We were protected in a way; the University Games were organized under the auspices of UASCR, where Nicusor, the dictator?s son, played an important role. I know that Pantelimon Gavanescu, a secretary of the Communist Youth Organization, came to our newspaper and told us : I am reading this and I can?t help laughing alone. I did not know who he was and I asked ? why alone??

Together with Divertis, whom I had met during a folklore festival, I wrote many things, for instance ? the Spleen of Toma Alimos?, a scientific paper.  People laughed a lot. The punch lines were negotiated. The circulation was limited, mostly among the students; I think humor was considered a kind of outlet, or maybe the system had a few more intelligent people.

Together with Divertis we organized the Sea Festivities and The Snow Festivities, where we said interesting things as well. We did not start these festivities by singing the national anthem, there were not any final telegrams; compared to the official shows of the time, ours were like an oasis.  Such fun we made! Neptune was the patron of the Sea Festivities, but we brought him at the Snow festivities, too.  The stories about Neptune?s visit to different countries were a direct allusion to Ceausescu. We satirized the way the Chinese wait waving flowers, sneakers, toilet paper, everything we bought from China. We said all this right on the beach.

We devised a show? Good morning, sun!? (it was a joke, too)- a live broadcast of the sunrise- during the same Sea Festivities; we arranged a kind of setting to remind of an official meeting; we even brought a presidium table, covered with a red cloth. There were very few people on the beach, those who had not slept; we played though. We talked like in a meeting. ?Now the meteorologist has the floor, then we give the floor to the astronomer?. We said so many aberrations, at 4 or 5 of clock in the morning. We wrote various sketches. The shows were quite exclusive. Some of them were forbidden. The texts were given in advance, but in many cases you did not notice the subversive text. I give an example from ? Grigore Preoteasa.? Somebody says the electricity is cut off. Somebody answers ? it can be something wrong with the board? looking towards the picture of Ceausescu.
