Fees off the table for now ■ The new Programme for Government says there will be no student contribution. ■ Students’ Union President ‘delighted with this result’. Marykate Collins Deputy Editor The proposed re-introduction of third level fees has been blocked as of Friday last. At a meeting which took place on the night of Friday 9th october in Leinster House, the Green Party opposed Fianna Fail’s plans for fees and stated that fees would not be introduced during the lifetime of this government. In the renewed Programme for Government which was revealed to the public on that day, the Green party stated that they are ‘Conscious of the economic pressures on parents today, this Government will not proceed with any new scheme of student contribution for Third Level education.’ The Government Program, agreed to after nine days and nights of negotiations between the coalition parties, does promise to deliver key Green Party goals, including hiring more teachers and

reforming politicians’ fundraising and expenses. However the most relevant to students is that of fees. Minister for Energy and Communications Eamon Ryan stated that; “More than anything else, we were right to say that even in difficult circumstances that it was important that we hold the line on this because it is right.” Trinity SU President Conan O’Broin sees this a great and long overdue victory, it is the culmination of months spent tirelessly hounding the government, and he is relieved and to see it finally pay off. Union of students of Ireland Hugh Sullivan stated that “USI is obviously delighted, it’s been the principle goal for over eighteen months. We’re keen to hold the Greens to account and insist that they keep their promises for the next two and a half years if they last that long. The USI Officer Board now want to focus on addressing issues like the

registration fee and the rubbish grant system. I’m personally determined to make sure that members get their 5 euro worth in wins and representation like this for the rest of the year.” The following day, Saturday the 10th, the Green party held their special convention at the RDS. Over 600 members of the party had the opportunity to vote on whether or not to accept the new Programme for Government. To be passed the Programme needed to have a two third majority in favour. It passed overwhelmingly with 84%, preventing the collapse of the governemnt. This was announced shortly before 7pm by Chairman of the Green Party Dan Boyle. Leader of the Green Party John Gormley described this as “an overwhelming endorsement of the party and the Programme for Government.”

Bess tests during Dean objects to stem cell research reading week Megan Brennan News Writer Ita O’Sullivan News Writer The College’s policy on embryonic stem cell research was discussed in a meeting of University Council on the September 30. The draft policy on Good Research Practice was brought before Council. The document contained a section explaining Trinity’s policy on the use of embryonic stem cells. The College says ‘this policy serves to restrict human

embryonic research in TCD to the use of pre-existing hES cell lines with such research being “confined to cell culture or involve routine and standard research practice.’” At the meeting an objection was raised by a senior academic, the Dean of Students Prof. Gerry Whyte. He felt that stem cell research ‘takes a utilitarian approach to the right to life.’ There was a discussion at the Council and a vote was called for on the issue. Votes

are rarely used at College meetings so in order to avoid one the Provost asked that the policy be accepted but noting the dissention to the stem cell section of the document. University College Cork (UCC) was the first university in Ireland to allow the use of embryonic stem cells. Their use was approved by their board in 2008 by a 16-15 vote. Prof. Gerry Whyte Dean of Students

It has been revealed that Bess students will have mid term ‘tests’ during their reading weeks this year. Bess and other students taking Bess

related modules, such as some Msiss sutdents, will be amongst the only undergraduate students in Trinity subjected to these tests. These tests are contrary to reccomendations by the University Council of Feburary

‘TAP Laughs’ in aid of Trinity Takes to the Streets

This is the email sent to The University Times from Prof. Whyte

At last Wednesday’s Council meeting, I expressed my reservations about a proposal to permit research in College on imported embryonic stem cell lines. I did so because I consider that the various arguments advanced in support of the proposition that the in vitro embryo has a different moral status to that of life at later stages are all problematic. (I had occasion to consider these arguments in some detail in my capacity as a member of the Commission on Assisted Human Reproduction from 2002 to 2005). Therefore, it seems to me that one can only defend embryonic stem cell research if one takes a utilitarian approach to the right to life and if one accepts that some lives may be expended in the interests of others. However that position undermines what is for me a fundamental premise, namely, that we are all inherently equal, and so for that reason, I am opposed to embryonic stem cell research.

Bess to have exams during reading week

There is a current legislative vacuum in Ireland regarding the research use of embryos created for purposes of reproduction or the creation of embryos for research purposes. Similar to the UCC framework Trinity academics wishing to use stem cells must submit their proposal to the College’s ethics subcommittee in order to verify that the research complies with international standards.

1st year Postgrad Theoretical Physics I think Trinity probably should. It’s quite important and has the potential to cure diseases that currently we can’t cure. It would be a good thing

Ist Year Postgrad Neuroscience The therapeutic potentials for Parkinsons as well as lots of other neurological disorders are really great.

JS History and Politics I think Trinity should go ahead with the research. It’s a privledge to be in a position to be able to do it and it puts Tinity at the forefront in the field of research. JS Bess Yes. I think the medical benefits of stemcell research greatly outweigh the ethical issues or dilemmas Trinity Ents 10.30pm, The Academy

JF Engineering Yes. It would help a lot of people. The ethical stuff doesn’t really matter

Meteor Freshers’ Ball

SF Geography and Sociology I think Trinity probably should. It’s quite important and has the potential to cure diseases that currently we can’t cure. It would

JS Business Studies I am against the idea of stem cell research in Trinity.

SS Mechanical Engineering I don’t think embyonic stem cell research should go on, but maybe other types are ok.

Sources say that the School Of Business was at first refused permission to conduct these ‘tests’ but after pressurising college authorities were allowed to persist with their plan as they are in the interest of continuous assesment. This is bad news for those Senior Freshmen Bess students intending to take the Foundation Scholarship Exams,during the first week in January, as it means that they have a year of constant examination and ‘testing’ ahead of them with the mid term tests being closely followed by the Michaelmas end of term exams being followed by Schols and so on. The Education Officer, Ashley Cooke, has expressed concern for these students who face a tough year ahead of them with no break on the horizon. This new structure has also inconvenienced a number of student socities who had intended to plan events for this time, namely the University Business and Economics Soctiey, Dubes, who have been forced to reschedule their annual reading week trip away,this year to Berlin, to the end of reading week. Despite minor conflicts caused by the new college year structure, most other undegraduates have managed to dodge the reading week ‘test’ bullet and most facualties have observed their obligation to incorporate study weeks into their calander. For the moment it seems as if the Bess students will have to solider on with their new year structure and in the wise words of Dubes Social Sec,Darragh Genockey, ‘hopefully people will be up for a good weekend after all the tests’.

Every issue The University Times features upcoming student events for the coming three weeks in this coloumn.

All efforts are made to ensure that this events diary is correct at time of publishing. However all event details are subject to change and we suggest you contact the sociecty in question to confrim the event details.

Ciaran Flynn SF European Studies I know lots of people are against this research, but if they help people in the long run then I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.

In the area of utility of stem cells derived from human embryos in research, in the absence of a national framework of legislation on this matter, TCD subscribes to an ethical code of practice on the use of established human embryonic stem cell lines (hES cells) in research compliant with that detailed in the published opinion of the Irish Council for Bioethics and to the guidelines of the Irish Medical Council. Any transfer of established human embryonic derived cell lines to TCD for use in research must be accompanied by a full materials transfer agreement, including details of the ethical compliance of the transferring institution for the derivation of the line in accordance with International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) guidelines. Researchers wishing to employ stem cells derived from human embryos in their research in Trinity College Dublin are required to have their proposed use of such material reviewed by a College ethics subcommittee in the context of compliance with international ISSCR guidelines. TCD formally limits the permitted range of experimentation involving hES cells to those defined as category 1 and category 2 section (10.2 e) in Section 10 of the ISSCR Guidelines.

New Trinity research in eye diseases Mary Kate Collins Deputy Editor RESEARCHERS AT Trinity’s Smurfit Institute of Genetics’ Ocular Genetics Unit have reported the development of a new drug delivery system which has the potential to treat degenerative diseases of the retina. The research was led by Dr Matthew Campbell and Professor Peter Humphries of TCD’s Smurfit Institute of Genetics and School of Genetics and Microbiology. The new research development undoubtedly has

far-reaching implications, with the potential to treat diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, conditions which collectively represent the most prevalent causes of registered visual handicap in developed countries. Currently an estimated 98% of clinically validated drugs, many of which are being used in the treatment of these diseases, can not cross from the bloodstream into the retina because of the presence of the so-called inner blood-retina

barrier, which, as its name implies, represents a tight seal between the blood-supply and retinal tissues. Since mice have a similar bloodretina barrier, the researchers at Trinity have developed a method for periodically and reversibly opening the barrier in mice to very small molecules – just enough to allow therapeutic drugs into the eye, but small enough to keep harmful blood-born substances out. The new process, the development of which has been supported by the Wellcome Trust, Science Foundation Ireland and Fighting

Blindness Ireland, and which will shortly be reported in the international journal, ‘Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences’. The newly developed technique has proved to radically improve vision in the tested mice, who had one form of the hereditary retinal disease, retinitis pigmentosa. The researchers are optimistic that this novel method of drug delivery will be translatable into processes for human therapy targeting not only diseases of the retina but potentially also those causing degeneration of the

brain for which there is a similar blood-brain barrier. Commenting on the significance of the research Dr. Matthew Campbell stated, “Enhanced drug delivery to the retina has the potential to treat the hereditary retinal disorder retinitis pigmentosa as well as the common degenerative retinal condition age-related macular degeneration. There may also be applications for its use in glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. In a broader sense however, aspects of this technology could be adapted for a range of neuro-degenerative

conditions including Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis, while also potentially allowing for enhanced drug delivery to un-treatable brain tumours.” The development comes within days of Trinity’s further climb in the World University Rankings. The high quality of research initiatives advanced by college departments and institutes has no doubt had an impact on Trinity’s new rank of 43rd in the Times Higher Education QS World University Rankings.

Times puts Trinity 43rd in the World

News in brief

Voters turn out to the polls with record numbers this year for class rep elections The Class rep elections were held last week in what has been deemed the most successful year yet. A total of 270 reps were elected. The highest turnout was in Senior Freshmen Science, where 60% of the course voted. The lowest turnout was in Junior freshmen Music, where nobody voted. There were surprising fills in courses such as Biblical and Theological Studies, yet Ashley Cooke Students’ Union for Junior Freshmen HisEducation Officer tory, where there should normally be two reps, only one was elected as nodody else went for the other position. Controversially there were reports of negative campaigning in the JF Engineering election. Chair of Electoral Commission Pauline Byrne stated “ we received a few complaints, investigated the situation and reached a conclusion which we believed to be fair to all parties involved and one which was based on precedent.” Education Officer Ashley Cooke said that he was; “delighted with the number of class reps that we have got. I’m looking forward to working with them and can’t wait to see the enthusiasm that got them elected be used to represent class reps.” Emma Keaveney, Senior Writer

Photo: David Sleater, the Irish Times Marykate Collins Deputy Editor TRINITY HAS been placed 43rd in the prestigious Times Higher Education/QS World University Ranking. This is a jump of six places in just one year, a much applauded achievement leaving us ahead of such reputable establishments as London School of Economics and New York University. This performance is all the more remarkable given the financial pressures bearing down on higher education in the past year. We have also been ranked 13th amongst our European counterparts. Trinity Provost Dr John Hegarty said: “Our stated ambition was to be at the front rank of world universities and among the top 50 globally. We have achieved that in a relatively short period of time and this year’s ranking of 43rd place has surpassed that original goal.” The QS World Rankings received a record level of responses this

Marykate Collins Deputy Editor THE CENTRAL Societies Committee has decided to allocate a week to celebrating the community and collegiality which is created by Trinity’s diverse range of societies. This week will take place during the fourth week of college, from the 19th to the 23rd of October. During this week a number of events will be taking place. These all include promoting and encouraging communications and awareness within societies.

year from both the academic community and employers. This reflects the growing importance of the rankings globally. The Managing Director of QS observes that; ”Governments and Universities are investing to increase their profile and recognition on the international stage as higher education becomes a global industry. Today the QS World University Rankings are used by employers identifying from where to recruit, academics choosing where to work and with whom to form partnerships and by parents and students looking to make sound education decisions.” The U.S. however still dominates with Harvard placed 1st for the sixth year running. In the top 10 alone six of the universities are in the US, with the other four being in the UK. There is evidence however that this US dominance is starting to slip. While it still has by far the most institutions in the top 200, with a total of 54, it has lost five institutions from

The CSC will be asking societies to publicise the fact that they are a part of the CSC, and to put the Fourth week logo on all their posters for that week. The CSC is a body that supports and funds societies within Trinity. Honourary Treasurer of the CSC Joe O’Gorman hopes to make this an annual event, as he sees it as an opportunity for the societies to showcase themselves outside of Freshers’ week. This will also afford students another chance to join societies which they may not have heard of, or been

aware of during that initial week of college. O’Gorman will also be taking the chance to announce initiaves that the CSC will be undertaking over the coming year. An example of one such initiative is the Dorian Gray Project. This will be the photograghing of society chairs, which will then be made into protraits. The idea is to store these portraits for ten years and then release them to those who were photographed as a reminder of who they were ten years ago. “It is a sort of link back to one’s past in college;”

the top 100 and four have dropped out of the top 200 altogether. These results suggest that the dominance of traditionally elite universities is being challenged. Ireland fared significantly better than previous years as UCD jumped 19 spots to take 89th position. UCC, NUIG, DIT, DCU, UL and NUI Myanooth also gained considerable ground proving that the Irish education system still has that competitive edge. The success of both Trinity and UCD in securing places in the top 100 is a boost for the UCD/TCD Innovation Alliance, unveiled earlier this year. The new rankings will also help to attract international academic staff and students. The QS World University Rankings are regarded as the most reliable guide to university performance. Colleges are ranked by academics and employers on the basis of data gathered on peer academic review; employer review; international faculty

ratio; international student ratio; student faculty ratio; and citations per faculty. To do this they use broad measures which are intended to capture teaching, research, employability and international appeal, to produce an overall indicator of institutional standing. By contrast, other university rankings take a range of approaches. The Academic Ranking of World Universities, produced by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, focuses on science, and other systems now being designed to pay more attention to teaching. These rankings are designed to measure universities as a whole, the institutions they include must teach undergraduates. This excludes many postgraduate colleges of undoubted merit, from London Business School to the University of California at San Francisco. Each university also has to work in at least two of the five principal areas of academic

O’Gorman stated. A mosaic will then be created with miniature versions of the portraits. This project will be launched on the night of the 19th, at a special Commons for Society chairs. Many members of college staff will also be present. This is being promoted a networking evening, where society members will get the chance to meet each other, and maybe discuss working together in the future The photographs however will be taken at a later date during the year. Another event which is being

life: science, biomedicine, technology, social sciences and the arts and humanities. According to Martin Ince, Founding Editor of the Times Higher Education – QS World University Rankings; “A glance at the World University Rankings 2009 will show that the top 200 institutions are far from being a uniform group. They vary in size, the subjects they cover and their commitment to research, although all are substantial producers of new knowledge.“ A full comprehensive university is regarded as being one that is active in all five areas of scholarship – science, technology, biomedicine, social sciences and the arts and humanities – and which has a medical school. Institutions that are active in all five fields, but which lack a medical school are termed “comprehensive,” while the terms “focused” and “specialist” are used for those that work in fewer categories.

run is a coffee morning, here society members will get the opportunity to discuss what the CSC is currently doing, and what they can be doing better. The aim of this is to create better communication so as to improve the body’s effectiveness. Robert Kearns, Chair of the CSC is looking especially forward to the Dorian Gray event which is being held; he sees this as “a way of celebrating diversity in Trinity.”

