Do the Catering Manager and 'students committee' work in collusions?

I am relieved to think that I might not be hung drawn and quartered for my comments on the cafe seeing as how the visitor from NSW added his voice to mine. But no one never knows.

I myself have eaten at the campus cafeteria at the NSW University at Kensington and agree that their meals are better than Victorias.

Perhaps that is because Australia has a vociferous migrant population determined for their rights.

Our NSW visitor's comments appear to have been edited unless he was blind and did not visit the privileged class cafe on the second floor, I suspect he may have been bribed to say nothing in his article about the class and money distinction between the upper cafe which is reserved for the big shots with money (and which is invariably half empty) and the grossly crowded lower cafe.

By the way I suggest as a further economy measure that the Cafeteria Manager dispense with knives, folks and spoons and simply serve up a really proletarian dinner for the lower class poorer students wrapping die fish and chips (without vegetables of course, by courtesy of Watties) in old newspaper. The students then can just throw the wrapper in waste bins and this will save paying staff to clear up.

The money thus saved together with the students Union contributions each student has to make, can then be accumulated to give a really fine dinner in the upper floor class cafe for the university's own employees and visitors and big shots.....

I think the Asian students especially will like eating the rice-based meals which have been put on especially for their benefit with their fingers or perhaps with disposable pohutukawa leaves to save expense.

With the stashed up ten dollar bills, the Catering Manager and the President of the students committee can go into a huddle and divide the proceeds undisturbed.

It is sickening that while a character regularly gets up on a chair with a loud hailer in the lower caf (never in the upper caf of course) to harangue the lower class students about landlords rents and marching on Parliament, they are being exploited and didled by their own University union in their own backyard. This is too much; like Orwell's 1984—double talk and double thinking.

P.S. Why all the bilge about Solzhenitsyn-all we need to know is that Kirk himself said that Solzhenitsyn declined to live in NZ as he found New Zealanders morally cowardly. That should go into banner headlines.
