of

wish
to
draw

allegation
being

at l

in

by

Zenith

Rece
ntly I
was
a
pproached
in
an
inner
city
street
by
a
well
-
ed
uca
ted
fel
!ow
who
i
ndicated
that
he
was
conducting
a
poll
to
as
c
ertai
n
publ
ic
attitudes
tn·
voluntary
unionism.
In
the
course
of c
on
ve
rs
atio
n
he
volunteered
t
he
information
that
he
was
a
s
tu
dent
of
ZAP
and
proceeded
to
enounce
their
pr
e
dictable
do
g
ma
on
t
he
evils
of
compulsory
unionism.
No
w, I
pride
myself
thaf.l
am
both
fair
and
open-minded,
so
I
h
ea
rd
him
out
,
Eventually
he
s.
teered
the
subject
to
the
influence
of
the
Soc
i
alist
Unity
party,
which
in
his
consideration
exists
so
l
el
y
for
t
he
purpose
of
doing
to
New
Zealand
what
Charles
does
to
Diana.
.
WeU
, I
was
comfortable
with
his
views
to
that
point;
but
then
he
made
t
wo
assertions
which
needled
my
tolerance,
as
follo
ws:
1.
A
ll
of
the
considerable
profit
generated
from
the
last
tour
of
N.Z
.
by

Moscow

was
donated

Public
Affairs
Meeting
A message to people involved in groups
concerned
with
Public Affairs related
activities.
I have organised a meeting
for
next
Tuesday
at
12.00
midday
for
a chance
to
discuss any
activities
that
groups
may
be planning, before
the
exam craze begins.
It
would
probably
be a
good
idea
if
we
all
met
in
the
exec.
boardroom
but
we
could hold
the
meeting
in a ·
more
relaxing environment,
depending
upon
which
rooms are free.
,
Next
week
is 10 years since the coup
d'etat
in
Chile
and
on
Thursday
at
1.00
p.m.,
Jorge
Villazon
who
was
living there
at
the
time will be
coming
along
to
varsity
to
speak.
Other
campaigns
coming
up
include
work
on
stopping
youth
rates
from
becoming
a reality and
I
think
Amnesty
International has a
focus
week
too.
By
next
week
I should have the anti-racism,
anti-nuclear
and
Amnesty
International stickers
ready
too.
Hopefully
other
people besides myself
will
be
able
to
turn
up
to
the
meeting
who
were at
August
(NZUSA)
Council, so
that
people
who
weren't
there can
get
an idea
of
what
campaigns
are being planned
this
term
etc.
I hope
that
each
group
will
be able
to
get
at
least one person along
to
the meeting.
Looking
forward
to
seeing you all
next
Tuesday at 12.00 in
the
exec. boardroom.

The University of Canterbury Drama
Society presents No
Orchids
for
Miss
Blandish
as
the major production
for 1983 on Friday September 16th,
Saturday September 17th, Thursday
September 22nd, Friday September 23rd
and Saturday September. 24th,
at
the
Ngaio Marsh Theatre,
11am
Road,
Christhcurch.
This play
by
Robert David
MacDonald
is
a modern adaptation
of
James Hadley Chase's l 930's novel
of
the same name. Like
all
pf Chase's
novels it has a strong plot involving a
laconic hero, a beautiful heroine and the
usual gallery of grotesques ~omprising
the underworld demi-monde so beloved
of the author.
As
in all
of
his stories the motivating
impulse
is
the acquisition of a huge
amount of money
at
any cost.
No
Orchids
for
Miss
Blandish
is
James
Hadley Chase's most famous novel and
Robert David MacDonald has
translated it to the stage in a brilliant
and uncomprising way which preserves
the original flavour
of
the story.
Although Chase at his publisher's request
reworked his masterwork in the early
60's, the play retains the original setting
and provides
us
with both a superb
mixture of the 30's and 40's American
thriller genre of films like
Farewell
My
Lovely
and
The
Big
Sleep
and
an
inescapable immediacy.
The
greed,
vanities, fears
anct
violence of the
characters are counterpointed with a
~
~
cynical humour which moves the play
along
at
a fast pace.
~
Miss
Blandish·, heiress • to the
~
Blandish billions,
is
kidnapped on
\Yo
• her 21st birthday
by
two small time
~
hoods for a valuable necklace and
is
~
then imprisoned by the Grissom gang
~
headed by the infamous Ma and her son,
I Slim.
Fenner, a seedy private detective,
is
0 • hired by the sinister private secretary of
~ "
Mr
Blandish to investigate the ·matter.
~
\ Fenner
is
a su~vivor,
and
ne~otiates the
~
dangers of takmg on the Gnssom gang,
Mr
Lucie the private secretary, and his
~
own strong desire for justice to bring the
~
play to
an
explosive conclusion and
~
provide theatre goers with
an
experience
~
they will retain for a long tiine!

No

may find the language offensive.

Robert David MacDonald
is
a
director for the Glasgow Citizen's
Theatre, an established company in.
Great Britain, noted for its bold
experimentation in theatre.
No
Orchids
for
Miss
Blandish
and
Chinchilla,
the
story of Nijinsky and Diaghilev, are the
two most famous works to be presented
by the company in the last three years.
They both enjoyed great success in the
U.K.
No Orchids was· premiered
in
New
Zealand
at
Downstage Theatre in
Wellington three years ago and
the Canterbury University production
will
be
its second presentation
in
this
country.
No
Orchids
for
Miss
Blandish
is
being
directed by Stuart Devenie who
is
currently free-lancing after nearly three
years as the Court Theatre's Associate •
Director.
He
has had a wide experience
in
Theatre, Radio and Television both as
an actor and director. He has directed
plays ranging from
Amadeus
to
Hote
Water
for the
Court
and has performed
in
the
Miser,
Macbeth
and
Foreskin's
Lament.
Recently Stuart has directed
Virginia,
acted
in
Noises
Off
and
Sherlock
Holmes
and can be seen
regularly on MacPhail and Gadsby as
Fraser Dick in "Dick
of
the Week".
Stuart
is
delighted to have been
offen~d
the chance to direct this play
as
since
first reading it he has been waiting for an
opportunity to do it. He
is
most excited
about the production which promises to
be one of
his
best and unfortunately
his
last in Christchurch for some time,
because he has been appointed Artistic
Director of Centrepoint Theatre
in
Palmerston North.
The
University of Canterbury Drama
Society
is
privileged and excited to stage
Stuart Devenie's farewell production.

