The women who counsel at the Brisbane Rape Crisis I Centre and the Women's Refuge thought it obscure too, •x-: 'm\ until their counselling services revealed the presence of a number of women suffering traumas related to child hood incestuous experiences. The counsellors discussed the matter with the Depart ment of Children's Services and found a deep concern there with an apparent increase in sexual abuse within families. It became clear thai the public had to be shown that incest-rape was a very real problem in the community; and the 1980 Women's House telephone survey of incest was the result. Aided by widespread media publicity, Women's House called for victims of incest or their friends to phone the Centre for three days in July 1980. Respon dents were asked a series of questions, within the con straints of a supportive counselling interview. Altogether 188 people contacted the Centre, com prising 108 'victims' of incest, five 'assailants', and 75 friends or relatives of incest victims. The results make startling reading. Victims were alleging intercourse occurring when they were as young as one year old, or occurring over spans of 16 years or more. Twenty four of the callers said they had been raped or molested by more than one relative, and in fourteen separate cases the sexual relationship was con tinuing at the time of calling. The results overwhelmingly point to incest as a male- assailant, fcmate-child-victime phenomena. Over 95 per cent of assailants were male and a similar percentage of victims were female. Half of the victims v/ere under eleven years of age when incest first occurred. Only nine per cent of the incestuous relationships were mutually desired. The images of warm and tender parent-child incest suggested in films such as Bertolucci's m 'La Luna' were not supported by this survey. Nor was there evidence of loving brother-sister relationships. But at this point the constraints of the Women's House survey must be considered. The plea was to victims of incest, from the assumption that incest is an exploitative relationship. And presumably it is. But this would be unfortunate if a few couples in loving incest uous relationships were to feel stigmatised by this f adverse publicity given to incest as a whole. Such couples (if they exist), may have avoided the survey and its negative Implications.

The mother left after two years because "she couldn't take the competition" (caller's words). The older girl still resides with him and acts as house keeper as well as meeting his sexual needs.

THE ROARING OAVS OF HENRY LAWSON: Mike ind Michelle Jackson (Larrikin) One of the most important periods- in Australian history was the 1890's. It was this period which saw the culmination of Australian nationalism in the 1901 Federation. One of the dominant figures in this period was Henry Lawson. On this album the writings of Lawson are featured along with the music of multi-instrumentalists, Mike and Michelle Jackson. There is also a number of the Jacksons' own tunes, some ertormed and arranged traditionally, while others are backed Ey electric instruments and drum kit. The latter produce a strange combination of sounds - in one at of tunes a hammered dulcimer plays melody, while the drums blaze away very much In the foreground.

What can we make of this barbarous and homocidal version of Space Invaders in the South Atlantic? It is horrible enough that highly sophisticated and unbeliev ably expensive machinery is being used for the sole purpose of exterminating as many humans as possible; that the media can package this slaughter as light enter tainment, as prolefeed to boost circulation, should make us think. . . , ^ . , , The governments of BriUin and Argentina, shaky, unstable and unpopular before the killing started, are both riding waves of popular enthusiasm that would have been unthinkable a short time ago. George Orwell was right: War is Peace. IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH. FREEDOM IS SLAVERY. The Importance of Being Killed War and the preparation for it occupy the central place of modern economies. Each year the world spends $410 thousand million on armaments; that's nearly one million dollars each minute. Making and designing the weapons of war occupies over 400,000 scientists and engineers, over half the world's numbers. Other figures give a clearer perspective of the lunacy of this waste of the world's resources: the World Bank estimates that the annual cost of making 'real impact' on the developmental crisis is $15 thousand million. The Food and Agricultural Organisation of the U.N. estimates that the annual cost for land and water for poor nations to meet food production targets is S4.5 thousand million. To maintain essential imports poor nations need $5.5 thousand million, according to the World Bank. Environmental expert, Barbara Ward estimates that the cost for solving the crisis of cities and home settlements is $25 thousand million. All this would only cost what the world spends on arms every five weeks. So why does it happen? Why are the resources of the world squandered on destructions?"There are a number of viewpoints. The Economic Argument The economic argument concentrates on the role of the Military Industrial Complex. Because so much money is spent on armaments, the companies that supply them arc amongst the richest and most powerful in the world. It is often argued that the U.S. Government is con trolled by the Military-Industrial Complex (compris ing the Pentagon and the Arms makers. There is a fair overlap.of personel between these two; retired generals and admirals etc., find employment mainly with the armament firms.) A similar grouping is influ ential in the Soviet Union. The influence of the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex is pervasive. General Alexander Haig, ex-Secretary of State, was prior to this President of United Technologies whose Pratt & Whitney Aircraft group make jet engines. Another of Reagan's top advisors, General Bernard Schriever is a director of Control Data Corporation and Emerson Electric, both major defence contracts. The close fabric of shared interests among America's business and defence elites led corporate political action committees to donate millions of dollars to Reagan's political campaign, managing in quite legal ways to circumvent federal spending limitations enabling Reagan to outspend the Democratic Party 10 to 1. Colt Industries, General Dynamics, Gruman, Hughes, Aircraft, Litton, Lockhead, Northrop, United Tech nologies were among the leading defence firms that contributed to Reagan's campaign. For these corporations, this was money well spent. After he was elected Reagan announced he was going to spend $1.5 million million on defence over the next 5 years. Funding appropriate politicians is only one of the tactics of the Military-Industrial Complex. They also run probably the world's most effective lobby group, the American Security Council, headed by another retired General, Daniel O'Graham, Viewers of last year's ABC documentary GOODBYE GUTENBERG were amazed by the A.S.C.'s letter writ ing machine. Stored on computer tape are the names, addresses and some personal details of the 'leaders of opinion' in towns and cities right across the United States. The computer can write thousands of 'person al' letters each hour. Each letter, supposedly from a group of concerr\ed generals and admirals, has a stand- Semper-12 Nationalism With the rise of nation states, localism and regional ism were replaced by nationalism. The nation state had to convince people to be loyal to It. So when the system of universal, compulsory education was introduced one of Its aims was to unify a people by belittling their economic, social, cultural, and religious differences by emphasising their national language and inculcating a common national patriotism. Nationalism is a kind of vulgarised religion. It offers us escape from our own powerlessness and worthless- ness, not through identification with a god, but through identification with the nation-state; it has its own sacred rituals and texts and missionary zeal. For Australians, nationalism and militarism have been united through the myth of Anzac Day. In a recent 'Social Alternatives', Drew Hutton writes: "The Anzac legend taps into something quite fundamental in the human condition. Its appeal is to such qualities as hero- Ism, sacrifice, manliness, mateship, leadership and obedi ence and it nestles into Australia's historical conscious George Orwell, ness in a way that draws sustenance from both radical and conservative elements of the cultural heritage and WAR IS PEACE '1984'. which permeates all social classes.