This month sees the first issue of the Student’s Union Entertainments magazine, T-One, bringing you Ents news, reviews, and interviews. Modestly hailing itself as, in the words of Ents Officer Mick Birmingham, “something to read while in a lecture or waiting for a bus”, the magazine will let students know “who’s coming in and give you the opportunity to win a few free tickets to some of our events.” T-One will see five issues throughout the year, and will welcome student contribution. If you’re interested in writing, send and email to mick@trinityents.com. The current issue includes interviews with Japanese Popstars, who brought their high-powered electro mayhem to the Button Factory at the end of September; and pieces on Tinchy Stryder, Fake Blood, and Jenna Toro, set to play the Meteor Freshers’ Ball on Tuesday 20th October. Also look out for the Pics section, where the messy are named and shamed; the sexually successful are congratulated and famed; and fuzzy photos of moshing crowds make you wish you hadn’t missed the night in question. So keep on top of Ents (but not Mick), and p-ppick up a copy of T-One. But not a penguin, because penguin bars are like cardboard covered in cocoa.

Junior Sophister geology class run amuk in Skye There were reports last week that the Junior Sophister Geology class caused damage to their hostels whilst on a class trip to the Isle of Skye. Apparantly such was the extent of the damage done, that police were called to the hostels in question. A letter of apology was written by the class to all persons affected by the havoc that was apparantly caused yet it is still unconfirmed whether other disciplinary actions will be taken against the class.

Students’ Union LGBTRO resignation THE RECENT resignation of the Students’ Union’s LGBT Rights Officer has meant that Rainbow Week, the annual week dedicated to highlighting LGBT issues on campus, has been postponed until the last week in January. Eoin O’Domhnaill, who had also held the post in the previous academic year, has said that the resignation was “entirely due to personal commitments” which meant that he would “not be able to devote the energy and attention to the role of LGBTRO that it deserves.” In his statement, O’Domhnaill added that he wished “Cónan and the other members of the exec all the best.” After his resignation on Monday the 5th of October, the SU executive committee made the decision to push back Rainbow Week from Week 8 of this term to Hilary Term 2010. In the meantime, the position of LGBT RO remains open. Any member of the college who idetifies themselves as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is eligible to run for the position. Education Officer, Ashley Cooke has said that, at time of going to press, he had not been contacted by any parties interested in running for the position. Those interested in running for the position would have to nominate themselves to be voted in by reps at the first SU Council of the year, on the 20th of October.

The rape of a 13 year girl, were it to be committed by an unknown citizen, would generate immediate consternation, Marykate Collins p17

Problems holding with new library catalogue Carl Doherty News Writer STUDENTS HAVE been unable to put a hold on items using the library’s new online catalogue. The College sent an email to students explains that when an item is out on loan it is not possible for a student to reserve it. In order to limit the effect of this problem the College has decided to reduce the number of renewals of weekly loans to one and to stop the renewals of monthly loans. Books that are returned will be made available on a firstcome, first-served basis. The new library catalogue was introduced on a phasein basis during the summer. It has replaced the previous system that was in place since 1996. When asked how this problem arose Trevor Peare, the Keeper said that it was caused due a conflict between ‘item level requests and bibliographic level requests.’ The College has a huge number of books that it stores out of the reading rooms. The College introduced a new system last year for allowing students to order the books

directly from the catalogue. These are item level requests, that is a person is specifying a specific copy of the book from stacks. This is different from bibliographic level requests that are used for holds insofar as the user is requesting the first available copy of a book not a specific book. This caused a problem with the way that the system worked. Trinity was the first library that the software vendors, Innovative Interfaces, had to deal with a book stack system. The library says that when it became aware of the problems it contacted the vendor and ‘expressed their dissatisfaction.’ Peare told The University Times that Innovative Interfaces ‘has promised to find a solution and have the system allowing hold within a week or two.’ Innovative Interfaces got the contract to make the new system when it went out to tender in November 2007. By the end of the contract process they were one among three left with a tender being considered. In terms of price the offer they made was in the middle

and the Library considered them ‘the best value for money.’ The replacement of the old management system was funded by the Higher Education Authority (HEA). Several new features were

added during the update. Library users can now search for material using a new keyword search engine, with the option of limiting searches to certain types of publications, such as e-journals, databases or the library’s DVD and film

collection. Innovative Interfaces is Californian company that have just completed work for the New York Public Library.

THE COLLEGE Finance Committee has approved a four per cent increase in rent on College accomodation. In its meeting the Committee noted ‘the cost base associated with residential activity had been re-examined after further consideration had been given to the current economic climate and other external factors.’ Graham Daniels, the Director of Accommodation and Catering told the Committee that ‘whilst some small savings were made under some budget headings in the course of the review, there was no material change to the cost estimates presented.’ The Committee had a short discussion on the item and decided to accept the four per cent increase in order ‘to achieve a break even position in 2009/10.’ The Students’ Union President, Cónán Ó Broin noted his disappointment with the increase, saying that ‘rent in Dublin, as a whole, has been falling since the start of the recession it seems odd to be putting rent in College up.’ The Daft.ie rent survey found that rent in Dublin has fallen by secenteen per cent over the last twelve months.

Which has meant cheaper accomadation for students this year when compared with last year. The College states a number of reasons for the increase in rent the first being that the College did not increase its rent in line with the increases in the private rental market over the last few years. The College would also like to draw attention to the fact that there are increased amenities and costs assosisted with running rooms on the campus. The number of beds on campus has been reduced a little this year due to the construction work being unertaken on the rooms in New Square. It is expected to increase again when these rooms are completed.

USI Welcome Greens Commitment on fees all musical genres will be more than satisfied. The Meteor Ball is also the first SU Ents event that allows

The Union of Students in Ireland have again welcomed the Green Party’s commitment that they will ensure that there is no reintroduction of student fees in the lifetime of the government. USI Deputy President Dan O’Neill said “the moves by the Minister for Education to reintroduce student fees made no sense in a time when we are reliant on the smart economy for our recovery. We welcome the commitments obtained by the Green Party in the new Programme for Government regarding third level fees and will be working with them as much as possible to ensure that higher and further education provides the basis for our economic recovery.” Concluding, Dan O’Neill said “the Minister for Education Batt O’Keeffe needs to honour the commitments in the program for government regarding third level education and refrain from introducing fees through the back door in the guise of a rise in the registration fee.”

on the same evening that the Ball was originally due to go ahead. This is not the first time that Stryder has caused problems for student nights out in Dublin. Last month, he pulled out of the UCD Freshers’ Ball at the last minute. Simian Mobile Disco, straight from his Electric Picnic gig, replaced Stryder at the UCD Freshers’ Ball which was also held in the Academy. Commenting on Stryder’s cancellation, their college newspaper ‘The University Observer’ quoted UCD Ents Officer, Mike-Pat O’Donoghue as saying that the ball was a “great success” despite Stryder’s absence. Back in Trinity, SU Ents Officer Mick Birmingham has apologised for any inconvenience caused to students by the delay but has assured the college that all the acts booked to play the original Ball will play The Academy on the 20th instead. Aside from Rap act Tinchy Stryder, the acts to feature at the ball include Fight Like Apes, The Flaws, Jenna Toro, Fake Blood and Noize Control. Birmingham claims that the line-up has “something for everyone” and is confident that fans of

Do you want to hear about careers from Graduates who are successful in the area? Do you want to meet potential Employers and improve your job search techniques? Careers week 2009 will kick off with a session about “The Job Search in Challenging Times.’’ While the times certainly are challenging there are still many opportunities and growth areas out there for the discerning graduate. Oncampus Career Sector talks aim to give students an insight into career areas which are unlikely to be represented at the Graduate Employer Fair at the RDS. Graduates who have been successful in areas such as entrepreneurship. journalism, development and aid work, marketing, translation, IT and scientific areas, working in diverse organisations such as RTÉ, Google, the Sunday Tribune, the Irish Museums Association, IBEC, the European Commission, Penguin Ireland and ESB International (see full programme of events), return to give us the benefit of their personal experiences. In previous years, speakers have always been very generous with their time and advice. This week- long programme of events is targeted mainly at Sophisters and postgraduate students but has attracted students from all years in the past.

Afterwards Cullum thanked the Jazz Society, saying “Thanks for joining me on the blues. I bet you guys have killer jam sessions.” Jamie Cullum played to a packed Players Theatre on the Friday afternoon of Freshers Week 2009, bringing Jazz Soc’s Freshers events to a dazzling close. The diminuitive piano virtuoso adopted a decidedly “laissez-faire” attitude to the set, even joking at the begining that he was quite hungover. Diminished brain cells, however, clearly had no effect on Cullum’s ability to entertain as he delighted students with a repertoire of jazz standard covers. Afterwards, commentators were heard to remark (with approval) that Cullum was evidently “having a laugh.” At one point Cullum extended an invite for members of the audience

students to buy tickets for the gig on the Ents website. Technical Officer Conor Smith, the man responsible for the online system, says that this represents a big step forward in the availability of tickets to students both on-campus and off. Smith says that from now on, tickets for “selected events” will be available to purchase online. Smith went on to say that online ticket selling was “the way forward” and that the introduction was “about time.” Tickets for the Meteor Freshers Ball are on sale in the SU shop and online at www.trinityents.com

The Meteor Freshers’ Ball, which was scheduled to take place in The Academy, on October 13th has been postponed for one week until October 20th. Sources suggest that the postponement was unavoidable after it emerged that one of the headline acts was unavailable to play on the 13th. Consequently, it was felt that a postponement of the Ball until the 20th, thus keeping all the original acts, would allow for a better night out for ticket-holders. It has been proposed that headline act Tinchy Stryder was the reason for the delay, since he gave a press conference in London

Science Foundation Ireland funded researcher and Professor of Biochemistry, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, Luke O’Neill, has won the prestigious RDS Irish Times Boyle Medal for Scientific Excellence for his pioneering work on the molecular understanding of innate immunity and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Professor O’Neill’s distinguished work has focused on “Toll-like receptors”, a family of proteins which respond to infection and trigger inflammation and are required to eliminate invading microbes. He has gained worldwide recognition for his contribution to this field of research. Prof O’Neill has been supported by SFI since 2002 when he was a recipient of a SFI Principal Investigator (PI) Award. He is also a researcher in the Immunology SFI Strategic Research Cluster that performs research closely linked to industry. Commenting on the award Prof. O’Neill stated that “SFI has been a key supporter, without whom I would not have been able to pursue my research ideas”. Congratulating Prof. O’Neill on winning the Boyle Medal, Prof. Frank Gannon, Director General, SFI stated that “Luke is a recognized world leading researcher who has made ground breaking discoveries and significant contributions to science. I am sure he will continue to make a significant impact through his research. He is an outstanding example of the quality of research talent nurtured by SFI in Ireland”. Professor O’Neill will be conferred with his Medal and give a public lecture at the RDS on Monday, November 16 at 7.00 pm. The lecture is free of charge and open to the general public.

Trinity Takes To The Streets TTTTS is a new initiative aimed at addressing educational disadvantage in Dublin and beyond

etting to university is a difficult journey for many people. For many of us, the Leaving Cert was a daunting prospect, sitting it was exhausting and waiting for the results was pure torture. But imagine being in a situation where your main problem wasn’t just about getting the points but also where going to university isn’t the “done thing” in your local area. Going beyond that, imagine trying to get into a third level institution while having an intellectual disability. Suddenly, just trying to get the points doesn’t seem to be so bad. Trinity Takes to the Streets (TTTTS) is an initiative

“

Our goal is to encourage alumni, staff and students to get more involved with sporting activities on campus and in Dublin while also making use of these events as fundraising opportunities for programmes linked to the Trinity Foundation. TAP’s “mission is to work in partnership across the education sector and with students, teachers, families, communities and businesses to widen access and participation at third level of underrepresented socio-economic groups, ethnic minorities and Travellers.” NIID “aims to promote the inclusion of people with intellectual disability and their families through innovative programmes of education,

the conclusion that more and better educated seeds will make for a richer harvest in a couple of years. End of metaphor. However the pressures that are on the universities and ITs are manifold and they push the institutions away from a student-centric outlook on where they spend money. It’s extremely easy to moan and bitch about the underfunding of third-level courses and the decline in quality of teaching, but you have to bear in mind that the funding of the sector forces institutions into this behaviour. Higher Education Institutions (HEI) have a few sources of funding: The Higher Education Authority (HEA) gives colleges a bit of cash for things like capital projects, teaching etc. This lump some; or core grant; includes the fees that the government pays on your behalf if you’re ‘traditional’ enough

as the HEA calls it. Another thing colleges rely on is research grants provided by numerous awarding bodies and quangos. These grants tend to be inadequate, so the administration of research projects can siphon off a fair bit from the core grant which should be used for teaching. Fees paid by people who don’t get them from Uncle Paddy are very important to college and remember as well that, every student pays €1500 too for their ‘free’ education. And then there’s philanthropy and fundraising and all of the other kinds of begging, borrowing, stealing and selling-out that HEIs do to avoid budget deficit and surplus. The way the core grant is allocated to the colleges rewards Trinity for increasing class sizes and increase the student:teacher ratio. Since all universities are forced to compete for a fixed pot of

sponsorship money raised going to support TAP, NIID and the Hardship Fund. Our athletes range from well known faces in Trinity such as Drinda Jones (of DUCAC fame) to Mark Pollock, internationally famous for being the first blind man to reach the South Pole.

money this means that more students equals less money per student, but more money for college This forces Trinity to diversify its revenue streams and to look for more postgrad fees, international students and research grants to fund the basic activities of teaching and research. The cost of running a good system with a high student:teacher ratio is much greater than one with a smaller ratio for the same number of students. So for the same money, contact time and student engagement suffer because of large class sizes. In plain English, the funding model used by the government causes Trinity to struggle to pay for high quality teaching and high quality research – resulting in a tug of war. Students have benifitted in some ways from the recession. For example chicken fillet rolls are cheaper and we

also now have the opportunity to fix the funding of the education system. Political parties are moving inexorably towards the question of how the third level is funded and if fees or loans or taxes or anything would fix any of it. This weekend the Greens are supposedly looking at it as part of their revised programme for government talks. A legislative investment at the very least is needed in the HE sector in Ireland. If the guys with the pickaxe handles (see earlier metaphor) get pushed aside and the current or following governments cut deep enough into the sector financially, then we may as well buckle down and enjoy cheap chicken fillets for quite some time. We all know that Ireland relies on tax incentives and the jargon of being a ‘knowledge economy’ to attract foreign investment and punch well above our weight economically. We also know that

the Irish are tripping over themselves to get into or back into tertiary education. Why then don’t the policymakers follow suit and try to sort out the 3rd level so that it can cope with the demands being placed on it and give the nation a return on that investment? Considering the lack of money and other resources that Irish colleges have to work with compared to say America or Finland; they do surprisingly well. You could even call them lean. Just think if HEIs were funded based on ideals of quality teaching and cutting edge research then Finland could just move aside as the EU’s greatest knowledge economy and we could actually drag ourselves into the recovery that we seem to assume is just going to happen.