The
current visit of the U.S.S. Texas
is
a
cause for continuing comment
bY.
most
people and some action by a
few
. This
comment and concern
is
motivated by the
(jeep and disturbing issues that such a visit
raises, issues with social, political and
theological implications for
all
people.
To
determine the need for, and design of, a
Christian response to this visit we need to
have some appreciation of the implication for
our lives of the following factors concerning
the U.S.S. Texas.
I.
The
U.
S.S.
texas
is
a nuclear powered
• (two fission reactors) and possibly nuclear
armed warship.
2.
It
is
a "possibly" nuclear armed warship
because the defence policy of the United
States
is
such that U.
S.
Navy procedure
is
not· to disclose to anyone which of its
warships
is
, or
is
not, carrying nuclear
weapons.
3.
The U.S.S. Texas
is
designed to be a
mobile platform from which to launch
nuclear armed missiles. It
is
not designed
to fit into a conventional war wetting, eve
though
it
does have a limited
cbnventional weapons system capability.
It therefore seems highly unlikely that
such a vessel would
be
on service
in
the
South Pacific
if
it
was not carrying
nuclear weapons.
4.
The
nuclear weapons, ehcih may or may
not
be
aboard the U.S.S. Texas have two
functions. They are designed to destroy
people, buildings, trees, animals. They
also pollute the environment
fo
r a
considerable period of time
foll
owing
detonation. In addition they a
re
supposed
to
act
as
deterrents. In as much as, two or
more powers posses sthem, a competition
for superiority ensues, and because
neither side ever obta
in
s tactical
superiority the race continues, as does the
consumption of energy and resources
necessary for the construction of such
nuclear
we
aponry. Whe
re
does a
ll
this
lead to?
These very bas
ic
fa
ctors lead
us
to a
sk
the
question, does the v
isit
of the U.S.S. Texas
aeed to evoke a
re
sponse from
us
be
cause of
our faith as Christian
s?

In the Pox Vopuli column this
week, Canta deals
with
an
increasingly significant sector
of
students -those paying their
way
through
'varsity
by
begging.
Our ace reporters, taking a break
from
the tedium
of
reporting aces
all
day, tracked
down
experienced
mendicant
M.
D.
Eccles in the
foyer
of
the Regent theatre.
Canta:
You're often seen here
in
the
theatre foyer.
Is
it
your
regular
pitch?
Eccles: No,
my
regular pitch is C
Sharp.
Ha
ha, little joke there.
Canta:
How
long have you been
begging?
Eccles: Crone the stows, it
must
be
two
years
now.
I was living on
the
bursary when first a student,
but
after a term or three
of
shoe-
string budgetting (that's where
you save 10c a week
for
several
months
until you have enough
to
buy
a
new
shoe-string), I
swallowed
my
pride -there was
nothing else
to
eat in the house -
and started
to
beg.
Canta: The benefits
of
begging
don't
seem
to
be widely
recognised -for instance, donors
can't
claim a tax rebate on any
alms they give ...
Eccles: . . . .
what
are they
whinging for? You
wouldn't
believe
how
much I pay in tax,
it
is
purely punitive, the. Inland Raven-
you
can't
be
made
to
understand
the overheads and underarms
of
professional mendicancy ...
Canta: . . . . . do you feel the
government should do more
to
encourage it?
Eccles: That's the silliest question
you've asked yet.
Of
course l·do.
We
beggars perform a valuable
social service, you know, tossing
us coins is definitely a therapeutic
experience for passers-by: they
can forget their completely
superfluous lives and revel for a
moment
in the
thought
that
there's
still someone
who
needs them.
Like having Telethon running
in
the streets all year round.
In fact therapeutic paupery has
reached the point where opposing
schools spring up. There's the
original or Freudian school, which
holds
that
the neuroses we set
out
to
cure results· from childhood
tubers repressed into
what
we call
the Individual Unconscience ....
The
Student
Job
Search people
were great, full
of
advice, like the
correct etiquette when offering
your
little sister
to
Korean seamen
on the Lyttleton waterfront, and
how
to
dress
for
maximum
soliciting success (it's no good
sprawling on your patch
of
pavement in a pin-stripe suit
for
instance, donors aren't impressed
one bit).
"God knows it's cheap enough living here,
but
it
sure is depressing!"
·canta: Presumably when you say
;,We"
you mean you and your
tapeworm.
They gave me pamphlets on A
Healthy Diet and
How
to
Avoid It.
You have
to
work
really hard
at
that
mal-nourished look, you
know,
with
running ulcers and
bloody phlegm and gangrenous
fingers and all. Nor do you
want
your
cheeks flushed a healthy
pink;
that
worked fine in pr_
e-
antibiotic days when you could
claim
it
as
the hectic
of
galloping
consumption,
but
now
an
ashen
pallor is the thing. There's one
diet, I
found
it
in
the Anorexic's
Cookbook, where you can eat
as
much tinned food
as
you like.
But
you're
not
allowed a can-opener.
} ~

