1982 Kanyana

KANYANA

1982

The function of Kanyana has changed and evolved over the years. When it was first printed it fulfilled much the same function as the college quarterly, 'Jen'. Kanyana is an aboriginal word meaning 'Meeting Place', and it was a forum for debate and ideas. A larger 'year' edition was also printed and it was in this direction that Kanyana developed, arriving at its present form — a year's record.

So this is it — Kanyana 1982. A valiant attempt was made to include 'words and pictures' on all significant and not-so-significant college events.

Alas, however, there are some deficits in part due to economic and time constraints, and a general disarray.

I would like to thank the hardworking 1982 committee members:Alison Overland, Chris Rogers, Robyn Duffy, Martin Flynn, Fiona Dun­ can, Elaine and Emmie Chan, Jessica Barker and Leanne Breuckner, and those non-committee members: Neale Mulligan, Peter Reimers, Greg Groves, Kris Wellings, Bob Heath and Steve McKinstry, who gave freely of their time to get this to you.

Finally, thanks must go to you, the college member for making 1982 eventful enough to record and happy enough to look back on with pleasure.

I hope you enjoy 1982 again.

Jeff Keir, Kanyana Editor, 1982.

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR MENTORS CHAIRMAN'S REPORT There is one aspect o f the formation o f this International House which has not been recognised sufficiently, and that is the role played by Professor Frank White who was at the time Professor o f Mining and Metallurgy at the University and the Warden o f Overseas Students. Professor White was a member o f the Rotary Club of Brisbane and he suggest­ ed that International House would be a fittin g project to mark Rotary's Golden Anniversary. It is pleasing to recall that Professor White who had transferred to an overseas university was able to visit us and see International House started and operating w ith students in residence. Í k n o w . he was delighted to see this.

The original committee guided by Professor White laid down a few main guidelines: (1) That International House would be co educational.

(2) That it would have a maximum o f 150 students in residence.

(3) That 75 resident students would be from overseas and 75 Australian.

(4) That International House would be a meeting place fo r all overseas students and Australian students to facilitate the exchange o f ideas, learning about each other's cul­ tures and forming lasting friendships.

The design o f International House is unique as a resi­ dential college. The construction costs were considerably more than the more orthodox corridor type college, but in addition we b u ilt the rooms larger w ith more wardrobe space and study-desk and bookself space than normally is provided. Government financial assistance is provided only on the specification laid down as to size o f rooms and facilities. We therefore paid the extra cost involved our­ selves in addition to our usual share. There was consider­ able opposition to our design from Government and other sources — the statements were that it would not work as a residental college. It is sufficient to say in the light of eighteen years operation as a residental college that if we had to make a decision now we would do the same again.

The capital costs and operating costs have been kept completely separate. A ll the money raised has been used for capital costs only. The income from the residential fees, conference visitors, the yearly Government grant etc., has been used fo r operating costs only. The compara­ tively small accumulated surplus in the operating House Account after eighteen years of functioning and the fact 4

that the last tw o years a deficit in the account resulted is evidence that every endeavour is made to keep residential fees as low as possible. It is expected that a surplus w ill be shown this year but that w ill be due to the extra confer­ ence income. However, the college must be self-supporting; it Is not practical to raise money outside for operating costs.

The residential accommodation was completed at the start o f 1970 w ith the construction o f G Tower which brought our total residential accommodation to 151.

Although not originally intended it has been decided to build a larger dining room and administration offices w ith hopefully a sound-proof area underneath. When this is done and the existing dining room transformed into a loungetype common room a more definite move can be made to use the facilities for students both overseas and Australian, not resident in International House.

The building o f this new dining room complex has been talked about fo r some years and it was confidently expect­ ed that it would have been b uilt before now, but we have been frustrated in our efforts by problems and hold-ups outside our control.

Construction costs have o f course, risen out o f all reason, but it is intended to complete the building at the end o f 1983. This w ill then finalise the building programme o f International House as at present envisaged. Finance w ill be provided by - a special building appeal shortly being launched, by money already in hand raised since the College became debt free and o f course, borrowed money, the amount borrowed w ill be governed by the success of the special appeal.

It is twenty-eight years in April 1983 since International House was launched and the last tw enty years have been years o f constant endeavour w ith many disappointments and frustrations but as progress was achieved also w ith a great deal o f satisfaction. There is no thought o f departing from broad guidelines laid down by the original committee.

Naturally as circumstances and conditions alter however, It may be desirable to effect some changes in operating procedure.

Notwithstanding the somewhat cynical attitude and remarks o f a small m inority it is a proven fact that Inter­ national House has been successful in promoting under­ standing and friendship between people of different nation­ ality and culture and It w ill undoubtedly continue to do so to a greater degree fo r many years to come.

IH AND THE GAMES 1982 Both represent an attempt to promote world understand­ ing and exalt internationalism above nationalism.

In almost 2000 years we have progressed little towards a genuine internationalism because the forces of nationalism refuse to be curbed. A rather cynical English author and poet wrote at Christmas in 1924: 'Peace on earth! was said. We sing it And pay a million priests to bring it, A fter two thousand years of mass, We've go as far as poison gas.

Since then we have experienced the League of Nations, World War II, the United Nations and series and series of nationalistic wars and skirmishes. What can any of us do in the face of this fervent nationalism? What positive steps can we take to achieve world understanding?

I would suggest that we need to have an enlightened public opinion. As citizens o f any country we need to have an understanding of changes taking place in the world, changes which affect the prosperity, happiness, and indeed, the survival of us all. Governments can deal adquately w ith problems ONLY w ithin the framework o f an enlight­ ened public opinion. As highly educated people, much of the responsibility of helping to influence government policy is yours.

The Commonwealth Games from inception was an attempt to build friendly relationships between member countries. In the Commonwealth fam ily o f nations, Games membership comprises fifty -fo u r volunatry members em­ bracing more than one quarter of the world's population.

The Games have always been characterised by mutual respect personal dignity and recognition o f the British Crown. The Games are one of the finest expressions o f the Commonwealth Nations' collective aim to build bridges of understanding between peoples o f different races, colours, creeds and economic standing. This is a laudable ambition not very different from the aims and objectives o f International House.

As a team attache, I had many opportunities to observe the camaraderie, the good fellowship present w ithin the Games Village. A t the sporting venues some o f this friend­ liness continued but again emerged the nationalistic tiger — 'Australia must beat Canada in the swimming to regain Commonwealth supremacy!' 'Australia's medal count was the focus of all attention!' One commentator in particular, probably went to bed with the Australian Flag as a bedsheet so that his bias would remain constant and his eyes blinkered so he could only see an talk Australia. My admira­ tion goes to so many of the smaller teams, who w ith little financial backing, gave of their all by participating in events they had no chance o f winning. 'Participation should be the Name o f the Games.' The atmosphere In the Village was rich w ith cordiality, good humour and genuine friendli­ ness. That fo r me was the high point o f the Games.

Perhaps at college we should consciously try to adopt a more positive attitude towards seeking more personal understandings. Your prime aim is to become academically successful, but surely somehow some cross culture must rub off. It is your responsibility to be an Interpreter o f your society to others.

A t International House we should try to bridge the gap between Australian parochialism and the tendency of overseas students toward reticence and retirement. The m otto of all International Houses — 'May Brotherhood Prevail' — is sometimes viewed w ith cynicism. Yet the concept of brotherhood is still a workable one. Any dis­ crepancy between the ideal and its practice is, in a large measure, correctable by human beings.

In conclusion and in hope, I offer you the principle of brotherhood.

'As light begets light; so love, friendship and good­ w ill are passed from one to another. We who have come from many nations to live in one fellowship in International House promise one another to pass the light wherever we go.'

So be it.

Many thanks to "O-Week" convenors, Jim Henry, Peter Shoyer and Wilfred Brimblecombe fo r their expert handling of the reins. Special thanks to Jim, '81 I.H. Social Convenor, for his assistance in mak­ ing my job a whole lot easier.

The 1982 Social Committee consisting of Robyn Duffy, Zena Wildsoet, Emmie Chan, Karen Chapman, Peter Calla­ ghan, Geoff Forday, Simon Thatcher, Greg Groves and Neale Mulligan promise to be an enthusiastic, hard-working and approachable team w ith many original ideas for the 1982 Social Calendar.

ORIENTATION Having been asked to w rite an article on Orientation Week fo r "Kanyana", I have since racked my brains in countless efforts at recalling what has long ago faded into a dim, blurred, pleasant memory o f my first week at Inter­ national House, The details of my memory, like the out­ lines o f an old, old painting, are smudged and hard to see, but there remains a certain something that transforms this common old recollection/picture into something mem­ orable.

In the case o f " 0 " Week that certain something was the warm welcome which all we 'Freshers' were given and the feeling o f belonging that was encouraged by the friend­ liness o f everybody concerned. " O " Week is probably more aptly termed "O h !" Week, "O h !" being 'an exclamation expressive o f feelings of various kinds, especially in astonishment'. "Astonishing" is one way to describe it. " 0 " Week was a funny, strange.

WEEK exciting interlude. Yet there was 'method somewhere in the midst o f all that madness, fo r Orientation Week was ultim ­ ately successful in fu lfilling its purpose o f welcoming us to life at IH. There are happy, hazy images o f parties, barbecues, boat trips, bowling games, ice-skating, and visits to the Planetarium and to the Gold Coast, images o f being waterbombed and of "w inn ing " the ICC boat race; and how many times were we all told the story of "H ow IH Could Have Had a Squash Court/Swimming Pool Instead of G Tower"?!

On behalf of all the Freshers, I offer my sincerest thanks to the convenors — Jim Henry, Peter Soyer and Wilfred Brimblecombe fo r a wonderful, incredible Orientation Week.