To Marketing! Emma Keaveney considers the marketing machine behind Arthur’s Day and discovers that it may not have been worth the wait after all.

acebook, the real opiate of the people, often acts as an indicator of the attitudes and opinions of your social group - updated in real time. On the 24th of Septermber 2009, therefore, it would appear that the consumption of a tall cool pint of Guiness was on the top of many a ‘to do’ list. An almost constant stream of “To Arthur!”, “To Martha!” and even “To Llamas!” took my homepage hostage for the day. Frankly, it all felt a bit surreal. For those amongst you who have perhaps been living in outer Mongolia for the past six months, the 24th of September 2009 was deemed to be ‘Arthur’s Day’, the 250th anniversary of the Guinness brewing company. A series of music events were organised worldwide to celebrate the occasion, in destinations across the world – Dublin, Kuala Lumpur, Lagos, New York and Yaounde. The events were broadcast worldwide on television and we were invited to raise a pint to Arthur at 17:59 on the day. All this was fore-grounded by months of television and print advertsing campaigns that depicted hoards of Guiness drinkers in

majestic landscapes raising their glasses to everything from their dearest Arthur to the magic of llamas. Arthur may have been a real person, but the mythical status he has been accredited with is purely a work of marketing, further intensified by Guinness’ undoubtedly successful ad campaigns. The truth is that Arthur’s date of birth is the subject of speculation. His gravestone in County Kildare tells us he

“

died on the 23rd of January 1803, at age 78. However, the exact birthdate of 28 September 1725 was chosen by the Guinness company in 1991, apparently to end speculation about his date of birth. 1759 was indeed the year that Guinness started brewing his famous dry stout. However, the time chosen for the celebration – 17:59 – is a clever joke from a tv ad run some years ago. As for Martha and Llamas, their ONLY relevance to Guinness was through the TV ads. The entire day seemed more a drink raised to the wonders of advertising and marketing in the 21st century than an engaging tribute to one of Ireland’s most successful exports. Instead, in true postmodern style, our understanding of what is real – historical events, facts of date, place and time – has been negociated and mediated by what is decidedly unreal – television, advertising, marketing. Arthur’s Day thus became a strange simulation, a day which saw businessmen in suits running to the pub in time for 17:59, a time which, in reality, had no significance. If the philosopher Jean Baudrillard famously proclaimed that ‘the gulf war

never happened’ then similarly we can say that Arthur Guinness was never born: since our understanding of Arthur Guinness and what he has come to “mean” is a myth created within the last 50 years or so - the ultimate simulation. Among the barrage of facebook comments dedicated to Arthur, there was a few dissenting voices. Mostly to the tune of “this Arthur stuff is a load of bullshit.” This in turn

This is marketing repackaged as patriotism

Our understanding of Arthur Guinness and what he has come to mean is a myth created within the last 50 years

generated more commentary along the lines of “Bah Humbug” “Where’s your sense of patriotism?” and (God help us) “This country wouldn’t be where it is without Arthur.” Patriotism? Really? Last time I checked on the admittedly already murky idea of patriotism, it didn’t require an unflinching support of an alcoholic beverage that has since become a worldwide brand and marketing success story. True, Guinness provided thousands of ordinary Dubliners with employment throughout the darker days of the last century (5,000 were

employed there throughout the 1930s). True, the brand entices tourists to travel here from all over the world. But could it be that Guinness, by cashing in on this mythical sense of ‘Irishness’ (whatever that means) to make their money, are taking the rest of us for a ride? This is marketing repackaged as patriotism. One has to wonder just how much money Guinness (now Diageo and now based in London) made from Arthur’s Day. The footage from Dublin was presented by Ronan Keating and Cat Deeley. We

were subjected to the sight of Cat Deeley (almost certainly not a Guinness drinker) gingerly holding a pint of the black stuff. Tom Jones then launched into a rendition of ‘Sex Bomb’, looking suspiciously like a pint of Guinness himself, sporting a black leather suit and a crown of grey hair. Viewers were then shown a series of pre-recorded messages: Bono wishing Arthur a happy birthday? Who cares? Some dude from Kasabian talking about Guiness as his “favourite drink?” Oh, please. The global music events had as much to do with Irish culture as Simon Cowell has to do with high art. The entire affair just seemed so generic. It was the Starbucks of cultural celebrations – filtered down culture that was so bland and banal it could apply to any nation on earth. The anniversary betrayed a complete lack of creativity, spontaneity and depth. This could not be blamed on the sheer size and scale of the global event. Unlike other global events, such as the Olympics or Live Aid, Arthurs Day was an event almost entirely devoid of emotion. Bizarrely, despite all these disparities, there have been petitions circling online calling for Arthurs Day to become a national holiday. This is not Irishness. We’ve been lampooned. What place does Guinness hold in the hearts and minds of Irish, both at home and abroad? Questions such as this have been left conspicuously unanswered. Let’s call a spade a spade here: this was not a national holiday. It was a publicity stunt, and a pretty damn good one at that.

Guinness Facts How do Guinness manage to keep a 250 year old product consistently fresh and at the top of it’s game? Looking back throughout the company’s history, we see that it’s branding and marketing have been integrated with the Dublin cityscape, international pub culture and, at times, even the Irish state itself.

Fact 1 A huge favourite from the early 90s, ‘Anticipation’ was another Guinness tv ad which gained a cult following. It featured a ‘dancing man’ who was waiting for his Guinness to settle. ‘There’s no time like Guinness Time’ the tagline told us at the end of the minute long tv spot. As a result of its featuring in the ad, Perez Prado’s ‘Guaglione’ reached the Number 1 spot in the Irish music charts, and Number 2 in the British

TIMESFEATURES

Fact 2 Guinness are responsible for some of the most successful ad campaigns of all time. Their ad, ‘Tipping Point’ was the most expensive ad ever made, costing £10 million. The tv ad, which was filmed in Argentina, begins with 6,000 dominoes being tipped over leading on to objects such as books, paint cans, tyres, flaming hay bales, fridges, suitcases and even cars before creating a huge articficial pint made from books.

Fact 3 The distinctive jump cut editing techniques of ‘Anticipation’ won the commercial a degree of critical acclaim and several awards from within the advertising industry, including the 1995 Institute of Creative Advertising & Design award for editing, and a Golden Shark award at the Kinsale International Advertising Festival.

Fact 4 The Gravity Bar at the Guinness Storehouse - located 46 metres off the ground - is the highest bar in Dublin. The Storehouse, which opened in 2000, was designed as an ultramodern facility to breathe life into an aging brand, to reconnect an old company with young (and skeptical) customers, and to use the past to prepare employees for what comes next. The Storehouse consequently became the biggest tourist

All you need to know about buying a laptop for college Students’ Union Techincal Officer Conor Smith tells you everything you need to know about buying a laptop for college These days it seems like every student has a laptop and now that it looks like fees won’t be coming in, you’re probably considering buying one yourself. If you’ve never really looked into buying a computer the task can seem quite daunting. You’re presented with pages filled with abbreviations you’ve never heard of and asked to decide between the 2.2GHz, 800MHz, 2MB processor and the 2.26GHz, 1066MHz, 3MB processor. Before you even get to the stage of deciding how many RPM your hard drive should have, you have to first decide what brand of laptop to buy and where to buy it. You’re best off sticking with reputable brands, such as Apple, Dell, HP or Sony, as they tend to have good support and warranties. As for where to buy your laptop, most brands have their own online stores you can order from. Occasionally some electronics stores such as Peats or PC World have good offers on major brands, so keep an eye out if you’re willing to wait. Every year IS Services provide students with special deals for laptops. Currently there are discounts from both Apple and Dell, which can be found through the IS Services website (isservices.tcd.ie). Apple offers students a 10% discount on laptops from their online store, while Dell have three of their models on offer at a discounted price. If you need to decide between getting an Apple laptop or a Windows-based laptop, it is really just up to personal preference. Neither type is empirically better than the other;

You’re best off sticking with reputable brands, such as Apple, Dell, HP or Sony

Apples are not “better for designing things” and Windows is not “easier to use”. The only real difference is that there is some software that only runs on Apples (such as video editing suite Final Cut Pro) and some software only runs on Windows (such as design and drafting tool AutoCAD). Once you’ve decided what brand you want and where you’re going to get it, you still have to decide between dozens of models and configurations. To make this decision, you have to know what you’re going to use the laptop for. The majority of students that want laptops just need them for browsing the web, typing up essays and procrastinating in lectures. Luckily you don’t need a multi-thousand euro machine to do these things, unless you have a very strange way of procrastinating. The main things you want to look at when buying a laptop for these basic needs are memory (or RAM) and hard drive capacity. These days 2 GB of memory is pretty much standard and is all you will really need unless you do a lot of work with graphic design, video editing or publication production. As for the hard drive, most laptops come with 160 GB by default. This will be more than enough for most people, unless you want to keep a lot of music, photos or videos on your laptop, in which case you might consider paying for an upgrade to 250 or 320 GB. If you do find you’ve made a mistake and need more memory or a bigger hard drive, these components are fairly easy and cheap for you (or your tech-savvy friend) to upgrade. For a lot of the other components a good rule of thumb is that if you don’t know why you would need the more expensive option, you probably don’t need it. The basic options for the processor, video card, and DVD drive will normally be enough for what most students are going to use their laptops for, so sticking to the basics is a good way to save money. Upgrading the battery is something you may want to consider if you think you’ll be using your laptop away from any power supply for long periods of time. One last thing to consider when buying a laptop is something that a lot of people don’t think about -- the weight. If you’re going to be carrying your laptop around campus from lecture to lecture every day, the weight is going to be an important factor. Most laptop suppliers list the weight in the specifications, so make sure you’ll be comfortable carrying it around on your back all day. If you’ve decided to upgrade the battery, this will add quite a bit of extra weight. Finally, when you’ve settled on what your new laptop is going to be you might want to run it by someone you know with a bit more technical knowledge, just to make sure you haven’t made any massive blunders.

Where is the end? In the cut-throat television industry of the digital era, one has to wonder how the big American networks Fox, ABC, NBC etc. have the patience (and above all the money) to keep producing and airing obviously failing sitcoms. In an age of diminishing attention spans, where people can flick between hundreds of channels and download any and all episodes for free off some (il)legal Polskie website, such an enterprise seems pointless. Yet, many shows are plodding inexorably forwards without anything or anyone stopping them. It seems two things are guaranteed to survive a nuclear holocaust: bacteria… and Scrubs. It’s a familiar pattern; each season builds to a pointless finale revealing a new crux to be solved. And still- people keep watching.

eware cute, little bunnies and fairies, say your prayers priests and prepare to walk the plank Cap’n Jack Sparrow because something wicked this way comes. With the upcoming release of ‘New Moon’, the second film in the hugely successful ‘Twilight’ saga, and the recent HBO craze that is the vampire series ‘True Blood’, there’s no better way to celebrate the dark, ethereal world of the undead this Halloween than in sombre

shades, luxurious and lace and leather (alternatively, if you’re feeling really brave, try layering one over the other) and an abundance of striking red or burgundy lipstick, naturally! At the core of the ‘Twilight’ saga is a tragic, yet strangely beautiful love story of an over-achieving and incredibly good-looking vampire who falls for the ‘new girl’ in school, Bella Swan; yes, indeed ‘the lion fell in love with the lamb.’ With bands such as Muse and Paramore, to name but a few, providing the soundtrack to the first film,

this isn’t your typical happily-ever-after. Though Bella has a tendency towards wearing jeans and casual t-shirts, there’s something naïve, fragile and alluring about her character. Satin and chiffon in warm cream, off-white and even grey or nude shades, an abundance of which were seen in Christopher Kane’s F/W 09 collection, capture perfectly that delicate, innocent air. Lace is equally as effeminate, but because of the intricate nature of the material, there’s something ever

so seductive about it too. A long sleeved, thigh skimming, black lace dress, available from Zara, is the perfect way to vamp it up for a perfect Gothic Halloween twist. Edward Cullen, the suave, valiant vampire who drives a Volvo S60 R (and on special occasions such as prom, an Astin Martin V12 Vanquish) and sparkles in the sunlight, has been around since the beginning of the past century, so what better way to bring out your inner vampire heartthrob than with a soft, billowy shirt and loose, touselled hair?

‘True Blood’ has become something of a phenomenon on this side of the waters as of late too, with guys and girls alike becoming rather obsessed. Based on ‘The Southern Vampire Mysteries’ by Charlaine Harris, the series shares uncanny similarities with ‘Twilight’, though who copied whom is not a debate I shall enter here. ‘True Blood’ is however, a little darker, a little more sinister and lot raunchier than it’s rival. With the tagline ‘Thou Shalt Not Crave Thy Neighbour’ and title song ‘Bad Things’ by Jace Everett, one can almost

Despite haemorrhaging 4.5 million US viewers over its lifetime, ABC has produced a sixth season of its controversial show Lost. The fourth Season of Heroes has just aired its first episode in the US this month garnering less than half the audience of the widely successful first series. To keep us hooked past the pilot episode, and further, to keep us salivating for future series, such shows rely on a labyrinth of plot twists and turns. More often than not, however, we the viewers find ourselves with tired, seemingly never-ending scenarios, while the network finds itself with a steadily declining viewership. Theoretically this schema should attract easily-addicted couch-potatoes, but apart from the usual fanatics it would appear that the regular guy just wants to kick back and unwind after a hard day with something simple and undemanding. Something delicate if you will. The sitcom House for example, (in my view a programme made by simpletons, for simpletons) has seen its ratings soar by 6 million US viewers between the first and third seasons. Compare this with Prison Break which was dropped after a painful fourth season, having lost almost the equivalent number. Moreover, entertaining thirty-minute-shows such as Friends and The Simpsons (with former increasing its ratings from14 million US viewers for the first Season up to 21 million for the tenth Season) appear to be a lot more appealing. So, what exactly is the recipe to a successful TV show? This question can probably be put in the same category as the impossible questions ‘Where did life begin’ and ‘What is time’ - and so I shall not bother to answer. I will point out, however, that Dirty Sexy Money was discontinued after only two Seasons during which it lost two thirds of its initial followers, allowing one to conclude that sex does not necessarily sell (well). But then again, sex mashed with suspense and rather strange scenarios (mildly kinky stuff) seems to be a winner as can be seen in Dexter and True Blood, which have won numerous awards as well the hearts and minds of audiences both sides of the Atlantic.

Many shows are plodding inexorably forwards

These days TV series generally get pretty boring

What conclusions can we reach? That these days TV series generally get pretty boring and even annoying after two or three Seasons? People are overfed with new programmes and give up on them a lot easier than in times when there was no alternative to The Cosby Show. Again what surprises me is that despite consistent evidence as to plunging viewer ratings, many shows just keep on going! Well, lets hope that maybe in this attempt the survivors in Lost (I would think those at home that are not bored to death yet are more the survivors) will find their way off (or on ??) the island, and that Hiro will save everyone in Heroes (and us at home a fifth Season), so that new shows like Mad Men and True Blood get their chance to blossom, flourish and be totally ruined by their fourth Season.

