The Socialist Ghost

The Socialist Ghost

Sir,

A sceptre is haunting Victoria University — the sceptre of Simenauer. It wanders ghost like through the corridors of power in a self created limbo of the Left preaching socialism in one university, and hearing only harrow ing echoes of "Out Now" "Vote Labour."

The history of all hitherto existing societies is the history of class struggles, Rob. So now all we have to do is find the class to which you belong and the faction which represents your class. Being an actor, with nothing to sell but the labour of your own hands and tonsils, being forced to work in another man's theatre for wages we can safely categorise you as a proletarian, i.e. a member of the working class. Now, who on campus is fighting for the liberation of the working class?

Your guess is as good as mine.

Don Franks.