THOSE FIR ST FEW W EEKS On first arriving at college, it is difficult to know what to expect, and even more difficult to reconcile what you expected with what you seel! Below, we have collected a few pithy (and not so pithy) remarks about the 'first few weeks'.

'One of the first things that really struck me when I arrived at I.H. was the unusual thoughtfulness of everyone at meals — the habit of offering to get coffee, tea, food and the like . . . this quaint custom is not often acknowledged as a definite feature of I.H.' — Claude Rakisits '. . . I've spent most of my time here crawling around underneath my car . . . the people are friendly, the food's not bad (??!) and . . . I live in a penthouse suite.

'There is only one thing wrong with college really — it's not home.'

— Michael Young

. • ,s great

Hf,

'I dreamed that International House was very big and -very tall, but it is only small — and no lift!'

— Kob Kaew (Thailand) 8

Perhaps the c°rn m¡-

' . . . my study habits have improved so much that they no longer exist. . . I have managed now to adjust my palate and intestinal mechanisms to the food — but not the coffee . . . seriously, contrary to all expectations, I enjoyed college life from the first day I spent here.'

— Debbie McFee (Aust.)

‘One of my first impressions of what life was to be like was my initiation into the weird and wonderful "college barbeque": underdone steaks, distinctly soggy lettuce, stale buns and — horrors! — alcohol.'

— Alison Overland (Aust.)

March:

The first social activity of March was something of a novelty. Sunday (7/3) afternoon saw possibly 'the biggest Softball match in the world' played off between Finchy’s "The Team" and Pissed-Again's "People". Big Bob Heath presided over the afternoon's ball slogging and stopping, while Chris and Emmie poured our lemon, lime and bitters refreshments with practised hands.

Highlights of the game should have been Darren's two home runs for the "Team" and John Kewagi's home run for the "People", but their feats were somewhat outdone by Piss-Again's and John's eager scramble to catch the same flyball; they collided head on in true movie-gumbie-style — worst of all, they dropped the ball!

Unfortunately, we had to take a raincheck on our InterTower Sports Day which was postponed until 25th July, the first Sunday back in second semester.

Our 'Psychedelic 60's' Nite on Saturday, 20th March was a blast! D.J. Mulligan spun the tunes with pizazz and without grumbles so that we could get down and boogie under the dining room. Greg Groves, Grant Blair and their side-kicks kept us spilling the pink lemonade and apple juice in our 'pad under the rainbow lights and stars' among the Towers.

This year, for the first time, an I.C.C. 'mini-ball' was held on March 27th. A small band of enthusiastic I.H.ians attended and reported that, after a slow start, it developed into quite a successful night.

— Naomi Beasley 11

Dear Vic...

This year, after 9 years of selfless sacrifice, hard work and beard growing, Vic Winders, our house manager has retired to quiet life in the country. He was never at a loss for words, and nor were those of who wrote the messages in the main­ tenance book. Most of these messages began, ‘Dear Vic . .

SWIMMING Our I C.C. swimming carnival was an entertaining diver­ sion from our studies (???) on Tuesday night early in the year. The majority of the spectators found themselves in the water to ensure I.H. had competitors in each of the events.

The bulk of the burden for the women fell on the shoulders of Zena, Karen, Narelle and Naomi; who must be congratulated for their tremendous effort. Thanks also go to Sandra, Lea and Larissa who were 'volunteered' for the Fresherette relay.

The men hd a substantial team: Derek, Steve F., Doug, Brendon, Thomas, Neale, Steve M., Greg G., and Matt.

Perhaps the highlight of the evening was the winning of the fresher relay due to the skillfulness of our freshers in busting the Grace girls' balloons, and dragging the other teams into the pool (in the case of the males' team).

Thank you to all who swam or watched or got wet.

— Liisa Isokangas.

-------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------SOCIAL REPORT A fter the somewhat disappointing outcome o f the April 4th ICC Regatta fo r I.H., the weary rowers and their local supporters trickled back to College for a keg and prawns, and volleyball game. Spike and Jud managed the keg w ith a minimum o f fuss — it was good to see such a reasonable turnout o f our dyed-in-the-wool drinkers.

Knockers Heatley and Foggy got us a good deal on the King Prawns which were delicious (if a little frozen). A big thank your to the hard working chefs (Finchy, Peter R. and co.) fo r barbecuing our sausages and steaks to per­ fection, and to the brave social committee fo r cleaning up the stinky prawnheads the morning after.

The I.H. Dinner Dance on Friday, A pril 16th was a Medeliä! A fte r a couple o f John Towler's secret (alcoholically adulterated) punch fo r pre-dinner drinks at 6.15, the evening kicked o ff at 7pm. The radiant ladies and polished gentlemen tiptoed into the dining room to find it had been transformed into a tropical paradise w ith tables decorated w ith innovating banana fronds. The meal itself was mouth­ watering and plentiful, and the 'South Pacific' sound track was an appropriate background music choice. Kaimana completed the tropical theme by performing two afterdinner dances.

A fter D.J. Tony Danger had to make a rather hurried exit due to an emergency, our capable amateur D.J. Neale Mulligan came through like an old pro' and kept us whoop­ ing it up until Tony's sidekick came along to play the tunes. The music died a little after 1am and the masses on the dance floor seemed happy enough to retire to their cosy little beds.

'Fools Day' — Theresa L. and Judy B. 'd id n 't put newspaper over those doors in G Tower' (so they say).

College Auction — we sold a lot o f junk to our­ selves.

I.C.C. Regatta — a wet day on land and water (and XX XX ). Keg and BBQ after.

The Easter Bunny drops by (thanks Jo-Anne, Margaret and . . .?)

Fri 9 Margaret Fong makes a special trip to NSW! Mon 12 Steve McK. gets too close to a Land Rover and gruntles (college word) his nose.

Fri 16 I.H. Dinner Dance — What a Night (and morn­ ing) — and day after — and night a fte r. . .

Tue 20 Under torture Jasveer admits that he grows his beard to hide the pimples on his chin.

Wed 21 Meanwhile, Jeff Keir starts a beard.

Sat 24 We finally field a whole team in women's hockey — and score our first goals.

I.C.C. REGATTA The I.H. Rowing Squad initially consisted o f 6 crews.

However, the hard grind o f training (chilly 5am starts everyday; early-to-bed, early-to-rise Saturday nights before Regattas) took its to ll and we saw the season out w ith only 4 crews (2 mens, 2 womens).

The Honour & Glory fell mainly upon our Women's 2nd Four (Stroke — Kathy Heatley, 3 — Naomi Beasley, 2 — Zena Wildsoet and Bow — Anna Fearnley). We are indebted to our Coach Extraordinaire, Cam Stephenson (former T.S.S. Stroke), for his abiding interest and dedi­ cation, and our Cox, Justin Power, who coaxed us on to our glorious wins in the Kings and Johns' Regattas. Unfor­ tunately, a maladjusted seat cost us a certain I.C.C. victory — we'll just have to rise w ith the sun again next year to make sure our hard-fought fo r competence as a crew is rewarded w ith the elusive I.C.C. Pennant!

The highlight o f our season? When a State Rowing Coach donated a few minutes of his time to advise 'little ' Anna in the back seat that she would have to stroke much harder if she was to "keep up w ith the pulling power of the three mighty Amazons in fron t o f her " — well, Numbi and Zedley weren't too shocked by his comment, but 98-

pound-weakling, "Knockers" Heatley, in the front seat d id n't know whether to feel flattered or horrified!

Our Men's 1st Novice crew (Stroke — Greg Sealey, 3 — Ron Chang, 2 — Ross Hetherington, and Bow — An­ thony Finch) also had reasonable success when they came 4th in the I.C.C. Regatta, and again; they were coxed by the featherweight Jud. Despite individual potentials, our Women's 4th crew (Stroke — Karen Chapman, 3 — Liisa Isokangas, 2 — Sandy Achurch, and Bow — Anna Castellano) couldn't quite get their act together in time for the I.C.C. Regatta, where they were last to cross the finish line. Coach and Cox, Andrew Walkden-Brown, is to be congratulated for his patience and 'never-say-die-girls' approach to training.

Our last (and, unfortunately, least!!) boatload, the Men's 2nd Novice crew (Stroke — Andrew Walkden-Brown, 2 — Matt Ferguson, Bow — Doug MacKinstry, and Cox — Justin Power, out fo r his 3rd ride), had absolutely no success all season!

They claim Darren's to blame, but it wasn't all his fault (just most of it!)..

Although we heard comments from some other Colleges' crews that since we are a College o f 'boaties' we should have had more success in the boats than we did, we still had a thoroughly enjoyable season. Special thanks must go to our Coaches Cam Stephenson and Andrew WalkdenBrown, our Cox, Justin Power, and B.B.C. fo r being so kind as to let us use their boats!

— Andrew Walkden-Brown & Naomi Beasley.

CRICKET REPORT A t the start o f this year's first cricket match (v. Crom­ well) I.H. had not won a game in tw o years. A t the start of this year's last game I.H. was leading the I.C.C. cricket competition.

We went down to St. Leos College in that last game, by one run, on the last ball of the day. This defeat, in what was effectively the Grand Final, should not over­ shadow the fact that it was a successful season. A season in which, fo r the first tim e in my three years at college, the I.H. cricket team had both the desire to win, and had equipped itself w ith the ability to do so.

Our match record is as follow : 1. Cromwell : all out 91, I.H. 3/95 2. washout against Union 3. I.H. : 6/119, Emmanuel : all o u t/77 4. Johns : all out/72, I.H. : 3/76 5. Kings : 9/90, I.H. 4/91 6. I.H. : 7/140, Leos : 9/141 In all, four victories, one washout and one loss. Our team was: Darren Anderson (I.C.C., 34); David Maunsell (I.C.C., 43); Doug McKinstry, Peter Reimers, Mark God­ frey, Jim Henry, Kelvin Clarke, Greg Groves (I.C.C., 13/ 118); Peter Shoyer, John Samisoni, B.S.M. Rao, Geoff Forday and Neil Mulligan.

