A shattering decision
What A Shattering decision was the Government's in deciding to remain neutral in the recent Middle East crusade!
It was early April (such a long time ago) this year when the Deputy Prime Minister told an SCM meeting. "The idea of neutrality is alien to New Zealand's whole concept of her place in the world."
But then of course what have we to do with those Middle East sands—drenched with Kiwi blood?
Dilution
A Recent survey reveals that increased water content in mashed spuds is a nationwide trend. Earlier it was thought to be localised, and that other people used milk when mashing the delicacy.
Torro again
It's Hard to know how he does it. Torro scored again on Saturday. Now, now, it was at rugby. An average of three points a game is doing pretty well. He attributes his success to eating dried pumpkin seeds.
Reeking orators
Oh, English, how thou art ravished. What more assaults will these Plunket Medal Orators reek on you?
Soap Box Pimps untutored in the knowledge that he has the greatest command of language who keeps his mouth shut.
Inane comments
One Thing is to be learned from segregated audiences at Ulysses. Such a false atmosphere is only an encouragement to the elements that it is designed to counter. In such an atmosphere the inane comments flowed freely and loudly.
Nationals outnumbered
Remarkable thing about the National Club's "minicongress' last weekend was the people who attended. On the Saturday there were about 20, mostly National Party supporters.
On Sunday, however, the number had dwindled to about 10 and Party supporters were out numbered. In fact a well known Trotskyist chaired the less session while Alister Taylor was giving a critique of conservatism.
Other speakers were the Hon T. P. Shand, Mr. Murphy, a political science lecturer, and Terry Power, a school teacher.
New line
Notice the Chairman Mao badges floating around lately. Apparently the Geography department is in business. The badges cost students 1/-.
New left
Recent political events in Greece will be this Friday's topic for the new left meeting. Speaker is Dimitrios Gounelas a political science student at Victoria.
Those wishing to attend are advised to go to 190 Lambton Quay at 8pm.
Uncle Chris weds
Usually reliable sources indicate former VUWSA president, Chris Robertson, (commonly known as Uncle Chris) ordered top hats for his recent wedding. It is not known whether Mr. Robertson is trailing behind the times or creating a new trend.
Student spelling
Who said students could spell. The public were treated to a special demonstration of student spelling in the main foyer of the SUB last Tuesday.
Somehow the word accommodation was spelt in three different ways— accommodation, accommoation and accomodation. Just shows why we must educate the public.
I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.—Thomas Jefferson.
The man's desire is for the woman, but the woman's desire is rarely other than for the desire of the man.—Coleridge
What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder. God will take care of that.—Shaw.
