Our Domestic Affairs. A HAPPY combination of circumstances this year is responsible for evident signs of a healthy de-velopment of College l ife at Auck land University College. The mere fact that Auck land has won the Tournament Shield with a comfortable margin of points is a fair ly conclusive answer to the charge so frequently made that Auck land students are de-void of College spirit. But there are indications that students are taking an increased interest in College affairs in many directions. T o some extent this is due to the new building, which after a year of occupation is beginning to exert upon those who pass through it a subtle appeal such as could never have emanated from the College's dismal temporary homes of the past. The holding of the Tourna-ment in Auck land this year , providing so excellent an opportunity for displaying the new building to the admiration of visitors, and offering so ample a focus for the aspirations and enthusiasm of students, has also played its part in giving new vigour to College l ife this term. A third important factor has been the opening of the College Hostel at " The Mansions." Although numerically but a tiny fraction of the student body the hostel boarders

have been well to the fore in ail College functions this year , and have furnished good grounds for the hope that the hostel will play a very important part in College life when once it is in full swing. For these and other reasons there has been an undeni-able awakening of interest in College affairs which gives promise that those who expected much from the opening of the new building will not be alto-gether disappointed.

Now that the excitement of Tournament is over it remains for students to keep alive their enthusiasm for the College. It should not be forgotten even now that there will be another Tournament next year and that never since Tournaments were begun in 1902 has Auck land won the Athletics Shield. The increased interest taken in athletics and boxing prior to the Tournament this year enabled us to pass on the Wooden Spoon to Canterbury and to draw with Otago for the Boxing Shield. If the interest in athletics is maintained throughout the coming year there is no reason why Auck land should not shatter the tradition of a quarter-century and bring the Athletics Shield home in triumph next Easter.

But there are many things requiring more imme-diate attention from students. The proposal to form a University Union at the College has not yet been discussed by the general body of students, and it is imperative that a meeting for this purpose should be held in the near future, even if only to settle the fate of the proposal by a decided nega-tive. Then again, the Tournament, with its accompanying increased interest in College affairs generally, has made still more painful ly apparent the need for a thorough reorganisation of the secre-tarial side of the Students' Association's activities. It has been suggested that an office for the Associa-tion should be established and opened at certain definite hours dai ly with a part-time attendant and typiste. If the funds of the Association will per-mit such a course it will be an admirable move, but at least some action is urgently necessary. The adoption of a more thorough and workmanlike sys-tem of filing the Association's records is also essen-tial. The Students' Association should no longer be merely a well-meaning body of enthusiasts ex-ercising a fatherly interest in the welfare of the

students. To a rapidly increasing extent it is becoming a business organisation and as such it must adopt business methods. It has an annual expenditure, quite apart from the cost of produc-ing the carnival play, of over a thousand pounds, and its other activities are increasing in proportion. The importance of the Association's social activi-ties should not be forgotten, but neither should it be overstressed.

Another task requiring immediate attention is the long overdue revision of the Association's Con-stitution. The subject has been talked of on many occasions, but so far apparently nothing has been done. A t present the Constitution is in a state of hopeless confusion. Probably it will be necessary to repeal it in its entirety and replace it with a complete new constitution.

Now that the Tournament is over those at the head of the Association should have more time to devote to its internal affairs, so that perhaps it will not be too much to hope for decisive changes early next term.

JUST MEMORIES.

I THINK of the clinging creeper That mantles the western wall,

Novo its tinted leaves turn deeper

Gold at Autumns call; Dawn flames in glowing splashes

From rich gold to crimson hue, And spreads in warmest gashes

To stain the wall anew; And the glorious warmth of the terrace

That runs past the dining hall ! Look • below is the old-fashioned garden, What a wealth of richness there !

Dahlias and cosmos and daisies Phlox, pansies and sweet lavender,

And the roses! Ah, the warm air hangs heavy with scent,

And the arches and bowers and houses With roses, sweet roses, Are doubled and bent;

All around hangs the glow of Autumn, A bee flies past with a load—

But stop! who am I to remember, I, who but sweat on the roadf

VERSES.

(With apologies to A. A. Milne).

O WHAT is the matter with Mary Jane? She is sound of body and mentally sane, Yet she's writhing about as in exquisite pain. What CAN be the matter with Mary Jane?

WHAT is the matter with Mary Jane? Tm afraid that she MUST be gone in the brain. She appears to be under a terrible strain! What IS the matter with Mary Jane?

WHAT is the matter with Mary Jane? Her paper is covered with inlfspot and stain— Now she's tearing it up, and beginning again! What IS the matter with Mary Jane?

I've got an idea which 1 think will explain

The extraordinary conduct of dear Mary Jane,

She is trying to write for the " Kiwi" 'tis plain!

Accept our deep sympathies, poor Mary Jane!

The Proposed University Union.

I HAVE been asked to write a few notes on the proposed new College organisation usually referred to as " The University Union."

The present control of the domestic side of the College affairs is temporarily in the hands of what ' is virtually a sub-committee of the College Coun-cil. This committee, known for want of a better title as a Board of Control, consists of a repre-sentative from the Council, a representative from the Professorial Board, the Registrar and repre-sentatives of the students. This board is func-tioning well , but its constitution is arbitrary, and there is a real danger that it will not a lways be in such touch with College affairs as the special circumstances call for.

This association of representatives of Council, Registrar, professors and students suggests also the practicability of a permanent association of those and other elements in the College to take charge of these domestic duties.

M y own association with the College goes back to the period when it was housed in the old pro-vincial Parliament buildings now demolished. A t that time the surroundings of the College were such as to make it extremely difficult to promote any corporate social life. The students of that day did endeavour to import into their relation-ship with the College something of the atmosphere which they expected should prevail, and as a consequence various College organisations grew up, and have in most cases continued to develop until they are now substantial and influential. Having regard to the circumstances of their growth, how-ever, they have almost of necessity become purely sectional organisations. By force of circum-stances, therefore, there has arisen a condition of affairs which has diminished the opportunity for cohesion among the different elements of the Col-lege, except perhaps in a purely academic sense. A College, to function satisfactorily, must present an analogy with the family. The family cannot fulfil any satisfactory purpose as such if it is com-posed of warring or even of detached parts. Un-less there is a bond not only of common interest, but also of sympathy, between the several parts, then the family as such cannot be said to exist.

In precisely the same way there must be not only common interest, but sympathetic association among the different parts of the College, and not

the least important are those members of the Col-lege family who have been equipped to go out into the world, but who should still be vital fac-tors in the maintenance of College traditions, and of moral support in the wider community to which they have gone. The circumstances of the Col-lege have now undergone a radical change in that proper social amenities are made avai lable for the first time. A n opportunity which should not be lost is therefore offered for the development of the true family sentiment in the College. In any steps which may be taken to this end the attach-ment to the College of its old students should be especially aimed at.

It cannot be denied that old students leave the College and almost at once cease to interest them-selves in it. It is idle to blame the old students for that, or to listen to any blame which the old students may attribute to present students. It may be that, as with the family, it is inevitable that those who leave the domestic circle will in time become indifferent to it.

It should be the duty of the College, however, to resist the development of this indifference and to prevent, or at any rate, to delay it. For this reason it is of the first importance that any scheme of constitution should endeavour to attach to the College these past students.

The present proposal is for the constitution of a body consisting of teachers, past students, pre-sent students, and of the College Council, to take over first of all the work now being performed by the Board of Control, but also, as occasion offers, or is developed, to act collectively for the College in all matters of common interest. It is not intended that this body, which for the present might be referred to as the proposed College Union, should assume any of the functions at pre-sent peculiarly belonging to say, the College Coun-cil, Professorial Board or Students' Association. There are many matters outside the functions of those bodies which call for general and common treatment, which at the present time are being dealt with unsuitably or inadequately, and in many cases are not being dealt with at all .

The fear has been expressed that this body is intended to supercede the Students' Association. That fear, I think, is not founded on fact. It may be, although I do not suggest it is, that there

Page Eight. T H E K I W I - May, ig2~

are some functions at the present time being ful-filled by the Students' Association, which could more satisfactorily be undertaken by such an or-ganisation as is proposed. If the organisation is established and is proved to function satisfactorily, then I have little doubt that there will be no jealousy shown, whether by College Council, Pro-fessorial Board, Court of Convocation, or Stud-ents" Association, if some special function at pre-sent undertaken by one or other of those bodies should be found to be more appropriate to the larger and more comprehensive body.

The proposal, drawn up by the Board of Con-trol, is no more than an outline. It is proposed to summon a conference of representatives of the different organisations referred to, and with their aid to draft a constitution for general acceptance. The general conception has been received with the utmost goodwill, and there is little doubt that if that same spirit of goodwill be applied to the framing of the constitution and the establishment of the body, then the Union will constitute a valuable means of increasing the usefulness of the College.

Through the Ages.

(On the Discovery of a Love Letter Among the Ruins of Baby lon ) .

(Prize for Serious Verse) .

The world hath just one tale to tell, and it is v e r y o l d ,

A little tale—a simple tale—a tale that's easy told:

There was a youth in Babylon who greatly loved a maid."

The world hath just one song to sing, but sings it unafraid,

A little song—a foolish song—the only song it hath:

There was a youth in Ascalon who loved a girl in Cath."

Homer clanged it, Omar twanged it, Greece and Persia f?new

Nimrod's reivers, Hiram's weavers, Hindu, Kurd, and Jew—

Crowning Tyre, Troy afire, they have dreamed the dream;

Tiber-side and Nilus-tide brightened with the gleam—

Oh the sueing, sighing, wooing, sad and merry hours,

Blisses tasted, fosses wasted, building Babel's towers!

Hearts were aching, hearts were breaking, lashes

wet with dew,

When the ships touched the lips of isles thai

Sappho knew;

Yearning breasts and burning breasts, cold at last

are hid

Amid the glooms of carven tombs in Khurfu's

pyramid—

Though the sages through the ages smile their

cynic doubt,

Man and maid, unafraid, put the schools to rout;

Seel? chain love and retain love in the bonds

of breath,

Vow to hold love, bind and fold love, even unto

death.

The dust of f o r t y centuries has buried Babylon, And out of all her lovers dead rises only one; Rises with a song to sing and laughter in his eyes, The old song—the only song—for all the rest

are lies!

—' Tis youth's dream—a s i l l y dream—but it is flushed with gold.

" CRACCUM." WLTH paternal pride the " K iw i " seizes the opportunity to introduce to its readers its only off-spring and heir, " Craccum," which first saw the light of day on March 10 of this year . When the word " Craccum " was first made known to " Kiwi " readers in 1923 it signified an institution which has since perished with our departure from the old Grammar School Building. Par t ly with the hope of keeping green the memory of those pleasant days of old the " Kiwi " Committee has bestowed the title on the first new publication born in the new building.

" Craccum " is a fortnightly College news sheet of eight pages. When the " Kiwi " appears in

print four numbers of " Craccum " will have been published and a fifth will be brought out before the end of the term. There will also be five issues in the second term.

A l r eady it is practical ly certain that " Crac-cum " will De a financial success, and the " Kiwi " may be excused for believing with fatherly pride that it will be equal ly successful in other directions. A t least it is hoped that it may serve a useful pur-pose in College life. Its preparation and sale involve a good deal of labour on the part of the Committee, but this will be well repaid if " Crac-cum " continues to flourish in years to come.

The Native Bear. ( Prize for Serious Prose.)

I HE five men had ridden along the range all day , and Keller, the guide, was pushing on to reach a good camping place he knew of. They had not travelled far, but in the fierce summer heat, and on a difficult track, the slowest pace tired both the men and the horses long before evening. Just before sunset Keller halted, and the thankful men set about preparing the evening meal while he slipped away , soon to return with fresh water.

There was not a breath of wind and the heavy haze was clear evidence that bush fires were some-where on the ranges. One of the men questioned the guide as to the risk they ran. He had to raise his voice to be heard above the horrible tumult of the cicadas overhead in the blue gums. Keller shook his head. There was little risk hs said, for he had kept a sharp look-out and only once, very far away , had he seen more than the haze. Bush fires did not travel fast with so little wind. Reassured the men looked to their horses.

Af ter the meal they whiled away an hour or two of the dusk with smoking and yarns. Keller told of the great flood on the Murrumbidgee in ' 03 , and one of the others told of a South Ameri-can revolution he had once taken a hand in.

A s the moon was rising, the guide went to have a last look at the horses. It was unutterably still, now, and breathlessly hot. The four men sat for a long spell quite silent. Then one of them pointed out a movement in the branches of a tree on the other side of a small gul ly , a nar-row, deep cleft in the sandstone, running up from the greater val ley.

" It's a native bear ," he said, and for a long time they watched it silently.

" A difficult shot," he murmured, and three of them looked at Davis. Davis was proud of his shooting. He read the challenge in their eyes, and without a word rose to get his gun.

" Think he can do i t ? "

" I don't know. H e might."

