was welcomed by the native inhabitants of the area and cannibalised — according to missionaries in the area. Emerging nation though it be, Papua New Guinea IS a primitive country, w ith, to us, strange and gruesome ways.

In the Eastern Highlands of New Guinea, a disease known as "K u ru " or "laughing disease", is only just beginning to disappear. The cause — devouring the putrefying brains of one's recently deceased relatives to maintain contact w ith their spirits. The clinical name for the disease eludes me, but it is caused by a virus which is slow to incubate — 15 years in some cases — but causes irremedial degeneration of the central nervous system, characterized by lack of control over the facial muscles — hence "laughing disease".

Page 10

There is no hierarchy to the social structure of the tribes of Papua New Guinea, as there is in Polynesian society, although in areas such as the Sepik, a hereditary rank is handed down from father to son — a "C h ie f" or "Sana", similar to the chiefs of Fiji. However, there is no "Council of Chiefs", meeting of "feudal lords" etc as has existed in Fiji for many, many generations ... far too complex a topic to embark on!

A little potted history and geography: Papua New Guinea lies less than 100 miles from Australia's Northern tip, and has been known for 400 years, yet remains partly unexplored, contains people yet to see a white man, and preserves most primitive cultures. New Guinea is the largest island in the wor dthe Eastern half of the island known as Papua New Guinea, the Western half of the island known as West Jrian — w ith the Indonesian maps naming P.N'.G. as "East Irian" — food for thought.

Another custom which is unusual to us, but common­ place to tribes such as the Watuts of the Menyamya area, is smoking their dead on raised platforms, placed in a sitting position, and fairly successfully preserved by this process.

In some parts of Papua New Guinea, it is still common practice to cut o ff a jo in t of one finger of a female member of the family when a relative dies.

Some unfortunate females are left w ith stumps on both hands in place of fingers, evidence of a highm ortality fam ily! This custom applies to female children just as much as adult females of the tribe.

Papua New Guinea's Prime Minister, Michael Somare, is a most able and dedicated leader. Himself a "Sana" or Chief, o f the Sepik region, he is working strenu­ ously towards a unified country — a most energetic, capable and sincere man, seen to parry political and economic issues for iy 2 hrs solidly, in a most diplomatic and adroit manner. Michael Somare faces an unenviable task — the country's vast areas, & the diversity of its peoples, require masterful manipula­ tion to bring about some form of cohesiveness and unity, so it can function as an independent nation.

MEXICO Mexico has six main native cultures; TARASCO, TOLTECA, OLMECA, ZAPOTECA, M AYA, and AZTECA and in the northern arid region two important tribes the YAQUI and TAR AH U M AR A. The AZTECS and the TARASCO people were noted for their hostle nature before the Spanish Conquest. The largest and most artistic culture were the MAYANS. Mexico was discovered in 1492 and conquered in 1510 by the Spanish. Since then Mexico was under Spanish Dominion fo r 300 years until the Independence War (1810).

In the present century Mexico has suffered three major Revolutions: the Mexican Revolution (1910) against P. Dias who was the president for 32 years; a Civil War (1914-1922) the main leaders were Emiliano Zapata, Obregon, Pancho Villa, etc.; and the Christian War (1928-1936).

The highlights o f Mexico today include; Places fo r Study One National University in Mexico City with 200,000 students. One National Institute o f Technology (Inst. Politecnico Nal.) with 150,000 students. One National Agricultural University with 5,000 students.

Twenty-five smaller universities throughout the country.

Industry First in world silver production.

Fourth in world gold production.

Tenth in world copper production.

Agriculture 75% o f the population are engaged in agricultural production. 60% o f the land is under agricultural use and 20% is used for livestock. Mexico exports 40% o f its agricultural products, most o f which are consumed in the U.S.A. (Marihuana is one o f them).

Population 55 m illion people with a 6:1 female to male ratio (mama mia), due mainly to the 3 Revolutions.

Mexico City: 12 million people.

Im portant cities: Guadalajara (the most beautiful girls!), Merida, Monterrey, Puebla, Obregon, and Acapulco.

Entertainment Acapulco, o f course, but there remains virgin beaches and lush jungles which you would enjoy very much.

However, the most beautiful place in Mexico is the Caribbean Sea (Yucatan and Quintana Roo).

Food Tacos, Nachos, Enchiladas, Tostadsa, Tamales, Atole, Pozole, Carnitas, etc., etc.

Drinks TEQ U ILA, Mezcal, Pulque, Bacanora, Beer and Brandy.

Transport The buses are very cheap (e.g. to travel the equivalent distance between Brisbane and Sydney would cost 10 dollars via an air conditioned Greyhound service with stereophonic music).

Luxurious trains (French m ade).cheaper than the bus but slower.

Prices Due to the recent devaluation the Australian dollar is 30 Mexican dollars (pesos), previously $A1 = 15 pesos, thus everything is nearly free.

THUS amigos if you are thinking o f coming to Mexico do not hesitate (remember that 6:1 ratio and girls, the Mexicans are very charming and polite so there is no need to worry).

A PEARLY OASIS ROTUMA In the legendary past, Raho, a chief of unknown origin, threw a basket o f sand into the waters of the South Pacific Ocean and created the pearly oasis of Rotuma. The small island was later populated by the descendants o f Tokaniua, who was either a Tongan or a Samoan chief. The Rotumans, like other Polynesians have no w riting, and the legendary founding o f Rotuma is recorded in song. Many legends describe the tall and powerful chiefs of early Rotuma, whose cannibalistic habits seem to have faded before the coming of the missionaries.

Today, Rotuma, lying 400 miles north of Fiji has a pouplation o f approximately 6,000. It is a tiny island, being some 20 miles in circumference; 7 miles across and 4 miles wide. Although there are no sealed roads the island boasts o f twenty or so trucks and cars, and many more motor bikes. There is one local policeman who mainly functions as a traffic controller. Any serious crimes are dealt w ith in the criminal courts at Suva.

The Rotuman council is formed by seven chiefs and their advisors, representing the different districts.

A district officer, appointed by the Fijian Govern­ ment presides over council proceedings. The Fijian Government has also provided a small hospital, staffed by a doctor and two nurses, a post office, four primary schools and a secondary school, (up to form fo u r).

Communications w ith the Fiji mainland are either through the island's only wireless or by the island trading vessel which calls in every two months.

It brings mail, relatives and supplies, and takes copra, oranges and taro back to F iji. Passengers spend an arduous fifty hours on the boat and sleep on the decks. When the boat arrives, word quickly spreads, and practically the entire population turns on a welcome. With rough seas the boat is forced to anchor outside the reef, and cargo is ferried ashore in dinghies. As yet not many tourists have discovered this isolated retreat.

Life is simple fo r the Rotumans. Each fam ily has a small garden plot where the men grow taro, yams and cassava. Pigs and chickens are kept by most families, while some may own one or two cows.

Horses are also kept to transport both people and produce. Both men and women fish, though only the men fish offshore from their outrigger canoes.

Housework is devoid of modern appliances as there is no electrical power in Rotuma. A few families have their own small generator.

Houses are constructed of palm fronds or limestone and some more modern dwellings of concrete and tin.

Page 1 2

A small income is derived from the Rotuman Co­ operative, of which every islander is a shareholder.

Work is on a roster basis and the co-operative exports copra, oranges and taro, as well as operating the largest store on the island. Rotuma is reputed to produce the sweetest oranges and pineapples.

Most of the islanders are Methodists and the missionaries have instilled in them a strong religious conviction. An amusing tale is told in the South Pacific. When the missionaries came they gave the Rotumans tins of biscuits. Enjoying these very much, and being agriculturally inclined, the natives proceeded to "p la n t" these tins and anxiously awaited their growth. To this day Rotumans are jokingly called "biscuits".

Apart from the occasional movie, entertainment is of the home-made variety — cards, dancing and singing. Social occasions are a community affair, and everyone helps to prepare the food. A t these functions it is common to cook a pig in a koua.

(A underground pot).

Sport too, forms part of the entertainment. A style o f wrestling, similar to judo is popular and the champion travels around the island to meet challengers. This certainly is a crowd-pleaser. The very old sport of "tik a " involves throwing an " 'u rto 'a " (a long bamboo stick weighted at one end), along a bush road. A steady eye and a strong arm gives one a head start in this game.