• .
Canta:
Do many
of
your friends
beg
as
well?
We
presume you have
friends.
Eccles: Sit on a brick, yes. All
my
mates had the same problems
making both ends meat and, being
almost
as
bright
as
myself, came
to
the same solution. Psycho

front
of
historical buildings,
getting
into
Japanese tourists'
photos, then demands money
from them
for
the privilege.
There's a
co1,1ple
of
shy anti-
social beggars I
know,
silly sods,
they miss the· best part
of
beggary
which is getting
to
meet people.
They tried hiding in a Cash-Flow
machine
but
couldn't
get in, so
now
they lurk under a storm drain
and
wait
for dropped pennies.
Canta: So you don't mind being a
social parasite.
Eccles:
Why
should
I?
There's
naught
wrong
with
parasitism,
Eccles: Beggars
of
the Jungian
school believe that alms-giving has
deeper roots than that, and
postulate the existence
of
a
Collective Unconscience.
It
is
a
physiological category, ·in .the
blood
as
it
were,
which
is not
to
say they lie there pleading
for
transfusions -that would be silly,
not
to
mention messy.
There's co-counselling, where
people take turns giving each other
money; non-directive begging
where you
don't
ask for any
particular amount; Primal Scream
Therapy (where you scream
"Primal!"
at skinflints
who
won't
cough up); group therapy....

goes on. If you
want
to
follow
the
debates between
all
these·
methods you should read the
·professional beggars' journals.
It would be good to have some
form
of
licensing, to maintain the
profession's standards and
ke
ep
charlatans. Every government-
certified beggar could be
recognised by the framed diploma
beside the collection hat. You'd
• have
to
pass exams.
Canta:
How
about funding?
Eccles: Ideally there would be
PEP
jobs, financed jointly by the
Labour Department and the
Department
of
Tourism, to train
young people
as
mendicants.
No
doubting it, it's a great tourist
attraction.

Zealanders will have to drop the
pretence
of
First World
membership, and face the fact
that
we're a third world nation
with
a
third world economy.
Even
the
political scene is turning gently
into
that
of
a Banana Republic,
except that bananas don't
grow
here, so since the main crop is
mutton
instead
it
would be fairer
to
call
it
a Republic
of
Sheep. And
what
do visitors expect
to
see
in an
undeveloped country?
"Local
Colour"
is what, quaint native
bazaars where they can haggle
with
the stall owners, rickshaw
rides, hand-turned pots at bargain
prices, and
of
course maimed blind
beggars
as
part
of
the whole
picture-skew scene.
Canta: You me
an
picturesque.
Eccles: Yes, like I said, picture-
skew.
We
should be luring tourists by
recapturing the Casablanca
atmosphere. You know, intrigues,
steamy romance, foreign agents in
morror shades skulking
in
the
corners
of
every bar under slowly-
spinning ceiling fans. There's a
problem in attracting foreign
agents
to
this god-forsaken scrag-
end
of
the globe, but once one or
two
are here, the rest will come
flapping over
to
see
what they're
up to.
Canta: Thank you M.D. Eccles,
and R.I.P.
Eccles: R.I.P.?
Canta:
Just
wishful thinking.

ONCE UPON A COUNCIL
At
8 o'clock on Saturday morning, August the 20th,
we
were
knocking on the door of Balcairn Hotel
in
Wellington. After
some time the door opened and a young man wearing only a
towel around his waist, mumbled something about having had a
late night, and no, ·Canterbury students weren't booked in
at
the hotel.
For
me, this was the beginning of
my
first NZUSA

After leaving our luggage with the Canterbury delegates who had bee·n put

conclusion that Wellingtonians must be the fittest people

recent unemployment campaign
which was seen by all as a great
success.
NZUSA
President, Robin
Arthur
, however, expressed concern
about
the lack of people working on
the activist level in campaigns.
General Vice-President, Roger
Tobin summed it up.
"Student Activism comes
in
waves, and has peaks and troughs,
just like for other progressive
movements. We just happen to be
in a low patch,
and
we
ought to gear
our
policies accordingly. The last
thing we need
is
to stop trying, or to
start blaming students." The lack of
student participation in national
-issues
is
not seen as an indication of
student apathy in all issues, as the
recent 'Texas' protests have proved.
The
unemployment problem
is
increasing and student action
is
being planned protesting the
impending threats of Youth Rates,
summer unemployment and at
other campuses, lack of housing.
Paulette Keating; the Education
and
Welfare Vice-President,
in
her
report quoted Lorna McLay, the
head of Auckland University
Councilling Service, to emphasise
the multitude of problems
we
face
as students. Ms McLay said
students "have time only to survive.
If
they're not financially hard up,
they're competing too hard to get
the best possible marks to help with
getting a job afterwards".
During one of the smoking breaks
in the afternoon, a leaflet was
distributed which caused an upset.
It
was titled, White
is
Rights!
Ru/est' 0!!0**, and subtitled,
Canterbury's
stand
on the Maori
Vice-President ... It listed dates and
events concerning the position and
included personal references to
members of our executive, later
refracted. It also singled out some
membeJ:S
as belonging to -that
old
saying -the "white, male, middle-
classish-Club''. The leaflet summed
up with 'Yet again UCSA lives up
to its old reputation of hating to
part with money, or
is
this only part
).
r,r,r racist, after all,
we
support a
part-time Maori
VP"
and "what's
easiest for us,
is
best for all".
Those who believed only a part-
time Maori Vice-President was
needed did so for different reasons
to those suggested
by
the leaflet.
Other National positions were
established
in
a three stage
system..... greater activity
at
campus level, then a part-time
national position before expanding
into a full-time position.
In his r~port, Robin Arthur
sai~
"without a strong political
and
financial commitment to such a
position
as
MVP
by
constituent
associations, the position will
become nothing more than the
modern equivalent of 'beads arid
blankets' and
will
hamstring the
work of both such an officer and the
association as a whole." There
appeared to
be
no dispute about the
need for the position, but
disagreement on the more effective
method of either a part-time or full-
time position.