They were silent again as Davis took his aim. For a few seconds there was an incredible, op-pressive silence. Keller, guessing something was

afoot, stood motionless at a distance. 1 he whole world was still. Then the shattering report woke the echoes. The four men saw the little animal drop from the tree, and three of them turned with a chorus of praise and surprise. The other smiled, slightly embarassed. Keller came for-ward.

" W h a t was i t ? " he asked, and just then they heard—as if from a great distance—the report of a rifle. They all paused, but Keller, with a smile, pointed across the valley to the long line of sheer cliffs flanking the opposite range.

" Just an echo," he said, and again, " W h a t was i t ? "

They told him and he praised the marksman, but with a slight frown said, " They say it is un-lucky to shoot a koa la . " For a moment their expressions changed, for time and place favoured superstitious fears. Then one laughed and they turned to settle down for the night.

Davis found himself suddenly awake, gazing up at the stars. P rom them he knew it was early morning—perhaps two o'clock-—and it was queer that he should be awake. He listened, but al l he heard was the guide lying near by, deeply breathing. Fie closed his eyes again, and then abruptly sat up, startled to wide wakefulness by a sound. It could not have been what he thought. W h a t had he heard? He hardly-dared breathe, and found himself trembling. He waited—perhaps he had imagined i t—and then he heard it aga in—a child cry ing! Impossible! Out there, miles from the nearest selection. He listened and heard again the thin wail out of the darkness. He was breathing rather fast now — h e felt puzzled. The sound was not quite the cry of a frightened child nor of a hurt child. There was something—a quality of sheer misery and anguish—in it, that made him shiver as he listened, although the night was still warm. He got up and went across to Keller, who woke at his light touch, and, sitting up, demanded quickly, " W h a t ' s w rong? "

" Keller, I can hear a kid crying out in the bush—listen," and he knelt motionless with a hand raised.

Mqy, IQ2J T H E K I W I Paye Fifteen.

The incredulous look in Keller 's eyes died out as he heard the sound. Then he gave Davis a queer glance.

" It's not a k id ," he said, " it's the mother of that bear you shot."

" W h a t ! making that noise?" Davis frowned, slightly puzzled.

Keller nodded his head. " They do ," he said briefly, and they listened again. Davis shivered at the sound. He liked it even less now.

" I th ink"—and he pau sed—" I'll go over and shoot i t ." he said, and looked slightly apologetic-al ly at Keller. The guide shook his head.

" It would take hours to get across that gully in day l ight ," he said. " It's impossible in the da rk . "

He lay down again and Davis went back to his own bed. He tried to sleep, but the crying worried him. He covered his head with a blan-ket but the sound was penetrating. Final ly he put his fingers to his ears. He thought he could hear the faintest suggestion of sound even then, and soon his arms grew tired under the strain, and, irritated, he dropped them aud turned over. W h y the devil had he shot the damned thing? he thought, and he clenched his fists and swore.

The sound rose and fell weirdly, and now and again ended in little sobs that made his blood run cold. He cursed himself for a fool as he lay there, and then, muttering under his breath, hardly knowing what he did, he scrambled to his feet, and catching up his gun, sent shot after shot echo-ing into the darkness.

The four men, awakened so roughly, jumped up and ran to him, where he stood as if dazed, call ing his name and asking what was wrong. Ashamed, he told them of the noise he had heard, and that he had tried to frighten the animal away . Keller, too, said he had heard the noise, but he did not say anything more. The sound had ceased, and, grumbling, the men were returning to bed when that thin, heartrending wai l began again. They stood stock still, breathless, listen-ing. W i t h fear and amazement on their faces

* they looked at one another. Keller alone ap-peared unmoved. Davis looked queer and white in the moonlight. There was a faint grey in the east, and the gum leaves rustled ever so slightly.

One whiskered, " Good God—what is i t ? " and then suddenly Davis started running towards the sound. Keller shouted to him, and commenced to run after him, but Davis did not heed. He ran on, tripping and stumbling through the under-growth. The guide stopped and shouted again. " L o o k out," he said, " t h e g u l l y ! " and then Davis vanished.

Keller was white when he ran back to the others.

" He ' s fallen over," he said. " W e ' l l have a mile and a-half to go along the top before we can get d o w n ; " and he started off with the others following. The light was growing stronger and they made good speed, but the sun had already risen when they reached Davis.

They buried him just where he had fallen.

Waiorongomai. ( A Maori Legend.)

I HE Waihou river flows gently between green banks, flax-grown and willow-shaded, and the sounds that break through the rush and ripple of water, the call of the water fowl, the wind in the rushes, are sounds of peace and prosperity. The whir of machinery, the lowing of herds bespeak a community advancing to wealth and happiness, and Waiorongomai, little township to-day, may in years to come be a great centre of industry.

" Waiorongomai ," a beautiful Maori word that, is somewhat euphonious, even when translated infte our rude speech, for it means " listening by the water ," and as is usually the case, a legend is attached to the name.

Long ago, so it is told, two Maori tribes built their stockades and planted kumara patches on either side the stream. They were not openly hostile in their relations, neither were they very friendly, for while the Ngatihuarere boasted a hundred and fifty fighting men their neighbours, the Ngatihmi-rangi, had less than half that number. T hey had reason therefore to be suspicious of the other tribe and subsequent events proved that their suspicions were justified.

A girl of the Ngatihinirangi, leaving the pah one morning made her way to the water's edge, there to fill her calabashes. She moved grace-fully, the precious gourds held carefully, her bare feet noiseless on the ground. Finding a spot where the water flower clear and sparkling against the bank she set down her vessels and knelt to secure a better position. And kneeling thus she heard voices young and clear that came to her across the river. Two of the Ngatihuarere were gathering sticks, and they talked as they bent to the task.

Do you know why we have been sent hither to gather sticks, and why others of our tribe are likewise gathering stones?" asked the first.

No," answered her companion. " Do y o u ? "

Indeed yes, for Rangi my mother told me, who has the favour of our Rangit ira. Listen and I will tell you."

1 hen the kneeling girl across the river, listening among the tall rushes heard a tale of treachery and deceit, of bloodshed and horror, that seemed

to freeze her warm heart s blood. For even then the Ngatihuarere were preparing a great cannibal feast and the victims were to be her own tribe. Motionless she waited, the voices of the faggot-gatherers growing fainter until she was left alone with silence, save the sough of the wind in the reeds and the plash of running water. Trembling, pale, she started to her feet, snatched up her cala-bashes and came running, stumbling, breathless and dishevelled into the presence of the great chief. " Drink, O Rangi t i ra ," she cried, " and hear what I have heard, listening by the water

Word by word she related her tale, and fear and anger grew with every word—aye, and cun-ning too. 1 reachery must meet with treachery. Seventy must outwit one hundred and fifty. The council had a plan.

The Runanga or meeting-house was supported by a double row of pillars sunk into the ground. Speedily the soil was dug from about the posts, then carefully and lightly replaced and the sur-face so carefully beaten down that no hostile eye might perceive any change.

Then straightway a messenger crossed the river with an invitation to the Ngatihuarere to come to witness a wonderful haka known only to their neighbours. And the Ngatihuarere, secure in their own plans of cunning, came. They were given places about the meeting-house, and grimly the seventy took up their positions for the dance—a dance of death, and the seventy men had fear of death in their hearts. Quietly almost at first, but with increasing fury they danced, capered, yelled, gesticulated. Louder grew the shouts, fiercer the movements, the hideous grins, gnashing teeth, loll-ing tongues, the leaps and bodily contortions, until brown bodies reeked and eyes rolled with inhuman fury, and the air resounded with hideous yells.

Slowly the admiration of the silent watchers turned to wonder and little by little to fear, for these men were surely inspired by evil spirits. Seventy seemed filled with the madness and fury of seven hundred devils. 1 hey trembled, and stiff hps murmured the name of their gods. And sud-denly, on a pre-arranged signal, these fiends sprang each to a pillar. Under those hands the great beams left the ground like tender rootlets and the mighty roof was dashed down.

May, iQ2~ T H E K I W I Paye Seventeen•

Too late did the Ngatihuarere realise their peril—this trap so crafti ly baited. Treachery had met with treachery and cunning had led them to death. Wi th hideous yells and blood-curdling screams the infuriated dancers fell upon them, a carnal sickle upon trembling corn. Madness lent strength as fear had taken it away . To a man the Ngatihuarere fell before that onslaught, and their dying cries were drowned by triumphant

shouts. Into the Wa ihou their bodies were thrown and down the river the red gashes told their own tale to another tribe journeying up to the feast. They departed as they had come.

A n d now where once was slaughter and but-chery, the yell of triumph and moan of dea th— now lows the herd and creaks the plough and all is peace and prosperity near Waiorongomai .

MYSTERIOUS SIGHTS.

I HAD partaken of no intoxicant but the air, and although the City Council supplies us with a fluid that is both food and drink, I venture to say that we cannot yet term our atmosphere a liquor, much less an intoxicating liquor.

And yet . . . ! On the night of Wednes-day, 16th inst., I entered, as indeed I often enter, in fact, very often enter—I say, I entered into the Women's Common Room. W h a t did I see before me? Not snakes, strange to s a y — for I see by statistics before me that snakes are the creatures that apparently appear most commonly and frequently to those in a state of intoxication —riot snakes. Much worse than snakes, which in this climate would not grow to alarming pro-portions—not snakes, friend reader, but a whale! A tremendous black whale heaved its enormous bulk on the carpet before the hearth—its huge sides rose and fe l l—gasps issued from its cavern-ous gul let—at length, an immense contortion, and there on the floor Jonah fel l forth and I saw him cleave with powerful arm waves where no water was ! I rubbed my eyes, sweat coursed down my ice-cold brow, my feet were rooted to the floor, but the illusion remained.

Then darkness, inky darkness, and wild and frenzied shrieks that pierced the gioom like demons from hell that clutched in mad delight at fleeing prey.

Light aga in ! and then the da rk ; but in the flashes the yells subsided and my fear-fixed gaze encountered many sights. . . . Eve tempted by the serpent and the subsequent shedding of innocence and donning of leaves of the fig; Nero

scornfully fiddling in the glare of burning Rome ; weird beasts that thronged charmed to Orpheus lute; the self-murder of Cleopatra ; strange be-ings flitting through the gloom in robes of billow-ing white; David 's conquest of Gol ia th—and all the while my frenzied brain made lead of my lower extremeties. But at last the surplus power of the ozone was weakened, and I fled, freed from visions but full of fear.

Nowhere else in all my lengthy travels has air alone been known to intoxicate—Auckland is unique.

IDYLLS OF (With apologies to the shades

When Arthur succeeded King Uther his dad, His prospects as monarch were f r i g h t f u l l y bad. The forests with troublesome dragons were filled, And hideous ogres of powerful build, Who out of their castles incessantly bobbed, And neighbouring farmers repeatedly robbed. The nobles in general made fun of the lad, And Arty had cause to be wretchedly sad; So leaving the c i t y he took a day o f f , And went to see Merlin, his 'Varsity prof., To ask his advice as to what he should do, To start something going and see matters through.

Now Merlin was a r t f u l , compounded of tricks, And thought he could see a Way out of the fix. He said, "/ suggest as a suitable Way, Your forming a sort of Y.M.C.A. Adopt a few points from the Rotary Club, Procure a round table and plenty of grub. You II get some good fellows; then fit them out

well In clanking tin armour, and after a spell Suggest at the giants their having a go. Believe me, they'll give the old chappies what

oh." So Art set to work by enrolling a few, The club became known and the membership grew. The fellows were all of an excellent t y p e , And Art set them training the giants to swipe.

The chap most successful at this sort of thing Was Lancelot du Lac, an old pal of the King. His method indeed was simplicity quite, He'd time his arrival for late in the night, And thinking it fairer the ogre to warn, Commence the proceedings by blowing his horn. The ogre would grumble, and hop out of bed, And come out to Lancelot, who'd lop o f f his head, And ent'ring the castle, whenever he pleased, Release any damsels the ogre had seized. His deeds all the people delighted to tell, So this snrt of l i f e suited Lance very well. Now as for his mates, they were fine fellows all, Collected from Ireland and Britain and Caul: Sir Lionel, Bedivere, Percivale too, (Astounding the deeds that young Percy would

do) And Tristram, and Gawaine, a fiery young chap, (Sir Tristram unhappily fell in a trap, Attempting an Irishman's daughter to win, His rival, a fellow named Martf, did him in.) Besides there was Gareth, who married a girl, Whose favourite term of endearment was " churl,"

THE KING. of Malory and Tennyson).

And lastly, Sir Galahad, best of the list, Who boasted he never a maiden had /fisseJ.

Now these I have mentioned and several more The ogres and dragons despatched by the score, While Merlin, at politics rather a dab, Directed a f f a i r s from his chemistry lab.