This girl’s all about natural beauty with very light makeup for a natural, dewy glow. A lot of the time we see her in tiny, black hot pants and a green apron whilst working in Merlottes, but when Sookie lets her hair down in her signature white dress, she’s the epitome of a Southern belle. A little white slip dress or corset is perfect for this. Alternatively, try leather for a modern, Louisiana-night, vampire-inspired look. On the runway, D Squared sent models out in skin-tight leather trousers while Michael Kors models were to be seen in simple dresses with daring slits up the side. H&M’s strapless leather mini-dress is

The great thing about lace and leather, chiffon and shirts, especially in neutral, muted and dark shades is that they can be worn over and over again, they’re timeless classics. Butterfly wings and chicken suits on the other hand, are great if you want to splurge on one item that you will wear once then tuck neatly away in your attic ’til next October 31st. Not that I’m condemning going all out for Halloween, in fact, my personal Halloween motto is ‘the whackier the better’, but I think there’s definitely something to be said for making use of what you already own, or at least investing in clothes you can actually wear again. A chiffon blouse, for example, can be dressed up or down by wearing it with an exquisite brooch and skirt or a pair of skinny jeans for a more

On Shoes

Simone Cameron-Coen writes about what shoes mean to her and explains her relationship with those things that we all wear on our feet.

good (male) friend once said to me that he wore shoes to keep his feet dry and clean. This statement is true; shoes mostly keep your feet dry and clean. That is their purpose; or a least one of them. However, for many people shoes are so much more than that. Shoes are something precious and something that brings great joy. There is no other word for it except perhaps ‘glee’ when you are presented with the best pair of shoes you have ever seen. I am not an overly materialistic person; however I do remember the first thing that I lusted after at the tender age of 5. Shoes. I distinctly remember desperately wanting a pair of green pixie boots; soft material, faux suede, ankle boot that kind of gathers in a rouching effect with a pointed toe. I loved them and I wanted them. I don’t know how I knew what they were called; maybe one of my junior infant peers had a pair. I just know that my life would be incomplete until I owned a pair. My parents took some convincing, but I got there in the end. Bless my mum’s cotton socks, she bought me

“

casual look. An even better example again is that of a shirt. A simple shirt can be worn open over a t-shirt, buttoned up and worn with a tie or bowtie for a dressier appearance, the collar can be popped to look preppy, the girlf can wear it with a belt as a dress, and of course you can wear it loose and a little undone with some unshaven stubble for some irresistible ‘Vampire Bill’ charm. As we creep further and further into the murky depths of Autumn, why not try taking these vampire inspired chic ideas into a more dark and dangerous realm just in time for Halloween! A pasty complexion with lots of pale translucent powder is a must. Vampires also have a characteristic ‘sunken’ effect under their cheekbones, think Edward Cullen in ‘Twilight’. A fantastic way of achieving this is to use some light

can find pretty shoes that fit. Not only that, they come in all sorts of shapes. They are a small enough article that you can go a little crazy with the pattern and colour. They can be flat and comfortable, or high and impractically sexy. Some believe that ‘Shoes are always worn to match a mood or indeed make a mood! Feeling like the outfit you have on is not doin’ it? Slip into a sexy of pair of shoes & hey presto your done & ready to go!’ Others just appreciate their beauty and their ability to express themselves in a way that clothes don’t always allow; you don’t stand in front of a mirror and think ‘do these make me look fat’. I have a modest 20 pairs, most of which were bought in sales or Penney’s. I don’t believe shoes need to be expensive, though they do tend to be better made if they are. Believe me this is a modest figure. A friend recently moved country, I think her moving van was 50% shoe boxes, she recently told

I don’t believe shoes need to be expensive, though they do tend to be better made if they are.

those boots and so began my love affair with shoes, the longest affair of my life. This appears to be a common starting point. Another friend has a story of princesses and pain. Her first pair of school shoes that were patent leather Mary Janes with a princess story. Unfortunately they were the wrong size but my friend’s desire overruled the pain and she soldiered on for a solid week of blisters before parental sense intervened. She has not learned her lesson, as her size too small Marc Jacobs will attest. As I grew up I began to understand something. No matter what dress size that you are, generally speaking, you

me last count was 80 pairs. She used to have a shoe room. This may seem excessive, maybe it is, but I understand where she is coming from. The joy that I get wondering around a shoe shop is frankly a little ridiculous; the only other shop that I can get lost in for any amount of time is a book shop. Writing this article has made me stop and think about what it is about shoes that captivates me and many others so much. They are where design, fashion and art meet. You can spy a black leather metal studded stiletto on a shelf and instantly see it on yourself. It does not require sweaty uncomfortable moments in a too small changing room

grey or stone-coloured eye shadow as bronzer. The same can be used lightly to create a sculpted cheekbone effect for everyday makeup. In terms of the eyes, lightly apply some grey eye shadow under your eyes for a quintessentially vampire look. If you’re a bit of a make-up freak like I am, try some really dark, smoky eyes using every shade of white, grey and black you can find, slowly building up the intensity and finish with heavily applied and well smudged kohl eyeliner and lashings of mascara. As ‘True Blood’ replaces ’Gossip Girl’ in our ‘OMG, did you see ____?’ conversations, and with

‘New Moon’ very soon to hit the big screen, death, the underworld and related ideas are set to be big this Halloween. So let your vampire instincts take control and sink your fangs into some luscious fabrics, delicious designs and mouth-watering make-up to make this a dark and deadly night to remember!

with bad lighting. It’s instant gratification to see yourself fit into those sexy shoes. Then, you can slip them off and return their expensive selves to the shelf and stand back and admire all the detail and angles that you couldn’t quite appreciate on your own foot. In addition shoes translate from designer to high street much more easily than clothes. The nature of any type of shoe means that the detailing is always done by hand, whether designer or not, so the detail remains in the high street. Beading, stitching, and colour have all been a non essential addition to shoes for thousands of years. It is an item of clothing that can get away with embellishment much more easily than say, a coat. The most conservative of dressers can have a touch of the fashionista about them with a pair of skinny heeled (red) stilettos. It is the shape of the shoes, the colour and the fact that they can transform your figure in one quick step. Often shoes are impractical, especially on a night out. I have been reminded by a wise woman that, ‘Heels slow you down, trip you up (especially after a vat of wine), pinch your toes, and make you cry when they get stained (as by the spillage from a vat of wine) - and they make you into a survivor’, and I will valiantly, though often unsuccessfully defend them. If you are feeling a little out of sorts, and the washing up and dusting has piled up, put on your super high strappy sandals and get cleaning. Need to get that assignment done, purple patent leather heels to the rescue. No one else has to see you in your beloved shoes for you to feel fantastic. Shoes are the ultimate in individualism and self expression, and like any long term love affairs, despite occasional pain, they make you very, very happy.

Dubin culture night F

riday 25th September was the third annual Culture Night in Dublin and ten other towns and cities in Ireland. In a manner typical of Irish journalism’s Dublincentred view of life, all reports of the event focused on Dublin, mentioned Cork and Galway, and to hell with the other towns. The idea is simple and the prac-

Under cover of darkness, you become one of Collins’ spies, undermining the Crown in Ireland... and then going on to see the unique collection of Oriental and African manuscripts, objets d’art and delightful plunder collected by Chester Beatty and bequeathed to the Irish people. Culture Night is a huge success and its organisers estimate attend-

tice is sweet. Cultural venues throw open their doors and turn off their tills to allow people roam around museum and art gallery halls long after regular opening times. The sheer novelty of nocturnal visits enhances the experience. For instance, a trip to the awesome collection of the Chester Beatty Library, while worthwhile under normal conditions, becomes something else entirely when you slip in the gates of Dublin Castle, menacing in moonlight, and make your way across the dark quadrangles, past looming towers and a Gothic chapel. In daylight, museum visits range from worthwhile

ance to be in the region of one hundred thousand people. The provenance of the idea is dodgy – it seems we nicked the idea from one of several European countries which hold similar events, but adapted it: in Paris, the culture nights or Nuits blanches last till 7am. We like culture, sure, but not all night. Culture Night’s great success is surely that it encourages people who would not in the normal run of life go to museums, art galleries, concerts to avail of their area’s cultural resources. The ambition is to create a larger regular audience for the various cultural activities involved. The organisers,

No, they don’t take laser and no, you can’t get a Panini but you can get any toastie you want as long as it’s ham and cheese. To say I love this place would be a gross understatement-it is everything a pub should be.

however, are careful to avoid giving a preachy impression: nowhere is it said, written or implied that one ought to see this or that event. This is not an outreach programme and the message (and visible evidence) is that culture is fun. The point that some attendees hadn’t been in a museum space for a long time was neatly illuminated for me at the Chester Beatty Manichaean papyri exhibition. These manuscripts are precious for their uniqueness and are fragile because of their great age. The impressive display is dimly lit, obviously to preserve the papyri, ironic perhaps because of the Manichaean worship of the light. This wasn’t obvious to all, not at all to a boulder-shaped woman who indignantly rollicked over to the light switch and turned on enough wattage to land a plane. The security guard was so stunned by the breach of museum etiquette – everyone knows not to play with the lights – that it was 30 seconds before the calm of near-darkness was restored. Boulder Woman gathered up her toddler, harrumphed and left. ‘Low culture’ to its enemies, ‘fun’ to its friends is well-represented on the programme of events. The best event of the night in my view was an open-air film screening in Meeting House Square of a lost gem of Irish film. This Other Eden (1959) is a wickedly satirical examination of Ireland’s central pieties: republican heroism and virtuous maidenhood. What immediately strikes one is the contemporary feel of the jokes: Ireland

in 1959 could not have been so entirely stuffy, so Catholic-cowed, as we are led to believe. On a very cold night, there was standing room only to watch this sharp comedy where in small-town Ireland, the only republican not disaffected or dishonoured (the disaffecting/dishonouring agents ranging from political cynicism, the demon drink and filthy lucre)is an Englishman looking to buy the local ‘Big House’. Interestingly, the film’s executive producer is Emmet Dalton, Michael Collins’ driver that fateful day in Béal na mBlath. Is the satire a product of his own disillusion with the institutionalised sacred republicanism of the Irish State? How many of the old guard republicans could turn a blackly comic eye the War of Independance; was DeValera only putting on a show? There is more certainly to the Culture Night project then stuffing people into museums. It hopes to give people a taste of different cultural activities in the hope that they’ll come back for more. And, falling this year as it did the day after the very bibulous Arthur’s Day, the largely non-alcoholic ambience in Dublin city centre was either a nice way to recover from Arthurian excesses, or a glimpse of what life would be like if we did as we were asked and ‘drank responsibly’.

n expedition to Ikea on the outskirts of Dublin is like a journey to an alternate world. We, the humble and astonished shoppers, are herded in single file through the entrance of this colossal shrine to trendy domestic perfection and deposited on the second floor. This is how I found myself one Saturday afternoon, complimentary pencil and shopping list in hand, turning on spot, dazzled by the sheer size of the shop and the vibrant array of inexpensive throw pillows. Ikea is impressive, overwhelming, yet most importantly very well organised. As I wandered around the show rooms, I began to wonder whether the restaurant would add to my growing respect for the business or would impair my overall impression of the store. At first glance, the Ikea restaurant is the ultimate culinary nightmare: the cafeteria. The lengthy queues appeared to be unorganised and full of grumpy children. However, I should have known better; Ikea is not unorganised and makes a conscious effort to ensure that no child dragged along by parents is grumpy or bored. I joined the queue and studied the menu overhead. Ikea gives us the opportunity to sample Swedish dishes such as the cured salmon dish, ‘Gravad Lax’ (€3.90), ‘Swedish meatballs’ (€4.95 for 15) and a selection of miniature traditional Swedish cakes for €0.70 each, as well as more familiar pasta dishes and ,of course, chips for the less adventurous. Though this food was being served in a cafeteria-style system, I was not offended by this, and my expectations for my food were not lowered by memories of stomach-turning school dinners past because there were plenty of helpful (and stylishly designed I might add) signs which explained how to manoeuvre the Ikea dining system. The staff behind the counters were pleasant, helpful, and neatly-uniformed. Though I was impressed with their attention to detail, such as providing organic spinach, parsnip, and basil baby food, the healthy omega-3 enriched menu, and the student-friendly prices, the true test of the Ikea restaurant would be the food itself. I selected the stuffed salmon dish which included a slice of salmon in a dill sauce, 2 potato cakes, and a serving of boiled carrots and parsnips, all for just €4. The stuffed salmon itself was bland and dry, made edible only by the rich dill and butter sauce that had been poured liberally upon it, and the boiled carrots and parsnips were about as exciting as shopping for toothpaste, however, I was completely taken aback by the potato cakes. They had been browned so that the outside was crisp, yet the inside retained the perfectly balanced texture of moisture and chewiness with the thoughtful addition of onions and broccoli. With these potato cakes, I forgot about the dull salmon and the limp vegetables and began to think that this meal was certainly worth the €4 I had paid for it and anyways, who am I to judge a piece of salmon so harshly when I’m paying so little for it? My meal ended contentedly with a €1 generous slice of ‘Almondy’ cake, a moist, nutty cake covered in a light butter cream and sprinkled with sliced almonds, that was not as unbearably rich as it sounds. As I listened to the chattering families and reflected on the meal I had just eaten in the Ikea restaurant, I realised that this was probably the most pleasant a cafeteria dining experience can possibly be. It was well-organised, inexpensive, nutritious, and the dining area was clean, airy, and furnished with Ikea’s functional yet stylish wares. I resumed my afternoon of shopping in this bizarre domestic wonderland feeling satisfied, full, and like I had just spent a very worthy €5.

The Epicurean Food Hall, Middle Abbey St What happens if you want tikka masala but your friend wants pasta carbonara. Normally it would result in an argument or one of you not getting what you want. This food hall solves that problem. Basically it has an eating area in the middle and around it loads of different stalls serving all types of cuisine including Lebanese, Mexican and Italian.

Moore Street Food Market (just off Henry St.) If you want some character and you like a bit of banter go here. If you like neither of these two things you will still like the insanely cheap fruit and vegetables. Shop around, visit different stand as the freshness will vary.

The Invention of Lying

Oshima Fawkes reviews Rickey Gervais’ new film, The Invention of Lying

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus

(Friday October 16th) Terry Gilliam’s latest film, and Heath Ledger’s last, has come with great controversy ever since the stars unfortunate death last year. As opposed to scraping the project with initial footage already shot, the ex-Monty Python member did something risky, hiring replacements. However for a film that is based all around imagination and replicas, this looks like it might work out quite well. The story revolves around Dr. Parnassus (once again, Christopher Plummer) who, centuries ago, traded immortality to devil (of course, its Tom Waits) in return for the soul of his daughter, Valentina (Lily Cole), on her 16th birthday. By making another deal to deliver five souls to the imagination, a fantastical world inside the doctors wagon, instead of his daughter, he may keep her. Tony, the doctors victim is played four times by Ledger, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, who have all been groomed to nearly look like Ledger. Though this film will undoubtedly draw people to see the last of Heath Ledger, fans of Gilliam (Brazil, 12 Monkeys) should also look forward to this Alice-in-Wonderland-like film. A perfect film for the darkening days ahead.

(November 20th, 2009) The sequel to last year’s box office hit Twilight is surely going to excite many over the next few months. Based, once again, on a novel by Stephanie Meyer, New Moon picks up where the last film left off, with Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) devastated at the loss of her Vampire lover Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). In order to cope with this loss Bella begins to undertake many risky past times such as motorcycling in order to hear Edward’s voice “in her head”. Her spirit is also rekindled by her growing relationship with Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), but she is soon drawn into the world of werewolves, vampire enemies, and other fantastical creatures. Being the sequel to one of the highest grossing films of last year (with nearly $400 million) many people are expecting great things of this film, but with the return of Pattinson and Stewart there should be no doubts that it will contain the same edgy romance that made girls swoon all over the world. Guys, though, beware, I smell a chick flick.