Elections
Make
History
The
following night a full turn-
out
of delegates crammed together
to hear the election speeches, to ask
questions and to decide on the most
suitable candidates to
fill
the top
four positions of National Office.
Jessica Wilson was the only person
standing for the position of
president. She modestly told council
of her great list of qualifications.
She was questioned very little .....
most of the questions
were
humorous.
However Jessica was asked her
reasons for not supporting women's
autonomy. She answered that
although she could work under such
a structure, she felt that taking
decisions concerning women, from
men, could provide opportunity for
men to totally ignore the issues.
Constituent caucuses met
and
within record time, returned with
the decision. Next year's president
is
Jessica Wilson. .
The
following elections weren't as
straightforward. Two people stood
for the position of General Vice-
President, • Margie· Thompson
and
Malcolm MacLean.
Margie had limited experience in
student politics and the experience
and proved her to be competent
dedicated, concerned about students
and proficient
at
• communicating.
Her
opponent, Malcolm had five
year's involvement
in
student
politics
and
a vast knowledge
of
student affairs.
Both supported a Maori Vice-
President position while Margie, for
the same reasons . as Jessica, was
opposed to Women's Autonomy.
Margie Thompson was finally
elected to hold the 1984 office of
General Vice-President. It
is
my
belief the results of the election
failed to portray the evenness
fo
the
two candidates.
Education and Welfare Vice-
President, was next on the list and
Sarah (
Ses)
Salmond was the only
person contesting this position. Ses
is the present president of Massey
University, and she too could boast
a great list of qualifications. Once
again delegates from each university
met for some time..... finding
it
more difficult to think coherently
with the time drawing into the early
hours of the morning. Despite the
lengthy discussions Ses was easily
elected next yar's EWVP.
The
final position to be decided
upon was Women's Vice-President.
Jane Warwood, who presently holds
the position, was once again the
NZUSA national officers for

session which failed to inform us of
any different aspect to the first
session, each campus went to
separate rooms for the second
ballot.
Tension mounted when every
campus had voted except Lincoln.
Although the results were not
announced
at
that stage nobody
was oblivious to the fact that with
the
21
votes in Jane's favour, only
one more vote was needed for her
re-election. Ja:ne was later criticised
for the fact that she left the room to
speak • with the two remaining
Lincoln delegates.
After a short time they returned.
The
results
of
the second ballot
were
22
in
favour,
19
againt and
one invalid vote: Jane
will
fill
next
year's position
of
Women's Vice-
President.
At
7 o'clock in the morning,
everybody was pleased to see the
-elections finally draw to
an
end.
If
elections had continued for one
hour
longer
we
would have beaten
the record number of thirteen hours
for electing NZUSA's national
officers.
Throughout the following days,
little emphasis appeared to
be
placed
on
the fact that for the first time in
NZUSA's history, four women were
elected in the top four positions.
WVP, Jane Warwood had made a
brief mention
in
Women's Caucus
of "Hip, hooray,
ifs
about fucking
time." But little more was said.
At
the end of August Council Jane said
to
me
,
"It
was a credit to women to
get this far as it's much harder for
women to reach the positions than
it
is
for men.
The
elections have
proved that the particular women
work well within the system but the
together. The room
fell
silent and a
Maori . man stood and spoke
in
Maori to the council.
He then began chanting and
before
we
knew
it
, all Maori
delegates were performing a haka.
This cleverly made most people
feel
guilty for ever having any doubts,
and any questions prepared
beforehand were forgotten. We
heard more Maori, and when
• everyone had softened, English was
used to explain the position of a
Maori Vice-President and an ad hoc
. sub-committee of the executive to
be called Nga Toki. Before
we
knew
it, a Maori-Vice-President position
had been created.
• Waikato, voted along with most
other universities, in favour of every
motion put to delegates. Canterbury
had to abstain on many of the
motions as it could only support a
part-time position, and Lincooln
voted against the position.
The
other issues, of which many
people were also apprehensive as to
the outcome, was the Women's
Autonomy. A statement of
principle was presented and
it
was
acknowledged as the basic outline of
women's self-determination. It
became • clear, however, that

lev.el,
and
many of the motions put to
constituent SRC's hadn't been
passed, or even looked at.
The first -two motions had been
passed
at
Otago; however its SRC
had then lost
its
quorum. Massey
had passed the first, second and
ninth motion but . its SRC too,
became inquorate. Lincoln was
opposed to Women's Autonomy
and especially against the second
motion which stated
that
"Women's
Caucus should have the right to
ratify policy from Women's
Commission, each delegate being
subject to the constraint<; of
individual campus policy.' Victoria
had dealt with the motions
as
one,
which was not passed. Waikato was
in
favour of a women's autonomy,
but didn't agree with its application
and Auckland along with
Canterbury had passed every
motion.
However, even with these votes
nothing could
be
achieved.
The
motions have been slightly amended
and each campus now has
lo
take
the proposal back to SRC for a
decision.
The
votes
will
be
sent and
recorded through a postal ballot.
So
we
're back to square one.
The
final controversy was that of
Student
Job
Search
. A report had
been prepared
by
the National
Management Committee on
restructuring the present system
which had allowed for many
problems nationwide.
The
report
described the Christchurch
operation as
"an
unmitigated
disaster.
...
due to the recalcitrance
and fotractibility of the UCSA
executive." Christchurch was not
the only centre to
be
criticised.
According to the report among the
potential problem areas were the
collective agreement with NZUSA
and the Clerical Union, and
different agreements with the same
union for workers
in
the same
building, employed
by
the same
organisation.
Criticisms
in
the report included
"the
time-consuming." A proposal
was put to council to remedy the
existing gaps. It includes suggestions
of a provision for management
committees to have a greater degree
of responsibility and power
in
the
running of Job Search centres, and
for the SJS to become an
incorporated society. The proposals

This sort of social training has
many problems and disadvantages.
The way
we
are treated by others
and how we are taught to regard
ourselves and our abilities has more
influence on
us
than our biological •
/nature.
The
expectations which appear
during the childhood and
adolescence
of
women are
extremely difficult to change.
By
the time she has become an adult
some of this oppressive
conditioning will have been
internalized.
The
woman feels it
is
natural to be dependent on men,
care for the children, be submissive
and
so on. Conditioning takes place
through parents, peers, television,
films, the observation of people ·
and advertising. Women are
encouraged to buy cosmetics and
other goods to be more 'attractive'.
Many women strive to
be
slim,
wear uncomfortable clothing,
shoes and make up all for the
benefit of attracting men.
False images of women have
supported the unequal relationship
of women and men. Women for
example are naturally more
interested
in
th care of the
household duties and childcare.
Other assumptions, such as men
must support the family but
women should only work as an
optional extra
if
her domestic
obligations have been met, should
be questioned.
There are many subtle pressures
onw omen to act out these beliefs.
Men are not expected in all
societies to
be
aggressive, nor are
females always supposed to be
passive and dependent. However in
New Zealand we expect males to
be
leaders, independent and
successful. Females are meant to
be followers, less capable of action,
poor-at mathematics but better
at
languages. Their looks are their
most important asset. These roles
are harmful and limiting for both
men and women.

