The crisis which has been looming within FELIX over thej
past term, was resolved, to some degree, at an emergency'
meeting of the Publications Board on Monday night, 13th.

Dear S i r , — With reference to Mr

a c c u s a t i o n s about Ind ia Soc ie t y
are comp le te l y b a s e l e s s . H e
has o n l y managed to d i s p l a y
h i s i gnorance .
He a c c u s e s the Soc ie t y for
pu t t i ng up p o s t e r s , 'here and
there; but they are few and far
between'. H e doesn ' t know that
th is is e x a c t l y what un ion ru les
requi re us to do. Furthermore
th is is an es tab l i shmen t for
very i n te l l i gen t peop le , so I
b e l i e v e read ing one pos ter w i th
su f f i cen t in format ion shou ld
w e l l su f f i ce h i s requi rements . I
cannot see why Mr Guha wants
to s e e , s a y , 16 s i m i l a r pos te rs
s tuck on a w a l l s a y i n g the
same th ing . In a b i g p lace l i k e
I C no l e s s than 50 posters
were put up for Ind ia S o c ' s
f i lm show and the f r e s h e r s '
par ty .
F o r the same func t ion ,
i n d i v i d u a l le t te rs were sent
out by our secra t ry to a l l the
members — Mr Guha i s one . If
121 other members r e c e i v e d i t ,
I f a i l to see how Mr Guha was
m i s s e d on three o c c a s i o n s .
H e a l s o says 'after all it
costs nothing' (to send put
i n d i v i d u a l le t ters to c l u b
members) . T h i s is a b s o l u t e l y
r i d i c u l o u s . . We have spent about
£35.00 a lone on p u b l i c i t y so
far , most of it on paper. In
add i t i on a lot o f pe rsona l
effort goes- in to mak ing these
pos te rs and a d d r e s s i n g to A L L
M E M B E R S .
In my 8 years work w i t h
va r ious s o c i a l o rgan i sa t i ons ,
I 've come a c r o s s many peop le
l i ke Mr Guha who l i k e to s i t

appea led on var ious o c c a s i o n s
for a second p u b l i c i t y o f f i ce r .
If Mr Guha f e e l s he can do a
better job , I have one w a i t i n g
for h i m . I a l w a y s we lcome

Malicious attack on Mary A
Dear S i r , — T h e mot ion wh i ch
was to be proposed by P Ide a t
the l a s t U G M was a f lagrant
a t tack on the right of a l l I C U
members to take an a c t i v e part
in running thei r un ion .
I u m a m a z e d that the Un ion
E x e c u t i v e d i s t r i bu ted cop ies of
th is mot ion around the C o l l e g e ,
a p p a l l e d that Mary At tenborough
w a s — the sub jec t of the
mot ion — was not in fo rmed
beforehand that the motion had
been p roposed .
T h e i n c l u s i o n of th is mot ion ,
whether it is seen as a m a l i c i o u s
a t tack on one member of 1CU
or as a s i c k joke , is c l e a r l y not
conduc i ve to ser ious Un ion
debate .
It is not c o i n c i d e n t i a l that
the mot ion a t tacked a woman
student of I C ; and the mot ion 's
imp l i ca t i on is c l ea r : that
women are not expec ted to put
forward arguments as c l e a r l y
and fo rce fu l l y as Mary A t t e n
borough d o e s . ,
F rom th is P Ida has drawn
the c o n c l u s i o n that women who
do s tand up for their b e l i e f s ,
Chinese Society Dear S i r , — I wou ld l i ke to
draw the at tent ion of C h i n e s e
Soc ie t y members to the recent
unexpected c a n c e l l a t i o n of
Cambr idge tr ip p rev ious l y
schedu le d for I 1th D e c . It was
then c l a i m e d to be the conse
quence of 'poor r e s p o n s e ' from
the members.
L e t ' s face the f a c t s , there
were no p o s t e r s , and on ly a
few l ine wr i t ten down some
where in the corner of the
prev ious s o c i e t y c i r c u l a r ; that 's
a l l . Though we were of fered a
few names to c o n t a c t , these
peop le — who were supposed to
be respons ib le for s e l l i n g
t i c ke t s — d id not even know
they had been p i c k e d for the
job.
I wou ld a l s o l i ke to remind
you that wh i l s t other C h i n e s e
S o c i e t i e s in the U n i v e r s i t y
were z e a l o u s l y prepar ing for
L U C S C S (London U n i v e r s i t y