So this is Rotuma — small, isolated and unknown.

S IE R R A LEONE This is a country on the West Coast o f Africa, lying be­ tween 6 55 ’ and 10 North and 10 16’ and 1 3 1 8 ’ West.

It is therefore comparable in latitude to Panama, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and the Phillipines. It is a few degrees o ff Cape Verde and Dokor in Senegal. Consequently, it offers a significant air link to a number of countries from Europe and South America.

The country was named Sierra Leone which means “ Lion M ountain” in Portugese following its recorded discovery by a Portuguese navigator Pedro de Sintra in 1462. Pedro entered the country in search o f water, and, according to the records, approached the country around September or October, a period known fo r its severe electrical storms. His first impression o f the country (being mountainous) was o f a huge lion and with the thunderous sound in the background, it made him feel that it was a huge lion roaring. He therefore called it “ Lion Mountain” and indeed, six miles out at sea, the first glimpse o f this beautiful country is one of a graceful lion.

Sierra Leone’s compact shape and coastal nature means that her international boundries are short, measuring about 555 — 397 miles with Guinea and 1 50 miles with Liberia, its two immediate neighbours. This is in con­ trast to places like the Congo (Zaire) w ith an interna­ tional boundry o f about 6,3000 miles. Sierra Leone’s boundaries were established in 1904 in an exchange o f territory between France and Britain.

Freetown, the capital has its name from the period of the abolition o f slave trade. The advocates at the time were looking fo r a place to rehabilitate slaves that had been freed and some companies that had established themselves in the coastal areas to supply timber to the British Navy were approached w ith the problem. They were able to buy the area now called Western Area, which was the Colony during the colonial rule, from the chief fo r a pound o f tobacco a bottle o f rum and a pinch o f salt. An act was passed in the British House of Commons to assure that any slave that set fo o t on the the area automatically became a free man. It was there­ fore called Freetown.

Freetown has enjoyed a large measure o f self-govern­ ment, its city council was founded in 1893 and has an elected mayor, twelve elected councillors and three nominated councillors. A three-tier system o f local government exists in Freetown. The rest o f Sierra

The Country became independent on A pril 27,1961 and changed over to a republican form o f government in in 1971 w ith a parliament that elects its own Executive tive President. The people elect Parliament and Par­ liament elects its own leader who becomes a pre­ sident and can only serve two terms o f office. We feel that a country that is developing cannot afford the luxury o f having talents that can be used fo r the benefit of the country being wasted sitting on the Opposition side trying to bring down a government.

There are two main seasons, the wet (May — November) and dry (December — A pril). The annual rainfall is about 150 inches with some areas having about 300 inches. The mineral deposits are diamonds, iron ore rutile and ilmenite, chromite, bauxite and gold. There are great deposits o f diamond and they play a signifi­ cant role in the economy. Rice and palm oil form the main staple food w ith a wide variety o f meat fo r pro­ tein. Fish is always in large quantity in the coastal areas areas and beef or chicken in the hinterland. The major exports are Gringa, palm oil, cocoa, palm kernel fish, diamonds, gold, iron ore, bauxite etc.

The educational system is the same as that o f the British British. Kindergarten — primary — secondary, sixth form and then University if successful in the school certificate. With a population o f only 2.75 m illion, the government is spending over six m illion dollars annually on education alone. However, there is a wide degree o f illiteracy and the need to develop this aspect o f the country cannot be overemphasized.

There are about Twenty ethnic groups o f which the most dominant are the Mende in the South, Temne in the North and Creole in the Capital territory.

Leone is divided administratively into (i) The Northern Province o f which Makeni is the headquarter (ii) Southern Province, Bo being the headquarter (iii) Eastern Province, with Kenema being the head­ quarter and these are in turn sub-divided into districts with administrative officers being responsible to the Provincial Secretary, who respectively are under the Permanent Secretary o f Ministry o f Interior.

Australian Culture If, as John Douglas Pringle suggests in Australian Accent, his classic evaluation o f Australian society as he saw it in 1958, "true culture is the product of a deep and intimate relationship between a people and the soil where they have lived fo r centuries", the only people w ith a claim to an indigenous Australian cul­ ture heritage are the aboriginals. White Australians simply have not been here long enough. If we haven't achieved, as yet, a true culture in Pringle's terms, what have we managed to develop in the somewhat less than two hundred years in which this country has been open fo r settlement?

What ever it is, it is clearly an amalgam o f some of the best and worst features of other cultures, interwoven w ith standards that could only have been the product of purely Australian attitudes, values, customs and climate. The initial major cultural transference came by way of convicts, soldiers, settlers and remittance men, from the British Isles and later settlers from Europe, reinforces during and after World War II by a further infusion into our society of people from these countries. Scarcely one of us could have escap­ ed, in our youth, acquiring at least a passing acquain­ tance w ith English and European literature and if we were fortunate in our school or our home, a wider knowledge of the music and general artistic culture of that part of the world. But Australia has been open to influence from across the Pacific Ocean also and on to the Western-Europe heritage has been grafted those elements of the culture o f the United States of America which appear to be the most readily exportable: the world of plastic, chrome, Coca-Cola and Andy Warhol, of the pop culture generally, which itself is only a lesser part of the rich and varied American cultural experience.

to inhibit our development of an indigenous culture.

More than eighty percent o f Australia's population lives on its coastal fringe usually w ithin easy reach of beach or river, and in a climate which, even in the temperate zone, gives long hours of heat and sunlight fo r much of the year; Hence the emphasis in this country on the great outdoors and sport and physical activity, (even if, more and more we are becoming a nation of spectators rather than participators) rather than on the development of the senses and of more intellectual pursuits and recreation. Who would want to wander around an art gallery on a hot, summer afternoon in Australia when they could so much more readily be acquiring a suntan or skin cancer on the

The truly indigenous parts of this composite Austra­ lian culture spring to a large extent from the egalita­ rian pretensions of our society whcih, initially, set its face against the creation o f elites of the educated and the cultured, though in time it came to accept the notion of an elite of wealth, provided that it had been self-made. Jack was to be as good as his master and "the rich and educated" were to "be educated dow n".

A noble ambition to create a new society, free from the class-ridden cant and divisions of the old world, but one, unfortunately, in cultural matters, which tended to force all Australians down to the level of the lowest common denominator — of beer, birds and footie (or the racing guide) and to turn the artistically talented and the intellectuals into unwilling expatriates from their land.

Climate and geography generally have done much also

beach or at the race track?The great distance which separates all the sizeable urban settlements and the smallness o f our total population have made it more difficult than usual to sustain cultural outlets such as opera, ballet and theatre companies, on a full-tim e basis, to bring their efforts before all the people and to provide both training ground and forum for artists themselves. Australia's physical isolation from the rest of the world has also been a culturally inhibiting factor though this barrier is now being broken down.

Our class-less society, at least in terms o f education and culture has also produced some curious anomalies which must seem strange to foreign visitors. There is no clearly defined or observable class or strata of cui tured and educated persons in Australia. It is not rare to find men and women in working class occupations and with little formal education who are capable of sustaining conversation at a fairly high intellectual level and on a wide range of subjects; by the same token, many of the graduates of Australian universi­ ties and tertiary level colleges could hardly be called educated in the proper sense, and pass their time in a cultural vacuum. As in all countries of considerable physical size, there are also observable rural/urban cultural differences in Australia. As President-elect Carter's tastes fo r square dancing and stock-car racing are expressive of part of a rural culture in the United States of America which is dissimilar to that to be found in Washington, New York or San Francisco, so the rodeos, picnic race meetings and country/western style music identifies the "c o u n try " element in the Australian cultural scene rather than that of Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide.

Not many years ago it was fashionable to talk about the "cultural cringe" of the Australian and interested observers who come and go w rite books about us still seem to agree that the Australian, for all his/her allegedly easy-going approach to life, friendliness and extroversion is at heart insecure and unsure of him/herseIf, wracked w ith a sense of inferiority, particularly when faced w ith people of different cultural back­ grounds. It would be bending the truth to suggest that this is not so, as any who observe the over-loud aggres­ sive behaviour o f some Australians when travelling abroad w ill attest.