(October 22nd - 26th at the Irish Film Institute) For the twelfth year in a row, the IFI’s horrorthon is taking place to redefine what it really means to be terrific. Taking place over the bank holiday weekend (there are no excuses for missing it now) it is five days of blood-curdling suspense and spine-tingling terror from all the newest, as well as best, horror films. This years line-up includes the newest Diablo Cody film (Juno) Jennifer’s Body staring Megan Fox of Transformers fame, featuring a small-townteenage-temptress (possessed by a demon), a Satan-worshipping rock band, and a nerdy best friend who is the only one who can stop the madness. Whats not to like. Joe Dante’s Gremlins are also being screened in a 70 mm print - think iMax size - which is something remarkable. Horror legend George A. Romero also has three offerings which will be screened during the week including Day of the Dead and The Zone of the Dead. A fan favorite, especially among Trinity students this is one festival that has always been regarded favorably. Perhaps

New Moon

(Friday October 9th) Disney Pixar’s (Finding Nemo, Toy Story) newest offering has already had critics claiming another triumph for the animation giant after its release this summer in North America. The story is a classically odd one in typical Pixar fashion with septuagenarian Carl, after refusing to sell his home to developers, tying thousands of balloons to his house, and takes off for the peace of South America’s Paradise Falls. Without realizing it, however, young adventure seeker Russell has become a stowaway on this big adventure, eager to earn himself a wilderness explorer merit badge. Poor weather and other mishaps blow them around their new world and mishaps ensue. Voice acting is done by Edward Asner (Elf) and Christopher Plummer (Inside Man, A Beautiful Mind), ensuring the highest caliber of production that audiences have come to associate with Pixar. Along with a charming premise that is sure to please most fans of Pixar’s work, children and adults alike, and with the use of 3D technology, Up is probably one of the best not-serious-if-you-don’t-wantit-to-be films to come out this year.

The rest of the fall is filled with many potentially great films including Wes Anderson’s newest, the animated The Fantastic Mr. Fox based on the novel by Roald Dahl (October 23rd), the documentary on the life of Michael Jackson This is It (October 28th), Muai Thai legend Tony Jaa’s latest Ong Bak: The Beginning (October 16th), the Coen bros. newest comedy A Serious Man (November 20th) and James Cameron’s 3D adventure Avatar (December 18th). If you’re looking for something a little more indie, the IFI is always a good bet. They will be hosting a French Film Festival later in November, along with a string of German films in association with the Goethe-Institut.

radical denouement!) that we shouldn’t base relationships on looks (although I must admit this was very sweetly done (it means a lot more when a brutally honest person says they love you)), and Bellison’s responsibility for inventing G-d is completely glanced over and we, as an audience, are instead given the personal responsibility of how we make our choices, with G-d at our side or with our Will To Self. While this is a fair burden for the audience to struggle with, it seems excessively cruel within the world of the film to tell it’s people, who can’t comprehend a lie, that there is a Man in the sky and a Heaven and then leave them without the knowledge of how untruth works while they sit around waiting to die so they can go to Paradise. Unfortunately, the film is not as funny as it tries to be. Most of the comedy is too broad to parallel with the issues at stake (with a few exceptions, I have never seen such a mixture: heavy and heady Nietzchean concepts set off with relentless jokes about appearances. The ideas are strange, and in the end The Lie is seen almost as a good thing, but only in a state where pure belief is the only option. It’s The Truth that comes off as the cruellest invention. This is a world populated by unhappy people who can find no subterfuge whatsoever in a reality where not even the slightest fiction is possible. Gentle kindness cannot exist because most kindness is based on a gentle lie. And furthermore, the people in this film do not pass over in silence, but instead tell the truth as though humanity were made up entirely of Tourette’s-sufferers. This is a deceptively light film that reels between spectrums of dark truths and glibness to which the film provides no satisfying conclusion: the lie remains undiscovered, we learn (in a compromise the brilliance of his comedy and yet maintain his integrity. The Invention of Lying is set in a parallel universe where not only does the lie not exist, but is incomprehensible to everyone but one downtrodden loser, Mark Bellison (Ricky Gervais), who invents it half an hour into the film. This first half hour, which should be ripe with comic possibilities, is very weak. Bellison gets insulted for at least a solid ten minutes, and most hurtfully by a woman he likes a great deal, Anna McDoogles (Jennifer Garner). The only real funny moments in this first act are a few small observations on how modern life would be if everybody told the truth (such as a genius advertising campaign for Coke that reminds the audience of Coke’s continued existence and their wish for you to continue buying Coke, as they know the audience have been doing, ending with the phrase: Coke: It’s very famous). The eponymous invention kick-starts the

I have never seen such a mixture: heavy and heady Nietzchean concepts

such as the wonderful scene whereby you learn how the “no-sex-before-marriage” rule came in to being). There are so many cameos that, although most of them make sense within the story, they are distracting (you see a famous face for thirty seconds at least ten times). And there is a shameless, shameless cameo by two familiar British gentlemen that was so offensively arbitrarily done I laughed solidly for a minute. This is a very unusual comedy that will divide audiences. A far shot from a masterpiece, but an intriguing experiment in mainstream cinema. But what made the film for me was that it is the only anti-religious picture I’ve seen that deals sensitively and caringly with people who need to believe in something unseen. Also, this writer must admit that on leaving the theatre there was a skip in his step as he felt very powerful in his talent at being able to fluently tell a lie. Not many concept comedies have that affect. I, for one, will continue following Gervais’ career with interest. ohn Cleese (with others) revolutionised British comedy in the 70s with Monty Python, then perfected it (with Connie Booth) in Fawlty Towers. Based on the acclaim received for The Python films and Fawlty Towers he broke the U.S market, where he made some very fine films, but nothing to match the brilliance of his earlier two writing stints. He is now a much-respected and well-loved figure in the U.S, as an intelligent, articulate, quite manic and very English comedian. Ricky Gervais is halfway through a remarkably similar trajectory. He (and his writing partner: Stephen Merchant) revolutionised British comedy in the 21st century with The Office and then perfected it with Extras. Based on the goodwill, admiration and contacts generated from those two works, Gervais has become a fairly regular presence in several innocuous Hollywood comedies. Now, in his feature film debut as writer/director he has somehow managed to

movie into another gear with a reel of gags (the best involving a very recognisable cop). But the moment when the movie stops becoming a comedic experiment and turns into something more, is a remarkable scene where Bellison’s mother is on her death bed and begins crying. She is completely terrified of the nothingness of death, and Bellison (undoubtedly Ricky Gervais’ best acting of his career is in this scene) wishing to comfort her, while grief-stricken himself, invents G-d.* His mother dies peacefully, but Bellison is still very visibly shaken. Word soon gets round that Bellison knows about an afterlife and to make people feel better he accepts the mantle of Prophet. From there the story continues as Bellison wrestles with personal demons, the lie of his successes, how to morally interact with a woman he loves while in a position of great power, and, finally, how to deal with the eager public who need his Man in the sky, but yet abuse the message once they receive it.

Munch in the national gallery

tepping into the airy and shockingly white atrium of the National Gallery, it’s hard to imagine where they’d fit the series of dark muted rooms the Edvard Munch prints are allegedly kept in. It turns out they’ve been sneaked in around the corner at the top of the stairs, and stepping inside the quiet blue space one can’t help but acknowledge how apt the setting is, how the lights must have been just so in the infant Munch’s bedroom, too ill to go outside. Munch fits into that particular cliché of being so sickly a child he had to be kept at home in a dark room, with only art and books to keep him company. Rooms 5 and 6 in the National Gallery, where an exhibition of Munch’s prints is currently being held, work

laden with dementia and histrionics. Perhaps such figures as Nietzsche, who had accepted the fundamentally negative nature of the universe and human existence, offered him a kind of comfort, a reassurance that he hadn’t been victimized by fate. This kind of fear or insecurity is what for me makes his work moving, and prevents him from being labelled as simply unnerving or grotesque. His life was one of trials and darkness from its outset, and in these prints we can see an unashamed attempt to pose often asked questions clearly, with the hope of obtaining some kind of answer. It’s something special to Munch that he renders the watcher the accused, confronting us either with hostile depictions of ourselves or the results of our actions against others. With his figures cowering and acting the supplicant, it’s hard to tell

This month sees the Douglas Hyde Gallery run its collaborative project Preponderance of the Small, a part of its Gallery 3 initiative, alongside the two usual exhibitions in the gallery itself. The project consists of 21 different artworks, by 21 young Irish artists, installed in 21 locations in close proximity to the original gallery. This alternative approach to exhibiting might mean that the collection isn’t as practical to digest in one sitting as a conventional display held under one roof, but this is clearly the intention. With participating venues including the likes of Bewley’s, the Powerscourt Centre and seven locations within Trinity College itself, the idea seems to be that you’ll run into the creations by chance as you go about your daily life. You can pick up a map of the featured venues from the Douglas Hyde Gallery or download one from their website. Having said this, running into the artworks by chance may be easier said than done: as someone who went actively searching for the works, I can testify that they often slip by unnoticed. Often, I was virtually staring right at the piece before I realised it was there. In the Sony Centre on St. Stephen’s Green, I stumbled around the shop for a good ten minutes, avoiding sales-deprived staff desperately persuading me to buy a new laptop, only to realise the video installation I was looking for (Tristan Hutchinson’s ‘Commution’) was in the shop window, facing outwards. At times this became frustrating, however there is a sense of achievement to be felt when you finally spot a piece you’ve been searching for (asking staff is cheating). I imagine the element of surprise felt by those who ‘find’ the works by accident would be equally as pleasing: it’s kind of like a modern art treasure hunt. After all, though it might make them more elusive, it is the works’ small scales, and their tendencies to blend into their surroundings, which make them so special. Whilst many artworks are designed to take centre stage, these understated creations prefer to complement their setting. For

well with the pieces in mimicking the conditions that kick started the artist’s sense of isolation and ever impending doom. Steeped by his father in morbid religious fanaticism and Edgar Allan Poe, Munch was never allowed to forget the closeness of death, a family trait that came to a head with the death of his sister who’d been diagnosed with madness. On the topic of his childhood, Munch said “The angels of sorrow and death stood by my side since the day I was born”, a very grandiose statement that not every artist could deliver on in his art, but Munch manages to always make manifest this macabre outlook. Arguably the greatest Germanic painter to come out of his generation, he went through a phase of Impressionism, a movement whose boundaries he eventually pushed until he was creating something unprecedented, always becoming less concerned with the appeal of superficial beauty. I think it is in this cohesion of the personality Impressionism allows for, and Munch’s urgency to provoke a reaction of empathy in the viewer, that his distinction amongst other artists is most evident. Despite his refreshingly honest and almost naive approach to his art - “In my art I attempt to explain life and its meaning to myself” – his work never strays far from this inbred pessimism and fear. In even his most straightforward portraits mortality plays a crucial role, his self portrait from 1895 being modelled on a memorial tablet with a skeletal arm sprawled across the foreground. Nothing is allowed to remain mundane and trivial. His portrait of Nietzsche, at first sight the only print containing any light, actually refers to Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and Nietzsche’s unease at being in the light, and thus out of the dark. Pretty much all of Munch’s figures are uncomfortable and ill at ease, and in many cases look to the viewer for an explanation or an apology. A degree of transference onto his subjects isn’t surprising; having lost his mother and sister at a young age, Munch was never going to be able to free himself entirely of a childhood

where blame is being allocated – on the accompanying figures or ourselves. Having been befriended by his very own local nihilist Hans Jaeger, a man who told Munch that “a passion to destroy is also a creative passion” and that suicide was tantamount to freedom, it’s easy to see what’s influencing Munch when he aims to depict people at their most basic and unaffected level. Especially twisted are his portrayals of women, caught up in either an orgasm or a state of emotional dismay. His Madonna shows a confrontational woman writhing against the foreground of the picture, embodying for us what Munch saw as the very holy moment of conception. Though she’s shown to us as desirable and liberated, the border of the image is lined with squirming sperm, and in the corner an eerie embryo bends over itself, suggesting to us that even in moments of creation and holiness the all permeating sordidness can’t be shaken off. Munch never managed to cope with the fluctuating gender roles the sexual revolution of the day was confronting him with. This could to some extent explain the sneaky undertones of cynicism and oppression when he deals with the female subject. In Woman II he breaks the feminine cycle down into the three main stages of pubescent virgin, sexed up hussy, and disappointed hag. Could Munch really not come to terms with the complexity of women, or is he trying to simplify something that scares and intimidates him, namely the blurring of sexual boundaries contemporary culture was producing. With Death and the Woman he literally pushes women right into the arms of death and holds them there, mocking them with skeletal phallic symbols and the obliviousness with which they pursue their own demise. In fairness, when it comes to depictions of himself he doesn’t indulge in vanity of any sort. Though sometimes guilty of misogyny, he can’t be accused of narcissism. Self Portrait

Preponderance of the Small

with Bottle of Wine shows Munch days before his mental breakdown and admission into a Copenhagen Clinic. Here again the viewer is confronted with an accusatory stare, an almost sheepish man caught in the middle of a shameful situation made worse by our callous intrusion. This sort of viewer interaction can be most readily applied to The Scream lithograph. A piece influenced by the philosopher Schopenhauer who said a painting was limited in its expression due to its inability to provoke a scream in the viewer, it shows a mutant figure caught up in a frenzy of terror and panic. The wavy lines of the image suggest the reverberations of an ear piercing cry that shakes up reality, and the central figure is so pitiful and forlorn guilt is an almost automatic response. Is this undeniably visceral reaction what has made The Scream Munch’s most recognisable piece? The sexless being is defined only by its expression of horror; nothing else need be included to convey to us what came from Munch’s unflinching self-investigation and introspection.