Delegates were made aware of a

clear that many of the women

Many women present didn't agree

the whole question of her

Well, that about sums up the major events at NZ USA 's I 983 August
Council. Priorities for this term have been set and cover a range of issues.
The
Education Commission
will
concentrate on the
TAG
and
Quinquinnium Submissions
and
in the first term
of
next year
will
be looking
at
the
TAG
and
Lecturer Training/Assessment.
Next year the Welfare Commission
will
focus on Student Unemployment
and
Accommodation. And for the rest of the year
is
priorities are
...
. Youth
Rates, Student Unemployment and the Quinquennium submissions.
International
is
looking closely
at
the Southern Africa Scholarship, Nuclear
proliferation
and
Central America. National.... Youth Rates,
Unemployment/Government legislation on Unions and Anti Racism. Finally
the Women's commission has set Lesian Visibility, Childcare, Summer
Unemployment and Youth Rates as its priorities.
The
end
of
Council should have been welcomed by
all
participants. Five
days of commissions, standing committees, plenaries, friction, caucuses and
climbing hills, late nights and early starts was more than many people could
take
(as
the number of sleeping and absent people in ratification plenary
indicated). I can only hope the enthusiasm generated at Council can come to
the forefront at our own campus, once delegates return to the drudgery of
exectuvies between the issues, and possibly council
is
forgotten, at least until
May next year. •

Sylvia Plath
-Collected
Poems
Ed.
Ted Hughes
Faber and Faber,
1981
,
351
pp., $14.15
This first collection
of
all the
mature
work
of
Sylvia Plath
is
·
something
of
a major literary
achievement.
Sylvia Plath wrote quite a large
amount
of
material over a school,

time, from 1956 to her death in describe some more universal
1963. This collection
sets
out to
place her
work
in a chronological
order
, it also provides brief
biographical notes, comments on
some
of
the poems and fifty early
poems.
Chronological ordering
is
interesting
as
it makes
comparison
of
early
with
later
material very easy and, it
is
also
easy
to
follow
the evolution
of
her poetry. This
is
an
especially
interesting and somewhat
paradoxical study when related
to the fact that Sylvia Plath was
married to Ted Hughes, the
editor
of
this collection.
Ted Hughes,
as
editor, chose
19 56
as
the starting point for the
collection
which
he
rational
ises
as
be.ing due to her turning 23,
he
neglects to mention that
he
also
married her in 1956. The obvious
influence
of
Ted Hughes on her
poetry
is
exacerbated by the
experience.
So,
for instance. in
Lady Lazarus
Syl
via Plath
describes her
own
suicide vision:

John Cooper Clarke, 'the name
behind the hai
rs
tyle',
is
familiar
to many for
his
'polysyllabic
excursion(s) through Thrillsville'
on vinyl but this book
is
his
debut
as
a words-on-paper-type poet.
Anyone
who
has
heard
J.C.
will
realise his poetical tactics are
quite offensive. in both
senses
of
the word. The poems, most
of
which
have been recorded,
are
full of snide abuse, bad language,
disgusting imagery, poor diction
and
downright
nasty themes .....
which
is
probably
why
I like
them .
The poetry of
J.C.
is
nothing if
not totally honest and quite often
it cuts through convention and
niceties to actually come to grips
with social ills. J.c:
is
essentially a
social poet with themes revolving
around
an
anti-establishment
base. including comments on
capital punishment (Suspended
Sentence), working
class
life
(Beezley Street
),
cosmetic
surgery (The
Face
Behind the
Scream), and many more.
john
looµer
Clarke
uses
language often considered
obscene, and this
has
been
used
as
a criticism -something like
'
he
only
uses
bad language to
shock people a
nd
people like to
be shocked'; it
is
quaint to hear a
performer
say;
the fucking view
is
fucking
vile
for fucking miles and
fucking miles
the fucking babies fucking
cry
the fucking flowers fucking
die
the fucking food
is
fucking
muck
the fucking drains
are
fucking fucked
the colour scheme
is
fucking brown
everywhere in chicken
town
and
so
it goes. But much in the
way that Lenny Bruce
used
obscene language not for
its
obscenity but merely because
of
the fact that comedians (and
poets)
use
words; and if
Jo

use
them on the
street,
why
can't
John
Cooper
Clarke
use
them in
his
poetry.
A feature of the book
is
the art
work
of
Steve
Maguire, a close
friend
of
J.C.'s
who
has
provided
29
illustrations inspired
by
the
poems.
Steve
Maguire
has
been
critically and publically
applauded for
his
paintings and
the inclusion
of
his illustrations
is
a definite plus for the book.
Most people
who
would enjoy
this book probably already