I conclude by noting what a pleasure it is to w rite an I.H. sports report, telling not of loss, but o f victory!

— Jim Henry

16

M EN'S H O C K E Y R E P O R T On paper, I.H.'s prospects for a successful hockey season looked extremely promising, but unfortunately the team failed to live up to expectations. Lack of team practise was our greatest set-back, but other factors in­ cluded apathy, wanning enthusiasm, and injuries.

Victory over Emmanuel, losses to Leos, Kings and Union, and drawn matches with Cromwell and Johns gave I.H. joint fifth spot in the final placings, after Johns' technical draw with Union gave them the edge over us.

Indeed the results were by no means indicative of the way the game was played. The team rarely lacked in effort, but our play was generally erratic, at times quite incon­ sistent, and even brilliant on the rare occasion.

Scoe celebrated his debut as a forward against Em­ manuel with a goal acclaimed to be a spectator's delight and the envy of many a player. (Rumour has it, he was trying to pass it!) Our comeback against Johns was an­ other memorable highlight after being 0-3 at half-time.

Foggy's inspiring performances in the mid-field earned him I.C.C. selection, but other players who excelled includ­ ed fullback Anthony Finch who improved with every game, and Darren Anderson and Danny Storr whose goals spurred the team on.

The rest of the team must not be forgotten however as they too must be credited for the moments of glory. They are Jo ck, Simon, Greg, Doug, Paul, Graham, Laurent and Spike. A t times we were hard pressed to field a team, so special thanks must go to those " I'll have a go" substititues.

Let's hope for better luck next year.

— Neale Mulligan

SQ U A SH R E P O R T The I.H. Women's Squash Team set out this year to prove to the other colleges that they really had something to worry about when playing us. Sheer skill and determi­ nation were our winning secrets when we played Milton House, Union and Duschene. However, general lack of fitness, lack of sleep, casualness and the occasional case of intoxication (e.g. Karen's birthday) were our downfalls.

A t least when we did "go down" we went down fighting (or laughing).

Congratulations must to to Judy Blackbeard, Zana Wildsoet and Karen Chapman for their constant effort throughout the season and to Justine Angus who backed i:s up wholeheartedly, with the help of Jenny Paay, Naomi Beasley and Jessica Barker who filled in when we were desperate.

I would like to thank the few I.H.ian spectators who dragged themselves away from 'conching' to cheer us on.

WOMEN'S HOCKEY This year we d id n't manage to maintain the standard set last year, evident in the fact that we lost all games except fo r the draw w ith M ilton House. We were a scratch team w ith little experience yet the standard o f play im­ proved throughout the season.

Odr forward line relied on the team work between Karen and Zena: Alison assisted Kerry to score our first of only four goals o f the season. Simone proved useful when given the ball on the wing, as did Robyn and Lea when called on to play. Emmie played extremely well when short o f players — we don't think she quite realised the danger we was facing!

Anna played brilliantly as right half saving the defence a lot of work. The half line was strengthened by Barbara and Liisa, and in our last tw o games our new import, Jill was invaluable. Our backline was exceptional, and congratulations must go to Jenny and Naomi fo r facing the continual barrage o f the opposition's attack. The whole team can thank Jo-anne fo r padding-up as goalie w itho ut prior experience and bravely defending the goal.

Looking back, although we weren’t the most successful team, I hope everyone who played enjoyed the season.

Thank you to all players and those who supported us from the sidelines.

MEN'S BASKETBALL International House's 1982 Men's Basketball team had a lot more enthusiasm than last year's. A core of eight players were assisted by a further nine at various points throughout the season.

Two beginners in the team improved throughout the season. Andrew Walken-Brown changed from a tall un­ coordinated learner to a tall uncoordinated player, well known fo r his excellent fouling ability (shades o f Tim Tresize!?). Steve Faulkner was always on hand when needed and earned himself at least one nomination fo r the foul of the season.

David Barmes' bullet-like passes kept both teams on the lookout. This year's most outstanding supporter award was shared between Naomi Beasley and Douglas McKinstrey, both of whom more than made up for the many potential supporters who failed to turn up.

The whole team improved w ith each game. The first two games, against Leos and Kings, saw a fifty point margin. Against undefeated ICC champions Union College, I.H. led 11-10 at half time and eventually went down by only a few points. Cromwell failed to reach the predicted century against us and although the mighty Jabbers weren't sent home w ith their tails between their legs, they recorded only a narrow victory.

The final game of the season was the battle o f the wooden spoon, against Emanuel College, in which I.H. secured victory by five points.

Thank you to those eight players who made up the main team, the others who made the e ffo rt to held and the sup­ porters who found the time to turn up and cheer.

The team: Andrew Walkden-Brown, Steven Gee, Steve Faulkner, David Barmes, Dickens Kalinga, Rodney Betts, Martin Flynn and Derek Frail.

UM AY May Saturday, May 1st saw its first Movie Buff Bonanza.

By 8pm the party room was crowded w ith bean bags, blankets, cuddly toys and Blazing Saddles fans (and firsttimers). Mark Godfrey played projectionist for the night and ship was opened before the film and at 'interval' to enable munchies to be bought. Blazing Saddles was an 'appropriate' choice o f movie for International House involving the humorous and heartwarming development of a loyal brotherhood between a black slave-cum-sheriff and a white sharp shooter-cum-alcoholic.

A fter the movie, we moved to the scoop room for mugs of steaming hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows around the fire. Masa on the piano and the Mckinstry brothers on' the guitar provided some beautiful music.

We swapped Blazing Saddles fo r The Champ on Sunday and Monday nights and discovered we do have quite a few sentimental 'softies' at I.H. judging by the number o f red eyes in the audience when the lights came on at the end.

On May 6th, we had our Farewell for the Holiday B.B.Q. and volleyball. Thank you to the social committee fo r or­ ganising things so capably, especially Greg for supervising the woodchopping, Vinda, Roscoe and Co. fo r cheffing and Chris S. fo r getting the volleyball games going.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

MmĂ&#x20AC;

. . . Na . . . Na . . . Na . . . Na . . . Na . . . . Na . . . Na . . . Na . . . Chapwoman! . . . The recurring chant or> the lips of the heaps of I.H.ians (Thanx Guys!) who came down to cheer on the Women's Basketball Team every Wednesday night, as Karen scored yet another. . . basket!

Our '82 squad was rich in individual potentials, but poor at pulling them all together because we d id n't have the dedication to make use o f our inconvenient Monday night 10.30-11.30pm training time. We won 2 games and lost five, but the game (our first o f the season) we lost 16-18 to Women's was a thriller!

It looked a certain I.H. victory at half-time, and it was only in the last few minutes of the game that we bungled the ball so much that Women's were able to penetrate our defence and score about 5 baskets to level the. score, then, in the.last 8 seconds of the game; a Women's long shot went in, and we were done in! Oh, the frustration o f being pipped at the post, but, nevertheless, it was an exciting match fo r the spectators.

We saw solid rebounding from forwards Theresa Lacava, Numbi, and Narelle, who also ably covered the- centre of the key. Long and leggy Sandy Achurch and Liisa were newcomers to the game, but their rebounding strengthened considerably over the season. Zedley's competent ball handling skills, and speedy little Kerry G riffin's fancy footwork (Nippon-ese influence?) assisted top-scorer Karen no end. Karen was nominated fo r I.C.C., but due to a bit of unintentional (?), clever manipulation from the bigger colleges, underdog I.H. managed to miss out again.

Lasses, your enthusiasm and team spirit were a credit to you; let's try fo r a few more wins next time 'round! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Naomi Beasley

SQUASH REPORT

CROSS COUNTRY REPORT

Can any one word describe the performance of the I.H. Squash Team this year? Yes, but this is a family magazine and therefore it would be wise not to comment. Some of the players trained hard, only to be demoralised by some of the hardest competitions that I.C.C. has seen in years.

The real thanks should go to people like David Hunter who was called upon to play at a moment's notice.’ A l­ though he was not victorious, I'm sure he shall remember those tw o points we won for the rest of his life. His op­ ponent realized he had an easy match. He only had to run about a dozen steps during the entire game and most of those were used up walking on to the court.

Kelvin Clarke is another of these players and I wish I had a whole team like him. He ran like a rabbit and never let the ball say die.

Brendon Power made himself famous. He h it the ball w ith such ferocity at times that I thought it was his worst enemy. Also, most o f the time, it was. Jim Henry, Fred Astaire I called him last year, truly lived up to his nickname this year. A t times his opponents stopped their game to applaud his dazzling footwork. David Barmes was our fresher talent and possessed the natural ability but sadly not the experience. His cries of 'I could have sworn that ball was up!' left us in tears and reaching for the Academy Award nomination forms.

I.C.C. squash, once again, proved to be not a team com­ petition but rather a competition to see who had the raw natural talent. Well we d id n't and we lost, but we did have an I.C.C. representative. John Towler made number four in the I.C.C. team and for that I.H. can hold its head high.

Thanks to all the spectators, (his name escapes me at the moment) who came along and cheered.

The I.C.C. Cross Country event this year was held for the first time on two consecutive days. No, it wasn't a 48 hour long race, but two separate gruelling races for both sexes.

On Saturday 22nd o f May both men's and women's; individual races were run (5km men, 3km women) on courses around campus. Final placings fo r I.H. were: MEN: Peter Holloway 32, Andrew Walkden-Brown 51, Neale Mulligan 53, Stephen Falconer 60, Chua Poh Kian 91, Chris Searle 99, Greg Groves 100; WOMEN: Karen Chapman 11, Naomi Beasley 18, Liisa Isokangas 21, Sandra Achurch 31.