Another N U S conference is
wi th u s , and wi th their overdraft

at £91,000, it shou ld be a very
in teres t ing one.
The P G C h e e s e and Wine

was a l i t t le d i sappo in t i ng at
around 60 peop le , but those that
d id manage to res i s t the

Smoking Concer t seemed to
enjoy the e v e n i n g . I must thank
J a m i e for the good v i b e s , and
P a t and Andy for runn ing t he
bar . Sugges t ions for future
s o c i a l s wou ld be great ly
a p p r e c i a t e d . T w o departments
have a l ready taken advantage
of our of fers of f i nanc ia l a id
to promote events at depar t
mental l e v e l . C o u n c i l , in i t s :
benign generos i t y , gave £120 to
to M i n e s Un ion to promote P G
a c t i v i t i e s — any offers to spend
it for them shou ld be f lung in
the d i r ec t i on of the R S M U

sY o u w i l l a l l know by now
that fees for P G s are to r i s e
next year to £750 (£850 for

before last I helped to de l i ve r
around 1,400 let ters from th is

later ab le to see Mrs Wi l l i am s

but conceded very l i t t l e . I'd

w i l l a l l be prepared to put pen

par t i cu la r l y l i ke to hear from

The Pearson report on P G

Congra ts to R C S and commisera t ions to G u i l d s on the m a s c o t s

s t imulate a lo t of we lcome in te res t in the C C U s next term. A t long
las t though mascot ry has been returned to i t s proper s tate after some
v io le t moments th is term.
I t 's a p i ty that g u i l d s shou ld have to end on such a low note after
a super term, but they themse lves acknow ledge the ingenu i ty of the
masco t grab. T h e y , l i k e me, admire Mar t in Watson for h i s courage in
car ry ing out the p l a n — a lmost s i n g l e h a n d e d .
SFrom coverage in the na t iona l papers and our ef for ts on the back

Poor brewery supplies force Bar to switch to reliable ale source
Watneys take over Union Bar
South face climb
reduced to closing
-time stroll E a r l i e r th is week , news
reached us that a strong team
of Imper ia l c l imbe rs have f i na l l y
overcome one of the las t of the
great problems of the l o c a l i t y .
L a t e las t T u e s d a y even ing , a
sma l l ded ica ted band of
mounta ineers reduced th is
d i f f i cu l t route (the t raverse of
of the South F a c e o f B e i t
B u i l d i n g , eas twards from the
Un ion A rch ) to a mere c l o s i n g -
time s t r o l l .
One of the i r more prominent
members has k i nd l y provided the
fo l l ow ing d e t a i l s of the exped
i t i on :
"The climb began by scaling
the wrought iron gate and trans
ferring to the masonary of the
archway, from where we dropped
down to the narrow sill outside
the 'Guard Box'. Moving
cautious ly to our right we
stepped across to the Varitype
Ledge.
"The next stage was a
careful shuffle along the Printing
Room sill to the difficult Rose
Window, which has proved a
thorn in the side of previous
attempts. However, high spirits
within the team carried us
easily across to the smallest
ledge of the traverse, after
which comes the previously
'Impossible Corner'.
"This was turned after a
few close shaves when members
of the ' expedition lost their
footing. Using a hitherto untried
technique, our leader finally
gained the'relative safety of the
of the next eastward ledge.
"The team followed his
example and the final stage
past the Botany Entrance proved
a mere formality."
Our staf f exper t on c l i m b i n g mat ters, Ms V i r g i n i a Creeper , has r a i s e d grave doubts as to the new method used to c rack the " I m p o s s i b l e C o r n e r " . She suspec t s i l l i c i t use of a bar s t o o l .
Rumours have been circulating college during the past
week that, following a visit by the Watney's representative,
a different brewery will be supplying the Union Bar in the
New Year. At present it has not been possible to track down
either confirmation or a firm denial but certainly there has
been a strong reaction from some members of the Union
closely involved with bar activities.