which

overwhelming

overthrown
by
the
Chilean military
with
massive
support
from
the
US.
One person •
who
experienced
these events
who
now
lives in
Christchurch
is
Jorge
Villazou.
Jorge
was born in
the
northern
part
of
Chile,
but
lived in Santiago
for
most
of
his years ·in Chile.
During
the
period
of
1970-73 undar
the
Allende government,
Jorge
attended University in Santiago,
and
now
recalls some
of
the
positive experiences during this
period,
as
well
as
the horrifying
changes
that
took
place
with
the
military takeover.
Graham:
Can you tell me
about
some
of
the changes
that
took
place under the
Allende
government,
with
regard to
your
time at University.
Jorge:
Well, an
important
change
that
took
place
within
the University itself
was
that
the structures were
organised
into
a
democratic
form,
so
that
all people at the university elected
Vice Chancellors, and people on
boards etc.
Graham:
Some
people believe things have
got
better
in Chile in the last
few
years.
What
do
you think?
Jorge:
The
repression was very visible
in
the first
two
to three years
as
thousands
of
people were murdered.
• Repression still exists as
we
can see in
recent events
but
it
is
in
a more
sophisticated
form
of
repression. The
same level
of
repression still goes on.
Fascism
works
on a basis
of
ruling
through
terror
of
the people. The
·
education
system has been changed
to
promote
the
Junta
's views and
political parties and parliament have
been
outlawed
, A
new
constitution
with
new
laws has existed since 1973
which
works
for
the
Junta's
success.
One
important
method
to control
students
by
the
Junta
is
to control
their
entry
to
universities. All students
have
to
sit a test
which
very subtlely
measures people's political ideas, so
that
a
lot
of
capable students are
not
allowed
to
go
to
university.
Graham:
How
do
you see Chile's future?
Jorge:
As
Allende said on the day
of
the
coup,
most
of
our
generation were
going
to
be destroyed,
but
a
new
generation
would
emerge.
Many
of
this
new
generation are very
submissive,
but
there
is
a
new
group
as
we
have seen recently, fighting
for
their
rights in the streets!
New
people are being drawn in the
struggle, and the
army
calls Marxism a
cancer because
it
won
't go away
but
keeps re-emerging.
I
do
not
believe the US will
allow
real change in Chile and although the ·
idea
of
a peaceful road
to
socialism
appeals, I
do
not
believe it works as
we
can see
from
history. I believe a
violent
revolution will be the only
way
that
Chile will change.

The
New Zealand University
Students' Association
is
to take to
UNESCO a case against the New
Zealand government, because
of
the
imposition
of
higher fees
on
overseas students.
NZUSA
has always opposed
discriminatory fees charged against
overseas students coming to New
Zealand to study, said
Mr
Roger
Tobin, NZUSA's Acting President.
"The
new . recently announced
higher fees, under the guise
of
making more places available
to
overseas students_, will only worsen
an
already bad situa.tion."
"While
NZUSA
welcomes the
opening
of
places in schools
and
Teachers Colleges to overseas
students, we feel the level
of
the fee
to be charged, some $3,100
at
Teachers College, will prevent most
students from pursuing any courses
of
study", said
Mr
Tobin.
Currently, private overseas
students from outside the South
Pacific, pay
an
annual fee
of
$1500
to
attend
Technical Institutes
and
universities.
The
government plans
to make more places available there
and
at
schools
and
teachers colleges
but
in return will impose 'cost-
recovery' fees
of
up to $7000 a year,
on
all students from outside
ASEAN
and the South Pacific, with
ASEAN
students still paying the
$1500fee. _
"We
have documented a sharp
decline in the number
of
overseas
students, particularly Malaysians,
studying here since the
discriminatory $1500 fee was
imposed", said
Mr
Tobin,

GUIDE

How to protect
your flat
"An
Englishman's flat
is
his
castle"
is
a saying that
we
all know
and are affected by, as
is
the idea of
protecting your 'castle' against the
enemy.
The
latter
is
an
honourable
one and very wise
in
these troubled
times.
But how to do
it!!!
Let's face it,
moats and drawbridges are out.
However, high walls with
embrasures (indentations) to form
battlements are immensely useful
in
making entry impossible. These
crenellations are also a
psychological barrier to any
intruder.
Unfortunately they are not
always feasible due to the expense.
Don't despair -here
is
a cheaper
solution.
We can take a leaf out of the
Normans' book who, during the
Dark Ages, had Feudal Castles with
a common ground (called .a Bailey)
and a fortified stronghold (the
Motte).
Many modern bathrooms in
both flats and how,
c:-
can be
reinforced into a Motte using
an
internal locking system and planks
of 500x20mm thick rimu.
Simply nail the planks in layers
around any windows and vulnerable
sections of the walls with 6 inch
f1o-lle.
------
flatheads. Remember that attackers
could mine into your Motte using
crowbars so it may be necessary to
build a vantage point from which to
drop large rocks, pour hot oil or fire
arrows. This wooden structure
is
called a 'hoarding' or if it overhangs
your defended walls (or door), it
is
called a 'machicolated parapet'.
It
could be advantageous to
incorporate this parapet into the
ceiling for convenience and
concealment.*
HINT:
When drilling through
plaster it
is
best to have something
behind it to drill into. Any old oak
tables held against the ceiling with
tape
will
suffice.
The
converted bathroom may be
turned into a 'keep' by stock-piling
canned food and toilet paper
in
case
of seige
by
persistant insurgents or
just a need to be on your own for a
while. Don't forget to cover any
ventilating ducts.

STEVE
BIKO-
MURDERED
BY
APARTHEID
On August
18,
1977, at a
police roadblock near
Grahamstown, South Africa, •
Steve Biko was arrested for
violating a banning order on
him. He was detained under
the country's "terrorism act",
and held incommunicado in
Port Elizabeth. On September
11
he was transferred, naked
in the back of a police van, to
Pretoria Central Prison. The
next night he was found dead.
His death was due to extensive
brain injuries caused
by
frequent
beatings while in police custody.
Following his murder, there was
widespread protest throughout
South Africa (Azania). At one
memorial service, 1200 black
students were arrested when they
cahllenged a ban on unauthorised
assemblies.
At
another service in
Soweto, a
15
year old boy was shot
and killed
by
the police.
The
apartheid regime felt
differently, and delegates to the
Transvaal provincial congress of the
ruling National Party burst into
laughter as Justice Minister Kruger
outlined the events following Biko's
death.
Steve Biko was a founder member
of the black South African Students'
Organisation
(SASO),
and honorary
president of the Black People's
Convention
(BPC)
and leader of the
black consciousness movement
inside South Africa (Azania).
The BPC espoused Biko's ideas of
black consciousness, which he
described as. "group pride, and the
determination
by
blacks to rise and
attain the envisaged self'. It meant
basically that black people should,
and must, appreciate their value
as
human beings, a value no
less
than
that of white's.
It was an idea the apartheid
regime could not tolerate. So
Biko
was murdered, and then the black
consciousness movement, including
SASO and BPC, was banned.

