IVyfR. O'NEILL and Mr. WERTHEIM, speaking in '^^ Orientation Week, covered the problems facing Australian Universities and this University in particular. These statements were reported in the local papers and sub.scquently in (he "Australian". The following day Professor Webb of Biochemistry and President of the Staff Association was reported as saying that this was not the general attitude of the staff and in fact Wertheim and O'Neill's statements were inaccurate. The press coverage of Mr. O'Neill and Mr. Wertheim's talk and the subsequent comments by Professor Webb were in-exact and reflect the standard of journalism in Queens­ land. The press picked up the sensational aspects of the comments, especially Mr. O'Neill's. The speakers' emphasis had been on the problems of society as well as the problems of the University. Professor Webb's reaction was sparked by the press versions of these comments (the accurate versions are reprinted in this edition.) Charges arc made in these speeches which many people, students and staff, agree with. These are serious charges and should be debated openly. Tt is disturbing to find them ignored, and doubtful light cast on their protagonists.

THE LITERATE TROUBADOURS

In mid-1965, Simon and Garfimkel recorded their first album, "Wednesday Morning, 3 a.m." Destined to temporary obscurity, the record featured four original compositions by a 21-year-oId song^^ritcr named Paul Simon, one of them being an impressive work called "The Sounds of Silence". Eighteen months passed and the duo and song remained virtually unktiotvn until drums and electric guitars were dubbed behind a single release of the original recording, resulting in rapid acceptance and fame for Simon and his partner. University graduate Art Garfunkel. Last October, dieir third and latest album, form comprised of PARSLEY, SAGE, ROSEMARY AND THYME four letters, came onto die American market. Two weeks and his heart is laughing, screaming, pounding later, Time magazine nominated Simon and the foam across the tracks around him, Garfunkel as the most literate pair among the channeled by die exit light new wave of popular-folk troubadors.