Chris Searle's chances o f winning the event were dashed when on the back leg o f the course his glasses were nipped from his face by a flailing limb (of a tree!).

Team relays were run on Sunday, 23rd May. U nfortun­ ately most runners were still recovering from their fine efforts on Saturday. The women ran a 3 x 1km relay w ith Naomi Beasley, Liisa Isokangas and Karen Chapman competing.

The men's event, a 6 x 3km race, was run by Greg Groves, Chris Searle, Steve Falconer, Andrew 'F iji' WalkdenBrown, Poh Kian (running as Spike Mulligan!) and myself.

The I.H. teams d id n't win on the day, but if map reading skills had been taken into account the men's team would have won by a mile.

Thanks to all the competitors and spectators who participated in these events.

O.C.F. TOYMAKER AND SON About tw o hundred people filled the College dining hall to¡ capacity on 11th May, 1982 to watch the dramatic dance, ‘Toymaker and Son' performed by a group of young Australians associated w ith Youth With *A Mission. The performance was arranged by the Overseas Christian Fellowship (OCF), Brisbane, which met weekly at the Common Room o f second floor in 'G ' Tower in first semester o f this year.

'Toymaker and Son' featured the product o f the art of storytelling through a fusion o f expressive dance, mime, costumes, lighting and various styles o f music. No words were spoken by the performers. Only a brief narration linked the scenes and fostered complete understanding of the theme. It tru ly was an exceptional presentation w ith a an exceptional message. It presented God's love fo r man­ kind in such a fahsion that all ages and all nationalities could understand and respond.

Toymaker represented God, Toymaker's son — Jesus, the Apprentice — Satan. The drama opened w ith a 'Star Wars' battle, as the Apprentice was expelled deep into the universe after failing to overthrow Toymaker and Son. Toymaker decided to make toys that were similar to himself, and placed them In Toyland, which he had made fo r them to enjoy. Toymaker loved the toys and they all spent many happy times together. This reflected that God made us in His own likeness so that we could know Him as both Creator and Friend. The toys were not controlled and were therefore able to chose what response they made to Toymaker.

Then the Apprentice reappeared, and persuaded the toys to be disobedient. Consequently they chose to be rebellious, and refused to return Toymaker's love. They shut Him out o f their lives, and began living selflishly.

In the same way, God gave us a free will. We could choose to either obey Him or live in selfish disobedience. As a result, Toyland became Sorrowland, a place where greed, envy, pride, selfishness and many other results of the rebellion formed a barrier which separated the toys from Toyfnaker. Living our lives selfishly, in rebellion against God, separates us from Him. Toymaker still loved the toys, but was deeply hurt by the things they were doing. He had a plan to destroy the barrier and be united w ith the toys again. So Toy­ maker's Son became a to y and went to live w ith the toys in Sorrowland. He mended broken toys and told them that Toymaker still loved them, although hating the terrible things that they did. The toys responded by nailing him to the Barrier. As Toymaker's Son came to life again, the barrier parted, making a way for the toys to be reunited w ith Toymaker. Because of God's love for us. He sent His only Son Jesus into the world. Jesus was punished fo r our rebellion so that we could know the forgiveness and love of God. All the events of the play transmitted to us a message which united us to reflect on the fact that everyone o f us has a choice to make . . . either to accept Jesus Christ, or reject him.

A U C TIO N AND SUNDAY SUPPERS In the first semester of 1982, we had one Sunday Supper and tw o Sunday Dinners. The first one was held on the 14th March. It was the American Sunday Supper and thanks to Theresa Walker and friends, we had brownies and pancakes and ice cream.

Two weeks later we had a Chinese Dinner. Instead o f the usual Sunday dinner, Mun Har Koh and a few other people got together and cooked some mixed vegetables, marinated beef and rice. It turned out to be a great success. On 3rd May, Masahiro Kato along w ith a few other students put on a Japanese Night, w ith sukiyaki for dinner and a very entertaining programme afterwards, including Japanese dance and song.

Another activity in first semester was a college auction held in April. Thanks to the help o f a lot of people in college, especially Patricia Tan, Anna Fearnley and Peter Holloway, we managed to clean out all the four store rooms : and anytliìhg that was not labelled or claimed, was auction­ ed. What was left was donated to the Salvation jfkrmy.

Thanks mu^t also be extended to Martin Flynn, who did an excellent job as an auctioneer.

SOCIAL JU LY: Semester II has involved a diverse, and perhaps too busy a Social Calendar (after all, our priority at I.H. is supposed to be study . . .?). Our first week back was a particularly busy one: We Had a Welcome Back BBQ and Volleyball on Sunday 18th July — thanks to our 'chefs', who began the cooking early so that everyone could feed and water themselves at a relatively leisurely pace.

On Wednesday 21st July, former Cellar Club President and Life-long Member, Stewie Moore, shunted a carriage o f thirsty I.H.ians around the X X X X Plant — somewhat slurred reports indicate a good time was had by all.

The following Thursday afternoon 22nd July, I.H. felt obliged to send a delegation to the Winetasting Festival at the Crest International Hotel. Our now learned wine connoisseurs recommend U nity Cheese between wines, and Cinzano Jamaican Supreme as a pleasant (much more pleasant than the odious Emerald Cream!) and cheaper (around $3.50) substitute fo r Baileys.

On the following Friday night 23rd July, we provided' fo r a X II Commonwealth Games Celebration. Jess & co. decorated the party room most effectively w ith Aussie colours, red, white and blue, stick figure athletes com­ peting posters. As it has often happened this year w ith I.H. parties on a Friday night, the Celebration was certain­ ly a slow mover, but by 9pm, everyone had returned from the Club/Regatta (and brought their mates!) and we saw some healthy 'getting down' in response to the 'bigger, brighter and better' music output from the new speakers the Student Club purchased w ith the bulk o f the money from the Project Fund. Our recently departed 'D ' Tower Senior Resident, Roscoe, drew the winning name for the raffle in the Commonwealth Games sports bag out o f Mr Cribb's 'Joh' hat — congratulations Rodney Betts!

SOCI AL The weekend o f 30-31st J u ly /ls t August was to have been a Movie Bonanza II: The Blues Brothers. U nfortun­ ately, the projector donated by our 'guardian angle', Bert Martin, did not combine well w ith The Blues Brothers, and the sound was badly distorted. The movie was re-shown on Monday 8th August w ith a projector from Audio-Visual, and most o f the enthusiastic viewers have been 'rawhidina' ever since!

'F ' Tower is declared the winner o f the 1982 InterTower Sports, taking over the prestigous Cup from the 1981 Champions, 'C' Tower. 'D ' Tower was hot on their heels, followed by 'A ' Tower, 'B ' Tower , 'E ' Tower, and 'C' Tower reversed their 1981 position by coming last this year (Vinda, where were you when you team needed your leadership? — Spiders in the Kitchen???)

Results in detail: 'F ' Tower — 1st: Balloon & Orange Race, Tunnel Ball, Tug O' War, Iron persons; 2nd: Egg & Spoon, Egg Throw; 3rd: Pyramid, Boat Design, Grovelling; 4th: Boat Race.

'D ' Tower: 1st: Grovelling, Liquor Resuscitation, Boat Design; 2nd: Wheelbarrow Race, Balloon & Orange Race, Jake the Peg Leg, Pyramid; 3rd: Tunnel Ball, Egg & Spoon Race; 4th: Boat Race, Tug O' War, Iron Persons.

'A ' Tower: 1st: Jake the Peg Leg; 2nd: Tunnel Ball; 3rd: Pyramid, Jake the Peg Leg, Wheelbarrow, Boat Race, Tug O' War; 4th Boat Design, Egg Throw.

'B ' Tower: 1st: Wheelbarrow, Egg & Spoon, Pyramid; 2nd: Boat Race, Tug O'War; 3rd: Balloon & Orange, Iron Persons; 4th: Boat Design.

'E ' Tower: 1st: Egg Throw; 2nd: Pyramid, Iron Persons; 3rd: Egg & Spoon; 4th: Balloon & Orange, Tunnel Ball, Boat Design.

'C' Tower: 1st: — ; 2nd: Wheelbarrow, Boat Race, Boat Design; 3rd: — ; 4th: Jake the Peg Leg, Pyramid.

N.B. Point scores were doubled fo r the Iron Persons event, and fo r events on which Tower's played their Joker.

Lea Ovaska and Andrew Walkden-Brown ('F ' Tower) are our Woman of Steel and Iron Man fo r 1982, and they ould have their trophy (the Rose-Tresize Trophy, in honour o f the 1981 Iron Man and his Woman o f Steel) on their desks if a certain referee hadn't done a 'G ordo' trick and dropped it during the Presentation Ceremony (apologises, Lea & Andrew, a replacement trophy is on the way!).

Friday 6th August was a very special evening: Inter­ national House form ally celebrated the birth 6 f Prince William A rthur Phillip Louis w ith a 'Prince William Chris­ tening Party' in the tradition o f the 1981 Charles & Di Night. Yet another slow start, but what a splendoured even­ ing it turned out to be! the right honourable guests sat around sipping champagne and chatting until 9pm, under the direction o f Queen Elizabeth that we have a 'delightful evening', and then, our more-spectacular-then-the-Exhibition-Firewords 'Christening Re-enactment': Archbishop of Canterbury (Peter Cal) presided over the headwetting of .Bonny Baby Bill (Keith Chandler, suitably nappied and dummied), under the watchful eyes o f proud parents, the gentle Princess Diana (Maria Kratz) and beaming Prince Charles (Neale Mulligan), the doting grandparents, the dignified Queen Elizabeth (Kathy Heatley) and upright Prince Phillip (Greg Groves), and the real crowd pleaser, the ever jo lly Queen Mother (Jocko, appropriately bol­ stered). Chris Searle, Anna Castellano and Roscoe led the toasts to the little royal addition, and this little guy, who may one day be our King William V, laid down h.s bonnet

celebration o f our Royal Heritage.