SAMBotage R e c e n t l y , in a s tunn ing ly
swi f t a t tack , our P o l i t i c a l
cor respondant was s e r i o u s l y
wounded in a most s e n s i t i v e
a rea . A f te r recent exposure in
the popular p r e s s , the k i n g of the
L S O had suf fered con t i nua l
har rassment and had dec ided to
fade from the p u b l i c eye .
However th is t e r r o r i s t
ac t i on i s bound to produce-
some countermeasures from h i s
c l o s e a s s o c i a t e s w h i l e he is
i ncapac i t a ted .
Secur i ty F o r c e s do have one
lead in th is very strange af fa i r
and have i s s u e d the f o l l o w i n g
warn ing . A v o i d a l l s u s p i c i o u s
persons wear ing b londe w igs
and show ing a good set of
teeth. When confronted you are
a d v i s e d to remain sea ted and
not be con fused by the p i d g i n .
dA n y move to change to a
di f ferent brewery wou ld come a s
no surpr ise to those peop le
conversan t w i th recent f a i l u res
on the part of the present
s u p p l i e r s . Du r i ng the pas t few
weeks the draught lemonade tap
has been removed af ter S c h -
weppes proved ine f f i c i en t in
s u p p l y i n g s u f f i c i e n t
s t o c k s to keep pace w i th s a l e s .
T h e y are not a lone in f a i l i n g to
meet promised de l i ve r y d a t e s ,
S c o t t i s h and N e w c a s t l e B rewer
ies have a l s o c o n s i s t e n t l y f a i l e d
to produce the goods on t ime.
H a v i n g heard the rumour that
Watney-Mann were be ing c a l l e d
upon to supp ly u s , our co r res
pondent went out to gauge
reac t i on . N o one wou ld conf i rm
or deny the rumours but many
w e l l known regulars were qu i te
v o c a l about the matter. P a u l
K u r o w s k i , C h r i s Mor re l l and
A d r i a n Sudworth cou ld manage
l i t t l e more than a s tunned,
"What!", w h i l s t Steve Dear ing
of C i t y and G u i l d s was somewhat
more for thcoming: "It's ******
what!" N i c k B r a y s h a w was
not a v a i l a b l e to comment but
Mr John White seemed uncon
ce rned , paus ing on ly to comment
that "It doesn't make any
difference to me". The o f f i c i a l ( ? )
I C U l ine appears to come from
De r r i c k Evere t t (Bar Commi t tee
Cha i rman) , who wou ld on ly say
that the c h o i c e of beers "is up
to Brendan (Bar Manager)" and
he thought the changes were
"a malicious rumour".
sFur ther i n v e s t i g a t i o n s , i n
c l u d i n g staf f i n t e r v i ews , se rved
on ly to c la r i f y the rumours. It
wou ld appear the Watney 's are
be ing a s k e d to supp ly rea l a l e
(going under the trade name of
" F i n e d A l e " ) , but that s u p p l i e s
of present ex t ras , s u c h as c i d e r
and G u i n n e s s (draught and
oot t led) , shou ld remain un
af fec ted .
T h e bar manager, Mr B rendan
C l e m e n t s , a conf i rmed G u i n n e s s
dr inker , appeared unperturbed by
the whole a f fa i r . "Til work for
any one who pays me" he s a i d
i n answer to our repor ter 's
q u e s t i o n s . Pe rhap s Mr C lemen ts
i s unaware of the det r imenta l
e f fec t on trade that th i s change
cou ld have . Many people have
e x p r e s s e d support for the idea
of a boycot t of the bar i f these
measures come into force and
' S q u a d d i e ' P a t t e r s o n , Hon Sec
of R S M U , w a s ce r ta in l y not
a lone when he s a i d , " / ' / / go
and drink elsewhere."
gSo it wou ld seem that the
general c o n s e n s u s of op in ion
amongst s tudents i s that the
proposed change to Watneys w i l l
do noth ing but harm to the
c o n v i v i a l i t y of the Un ion B a r .
"No beer is better than
Watneys!" cou ld w e l l be a
bat t le c ry heard in the near
future. Pe rhaps c o l l e g e ought
to reth ink the whole matter i n
v iew of the fact that the Un ion
B a r supports the re fec to r ies to
a great extent and an o rgan i sed
boycot t of the bar c o u l d h a v e
se r ious consequences to the
f i n a n c i a l s t a b i l i t y of th is s ide
of c o l l e g e a f f a i r s .

