THE MONEY OR THE BAG?
I felt it was my duty to
write in support of one
true m an’s right for
justice. I am referring to
the letter ‘pink play­
house’ in last week’s is­
sue. It is disturbing to
see a preference towards
homosexual p u b lic a ­
tions in the University’s
very own book shop. A
statement of this nature
(in neglecting the tradi­
tional magazines i.e.
penthouse, m ay fa ir,
bra-busters, black-label
and genesis to name but
a few) could lead to fu­
ture discrimination in
today’s declining male
dominated society. If
action is not taken in
removing these corrupt­
ing magazines we may
as well convert the
book-shop into the pro­
motion centre for the
1994 gay games.

WAXING AND WAYNING
Dear Sir,
I am writing in reply to
a comment m ade by Fi­
ona Stevens at th e
Winter General Meeting
of the A ssociation. She
stated that she believed
that it was a good idea
to replace the H onorary
Solicitor every year “to
get a fresh view on
things”. I w ould like to
explain
w hy
I
think such an approach
is very foolish.
Since the E ngineering
Society picked a relative
to support their claim
for $40,000 per year
from the A ssociation,
there seems to have de­
veloped a view th at the
H onorary Solicitor is
there to say you are a lowed to do w hatever
17'
you want, and if she
doesn’t, you get rid of
them, and find one who
does.
In reality, it is our con­
stitution -that defines
what we may do - the
H onorary Solicitor is
only to clarify where
there is a dispute over
its interpretation. The
rulings should thus be
relatively independent
of whoever gives the
rulings. Asking “for a
fresh view on things”, is
like changing the law
every year - it just puts
everything into doubt. I
am well aware that Fio­
na Stevens was only ad­
vocating such a position
so that she could pursue
her own personal agen­
da within the students’
association.
The H onorary Solicitor
is not paid for her/his
work. To compensate,
AUSA throws odd legal
jobs at the person for
which they are paid.
One year of this is hard­
ly worth anyone’s while,
unless they are extreme­
ly dedicated. U n fo r­
tunately, we are finding
it m o re and m o re
difficult to find som e­
one to take on the ar­
bitration amongst the
bickering of students.
In the past, we have
held
on
to
our
H onorary Solicitor for
as long as possible. This
allows them to become
familiar with the histo­
ry and operation of the
Association. As usual,
Fiona Stevens speaks
w ithout thinking. I
would ask you all to do
thinking next time we
appoint our Honorary
Solicitor. Quite frankly,
throwing a volunteer
out withot any justifica­
tion is plain rude!
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
WAYNE MCDOUGALL
Dear Craccum,
When my brother was
at University 6 years
ago, students were only
allowed to earn $4000
on top of their bursarys
(which were on par with
ours up until this year).
Why then, six years
later and at probably
triple the inflation are
we still only allowed to
earn $4000?
Since your fees are go­
ing to be so high next
year it would seem to
VJHAT' NEW
5
me that this petty sum
should be increased to
som ething
more
reasonable such as
$5000 or even $6000.
That is not to say that
people can actually find
jobs that will actually
enable them to earn that
much, but we’ll be
bloody-well trying our
best!
MONEY-NEEDING
STUDENT
A special letter o f
thanks to the Students
Association and one
aspiring lawyer Andrew
Little (our leader). In­
stead of a complicated
loans scheme, we are
treated a simple in­
creased up-front fee.
We students (does that
include Andrew Little?)
next year ‘pay as we
learn’, not ‘pay as we
earn later’. I admit I’m
not shit-hot on the
Loans Scheme, b u t
given the two choices it
doesn’t take a Law Stu­
dent to pick the lesser of
the two evils.
Mr Little was so proud
of himself that he (and
co.)saved us students
from the Loans Scheme
(Eye Witness News,
Holmes), quite happy
to boast his (their)
achievements. But I ask
you (captive readers),
no I will I tell you his
(their) achievements., a
nice $1250 fee, for his
(their) troubles and our
money and has Andrew
L ittle has any th in g
major to say? It seems
that they have conced­
ed to winning the battle
but lost the war.
By the way, to suggest
I’m part of Junior Phil
Goff fan club is crap.
Politicians to me are the
lowest forms of hu­
mans, but after the Stu­
dents Association shot
themselves in the foot,
I begin to wonder.
Open to replys, com­
ments whether compli­
ments or criticisms.
YOURS TRUELY...