There was also
an
aim
to
provide a
higher level
of
education
for
workers,
and
as
a result academics used
to
go
to
mining centres and rural areas
to
help
with
production, literacy
campaigns etc.
Students
would
often
spend the
day helping
to
produce things
alongside workers, and at
night
they
would teach workers
to
rec:.d
etc.
Chile was a
country
technologically
dependent on the United States, and
the United States was trying
to
strangle the economy,
just
like
what
they are doing
in
Nicaragua at
present. As a result,
many
students
were involved in research and study
to
try
and -find ways ,-
to
make the
economy
mo~e
independent. •
Graham:
Who
had access
to
University
during this period?
Jorge:
Universities were fully open
to
all
sectors ·
of
the population during
Allende's government because fees
were marginal and
the
system was
structured
to
allow people
to
apply
for
scholarships
for
money allowance,
food' allowance etc.
Before 1970 and , after 1973
universities were very elitist because
of
the massive fees imposed and. the
lack
of
assistance available.
Graham:
Were there many progressive
courses at Universities during
Allende's government and
what
has
happened
to
them since?
Jorge:
The Fascist phi,losophy requires
that people
don't
learn
about
their
own
reality. Sociology, Psychology,
Philosophy, and Journalism were
some
of
the particular courses where
there was a deep awareness
of
the
role
of
students in society and they
were very active. These courses
don't
exist today because
they
are classified
as
subversive subjects.
The army says
that
students should
be at University
to
study and
not
do
politics. In return I say the army
should
be
in the· barracks and
not
governing the
country
.
Another
important
thing
about
courses
is
that
under Allende
you
could deci_de
what
to
research and
get
finance
from
the state. Today
however, universities are dependent
on companies and the
army
for
a great
deal
of
finance, so research
is
directed
towards the benefit
of
companies
rather than the welfare
of
the people.
Graham:
Were all universities equally
active or were some more radical than
others?
Jorge:
Well, in Santiago there were three
universities. The Catholic University,
the University
of
Chile, and the State
Technical University. The first
two
universities were largely inhabited
by
students
from
middle class and upper
class backgrounds whereas
as
the
State technical University had a great
number
of
people
from
working
class
bakcgrounds and was far more
radical.
The universities projected
themselves far beyond the
classrooms. There were musical
activities, theatre activities and
cultural activities. Students
would
often
be involved
in
big rallies
with
government representatives
in
Santiago where there
would
often
be
300,000 people amassed together.
The university
that
I was at also
Jorge
: Looking back on
it
we
were very
naive. As you
know
with
countries •
such
as
Brazil, Uruguay and
Argentina, Latin America has a strong
fascist background
but
people
felt
that
Chile was a different case.
We
believed that fascism was a long
way
from
the border and
we
were very
naive about the role
of
the armed
forces.
Prior
to
the
coup-d'etat
there were
bomb
attacks and violence by right
wing people. Power stations were
bombed, loyal truck drivers
who
did
not
strike were attacked, and
assassinations
of
officials particularly
in
the armed forces occurred so
that
fascists held
power
in
this group.
During the truck drivers strike
many
of
us
stopped university and
went
to
work
in the
community
distributing
food, unloading wagons, and

I remember a
few
of
us spent nights
at the university
to
defend
it
in case
of
attacks.
Graham:
Can you
now
tell
me
a little
bit
about
what
happened
to
you at the
time
of
the coup.
Jorge:
Yes.... Well
it
was during the
holidays and I was at
my
parents'
place on the morning
of
the coup.
There was a strange feeling in
the
country
and
my
mother
woke
me
up
• and said
that
strange things were
going on. • ~ \
At
10.00 or 11.00 a.m. I turned on
the
_radio
&nd
heard Allende giving his
final message
to
the people.
At
3.00
p.m.
it
was announced that
two
days
of
curfew had been imposed. Horrible
things occurred
in
the days
to
come.
A friend
of
mine
who
was studying
Journalism and his wife
who
was a
social worker were executed at
the
university on the day
of
the coup. The
technical university was a major area
of
attack by
the
army and hundreds
of
people were murdered and arrested.
Student
leaders were murdered
....
Chilean academics were murdered.
Our Vice Chancellor spent several
years in a concentration camp and
now
lives
in
Europe.
Most
of
my past
lecturers -
now
live
in
Europe.
They
were expelled
from
univrsities and
some were jailed.
Piles
of
books
that
had been labelled
subversive
would
be burnt in the
street by the military. House searches
became regular and when I returned
from
my
parents' place
to
the
working
class suburb
of
Santiago
in
which
I
lived, every night during
curfew
machine guns
would
fire. God
....
it
was terrible ... . I can still hear those
sounds so clear in
my
head ...
Graham:
After
the coup did you return
to
university when it
re
0opened?
Jorge:
Yes,
but
I had been
working
as
a
tutor
in
physics and I had a
scholarship
from
the government and
lost both .... I found
it
impossible
to
stay at university any longer
....
It was
an
atmosphere of detentions anrl
persecutions - I couldn't
work
in
that
environment. The army has employed
people
who
have gone
to
university
not
with
an
interest
to
studying
but
of
spying.