here y o u h a v e a drop-out supp lement .
F E L I X has been readable for most o f

to produce a student newshee t .

and in te res t i ng mater ia l to one page per

very l i t t l e news what do you expec t . L e t
us hope that next term th is need not be a

have been cu t , ed i t ed , c a l l i t what you

paper for I ask myse l f (we l l you weren ' t
go ing to ask me were you? N o ! qu i t e ) .
Laugh te r i s the bes t med i c i ne , e s p e c i a l l y
i f i t i s at someone e l s e , so why not put
it in pr int and cheer up the whole c o l l e g e
(except for a minor i ty who don ' t know
how to laugh , can ' t read , or f ind them
s e l v e s ment ioned somewhere in t h i s

a c t i v i t i e s .
B a s i c a l l y we pub l i shed a l l the a r t i c l e s
we rece i ve d by the copy date p lus a

wrote it a l l and commit ted the res t to

A p o l o g i e s to Anne-Mar ie for not pub

A s you c a n see wi th such important

IC Dramsoc: " T h e F l i e s " by J e a n - P a u l
Sartre (directed by Sal lyann Kronbergs).
The c h o i c e of th is play for Dramsoc to
perform is s u s p e c t , for 'The Flies' i s
nothing l ess than a v e h i c l e for the au tho r ' s
e x i s t e n t i a l i s t theor ies wh i ch tend to throw
argument and reason to the four w inds i n

con t r i ved e t h i c s . P resen t i ng one ' s own
ideas through the medium of a play i s , of
c o u r s e , per fect ly leg i t imate , but where a s
at an open debate on the sub jec t one c a n
h e c k l e and oppose to o n e ' s hear t ' s con ten t ,
a play requ i res po i i te s i l e n c e to be obse rved .
The f a c i l e plot is that young O r e s t e s
has returned home after a f i f teen year
a b s e n o e ; de fy ing re l ig ion and mora l i ty
— as represented by Z e u s , — he p roceeds
to a s s a s s i n a t e the usurp ing monarch ( h i s
fa ther ' s murder) and h i s consor t ing mother;
a l l wi thout f ee l i ng a t race of remorse.
Incred ib le? Jus t a b i t . Written in 1943
when F r a n c e was overrun by Germany, i t
fash ionab ly embodied the par t isan s p i r i t
of F r e n c h r e s i s t a n c e and it w a s i nev i t ab l y
supp ressed by the o c c u p y i n g f o r ces .
yH i s t o r i c a l l y inaccura te , the play i s
s t r a t e g i c a l l y made uncompl ica ted s o that the
e x i s t e n t i a l i s m of O r e s t e s , a s t ra ight forward
e t h i c s r e v i s i o n i s t , can s h i n e br ight ly