So Art thought at last he'd e n j o y some repose, When quite unexpected more trouble arose; A matter that Arthur could not have foreseen, For poor old Sir Lance fell in love with the queen. Her smile was too much for this excellent man, And thus a quite harmless flirtation began. (Quite harmless, for Lancelot, to give him his due, Determined to Arthur his pal he'd be true). Now Mordred, a villain, who hated Sir Lance, Observed in this friendship an excellent chance To ruin at last his unfortunate foe. When next to her palace Sir Lancelot should go, With ten fellow-plotters the knight he would bag, To help which arrangements he rang up Sir Ag, His brother, a chap quite as wicked as he, Who gladly agreed his lieutenant to be. So these dozen fellows, from hiding one night, Sprang out on Sir Lancelot and gave him a fright. Now Lance Was a mild enough chap in his way, But when he was roused 'twas the devil to pay. So he led with his l e f t , and came on with his

right.

And soon had Sir Agravaine saying "Good-night." Then charging around, followed up with his l e f t , And five or six more of their senses bereft. Till Mordred observing his comrades go down, Remembered some business way back m the town.

These tidings the King so perceptibly pained, That Lance thought it safer to ride away hard, And sail o'er the sea to his tower. Joyous Garde.

Catastrophes seldom come singly, they say, Annoying Art further, the Queen ran away, And so against Lancelot the King went to war, And l e f t only Mordred to guard Britain's shore. In furious conflict these champions bold, With half of the knights in each party enrolled, Contending and struggling they b i f f e d and they

bashed, For months o'er the countryside clattered and

clashed.

At last they consented to call it a draw, And each of the battlers his foolishness saw. So misunderstanding and doubt passed away, And Arthur went home in the friendliest way.

THE "KIWI" COMPETITIONS.

Judge's Scathing Comments.

THE present term has proved a lean one for the " Kiwi . ' The lateness of Easter made it im-possible for intending contributors to write during the vacation, or even to polish up what they had a l ready written. T h e short notice which was all that could be given of the closing of the " K i w i " competitions, coupled with the fact that many students were busy with Tournament busi-ness, was responsible for very small entries. A s a natural corol lary, the standard reached was somewhat lower than the lofty one usual ly set by contributors to the " K i w i . " If the editor had any doubts on this score at first he had none after he had submitted to the judge , M r . A . E . M u l -gan, the manuscripts received by the closing date of the competitions.

The judge , having examined the manuscripts submitted, felt constrained to relieve his feelings,

and did so in a few terse words giving his im-pressions of what he had read. Th i s is what he s a id :

" T h e general qua l i ty is incredibly feeble, and in two classes—humorous verse and humorous prose—I decline to make an awa rd . Let the editor of the ' K iw i , ' if he must assign prizes, put the manuscripts in a hat and d raw . It is im-possible to suppose that these crude efforts are at al l representative of the best Col lege talent Either the competition has been insufficiently ad-vertised, or the best talent is too busy with other things. H a r d l y any of all this writing would find a p lace in the average secondary school maga-z ine ."

It should not be assumed that these remarks apply to everything appearing in this issue, as some contributions arrived after the competitions had closed.

The Ruins of Heidelberg. IT was a wonderful ly beautiful day in early Apr i l when I had my first glimpse of Heide lberg ; the sun was shining and the trees were showing just a faint suggestion of the palest, softest green. The ra i lway journey had been long and t ir ing— post-war travelling is not en joyable—and I emerged from a third-class carriage cramped and stiff from continued sitting upon a hard wooden seat. Scarcely had I left the ra i lway station however, than an exclamation of delight broke from me. Ra re l y have I seen anything more pictur-esque. The river flowed tranquilly along, its waters glinting in the spring sunshine. The houses were clustered near i t ; here and there a tower or steeple rising from among them; and just above them towered a huge mountain, as it seemed to me, majestic and imposing, surmounted by a mighty mass of buildings. Massive and forbid-ding they appeared to rise, and yet, as I looked again, I could see the blue sky through some of the gaps in them, and I realised that this was nothing but a ruin. Some of the tower still stood, but in other places breaches had been made in the seemingly impregnable fortress-walls.

Eager ly I made my w a y through the town, and up the steep track leading to the castle. Now it towered above me, now it seemed to be receding h-om me and lost to view. Final ly I emerged breath-less and triumphant. I appeared to be standing on the top of a high mountain looking uowu upon the town and the river below, while all around me rose thick wal ls which were separated from me by a wide moat. I crossed the draw-bridge and passed on through the darkness of the mas-sive tower, and then emerged in the courtyard of the castle. The sun shone down upon me and the leafless trees threw long shadows across the mighty masses of masonry which towered up above me on every side. H o w beautiful and how interesting it was ! Here was a mediaeval castle indeed, and yet not mediaeval, for, like many another monument of the past, it suggested many periods, as many builders and architects had added to and altered it.

Eager ly I followed a delightfully garrulous guide and passed from one part to another. There was the picturesque gothic bay and window in one portion; the restored rooms with carved and painted ceilings in another. The proportions

were most stately and harmonious. There were beauties to be noted and revelled in—exquisite mouldings and fretted stone-work, like delicate tracery, an absolute feast for the eye. Another whole side again was a mere shell, only the outer wal ls remaining to show what had been the pride and glory of Germany, the beautiful facade being the most exquisite specimen known of late Renais-sance architecture and perfect in every detail. I penetrated the dungeons below and admired the vaulting of the roof and the great supporting pillars. I listened to the legends and histories of the castle, and saw with my own eyes the famous Heidelberg Cask, so large that it is pos-sible to walk about on it. It had been flattened slightly on the very top, and a railing put round it, and a long flight of steps now leads up to it on each side. Dances have been given upon it, so the guide assured us.

It took us ful ly two hours and more to see what is still shown to the public, and as we wended our way up the stairways in the towers, along galleries and through suites of apartments I realised the importance of a stronghold in the mid-dle ages. It dominated the whole country-side. From its watch-towers the alarm was given. The entire population from the vil lage below took re-fuge in times of danger within its sheltering walls, bringing their cattle and other possessions with them. The animals could feed in the courtyard and supply the garrison with food, if the castle were besieged, and the wells were so deep that they could never fail nor run dry. Each side of the building was protected by a mighty tower, and round the outside lay the moat, so that even should the outer courtyard and tower fal l , there was still an inner one. Heidelberg had with-stood many an attack, yet later on, when cannon were causing fortresses to be more interesting as relics of a past age, and less useful for purposes of defence, this mighty castle had been stormed; its massive wal ls had been battered down in places. Af ter climbing up a circular stairway in the thickness of a tower we emerged to find ourselves on a platform, as it were. Behind us was the semi-circle formed by half the tower, but we looked out into space and no wal ls closed round us as they should have done. W a x i n g bolder and venturing nearer the edge of the plat-form on which we were standing, I looked over it and saw the other half of the tower lying far

below us, filling up the moat and covered with the moss and undergrowth that had accumulated during two hundred years.

W e were not allowed to linger long, as this was the last thing to be shown us before the guide took his departure and left us at an outer door-way . It was getting colder, as the spring after-noon was drawing to its close, and though it was with reluctance that I passed through the outer wall , I hurried my steps a little, for I wished to have another view of the whole building before it grew dusk. Close by was the inevitable res-taurant, an ugly building painted green, sur-rounded by a garden in which were a number of chairs and little tables where I suppose in the busy season tourists could drink beer or coffee. Nobody was in the garden; it was too cold, and nobody seemed to have any money to pay for anything, so no annoying waiter appeared. I sat down therefore, and was glad to rest a moment and gaze on the building I had just left. I was now exactly opposite the ruined tower, the whole of which seemed to have been cut in half from top to bottom, the front half having just fallen over into the moat. It was picturesque and extraordinary too, and as I looked, that tower appeared to me to be full of significance, and I seemed to understand many things as I had never understood them before. I realised to some ex-tent the pride of the German nation in that em-bodiment of its strength and beauty, for Heidel-berg belonged to the Germany of a bygone age before Prussia and Prussian domination had ever existed; but I realised also that for the Germans it stood as a monument of racial hatred. It meant their pride and glory, but also, their humili-ation at the hands of France. Soft green grass and undergrowth covered those fallen ruins, but beneath the moss were the remains of a fortress. Beneath the surface, so green and peaceful, still lay the suggestion of defence of watchfulness and fear. Darkness descended, and yet I sat on, thinking. The military despotism of Louis X I V . had terrorised his neighbours, and Heidelberg stood for ruthless destruction. Moss covered those frowning ruins as peace appeared to have prevailed in Europe. But the memory remained, the spirit of a military Germany existed and was there, deep down and hidden below the surface. It was to avenge the storming of Heidelberg and many other buildings that Germany ruthlessly de-stroyed later on in history. France has now her ruined areas, and she remembers too. Can racial hatred ever cease? Can nations ever forget? Sadly I wandered down the hill again, for I was

stiff and cold, and as "I could not answer my own questions I consoled myself by deciding that I was doubly blessed, for fate had wil led that I should belong to an island country, whose fron-tier was the ocean and not the debatable shore of a river or an artificial barrier.

Once more I turned and looked at the castle. The Easter moon had risen and was high in the heavens, floating majestically across the sky. The wal ls looked dark and menacing, standing out black and grim in the moonshine, but the pale beams fell upon them and silvered the outlines of the carved turrets and ornamental stone-work still remaining, while each loophole and opening was filled with a soft, pale light, which seemed to give life and animation to the old castle, and almost suggested that it might be inhabited by tiny sprites and elves. Perhaps they were the spirits of the past. W h o knows?

Advance Modes for Men.

1 9 2 8 FASHIONS.

(By "Jacques.")

Our sketch shows the delightful style that will be worn generally in 1 9 2 8 by the men who really know. The wide trousers are a lready the vogue, relieving the harsh lines of the old style, but one hears whispers that next year will evi-dence greater strides towards a softer, more aesthetic fashion for men.

This charming ensemble features a black velvet waistcoat cut on simple lines. The white georgette shirt has the popular paysan fullness and Oxford sleeves. A novel and decidedly effec-tive note is struck by the smart mauve satin crepe skirtee that is seen so much in Par is this season. It tones in with the crushed mulberry of the taffeta bags, which are softened at the hems by mauve silk georgette. The neckbow is also of mauve georgette. Even the tiniest detail must add to the effect of the ensemble, ear-rings and cigarette holder being of jet to match the coat. The Oxford sandals in black add pleas-ingly to the modish suit. Tonsorial tattle dictates that the already popular 'Vars i ty moustache shall be black, while, to be truly comme il faut, the coiffure should be Sperrin cut and Mar -celled. If artificial flesh-tinting is fol-lowed, the prevailing tone should be mauve. F . M . H .

The C.U. and War.

" WHEN the next war breaks out ," said Mr . E. F. T n, a prominent member of the C . U . , in the course of an interview with the " Kiwi ' s " special representative—" W h e n the next war breaks out I shall at once offer my services to the authorities."

This statement was made when M r . T n was asked his views on war in China and in general, and if he wished to make any comment on the alarming news of impending conflict in the East recently published.

I shall raise a regiment consisting of members of the C . U . , " said Mr . T n. " Yes , of course, I shall be Colonel. You understand my purpose in enlisting only Christian Unionists. I have in mind the success of the army of the ' Christian General , ' Marsha l beng, to quote a modern example. Dr. Mott told us all about him on the occasion of his visit last year. Then, of course, there is the story of Cromwell 's Iron-sides in our own history. In fact, history con-tains countless examples of a general leading his men in prayer before leading them into battle. Yes, I had almost forgotten the incident of Bruce before Bannockburn. Then, of course, there was Henry V . at Agincourt.

" You see my idea ," continued M r . T n, enthusiastically; " my idea is this: It has been proved by historical example that soldiers inspired by religious ideals are more terrifying, blood-thirsty, reckless, and, what is of greater consid-eration, more obedient to the command of their officers than pagan, heathen or non-Christian war-riors.

" Visualise me, then," he continued, waxing eloquent, " declaiming to my men in the presence of fivefold foes, like King Henry V : ' Do we all holy rites; let there be sung Nobis and T e Deum.' Then, and not till then, would I turn on the poison gas and liquid fire.

" The objects, aims and ideals of the Christian Union," said Mr . T n, reverting to a former topic of conversation, " are too well known to need repetition. It is inculcating worthy ideals into the minds of 'Varsi ty men in every country in the world. These men, by reason of their education, will be the military officers of to-mor-row, so that we may expect the coming war ,

which the Navy League and the Boy Scouts are doing their utmost to prevent by following out their motto, ' Be Prepared, ' will be much more refined and humane than previous struggles. 1 too am doing all I can to be prepared and hope, should war appear imminent,, to preserve peace by striking terror into the minds of warmongers by the might of my organised Christian Unionists. W h a t Marshal Feng and Cromwell have done, I, too, can accomplish."

Questioned as to the extent of the Christian Unionists' activities, Mr . T n said that speaking from memory, it had branches in 5 8 countries and 2 , 5 6 3 Universities, with an aggre-gate of 3 , 5 6 4 , 0 0 0 student members. National-ity counted for nothing with the Union. It was international.