Mr Tobin. "We have exhausted

According to Mr Tobin
It was a response typical of the
apartheid regime, which
will
not
tolerate criticism or dissent, and has
developed an incredibly repressive
array of laws, designed to crush all
opposition to white rule.
"Most of the educational

Like an expanding universe of so many galazies.of stars,
• pop music has reached its dizzy limit and we are now due
for
an equal and opposite implosion. After a quarter
century of passively· consuming the transatlantic crap
dictated to
us
out here on the Antipodean fringes,
Australasian musos are on the offensive, the red hot toast
of western culture.
As the rock cosmos converges, every trend will be
played back in reverse until we finally arrive back in 1955.
Today's Singalong with Murgy
is
the mirror image of
the swinging sixties sexual revolution. This music
counters the permissiveness doctrine of beatniks_ arid
hippies like John Lennon and Donovan and makes
sex
so
unfashionable it's worth having again.
So
·
if
you '
re
virgin and/ or proud
of
it, sing out loud

those pretty unimpressed by sexual
maturity

The
Joys
of
J
Cannibal
Cuisine
"Cats eat catmeat, but
pigs
don't eat
pig-
meat. What meat do
you
eat?"
People have this really distorted idea of
cannibalism. First thing they think of, every
time,
is
bodies turning on the spit... or the
other traditional serving suggestion, meat and
blood as bread and wine given for you. It's so
misleading.
No-one recommends roasting whole on the
1 spit or at the stake; because bits always come
out half-
raw
. You have to cook long-pork
~ery
thoroughly unless you want
it
giving
you
nasty diseases.
Not the same as chicken or veal, whose
infections aren't
so
liable'to get you. 1 only
1 need point out the shockingly high rate of
syphil
is
among vampires.
Best
example
is
brains (which you pop
in
the blender and drink through a straw, or
slice and fry, serving with tall glasses of
amniotic fluid, hot and frothy with a head on
it
if
poss.).
.
Scrapies, kuru, multiple
sc
lerosis
all
lurk.
I'm not saying every MS sufferer contracted
it
from eating raw brains, but quite a
few
.....
Anyway,
you
'
ll
know
if
the butcher
is
trying
to palm you off with a brain destroyed
by
Alzheimer's syndrome, it'll
be
withered and
widely-fissured -"prune brain", to
we
in
the
trade -shake your head reproachfully and
demand the fine specimen your
discrimination deserves.
Humans, you see, have just no thought for
the sight they're going to present as meat;
they don't look after themselves. Sheep and
cattle are pampered, they're bred for a fine
appearance on the slab, whereas people come
out worm-raddled, either fatty or muscle-
bound depending on their choice of
conspicuous consumption, streaked with scar
tissue, cysts, hot and cold running sores,
other things too unpleasant to mention.
Be
really fussy when picking a carcass.
I could dwell
on
the problems New
Zealand abbatoirs have in meeting EEC
standards.
NZ
can't afford to slip behind
here
...
as a colonial country, bodies are our
only competitive export... already there's so
much flooding the home market that
it
becomes every New Zealander's patriotic
duty to consume long-pork, or "Kiwi-meat"
as we're trying to rechristen it. And the
special requirements of Islamic buyers
is
a
topic
in
itself: they want the bodies
completely drained . of blood before
slaughtering (which applies as
well
to Kosher
restrictions, stuffing Shylock up when time
came
to
collect
his
pound of flesh). Flexibility
is
the key-word.
But now to the subject of cadaver-
selection. One consideration
is
that unless
you're blessed with a deep:freeze there's no
point buying an adult since it'll supply a flat
of four with chops and stews and so on for
weeks. Better to invest
in
a baby, which
is
toughly turkey size (and mild
in
flavour, too
mi
ld for some, so don't drown
it
with raucous
spicing. Fav. preparations are stuffed and
roasted, casseroled, or fricaseed a
la
Swift, an
old Irish recipe).

Delicatessans provide the epicure such
specialities
as

if
you're truely decadent, deeply crab-clawed
cancer patients.
Can't aff6rd it? Snack on your flatmates.
Sneak up behind them surruptitiously
enough, and they won't notice you slicing
pieces from their backs and loins and claves;
keep
it
up for weeks
till
they keep falling over
and grow suspicious. They'll
be
really peeved,
and justifiably so,
if
they find you've taken
the best bits.

to

Mr

of

and
that

Although

be
true
,
those

both
unwarranted

untrue.
He
claims
that

but
in

we
ar

Mr

ut
in

no

perhaps
a

He

,
the

of

and
Graeme
certainly
isn't
doing
that;
and
the
latter's
action
s
tor
other
people
is
a
glimmering
of
the
lov

All
the
crap
about
the
nuclear
horror
comes
from
Labour
Party
supporters
and
communist
whores.
Correction
-
all
Labour
Party
sympathisers
are
filthy
commie
whores
.
They
should
all
be
castrated
before
being
publicly
flogged
by
Young
·
Nationals
and
then
given
to
the
RSA
for
military
discipline
to
be
ready
for
a
one-way
trip
to
the
Falklands.
If
they're
rebellious,
they
should
be
hung
by
the
neck
from
the
5th
floor
of
the
Arts
Tower
until
no
movement
of
limb
and
breath
from
body
is
detectable
-
that
is,
stiff
dead!
Why
should
we
tolerate
socialist
pricks?
They
squander
the
taxpayers'
money
with
their
constant
stirring
and
imperil
society
and
nation
by
their
subversive
activities
.
The
likes
of
Labour
Party
voters
are
best
reduced
to
desensitised
shit.
Send
them
all
to
war
s
ince
they're
so
ardently
against
it.
.
Marilyn
Waring
is
no
better
with
her
horse
mouth
capability
-
sh
e
should
chew
hay
and
oats
instead
of
ranting
against
the
Nuclear
Necessity.
National
is
too
soft
on
commies
only
because
liberals
like
Waring
are
in
it.
The
solution
is
a
great
purge
for
the
benefit
of
our
nation
and
society.
True
Nationals
P.S
.
Good
on
Merv
Wellington
for
kicking
the
crap
out
of
those
shithead
students
at
Teachers'
College.
We
received
a
num
ber
of
fellers
agreeing
with
J.G.P.N.
, with different
signatures,
but
th
ey
were
all
in
th
e
same
handwriting
and
on
the
same
paper
.
Just
for
all
you
Nationalists
and
Patriots
out
there
,
here
's a
line
or
two
from
Nietzsche:

to

that