Movie B uff Bonanza III: Alien was on the weekend o f 20-22nd Augus. This time, the projector worked well, and everyone sat around to be scared out o f their wits by this sci-fi horror flick. It wasn't too terrifying - nobody report­ ed nightmares — but was definatelv w orth a look!

RUGBY LEAGUE As usual the team was fu ll o f confidence prior to the season mainly due to the large numbers o f first years who had had experience w ith a football. Unfortunately, we soon found out that confidence is not all that is needed to win games but many hard training hours on the field and a solid backing in fitness is what is really required to bring success.

Competition fo r positions is what makes a good team.

The knowledge that someone else is desperately trying to take your position in the team lifts your own performance on and o ff the field. The lack of depth w ithin the college does not allow fo r this 'friendly competition' to any large extent, consequently enthusiasm for training is hard to instill in players.

Stewart Moore and John McKinstry, tw o ex-collegians, took up the task of coaching the college team and I must say that they contributed considerably to the team even to the extent o f nearly running on the field when we ran out of reserves. Thanks Stewiw and John for all your efforts!

(And fo r all the beers you bought.)

Highlight o f the season was our defeat o f Cromwell 8-5, a match I am sure made the season worthwhile for the players and supporters. Ross Hetherington, or Roscoe as he is commonly known, played his final match for college after seven years. He scored fifty percent o f our tries this season and once again made the ICC team. Thanks again to all our players who participated throughout the season and to our tw o coaches for all their efforts.

RESULTS: Kings 14 - 0 L; Emmanuel 33 - 0 L; Cromwell 8 - 5 W; John's 16 - 5 L; Leo's 36 - 3 L; Union Forfeit — Winterball.

SOCCER REPORT This year, as tradition has it. International House did not fare well in the I.C.C. Soccer. I don't believe this was due to any lack of enthusiasm on our behalf, but rather to the instillation o f a very professional approach to this I.C.C. sport. I have seen the standard of I.C.C. Soccer soar over the last four years. Gone are the days o f the pale academic w ith wispy hair and the 'vase-bottom' glasses, who only kicked a ball on Saturdays because it resembled his lecturer's face. Today, the college athlete is a jack-of-all-trades — and so he should be.

Getting back to the matter at hand, that is our perfor­ mance vis-a-vis that of the other colleges, we convincingly 'bottomed out'. This however did not reflect our perfor­ mance, as the opposition was demoralised many times by the tenacity o f our crushing defence (although I can't re­ member which game that was).

Nevertheless, spurred on by the fierce competition, most players developed their game substantially — always pressing forward, sweeping back and searching for that 'professional' foul which would earn them I.C.C. notoriety. Anyway, despite the lack o f trophies, I.C.C. selection, etc., I can still say 'Well done chaps, and better luck next year'.

Soirée Soiree 1982, like all Soirees, engendered support from all sectors of College and International House was once again an Open House. With flags flying from the parapets and our new banner between the towers, the crowds flock­ ed to International House.

Our international food stalls, international displays, international beer garden and multinational concert held the public from 12.30pm till almost 5pm. There was a slight problem of undercatering for the larger than expected crowd but Dianne and co. from the kitchen came to the rescue armed with sandwiches, hot pies, chips and kabana for the hungry masses who stayed for the whole show.

This only goes to show what a thorough campaign was planned and executed by John Towler, our publicity manager.

Thanks must go to Teresa Walker and Elaine Chan our food convenors, Emmie Chan and Cody Fitzgerald who handled the displays, Chris Rogers and Kaimana Ali'motua for organising the concert programme and Kelvin Clarke, Grant Blair and Jeff Keir who tackled the unenviable task of gathering advertising for the Souvenir Magazine.

Of course, many thanks to the students of International House who rallied unfailingly to help with preparations for Soiree.

The countries represented in perhaps our main attraction (food!) were:— Australia — Damper, Lamingtons, Anzac Biscuits Singapore — Beef, Lamb Satay Malaysia — Hainanese Chicken Rice and Curry Puffs Thailand — Sticky Rice and Dried Beef India — Pakoda's and Uppma Hong Kong — Chicken Parcels Japan — Vaki Tori Korea — B B Q Beef Spare Ribs France — Apple Patisserie Germany — Potato Pancakes Finland — Ginger Cookies Poland — Bigos England — Devonshire Tea U.S.A. — Pumpkin Pie, Hot Dogs, Popcorn South Africa — Brandy Tarts, Curried Fish Tanzania — Matoke Phillipines — Pork B B Q South Pacific — Pork and Fruit Platter Displays were mounted by almost all countries repre­ sented in College as well as the Anthropology Museum from University. Representatives from the World Development Centre brough a variety of handicrafts to be sold at Soiree and the Crafts Council of Queensland also had a small display and information stand.

Perhaps the high of the Concert programme were the 'Click Go The Shears' shearing demonstration and the Karate exhibition.

Hopefully Sòiree will continue as the success it has proved to be in the past and I hope that College will lend its support to Kaimana and her committee for Soiree 1983. I am looking forward already to next year and the colour and aromas of Soiree, when the world will again be on stage at International House.

SEPTEMBER

SEPTEMBER: On Thursday 2nd September, Kantha Retnam helped us into a 'formal-ing' mood w ith his 'Learn to Ballroom Dance Evening'. He is an excellent dancer himself, and.he had the clumsiest o f us doing the Evening 3-Step, the Foxtrot, and the Jive before a quick break for some Lemon, Lime & Bitters and biscuits, then right into the Waltz, the Boston 2-Step, and the Gypsy Tap. We weren't dancing like professionals by the end o f the night, but we all had a fantastic time, and Kantha was pleased w ith our progress — so much so that he has offered to teach the graceful 'Pride o f Errin' to those I.H.ians and their friends interested in learning one afternoon/evening.

The International House Formal was the following evening, Friday 3rd September. The bus left I.H. for the formal venue, Purtell Park (Wests Rugby League Club) at Bardon at 6.25 and 6.55pm. 'Trish', our burly bus driver, gave us a th rill a minute w ith her enthusiastic negotiations of the M t Cootha range. Official Formal Photographer, Mr Wilfred Brimblecome Esq., greeted us at the door and continued to snap action photos (see our lady o f the silver sours and Irv) throughout the evening. Happy Hour (pre­ dinner drinks — free deer, wine and champagne & orange juice; spirits 40c) extended long into the night until the bulk pre-purchased beer, rum, scotch, gin and Kuhlua was finished. A magnificent Smorgasbord Supper was provided and the hungry guests were speedy in taking advantage o f it. Escargot, the band, were very competent, and again, Mullie's 'Warden's W orry' cassettes were invaluable for keeping the raging going through the band's breaks. And the ballroom dancing? Well, we were prepared and enthusi­ astic, but in a way, I'm delighted to report there were just too many eager-to-ballroom-dance guests crammed onto the dance floor fo r us to be successful in our efforts. It's definiately w orth another try at I.H. Formal '83 if we can clear a bigger dance floor!

Ron and Beryl brought along the energetic Sparrow clan, and bottle-spinner extroadinaire, Ron, capably man­ aged the F oxtrot Monte Carlo which resulted in the last remaining Foxtrotting couple on the floor, Wilfred and Allison Overland, carrying o ff some Darryl Lea chocolates.

Former I.H.¡an, Jill Davidson, and Greg 'Slimey' Seeley carried o ff the Lucky Spot prize, as they were the couple standing under the centre red balloon just before Keith and Steve F. enticed the net of some 500 balloons to the 38

dancefloor. Wests is a plushly furnished club venue in itself, and other than the balloons, the only other decorating touch was the single red Israeli roses scattered liberally onto the tables, in keeping w ith the Formal's 'champagne & roses' theme.

Special thank yous to Kathy H. fo r chasing up the corsages and buttonholes; Jenny Paay and Liisa fo r help­ ing adapt and print the beautiful Formal '82 posters (based on Margie Fong's design from Formal '81); those 1st floor ladies fo r delivering posters etc; the Social Committee fo r all their time and energy, and everyone who helped in anyway to make the 1981 International House Formal such an exquisite evening. (We had many guests from other colleges, and many o f them have called or w ritten to thank the I.H.ians fo r showing them such a pleasant time.

The I.H. Boat Trip, w ith the theme o f The First Fleet, was on the Thursday evening 16th September before break­ ing up fo r the Games holidays. We had assurances that Union College would be delighted to 'come in' on the river cruise w ith us, but they held a free boat trip the night before us w ith the proceeds from their Ball, so we found ourselves considerably short of convicts/rum rebels /free settlers w illing to go water-tripping. Thank you so much to Lea & Co fo r helping to spray paint and deliver our Boat Trip posters, and to Jess and those first flo o r ladies again (and their first year lad cohorts) fo r speeding around campus (I.H., Indooroopilly, the Ville, the Dental School) and begging, borrwoing and stealing possible boat cruisers.

A lot o f Student Club money was sunk into the Boat Trip, and it was really disappointing that more I.H.ians d id n't bother to attend. Still, about fifty people boarded the 'Mirana' and we set o ff down the river. It fe lt peaceful and even mysterious and 'chosen' to be slipping down the river under the moonlight, and Brisbane was a beautiful city to wind our way around that night. Below deck, the suave Stewie in this black and white (he was the bartender, not a convict!) kept the beers and spirits and munchies circulating (none o f the Condon's junk fo r the rum rebels, either, we had fair dinkum Bundy all the way!), and Darren, mostly in white (he wasn't the ghost o f Capt.