In answer to a further question as to the re-sult, should his Christian Union regiment be op-posed by a similar regiment, raised similarly in one of the 5 8 countries, each of which was our po-tential enemy, M r . T n said he was not quite certain. H e believed that the divine assistance would be on his side. That seemed the only reasonable conclusion because our cause was al-ways just, as for instance in the famous opium war of last century in China. Moreover, to quote an old say ing: " Thrice is he armed who gets his blow in fust ."

However ," concluded Mr . T n, " you have raised an interesting point which I shall bring up at the next meeting of the C . U . Execu-tive, with a view to having it sent as a remit to the forthcoming conference in Pek ing ."

WINGS OF THE WIND.

The sighing sound of summer s u r f , The rustle of the palms,

A footstep light upon the t u r f , All call me to your arms.

The throb and thrash of pounding seas, The creating of the mast,

A good ship taut before the breeze Shall bring me home at last.

The Inter-Faculty Sports.

Notable among the performers at this year 's Inter-faculty Sports, were L . C. Wi l l i ams, who won the sprint double and A . M . Matheson, who accounted for both the hurdle races, while F. Va l l ance and F. T iza rd proved themselves a pair of excellent distance runners, winning the mile and three miles respectively.

J . S . Wa t t , a most brilliant half-miler. ran the distance in amazingly low time, but owing to the fact that there were only two watches on him he could not qual i fy for the record. J . H . Tet ley jumped exceptionally well , and we feel confident in expecting better things from him. In the shot-putting and hammer-throwing events, we have never previously possessed any talent, but this meeting discovered in H . L. Gray , V . C . Butler, and E. F. Thompson a trio which is likely to prove troublesome in the future.

3 2 2 Queen Street - - AUCKLAND

May, 1927 T H E K I W I l'age Twenty-five.

The Easter Tournament. EMINENTLY successful from every point of view was this year 's New Zealand Inter-University-College Tournament. Having waited for five years for the return of the Tournament to this city Auck land was determined to show its appreciation of the honour done it. It showed that appreciation so effec-tively as to amaze and almost startle itself. In the first place the Gods of the Weather provided a succession of those gloriously fine days which have been little more than a pleasant but rather misty memory with Aucklanders this year. Responding to this stimulus the Auckland representatives per-formed so creditably that the College now holds the Tournament Shield, the Tennis Cup, the Has-lam Shield, the Basketball Shield, and, in con-junction with Otago, the Boxing Shield.

The winning of the Tournament Shield was so unexpected and so unhoped-for that even now no one knows quite how it was done. It is hoped, however, that, profiting by the knowledge gained from this one experience, Auck land will know how to retain the Shield in future.

Tournament proceedings were opened on Good Fr iday morning when the Southern delegates ar-rived by the second express. The optimistic party of Aucklanders who arrived at the station at the hour appointed by the timetable found it necessary to fill in with sundry diversions a period of nearly two hours before the train arrived. A good deal of the waiting time was spent in parad-ing the lower part of Queen Street and every corner of the ra i lway station " en crocodile," and in giving hakas and other entertainments for the watching crowds. On the arrival of the train a Canterbury war-party appeared from nowhere and was in the midst of a haka almost before the waiting Aucklanders had had time to commence their own welcoming cry.

It was not until Saturday morning that the Tournament proper began with the tennis matches on the Stanley Street courts, and the boxing con-tests in the Town Ha l l . The appearance of a bonnie kewpie in the Otago section of the Town Hal l in the evening led to a sudden melee in the midst of the seats as a result of which tne kewpie was beheaded and dismembered, and the seats suffered almost equal injury.

In the afternoon the rowing contest between Auck land and Victoria Colleges was held. The first effort ended in a fiasco, but on a second attempt Victoria defeated Auck land with com-parative ease.

Delegates and friends were taken for a motor drive through the city on Easter Sunday afternoon, and in the evening attended St. Matthew's Church.

On the Monday the athletic championships were held at the Domain cricket ground and Auck land proved fortunate enough to palm off the Wooden Spoon to Canterbury. The appearance of an Easter egg of large size at the head of a Canter-bury contingent in the afternon provided the excuse for a short frolic in which the egg was reduced to a tattered remnant of wire and canvas. Later Auck land ' s kiwi met with an equal ly sad fate after an even more exciting tussle. During the whole Tournament there was no appearance of anything resembling a mascot for the Victoria College delegation, an oversight as unjustifiable as it was regrettable.

During the Monday morning the basketball con-tests were held at the College, the Auck land team giving a wonderful display and winning both the first round and the final by overwhelming margins.

The festivities reached a climax on Monday evening when the gal lery of the Town Ha l l Con-cert Chamber was packed to suffocation by an expectant crowd of students. The surplus energy of the audience was responsible for one or two unconventional and unscheduled incidents, but on the whole the speakers were given exceptionally generous treatment. Near the end of the first debate, however, the hurling of several missiles selected from the vegetable kingdom brought the meeting to an abrupt ending so far as the student section of the audience was concerned. This was the only incident to mar an otherwise almost per-fect Tournament.

On Tuesday the tennis finals were p layed at the Stanley Street courts, and in the evening the Tour-nament Ba l l in Scots Ha l l brought the official festivities to a close.

On Wednesday morning " George Bai led-Out " officiated at the College at a mock reception, which was followed by a mock tournament.

In the evening the departing delegates were fare-welled with due ceremony by the Auck land repre-sentatives who, after a wait of nearly an hour,

i'acje. Twenty-six* T H E K I W i May, 192J

caused by the late departure of the train, marked their regret at the conclusion of the Tournament by " crocodiling " through the city and delivering hakas at all convenient points. A haka at the band rotunda in Albert Pa rk proved most incon-venient for those who were a l ready in occupation of this secluded spot.

The Tournament from beginning to end was an outstanding success and quite a number of dele-gates of several years' standing declared it to be the best they had attended. W h i l e accepting their due measure of congratulations for their success the Auck land students responsible for the conduct of the Tournament should not forget to render grateful thanks to the Gods of the Weather .

BOXING.

Little did those enthusiasts present at the Box-ing Championships on March 22nd realise that they were watching future New Zealand amateur champions in action.

Since the formation of the Boxing Club to-wards the end of last term, classes have been held with increasing attendances. Good entries were received for the Championships, twenty-eight com-petitors entering the ring.

For the first time in the history of the College, the winners take the title of Auck land University College Champion. Previously we have found difficulty in securing enough for a team to repre-sent us at Tournament, but, thanks to the efforts of this club, much greater interest in the sport is now being aroused.

The first title winners of the A . U . C . Cham-pionships w e r e : —

Bantam: V . C. R ickards ; Feather : C. K. Stubbs; Light : R . T . Henderson; W e l t e r : N. C . Jenkin; Middle , J . D. Wi l l i s ; H e a v y : G. N. h rear.

A l l these winners were selected to represent A . U . C . at Easter, and immediately went into strict training. Strong teams were nominated from the South, but the Club had hopes of achieving that which Auck land had never achieved before—to win the Boxing Shield.

The preliminaries heid on the Saturday evening gave us four winners. Results were as fo l lows :—

Bantam W e i g h t : W . McAlevey ( O . U . ) , 8st. 51bs., won easily from R . G. Hampton, 8st. 21bs. V . C. R ickard ( A . U . C ) , drew a bye.

Featherweight: D. N. Ferguson ( O . U . ) , 9st. 21bs., beat R . A . Chester ( C . U . C . ) , 9st l ib . W . E. Wilson ( V . U . C ) , 9st. l ib . , defeated C. Kw. Stubbs ( A . U . C . ) , 8st. 1 31bs. A most unin-teresting bout. Stubbs having been away , was in no condition, and made a poor showing. The bout was stopped and awarded to Wilson in the fourth round.

Lightweight ; G. R . Richardson ( V . U . C ) , 9st. 81bs„ beat S . Foley ( O . U . ) , 9st. 81bs. Foley showed himself to be an agile boxer, and lost by a narrow margin after a good fight to a clever boxer. R . T . Henderson ( A . U C . ) , 9st. 1 Olbs. beat F. R . Davis ( C . U . C . ) , 9st. 121bs. Hen-derson adopted the orthodox upright stance, and boxed coolly. Davis forced, but held when in close, being repeatedly warned by the referee. In the third round Henderson landed good blows, Davis trying to clinch. In the fourth Henderson continued to outbox his opponent, who was eventu-al ly disqualified for holding.

Wel ter W e i g h t : D. G. Grant ( C . U . C . ) , 1 Ost. 81bs., beat W . Harr is ( V . U . C . ) , 1 Ost 41bs. Neither showed much skill, and many punches were wide. L . Cotter ( O . U . ) , 10st., beat N. C. Jenkin ( A . U . C . ) , 1 Ost. 51bs. This bout was fought at a fast pace throughout, Cotter attack-ing for the first two rounds. Jenkin carried the fight to his opponent in the next round, and hard punches were exchanged. Jenkin, who was ahead on points, was dropped by a hard knock to the point. His head came heavily in contact with the floor, dazing him. H e immediately struggled up, but was dropped for the full count just before time. It was a good, fast fight, and Cotter had been hard pressed.

Middle-weight : D. S . Al len ( O . U . ) , l i s t , l ib . , beat E. E. Chamberlain ( V . U . C . ) , 1 Ost. 1 31bs. There was a good deal of wrestling and wi ld hitting in this bout. J . D. Wi l l i s ( A . U . C . ) , lOst. I l l b s . , beat H. S . Weston ( C . U . C . ) , 1 1st. 21bs. Wi l l i s concentrated on body blows, land-ing repeatedly with both right and left, varied with straight lefts to the face. The last two rounds were fought at a good pace, Wi l l i s , the more scientific boxer, getting the decision.

Heavy-weight : J . S. Batchelor ( O . U . ) , 12st., beat A . R . Smith ( C . U . C . ) , 12st., after an ex-cellent fight. Heavy blows were traded, Batche-lor gaining the decision by a narrow margin. C . N. Frear ( A . U . C . ) , 12st. 81bs., beat J . Platts-

M ay, 1Q2J T H E K I W I /'aye Twenty-seven.

Mil ls ( V . U . C . ) , 12st. 5lbs. A willing bout, with Frear crowding his man all the time Both men indulged in swinging in the first three rounds, but in the last Frear attacked with straight left jabs and gained the decision.

Finals :

Bantam We igh t : V . C. Rickard ( A . U . C . ) , 8st. 5lbs., beat W . McAlevey ( O . U . ) , 8st. 5lbs. A fast, clean bout, with Rickard showing greater science and holding the upper hand throughout. The winner used a good straight left, and em-ployed his right well . McAlevey was inclined to swing his right too much, though he punched with power.

Feather We igh t : D. N. Ferguson ( O . U . ) , 9st. 21bs., beat W . E. Wilson ( V . U . C . ) , 9st l ib . Though outclassed, the loser made a game show-ing, and fought back well until the fight was stop-ped in the fourth round.

Light We igh t : R . T . Henderson ( A . U . C . ) , 9st. lOlbs., beat G. R . Richardson ( V . U . C . ) , 9st. 81bs. Henderson attacked strongly for the first three rounds, connecting often with straight lefts, and piling up the points. Richardson came with a rush in the lest round, but could not make up the leeway, Henderson gaining a popular de-cision.

Wel ter We i gh t : L . Cotter ( O . U . ) , 10st., beat D. G. Grant ( C . U . C . ) , 1 Ost. 81bs. Af ter the first round a fast pace was tet, both looking for knock-outs. A t the end both were groggy, but Cotter, the fresher, received the decision.

M i d d l e W e i g h t : J . D. Wi l l i s ( A . U . C . ) , 1 Ost. l l l b s . , beat W . S . Al len ( O . U . ) , l i s t l ib . Wi l l i s did the attacking for the first two rounds, again concentrating on the body. Al len attacked in the third round, his opponent replying with body blows and straight lefts to the face. Al len was warned by the referee for holding. The last two rounds were fought at a fast pace, Wi l l i s scoring in the open work and gaining the decision. A great demonstration followed at the conclusion of this fight, as it was now impossible for Auck-land to do less than tie for the boxing shield.

Heavy Weight:/ J . S . Batchelor ( O . U . ) , 12st„ beat G. N. Frear ( A . U . C . ) , 12st. 81bs. A good fast bout. Batchelor mixed his punches well, while Frear used a straight left and a right to the ribs. The Otago man in the last round connected with rights and lefts to the head, Frear scoring on the body. Batchelor was ahead on points and gained the decision.

Otago and Auck land thus tied for the boxing shield with three wins each.

V . C. R ickard ( A . U . C . ) , was awarded the medal presented by the Mayor , Mr . G. Baildon, for the most scientific display of boxing given at the Tournament.

The Auckland winners are to be heartily con-gratulated on their success, and the losers on the excellent fights they put up. Our thanks are due to Mr . Henry Donovan for his keen and enthusi-astic coaching. Never has A . U . C . been repre-sented by such a strong combination, and we may look in the future to still greater success on the part of our representatives in the ring.