But for all that, things have changed, in matters of culture, in Australia. We do have people who, in their own field, are producing work which stands up strong­ ly to international comparison and which, at the same time, is a truly indigenous product. A few example will have to suffice to prove my point: Judith Wright (poet); Patrick White and Thomas Kenneally (Nove­ lists); the plays of David Williamson; the films "Picnic at Hanging R ock" and "Caddie"; the glorious one-man shows of Reg Livermore; the Australian Ballet Com­ pany and the Opera Company and a host of musicians, potters and painters. In a lengthy leader article on Australia last year the prestigious British Journal, The Economist, also made the point that in architecture Australia now leads the w orld.

Appreciation o f and support and encouragement for the continued development of a tru ly Australian cul­ ture, in all its aspects go hand in hand, in my view w ith a consciousness of nationhood. In the past, Australians looking at themselves on the world stage lacked the quiet non-chauvinistic assurance of their own National identity which is so noticeable in people w ith older cultural backgrounds. Our search fo r a national iden­ tity was also the search fo r an indigenous culture.

I believe we have now found both.

To Music Please listen most attentively, my ode at once begins Asaga sad o f poets and musicians and their sins Concentrate (in faith, my friend, I know you you w on’t be bored) To make this poem more interesting all facts have been ignored.

Let’s start with Monteverdi, whose madrigals were crude These ditties in translation offend any decent prude T’was he who started opera, the bad Italian lad The problem was that after him, composers all went mad: Gluck wanted vibrato so men sang castrato (What price one’s desire if one octave higher?)

And it sounded exotic, though hardly erotic And since they don’t breed, each year Dads agreed That their bundle o f joy should remain as a boy One pope ordered halt to this - magnificent tiding But art was still served by a “ mishap while riding.”

While singers were sterile, I ought to remark That composers were far from — consider Old Bach He had twenty children from two different spouses Y ou’d wonder if Leipzig contained enough houses And don’t light a candle for George Frederick Handel Although he avoided all traces o f scandal A fter all he and Bach were two o f a kind They departed this life almost totally blind.

I feel sorry for Mozart, for when he was late His wife Constance (nee Weber) sometimes didn’t wait While he was away the games that she’d play Would make him reproach her by mail each day.

Lorenzo da Ponte wrote Mozart’s librettos He died in New York not far from the ghettos Unbelievably staealthy and at times even wealthy He out-donned Giovanni and yet remained healthy.

Next came Beethoven whose eye went a rovin' His loves and his music were quite interwoven One day he discovered the “ distant beloved” By the tone o f his letters he never recovered.

Schurbert wrote notes to the Maid o f the Mill And died in his prime far from over the hill T ’was the end o f an age — then followed rampage Classic turned romantic and the women were frantic First there was Liszt (what a great pianist) Women came running if he banged his fist Don’t count the countesses — it really distresses He liked everything (Scotsmen excepted) in dresses.

Schumann, however, was a virtuous lad He and Clara were happy until he went mad and jumped in the river getting thoroughly soaked In a mad house soon after poor cracked Robert croaked Clara, poor girl, she never rewed And Brahms let our Clara go quite to his head Brahm’s insisting and Clara’s resisting led to his ‘sturn and drang’ Which sounded much colder than Wagner’s Isolde who died not with a whimper but a bang.

Wagner... strange creature, one day he met Neitzsche After that all his operas had one common feature If you know what it is my friend, understand That you can’t tell the censor, or he’ll have it banned.

If my discourse continues I ’ll only offend And so, dear listener, I ’ll call this the end But I really must finish my tragic narration With advise that I offer w ithout invitation If ever you try to lead ladies to bed Remember they did it and they are all dead.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITTEE REPORT The Enivronmental Committee has this year been in- volved in two projects. In the earlier part of this year it was involved in the task of reviewing the proposed "University of Queensland Landscape Master Plan".

After meetings with Mr. J.E. Ritchie, Deputy ViceChancellor (Fabric and Finance), Mr. J. MacCormick (University Architect) and Mr. B. Martin (President of International House Board of Governors) a submission was made by the Environmental Committee to the Buildings and Grounds Committee. This expressed concern at the inadequate consideration given to the accessibility requirements, both pedestrian and ve­ hicular, of this college. We also opposed the proxi­ mity of the proposed building extensions (th Vet­ erinary School and the proposed maintenance com­ plex) because of the effect it would have on college as an "environment"amenable to study; notably from increased noise, a decrease in privacy for residents and deleterious changes in light penetration and ventilation.

In the latter part of this year interest was centered on improving the college grounds. To this end the Com­ mittee met various people to determine which plants would be best suited to the area, bearing in mind its unusual characteristics with respect to shade, expo­ sure to wind abd the moisture levels of the soil. Dr. Trevor Clifford (Botany Department) and Mr. D. Lo vett (gardening Section) were most helpful in this re­ spect. Mr. Frank Moss (College Architect) and Mr. Bert Martin have also advised us as to the likely con­ straints placed on planting by drainage pipes and ser­ vice vehicle access.

Various submissions have already met with approval from the Board of Governors and will be implement­ ed by the end of the year. These include the cessa­ tion of parking between G and D towers in associa­ tion with a revised parking plan and the establish­ ment of garden beds between the towers. A land­ scape plan for the college is expected to be drawn up soon and implementation of this plan will occur progressively.

Over the past three years the students of this college have shown an increasing interest in their environs.

This will undoubtedly continue and can only auger well for the future of this college and its aims. would like to extend my thanks to all those who have participated in this committee and who have given freely of their time and advise during the year.

DEBATING REPORT

International House saw their only win in I.C.C. Competition come from the intellectual and not the physical sports; gladiators o f the spoken word whose weapons are cutting phrases and quick retorts, fighting amongst open-mouthed crowds, trying desperately to please, and stop the audience from falling into the clutches of sleep — the DEBATORS. Three o f our own knights of Rhetoric Simon Couper, A rthur Williams and Russell Murray received the distinction of being selected in the five-man I.C.C. Debating Team fo r their courage, valour and genius at stupidity.

Captain ; Russell Murray Convenor ; Arthur Williams

The competition was hard and fast — well some of the time anyway — as the fle xib ility of Oregon style debating allowed a diverse selection of topics such as: — "That a Bird in the Hand is Worth Two in the Bush" w ith all its inferences and connotations, to 'T h a t we waste our time in argument" which was very often the case.

The main difference of Oregon debating as compared to Oxford style, is that the audience are supposed to become involved — in fact a proportion of marks are allocated for audience involvement. It was very hard to whip our I.H. supporters into a frenzy of excitement because very often there weren't any. However we managed to coax a few willing souls along who found the affair very entertaining.

Debating ran quite smoothly this year as one would expect, being in I.H's capable hands. My thanks to all the supporters, adjudicators and also Barry Hughes, and Crowther and David McGuinness who gave their tim ely support whwn we were in a tight position. Generally it has been a successful year for the team and the individuals, as the therapeutic effects of constructively releasing our inhibitions has saved the plight of many a poor innocent and innumerable psychiatric bills.

The idea of 'Spunk and Spoof’ was regarded with horror and indignation by some college members. Fortunately this was overcome by many people-collegians and out­ side friends - appearing in various 'garb’ which made the night a success.

The formal, after much worry and preparation, proved to be a most enjoyable night. The alchohol and food consumption were typically high with many eager boppers squeezing on to the dance floor to bop away the hours.

The Social Convenors hope that everyone attending functions this year managed to enjoy themselves as this makes the planning and organizing so w orth­ while. Special thanks are due to all those who lent a helping hand at any o f the functions this year.

Car Rally ‘76.

A motley array o f machinery left the grid outside E tower at three minute intervals beginning at 8.30 a.m. one Sunday morning sometime in first semester. Altogether there were some th irty cars Including the ex-collegiate “ ring-ins” whose patron­ age o f the event was greatly appreciated. The most d ifficu lt leg was probably the d irt road at the back of “ Bellbowrie” but everyone came through un­ injured (even Larry and Carol in the red mini differential and all.)

Coups and Co. were a b it late into the Fernvale Hotel but hadn’t lost their wits and identified the ancient toilet set-up as a thunderbox. That was a masterpiece o f intuition! The local Publican had a boost to business in what is apparently a typical country town — yet only twenty miles from the city. Chrispy and Bung managed checkpoint in their usual fashion.