“

So in putting these images into a series called the Frieze of Life, what is Munch trying to get across? Does Munch confront us with subjective portrayals of his own life or ours in general? Regardless of why they’re there, as always through art we see things through another human’s perspective. These small prints act as windows onto a life that was riddled with torment and confusion, and the figures that look back out at us make certain we can’t avoid the suffering they feel. With his figures in a state of either suspense or suspension, the urgency of Munch’s work can be located here, in his frantic efforts to translate for us the morbid quality his everyday life was steeped in. What he said of his father, “From him I inherited the seeds of madness”, adds another dimension to his pained depictions, that seem to stretch out toward you and in every direction, saying You don’t know, You weren’t there. Sue Rainsford

I was virtually staring right at the piece before I realised it was there

example, Paul Hickey’s ‘Weave #4’ (a collection of Dulux paint swatches intertwined around the fencing of Trinity’s tennis courts) harmonises with the autumnal tones of the trees surrounding it, subtly reflecting the many hues found in the leaves at this time of year. Other pieces simulate their surroundings in a more direct way – Maggie Madden’s polychromatic model of a cityscape, comprising of multicore telephone wire, sits amidst real architectural models by Eileen Gray in the foyer of the Irish Architectural Archive (Merrion Square). Likewise, the glass cabinets of geological artefacts housed in Trinity’s Museum Building are somewhat comically (though no less beautifully) mimicked by Laura McMorrow’s ‘Cardboard Rocks’ – an assortment of recycled cardboard boxes with precious stones and fossils painted on them, housed in a museum-esque glass case. Rather than competing with and overriding their surroundings, these pieces serve to highlight the beauty of the objects they imitate, and cause the viewer to take a second look at what may otherwise have been passed by unnoticed. This is one of the advantages of the Preponderance... project’s novel approach to displaying works: each piece is carefully designed to integrate into its venue – and the venues are often worthy of admiration in themselves, making the whole experience more rounded. This is a feat which would be hard to achieve within the bare, whitewashed walls of a gallery. In addition, the collaborative style of the project means we not only encounter more variety in the venues, but also more artists, each with a different approach to the task. A wider variety of materials than usual are utilised – from the traditional oil-on-canvas (used on Gillian Lawler’s untitled piece in the Freemasons Hall) to concrete, film and, frequently, “mixed media” – which can mean anything from discarded erasers to empty packets of King’s Crisps. All of them, however unlikely they may seem as artists’ materials, are put to surprisingly good use. Finally, the mood of the artworks, and the effect they have upon the viewer, will also, naturally, vary. Niall de Buitlear’s sentimental ‘Found Bookmark Project’ in the National Library will bring a smile to even the dreariest face – the forgotten bookmarks of hundreds of library users are collected and displayed (mostly via video, though some arranged on a table-top). Of all the artworks, this is perhaps the most personal, especially since handwritten notes feature prominently in the collection, evoking daydreams of who left them there...and perhaps a little paranoia that my own scribblings aren’t amongst them somewhere. Some of the artworks bear hints of wit and irony (‘Cardboard Rocks’), some carry messages (‘Nothing lasts forever’ by Laura Fitzgerald, to be found in Road Records), whilst others are simply beautiful to look at: Beth O’Halloran’s ‘Let’s go home, little bear’, in Blooming Amazing, is as pretty as the flowers which surround it. Unfortunately, it’s probably a fair assumption that the vast majority of people who pass by these creations may fail to even notice them. But those who are attentive to their surroundings, and who stop to appreciate the works, will be rewarded. This is perhaps the overriding message of the project: to encourage us to take the time to observe the minute; to pay attention to detail; to celebrate our small successes. Each of these understated artworks serves to turn our attention back to these little things in life that we so frequently neglect, in our frantic search for grandiosity and ‘the bigger picture’. So in future, when you’re out wandering around town, try to keep your eyes peeled – whether it’s for one of the artworks exhibited in Preponderance of the Small, or for the many ignored and overlooked objects of beauty the project celebrates, and which are around us everywhere. Sometimes in life, it’s good to think small. Rosalind Abbott

TIMESBOOKS Book Reviews

pleasantries are littered throughout the chapters. In one painfully long paragraph a psychopathic outlaw bites off a character’s cheek and devours it. That is of course after he tries smashing her head in… ‘nuff said. Martin employs a POV character for each of his chapters throughout the series. This leads to a refreshing read as you explore key characters’ opinions and experiences, delving deep into their personality, allowing a different reading experience for each chapter. For example, as you read through chapters from the power-hungry queen, they are filled with scheming and the nuances of medieval court. This is contrasted with other characters that find themselves in combat, on the run or in hiding. However it also fragments the storyline and causes the timeline to be slightly convoluted, engaging the reader on multiple fronts as they wrestle with the repercussion of one character’s chapter with the beginning of another’s. Even more basic is that there are just some characters you might not want to read about, depending on their situations. I admit that whenever I arrived at certain chapters I felt compelled to just slowly close the book. One of my favourite POV was the queen regent, who commands the throne, as her son

with Alba, a prostitute who speaks no English, telling her about his dead wife Dorothy, marvelling “at how easy it is, suddenly, telling it all to her, out loud, with not a word of it understood.” “Dorothy, called Dottie, or Dot – even the diminutions of her name reducing her to next to nothing – a mere fortnight dead, is already, shockingly, this day in Venice, fading in his thought.” Therein, the human condition: an overture of beating, bestial drums; and a coda of plaintive flicks at the tired old heart strings. chapter of a work in progress entitled The Sinking City. It is in The Infinities that this chapter, edited slightly, finds itself finally bound. Pitched past pitch of grief, it would seem for Banville, as this chapter, perfectly pitched, follows Old Adam through Venice, in the weeks after his first wife’s suicide. It is one of Banville’s best chapters and, without a doubt, the stand-out effort of The Infinities. “That beacon in the jungle has been turned low again,” announces the narrator, as, spent at last, Old Adam lies

have the reader wondering if Banville, the old dog, has forgotten a few old tricks. It gradually becomes clear that Banville is as mischievous as the gods themselves, strutting along the dividing fences with the style and esprit not of an old dog, but an assured peacock. “Only sometimes I am omniscient,” admits the old dog Hermes later on, the glint in his eye almost blinding. Sometimes he’s not even Hermes. Before The Infinities, Banville’s last bound paragraph of fiction was The Sea’s parting word, possibly the best passage he has ever written, in which Max Morden, the novel’s narrator and protagonist, recalls being called in from the beach on the morning his wife at last gave up her struggle with cancer. “A nurse came out to fetch me, and I turned and followed her inside, and it was as if I were walking into the sea.” In the years since he won the Booker Prize for The Sea, Banville published three pseudonymous crime novels, a generous smattering of literary journalism and, most interestingly, in the pages of the Manchester Review, a first ld Adam lies comatose in the Sky room, while below, his family potters about, waiting for him to die. Hermes flies down for the day to keep an active watch over the Godleys and the intervening gods, most notably his lecherous father, Zeus. I will not remember The Infinities, John Banville’s first novel in five years, for its plot – nobody will, I trust. In fact, I have all but forgotten it two days since I came to the end of this, an unremarkable plot based on Kleist’s Amphytron about which I will happily make no more remark. But what varnish! “I have – he has, he, I must stick to the third person – he has lost track of time, he who once was one of time’s masters and a keeper of its keys.” Almost from the off, Banville – who has for some twenty years sown and reaped in the first person – seems to struggle to remain within the boundaries of the field he has this time chosen to plough, the third person narrative. Little mistakes, like gaps in the knowledge of the supposedly omniscient narrator Hermes,

is only a child. Despite wanting what’s best for her son-king, her personality is filled with venom and her actions in this book are completely unadulterated. She sleeps, shouts and drinks her way to her goals, and this is by far her most prominent role in the series so far. There also seemed to be some new unimportant POV characters used solely because there was no one else at hand. This felt slightly clumsy in comparison to the other longstanding characters originating from previous books. Reading a chapter simply titled ‘The Prophet’ somehow made me feel unfulfilled. While this latest book does seem to start slipping random characters into the mix, it generally wasn’t a major deterrent as most of these were bearable at the least. They did offer insight into some other aspects of the book’s universe. Of course balanced against Martin’s everappealing realistic style of writing, it is nothing but a pinprick against enjoyment. His storytelling flows easily along the barbs and stings of archaic customs that echoes of our own past eons ago. Overall, I definitely recommend this book, or any of his books in the saga so far. They are engaging, exciting and will keep you racing ahead for more. I for one, am eagerly awaiting the next segment of his immersive series.

Released last year, A Feast For Crows is the fourth instalment – fifth if you count the third novel’s two-book split – in the ongoing fantasy saga by George R. R. Martin. His unfinished series, A Song of Ice and Fire, has in total a whopping seven books, each filled with rich detail, a plethora of characters and a lot of pages to keep you reading. Martin’s universe expands even further in this book, introducing new characters and deepening the chaos that embroils their lives. His use of plot twists are numerous but not incredulous; tweaks and tugs that carry the story along through blood, fire and sexual encounters-which are all very graphic I must say. Queens are cast down, characters thought dead are not, and war simmers until brought to boil. There are even things between the lines that, though are not openly expressed by the book, can be deduced if you look hard enough. Try to find mention of the two gay characters having an affair. (I for one was astounded I missed something that significant.) Frustratingly enough though, is that along with a well-crafted universe come the wellcrafted genealogies. As much as I extol his consistency with a fictional world, the various noble families and expansions thereof can definitely confuse some readers. Many a time did I flick back to the appendix to trace how some-such character was related to some-such king. Note that this is not LOTR with its airy poetic descriptions lasting half the book; this is the hard gritty stuff. Elements of high fantasy – magic, elves, other glittery things – are obsolete or kept to a minimum, which I thought was more engaging then the overly fantastic. Detailed scenes of the horrors of medieval war are shown in all its blood and glory while beheadings, torture and other (un)

Kevin Breathnach

“Outside, the air has turned to the colour of inky water.” Light, as well as tone are struck perfectly once more, but not in the same key as the rest of the novel, whose tone carries a certain frivolity and whose light is yellow, buttery, golden. For all its poise and profundity, the chapter is in some respects a failure. It was not conceived, I am convinced, as part of The Infinities. Hermes absents himself until, on the final pages, realising it would not do to leave the narrator out entirely, Banville takes on once more the mischievous voice of Hermes and relates to us a few words on the fates of Eurydice and Orpheus. He even makes a slapdash effort to yellow the chapter in its final paragraph with, “the lemony sunlight of the Italian noon.”

It is as if Banville could not bring himself to let this magisterially composed chapter remain unbound any longer, and so pasted it in the middle of a finished novel, unwilling to properly thread its tale throughout. This, for the writer supposedly content with two finished sentences per day, seems rushed. As always, Banville daubs his work with traces of black humour which, still wet, seem darker than the black canvas on which they are painted, and yet, for now, the traces glisten. Reflecting, for example, on the distance he kept from his son from birth, Old Adam laments: “How unfair I was to him, unfairer than I was to Ursula, even, and now it is too late to make amends. Spilt milk, spilt milk – the dairy floor is awash and the dairyman and his missus are weeping buckets.” Banville has a keen poetic eye and a remarkable gift for phrasing which, together, have allowed him realise some degree of his stated intention to write prose with the density of poetry. Every page he publishes is a field waiting to be mined for treasure. “And then will come the first and faintest susurrus of rain, like the sound of a blind man’s fingers reading Braille.” There are nuggets of gold such as this one strewn throughout this, Banville’s fifteenth novel, and though this effort’s plot is weaker than his last, the act of reading it is a treasure hunt, as always, albeit with a less interesting companion this time around. No matter: we all go home richer, don’t we?

reporting of this story. With respect to Mr. Cullen, the media have merely utilised the Freedom of Information Act to bring to public attention clear misuse of public funds by Mr. O’Donoghue. It is to be hoped that this story will ultimately serve to achieve a greater degree of accountability in how politicians claim their expenses, and some form of vouching will come into effect in the near future. Furthermore, and more importantly, what is at issue here is not corruption per se, rather it is an inappropriate degree of extravagance that has served to anger the public and further alienate the political class from the people they represent. As Mr. Gilmore put it, “There a sense out there that this is some kind of a club here and it has its own rules, own procedures and doesn’t seem to be connected with the lives of people, particularly at the moment where they are suffering so badly”. It is for this reason that, for the first time in the history of the State, it was absolutely necessary that the Ceann Comhairle be removed from office.

McGrath, described Mr. O’Donoghue as “having swanned around like a latter-day prince”. The primary significance of this story is that it serves to further undermine the people’s confidence in their elected representatives. It is much more difficult to garner public support for the tough economic reforms that need to be undertaken when there is an underlying suspicion that politicians are out of touch with ordinary people. Many ask why they, as ordinary workers, should be the ones to feel the effects of economic hardship, while those who are making the decisions that are so adversely affecting their lives live in a parallel universe of profligate, unvouched expense claims. Certain politicians seem to continue to miss the point. Mr. O’Donoghue’s successor as Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, Martin Cullen, spoke robustly last week in defence of his “profession”. (How can politics be deemed a “profession”? What qualifications do they have? But I digress.) Mr. Cullen said, “I’m not going to roll over and pretend that somehow over the last ten or fifteen years that people like me were somehow involved in some corruption or wrong activity”. He said that the media “have much to answer for” in their

recently than, for example, the impending NAMA legislation, an issue wholly more relevant to the financial wellbeing of the country. Fianna Fáil TD for Longford-Westmeath Mary O’Rourke admitted that the O’Donoghue issue and the inappropriate use of funds in FÁS were the two main issues raised with her on the doorsteps during the Lisbon campaign. Two details of Mr. O’Donoghue’s expenditure particularly publicised by the media are as follows. He spent €472 on a limousine to transfer him between terminals in Heathrow where a free public shuttle service operated, and he reclaimed as an expense a £1 donation to UNICEF. It doesn’t matter that Mr. O’Donoghue didn’t do anything “wrong”, or break any codes of conduct. It doesn’t matter that in a broad context, the money he wasted will scarcely be noticed. What matters is the culture of extravagance which is exemplified by these and many other items of expenditure which have come to light over the last few weeks. It is a culture which is utterly remote from the lives of the ordinary citizens that people such as Mr. O’Donoghue, who is first and foremost a TD for Kerry South, is supposed to represent. His party colleague, Fianna Fáil TD for Tipperary South Mattie

Why has the John O’Donoghue expenses furore dominated our news media to such a degree before and since the Lisbon referendum? To all intents and purposes, Mr. O’Donoghue is a decent politician and a decent man. It was with great reluctance that Eamon Gilmore informed him last week that he would have to resign, or else be forced from office. Mr. O’Donoghue was a popular Ceann Comhairle, seen by all parties as being efficient and fair. Certainly, the scale of Mr. O’Donoghue’s expense claims was inappropriate. The best estimates of the Sunday Tribune put the figure in the region of €550,000 for his five years as Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism, and €100,000 for his two years as Ceann Comhairle. But why has the story been given so much attention? Such figures, unpalatable as they may be, are wholly inconsequential in the context of our current financial crisis. As the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan remarked, “Ireland is facing a very serious fiscal crisis” and “the abolition of Oireachtas expenses would not solve that crisis to any degree”. The fact remains however that the story has provoked a great degree of public anger. It has received more attention ON PAGE 4 in ‘Candidates emerge in provostial election’ we in correctly stated that ‘most academics, administrative staff and several student representatives vote in the election for Provost.’ in fact only most academics and several student representatives can vote not administrative staff.

Will O’Donoghue now pay the price? CORRECTIONS

Sir, I am writing on behalf of Dublin University Rifle Club to express our disappointment at your portrayal of our organisation in your article ‘A week to remember’, published in the University Times. The author, the Deputy Editor, implied that membership of our club was something to be ashamed of, that members of our club were untrustworthy, and that our existence puts the lives and well being of other students at risk. We feel that we have been discriminated against in this article, as we were the only society or club to be portrayed negatively. The article featured prominently in your Freshers’ Week spread and a quote pertaining to the Rifle club was picked out as a highlight of the article. The Rifle Club has an impeccable safety record and a strong commitment to promoting the responsible use of firearms. We are inconstant cooperation with college security and the Superintendent of Pearse St.Garda Station to ensure standards are in line with the highest possible expectations, and we do not condone the use of any form of firearm for violent purposes. We exist solelyfor the advancement of target shooting as a safe and enjoyable pastime. This is the second incident in recent years in which an SU backed newspaper has portrayed the rifle club as a collection of unsavory, unhinged individuals, and as you can appreciate, such implications are very damaging for any club, especially one which shoulders the grave responsibilities inherent with the cooperation of firearms. For many years the Rifle Club has provided the students of Trinity College with the opportunity to try two seperate Olympic target shooting disciplines, sports which for many would be otherwise inaccessible.