ATHLETICS.

THE fact that the tournament was this year held in Auckland was probably one of the causes of the Auckland Athletics Club's renewed activities, which bore fruit in such a gratifying fashion.

Although we were well behind the winners, the fact that we scored 83- points for the Shield as compared with the 0 points scored last year and further that we lost the wooden spoon for only the second time in our career seems to witness the fact that a definite step in our advancement has been made.

Fl. L. Grey, L . C. Wi l l i ams (two events) , and J . A . Tetley were the men who gave us our points.

The whole meeting was a triumphant success, both from the point of view of performances (three records were shattered) and from the success with which it was conducted. For this we must thank all the officials of the day . Special thanks are due to the groundkeepers of the Domain and to our coach, Mr . T . Davis, all of whom helped us in every way . A delightful afternoon tea was arranged by the Ladies ' House Committee, for which the Athletics Club would offer them its hearty thanks. The voluntary gatekeepers, who did invaluable work, also deserve high praise.

The results were as f o l l o w : —

Putting 1 61bs. Shot : In the preliminary elimin-ating throws H . L . Grey, A . U . C . , managed in his last throw to surpass his rivals, and was left in the final to pit his strength against Morgan and Lindsay, both of Otago. Unti l Grey 's last shot the positions were Morgan, Grey, Lindsay, but

jVage Twenty-eight. T H E K I W I May, 192J

with a strong, sure effort the Auck land represen-tative sent the shot beyond the furthest peg. Mor-gan's answering effort proved a failure, and gave Auck land its first win. Grey 's distance was 35 ft. 8 l -4 in . , excelling Morgan 's best attempt by 8 1 -4ins.

2 2 0 Y a r d s : A fine start saw L . C. Wi l l i ams , A . U . C . , leap instantly into the lead. Running smoothly and strongly he rapidly increased his l ead , a n d in a magnif icent finishing b u r s t b r o k e t h e

tape in time equal to the record of 2 2 4-5sees. The watches actual ly registered 2 2 7-10secs. , the margin of l -10sec . being insufficient to set a new record. Brownlee was second and Freeman third.

One Mi le R u n : The field left the mark to an exceptionally fast first lap, Gilchrist pacing Priestley over the 4 4 0 yards in 58secs. In the second lap Gilchrist retired, as did Va l l ance of A . U . C . , and Priestley led the field, closely at-tended by J aylor, of Canterbury. These two runners soon broke away , Tay lo r hanging to the leader till the bell. then commenced a terrific duel over the whole of the last lap, the two men struggling stride for stride. Rounding the home bend Priestley still led, and, by a titanic effort in the straight, increased his lead to win in the record time of 4mins. 2 6 4-5secs. Tay lor hung on grimly and followed him in, exhausted, a second or so later.

Long Jump : Kalaugher , V . U . C . , and Tet ley , A . U . C . , were left first and second in the elimin-ating jumps, and remained so in the final, Kalau-gher winning by less than two inches with a leap of 21f t . 9 1 -4in. Tet ley was unfortunate in marring what looked like a winning leap by breaking ground with his hands. The pit, how-ever, was not well prepared, and the judges ' task must have been difficult.

4 4 0 Ya rds Hurdles : Af te r leading all the way , H . D. Morgan, O . U . C . , present champion and record-holder, breasted the tape in what is for him the somewhat slow time of 61 3-5secs. Douglas, O . U . , was second.

120 Y a r d s Hurdles:1 Kalaugher and Morgan each won a heat. The two showed out from the rest of the field in the final, Kalaugher , hurdling in good style, winning in 16 2-5secs. A . M . Matheson, A . U . C . , showed good promise, follow-ing the two placed men in by a creditably small margin.

8 8 0 Y a r d s : The present champion, C. B. Al len V . U . C . , was again superior, his team mate Priestley running into second place, after being

interfered with in the home bend. The time was 2mins. 2 4-5 sees.

H ammer Throwing : Otago again claimed this event, which they have secured eighteen times in the last twenty years. 1 heir successful represen-tative this year was J . L. Dimond, who threw the hammer some hundred odd feet.

100 Yards H a t : Wi l l i ams repeated his earlier performance in the 2 2 0 yards by winning convinc-ingly in 10 l-5secs. Brownlee and Freeman were again placed next in order.

Mi le W a l k : This was recognised as the ex-clusive property of G. S . Cabot, present New Zealand champion. He claimed it comfortably, winning in the comparatively slow time of 7min. 1 2secs. Rollings, walking gamely, followed him in, but was disqualified for lifting in the straight, and J . Platts-Mil ls , V . U . C . , secured second hon-ours.

High Jump : G. E. Carter, the last Auck land representative, dropped out at about 5 ft. 6ms., leaving Sceats and Kalaugher, both of Victoria, to worry it out betwen them. After two failures to increase, Kalaugher retired at 5ft . 8 5-8ins. Sceats continued a most spectacular display, event-ual ly clearing the bar at 5ft . 1 1 ins., and making a new record with a splendid effort. His style is somewhat unique, and as he looks capable of fur-ther improvement, he should shortly be heard of again. The jumps of both Kalaugher and Sceats surpassed the previous record.

4 4 0 Ya rd s F l a t : A fine start saw McLeod, A . U . C . , take the lead, which he held for the first part of the distance. Smith and Al lan , both of Victoria , took charge in the bend, A l l an de-feating the present champion by a narrow margin in 53secs.

Three Miles F l a t : T izard , A . U . C . , and T a y -lor, C . U . C . , sorted themselves out from the field by the first mile, T iza rd pacing Tay lor round the remainder of the distance until the home bend in the last lap. Here Tay lor took charge, and with a good spurt, to which T iza rd was unable to re-spond, won the race in the time of 15mins. 41 4-5secs. T izard arrived a few seconds later.

T u g - o f - W a r : A b l y captained by Mr . D. M . Rae , the Auck land team won the first pull. Otago proved too strong in the final, defeating them in two consecutive pulls, both hard-fought.

Re l a y R a c e : Otago gained a lead over the early distances, which two fast Auck land sprinters could not reduce sufficiently. Victoria were sec-ond and Canterbury third.

May, 192J T H E K I W I Page Turnty ninc.

100 Yards Muft i Dash : This was the star at-traction of the day . There was an astounding start, and an even more exciting finish. 1 he official programme gives the results as first,

second, and third. It is not known what the time was, as the tape men had gone away for a drink.

A meeting at which the 2 2 0 Ya rds was run in 22 4-5sees., the 100 Ya rd s in 10 1-5, and the mile in 4mins. 1 6 4-5secs., while the high jump was won at 5ft . 1 1 ins., can be called noth-ing but successful from everybody's point of view —this despite the fact that the final points were : Victoria, 17 ; Otago, 15 ; Auck land , 8 ; Canter-bury, 3.

TENNIS.

( B y Bystander).

If the players competing in the Easter Tourna-ment this year did not reach their best form, "at least they could not fair ly lay the blame to t i e conditions under which the tennis was played. It is as well that this was so, as the whole fate of the Tournament Shield hung eventually on the Tennis events.

The competitors this year were on the whole a new lot. Many of them had competed before, but on the whole the tennis teams were remark-able for the absence of several of the Old Bri-gade, this being particularly the case in the South-ern teams. John Fulton of Otago did not come up, nor did Robinson or R . B. Loughnan of Canterbury; while the entire ladies' ceam of c.u.c. in 1926 (Misses Snowden and Saunders and the Partridge sisters) were notable absentees.

The fact of the title-holders all being absent made the events very open. Few gave Chisholm ( O . U . ) , any chance in the M e n s Singles. For my own part I fancied L . Ferkins ( V . U . C . ) , had a good chance, while if he failed I gave Hubble ( A . U . C . ) , and Hunter ( C . U . C . ) about equal chances. Hubble, however, failed to strike form in the singles events. After beating Smithson ( C . U . C . ) in a not too convincing manner, he was signally defeated by Chisholm in straight sets. Ferkins, on the other side of the draw, proved too steady for Hunter, to whom I will refer later. The final between herkins and Chisholm provided excellent tennis, and Chisholm thoroughly deserved his win. Using his severe forehand drive to its full advantage, he rushed the net repeatedly to

volley. His smashing (part icular ly to the fore-hand) was excellent, and his untiring activity again and again enabled him to return, and eventually to win, shots that had seemed already lost.

In the Men's Doubles V . U . C . were put out in the first round. The two Otago pairs seemed to have a good chance, but were beaten in the semi-finals, leaving the final to be fought out between Hubble and Nicholson ( A . U . C . ) , and Flunter and Smithson ( C . U . C . ) The Canterbury pair, though individually brilliant, lacked combination, and frequently drove out where lobs would have proved quite effective. Then tended, too, to play " one up and one back , " due, no doubt, to in-sufficient practice together. Superior combina-tion gave the Aucklanders the event. Hubble played up to his best form for the only time dur-ing the tournament. H e was greatly assisted by his partner, whose peculiar style conceals from the casual onlooker the fact that his position and court craft are irreproachable. Time after time it was Nicholson's apparently easy shots which formed the basis of a movement which was to culminate in a brilliant kill by Flubble.

The Auck land second string (Andrews and North) , are worthy of mention for the sterling struggle they put up in the first round, when they nearly defeated the finalists (Hunter and Smith-son) . The Aucklanders lacked the match ex-perience necessary to clinch their advantage. They were at times inclined to hit shots which would have gone out.

The Ladies ' Singles went to Miss Mil ler . This was anticipated, as she had previously won the event, and Miss Partr idge was not playing this year . Miss Scott, of C . U . C . , whom she met in the final, is a player of distinct promise. Since the writer first saw her play at a country club three years ago, she has improved wonder-ful ly . She possesses a good fighting tempera-ment, and has the physical strength necessary for a tournament involving play in three events. Her formidable forehand drive and her speed on the court will render her an opponent to be feared in future tournaments. Miss Bal lantyne, of Otago, is another lady who, the writer predicts, will wear a black blazer before long. Her style and man-ner are very reminiscent of her sister, and her beautiful forehand drive and quickness m seeing and volleying the ball at the net will put her into the front rank one of these days.

M iss Mil ler ' s play has been reviewed be-fore in this magazine. She has a rather more severe forehand than formerly, and has improved

}'<t(!( Thirty• T H E K I W I May, iQ2~

by this addition to her stock of shots. Her won-derful length and imperturbable cheerfulness still form her chief assets as a singles player.

In the Ladies ' Doubles the A . U . C . pair con-tested the final. They were easily the best com-bination. Misses Mil ler and Muel ler , who won, won on temperament as much as anything. Miss Muel ler is a doubles player of considerable abil ity, and her intelligent handling of difficult situations is a tremendous help to her energetic partner. Misses Whi t e l aw and Brownlee had hard luck not to get a New Zealand Blue after going so far. I heir style was in distinct contrast to their opponents in the final. I was glad to see the girls rush the net together, and hope they will persevere in this perfectly correct formation, which will win them bigger events than 'Vars i ty tourna-ments.

T w o other players worthy of special mention are Miss Whi t e l aw ( A . U . C . ) , and Hunter ( C . U . C . ) Miss Wh i t e l aw did excellently to defeat Miss Shepherd (the V . U . C . first str ing) , in straight sets. She just fai led to beat Miss Wi the-row ( O . U . ) , for the right to contest the final. Miss Whi t e l aw ' s tennis was, from a stylist's point of view, the prettiest seem in the ladies' events, and she volleyed throughout in a most attractive manner. Hunter ( C . U . C . ) , deserves great praise for his performance in reaching two finals, and winning the combined doubles with Miss Scott. He is an engineer at the Huia Dam, and up to a few days before Tournament had had no practice at all for weeks. He " played himself in " during the tournament, and finished by winning the Com-bined Doubles with a partner with whom he had never played before. Hunter is very popular with the crowd, because he is never frightened to go for a winner; and to his courage in going for win-ning drives he owes his win.

Ha rdy ( A . U . C . ) , played only in the Combined Doubles. He and Miss Muel ler played very well together, and had hard luck in losing to Fer-kins and Miss Shepherd. Hardy ' s wonderful work as skipper deserves great praise, and to their captain more than anyone, the A . U . C . team should award its chief credit for their victory. Practice is the key to success at Tournament, and the A . U . C . team, for the first time in the writer's experience, had sufficient practice together before Tournament.

The Match Committee (Messrs . R . B . Hardy , J . C. Andrews, and A . K. Turner ) carried out a difficult task excellently. T h e arrangements of the whole tournament were first class, and the

committee forgot nothing. The umpiring was good, and, without singling out individuals unduly, 1 will conclude by paying my small tribute to the work of Mr . C . D. Butler in the umpire's chair.

THE DEBATE.