Phillip, he had his leg in plaster!) kept the guests supplied w ith grog tickets. Professional D.J. Tony Dangerfield, played the latest rock — he's very good, but our own Music Man Mulligan certainly doesn't look pale in compar­ ison — and you'll never know how different it feels to dance on a moving boat until you try it! Thanks Stewie, Simon, Darren, Cal, Footy, fo r your on-th-night work and to those I.H.ians and mates who did care enough to come along and make a damn good time of the I.H. Boat T rip fo r yourselves.

TENNIS

VO LLE Y B A LL A fter initial training and the first match under our belt we were confident o f doing well in the overall competition.

Unfortunately Kelly, our star hope and team psychologist, went into early retirement but remained on the sidelines helping us along. A special mention must go to the efforts of Sandra who played consistently well throughout the season.

Regular team members. Lea, Zena, Teresa, Anna, Karen, Naomi and Liisa, played on valiantly despite ensuing loses.

Thank you to those who helped us out on the nights when numbers were down, and to all supporters. Overall we de­ feated three colleges and finished fifth in the competition — so not a bad e ffo rt team!

While cold nights, hostile crowds and monster first serves might appeal to the masochistic streak in any budding tennis player, I think I could be safe in assuming that the close o f the men's tennis competition was met w ith some relief among those o f us who participated. Attem pting to put racquet to ball w ith only a limited degree o f success match after match does tend to become a drag.

The season's high spots were, fo r I.H., the colourful band o f faithfuls who, as w illingly as expected under the circumstances, trotted down fo r their spots o f tennis for six weeks between July and September.

Seeing the ambitious gleam in Treasurer Flynn's eyes as he pounced around the court relentlessly makes up for never having seen 'Psycho'. Adrian 'Ice Borg' Ram's efforts w ill be remembered fo r the detached gaze which accom­ panied him into all his matches. Like MçEnroe and his­ trionics, Adrian is not Ram w ithout his gaze. Tribute must be extended to Dave Manusell and his trusty vehicle, both so popular on Thursday nights. Dave must often wonder why he is such a great guy. Thus the team stalwarts.

Thanks must also go to those who played when called upon, often at short notice, to Steve McKinstry, who more than once ungrudingly left the Two Step and assignments; to Cody, who once even made it to courtside by 10pm; and finally, to Jim Henry, who recovered from a painful wound sustained mid-year to play gallantly against King's.

Great tennis is in store for 1983. Think o f the charm and verve you could encounter w ith so little effort on Thursday nights at the beginning of second semester.

See you there and viva I.H. Thomas Lee

WOMEN'S TENNIS

It is w ith incredible d ifficu lty that I w rite this report.

Apart from the fact that the light is out, you see, our feats of bravery and skill are indescribable. If you really want to know the truth, they were non-existent. We train­ ed (not at all). We played like men possessed (by alcohol).

In short, we d id n 't do very well.

But what o f the cricket?! Our cricketers trained like demons and played at far above their best. The volleyball team salutes you Sirs.

Anyway getting back to volleyball — the hardcore of our team did develop their skills somewhat over the period and w ith Jim, Simon, Steve McKinstry, Darren and Greg Seeley and Greg Groves rejoining next year we can hope fo r bigger and better things. (The preceding paragraph was a paid announcement and does not necessarily reflect the views o f the writer!)

There Isn't really much to say as far as Women's tennis is concerned this year. Because our team only played twice, we had little time to learn a few essential skills, and as a very unfortunate result of this, our great poten­ tial went unnoticed.

We shan't mention the scores as they may prove to be a little embarrassing. Nevertheless, let's thank all those who participated, especially the volunteers who set out to defend our pride, having never been near a racket in their life before. And they never ceased to smile e ith e r. . .

It is certain that we would have done much better had the timetable been different. Most o f the dates were set for early Saturday mornings which were preceded by even earlier ball celebrations. One hardly feels like a good game of tennis after having danced all night. And yet, Karen Chapman did this twice! Let's hope that more sensible timetables w ill be chosen next year. Meanwhile, concentrat­ ing on some much needed training w ouldn't be a bad idea!

MALE ATHLETICS

FEMALE ATHLETICS

As the sun dawned in aztec splendor over the somewhat oriental spires o f International House a hushed quiet lay like a thick blanket on I.H.'s would-be champions, ready to mount their chariots o f fire on the road to vic­ to ry at the I.C.C. athletics.

The day was Saturday 11th o f September, our first warrior was to enter the arena at high noon. The event — the mens long jump; the competitor — Femi Odediran, he is an ex-Nigerian Universities champion sprinter and gave I.H. a third in the Long Jump and ran a speedy first leg in the 4 x 100 and finished the day w ith an almost as fast third leg in the 4 x 400 relay.

Next up was the mens discus where I.H.'s answer to Daly Thompson (Michale Young, in case you guessed wrongly) gave us a fourth. Micheál went on to win the 100 and continued his one man onslaught on I.C.C. atheltics w ith a second in the javelin, first in the 4 x 100 relay.

Well done!

Peter Hollowday entered the arena to show us the truth strength o f his arms in the mens shot-put. Peter finished his day w ith a spirited run in the 1500.

David Maunsell got his spikes out of mothballs to run a strong 200 and a leg in the 4 x 100.

The triple-jum p was well tested by big Greg Groves who Followed up last year's performance.

The most thrilling event o f the day fo r I.H. was Neale Mulligan's mammoth e ffo rt in the 400m. Neale is not well known fo r his middle distance sprinting but on the day missed out on a first by a nose — not fo r lack o f effort; in fact he put so much effort into this run that he couldn't move fo r the next hour, let alone compete in the tw o other events he was scheduled for. Top e ffo rt Neale — hope to see more o f it.

The 4 x 100 relay team apart from those already mentioried included Peter Callaghan, a last minute entry due to Neale's collapse. Peter showed us the stuff a T.S.S. sprinter is made of. He supplemented an inherently top line relay team. Unfortunately, lack o f baton practise left us somewhat behind the field.

The final event fo r the day was the mens 4 x 400 relay, a tru ly grueling event. The team included David Thatcher, â natural runner; Femi Odediran; John Towler; and Andrew Walkden-Brown who also ran an excellent fifth in the 800m.

We came fourth over all, a good result, it could have been second or first but fo r a few o f the college's top athletes who couldn't compete because they were absent or injured.

Thanks to all the competitors that stoop up to my con­ stant nagging throughout the day and to the spectators (some o f whom found themselves competing) fo r coming down to cheer on the competitors. Good luck next year!

Anthony Finch Roving Sports Reporter

It was a very exhausting day fo r the few I.H. sportswomen who courageously 'volunteered' their services in the A th ­ letics team.

Naomi Beasley put on a fantastic show o f her expertise in the Hurdles and High Jump, not to mention the 200m, Shotput and 4 x 100m relay. Karen Chapman too, was hard at it all day w ith the 800m, 1500m, Long Jump and Relay.

Congratulations must go to our star fo r the day, Sandra Achurch, who gained 1st place in both discus and javalin, securing a place fo r herself in the I.C.C. Athletics team.

Alison Overland put in a big run in the 100m and the Relay. Anna Castellano was there, doing her b it in the Relay too.

Many thanks to Naomi, Karen, Sandra, Alison and Anna fo r their mighty effort. Thanks also to the spectators who gave up an afternoon's work to cheer us on.

KAREN CHAPMAN

SOFTBALL 1982 saw the introduction o f Softball to the Women's ICC sporting line-up, fo r a trial period o f tw o years. If after such time it is found to be popular enough, it w ill then become an official ICC sport.

As usual I.H. found d iffic u lty in rounding up enough players to take the field, eventually recruiting some girls who had never played before, others who hadn't played fo r years and even Cath from the kitchen rolled up fo r a game.

Of course a great time was had by all, and at least we have gained the' experience we need to take home the cup in 1983!

Many thanks to all the girls who gave up their Satur­ day afternoons to play, to the few enthusiastic spec­ tators and to those guys who were more than w illing to make like women and stand in when we were desperate.

W O M E N 'S N E T B A L L Karen took the centre pass for International House and it was received by our attack players, Barbara and Kerry.

Then the pressure was on Robyn with the help of Mana and Chris in the goal circle to score. Y E A H !

Our defence players, Narelle, Sandra, and Jo-Anne were zealous in their efforts. Meanwhile, Naomi and Liisa as our goal defenders, were enough to deter the lust of the oppo­ sition.

Sounds good in theory, but in reality we didn't fare nearly as well — it was a really enjoyable season though. Thank you ladies for playing. Thanks also to the spectators, may they keep on coming.

B IL L IA R D S / S N O O K E R R E P O R T Yet again this year, the I.H. Billiards & Snooker Team sal­ lied forth on a Tuesday night to show their talents and strength on the green cloth. A s in past years, they return­ ed (more often than not) beated but undaunted.

Once more the cry goes out — 'If we had a big table, and could practise . . .' — a big 'if'. Under the pressures of close competition, we were unlucky not to draw more than the one match we did (against Emmanuel). Indeed, we should have won at least two, on the standards shown, but lack of practise yet again proved our unfailing enemy.

Bright spots of the year were Chooky (Peter Reimers) who showed that smoking when under pressure doesn't calm you down; Footy (Peter Shoyer) who showed that drinking to calm the nerves doesn't affect your eyesight, it was just that 'I'm a loser'; Simon Thatcher who rivals Alex 'Hurricane' Higgins as the fastest man around the table, and who actually won one game; and Rod Betts who won five out of six and will push himself for ICC (and get it) at the final convenor's meeting.