Yours faithfully, Lorcan O’Carroll Secretary, DURC

The University Times REMEMBERING THE LESSONS OF TODAY

his paper wishes to recognise the hard work of all the people that have done so much and taken so little in return in their determination to fight against the reintorduction of third level fees. There is nothing that can be said to belittle the geniune zeal which carried them up what many said would

be an impossible climb. There are beliefs that some hold that are so strong that they are motivated not by self interest or ego but by proud display of human solidarity. Looking at the footprints many have left on this climb we know that they have been climbing towards the same ends and with a great sense of fraternity they have all reached the

goal at the same time. Every trip teaches us a lesson. What we have learned on this expedition could send us a long way to achieving many of the things that we must now turn our minds to. These things are things that effect us all. They effect our ability to know where we are to live, how we are to learn and why we must stay united.

Sometimes when you walk though the College surrounded by history we remember those that have gone before us and the great traditions they have left; we forget those that are here with us now and the things that we need now so that one day people here after us might remember the achievements we have left for them. The list of what we must fight for

Credit where credit is due

ast Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee announced that US President Barack Obama would be the next recipient of its Peace Prize. Undoubtedly surprising, this decision has left a string of seemingly irreconcilable and redundant debates in its wake. So, does Obama really deserve the prize? True to form, mainstream media took little time in outlining the shortcomings of the Obama administration to date: his health care program is crap, he hasn’t scored a major foreign policy victory yet...blah blah blah (played on repeat 24 hours a day). Aside from the fact that these claims are rather obvious, destructive (as opposed to constructive, which is good) and moany (which, by the way, is a result of the failure of the news channels to consider/frame Obama’s achievements in the real terms of what he can do with the resources available to him- including a recalcitrant Congress- rather than the impulsive prone-to-being-dissatisfied-and-bitchy standards of an irritable Republican who hasn’t got a clue what the hell is really going on

due to him refusing, on the basis of some ill formed characterization of the Democrats/”Gay Liberals who want to destroy America”, to watch something other than Fox), implicit in them is a number of big assumptions. Assumption number one (there’s

should they not award the prize instrumentally in such a way that promotes peace? “But does that in some way undermine those that have previously attained the prize?”, I hear you think. Maybe, but will those people really give a damn? Do you really think

The Nobel Peace Prize’s function is to recognise people who have worked for peace really only one assumption): The Nobel Peace Prize is only meant to reward someone who has already done lots to attain world peace. This is muppetry. The Nobel Peace Prize’s function is to recognise people who have worked for peace because the committee think that peace should be promoted i.e. because peace is good. If the Nobel Peace Prize Committee think peace is good, then why

John Hume or Kofi Annan is going to be like, “Damn that bastard Obama. I spent bloody ages working for my peace prize. All he had to do was shout “change” and “hope” and shit and he gets one (followed by a quick return to a stoic disposition).”? Anyway, let’s not shortchange Obama either. Relations with Iran have warmed thanks to him. From what I’ve heard he also managed to

re-instill hope and belief (and a general buzz) in an entire generation of Americans. Admittedly it’s no “being Secretary-General of the UN”, but I reckon that’s pretty good. Will it undermine the prize’s own status and purpose (rather than the people who have received it) i.e. to reward work for peace because the cost required to get it is now less? Yes, but what’s more important: the integrity of the notion of the award itself or the purpose for which it exists i.e. to promote peace? If the award gets really crap, and we start giving it to randomers in the hope that they will do something good for the world, we can always come up with a new prize. It’d have to be really hard to get, though. So whenever anyone got it everyone would be like: “holy crap, that guy really deserved that. He was like a martyr or something...”. Yeah, that’d be sweet.

The Audacity of Nobel Ronan Costello

ou could tell he didn’t want it. Not yet, at least. When Barack Obama walked out to the Rose Garden to say that he would be accepting the Nobel Peace Prize he knew that in doing so he was making any future failures that much more difficult. Not only that but he surely knew that questions would come, even from those who support him, about how much he has really done to deserve such an award. But the Nobel crowd just couldn’t wait to give it to him. I’m guessing they made their decision on it around the time he appeared in Berlin during last year’s campaign and addressed a crowd which, for all intents and purposes, represented Europe. They must’ve creamed themselves then. Or maybe they weren’t so hastey. Maybe the Cairo speech was what clinched it for him. Maybe the guy in the crowd who shouted “I love you” during the Cairo speech was actually Thorbjorn Jagland, chairman of the Nobel committee. It’s quite clear that the prize was awarded to Obama not just because

of his “world vision” and diplomatic skills, but also as a European rebuke

have been hard pressed to have found one voice of dissent from European leaders last Friday. They practically fell over themselves to hail his diplomacy, vision and potential. Back home the reception wasn’t quite so warm. Sure, the New York Times ultimately concluded that it was a positive in his young Presidency. However, others questioned why the list of positives was so short, or rather why the list of concrete positives, not simply flourishes of posi-

The Nobel crowd just couldn’t wait to give it to him of the Bush administration. For eight years the Bush administration sidelined and mocked Europe as an increasingly irrelevant player in global politics (except for the co-operative British). As a result, Dubya became a tired punchline long before the end of his first term. He simply wasn’t a man with whom Europeans could identify. He was as American as apple pie and we didn’t like it. We sulked that we didn’t have an American President who, from time to time, would go on a tour of Europe and disembark from Air Force One like a rock star hailing his European fans. Dubya simply was not one of us. Barack, on the other hand. You’d

tive rhetoric, was so short. Even the jibes of late night talk show hosts, normally an Obama friendly crowd, became that bit more barbed. Leno remarked that it was the biggest accomplishment of his administration to date. Jon Stewart, the premiere arbiter on American matters politique, beseeched the President to “chow down” on his oft-invoked “full plate” of things to do. The question is then, with so little concrete accomplishments, how can Obama possibly have deserved the prize? The simple answer is, he didn’t. Even Thorbjorn Jagland’s justification seemed porous. He said that the Nobel had been awarded to

sitting leaders of state before in order to validate their vision, citing Mikhail Gorbachev. Gorbachev received the award in 1990. By that time he had been head of state for five years and had already achieved substantive gains in his quest to open up the USSR. Looking back on the list of previous winners it’s hard to find one that would seem to have achieved as little as Obama. Was Bush really so bad that his successor, however inspiring he may be, deserves such an accolade so early in his Presidency? I have no doubt that by the end of Obama’s first term he will have made substantial contributions to peace and in slowing nuclear proliferation. I have no doubt that his style of diplomacy is what the world has needed for a long time. Even if America is attacked again, I would remain convinced that Obama’s outstretched hand style of foreign policy is more constructive than the closed fist of Bush. These, however, are exactly the qualities we should expect from a leader of the free world. It’s immensely gratifying to see them but they do not a Nobel winner make.

is long but we must attempt to make some impresssion however small because every thing that is crossed of that list makes life a little better for someone that you may know. This paper is proud today and will be tomorrow but we need to keep working so that we can be proud that day after that.

Where do we go from here? Remember the last referendum? There was literally no mention of many important issues which were lauded by the ‘Yes’ side this time round. Truly, it is difficult to blame the Irish people entirely for being skeptical the last time around. There are valuable lessons to be learned from the whole fiasco, which started with the rejection of the European Constitution by Dutch and French voters in 2005. It’s time for everyone in Europe to start asking themselves: where are we heading with the European Union? The benefits of Europe are clear. The common market has reaped enormous benefits for the people of Europe, and there is still room for improvement. To the extent to which common policy is necessary and mutually beneficial, there is room for central European government that everyone can agree upon. Beyond areas like trade and security, how much common consensus is there regarding social and economic policy? Not much. It will always prove difficult to settle disputes in these areas because of the nature of the Union. In terms of voting power, there will always be a trade-off between the power of individual states to protect their national interest and proportionality of influence on the level of the individual voter. Today, we correctly enjoy something in between. Ireland rightly has less influence than, say, Germany. But a German voter is under-represented in many arenas by comparison with an Irish voter. This will always be the case, so Europe will never be truly democratic - at least while national identity still exists. Regardless, if Europe is to expand its competencies at the expense of National Parliaments (because it is increasingly a zero-sum game), the only way it can justly do so is with the consent of all its peoples. Don’t kid yourself. If European institutions are strengthened, it will be through unilateral decision-

Ireland rightly has less influence than, say, Germany making and exclusive competency. To date, this has been a creeping process with no proper end-goal in sight. This commentator supported the Treaty of Lisbon for practical reasons, not least because there was no clear vision of how much damage could have been done to Ireland by another ‘No’ vote. But European politicians pushed through this particular treaty largely without the consent of its people. Some parliaments have the power to do so, obviously. Since most aspects of the treaty are completely innocuous and entirely beneficial for all involved, what is the problem? The problem is that, even if European voters would have voted ‘Yes’ to Lisbon had they all been given the same amount of persuading as Irish voters, they weren’t. This is lack of consent, even if it is in tune with the power afforded to national parliaments on the continent. The transformation of the European Constitution into the Treaty of Lisbon was also largely smoke and mirrors.

The transformation of the European Constitution into the Treaty of Lisbon was also largely smoke and mirrors. Most citizens of Europe have been persuaded of the benefits of the common market. Can the same be said of all the other areas in which the European institutions are extending their influence? Absolutely not. Europe was functioning pretty alright before the Treaty of Lisbon, and none of the reforms seemed decidedly urgent. But even if we allow them the benefit of the doubt for the time being, it’s now time to put the brakes on Europe. What is needed now is some honest and open debate on where the European Union is heading. How far is integration going to go? Do politicians envisage more common governance, and maybe some day a federated Europe? Because the people of Europe have never been told where the union is heading. The current, creeping process of shifting power to Brussels makes it easy (and pretty accurate) to characterise the EU as undemocratic. Not necessarily because people don’t like where it’s heading (although many do) but because it’s going there on a mind of its own. If we need to be reminded of how out-of-touch European politicians are with public opinion, we need only look as far back as the European Constitution. We will forgive the European Union this time for pushing a bunch of reforms through national parliaments without persuading most citizens of the benefits. But never again. Ireland’s referenda have been pretty reflective of the European meme: We’re not saying ‘Yes’ until somebody really tells us what we’re saying ‘Yes’ to, and why. Jonathan Wyse

Dublin is never going to be Amsterdam Hubie Davison My mother once told me a story of her father working as a quantity surveyor. The building was a squash court in Phoenix Park.

Having been told of what could only be wonderful myths of honour schemes working “jusht grreat!” in metropolises such as Copenhagen and Amsterdam, where citizens take a bike as they please, and cycle credit card-free all over the city for a small deposit, all I could remember was the depressing notion of such a system failing in Dublin. Once introduced, I felt sure that the bikes would replace the

shopping trolley-craze and be seen protruding from the Liffey like Ron Jeremy in the bath. In an effort to cut down on any more sexual metaphors, I’ll get the obvious ‘village bicycle’ quip out of the way now. However, not everyone’s had a ride.

Expecting five thousand applications for membership cards in the first year, Dublin City Council was swamped with prospective customers, over eleven thousand in the first fortnight. Quite a lot more than expected, and at least twenty-four times the number of bikes. Four hundred and fifty bikes for a population of roughly a million – hookers are more plentiful, and they’re not confined to the city centre. So, imagine for a moment that you managed to successfully apply for membership, you promised the hundred and fifty euro safety deposit with the required credit card (not a requirement in Copenhagen or Amsterdam), and actually find a bike at, say, rush hour, when you’re most likely to use it (and when up to about 10,999 other people may be interested in it) – you then need to deal with angry motorists. According to the Dublin Bike blog, a particularly angry motorist in Co. Meath turned his car around when motioned to slow down by the Dublin Wheelers cycling club, and approached at speed from behind, taking them down “like skittles” (miraculously, only one of them was hospitalised). However, as the first month or so has shown, initial worries have been wrong. Sort of. Three bicycles have

been reported missing – two unreturned, one stolen. While the unreturned bikes have since been accounted for, the latter was found – wait for it – poking proudly from the surface of the Liffey in erect defiance of Dublin City Council’s unexpectedly

successful performance. The Copenhagen system has been generally successful – it is, according to www. denmark.net, “one of the most bike friendliest cities in the world!” – a DKK 20 coin (roughly €2.50) allows you to cycle to any one of the 125

bike stations in the city and reclaim your deposit. Paris’ Velib system has suffered some setbacks: of the 15,000 bike fleet, almost half have been stolen or vandalised, many vandals filming their exploits in what has become a YouTube craze known as

“Velib extreme”. The practice has damaged plans for a similar car-sharing plan known as AutoLib, postponed until next year. So in spite of petty worries, a history of trollies in the river and the port tunnel debacle, Dublin has actually

Letting Polanski flee: is Europe now to be seen as a safe haven for rapists? Marykate Collins The recent arrest of film director Roman Polanski has sparked outrage amongst many well known international faces. Polanski was arrested on arrival into Switzerland on september 26th in response to a warrant issued by the U.S. Justice Department. Anybody familiar with the life of the director will be aware that he has been fleeing sentencing

in the U.S. since 1977 when he was charged with statutory rape. Which brings me to the point of this article; why has it taken so long for this man to be apprehended? It seems to be simply a case of one law for them and another much, much stricter one for us. The rape of a 13 year girl, were it to be committed by an unknown citizen, would generate immediate

consternation; the perpetrator would be hounded until justice was done. And rightly so. Yet for some reason, clearly the fact alone that Polanski was so well known, led to him being able to flee for over 30 years. Am I the only person who sees his arrest as a belated victory for all of us who believe in justice? For you to get the full picture of just how serious his crime was I will unfortunatly have to go into some amount of detail. On the night of March 11th 1977 Polanski was using Jack Nicholson’s house on Mulholland Drive as the location of a photo shoot for French Vogue, of which he was guest editor. The 13 year old victim, Samantha Geimer, was the model for this shoot, which involved her

first posing topless and subsequently naked, lounging in a jacuzzi. Polanski pleaded guilty to raping Geimer orally, anally and vaginally over the course of the evening. Naturally terrified, the young girl was unable to escape his advances. Following his indictment on various sex charges, Polanski agreed to a plea deal that spared him prison time (he had spent about 45 days in jail during a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation). But when it seemed that a Superior Court judge might not honour the deal--and sentence Polanski to prison--the director fled the country. Not until now has he been apprehended, which impels me to ask; What exactly have the ‘Authorities’ been doing for the

past 30 years? For someone so clearly in the public eye, regularly appearing at film festivals and the like, it outrages and disgusts me to think that he has been let off the hook because of who he is. Who is Roman Polanski then? He is a rapist and no amount of accolades or celebrity friends will change that fact. Now before people start saying that he has had a hard life, let me say that I am fully aware of his grievances and his struggles to escape the Polish ghettos. Yes it is tragic that his wife and unborn child were murdered, and it is also tragic that he clearly in some way mentally tortured, but does this really justify rape? The simple answer is no; nothing justifies rape. However Polanski will

probably once again manage to avoid jail time, he is after all 75 years old so what is the point, right? This is what they will all say. Amongst his better known ‘supporters’ are Neil Jordan, Salman Rushdie, The Zurich Film Festival (he was on his way to be honoured there with a Lifetime Achievement Award when he was arrested). However perhaps the most despicable plea for his case came from Whoopi Goldberg, who classified the rape as “not raperape”. Seriously? So what exactly is rape-rape? As far as I am concerned it is not technically rape if committed by the well known, much loved, highly talented Roman Polanski. As a society we need to wake up and stop allowing ourselves to be blindsided

by celebrity status. He raped a 13 year old girl, he pleaded guilty, yet he didn’t serve his time. Justice was not obtained, and while justice will never be fully possible for the blatant destruction of a child’s innocence, surely Polanski should face the consequences of his actions, even if it is 30 years too late.