THE wisdom of crowding the gallery of the Town Ha l l Concert Chamber with a dense throng of students during the 1 ournament debate while the body of the hall remained comparatively sparsely filled was questionable, but on the whole" the re-sults were good. The volume of noise arising from the gallery was, considering the circumstances, surprisingly small. A s a matter of fact it was at times possible to catch disjointed sentences uttered by the speakers, although they were not gifted with particularly strong voices. Before the opening of the debate, of course, the noise was unrestrained and haka competed with haka again and again. A t one time a hapless student who appeared in an extremely fancy costume was seized and par-tially disrobed and then passed from hand to hand over the heads of his captors. But for the most part the noise was kept within reasonable bounds during the early part of the debate. Then a / " crocodile " which slowly wended its sinuous way down one of the aisles and suddenly disgorged upon the stage three live hens let loose pande-monium. This little incident would doubtless have blown over but for an unfortunate event which occurred at almost the same moment. Some member of the audience, apparently devoid of any sense of responsibility, flung a persimmon which landed fairly on the judges' table and burst, splash-ing the judges liberally. Natural ly enough the judges refused to continue their task while the students remained in the hall. It would not have been surprising had they flatly refused to carry on with their duties under any circumstances. This disgraceful incident led to the debate being con-cluded in an entirely changed atmosphere. W i th the student element gone, the contest, it is stated by those who were privileged to remain, proved dull and flat, there being no interjections from the members of the public present. The ejected students, after holding a somewhat abortive mass meeting on the Civic Square site, " crocodiled " back to the Town Hal l , but failing to gain re-admittance, wended their way to College, giving hakas en route. In the meantime the debate in the Concert Chamber was not quite undisturbed. One speaker found himself compelled for a time

May, 1927 T H E K I W I Pa ye Thirty-one.

to compete with a cat and dog fight beneath his feet. A little later two apparitions appeared sud-denly from a mysterious opening in front of the stage, solemnly shook hands, and departed sever-ally to the back of the hall . 1 he Auckland repre-sentatives failed to win the honours in the debate, but their supporters are justified in believing that they would have appeared at their best in a contest with a noisy audience.

BASKETBALL.

THE Inter-'Varsity Basketball matches were played on the College court early on Easter Mon-day , when brilliant sunshine added greatly to the enjoyment of the crowd of barrackers. F rom the first throw-up in the opening game Auck land led the scoring with quick clean passing and accurate goaling. Otago fought pluckily, but failed to break the combination of the home team's centres and goals. Aga in and again the quick-silver play of the teams drew astonished applause from the football enthusiasts on the sideline; this first game was a revelation to the uninitiatea. A t half-time Auck land ' s victory was secure, and for the rest of the game Otago played a sturdy losing fight. On the few occasions when the ball reached the Otago end Miss Morrell , the captain, goaled well but the scores ended 5 9 — 9 against Otago.

In the next game, Canterbury v. Victoria, the play was more equal, but the standard of play was decidedly inferior to that of the earlier game. Victoria soon took the l ead : the scores, however, were fairly close until the second half , when C . U . C . was outclassed 3 7 — 1 8 . Miss Carty , the tall Victoria goal, shot successfully throughout the game, but it was noticeable that the Southern-ers' style of shooting single-handed gave the defence greater opportunities of upsetting the aim. This game suffered through comparison with the quick, accurate play of the Aucklanders, who, meeting the Victoria team in the finals, again demonstrated the value of scientific coaching. The game ended 7 8 — 3 4 ; . a very high score in basketball . This account may seem merely an appreciation of the home team; it is more than that, it is an apprecia-tion of science in a popular sport. A . U . C . may go a long way before it gets a better basketball combination than that shown by E. W a n n , J . Mueller, J . Mcintosh, Y . Orbell and M . Adams .

ROWING.

1 HE chronicler of Auck land ' s effort in the un-official rowing contest between A . U . C . and V . U . C . has practical ly completed his task if he says that A . U . C . ' s hopes were thoroughly soused with cold water. A t it was the first contest of the kind yet held in New Zealand the result was awaited with keen anticipation, but when the race began the water proved too choppy and the A . U . C . boat commenced to hll and sank off Judge ' s Bay . The starter's launch picked up the bedraggled crew and towed the boat back to the boathouse. The Victoria boat was also in danger of swamping

but the crew managed to reach shore without hav-ing to swim. The race was then rowed later in the day, the course being changed nearer the shore, from Orakei Bay to Campbel l 's Point. The Victoria crew gradual ly drew ahead from the time Hobson B a y was reached, and had a lead of about six lengths when Point Resolution was passed. Auck land decreased the gap slightly before the end of the race, but Victoria won by about five lengths.

NIGHT—AND DAY.

\ he evening was very calm. Through a rift of silver cloud moonlight drifted over the darkness of bush val ley, and through the quivering fern and scrub of a great hill slope. On its brow a solitary figure was limned in deeper blackness upon the night sky. It was 1 arati, priest of the Ngatitoa. Part of the calm night scene, he stood, motionless as the great branching palm tree close by in whose sacred grove he had come to meditate. It was the hour of meditation. On such a night came forth the poets and prophets of all ages to gaze upon a dim-lit world in Persia, India, Greece, Jerusalem, and for an hour those strangely differ-ent scenes were all one, viewed through the medium of a released human soul: for the seers of the world are the oldest of all brotherhoods—and the closest.

Tarat i could hear the distant lapping of the waves at the foot of the slope, and the breeze moved quietly among the long leaves of the palm tree, but his eyes were fixed, with a gaze that saw not, on a faint streak of light, the meeting place of sky and sea, there where it opened out into the great ocean of Kiwa . Presently he spoke: spoke low tremulous words that rose and fell co-mingling with the stirrings of the night.

" There, far over the waters are strange wonders: There lies the great path of the sea w a y ; Thither came we in our war canoes, Strong the pulling of the war canoes Against the leaping tide Against the leaping The racing

The skipping tide. There where the waters are gleaming There far over the tide-way come wonders Strange wonders, being born of the Parentless; They are God-men! They come! I see them come! I am blinded with seeing strong lightnings; The night wind is lost in great noises; The sea way is thronged with their coming;

A s the fern they have covered the slope: They are here! They go not! Gone is the Pa lm tree. A l ack , gone, the pa yonder. They are here! T hey stay. They go! they go.

They s tay ! A lack , alack, my people,

A l a c k ! "

The quavering voice ceased. The figure crumbled from the skyline to a dark heap be-neath the palm tree. A bank of clouds surged over the moon, blotting out the hillside in dark-ness. The gleam of silver faded from the distant sea-line, but the waves still lapped un-heeding at the base of the darkened slope, symbol of the passing of time.

" And this is our tower! Grand view of the harbour from the seat in the window here. Over there is the Channel, and nearer you can see where the land is being reclaimed—most of the town up to the foot of the hill here is on reclaimed land. H a ! none of you Southerners can boast a better view than that from your Universities. Our hill was a lways a kind of landmark—cab-bage tree or something just where this tower w a s — eld Maor i stuff you know! And , what d ' ye say to our tennis courts! Come on down, we've time for a set before dinner."

SHE.

Sl(in of shimmering satin that yet is silky s o f t , Laughing lips that lure a man beyond himself a l o f t , Cheek °f cherub roundness that's splashed with

cherries crushed, Brofv that Bacchus might have fyiss'd, and kissing

might have blushed.

Tiny hand so perfect shaped and yet rvithal so strong, ,

Ready smile and rippling laugh that make of Life a song,

Tender eyest that ambush'd lie 'neath lashes ex-quisite,

Spring forth upon unrvary man and claim his heart f o r f e i t .

She'll torture, comfort, tempt, reprove, attract— then cruelly shun,

Bid Man despair for ever—and lo! is twinkling fun,

She's neither dark nor falT> maid, nor is she short or tall,

Unnamed I find and leave her—the Epitome of all.

BEYOND THE SUNSET.

" W I N D ! T a k e me with you 011 your t r ave l s , ' whispered the wee child, and the wind asked softly, " Do you real ly wish i t ? " T h e tiny head nodded slowly, but blue eyes looked eager ly , and the lips, like dew-drenched rose leaves, parted in a sweet, tired smile.

Soon the child was in the wind's arms, sweep-ing high over city towers, or bending low over a grassy plain, while a lways the wind 's breath, scents of a hundred lovely things, tossed the child s curls and murmured caressingly in his ear.

" W h e r e are we going, dear W i n d ? " asked the child at last, as he stared with eyes wonder-wide at an ocean that stretched beneath them. " Look to the west, little o n e ! " answered W i n d , and waved to show the w a y . Fa r across the waters, where sea and sky met in a close embrace, the setting sun lingered a while in its g lo ry—gold and yel low and crimson and green—and the child clapped his tiny hands. " Oh, beaut i fu l ! A n d are we going the re ?" he whispered. For answer the W i n d nodded, and smiled.

Lower and lower the sun sank, till at last, as though eager to make up for lost time, it plunged quickly, leaving a rift in the painted sky. Sw i f t l y the wind and the child slipped through, taking one last look at the darkening world behind them.

In front was a beautiful country. Glorious flowers flung their scents into the air, and birds flooded the place with song. A crystal spring bubbled at their feet and mingled its voice with the birds.

A l ady , dressed in silver and blue and grey, seemed to be plucking off pieces of her robe and sending them floating away . " W h o is tha t ? ' asked the child, but before the wind could answer, the grey and blue and silver l ady beckoned to them, laughing, and her laugh was like the break-ing of silver bubbles. " Y o u have brought an-other child, my f r i end?" and the W i n d nodded. " W i l l you come to me, little o n e ? " the silver l ady asked. T h e child's pale tips murmured " Y e s ! " and, with a look of infinite content he nestled close in the warm bosom of the L a d y of the Clouds, and slept.

Far , far away , in the world below, the child's mother pressed a beautiful wee baby to her breast, and wept. She thought her child was d e a d — w e know that he had only gone to the land beyond the sunset.

The wind came softly through the window and touched the fair curls beneath her hand.

Sports Clubs Notes. FOOTBALL CLUB.

THE season about to commence will see another increase in our Club members, and as a result, the Football Committee has entered seven teams in the Auckland Rugby Union's competitions for the forthcoming season. Three teams are entered in the third grade, one as a third grade Colts team, one as a third open team, and the other in the intermediate section. In the second grade, two teams only have been entered, namely, our last season's famous second grade Colts and a second grade 2 A team. The Senior Grade competition has again been revised by the Auck land Rugby Union, and applications are invited by that body for clubs to enter teams in either the A or B Sections. Theoretical ly, we are informed, both sections are to be regarded as of equal merit from the individual player 's standpoint and no transfer of members from one section to the other will be sanctioned after the first of June. A team has been entered in each section and the Com-mittee feels certain that this step is a wise one as more junior players will now be given the oppor-tunity of reaching the coveted senior status.

Reviewing last season's performances and taking the teams individually we must set on record the great improvement shown by all junior teams, which fact promises great things when these juniors take their places in the College Team.

The seniors were patchy in their work. Their backs, either individually or as a team, were not up to the past standard of back play, but the forwards, a hard-working lot, formed quite a good pack. The second grade A team was a good side, an improvement on its predecessors in that section. The Colts were a splendid team. Young, enthusiastic and consistent in their training and playing, they gave a great account of themselves, and were just beaten in the last of three matches to decide the second grade championship. The second B team kept together well and showed improved form as the season progressed. The fact that the club maintained three teams in the second grade is evi-dence that it possesses junior players above the average.

In the third grade, the third open team played consistently and promised to become quite a strong side. The third intermediate team were also very enthusiastic. This being the first time the club had entered a team in a class subject to a restric-tion as to weight it took some time for the team

to settle down, but these light weights are expected to be heard of again.

The last season was a good one in that the club's membership is steadily increasing, but more advantage might be taken of the good material offering if it were possible to obtain the services of more team coaches. The senior team is fortu-nate in having M r . A . A . ( S n o w y ) Lucas to give it the benefit of a wide football experience in his capacity as coach and selector. But the success-ful coaching of one team is a sufficient task for one man. The club needs coaches—-non-players with football experience who are prepared to take charge of a team, to select and coach its players, and to generally " father " the team in its matches during the season.

Last season the junior teams were fortunate in that they were led by persevering and energetic captains, who saw to it that players attended prac-tices and matches regularly, or that those players not able to attend notified the fact to their captains so that substitutes might be arranged for.

But this is not sufficient; each team needs its own individual coach, and the writer concludes by making this appeal to any past member or sup-porter of the club, should he feel so disposed, to come forward and offer his services as a team coach. The benefit our club will receive from such a course need not be stressed further.

BASKETBALL CLUB.

LAST year it was decided that Basketball should become officially recognised at the Easter Tourna-ments.

W i th this encouragement we decided to join the Basketbal l Association and enter a senior grade team. Although we were not the champions of the season we were well satisfied.

W e are now fortunate in possessing our own basketball court and we have a lready nacr several good practices.

W e hope to have at least three teams in the Association's competitions this season and to make a name for oursrelves.

Everyone is cordially invited to join our club and help to make it a success.

ATHLETIC CLUB.

