Their mission was to find Alfred Jarry, o •author of the Song of Disembraining with its grisly theme of leucotomy. o Nobody-neither cast nor stagehands-seemed willing or able to assist them In locating Alfred, and a cry of "run for your life, Alf, the cops are onto you" only Intensified their be lief that the fugitive was near. Frustrated, they lighted on Alble, producer of the show. A p dialogue followed, in which one of the great moments in the history of the theatre fell flat upon rows of recently vacated seats. vn ;B)CCEST COP: (pointing to his programme) *'Cet me Alfred Jarry". ALBIE: "If you read your programme you'd see he died in 1908". BIGGEST COP: (Incredulously) "Oh did he now". Not deterred by being 55 years too late to apprehend the miscreant, AVALON the police let it be known that they would be back on the following night with warrants for Bruce Williams for singing the song, and Albie for producing the show. And with that, they proceeded in a southerly direction off into the 17th Apzil- night. 2nd May The revue consisted of short sketches by Seckett, Prevert, lonesco, Pinter and Albee to mention some. A five minute film had been made of a scenaria by Prevert- entitled "It Droppeth as the Gentle Rain", and was scheduled for screening. But Associated Features, who developed the film, feared that obscenity was on their hands and notified the guard ians of Law, Order, Truth, Beauty, Justice and Mercy.

Until that date, leaders of the African people had been attempting a rational approach, by word and pen, to the problem of pressuring the white elector ate into insisting that its government instigate con cessions towards integration. This type of approach had failed; the next step was the introduction of Civil disobedience, the policy of "non-violent non- co-operation" which Ghandi and his people had used MSSACSE successfully in India against the British in the early years of this century. The form which Passive Resistance took in South Africa AT at this time was refusal to comply with the "pass jaws", severe measures restricting the free movement of Africans in the Repub lic. The leader of the Pan-African Congress, Robert Sobukwe, submitted himself to arrest on March 21st, 1960 for a violation of the laws, and called upon members of the Congress to follow his example: to leave their passes at home and to surrender SHARPVILLE themselves for arrest at police stations. sssaastasd THE GOVERNMENTS answer to passive re sistance was so swift and vicious that it surprised even the white supremecists. Forty seconds of machine-gun fire on that same afternoon killed sixty-seven and wounded 186 Africans at the police station in Sharpville. The campaign was thus very effectively crushed; and Verwoerd's government, though temporarily discredited in the eyes of its electors, recovered swiftly and consolidated its posi tion to one of tremendous strength. This was Sharpville; this was an incident In the practice of apartheid which will never be allowed to become dim In the memories of those who claim to belong to a "free world". Next Saturday Is the fourth anniversary of Sharpville, and it is appropriate on this occasion to reconsider, from the point of view of a university community, the principles involved in apartheid and its practise in South Africa today. For it is essential that those who are those outside the university to be expected by an enlightened and informed section of the population should make clear in their own minds the Issues involved in the political progranime which gave birth to the Sharpville incident. In this connection, it is not inappropriate to recollect that in November of last year, -the students of this University were re quested by the National Council of Australian University Stu dents to conduct in Queensland a similar antl-apartheid campaign to those already being conducted at that time in the Southern States. The Council of the University of Queensland Union, as a constituent member of NUAUS, refused to proceed with the organization of the campaign, on the grounds that this was too "political" a matter, and that there was no justification for be lieving that Queensland students were In fact opposed to apartheid or even fully aware of Its nature. It will be necessary, therefore, for anti-apartheid action to ANNIVERSARY arise spontaneously from the students themselves, students who should be aware of wider responsibilities than the passing of ex aminations, and should know that it is their constitutional func tion to require their Union to express and act on their opinions in all matters about which strong opinions are held, just as it is 21st March, 1960 a constitutional right in this country of a Students' Union to ex press at large, as a body of student representatives, the opinions and feelings of the students it represents. (And if our Union con tinues to feel itself hampered from serving such a purpose, it may list March, 1964 be necessary for its structure to be revitalized). On the anniversary of Sharpville, the students of the Queensland University should take the opportunity to examine the soundness of their approach to social and political questions and to their role as an opinion group in a sometimes—heedless community. The lesson of Sharpville Is important and basic; but in the tour years since the massacre, Verwoerd's government has suf- tered no serious reverse cither in South Africa or at the hands ot the outside world.