The next few twists along the road took us to a pleasant spot beside a babbling brook.

The last lists o f questions were distributed and the home run began - back to I.H. In contrast to P.H.’s speed we had more disdainful drives — Chook Norris, John Hawgood?

The final tally o f points gave first prize to the trio of Maree Sverdloff, Warren Todd and Bill Gilmore.

I.C.C PRESIDENT'S REPORT

1976

The concept of college life is a noble one which we all should know about by now. Ensuring that ade­ quate opportunities exist fo r the social and liberal education fo r all those residing in colleges is a role usually fu lfille d by the Students' Clubs. Vet there still remains a rather nationalistic outlook in the po­ licies o f many students' clubs. Just as nationalist governments adopt totally self-interested policies in international affairs, so do students' clubs, to vary­ ing degrees, in inter-college matters. Unless the col­ lege leaders can see beyond the narrow interests of their own college, then the I.C.C. has no hope of gathering momentum and fu lfillin g its aims. In­ stead, it w ill become simply a body concerned on­ ly w ith the organisation of intercollege sport.

But at least 1976 has been a successful year. It leaves behind many memories — memories o f the work invoved in organising the I .C.C. activities of the cheerful help received from many colleges in the running of the I.C.C. activities, o f the revival of the I .C.C. Chron icle, of the successful N.A.A.U.C. Conference, o f the heartw arm ­ ing and sincere hospitalities extended to me by many colleges, and of the I.C.C. Ball. The most d iffic u lt task in the preparation of this report has been to find ade­ quate expression o f gratitude to all those not only from International House, but also from all other colleges who have so generously given their time and support to the I.C.C. But special mention must be made o f Inter­

Even though the I.C.C. has received wholehearted support from the colleges this year, there is still much to be desired in intercollege relationships outside thel,C .C . activities. This can be compared w ith the United Nations. Many countries in the world today support the United Nations, but what of the international realtionships between these member nations outside the framework. Would not the United Nations be a more worthwhile and stronger body if there was a vast improvement in international relationships between all member nations?Wouldn't the I.C.C. in relation to intercollege relationship benefit also if such aspirations were carried out.

Thus one of the tasks, as I saw it was to establish a firm er foundation from which the I.C.C. can gain its much needed momentum. This task unfortunately remains incomplete. Although the I.C.C. has final­ ly become fu lly affiliated w ith the Students' Union through the Clubs and Societies Committee and was giver a small boost with the aid o f a generous grant, the I.C.C. still has to establish concrete re­ lationships w ith the Sports Association. However, it is interesting to note that the incoming President of the Sports Association, during his election camp­ aign, has promised support fo r the I.C.C. The out­ come w ill be determined at the Annual General Meeting of the Sports Association (to be held next Monday, 25th October). For this to succeed, mas­ sive representatives from the colleges w ill be need­ ed at the meeting to support the all important constitutional amendments designed to allow full affiliation of the I.C.C. w ith the Sports Association.

In the meantime, the Heads of Colleges have supported our suggestion of inviting a representative o f the I.C.C. to attend their meetings. So I have sincere hope that much can be gained from these meetings in the sense that the I.C.C. would become more intimately aware of the common problems confronting the colleges and hence should become more efficient in its attempts to resolve such problems.

While the intercollege relationship has been good this year, there still exists some animosity between the col­ leges w ith many preferring to have different types of relationships w ith other different colleges.

national House Student's Club - under the leadership of John Hawgood — which had to sacrifice so much of its own limited resources to help ensure the success o f the I.C.C. at the expense o f some of its own activi­ ties.

I wish the incoming executive the very best fo r 1977.

I hope they w ill accept our modest achievements in the trust that they w ill work as hard as we have as there is yet so much more to achieve. Furthermore, I hope that the incoming executive w ill be given as much sup­ port not only from their own colleges but also from other colleges as we were given.

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE - INTERCOLLEGE HOST FOR 1976 "The aims o f the Inter-College Council are to foster a sense o f unity among the colleges, to promote col­ lege contribution to the University and the communi­ ty, to p rint, publish and circulate the I.C.C. News­ letter and to aid in the organisation o f intercollege cultural, social and sporting activities. " This year, the dubious pleasure of hosting the I.C.C. fell upon International House. As the host college customarily fills the executive positions, it was decided by our Students' Club last year to have an I.C.C. executive separate from that of the Students' Club so that the Students' Club would not be bogged down w ith the additional responsibility of running the I.C.C. over and above its own responsibilities as had happened with some colleges in previous years.

The major task involved in the running of the I.C.C. is the organisation of the I .C.C. sports. This was capably carried out by Simon Couper in the beginning of first semester, but unfortunately had to resign owing to a heavy workload. Thus the task fell upon George Perry, w ith some help from Alex Ng, to organise the I.C.C. Sports for the remainder of the year until Simon Couper rejoined the executive to assist in the winding up of the I .C.C. Sports. The I.C.C. Chronicle was reviewed by the jo in t efforts of Jenny Castles and George Perry in the firs t semester, but unfortu­ nately in the second semester, it lapsed following the resignation of Jenny Castles as the Vice-President and the lack of support from members of other colleges. The I.C.C. Ball, attended by 460 people, was one of the largest yet held by the I .C.C. and was a success — thanks to the jo in t efforts of Jimmy Chiu and George Perry. The I.C.C. finances, capably looked after by Swee Toh ended up stronger than ever before — from a meagre $57,99 to over $800.00.

SPORTS CONVENOR’S REPORT This year has been fairly disappointing fo r I.H. w ith regards to its sporting performances. It wasn't until the very last night o f competition that we finally won a sport. Everyone's congratu­ lations should go to the victorious Debating team of A rthur Williams, Russell Murray and Simon Couper who certainly deserved the cup. Earlier in the year we had seen fine performances from the men's Squash team which came a very Creditable second and the women's Basketball team which came third and towards the end from our Men's Athletics team which also came third. Robert Mortimore deserves special mention for gaining selection into two I.C.C. teams, G olf and Squash.

In general, unfortunately, there was a lack of enthusiasm and interest. No where was this more apparent than in the women's sports, netball and volleyball being the prime examples. This small level of participation is shown clearly in the number o f Blues awarded this year, only a third of those being awarded to women. A more important consequence of this lack o f interest, than our poor performances was the fa ct that the workload of competing and organising fell on a few shoulders. My sincere thanks go to Jenny Castles and Holly Frail to name but tw o.

Despite the general lack of interest we were still able to provide a large number o f I.C.C. repre­ sentatives this year, in fact in the Men's com­ petition we had 18 people gaining representations, w ith only Kings (19) and John's (22) having more than we did. Such a fine achievement (particularly when we came last overall) shows that we have the talent and we only need the rest of I.H. to show some college spirit and support to make 1977 a very successful year.

ATHLETICS Convenor : Tom Creevey International House were hosts fo r this years Cross Country (October 2nd) and Track and Field (October 9th) meets. Both these were run smoothly despite early worries. A number of collegians helped in the organization, not the least of these being the athletes themselves, who not only competed, but spent some hours assisting in the planning.

Javelin Triple Jump Long Jump High Jump

International House performed creditably in mens competition and bravely fo r those few involved in the womens. We tied on points w ith Johns in the mens Cross Country, but finished second on the countback. On the track the men finished w ith an equal third. There were no women in the Cross Country this year, a state of affairs which disappointed all I.H. supporters who saw the race. One had a Battle of Britain feeling on seeing the few defend I.H's name at the womens track events. Their seventh placing in the teams could hardly compensate fo r their efforts. As far as individuals were concerned, Chris Blenkins second placing earned him a place in the Cross Country team, and Andrew Wakefields slashing 110 hurdles win and Chris Aulds creditable 400 metre victory were high spots in a track carnival, enjoyed by all the I.H. people present.

None of those present could forget Joe in the Triple Jump, scraping into the pit; Eddie Seabrook's "o ffic ia l" style and his partner in the field; Leighton Cochran's discus; Sue Harrison racing vainly from the Javelin to make the field in the 400 metres; or Wes Wong's relay e ffo rt — that is, except perhaps Joe, Eddie, Leighton, Sue and Wes. A note of sadness — I.H's only record on the books, the womens 4 x 100 metre relay, was broken during a carnival which saw a further six records go.