A marked and very definite revival this year characterised the activities of the Athletic Club. This revival was most evidenced by the number ( 8 9 ) of the entrants at the Inter-faculty .Sports, which number showed nearly a 100 per cent, in-crease on last year 's muster. No startling per-formances were registered at the meeting, but the sterling nature of all the runs and the youth of the team augurs most satisfactorily for the future. In fact it does not seem at all too sanguine to say that next year we will win the Inter- 'Varsity Athletic Shield.

One notable innovation this year was the en-gagement by the Club of a paid trainer-coach. For the ability to dp this we must thank the en-terprise of the Students' Association. Ful ly real-ising the urgent necessity of a backbone round which the Club could become united and organ-ised training might be established, they backed the Club's idea with their financial support, enabl-ing us to engage one of the most skilled coaches in the country. The venture earned its reward. The improved running of the Aucklanders at the Inter-'Varsity Tourney should, I think, vindicate the spending of money on a coacn. and ensure his engagement in future years.

LAST season the Women's Hockey Club was again able to put two teams on the field, but the game has not yet attained the popularity it de-serves. It is felt that the sports afternoon which has been arranged for this season, should do much to make Hockey a vital part of the sports life of the College. A t present enthusiasm for hockey is almost limited to country players and novices from the Auckland secondary schools. The latter are

eager, but absolutely untrained, and so far have been forced to gain the whole of their knowledge through hard experience on the field. This is not fair either to their opponents or to themselves.

Several of our best players are now leaving us to join the Training College teams; we thank them for their loyalty in the past, and hope that some arrangement may yet be made whereby our club may retain the services of such eager players. Our teams can never show much combination until players are free to recognise the call of College sports clubs.

A combined hockey dance for the purpose of raising funds for touring will be held early in the second term. It is hoped that all interested will support this effort.

W e wish to thank our many " barrackers." M a y they be as stimulating this yea r !

TENNIS CLUB.

FOR a club to have a larger active membership than any other at Col lege—the Students' Associa-tion itself being the sole exception—is some cri-terion of its value to students general ly ; to have reached this position within a year of its forma-tion is an achievement to be proud of. Ye t this is what has happened in connection with the Tennis Club. Formed during 1 9 2 6 it leapt into instant popularity; in its first season it was able to enter two teams in every grade in the Tennis Associa-tion's competition and although failing to win any grade, put up some very creditable performances against more experienced teams.

It is not only experienced players, however, who are admitted to the C lub ; beginners are welcomed and these have the opportunity of practising with better players to an extent unequalled in any other club in Auck land . Club membership is obtained by application to the secretary, accompanied by 3/-, the amount levied by the Tennis Association.

A t present the Club Championships are being played and entrants are advised to watch the notice

Fage T/i irty-eigh t. T H E K I W I May, 192r

board for the closing dates of the various rounds, since players who have not completed their matches by the due date will be scratched to prevent the competitions being unduly prolonged. The Club offers three handsome silver cups for competition —gi f t s from generous donors, and trophies for all events.

P l a y on Saturday afternoons is governed on the half-hour system, the fairest for a large c lub; the system of booking courts is unsurpassed—a booking board with discs engraved with players names. No singles games are played after 2 p.m. on Saturdays if any other players are waiting for a game. In this connection players are requested to make themselves familiar with all the rules governing p l ay : these are posted on the notice board and copies of the Constitution may be ob-tained from the Secretary.

The courts will be open for play during the winter, and it is the intention of the committee during the coming months to arrange for several progressive afternoons, to be run on novel lines. Details of these will be posted later.

THE new building and the re-awakening of Col-lege spirit have had a decided effect on Field Club. For the most part excursions were well attended, and the two lectures and photographic competition attracted a large number of entries from both students and outsiders.

During the year excursions were held to: Mt . Well ington, where Mr . Fa l l a delivered a

very interesting paper prepared by M r . Graham on the " Maori History of the T a m a k i . "

Dreamlands—which was a Sunday excursion: A s this was quite a success it is hoped more wil l be held in the future.

Zoological Park .

W a i a t a r u a : This trip was held at the kind invi-tation of Mr . and Mrs . Kenneth McKenzie, whose hospitality was greatly appreciated.

An excursion was arranged to Rangitoto for June 1 3. Some half-dozen people set off, but the weather proved too stormy for the steamer to venture, so it was postponed until June 2 7 . which day unfortunately proved equally wet.

A week-end trip was held to T e Henga dur-ing the first term vacation. In spite of the ex-ceptionally bad weather, a large number attended.

Great interest was shown in the photographic competition and exhibit. It is hoped to extend this activity to pencil sketches at the next display.

During the year Professor Alg ie delivered a very interesting lecture on the National Park . Later Mr . Fa l l a lectured to the club on the Ure-wera Country. Both lectures were illustrated by lantern slides, and were delivered to large and enthusiastic audiences.

The climax of the year 's activities was the an-nual camp at T e Henga—Bethe l ' s . This proved most successful, as all those who went can testify. The club wishes to thank Mrs. Cowan and Mrs. Garlick, who kindly acted as chaperones.

The success of the camp has encouraged the club to hold week-end trips during the year. It is hoped that the experiment will fulfil all excecta-tions, and that students from all faculties will take part in the club's activities.

GLEE CLUB.

THE Glee Club, under the able guidance of Dr. Thomas, is at last taking its rightful place as one of the most important College clubs. During the past year the membership increased largely, and already this year the average attendance at the weekly practices on Thursday evenings is about fifty.

A concert is to be held at the end of the first term, and those who wish to take part in it are advised to join the society early and learn the songs. If intending members would but listen to the melody coming from the College Hal l on Thursday evenings they would need no further incentive to join.

LITERARY CLUB.

Straubel.

THE Literary Club was inaugurated in 1909 for the purpose of having readings and recitations from English Literature, especially from the period and set books of the year.

The course of the Club's evolution has led it while not altogether neglecting the Period, to focus its attention to a great extent upon contemporary literature and, in particular, upon contemporary drama.

I his year a new departure has been made in that the Club intends to hold discussion meetings: Papers will be read upon given subjects, which will subsequently be thrown open for discussion. A t the first of these meetings a discussion was held on the subject of " F r e e V e r s e . ' 1 here was a very good attendance, and the discussion was ani-mated and showed a marked degree of interest in the subject. The Club has every reason to be-lieve that the experiment will justify itself.

The only other meeting this term will take the form of the reading of a paper upon George Ber-nard Shaw, to be followed by a production of " The Dark Lady or the Sonnets." A more ambitious programme will be attempted in the second term.

The Club welcomes all students to its meetings and performances, and will be specially g lad to see an active interest taken in its discussions, which should prove to be as valuable as diverting. 1 he Club, moreover, appeals to students to take an active part in its proceedings. H i e Secretary would be glad to hear from those who would care to participate in discussions or in dramatic per-formances.

ALTHOUGH it is early yet to make predictions, it appears that the Scientific Society is entering upon a record year . This is only to be expected, for in the past, each year has shown an increase in membership, and although no record was kept for 1926 , last year was undoubtedly the most success-ful the Society has experienced.

During the year ten meetings were held, and although it would be hard to say which lecture was the most popular, mention must be made of the address by Mr . R . A . Fa l l a on New Zealand Bird Life. Mr . Fa l l a is an authority on his sub-ject, and the lecture was thoroughly enjoyed.

A s usual, excursions to places of scientific in-terest were held, the Penrose Glass Works and the Sugar Work s being visited.

This year the social is being held on M a y 7, and it is hoped that this will provide a popular introduction to the Society's activities.

The following syllabus of lectures has been arranged for the 1 9 2 7 - 2 8 session:—

June 1 3 .—Pres ident ia l Address , " Nature Study in South Amer i ca . " Professor Sperrin-Johnson.

June 2 0 . — " Ink." Mr . L . H . Briggs.

DEBATING SOCIETY.

' Ve ry well , sir,' cried the Squire, who im-mediately smoked him, and winking on the rest of the company, to prepare us for the sport, ' if you are for a cool argument upon that subject 1 am ready to accept the challenge. A n d first, whether are you for managing it analogical ly or dialogical ly ? ' " — T h e V ica r of Wakef ie ld .

The question, of course, to be decided is whether we really are a debating society or a mere skeleton. If the latter, shall we open wide the cupboard door and admit our existence?

It is surely fitting that a University College should explore the paths of new knowledge. Pro-gress is forward; if we stop we go back. Truth is our object ive—we must have Truth. Yet ! Do we get it? Is this society the pioneer into unknown regions, the bright light shining through the murky darkness of ignorance, prejudice and indifference ? Do we work to our idea l ?

Of course, " Judge not, that ye be not judged ." Yet , one cannot help thinking that there must be something wrong when so many are content to let others do their thinking for them; when so many are only too eager to accept as truth anything that comes to their ears ; when Truth as Truth is no longer sought.

The Debating Society is here to lead in the search for Truth. It must not be like a certain judicial officer who asks for " Facts, never mind about the L a w . " W h a t we want to know is whether the facts are real and why.

The usual rush and turmoil of the first term, with its broken time and bewildering confusion, can be made to account for many things—among them the failure of the Society to start early. There is but one debate to report so fa r—the trial debate for the selection of representatives for the Easter Inter-College Tournament.

On Tuesday , March 29th, a select band gath-ered at the far end of the College Ha l l to hear threshed out the vital question " Tha t the British Empire is tending toward disintegration." The effect of the evening as a whole was to make one wonder whether the British Empire was the only thing that was tending toward disintegration. The rows and rows of empty chairs must have made the speakers feel ( a s they undoubtedly looked) worlds above the less distinguished members in the body of the hal l .

Af ter seven speakers had in turn either stormed at or gently entreated their hearers, for it was impossible to persuade them, the judge, Professor W . Anderson, announced his placing of the speakers in the following order: Messrs. N. A . Leonard, S . Black , C. R . Straubel and G. Usher. To the College representatives, Messrs. N. A . Leonard and S . Black, the Society extends its warmest congratulations.

In making our bow and departing we point out that though late off the mark, we are still sticking to the course and doubtless will reach the tape sometime—perhaps near the front; who knows ?

This year promises to be the best yet experi-enced by the Society. A very fine syllabus of Lectures has been arranged. The Session com-menced with an illustrated address given by Prof. R . M . Alg ie , L L . M . , on " An Alpine Ho l iday , " which was very much appreciated by the large audience. A t the close an election among the first-year students was held to fill two vacancies on the Executive: it resulted in Messrs. Armstrong and Hudson being elected. On Apri l 7th Dr. E. P . Neale, D.Sc . , M.Com. , L L . B . , F .S .S . , delivered a very interesting address on " Statistics in Business"; the attendance again being exceed-ingly good.

A s it is the desire of the Executive to interest the business community of Auckland in the Society

May, IQ27 T H E K I W I Page Forty-one.

the presence at the last lecture of a good number of the public was most encouraging. This fact and the good attendance generally augur well for the success of the remainder of the Syl labus.

The membership is steadily increasing, and is now approaching 300 . The Society, it must be admitted, is quite a factor in College life, but still that is only what one would expect, for is it not to supply to-morrow's foremost business men and leading citizens? . The Commerce Society must take a leading part in College life, and commerce students are urged to do all they pos-sibly can in this direction. Do not make it merely a place of learning ! The hours spent in College should be amongst the happiest of one's life.

Students may be interested to know that books on accountancy matters are avai lable during office hours in the library of the Auck land branch of the N.Z. Society of Accountants, situated in Dur-ham Street East. The College l ibrary also has a fine accountancy section, many additions having been made this year.

Anyone interested is invited to apply for a copy of the syllabus for the current year , and is cordi-ally invited to attend all lectures.

IF the support given by students to C . U . activities is any indication of the prosperity of the Union we can certainly claim that the past year has been one of the most successful in its history. W e are not yet satisfied, however, that C . U . is holding the position in College that it should or that we are making the most of our opportunities.

Increased interest, as shown by increased at-tendance, has been especially noticeable in the case of Sunday teas, which continue to be the most popular of our activities. These usually take the form of an address by some outstanding speaker, followed by tea in the Common Room, most of those present later going to Church in a body.

Last year Sunday teas were continued through the third term and were better attended than had been anticipated. On October 3 M r . Donald Grant, General Secretary of the N.Z. Student Movement, addressed a large meeting on the com-ing Summer Conference at So lway , while Mrs . Grant spoke on European Student Conferences. On October 31 the Rev . W . Blight, B . A . , gave an address on " Our Protestant Fa i th ." The final Sunday tea of the year , on December 19, took the form of a pre-conference study circle, dis-cussion being introduced by Messrs. Elliffe, Feist, and Smyth.

Auck land was represented at So lway Confer-ence by over fifty delegates, a large proportion of whom were present students. From the General Conference, and even more so from the Officers' Conference and Leaders ' Training School which followed, the delegates returned with fresh en-thusiasm and greater faith.

The Union began this year with a welcome social to Mr . Grant. A s he had to leave us shortly after College opened, he was not able to meet many students, but he helped us greatly by meeting small groups and committees.