him for managing s o w e l l . H i s v o i c e c a r r i e d ,
but p h y s i c a l l y he appeared too s t i f f and too
s t a t i c . In the s c e n e where he has just
k i l l e d A e g i s t h e n s and a s k s E l e c t r a whe re
h is mother 's room is — s o that he c a n k i l l
her as w e l l — he sounded l i ke someone out
for a dr ink , a s k i n g where the next pub w a s .
A s O r e s t e s ' tutor, Manu Dugga l seemed
aga in unconv inc ing as our an t i -he ro ' s
ag ing mentor. E r i c S t o v e l l , as Z e u s , gave
Dramsoc has talent &
direction - all it needs
is the right play a fo rce fu l in terpretat ion of the p l a y ' s ch i e f
mora l i s t who e n d s up outwi t ted by c l e v e r l y
presented e x i s t e n t i a l i s t t a c t i c s . T h i s man 's
ta lent is beyond doubt: h i s l i nes de l i ve red
in va r i ous bo ld c a d e n c e s emphas i sed h i s
part a s k ing of the gods and echoed h i s
master fu l p resence on s tage .
sE l e c t r a , O res tes s i s t e r , was p layed by
IF newcomer J u l i a N e a l e . She w a s a
p leasure to watch and brought some badly
needed l i fe to the p lay . Her cos tume in A c t
I was h igh ly becoming (not to ment ion her
cos tume i n A c t s II and III!), s o much s o
that at one point I a lmost want to c l i m b in
there w i th her . Her va r ied de l i ve r y , e x p r e s
s i o n s and reac t ions make her a must f o r
future p roduc t ions .
A s C l y t e m n e s t r a , Sarah James seemed
a l i t t le s t ra ined at t imes . Dur ing her f i r s t
meet ing w i t h O r e s t e s , whom she d id not
recogn i se as her s o n , the irony of her
q u e s t i o n s about h i s mother w a s not s e i z e d
at a l l . A n d when mother and daughter
(C ly temnes t ra and> E l e c t r a ) argued in A c t I,
I fe l t no t e n s i o n , no anx ie t y . T h i s was n o
generat ion-gap ac r imony ; it was a lmos t a
po l i te bunf ight .
bPeter E d had a very commanding p resence
a s the usurper K i n g A e g i s t h e u s . On the
who le an e x c e l l e n t performance from h im
apart from one or two f lu f fs of l i n e s . H e " d i e d " ex t remely competen t l y . S p e c i a l ment ion must be made of Robert B u c k , who at f i rs t p layed an i d io t and later p layed 2nd s o l d i e r . F rank l y I th ink h i s c h a r a c t e r i s a t i o n s were abso lu te l y superb v i gne t t es . H is s tance and an imat ion brought v igour and v i t a l i t y to an often grey cont inuum of monotone.
T h e scenery w a s genera l l y of a very h igh
s tanda rd . I fel t that the s tage in A c t I wou ld
have benef i t ted from some s teps and / o r
a bench because in a l l on ly two charac te rs
ac tua l l y sa t down dur ing the who le p l a y .
T h e co lumns on the mountain terrace looked
superb — <a p i ty that they swayed when
peop le ascended the s teps between them.
T h e cos tumes were , as u s u a l , f i rs t c l a s s .
(I'm tempted to say more about E l e c t r a ' s ,
but I'd only be branded a lecher . )
oOnce aga in then, the c h o i c e of p lay
must come under f i re a n d , i nev i t ab l y , i t s
d i rec to r , S a l l y a n n Kronbergs . It s tands a s
test imony to the d i rec t i on that not one

h i p s , put a palm to h i s head but i ns tead
la rge ly s tood upright w i th h is arms dang l i ng

of it a l l i s ' t h a t w i th the l i k e s of s t o v e l l ,
N e a l e , E d ; B u c k and o thers , the raw
talent js there. It just needs the r ight p l a y .