A dark winter lies ahead for the Irish teams in the competition but this year more than any other that has gone before fans of Irish rugby have reason to feel hopeful, perhaps even a little cocky as trophies adorn the cabinets of Irish sides like never before. This winter the Magners League, The Churchill Cup, the Heineken Cup, The Six Nations and most importantly the Grandslam all lie in Irish hands. However as always in sport with success comes expectation which have been further heightened by the exciting additions to the provinces over the summer. Following his heroics in the `Heinieken cup final Rocky Elsom

returned home to his native Australia where this week he was announced as his nations captain for the upcoming season. In response to losing their best player from last season Leinster wasted no time in strengttening their side Irish international Mike Ross and Eoin Reddan have arrived as well as Nathan Hines fresh from his time with the Lions on their tour of South Africa. Johnny Sexton has the unenviable of task of filling the considerable boots of Felipe Contepomi who departed for Toulon but following his form towards the tail end of last season it looks a far from insurmountable task. Munster too have strengthened and pulled off the coup of the summer in signing Jean de Villiers the South African World Cup winning center to help replace Rua Tipoki who has returned home to his native New Zealand. Of all three

provinces Ulster seemed to have the most difficult task with the biggest talking point being the loss of their inspirational skipper hooker Rory Best for the entirety of the season. All three provinces will be hopeful of emerging from their respective pools and both Leinster and Munster will have their eyes firmly set on the final in Stade Francais. Leinster welcomed the Exiles London Irish to Dublin as favourites for the clash with nothing more than a home victory expected. Leinsters expectations were even furthered heightened by the manner with which they outplayed and outfought Munster the previous weekend. What happened over the next 80 minutes simply wasn’t in the script this was the Heinieken Cup champions defending the crown for the first time in their own backyard

the Exiles were meant to lie over and die right? Wrong! Arguments that the handling of the match by French official Roman Poite played a big part in the Exiles shock 12-9 victory could easily be laid out as an excuse but to be honest Leinster didn’t deserve this one. The passion that was so evident the week before against Munster was lacking they were outmanoeuvred at the break down and despite having the Lions share of possession they were simply outfought, London Irish simply wanted it more.In rugby like many other sports when you don’t play with intensity and passion and when your setpeices aren’t up to scratch you get punished Munster travelled to Northampton to renew old rivalries after all it was Northampton that who denied them their first Heineken Cup back in 2000. This was

a Munster team with something to prove they surrendered the Heineken Cup to Leinster so feebly last year and were coming of the back of a 0-30 hiding going into this game . This Munster team is one with something to prove and determined to show that last year was merely a blip on the radar. Unfortunately Munster went down 31-27 to a highly skilled and highly organised Northampton led by mercurial outhalf Shane Geraghty who himself collected 21 points for Northampton. This is the same Shane Geraghty who lined out for Ireland at underage level and following his performance here and with the search on for Ronan O’Garas long term replacement still ongoing it is a shame he didn’t stick it out with the green jersey before selecting to play for his native England. Despite

Trinity’s American Football team American football was first played on the venerable College Park rugby pitch in 1992 and 1993. Trinity Bowl I was played between the Dublin Tornadoes and the Antrim Bulldogs as part of the college’s centenary celebrations, while Trinity Bowl II faced off a representative Irish side against a touring American college football team. The two games were organized by the then-Trinity Thunderbolts, a new club formed by students in the college wanting to play flag football (similar to touch rugby). The Thunderbolts folded after just their third year: as has been the case with many Irish clubs attempting to play

the game, a lack of funding proved to be their death knell. However, with American football’s popularity on the rise again across Europe, the sport returned to Trinity in 2007, this time reincarnated as the Dublin University American Football Club (DUAFC). DUAFC joined the newly formed 8-a-side division of the Irish American Football League (IAFL). The club secured the services of the Head of the Irish American Football Coaches’ Association, Darrin O’Toole, to coach the club through its first season. The inexperienced squad struggled to a 1-5 record, however a sign of

things to come arrived with its first win as the year neared its end, against the Dublin Dragons in a 56-19 blowout. For the following season, a successful Freshers’ Week recruiting drive greatly increased the club’s membership, and this expanded depth set the club on a path to a record-breaking league campaign: DUAFC scored 273 points in eight games on the way to a 7-1 league record. The club also took victory in the first ever Colours series against UCD, with scorelines of 34-0 and 42-0 greatly embarrassing their Belfield neighbours. With the respect of the league’s other clubs under its

“

A successful intervarsity performance will hopefully precede a strong league campaign, which should mark the club’s rise into the highest echelons of the IAFL

belt, this season looks set to be Trinity’s most exciting yet. The inaugural American football intervarsity tournament takes place next month in Limerick, which will pit Trinity and UCD up against two of the country’s most established teams: the UL Vikings and the DCU Saints. The Vikings are Ireland’s most successful team of this decade, champions of the league’s Shamrock Bowl for three years straight. The Saints also represent a formidable opponent, featuring regularly in the league playoffs since their founding in 2002. With a backbone of experienced American and Canadian players to complement the

club’s young squad, it looks set for a bright future. A successful intervarsity performance will hopefully precede a strong league campaign, which should mark the club’s rise into the highest echelons of the IAFL. Finally, tentative plans for the return of the Trinity Bowl this year – Oxford University being possible opponents – will re-establish the sport’s presence on Trinity’s campus for the first time in 16 years. The return of football to Trinity proves that for once, the second time’s the charm. Stephen John Fallon

losing Munster can still hold their heads up high the passion was there for all to see if the execution was not at one stage Munster were 14 points down and looked like leaving Northampton without even a losing bonus point. True to form Munster rallied and might have even grasped victory. With Munster camped on the Northampton line you sensed they were going to do it again and snatch a most unlikely victory however it was not to be as they foolishly gave away a penalty that handed Northampton victory. Despite there trials and tribulations over the summer Ulster were the only Irish province to emerge victorious this weekend as they defeated Bath at an almost flooded Ravenhill on Friday evening. Ulster of course were the first province to win this competition in 1999 but truth be

told it is not a feet they have looked like repeating since. Ian Humphreys finally looks like filling the void left by his brother Davis departure and ran the game from outhalf where he helped himself to 16 of Ulsters points as they ran out comfortable winners 2612. Next up for the provinces are Ulster travel to Edinburgh with renewed confidence whilst Munster host Treviso in a match they really should win whilst Leinster travel to Brive in France knowing the importance of a win has increased 10fold following this weekends shock defeat. Despite this weekends events I feel it would be far to early to right off any of the provinces chances as a long competition lies ahead and Im pretty sure that at least one of these teams will be in the mix when the final comes around in Paris on May 22.

could shake a stick at, the Men’s Sabre event had the second all-DUFC final of the weekend. Having narrowly knocked out Jack McHugh in the Last 8, Ali Mahdavirad fought past Garret Sykes in the semi final to meet Chris Mills who had found himself having to fight past a clubmate on his march to the final - he battled past Rodrigo Gonzales at the semi-final stage. In a seesaw final that went right to the wire that saw both fencers leading at various points, the more experienced Ali triumphed in the end by the narrowest margin possible, 15-14. Congratulations must be extended to all those who took part and set out Trinity’s fencing prowess for all to see. The Fencing Club’s next aim is to maintain their current fantastic form and to develop it further forward in anticipation of the Senior Opens of the coming months.

he 2009 Intermediate Championships provided a healthy ego boost for Trinity’s Fencing Team. Held in UCD on 3 and 4 October, the weekend saw DUFC fencers win four of the six events with a further three second place finishes and three bronze medals. Trinity’s domination was especially evident on Sunday when all three events finished with fencers from our club as champions. The Saturday had seen Trinity’s Men’s Foil squad competition setting the pace in their competition. The Club Captain, Declan Gibbons, finished the day victorious but only after battling through clubmates Donal Mulligan and Ned Mitchell in the semi-final and final respectively, leaving Trinity with three of the four podium places in that event. Also on Saturday, Hannah Lowry-O’Reilly had been incredibly unlucky to lose a close Women’s Epee final 12-11, in an added minute, after fencing sublimely throughout the competition. Trinity’s only entrant in the Women’s Foil event notched the first Trinity victory on Sunday as Jenny Jennings came back from 3-8 down to triumph 15-10, a testament to her mental strength. The semi-final of the Men’s Epee brought about ‘The Battle of the Trinity Alexs’ with Alex Von Rakowski coming out on top of Alex Kelly after a long and entertaining match. Von Rakowski then went on to completely control the final from start to finish, coming out with a convincing 15-8 victory. With more intra-Trinity matches than one

It may seem like a bad idea to openly insult so many people who could tear me limb from limb, but it’s the same logic I apply to music. I’m sure 50 Cent could knock the living daylights out of me. That shouldn’t stop me from saying his music is a pile of cack. Think about it. Have we been alluding ourselves into thinking a load of rubbish sports are good just because the players look scary? You, like most people, probably think ultimate frisbee is rubbish, right? Pretty much the only difference between rugby and ultimate frisbee is that the latter is played by a bunch of dorks. And it takes way less effort to train for. If anything, it’s a superior sport. It’s still stupid of course. I feel I’ve been unfair with my immediate dismissal of golf. I still don’t think it’s a sport. But there’s nothing wrong with something not being a sport. Love’s not a sport. Gardening’s not a sport. People seem to like those things. I just don’t get golf. It takes massive amounts of patience, time and money and has none of the advantages of rugby, like exercise, D4 girls hitting on you, and free tooth removal. I understand if you’re rich and don’t want to see anyone poor, or if you are hung over, how going into a field and walking around very slowly hitting a ball every now and then sounds appealing, but it shouldn’t be in the Olympics. The Greeks invented a great many things; universities, mathematics, boy love and feta cheese. The Olympics were once the chance for man to take his rank beside God as one of the ‘Masters of the Universe’ but now it seems any aul sport can make you an Olympian. Two things ruined the Olympics for me; Lycra body suits and table tennis. There’s nothing epic about some chap in a skin tight suit with a number on the front and a Spar logo on the back. If I wanted to watch advertisements going really fast I’d put on Formula 1. I don’t think I even need to insult table tennis. You can do that at home. One thing that is important to note is that the first time golf will be played will be the 2016 Olympics in Rio. I can’t imagine there are many golf courses there. Is it just me or are we getting mixed messages here. Weren’t we supposed to stop deforestation in Brazil? Or was that just for people who wanted to farm their animals on the land? I guess if it’s being used for a noble sport like golf we can make room.

Golf is not a sport. It is an activity. Every Tuesday evening I walk by the rugby pitch on my way to Goldsmith Hall. I get great pleasure from watching twenty-odd people with looks of pain on their faces run into each other over and over again. I find it more amusing if it’s raining. I cherish the fact that somewhere in the past, for some unknown reason, somebody decided this game would be played with a misshapen ball, the trajectory of which is based largely on chance. Rugby is like the craps of field sports. A rugby ‘ball’ bounced off flat ground is much like a bouncy ball thrown onto the cobbles in Front Square. It’ll behave in unpredictable fashion, but if you’re chasing it, predictably, you’ll look like a blind man in an echo chamber. Well done, the guy who introduced the arbitrary rule about the stupid ball. Not only do people still chase your retarded ball around, they’ve convinced themselves it’s a perfectly normal thing to do. Maybe I’m missing out on the ‘buzz’ of it or something, but as a general guideline for my life, I try to avoid having to get muddy, wet and bruised. Particularly in the company of massive fuckers who’s main interest seems to be taking this stupidly shaped MacGuffin from me and running in the opposite direction. It just seems bizarre that people care about an abstract set of rules that prevent you from doing simple things that physics allows, like throwing a ball forwards, or continuing to run despite someone else making a whistling sound. Sport is just awkward like that. It takes life, which is simple enough (unless you look at it at an atomic level, when it gets complicated as hell) and adds debilitating rules and impedances, such as the offside rule or whatever it is that make tennis players grunt so much. It could be I’m just foreign to the whole idea. My school didn’t have a sport the way some schools have rugby or soccer. There were a couple of stabbings, but that’s not a sport. It’s more of an activity.

Commanding performance from Trinity Fencing Club at Intermediates T So I think it can be said that being part bloke is an unfair advantage in sport, but also an unfair disadvantage in life overall. It was also completely unsound of her parents to name Caster after a procedure which removes the balls

L.A. Dodgers will be a force to be reckoned with in the postseason and the reigning World Champion Phillies are well placed to make a run at being the first team to retain the title in a decade. It’s a close call but a finally in form Alex Rodriguez could swing things in New York’s favour come November 4th. Finally we’ve reached our destination, a champion has been decided and our river has entered the sea. The cycle begins again. It’s hard to predict who will be victorious especially for those in the early stages of their seasons but here goes. Your 2009 champions: New York Yankees, Washington Capitals, Cleveland Cavaliers and New Orleans Saints. Note the names for next June, when all is said and done, I won’t be far wrong.

Vikings, Tom Brady has returned reasonably well from his injury and Eli Manning’s perennial contending New York Giants will take some stopping once again. Can the progress made by these teams to this point be maintained? Only time will tell. The biggest shock so far is the drastic loss in form of the Tennessee Titans who went 13-3 last season but have begun this year a horrid 0-4. The failure to replace Albert Haynesworth is apparent and one wonders what might have been had they put forward the extra cash to keep him. The last stage involves Major League Baseball. All the work has been done and our river is in its concluding stretch. Energy levels are low and the finish is in sight. Only a few questions remain. Who will reign supreme when the trophies are awarded? What we do know is the Yankees have delivered after last year’s failure and this year’s $500m spending spree, the the NHL and the NBA, it is this stage which applies. Teams are undergoing frantic preseason training, trades are being constantly made and the players are fresh for the challenge that lies ahead. Every squad is near full strength and optimistic that this will be their year. Will Lebron James deliver a championship with Shaquille O’Neal supporting him? Will Alexander Ovechkin emulate his great rival Sidney Crosby by adding a Stanley Cup to his two MVP’s? It is these unknowns and the blind hope of success that make this stage so exciting. Now we’ve reached the Mature Stage- the NFL. A lot of energy has been expended and the path to the end is clearer but still uncertain. Some questions have already been answered at this stage of the season such as who will contend and who is already out of the running. Brett Favre has confounded critics once again with his stellar play for the ctober is an important month in the Northern Hemisphere. It harbours the transition from autumn to winter. It’s generally perceived as being cold. In Denver this weekend it will be -1°C and with wind-chill taken into account -10°C. It will not be cold in Coors Field though-anything but at a baseball play-off game, for October is the only month where all four major sports run concurrently. It is a magical time to be a fan, for some a journey is just beginning and for others it’s drawing to a nervous close. Consider this analogy to explain how it feels to observe sports in this, the most exciting time of the year. Think of a river. It has three stages: Infant, Mature and Old. All four sports correspond to a stage in this cycle. In the Infant stage the river has a lot of power and is just beginning its adventure, it is not yet clear where its destination will be.