T w o Sunday Teas have already been held this year . On the first Sunday of term Mr . E. F . Thompson spoke on " Modern Aspects of Re -l igion." Af ter tea those present went to St. David's , where the Rev. D. C . Herron had ar-ranged a student service.

I'aye Forty-two. T H E K I W I May, IQ27

On March 2 4 the Rev. Gray , B . A . , who has just returned from missionary work in India, spoke on " Modern India ." This was one of the most interesting addresses we have yet had.

The C . U . Welcome Social to freshers was held in College on March 1 2, and was entirely success-ful.

Another C . U . social was held on Apri l 8 at the Y . W . C . A . , this being one of the most enjoy-able and hilarious we have yet had.

On the more serious side C . U . has also pro-gressed well this year, although its results may not be so much in evidence. Intercessions and the Time of Quiet are held each week, and continue to be a source of power and inspiration.

The membership of Study Circles has increased largely, especially on the women's side. W e are again studying St. Mark ' s Gospel, and we hope that this year a comprehensive study of the whole book will be made. Following on the suggestions made at Solway , the circle for leaders has been re-organised as a weekly discussion group. Dr. Ranston has kindy consented to come once a month and help us with any difficulties we are unable to solve alone.

Our study of Mark was introduced this year by M r Shaw, of the Training College staff, on March 15, when he gave a dramatic reading of the greater part of St. Mark ' s Gospel. This stands out as one of the most inspiring meetings we have had.

It was decided last year not to revive the Stu-dent Volunteer Movement, as it was felt that its purpose was being adequately fulfilled by the Missions Study Group. This circle is continuing its study this year , its scope having been extended to include the consideration of international and inter-racial questions.

W e were greatly disappointed to hear that con-ditions in China prevent Mr . T . Z. Koo from visiting us at present. Mr . Koo had planned to be with us in March, and all arrangements had been made for his visit.

The Pan-Pacif ic Conference is to be held in Peking in August of this year . New Zealand is to be represented by a full delegation of four— two recent graduates and two undergraduates. ' Although Auckland will not be represented directly, we are anxious to do something to make this conference possible. W e feel it is not only a duty but a privilege to raise our share of New Zealand's expenses. For this purpose we intend to hold a Jumble Sa le shortly.

THE ceremony of opening the School of L a w for the year 1927 was performed by M r . Justice Herdman in the College Ha l l on March 8 . T h e Hon. Geo.

Johnston, President of the Auck land District L a w Society, and Pro-fessor R . M . Alg ie . Messrs. A . H . Johnstone and E. H . Northcroft. members of the Council of the L a w Society, were also on the platform.

A t the annual general meeting ot the L a w Students' Society held on March 1 8 , the proposed activities of the Society for the year were out-lined by the President. It is hoped to provide a more extensive and varied programme than has been followed for several years. It was decided at the annual meeting that the Committee be directed to hold several dances in the College Ha l l , as well as the Annual Ba l l , and the first of these dances will be given in honour of the graduates in l aw for the past year .

The Committee has a lready drawn up a com-prehensive syllabus of meetings, most of which will be held on Fr iday nights in the second term. Besides lectures to be delivered by prominent members of the profession, special prepared papers will be read and cases stated for argument. The papers will deal with subjects of interest to all members, and especially to students preparing for examination. It is hoped that one of the Judges will be able to give an address. The final meet-ing of the year will take the form of a mock Parl iament or mock trial, which will be held in the College Ha l l , and to which all students of the College will be invited.

The Society has the largest membership of any College Society, and it should receive the enthusi-astic support of all law students. Students at-tending lectures for the current year automatically become members of the Society, but membership is not confined to present students, and anyone

SOLIVAY CONFERENCE.

T o many of us whose first conference it was, So lway came as a great and joyful surprise. W e were not quite sure what we expected, but we had vague ideas of a kind of eminently decorous and utterly serious conferring upon grave matters in which we really had no part at all . Our hopes rose with the very first pillow fight on the way down, and kept cheerfully soaring during the whole journey. Surely people who sang songs like that couldn't be serious-mmded!

At Solway for a while we felt rather shy. Everyone else seemed to know just what to do, and where to go; still, by following these wise ones we soon found our beds and our luggage, and were making a bee-line for the swimming pool to remove some of the Wa i r a r apa line from our per-sons. That began things. A t the end of a day we felt that we had known everyone for years, and were ready for any wild deeds that might be afoot, from eating midnight suppers of doubtful crayfish to being the hind legs of a hippopotamus in the College Zoo. This quick settling down was due to the wonderful spirit of " pally-ness " that sprang up almost immediately. People took down their own particular mental fences in so friendly a way that one did the same without thinking.

In the mornings before breakfast there was a quiet time in which to think out the doings of the day ; after this came breakfast, usually accom-panied by some " stunt " by one of the colleges, or by anyone who thought of something bright to do. Then there was the outline of the day ' s study followed by private study and the study circles. A swim or a game of tennis occupied the next hour, after which came an address until dinner-time. The afternoon was taken up by some kind of recreation—one day a grand menagerie, another a camp fire, another there were games for part of the time, while for the rest Mr . Somerset, who was Story-teller-in-chief to the conference, read a play. After tea, came quiet time and intercession under the trees, and a discussion until about eight o'clock. That was the end of the official d a y ; after it came supper, on one's bed, of various in-digestible purchases from the canteen.

On New Yea r ' s Eve the men's camp, after practising from nine o'clock till twelve, came over and serenaded the women, to the great delight of those who had remained awake on purpose. Even the disapproval of the Powers that W e r e did not dislodge the intrepid lads before their voices gave out. On New Year ' s Day there was a picnic to Mt . Holdsworth, followed by a camp fire at night. That was the official programme, but it was not by any means all that happened. A s we got to know each other better there were more and more private high times, until, when Wednesday morning came, we were wishing that conference lasted for a month. Study and play blended so well together and everyone was so friendly that all of us are firmly determined to go down to Wa ima te next year if we possibly can.

THE COLLEGE HOSTEL.

L I F E A T " T H E M A N S I O N S . "

OUR new venture, the Hostel, has proved an amazing success from the' students' point of view, and our family is increasing slowi'y.

There are about forty men in residence to date, and we hope to gather in another score before the commencement of the second term. The residents have formed a social club, and have elected a House Committee to deal with any mat-ters requiring attention.

A house-warming in the shape of a picnic and dance was held at the beginning of the term, and brought to the front the social instincts of the men. The picnic was held at Islington Bay , and the boys and their guests played cricket and football until dark, when swimming and tea followed.

Upon arrival at the Hostel an orchestra was re-quisitioned, and dancing was kept up until eleven-thirty, when the guests departed.

W e have two pianists at present, and are lucky in that they are j azz and classic specialists, so we are provided with the best of both kinds of music.

Preparing for the Tournament kept us busy for some weeks, and the haka was practised so assiduously that the police had to be called in by the neighbours to watch their sleeping hours. Of course, if people wish to sleep when we wish to practise hakas there is bound to be friction, but that is not our fault.

During the Tournament the residents helped the committee by acting as gatekeepers, ushers, washers-up, and cork-pullers, and some have quali-fied for degrees in these capacities, particularly

the last. W e "crocodi led" up and down the main streets and general ly let the city know that there is still a University Col lege, a fact which it had forgotten since the procession was stopped.

T h e house has many trophies to show; after the athletic meeting the dining hal l wa s littered with pieces of eggs, chunks of kiwi, ribbons, black eyes and swollen ears.

It is noteworthy that the number of " beavers" is decreasing, and only one hardy spirit now has his winter coat showing. Another abomination which has made its appearance among the men is the cob pipe. Whe the r cob pipes are given a w a y at some place near the Tra in ing Col lege or whether some student has bought a job lot cheaply we do not know, but we would like to dam the source of the supply

A football team has been selected and p l ayed S t . John's Col lege in Easter week. Our team played a man short through the first half and were eleven points to the bad at half-t ime. A f t e r the spell an extra man was brought forward by our opponents, and with his assistance we carried the score ten points nearer to that of our opponents by the close of the game. T h e final score was sixteen points to fifteen in St . John's favour.

W e are now settling back to routine work, and hope to have another dance in the near future.

A n y students desiring board and residence within two minutes' wa lk of the University (see page 1 1, Students ' H a n d b o o k ) , should communi-cate with the proprietor. A l l can be assured of a hearty welcome upon arrival at the house.

An Easter A CONFOUNDEDLY hard bench—meant to be a seat perhaps, but that only shows the foresight and economy of our City Fathers. Sitting was a penance. I know, because I sat. So beastly hard, in fact, that no passionate penknife had dared entwine initials. Too hard to attract even the meandering sailor and his lass. Harder than pie-crust. Believe me, " some " hard.

W e l l , I sat. I slept. I dreamed. A mon-ster Kiwi wearing a straw bun and a red pocket handkerchief offered me some ostrich egg in a wooden spoon, and wanted to know " If a hen and a-half lay an egg and a-half in a day and a-half why does A . U . C . prefer tomatoes?" " Oh, don't be a mutt," I stuttered, " They don't. Only the eggs were too fresh."

" So are you. You ' re one down. Now, say, If every debate W e r e held in private So that students might not interrupt, Do you think with some luck A n d a fair slice of pluck You 'd persuade all the profs, to shut—

" N o , " I said, " you're not to say that just because it rhymes. It's rude."

" So are you. You're two down." The Kiwi is not an original bird. He was annoyed and he showed it " Your last chance. Listen:

Nightmare. If the president of C . U . Should reluctantly see y o u — "

" Oh, don't ," I shuddered.

" No, that was a bit of a break ," he admitted, " W e l l ,

If the president of C . U . Should reluctantly behold you In the Albert Park thingummy stand, Especial ly when he's told you

Now, I don't want to scold you. But all the same you know its quite de trop To go hanging round about there Catching germ cells in the night air

So and so.'

W e l l , as I said before— If the president of C . U . Should reluctantly perceive you—-I'd jump for joy, I 'd jump for joy, I 'd jump and jump, O priceless chump. Bird ask him with a tear

W h a t are you doing here? '

The Kiwi jumped—but not for joy. He jumped with fury. A n d something rolled from among his feathers. It was a shield. The blighter snatched it up and tore off. I kept the remains of the straw bun and red handkerchief. Also a hatband. I ' l l sell it for half a crown.

HOBBIES.

I DON'T know who invented hobbies, or where they originated, and I don't want to. I don't care whether Confucius or Columbus or Kaiser Wi lhe lm started it. In my opinion the point is veiled in well-deserved obscurity. Romantic theories tracing the origin of hobbies to the reli-gious rituals of forgotten creeds whether of the Choctaws of North America or of the Thibetans of Central As ia , fail to interest me. Daring theories involving our own Morioris leave me cold. I disapprove of hobbies in theory and detest them in practice.

W h a t is a hobby? It's simply a self-indulg-ence for which the practiser can advance no sat-isfactory explanation. It is the consummation

and final product of Bluff—bluff cultivated and advanced and concentrated beyond the wildest dreams of a logical-minded person. Modern society is so degenerate and so moribund mentally that its accepts absolutely the defence of " Hobby . "

Murder , for instance. If a man has a kink that inclines him to commit promiscuous homicide, he advances the excuse that he does it for a hobby, and the State, instead of hanging him, has him treated by brain specialists until he acquires an-other hobby. If his hobby lies in acquiring other men's goods without first obtaining their consent, the State cal ls it kleptomania, and washes its hands of responsibility. Stealing for one's dai ly bread

Page Forty-sir T H E K I W I May, iq2~

or reasonable sustenance is, of course, not a hobby, because it has an explanation that satisfies the reason. Consequently, the offender is punished by the State with the greatest rigour.

Hobbies are so absurd. W h y on earth, for example, should a normal human being keep white rabbits? God knows there are some million sur-plus rabbits in New Zealand as it is. W h y breed more? And why white rabbits. Every housekeeper will tell you how hopeless it is to try to clean white rabbits. Anyhow I never heard that the flesh of white rabbits was particu-larly delicate or tasty for all the special feeding they receive. Keeping white rabbits is a typical hobby.

One of the most virulent forms that a hobby may take is autograph-hunting. Mind you, if a man collects the autograph of a celebrity with a view to turning an honest penny by selling it to a

museum or something on the celebrity's decease, I have nothing to say against it. That ' s not a hobby, but business, though possibly not economic-al ly valuable. It is the deliberate hoarding of these signatures simply for the purpose of going one better than one's neighbour that arouses my ire. Then it becomes a disease that drives the victim even to the lengths of stopping a royal pro-cession. W h o knows what the competition among such lunatics may not result in? W a r s have owed their origin to less.

Another form of the hobby disease causes the victim to act in a pitifully puerile manner. H e talks in a pseudo-juvenile way , and rejoices in a ritual devised from half-remembered details of the secret societies of his pre-school age. He calls it Rotary, and bluffs himself that he enjoys i t—eh? Wha t ' s that, M r . Editor? The Hon. George is Rota ry ! Then I 'd better stop, hadn't I ? Righto.