The task of the c r i t i c is a l w a y s two- fo ld .
F i r s t l y he has a duty to inform h i s readers ;
th is must a l w a y s be h is prime func t ion
s i n c e he is an employee of the newspaper
and not of the performers. Secondly^ if the
performers are amongst h i s readers , then
he may try to g ive them he lp fu l c r i t i c i s m .
The even ts that a c r i t i c is asked to report
on a l s o fa l l into two ca tego r i es : those
wh i ch occur only once , and those w h i c h
are repeated and w h i c h , of c o u r s e , the
readers w i l l have a chance to s e e . In the
latter c a s e the c r i t i c shou ld fash ion h i s
rev iew in such a way that the reader may
make an informed d e c i s i o n .
L a s t F r i d a y ' s concer t i s a par t i cu la r l y
t r i cky c a s e s i n c e I am not in a pos i t i on to
a d v i s e readers to go to the concer t ; ne i ther
a n I we l l -enough qua l i f i e d to prov ide any
cons t ruc t i ve c r i t i c i s m of the performance.
By i ts very nature the C h o i r .absorbs a l l
the m u s i c a l talent in the C o l l e g e , leav ing a
humble admirer who j.ust l i kes to hear a
good sound . To those of you who feel l i k e
turn ing to the cross-coun t ry report at t h i s
point may I a d v i s e you to go to the nex t
concer t on 18th March and hear the C h o i r
you rse l f . They are e x c e l l e n t l y t ra ined by
E r i c Brown and make a sp lend id n o i s e . The
S p e c i a l Orches t ra and S o l o i s t s are a l s o ' a
great p leasure to l i s ten to.
The concer t opened, not wi th the choir ,
o rches t ra or s o l o i s t s , but wi th a number of
p i s to l sho ts to test the a c o u s t i c s of the
Emotional Kodaly livens up
Choir's acoustic battle h a l l , w i t h the aud ience a s gu inea p igs
p rov id ing the necessary a c o u s t i c a l su r f ace
for the exper iment . No doubt someth ing w i l l
now beg in to be done about the a p p a l l i n g
a c o u s t i c s of the Great H a l l , wh i ch m a k e s
you feel a s though you need to have your
ea rs s y r i n g e d .
Ba t t l i ng aga ins t the ha l l the cho i r had
c h o s e n a pretty do l l s e l e c t i o n of p i e c e s .
Some yea rs ago an Icon c r i t i c made t he
cho i r perform some l i ve l i e r m u s i c . L a s t
year they d id so but thrs y e a r ' s programme
seems to have taken them back to the o ld
d a y s . Tha t is not to say that du l l mus i c is
bad per s e , merely that too much du l l mus i c
is a bad t h i ng .
T h e programme began w i th a par t i cu la r l y
unmemorable p iece from H a y d n ' s The Sea
sons, appropr ia te ly Winter, wh i ch left me
yearn ing for a rous ing s p r i n g . The h igh l i gh t
of the even ing was K o d a l y ' s Psalmus
Hungaricus w i th a f ine tenor s o l o i s t in
A l a n Woodrow. T h e se t t i ng is of P s a l m 55,
w h i c h p rov ides admi rab le ma te r i a l , f rom.the
p s a l m i s t ' s despa i r under h is opp ress i on to
the joy in the thought of G o d ' s power to
s a v e h i m . A l l the emot ions were w e l l put
over by the cho i r .
The second hal f con ta ined what I suppose
wou ld have been desc r i bed a s R o s s i n i ' s
answer to the Verd i Requiem had it not been

Dear
I am w r i t i n g to you both as a c o n s t i t u e n t and as a
student, p r e s e n t l y s t u d y i n g f o r a degree at Imperial C o l l e g e .
I would l i k e to b r i n g to your a t t e n t i o n the s i t u a t i o n f aced by
many students i n view of the low main r a t e of grant and by the
i n j u s t i c e s of the present p a r e n t a l c o n t r i b u t i o n system.
The main r a t e of grant i n London i s at present £955 f o r Under-
-graduates and £1380 f o r Postgraduates. T h i s amount i s e q u i v a l e n t
to about £28 per week i n term time and i s supposed to cover a l l
expenses i n one of the most expensive areas of the country -
C e n t r a l London.
The s i t u a t i o n f o r students who do not r e c e i v e the f u l l p a r e n t a l
c o n t r i b u t i o n to make up t h e i r grant to the n o t i o n a l l e v e l i s
even worse. Many have to run up l a r g e o v e r d r a f t s d u r i n g t h e i r
time of study and hope to pay them o f f when they get a job at
the end of t h e i r e d u c a t i o n .
The number of students who do not r e c e i v e a f u l l grant f o r t h i s
reason has been estimated by the Department of Education and
Science at 73% of a l l students. T h i s f i g u r e i s based on a recent
survey of students at i n s t i t u t i a a s of Higher E d u c a t i o n throughout
B r i t a i n .
I would l i k e to ask you as my r e p r e s e n t a t i v e at Westminster to
press the Goverment, at t h i s time of the t r i e n n i a l review of
grants, to take ? ome a c t i o n which w i l l ease the f i n a n c i a l
burdens which are imposed on students by the present grant system.
Yours s i n c e r e l y ,