However, our dreams of early victories dissolved rapidly, in the fact of successive defeats. Despite the gloom, 'Chook' Norris stood out w ith a scintillating knock of 33 against St. Johns. Later on in the season Bob Greenhill emerged as a punishing middleorder batsman.

Though post-mortems are better reserved for bridge tables, a few comments on our performances are perhaps called fo r. Individually a number of players shone. However we failed to get it together. Perhaps over-confidence, and a lack of application were our major downfalls. Rain, too, did much to blunt our razor sharp enthusiasm.

Solid opening stands were missing this season.

Belly's luck went from bad to worse, and it was not until late in the season that 'M allet' Murray recovered free-scoring form and broke up opening attacks w ith his unorthodox play. 'Shaps' too came good towards the end of the season.

His elegant best was produced in a dashing partnership of 69 in 93 minutes with captain 'Sam' Hawgood, against the hapless Cromwell attack.

Special mention must go to 'Cherub' Gilson our wicket-keeper. In addition to his physical and vocal agility behind the stumps, he developed a disturbing habit of helping tired batsmen back to the pavilion. Don Nissan, was the one on two occasions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; needless to say, his run scoring potential was severely reduced. However, he bowled with rigour and effort.

Twiggy, the team veteran was an inspiration with his gazelle like grace in the covers. Meanwhile, vice-captain Dave Butler harassed many opening batsmen with his ferocious opening spells.

And finally, we come to Coups, our incorrigible slogger and tireless team man.

All these players combined to make it a very enjoyable season. Special congratulations go to 'Chook' Norris and Bob Greenhill for their selection in the I.C.C. team.

Convenor : Chris Blenkin Rowing occupied the first six weeks of first semester. This year we fielded several crews, there being 2 mens and 3 womens. Shortage of coxwains was to disadvantage training fo r the newer crews.

Also the training hours were quite inhuman but were mild compared w ith some sessions only being available as early as 5.00 a.m. Needless to say we opted to let the sun rise by itself and generally our first rowers were on the river by 6.00 a.m. or perhaps a little later. The members o f the crews were: MEN FIRST f o u r Warren Todd Leighton Cochrane Andrew Wakefield Chris Blenkin COX: Jimmy Chiu K A N Y a N A 1976

TH IR D FOUR Helen Uebergang Holly Frail Pru Davis V icki Cossins COX: Philip Blenkin The details o f competition are these: Ladies First ...

First womens four had a few steering difficulties initially but by the time of the I.C.C. regatta they held a good course and amazed the crowd on the riverbank w ith their high morale in singing "R ow , row, row your boat" as they tailed the field in. Second four did quite well fo r a novice crew. None had rowed a shell before. Anne Rigby just did not believe that the rowing position required you to sit so that you could see where you were coming from , not where you are going to. Third fo ur had a successful season w ith a final placing of second at the I.C.C. Must learn to turn up at the start in time fo r the race though.

Mens first four did a progressive slide, which is to say that we came 2nd at our first start then 3rd, 4th and 5th place. Potentially a good crew but training under the Todd system of rowing fitness has not proved as successful as it did fo r us last year. Second four started favourites at the I.C.C. regatta following tw o convincing wins in the leadups. On the day they finished 4th from a d iffic u lt lane and were not a long way from the winning crew.

Finally I thank all the individuals who helped in running the I.C.C. regatta and making it such a successful carnival.

RUGBY LEAGUE Captain : Simon Couper Convenor : Allistar Twigg This year as International House had lost many of our Rugby League stalwarts we decided to rely largely on inspiration.

As Leo's was obviously the college to watch, we looked to them fo r inspiration. Our spies saw that they did a lot of running and a lot of drinking.

Adapting their method to our own inimitable style, we discarded the outmoded running, kicking, tackling, passing aspects of training and got down to the serious business of drinking.

As the games were played on Sunday mornings (i.e. after Saturday night) drinking may not have left us fit,.b u t at least we were anaesthetized.

Generally our near perfect play only lacked a few factors, these being fitness, team co-ordination, and individual skill.

A resume of the games leads somewhat like the latter half of the "Rise and Fall of the Romani Empire". In depth the games went as follow s:— I.H. vs Cromwell I.H. vs Kings

lost 8-3 Rob Greenhill scored. lost 24-5 Ross Hetherington scored and Paul Norris converted.

I.H. vs Leos lost 28-5 John Hawgood — try , Paul Norris converted.

I.H. vs St Johns I.H. down 14-2 at half time played like men possessed to come back to be down 19-5 and pushing the line in the final minutes. For once in the season everything clicked, everyone fired and I.H. looked like a football team.

Ross Hetherington, Rob Greenhill, and John Hawgood, our try scoring specialists each scored again and Paul Norris kicked three goals. Following this result I.H. held high hopes fo r the next game against Emmanuel.

I.H. vs Emmanuel

lost 31-5 John Hawgood try, Paul Norris a penalty.

A game best forgotten.

I.H. vs Union.

Our line was not crossed in this game, as we forfeited to Union.

A list of our players is similar to the "Who's Who?" of Rugby League. It is in fact a "Who's Who?" of Rugby League. Our stars, not necessarily in order of appearance were Simon Couper, Allistar Twigg, Ross "Roscoe" Hetherington, David "Teeth" McGuinness, Bob "Greenhound" Greenhill, Jeff "Eagle Eyes" Crowther, Ashley "Greased Lightning" James, John "Stepper" Hawgood , Andrew "Sleepy" Wakefield, Barry "Nosejob" Schmidt, Alex "A rtie " Ng, Richard Skeets" Seeto, David "A .A ." Mewing, V ictor "W ar-cry" Hoog A n tin k, Russell "Piledriver"

Page 30

Murray, Louis "L u ig i" Sudamarna, Malcolm "Basher" Snow, Stan "Slammer" Saw, Paul "Ç hook" Norris, Bruce "Chrispie" Christie, and Don "G oovigin" Nissen. Congratulations must go to our sole I.C.C. representative, John Hawgood.

My only regret fo r the season (apart from winning no games) is that this mass of potential could not be welded into a well-oiled machine, by our three tough training sessions. Finally thank you very much to our very few spectators who arose on Sunday morning to view the debacles, er — games.

Captain : Halim Razi Convenor : Mahir bin Abdullah There was plenty of enthusiasm shown at the start of the season which unfortunately did not last, partly due to the haphazard nature of the competition schedule. We started o ff w ith a fine win against St Leo's, the score being 5-0.

The following match against Cromwell was a controversial one. Initially awarded a win by forfeit we had to play them after a ruling by the I.C.C. Council and we lost 0-3, following a win over Emmanuel 2-1 in the morning of the same day. The next 3 games were played during the 2nd semester. We lost to Union 3-5, drew with Kings, the eventual winners, of the com­ petition, 2-2, and lost to St John's in a hard tussle by 0-1. Overall we came 5th place in the competition.

Dave McGuinness played goal keeper earlier on in the season, but Jaafar Ismail took over in the later stages. Razi was solid in defence and Shafeegu provided valuable support. Barry Schmidt played well in the centre and was unlucky not to be selected in the I.C.C. team.

Salah Shihab gave the forwards plenty o f support with Joe Inoke and at times Swee Toh also giving valuable help. Steve Yelland was our star right winger combining well w ith Nor Hashim, who scored most of our goals. Russell Murray, Dave Mewing, Graeme Baguley and Mahir Abdullah were the other hard working forwards.

I would like to take this opportunity in thanking Mr Jeff Clyde fo r sacrificing his time and giving the team much needed coashing and support.

Also our congratulations to Halim Razi and Nor Hashim fo r being selected into the I.C.C. team. Looking forward to a better year, Thank-you.

Convenor : Stephen Emms This year International House presented a most motley group of players for the mens tennis competition. With eight players contributing to the final result, our team never consisted of the same four players more than once.

With two wins to our credit, against Kings and Cromwell, we were drawn on matches w ith Kings and Union being placed equal fifth w ith Kings after a countback on sets.

I would like to thank the entire team fo r their willingness to drag themselves out of bed at 7.30 ln the morning to play tennis; or should I say their acceptance of the inevitable? This was Particularly evident on the morning after the college formal — with a resultant win against

Cromwell. Thanks once again to Barry Schmidt, who gained I.C.C. representation, Bob Mortimore, Shapoor Battliwalla, Stephen Emms, Bob Greenhill, Sam Wallade, Bruce Anning and Salah Shi lab for their participation and "enthusiasm" in this years competition.

