Tournament Responsibilities

Tournament Responsibilities

Attempting to reproduce the tones of a headmaster is difficult. It is more difficult when you realise that it is addressed to a supposedly adult audience, but with the disgrace at Dunedin last year still vivid in my memory, it is with sincerity—that I implore you to behave yourself, The connatations of the words "good behaviour" may be with secondary school discipline but the concept is not. Strange though it may seem, we, the emancipated, are still expected to be capable of producing good behaviour; and though the Dunedin seems to contradict my optimism it is not only possible, but clearly evidenced elsewhere at University gatherings. For the irresponsible element (revolting phrase but useful and very descriptive) I can only offer the advice, Stay At Home! For the remaining majority, please remember that the tolerance of civilians cannot be relied upon to any great extent, so treat your billetors (of which the majority will be non-Varsity), City Officials, and Organizers, always, with consideration.

Incidentally, don't forget to give your vociferous support to other sports; your presence will be a great incentive to them.
