Impromptu Debates

3. That red bluegums should be planted to further the White Australia Policy.

Mr: McCreary's speech was a Rhapsody in Blue and just about every other colour of the rainbow. Claiming that red bluegums were sticky, and barking up the wrong tree was a bad thing, he decided to leaf it alone and not go through the awful messy business again. Cries of "eucalyptus you."

The motion was carried.

6. That an Executive, grant should be made to provide liquor in the Gym.

Mr. O'Flynn was in reminiscent mood and told an amusing story of the days when men with torches prowled round the Gym, to surprise unwary tipplers. A student dashing round the Gym. with a bottle of beer under each arm. a man with a torch in hot pursuit, and a well-known member of the Professorial Board running third.

10. That familiarity breeds.