Stephen Emms WOMENS TENNIS Although not taking the I.C.C. competition by storm, the womens tennis team must be congrat­ ulated on dragging themselves out of bed so "enthusiastically" at 7.30 every Saturday morning (well — for 3 out o f 7 games anyway). The team consisting of Margie Bryant, Mascha Van Leer, Susie Burns and Holly Frail — although not having much success, did show marked improvement as the competition progressed. We liked to think we had hidden potential — in fact it has been said that w ith a few years intensive training we might even manage to win a game or two. Nevertheless, we always had the good excuse that our lack of co-ordination and accuracy was due to the suffering of after-effects o f the hard night before (such as the college formal and various other functions).

But anyway, once we made it down to the courts V4 an hour late and took another 'h hour to wake up and realize where we were and what we were supposed to be doing, we really did enjoy the bit of exercise (perhaps not as much as the thought of getting it over and done w ith and getting back to bed). Finally we hope next years team enjoys a little more success and perhaps the organizers w ill have the decency to start the games at a civilized hour (like after lunch maybe).

SWIMMING Captain : Malcolm Snow Convenors: Alice Van Altena &

Jenny Castles

On the 26th March, International House success足 fu lly competed in the I.C.C. swimming carnival, gaining a third in the women's competition and a fifth in the men's competition. Success fo r I.H. was by no means confined to the water, but also to the efficient manner in which College members organized and controlled the carnival. For the many people who freely gave their time to assist in this respect and in particular, George Perry, Alice Van Altena and Jenny Castles, the swimming team, on behalf o f the college, records its gratitude.

In almost perfect swimming conditions, the I.H. team, although not endowed with the Olympians of some colleges, was able to gain some creditable placings.

rv

s '

For the womens team. Holly Frail, Debbie Bull, Sue Harrison, Gail Winning, Nelle Van Burren, Swee Toh, Greg Gilson and Michael Bell were the star performers! For the mens team Louis Sudarmana and Jeffrey Crowther should have gained double points for trying, while consistent performances came from Stephen Emms, Chris Auld, Malcolm Snow and David Sudarmana.

The I.H. relay teams should be congratulated as they were able to win some valuable points in their events to put us slightly ahead. A t the last minute the college was able to enter the novelty Boat Race w ith what appeared to be a "Bean Bag"! Skipper Barry Hughes was very unlucky to suffer an early holing, but unfortunately there were no reported drownings!

Once again many thanks to all those who participated in some way to make the carnival a trium ph fo r International House.

Malcolm Snow WATER POLO Captain : Robert Mortimore Convenor : Charlie Kratzer Although the water polo team tried valiantly to achieve success, the luck did not seem to go our way, the horses that we purchased for the games were of little value due to the fact that the playing field was under six feet o f water at the time. As we were not expecting to take part in any extreme physical exertion we were defeated 6 goals to 1 by a much fitte r Cromwell team who obviously knew it was going to rain the previous night. Next year we intend to apply fo r a canopy to be placed over the playing field.

SOCCER WOMENS BASKETBALL

Captain/ Convenor : Holly Frail

Captain : Halim Razi Convenor : Terence Chan

The I.H. womens basketball '.bruisers" hacked their way through the I.C.C. competition and despite many snide comments about our being more suitable as a football team we managed to make third place (tying w ith Womens, and Cromwell). There was plenty o f brawn present but a sad lack of numbers, and the amount of talent found in these two top teams, Grace (1st) and Emmanuel (2nd) overwhelmed us. Many of our games proved to be quite action packed and we appreciated the loud (if not always helpful) support from college members on the sideline.

Our best game was against Cromwell when at full time the score was 34-34 and after 5 minutes extra I.H. came out winners 51-37. The whole team played exceptionally well w ith Sue Harrison scoring 20 points and Holly Frail 25. The com­ petition resulted in 4 wins and 3 losses — the other victories being against Union, Duchesne and M ilton House. Sue Harrison and Holly Frail were amongst the top 4 scorers fo r the whole competition using their height (and weight?) to the fullest advantage. Holly was also picked in the I.C.C. team. Nelle van Burren and 'Geòrgie' Sverdloff also played strongly particularly in defence along with the other team members, Ruth Best, Gail Winning and Debbie Bull, w ithout whom we could not have competed.

Thank you to all those people who made appear­ ances on the court — and especially to our most able coach Rasma Lee. A ll in all we did provide a rather different kind of Sunday night entertainment.

Holly Frail

The season began w ith a win of 5-0 over John's, in which Terry Chan scored 4 goals and Steve Yelland a 20 yarder. We then defeated Emmanuel 4-0, Satish finally scoring a well-deserved goal.

Leo's then forfeited to us. Unfortunately that marked the end of our winning streak.

We then lost to Kings, who scored 3 "quickies" against us in the first half. The team spirit and co-ordination o f I.H. showed in the second half when we came back to score 2 goals, w ith Luis Avalos scoring the second goal in the last 2 minutes. Unfortunately fo r us it wasn't enough to beat Kings. Razi played a hero's role in the back, well supported by 'Chrispy' in the mid-field.

Our second loss was 0-1 to Cromwell. This game had the premiership in the balance, and our loss gave it away to Cromwell. The lead up to, and the actual game itself, showed the enthusiasm of the players. Terry Chan combined well w ith Satish in their untiring efforts to break the strong Cromwell defence. Every player and reserve turned up to all the practices. This was a pleasure to see. Everyone played no less than a brilliant game and this match perhaps showed the overall standard of the team. Steve Emms at the goal­ mouth pulled o ff a few great saves. Joe Inoke and Chrispy were our best players. Joe, .who did not make a, single mistake during the game, was well supported by Jaffar, who played another hard outstanding game, together w ith Simon Couper who is developing into another well composed player. The mid-field was led by our tackling machine Chrispy, who stopped anything on two legs and not wearing an I.H. jersey.

Russell Murray, another future star, together with Luis Avalos, lent superb support to Chrispy.

Steve Yelland showed his speed on the left wing, and Jimmy Chiu on the right wing read the game well. Satish gave the fron t line some good set-ups, but unfortunately fo r us, we just couldn't score.

Louis Sudarmana replaced Chrispy in the second half, and fo r his size played a solid game. Crom­ well scored their goal in the last minute of the game. The last game against Union was called a draw when time ran out at the end o f the competition.

Dave McGuinness and Mark Mathieson must be thanked fo r their role as reserves and fo r their great enthusiasm fo r the college team as a whole.

Thanks also goes to George Perry for helping out in the refereeing department. Our "Prominent Supporters" awards to to Peter Gibson, Swee Toh and George Perry.

WOMENS SQUASH Captain : Vicki Cossins Convenor : Helen Uebergang

MENS SQUASH Convenor : Tony Hickey

It is indeed a humble hand that accepts the task of trying to capture in a few short words, the enthusiasm, energy and excitement generated by the Mens Squash Team, as they defied the elements (and a lot of good players) to project the I.H . image onto the I.C.C. squash scene.

It became apparent-after scintillating victories in the early rounds that the 'boys' (as we affect­ ionately knew them) were to be looked on as the major contenders for the squash crown.

The effect of their successes on college life was devastating.

Conversations were conspicuous for their accla­ mations of the talents of these athletes. The romantic ideals of all the fine young college maidens (yes, BOTH of them) were stirred to frenzy point by the on-court efforts of these four sporting giants. In the middle of this explosion of sporting prestige we had in alphabetical order:— Bob 'the Destroyer' Mortimore, Barry 'Rocky Horror' Schmidt, Allistair Tw iggy' Twigg, and Tony 'sharp' Hickey.

The statistics have already been computed.

Undefeated in every match except the final 'bigone' these gorgeous gladiators, who liked to dress in white, bowed to a better side (like hell!) and vanished from the sporting scene as myster­ iously as they had come.

But for many a night to come, stories of their feats will be recounted throughout the towers of I.H. as it is recalled how Bob dominated play with his low, hard drives, and well timed kicks, how Twiggy controlled the game with the accumulated wisdom of his many years, how Barry made squash look nearly as easy as tennis (although he found early difficulty in adjusting the red wall line to the correct tennis height), and how Tony's deft wielding of the racquet, great footwork and incredible good looks left audiences aghast.