I AM ROLF’S LOVECHILD
A Nottingham carpet fitter is set to give up his job and
travel 24,000 miles around the world in a desperate
bid to meet Rolf Harris.
For 38 year old Phillip Judson
believes he may be the illegit­
imate son of the celebrated
painter and all-round enter­
tainer. “ I believe I may be
R o lf H a r r i s ’s love-child” ,
Phillip told us yesterday.
STYLOPHONE
He First began to suspect a
link with th e A u s t r a l i a n
musician and entertainer
during his teens. “ I found that
I had an un-natural ability to
paint large pictures, and only
hours after receiving a stylophone for my eighteenth birth­
day, I had mastered the in­
strument” .
SWIMMING
As well as his striking resem­
blance to the veteran Aussie
star, Phillip points to his
incredible swimming ability
as further proof of the connec­
tion. “ Friends have always
remarked how much I looked
like Rolf, and l am often
mistaken for him in the street,
and I can swim four lengths
of the local baths — almost,
which is probably something
else that I inherited from my
father” .
M AYBE
“ H opefully -when I get to
. A ustralia we will be reunited
at last. I am really looking
forw ard to it. W e’ll have so
much catching up to do” .
■M
EXCLUSIVE
Although he has no definite
plans at present, Phillip hopes
to live in Australia permanently
with his father. “ I’ve written
to him several times but have
not yet received a reply. It
m ust have come as quite a
shock to him to know th at I
am alive” .

Over the years, Phillip has
built up a large collection of
R o lfs records, including his
sixties hit ‘Two Little Boys’,
and the walls of his Nottingham
bedsit are covered with paint­
ings of the Australian land­
scape and obscure murals. A
dusty wobble-board takes pride
of place on his mantelpiece.

Phillip’s mother i isists that
her husband of 42 years, Derek,
is Phillip’s true father. “ But
I ’m convinced she’s not telling
me the whole truth. And now
she refuses to talk to me, and
has moved house, refusing to
tell me where she lives” . So
Phillip is having to pack his
bags and prepare for a roundthe-world trip which he hopes
will lead to a reunion with his
real father.

do not believe th a t CRAM RA is the only means of filling the

This would mean th at Antarctica and her surrounding seas
would be closed to all efforts to extract oil, natural gas or other
minerals. Tourism may be perm itted to continue, but on a
rigourously controlled basis.
France and Australia are calling for Antarctica to be granted
world park status. New Zealand has not offered these two coun­
tries any support even though we first initiated the idea in 1975.
Why? After all, a W orld Park status for Antarctica would be
more in keeping with the Antarctic Treaty than CRAMRA.
Perhaps the New Zealand government feel secure in the diplo­
matic cocoon they term the ‘Antarctic Treaty’.

These w atercolour and pastel works are largely interested in
colour and atm osphere —the merging of tones, often contrast­
ed with the defining o f areas. The large oil paintings are com ­
posed o f extremely subtle areas o f pastel shades, though “Red
View” is anything but, with its explosion o f brilliant reds,
oranges and yellows. All have figurative titles referring to still

U W E TIMM
PI CADOR
This is a portrait of a trou­
bled man in an alien land­
scape, a European reaching
breaking point in the outlands of Latin A m e r ic a ", the
blurb tells us. So much is
true, but I would hardly go on
to com pare U w e Timm with
Jo s e p h Conrad.

book be blamed on the ap­

share whole lifetimes of slavery
and cruelty, torture and rape, op­
pression. And the resulting trau­
ma,
handed down like an
heirloom, is enough to drive Sethe
to kill her own child.
Morrison writes extremely vivid
prose, including very tactile
descriptions. You sit in the delapidated house with Sethe, Denver
and Beloved in their gaudy
clothes, plaiting each other's hai r
into dozens of braids. You ex­
perience the events related, and
this can be a little hair-raising. But,
after all that's why we read - to
be taken out of our skins and into
someone else's. It's often,
though, that the act of reading is
so fascinating and disturbing.
BELOVED is compelling, disturb­
ing, horrifying! It is pervaded with
a sinister air that is never cleared.
It hangs over you as you read, and
the end of the book is a great
relief, but also a disappointment:
now you are alone with the at­
mosphere, the story is over, but
somehow nothing is resolved.
Toni Morrison sets the bizarre and
complicated scene right at the be­
ginning of the novel. The ghost of
a murdered baby. Beloved, haunts
her mother Sethe, and her sister,
Denver, who live isolated from the
rest of the black community in
Cincinatti. This situation only be­
comes more unusual as the plot
twists and thickens. Beloved, it
seems, has returned in the flesh
-to avenge her own death? or to
help her family? noone really
knows, least of all the reader.
BELOVED takes place over about
a month but flashbacks