So, next year, rally to the call! Let the sound of balls colliding gently be music to thine ears! Y ou too could play Bllliards/Snooker for I.H. (And thanks for dragging some supporters along, Chooky.)

Convenor: Rod Betts

G O LF REPO RT Although I.H. came fifth in I.C.C. golf this year, it does not reflect our performance. That fifth could have easily been third. Leo's just pipped us with their last player and Emmanuel were only just in front of them.

It does not also say that David Maunsell, ('Daggy' as we affectionately call him — he arrived twenty minutes late on the day) shot a fine round of seventy-six to be equal best for the day and hence an I.C.C. rep for 1982. John Towler faltered on the final three holes and had a dis­ appointing eighty-seven. The only two good balls he hit was when he stepped on a rake in one of the bunkers.

Rodney Betts, Ivor Cribb, and Peter Shoyer were our next three players and all were huddled just under a century, at ninety-seven, ninety-eight, and ninety-nine respectively.

Their courage was only matched by the ill wind that blew against them.

Simon Thatcher, made a determined effort for the Bradman Trophy. He shot a staggering one hundred and twenty-six, two short of the pace, of one hundred and twenty-eight. Alas, all that practice on Friday afternoon paid off. Oh, what a buggar!

Take note of our two caddies for the day — Peter Reimers and Anthony Finch. They came. They carried our clubs. They encouraged us when we were down. And they advised us when we needed it. Their task often goes un­ noticed and unthanked. So I thank them. May we have six just like them next year.

— John Towler

SOCIAL REPORT October is traditionally a quiet month fo r social activities, mainly due to the fact that some conches start study early.

Anyway there were tw o main events — the first o f these being the 'Welcome Back from the Games' BBQ and Volley­ ball, on the 10th, a Sunday night affair.

The big event o f October was the I.C.C. Ball on 15th October. Attendance is deemed by some to be mandatory and I am pleased to report that no-one from I.H. was ar­ rested, although Spike (Mullie) did his best w ith his lightfingered approach to the evening . . .

The 1983 I.C.C. Social Convenor, one Mr Ron Chang, really got into the spirits o f the evening and in the words of our Social Convenor, was 'a b it pissed'. Say no more . ..

SOCIAL COMMITTEE

VP REPORT During second semester, we had four Sunday Dinners all together. In August, we had the Malaysian Dinner.

Many thanks to Bee Sim Ong and helpers fo r cooking.

In September, Arun, Rao and Prahbu got together and cooked an Indian Dinner fo r the collegians. In October, we had tw o Sunday Dinners to finish o ff the year w ith — one was the Thai Dinner and the other other was the European Dinner. Prakob, Kriengsak and Kobkaew along w ith some friends from outside college prepared the Thai Dinner. For the European Dinner, Magda cooked Polish food, Anna Castellano, French and Li isa and Lea cooked Finnish food.

A ll the Sunday Dinners have been free o f charge to students as it supplemented the normal dinner. The cost has been minimal — on the average, each dinner cost the Student Club about $30 to put on.

Finally, I would like to end here by thanking everyone who was involved in helping out in the preparation, cooking and washing up in this year's Sunday Dinners.

To his close friends, Wilfred is famous for his inability to drink half a pot without falling off his chair, and a rather strange habit of washing his hair before each meal.

All the best Margaret — it's been fun for all of us.

THERESA J. LACAVA We all knew that our new American Rotary Scholar had arrived when from the fifth floor o f G-tower, we clearly heard her ask an ‘old’ I.H. student; 'Where am I supposed to put all this crap?', and she gestured at her luggage. With the advent o f winter, the mosquito-blotched legs were sheathed in those all too familiar black and yellow sweat­ pants. Certain gentlemen (not to mention names like Rao or Maunsell) had to keep a firm hold on their football jerseys and sweatshirts. Memories that we w ill cherish of her, are meals heavily laced w ith garlic, festooned w ith spaghetti and invariably cooked for twice the number of guests expected. But, most memorable o f all w ith be her contribution to world health in getting Rao to increase his weight — by 200 gms!

We shall be missing you next year, Theresa. As you would say, 'We've had a ball' together. You've taught us a lot (in eluding some not always acceptable American vocabulary) and there hasn't been a dull moment. So, we wish you every thing that is good fo r 1983, and, do take some o f this inter­ national spice back w ith you and talk o f 'thongs, conching and stubbies'.

Her informative talks on Tanzania and other parts o f the world foreign to we, who have travelled little, w ill long be remembered. Mushoka departs from here at the end o f this year to take up a position as a town planner. I am sure college w ill miss one o f its finest ladies.

However, we had to explain that college food wasn't exactly typical Australian food. Good luck.

JOHN TOWLER John, right from his early childhood days, was destined for the events o f 1982. John suffered, as most people do, a fairly non-existent early education, and after a regulationlength stay at secondary school he took the big step o f going to Uni. A fter one year o f Arts, John realised that his future did not lie in w riting bullshit, but testing it calculating it, and plotting it — he courageously switched to Engineering despite his reputation o f being an 'ex-Art-fart'.

During his stay at I.H., John has become well-known for his non-racial approach to many things, including sport — he enjoys tormenting little black balls just as much as little white ones. However, this year has become the climax of his student days. In fact, this year could be rewritten as 'the Awakening o f John Towler', fo r after some 21% years (and some historians may well blame this on a rather sterHe suburban upbringing in years to come), John finally lost (long pause) the habit o f wearing white underwear. . .

THE YEAR REPORTS SPORT It is w ith some little regret and much relief that I w rite this, my last sports report fo r the year.

This year in sport I.H. performed somewhat better than last. Particularly in cricket where we came second in the competition — on the last ball in the last over o f the last match, by one run. Such an excellent result was not due to extraordinary natural skill or luck — it was due to dedica­ tio n and motivation, both o f which are the key to success in anything and are what the people o f I.H. severely lack at the moment w ith respect to sport.

Next year, I hope to see even more o f an improvement in the sporting side of college — I'll do my best to help the team.

I've enjoyed much o f my year as sports convenor especi­ ally participating in and spectating at the various sports.

My job would have been infinitely harder if it were not fo r the patient help of the individual convenors and ines­ timable support o f those th irty odd males out o f a possible 100 that did in fact participate in sport this year.

I wish Andrew Walkden-Brown the best of luck next year and w ill always be ready to give him plenty of free advice.

PHARMACY REPORT I am indeed honoured to write this, the 1982 College Pharmacist Report. It has been my privilege fo r the last twelve months to supply all eager males w ith the devices o f their choice.

There were many enjoyable moments as College Phar­ macist, but I cannot mention them all. However, I feel I cannot let this report pass w itho ut telling you all o f one o f my past pharmacist experiences. In my first week of office, I was told by old collegians to stock up. A t this point o f time I had no idea that the college pharmacist was in charge of the supply o f 'wanger jackets'. So as a typical naive fresher I thought I'd pop down to the nearest chemist and buy tw o dozen disprins, ten toothbrushes and a bottle of Vitamin C's. As I was about to make my journey, Chookie jumped into the car and said that he'd like to come w ith me — fo r what reason I could not imagine. I was enlightened half way to my chosen supplier, w ith the news that my job was not to perform a run-of-the-mill good Samaritan service, but to control contraception for what I thought was a sex-crazy college.

On entering the chemist I immediately attacked the counter, (Chookie hot in pursuit) w ith a sixteen-year-old Goddess serving. Before my courage failed me I promptly asked her to display to me the entire range of condoms available. She seemed more embarrassed than me as she slowly and reluctantly placed thirteen brands o f 'wet checks' on the counter. From over my right shoulder a voice came 'Which ones do you recommend, love?' (thanks, Chookie). She stood stunned, pleading ignorance. My assist­ ant and I quickly ordered four dozen Tahitis and tw o dozen Rough Riders and left. The year was o ff to a great start.

With the arrival o f first semester exams, a certain A tower resident banged on my door at 2.11am and w ith a pained look said 'Can you help' — I reached fo r my bottom drawer. From all reports he had a great time — pity she didn't!

The first three months were to say the least, pointless and I honestly believed I was living w ith 150 virgins (sorry Foggy — 149). However, w ith the coming o f winter it was obvious that the girls weren't satisfied w ith their warm beds and stocks began to sell fast.

During the winter, eight dozen were sold and this in itself I believe made my service worthwhile. Pity the girls went o ff the heat in summer again.

Throughout the year, a number o f approaches were adopted to promote sales. The tw o posters prepared served their purpose, in that at least people realized I was.not just stunningly handsome, but I was w illing to help those guys less fortunate (sorry M att!).

A raffle was conducted in order to raise finance fo r the new stock. 'Bad Head' won the lucky prize o f a 'Tahitian' gift pack (sorry about the pinholes, Barmsie).

To all o f you who used my services this year, I thank you and I'll buy you both a drink sometime. I can't let this report pass w ithout thanking all the girls on campus, for w ithout you my business was nothing. See you next year — be good, or if not, be good at it.

1982 ENVIRONMENTAL COM. REPORT

C U LIN AR Y REPORT During first semester, the Culinary Committee conducted a poll to investigate the residents' opinions o f college food.

Out o f the 150 polled, we received 79 replies — a big 'Thank You' to those residents fo r taking an active interest in college and spending the time to fill in our question­ naire.

RESULTS OF POLL Breakfast: This was considered the best meal o f the day.

However, there was a plea fo r an increased cereal range and fo r more variation in the juice we drink. Some also stated that the bacon was too greasy.

Lunch: A major adjustment required fo r lunch meals is an increase in the variety o f salads available. (The resi­ dents want more than just lettuce, tomatoes, beets and potato salad every day o f the week?) Plus, many fe lt the salad table should be refilled to ensure there is food left fo r those residents finishing at 1.00pm.