But here I must stop, though I have conjured enough images of those wild days, and that past glory to delight my mind for ages.

This is not a myth.

In fact it is the end.

Tony Hickey

On the first Thursday night of competition four energetic and keen I.H. players arrived at the squash courts — only to leave 15 minutes later, defeated by Emmanuel. As the weeks of practise/ competition rolled by, the length of the games increased, with a few minor victories. We defeated Milton House (on a forfeit), so came seventh overall..Emmanuel eventually won, after very strong competition from Union.

On the whole the girls enjoyed their ''bit'' of exercise and meeting of new people. Hopefully next year will bring with it a few female squash stars, to improve the opinions of other colleges on the I.H . womens "squashing" ability. Star??? "squashers were: Vicki Cossins, Helen Uebergang, Alice van Altena, Gail Winning, Sue Harrison, Beverley Angus and Janice Dickinson.

MENS VO LLEYBALL

Captain : Allistair Twigg Convenor : David McGuinness

This year mens volleyball was initiated as an unofficial I.C.C. sport. International House started with a rousing spate of enthusiastic training runs and snow-balled their way into the competition with two devastating victories against Union and Emmanuel. Then something happened. We started to lose much to our over-confident surprise. And so we went on with a few losses and a few wins and finished with a happy team who know a great deal more about the game. We hope that Volleyball will be official I.C.C. next year and the potential within I.H. will be realized in a series of easy wins. We've got what it takes!

Those who played for I.H. were: Allistair "Fossil' Twigg, (The "speedy" spiker), Halim Razi (our Star), Louis "Lanky" Sudarmana (star-setter), Masari "The Maniac" bin Alison, (who got everything), Swee Toh, Peter "Suicide Knees" Gibson, Russell "The Real Spiker" Murray, Early loss Nor Hashim, late import, Taveesakdi Soonklang Simon "Sideline" Couper, John "Potential" Hawgood, Dave "Water-boy" McGuinness, and Mitsuru Takahasi.

Due to an unusual lack of Interest in netball, we only fielded a team fo r three out of the seven competition games this year. Those games were against M ilton House, Grace College and Duchesne College. We were unsuccessful in all three.

Many girls played in these games — often on very short notice. Each week the team varied and it would be impossible to list everyone who played, but for their enthusiasm Helen Archibald, Holly Frail and Ruth Best deserve mention.

Quite often the members of the team had had very little experience but they played anyway.

The games were quite fun and more in the spirit than some other sports in which we could consistently field a team.

Convenor : Jenny Castles If the girls in the team played volleyball as well as they gave excuses not to play then we would have all been Olympic standard. Our team of well trained stars decided only to display their talents for three o f the seven games. By our antics on the court anyone watching would have been excused fo r thinking that we were trying to oust the Keystone Cops as funnymen — cum — stuntmen.

Anyway, we kept the spectators and opposing teams as well as ourselves amused and I am sure that those who played enjoyed the games. This is the main thing. To protect the guilty I shall not mention any names and I am sure that the girls who did play w ill not forget the experience in a hurry.

Better luck next year.

Participating w ith enthusiasm, the I.H. Women's Hockey Team won three out of seven games this year. The following scores were obtained: versus Emmanuel, lost 6-0; Union, lost 3-0; Duschesne, won 1-0; Women's won 2-1; Milton House, won 3-0; Cromwell, lost 6-0 and Grace, lost 3-0.

Anneli Isokangas, Anne Rigby and Sue Radford scored our goals.

Our defence fought strongly which was a definite improvement on last year's efforts. Much was gained through practises under the guidance of Lynelle Thelander, Jedda and Halim Razi. We even developed a canny ability to get one and occasionally tw o hits w hilst playing w ith the men!

I would like to mention Alice Van Altena, Robyn McLean, Sally Gebbett, Van Tan and Jenny Castles who backed our goalie, Karnchana, tremendously through promising teamwork. Zenny Cruz, Lan Vo Thi, Janice Dickinson, Sue Harrison and Nelle Van Burren kept the forward line going.

The response to hockey this year was favourable in that we always had a fu ll team, except fo r one occasion. There were no serious casualities apart from the perpetual bruises and bumps.

Our special thanks go to Lynelle Thelander and our referees, Halim and Mahir Abdullah fo r their unfailing interest.

To the team — thank you for your individual performances and super participation.

GOLF Convenor : Rob Mortimore This year, unfortunately. International House did not manage to win the I.C.C. Golf competition.

After the loss of three of last years team members, our team lacked considerable depth.

We did, however, manage to procure the services of three new players — namely Mr Ivor Cribb, Mr Allistair Twigg and last (but not least, with respect to score,) Mr Rob Greenhill. Although enthusiastic, they did not play up to their usual standard.

Rick Harbolovic and one other team member, whose name eludes me at the moment, gained selection in the I.C.C. golf team, in spite of the fact that both players were well below form.

The overall competition was a great success and enhanced immensely by the spectator participation which was encountered throughout the afternoon.

Especially from people such as Master Bruce "Crispy" Christie and Co^ Here, also, special thanks must be given to our faithful caddies who trundled round the course with us.

The I.C.C. team was taken on the top six scores for the 18 holes and we gained a second place through Rob Mortimore and a third from Rick Harbolovic. The team came fourth overall.

I would like to thank those people who helped me organise the afternoons play, especially, as usual, George Perry. /.

In conclusion, on behalf of the Golf Teams I would like to congratulate George on the very efficient way in which I.C.C. was run this year.

MENS BASKETBALL Captain Stan Saw Convenor : Peter Gibson A fter being brilliant second place getters in the 1975 I.C.C. basketball competition, the International House â&#x20AC;&#x153; super dribblers" had high hopes fo r fame, glory and victory in the 1976 competition. The tried and proven team was strengthened by several star imports including Californian jumpshot man, Charlie Kratzer, bearded sky-scraper, Peter Durman, unorthodox Louis Sudarmana, and NSW's answer to Eddie Palubinskas, Ashley James.

Leading the team was our captain and ace dribbler, Stanley Saw, w ith our blonde super-star, Peter Gibson, acting as coach and convenor. In a pre­ season build-up, the team trained enthusiastically fo r several weeks. A large vocal host of supporters encouraged us in the first game of the season against St John's but we went down 41-34, after being only two points behind at half time.

Round 2 saw a new determination in the I.H. team and an overwhelming 56-18 victory against St Leos. Further victories followed w ith a comfortable 46-26 win against last seasons premiers Cromwell, and an easy 43-18 victory against Union, w ith Stanley Saw showing improved shooting form . Unfortunately our sequence of successes was halted by a tall talented Kings team despite a brilliant 24 points by Peter Gibson.

Although down only 25-24 at the break, I.H. wilted under second-half pressure by the eventual premiers to lose 52-38. Our final game against Emmanuel was a let down for the team and despite a 5 point lead at half time, I.H. lost 52-42. Charlie Kratzer shot 18 points before collecting his 5 fouls. Thus w ith 3 wins and 3 losses I.H. finished 4th in the competition.

Peter Gibson w ith 111 points was the 3rd highest scorer in the competition and made the I.C.C. team as did Charlie Kratzer, who scored 49 points and was the most aggressive player in the competition with 20 fouls in 6 games. Robert Mortimore rebounded well, as did Bill Gaynor and Steve Emms, who was a particularly safe player. Others who played were Mahri bin Abdullah, Russel Murray, Graham Dunlop, Alex Ng, a very determined but slightly-out-oftouch Stan Saw and the aforementioned first years.

Convenor : Ashley James Our success at billiards and snooker this year vvas noticeably not as lacking as last year.

In the I.C.C. competition we still came second last though.

Our first game against Leo's saw us lose 3 games to 1. Twiggy, in his only match, was defeated 172-76. Russell Murray was the only successful player — winning his snooker 2 frames to 0.

Peter Gibson put in a good effort, but was soundly defeated by a player destined to become an I.C.C. representative, by 222-146. Our second match was against Emmanuel and again we were defeated 3-1. Louis Sudarmana put in a brilliant effort to win 2 frames to 0 after being behind in both of his matches. Against Union we saw Kevin O'Kelly making his debut in billiards in fine style — his win including a superb break of 37. 'M allett' again was victorious, and Louis drew to give I.H. its only win in the competition fo r the year.

