m * m m ■Sy.ivfrii r r consultation and unwarranted interference with the universities’ autonomy. Negotiations are supposedly under way at government level to have this decision reviewed, but progress is slow and the Vice-Chancellor has been less than forthcoming in answer to questions on the subject. We suggest that at the next suitable committee meeting he be pressed to tell the University just what is being done about this abominable stupidity.
Our mention of the scrapping of the new Law School not surprisingly Two Auckland students won the World Debating Championship this year, surfaced at last week’s Senate meeting. The Dean of Law asked whether our and they were also successful in proposing Auckland as the site for the 1983 story was true and the Vice-Chancellor assured him solemnly that the School championships. They have since done a lot of work in organising the of Music had not yet been approved. For some reason the Dean took this championships, but the New Zealand Universities’ Debating Council has let evasive answer to mean that ‘the students are lofting a balloon without them down by not arranging sufficient sponsorship to bring the competitors foundation’. In all sincerity we would advise the Dean to keep his eye on that from around the world, and it looks as though we shall have to back out of the balloon, for he won't be seeing any Law School foundations. arrangement. As the Auckland University Centennial Foundation was set up to pay the costs of bringing speakers to New Zealand, and as the fund-raising committee is well on the way to doubling the foundation target of $250,000, perhaps they could find the $10,000 necessary for Auckland University to Also at last week’s Senate meeting the question was raised as to why the host these competitions in its Centenary Year ? University’s parking regulations are framed in such a way as to cause a disabled student who wears callipers to have to climb the hill from the Grafton Road car-park each day. The reason is apparently ‘to keep traffic off the main campus’, but no one pointed out that adjacent to a certain Some members of Senate have expressed concern that Darryl Carey has been superfluous bus-shelter in Symonds Street there is a convenient, centrally- nominated as a Senate representative on the Student Union Management located car-park which is currently reserved for elderly but mostly fit Committee, not least because no one else wants the job and he might be members of the University Council So much for lateral thinking! elected. Darryl is a student and a member of Senate, but the relevant regulations refer only to ‘a member of Senate elected by the Senate’ with no limitations as to status in the University. One might suggest that all members of Senate are equal, but are some somehow more equal than others ? Another first for the University of Canterbury! Hard on the heels of their 9% increase in hostel fees it has been anounced that they have been given permission to increase their Student Welfare Levy by $2, again on the grounds of ‘hardship’. Those who believe that Auckland University has WeU, the last issue of Campus News.

If we may be allowed a final indulgence: we have been very critical of the Vice-Chancellor this year, and we believe rightly so. For what it is worth we think he did an excellent job during his first ten years, and that he should have stuck to his undertaking to make way for a fresh mind at the end of that The Department of Labour recently decided to cease allowing overseas period. The University needs open discussion, enthusiastic and visible students to enter New Zealand Universities with credit for work done at leadership, and a recognition that matters academic are more important than overseas institutions. This decision raised a storm of objection, for as well as new buildings and tidy grounds.

A highlight of the rage-filled year is fast upcoming! INTERNATIONAL PIEING WEEK (so-declared by the New York Yippies several years ago after they had some particularly spectacular successes in scoring hits on such rabidly rightwing persons as Waterbuggers Liddy, E Howard Hunt, and anti-gay propagandist Anita Bryant) is happening from November 4 to 11 (put that week in your diaries folks!) and during this week, rather incredible and effective actions can result when odious persons or disliked dignitaries are hit with pies in the face. Even more effective results can be obtained when a particular pie is chef-made to suit the intended target! For instance, ex Black Panther-turned Christian ELDRIDGE s t u d e n t s e x t e n s i o n CLEAVER was recently pied with a sugar isti STOP chocolate pie - explained NY yippie Aron Kay c e n t r e who scored this target: ‘This pie was particularly appropriate because it had a layer > EN R O L of chocolate round the outside with sugar marshmallow-whipped cream on the inside, symbolising that Cleaver is Black on the ■SfS-S*- outside but white on the inside’.