Dinner: Once again there is a need fo r more variety. Many o f the residents would like fish more often and prefer­ red fried rice over plain rice or potatoes. An overwhelm­ ing majority (73 out o f 79) favour scoops o f ice creanr over blocks o f ice cream.

RESULTS OF REPORT A fter issuing the report, the quality o f food did improve.

Breakfast was heralded w ith the introduction o f raisin bread and some variation in juice, Also, a few new com­ binations were prepared fo r lunch and dinner (hot dogs, carrot & raisin salad etc.) However, maintenance o f better and satisfying meals depends on more communication between the kitchen staff and residents — not only to express displeasure but especially to give praise and helpful hints.

Culinary Cpmmittee

Fundamentally, what this year's Environmental Com­ mittee has done is a lot o f thinking. In order to view our activity in the appropriate light let me stress that rather than being a mob o f grubby, thoughtless urchins with shovels, we: Wilfred Brimblecombe, Elaine Chan, Derek Frail, Alison Overland, Jenny Paay and David Thatcher are indeed an elite group o f intellectuals. We are, in fact, a subgroup o f the Greater Metropolitan Theosophical Society, where theosophy is defined as 'the attainment o f knowledge o f Gos (or the environment) by direct in­ tu itio n spiritual ecxtasy'.

With the Environmental Committee and its aims seen in this context I'm sure that all College residents w ill see that there was no real necessity to actually, physically have meetings, or produce any concrete results, these being o f the material world and hence unworthy o f too much con­ sideration.

We've had a lot o f 'spiritual ecstasy and direct intuition' in our capacities this year as members o f this select group.

Long have been the night hours when we've tossed and turned restlessly in our beds, plagued by the responsibil­ ities o f our position and pondering the true meaning o f the word environment and the word committee. We've been particularly keen on environment.

Near the end o f our term I'd like to say that we, collect­ ively speaking (mass mind communication and that sort of thing) now understand the secrets behind the cryptic term 'environment'. In all sincerity I don 't feel I could do justice to the concep in the 200 words I've been allotted so I'd like to recommend that those who wish to pursue this topic further should themselves fight fo r a position on the En­ vironmental Committee next year, and experience their own spiritual ecstasy.

I'd like to stress that any slanderous claims o f inactiv­ ity on our behalf can be refuted by the simple realization that we are basically a very conservative group. Not fo r us the slogans, loud cries and m ilitancy o f your typical pseduo-quasi-radical type mob. However, we are not w ith ­ out our own form o f quiet fervour and enthusiasm. We believe we've kept the best interests o f collegians at heart in not changing any part o f the college environment too quickly. We realised sudden changes would be most dis­ concerting, and disconcertment amongst college residents was something we strove to avoid at all costs.

I must point out that we did indeed feel moved to spend an afternoon measuring the dimensions o f those empty shapes in the back car-park. A ll was going well, but heated indecision arose when we tried to decide just where we'd go from here.

Should we leave the shapes empty, or fill them up? If they were to be filled then w ith what: concrete, sand, flower petals, gravel or broken stubbies. And did we want to stick in busts o f past Senior Residents, abstract con­ ceptual structure ('May Brotherhood Previal' made from cutlery and bicycle wheels) or just garden beds? What a quandary.

I'd like to suggest to next year's lucky members o f the Environmental Committee that they might like to pass around a survey to ascertain general college sentiment about this carpark issue. Perhaps, too, they'd like to do something about the lighting situation in the Bar-B-Que area and fix up the gardens at the base(s) o f the towers.

What more can I say, expect: 'EN VIR O N M EN TALCO M M ITTEE FOREVER' — Alison Overland 49

CELLAR REPORT "D rin k, Drink and be M erry" — Boris P. Epstein III.

The I.H. Cellar Club went out o f its way this year to sponsor many a budding dipsomaniac. A fter a lengthy clean up at the start o f the year I managed to find a copy of the constitution, but quickly lost it. However, the aims o f the I.H.C.C. is perhaps best set out by the tradi­ tional functions o f the Club.

This is to provide its members w ith the best and worst of the world's alcoholic smorgasboard as they may see fit.

Such heartwarming brews Were often procured at tw o or thee in the morning. Aiding me very enthusiastically this year were Cellar Masters, Liisa Isokangas and Chooky Reimers who put in many a long hour. Stand-ins who help­ ed themselves, as well as others were Peter Callaghan, Darren Anderson and Mark Godfrey.

It was this year, my sad duty to take a cellar key from Roscoe fo r the final time. 'Scoe has been a Cellar Master since Moses wore nappies and has done the Club proud service,. How many beers he has sold we w ill never know, butj(vp,,C{jp„be sure that he drank at least half o f them. .^cy^eV this year was a great success. It d id n't rain, w^.Bga'qagefl to get ice, only a few beers could not be pur­ chased “and there were plenty in the Garden to taste our fare. In all, some twenty-seven different beers from coun­ tries as far away as Cyprus, Japan, Canada and Sydney were served and eagerly consumed. It is in part our profits from this effort that made the purchase of our first new fridge possible.

To those who may scoff at the purposes of our Club I leave the words o f tw o famous men: " I drink to make other people interesting" — George Nathan.

"Always remember that I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out o f me" — SirWinson Churchill.

SHOP REPORT Using a wrench I managed to get the shop open in about the second week o f the first semester. Using a pricing policy suited to these times o f inflationary problems I had a nice little holiday to New Zealand between the semesters — thanks very much for your contributions.

I've tried to keep up the supply of corn chips and Red Winfield but could never get any Chicos (sorry Jessica).

D idn't have any mice probelms this year, but ants in the Cheezels were a much needed protein supplement to the college diet.

More seriously I've tried to leave the shop in much the same position now as it was at the beginning o f the year.

There doesn't seem to be any reason to make huge profits.

The profit has fairly well balanced against losses incurred in breakage or simply going out o f date (and the occasional purchase of Keith and Peter on shop's behalf).

I've really enjoyed being shop keeper - it's great having your own key to g o ’to shop whenever you want — and I'd like to thank all those people who helped on shop during the semester, but especially Liisa for cleaning up the mess I leave in shop. Also I'd like to thank Anthony Finch, Peter Shoyer, Peter Callaghan and Keith Chandler fo r lend­ ing me their time and their cars to go out to Tickles and help me re-stock shop.

I hope you've all got what you wanted out o f shop and that you've found something to make your enforced diet at college a little more bearable.

PRESIDENT'S REPORT Last year during the annual General Meeting o f the Inter­ national House Students Club, the then President Bhajan Singh was critical of some members o f his general com­ mittee fo r their lack of e ffo rt during 1981. He reminded this year’s committee that they had a responsibility to the college, to work hard. How much influence Bhajan's words had I don't know, but I can’t express highly enough my appreciation and admiration for the efforts of the I.H. committees through 1982.

Most visibly perhaps because we see them at formal dinners each Monday evening, are the Social and Sports convenors. Naomi Beasley as Social Convenor, along with her committee, provided all of us w ith a hectic and varied social calendar. A wide range of tastes were catered for, ranging from Prince William's christinging party, to a ball­ room dance night, to film evenings for the not so energeti­ cally inclined.

I am indebted to our two sports convenors, Anthony Finch and Liisa Isokangas together w ith their committees, for their tremendous efforts during the year. Theirs is often a thankless task and I know their enthusiasm must have run low sometimes, especially when a sports team was one person short, and there was only five minutes until play was due to begin. I believe that a lot o f the credit for our success in some sports must go to these two people.

Other members of the I.H. committee are perhaps less visible, but have done fine jobs indeed. I would like to thank Ron Chang as Vice-President for the help he has given me throughout the year. His Sunday Suppers were tremendous and his phone duty roster was so good that somebody stole it as a souvenir. Ron's only fault Is that he plays lousy music at ungodly hours of the morning to get everyone out of bed fo r the college photo!

Martin Flynn, our Treasurer fo r 1982 deserves an enor­ mous vote of thanks fo r keeping the Student Club on budget throughout the year. In these Inflationary times he main­ tained your Student Club fees at the same level as 1981 and didn't cut back on club funding. He was even able to ex­ tract extra money out of that notoriously tight-fisted organi­ sation, Clubs and Societies.

Margaret Fong has done a superb job as Secretary. Writing letters, organising notices and generally helping w ith all sorts o f odd jobs is a task which goes largely unnoticed, but Margaret was always w illing to spare her time for these activities.

Organising Soiree is a formidable task. This year it was bigger and better than ever, and the credit must go to Kris Wellings and her Soiree committee. I can't thank them enough fo r the tremendous effort they put in the months leading up to Soiree and on the day itself. I had a terrific time and I haven't met anyone, either here at I.H. or from outside who didn't enjoy themselves, Adrian Ram and Peter Callaghan also deserve thanks for their role as Board o f Governors representatives. Lastly I would like to thank Jeff Keir, the Kanyana editor. When this report was w ritten, his job was by no means finished, but w ith the amount of enthusiasm, time and preparation Jeff has put into Kanyana so far, I'm sure our college magazine w ill be one of the best ever. Lastly, I would like to convey my gratitude to everyone here who has helped during the year, be it at a sports or social event, Soiree or at any other time.

There has been some criticism of some people in college fo r the lack of participation in college activities this year.

Well, all I can say is that the people running these activities that is the Student Club General Committee, are not mind readers, they don't know what activities you like unless you tell them! I have tried to maintain a relaxed atmosphere at college this year, in the hope that people would feel free to come forward and suggest new ideas.

Lastly, let me congratulate 1983 President Kris Wellings and her general committee. I know you w ill all give them full support next year. Thanks once again to everyone for your help in 1982 and if anyone here is ever in my neighbourhood in future, please give me a call.

Take care, ______________ PETER HOLLOWAY