At the hands of John's I.H. once again was defeated. Kevin was unlucky to go down 214-202, and Mallett won 2 frames to 1. Peter Gibson played his best match, but was soundly defeated by 201-158. King’s sunk to our level and allowed us to draw w ith them, Kevin again showed his prowess by notching up another win. Mallett, who was obviously getting the hang o f this sport, won his snooker again in convincing style.

In the last game of the season Cromwell defeated us 3-1. Kevin showed extremely good form , winning 269-102 — well done Kevin. Peter Gibson played a fair game and was unlucky to be defeated 189-150. Simon Couper and Peter Gibson showed improved form during the season, while newcomers Ashley James, David McGuinness and Louis Sudarmana displayed enthusiasm and look like great prospects fo r I.H. in the 1977 competition. Kevin was unlucky not to make the I.C.C. Team, as was Russell Murray — who was favourite for the ill-fated I.H. billiards tournament.

P.S. If college was to acquire a decent table, prospects would look much better fo r I.H. in future years.

ALUMNI SPORTS DAY This year the scope of the Alum ni — I.H. Day organis­ ed by the I.H. Sports Committee and the Alum ni Asso­ ciation, was widened to encompass both sporting and social activities. The event, held on September 11th. also saw an increased number of sports. While the day mainly turned out to be successful for the I.H. sport­ ing teams, all the people associated with it enjoyed themselves. About 25 — 30 ex-collegians turned up for the sporting events, beginning w ith the women's basketball. I.H. won this 28 — 22 and followed it up w ith a win in the men's match also of 36 — 30.

The afternoon's sport began w ith the touch football going to I.H. once again. The women's hockey saw the college's only loss, going down 2 — 0. However the men made ammends by winning 3 — 1. The day's activities culminated in a 1950's dance in the dining room.

As an annual event this day is a tremendous oppor­ tu nity for people to renew old friendships and talk with people who have lived in college before. The only thing that limited its success this year was the low level of participation that the college members showed, but hopefully it w ill continue in its present expanded format and gain popularity as it becomes better known.

VALEDICTEES GEORGE PERRY

TONY GLAZEBROOK With a painful e ffort, he hauled himself through the doorway, hoping against hope that this time he'd avoid reporters. Lunch wasn't always like this, he remember­ ed. Yes, there were more o f us then, he thought — just six months ago. A whole lot more. College was new to us then. And now, as dim memories of this life flashed before him, perhaps fo r the last time — his youth, the laughter and then the post-graduate course. Vaguely re­ membered, the details unclear, wasn't ...a ...a thema­ tic history of the development of scientific ideas in Japan, with special emphasis on comparative approaches to the treatment o f scientific creativity. Yes, something like that. And now, it all very close to finished. A ll and everything. Weakly he dragged his body towards C tower, feeling none of the kicks and insults. Life here, despite everything is good he thought.

George came into I.H. in 1973 from the 'bush' and this year graduated in veterinary science. His contributions to college include terms as shop manager in 1974, trea­ surer of the students club in '75 and the president o f the I.C.C. this year. He has also been a senior resident and was recently elected the B. O. G. representative fo r the Alum ni Association. He commented, "Staying at I.H. has been an enriching experience. Whilst I have made friends from many parts o f the w orld; most of these enriching moments were derived from having met the great number of people who have passed through I.H. Our well known m otto: 'That Brotherhood May Prevail', appears to be misinterpreted by many people in the sense that they have regarded it as a cosmopolitan ideal, be it possible or not. As a result, some have left I.H. w ith a sense of bitterness whilst many others left w ith o u t thinking what else it could mean.. The major criticism about I.H. has been that people tend to join their own national groups and not really m ix with people o f other races and cultures. Although this L done, it is NOT something to criticise. A fte r all, do people include their own brothers and sisters in their own social group of friends. O f course not! The wonderful thing about I.H. is that there are so many cultures and races living in harmony under the 'one' roof; eating the same kind o f food; and sharing the same facilities; and most important w ith each other.

MARGARET BRYANT Margie came in 1973 and this year completes her B.A. majoring in Journalism and Government. Her sport­ ing involvements include playing tennis and swimming for college. This semester she became one of the more fanatical members of Tom Creevy's "Thrash Me Awake With a Broken Bottle Jogging C lub". Margie plans to find a place in public relations w ith a private firm next year.

JANICE DICKINSON Janice arrived in 1974 and heatedly indulged in volley­ ball and hockey and tennis and hockey and the cross­ country on one occasion. Apart from this busy sport­ ing existence, Janice was a major organiser of the Sun­ day Suppers along with other activities. This year Jan­ ice completes her Arts degree and next year plans to be a primary school teacher.

TERRANCE CHAN Originally from F iji, Terry firs t came to college in 1973; then moved out in second semester of 1974 to "give flatting a go". He returned to college this year because he found college life more fun. Terry played soccer for college and is this year's soccer convenor. Of college, he says, "College fo r me is home. It's not what college does fo r you; it's how you make it w ith other people.

If I could do it all over again, I would.

GEOFF HINGERTY A t the completion o f this semester, Geoff w ill continue in his former position as a highschool physical education teacher in New South Wales. When a satisfactory position becomes available he w ill take up an executive position as physical education/health master.

Speaking o f I.H., Geoff says, " I view I.H. as a 'training camp' in the maturation o f one's personality and poten足 tia l."

MOHAMMAD HALIM RAZI Halim has been in I.H. fo r four years and this year completes his honours degree in microbiology. During his stay, Halim was involved in soccer, hockey and vol足 leyball. He is the student B.O.G. representative and a senior resident. Of college, he has this to say, "I.H . has always been my home while I pursued my University studies, and this college means a lot to me. It gave me a chance to meet Internationals; to share and contra足 dict ideas; to participate or avoid activities and, in general, was a place where I learnt many aspects o f life.

The Australian hosts played their role in the moulding o f my thoughts etc. and fo r that I thank them. I came, I saw, I learnt and I w ill take my leave.

DAVID LEUNG From Hong Kong, David finishes his honours course in pharmacy this year and next year plans to return home to begin a practice. He has lived at I.H. fo r four years.

RICHARD SEETO From P.N.G. Richard came in 1974 and this year com­ pletes his honours degree in economics. He has played rugby and cricket fo r college and commenting on col­ lege life in general, he referred to the "great morale and spirit b uilt up especially during sporting com petitions" and these warm and entertaining social gatherings" as the most memorable part of college.

BARRY HUGHES A fter only 21 years, sprouter of witticisms and failed boat captain, Barry finally found his place in society in room C11 o f International House where he conducted a one man war against mathematical ineptitude and dis­ like o f opera. Against neither did he achieve any lasting success, but from all reports he enjoyed the try.

On a more serious note, he readily expresses great plea­ sure in his year at International House and he hopes that he can find a place as friendly as I.H. wherever he goes next year to fo llo w his career in applied mathematics.

NEVA MAXIM Neva came to college a year ago and played a little hockey; watched a little T .V . (12" screen size) and has been the consistant winner o f the V ictor Win­ ders Umteenth Notice Award for Strategic Illegal Parking. — Her car was subsequently blown up.

Neva completes her Arts Law course this year and next year plans to marry. We wish her and her es­ kimo friend all the best in their future escapades in the frozen north.

APOTHECARY REPORT Upon entering college as a 'fresher' I was endowed with the title o f "College Pharmacist" which I graciously ac­ cepted. However when I made enquiries as to the realm of my duties all I received were vacant, mumbled replies about helping out persons distress . . . . So I resolved to change, or at least diversify the range of products that the Pharmacy carried.

With the finesse o f a hardened businessman I negotiated a discount w ith a pharmaceutical supplier, advertised my products w ith a 10% discount and called the establish­ ment "A rth u r's Apothecary". The lines carried ranged from vitamins to mouthguards, and other forms of guards.

Suprisingly it worked! In fact the Apothecary should have a turn — over o f $100 worth of stock by the end the year.

Despite the time involved, the initial outlay and unprofita b lity ; I am gald that I have made the Pharmacy into a somewhat useful fa c ility . My thanks to all my patrons — some o f whom wish to remain very anonymous.