Stunned disbelief was the reaction at the Wales TUC-organised ‘Right to Work’ Rally in Cardiff, when an anarchist strolled from the crowd and hurled a custard pie at their deity on stage - Tony Benn. It was almost worse than pieing the Pope at the Vatican. So great was the shock of the assembled Leftie hacks, that our comrade was able to deliver a short speech on the lines of ‘Fuck the right to work’ before being personhandled away by stewards. After this, and a brief finger- wagging from the law, he made a hasty exit from the scene of the outrage ... which was just as well because by the time the Lefties recovered consciousness, they were looking annoyed. After this brief highlight, the pathetic rally droned on, sending everyone back to sleep with its ‘No return to the '30s ...’ and ‘Most reactionary Tory government since...’ garbage.

The decision to channel the 3% cuts onto energy conservation incentives withdrawing loans and grants for home insulation and gas appliances, and removing business tax writeoffs for energy conservation investment - is a clear sign that the government

She is better known as a short story writer (a short story was published Between each section are other poems called ‘Silences', The Silences Between (Moeraki Conversations) - in the same Islands as Stead’s ‘SCORIA’, and she has won which are usually poems of separation. Then there are a few Keri Hulme several awards for her stories), but this book demonstrates songs, and in the middle of the book two very evocative (both Auckland University Press) she is also a talented poet.

Just as Ralph Hotere creates a powerfully Maori art from In a most informative interview in Tu Tangata by Auckland University Press are Bill Manhire, who teaches (August/September 1982) Keri explains the title of her book: in the English Department at Victoria University, and Keri contemporary materials and methods, Keri Hulme has put many of the ideas of Euro-American poetry to work in the ‘I regard time spent away from Moeraki and my family Hulme, a thirty-five year old Maori woman who lives at Maori tradition.

Chris Parr 4 You might have touched the sky you lost I watch the waves wage their long war You might have split that azure violin in two. (from 'Two Landscapes' p 15) This is a style developed by French and American surrealists, though Manhire displays some attachment to the British ‘gentility’ principle (his images are determinedly domestic and ‘safe’, rather than the elemental and macabre favoured by the French and some Americans). Numerous- lines in this book indicate likely influences. For instance, New York poets Frank O’Hara and Ted Berrigan might well begin a poem ‘Loosen up chum’ (‘Loosening Up Poem’). And WS Merwin or the French Surrealists might have written ‘Declining the Naked Horse’ or ‘A Song About The Moon’, which includes such lines as ‘The moon lives in its nest of clamps’. What has fooled Adcock, Johnson and co is that Manhire chooses slightly more obscure antecedents than you will find in standard English Modernism courses. But the whole issue of originality and imitation which Johnson raises is something of a red herring. Manhire naturally derives ideas and techniques from earlier poets, but so does any poet (or for that matter any artist). Derivation, imitation, borrowing (whichever you wish) can be extremely powerful if it takes an idea or technique from one language, culture, setting, and places it in another. When Pound brings Confucius to Europe the critics applaud, when Eliot applies metaphysical conceits to the twentieth century they marvel, when Bly uses Spanish surrealism in America they praise, when Baxter takes Hardy to the Otago coastline they clap their hands, but when a local poet uses any influence that someone else recognises, you won’t see the poet’s flesh for knives. And conversely, there is apparently high praise to be gained if s/he can keep any influences obscure. This attitude is not helpful to either poet or reader. Just as influences can vitalise and intensify a poet’s work, identifying those influences can let the reader know where the poet is coming from, what s/he is trying to do as an artist. So it is not whether the poet is innovative, or who s/he appears to imitate that matters, so much as what s/he does with the innovation or imitation. There is a difference between mimicry and art, which depends on whether the poet transcends his or her influences. To put it bluntly, then, does Bill Manhire create from this style of cute surrealism any good poems? The oblique nature of surrealism does not make that an easy question to answer. You could be forgiven for not knowing what Manhire is going on about most of the time. The references are so private and elusive, they often force you back to the words themselves, with their bright clever surprises. There is nothing clumsy or slow-footed in Manhire’s poetry. And certainly his voice is strong and clear • he knows what he is doing, I’m just not so sure anyone else will That is also something that concerns me about the slick surrealism popular in American poetry at present - there is a deft ethereal magic in the images which shimmers but doesn’t seem to connect with anything. Manhire’s poems are often like tricks of light on water - dazzling, mercurial, but fleeting. Just 'when you think you know where he’s going, he loses you again: Last Things The kids want to grow up and be on the phone and everything.