But it was also clear tiiat an all round increase in wealth threatened the destruction - Indeed, In some sense was the destruction - of a hierarch ical society. . . The problem was how to keep tlie wheels of industry turning without increasing the real wealth of the world. Goods must be produced, but they must not be distributed. And In practice the only way of achieving this was continuous warfare. The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour. War is a way of shattering to pieces, or pouring Into the stratosphere, or sink ing in the depths of the sea, materials which might otherwise be used to make the masses too com fortable, and hence, in the long run, too intelli gent. Even when weapons of war are not destroy ed, their manufacture is still a convenient way of expanding labour power without producing any tiling that can be consumed , . . And at the same time the consciousness of being at war and therefore in danger, makes the handing-over of all power to a small caste seem the natural, un avoidable condition of survival. War, it can be seen, not only accomplishes the necessary destruction, but accomplishes it In a psychologically acceptable manner. In prin ciple It would be quite simple to waste the sur plus labour of the world by building temples and pyramids, by digging holes and filling them up again, or even producing vast quantities of goods and setting fire to them. But this would provide only the economic and not the emotional basis for a hierarchical society.

KAY NICOL reports on the high-level scene of sport on this campus. '>^:m-^- 1^: vi' ^S'^'W^?:^ '-WL The top sportspeople are the ones that many other students don't see in (popular) places on campus a lot. They are the ones who are running round the ovals in the twilight when other students are sitting in traffic jams or at the pub. They are the ones who are out of bed before dawn, churning up lengths of the pool or doing push-ups while the rest of us sleep. Intense training sessions, exhaustion and a strong committment to their sport is a way of life. A univer sity course has to fit in somewhere and while most strive for a healthy balance, study scarifices are often made. LARRY SENGSTOCK Larry is the type of person who is used to watching out for his head. He would have bumped it in the Sejnper doorway if he hadn't been practised at ducking. But being 6*6" and an Olympian basketballer, he Is used to being agile — and quite probably used to hearing comments about his height. He's not the tallest on the Australian team; there is someome who is 6'10". And for the tit-bit enthusiasts, the tallest opponent he's ever played was a 7'4", 23 stone, "not-an-ounce-of-fat- on-him" Russian. Born and educated in Maryborough, Larry started playing when he was eight. He first played for Australia in 1977 when only 17 years old and was the youngest on the team. Larry is currently going a Diploma of Education at university with the intention of becoming a Physical Education teacher. He has already got a Science degree from Footscray Institute of Technology in Melbourne. He was there for four years for training purposes as Melbourne is the basketball capital of Australia. His training programme this year hasn't been quite so intensive, but it still takes a fair hunk of Larry's time. He tries to give an equal amount of time to both sport and study although there's more work in a Dip. Ed. than he expected. "Especially in basketball, you usually can't make a living out of it and so you have to have a profession. I try not to let that side wane. But I really prefer basketball so much more. It's easy," he chuckled. Semper~22 A three month overseas trip including the World KATY HARDIS Student Games in Rumania and the World Cup in Rome, dictated that she do the extra year part time.
