The assailant probably entered
Southside through these doors.
Editorial comment (back page)
The rape of a female student in Southside is the most serious incident that I have had to report in FELIX.
I was on the scene moments after the
incident occurred and have full
knowledge of the incident. However, I
have not included many details of the
rape in this week's FELIX because I
believe that it would be wrong to do so.
The priority is to help the POLICE
apprehend the rapist before he is given
the chance to strike again.

Boat Club
Dear Colin
I would like to publicise Steve
Webb's (the captain of Boat Club)
comment to me as his justification
for challenging the quorum as the
motion censoring the recent action
of the Boat Club was about to be
voted upon.
His comment: " T h i s isn't a
representative meeting — she goes
and drags all the overseas students
in".
Firstly, the "she" refers to Mary
Attenborough, as if this issue was
her personal axe to grind. In fact,
the Anti-Apartheid Group at IC
numbers about thirty people,
which, I should think is a number
not far removed from the number
of active members of Boat Club,
and we are joining an international
campaign to break links with the
racist regime of South Africa.
Secondly, Steve seems to assume that the overseas students were forced to attend the meeting, that they cannot make up their minds for themselves and that their vote does not carry the same weight as that of the home student. For the first time that I can remember, we had a large contingent of overseas students at a UGM because they wanted to show how strong their feelings were about the issue being discussed — why else did they bother to attend the meeting? This is surely the type of response we are aiming at by holding UGMs.
Steve has so far argued that his way is the best way to alleviate the situation in South Africa and up until the uttering of those two phrases, even I thought he really believed that and I merely felt sorry. But now I realise that he just doesn't care — "Steve's alright, Jack."

Noise
Dear Sir
Sunday 18 May, 02:10am As I pen this letter three hours after retiring to bed, I am regaled by the sounds of boogie-woogie and rock'n'roll music from the Union Building opposite my room. Who decided to allow parties till this hour in the morning during exams? I know, it's the weekend and we poor Beit residents must expect to put up with some disturbance (loud music, empty beer cans and kegs being kicked and rolled round the Quad, etc), but 2:00am? How many more such events are planed for our delight during the
exam period I wonder?

May I suggest that the Editor of FELIX issues guidelines on how to construct a logical argument, in order to avoid the nine letters which rambled on to no purpose on Iran in last week's issue. Yours sincerely Frank James

From the Anti -Anti -Apartheid Group/Masses at RSM(IC)
Following the IC Boat Club's successful and prestigious sporting tour of non-racist South Africa, we were pleased to learn that RSM (IC) has offered RSM(IC) Union equipment ot a non-racist white South African team visiting the UK this summer to row at Henley.
In view of the progressive international campaign tg promote sporting links with the enlightened non-racist sporting community of South Africa, we totally endorse the Boat Club's sporting offer.
We are considering holding a RSM(IC) non-racist U G M to discuss this further in PO Box 645 Joburg RSA during July; come and vote for the anti-anti-apartheid revolutionary government at IC.

Following the much publicised
intent of Mary Attenborough to

Dear Colin
IC and South Africa
As one who has been at various times described by Sennet as "a Conservative" and by Ms Attenborough as a "McCarthyite Fascist", I find it rather amusing to be described by the Captain of IC Boat Club as one of "Mary Atten-borough's cronies". IC's growing involvement with the South African regime is rather less amusing. It is a pity that the apartheid system should have as an advocate in your columns someone so ignorant of the facts (re South African education) or at least guilty of terminological inexactititude (eat your heart out, J Newland).
To return to the serious points: there are no mixed-race universities in the Republic. A very small
Iran
Dear Colin
The current interest in the
Iranian situation from members of
this college seems somewhat
misdirected in view of the plight of
minorities in Iran. The most violent
repression is occurring now in
Kurdistan. Kurdish cities have been
indiscriminately bombed in an
attempt to 'crush the rebels' as
Khomeini has ordered. He has no
qualms about using the military
might built up by his predecessor
for his own imperialistic adventures.
A problem closer to the hearts of
students is that of attacks on
universities. Many students were
murdered only recently in a number
of universities during violent
clashes. Now examinations are
being taken early as the universities
are to be closed down because of
disagreements between university
authorities and government. The
students of this college could make
an effective protest to the Iranian
government by passing a motion in
the UGM condemning the persec
ution of students and attacks on
the higher education system. A
telegram should then be sent to
President Bani-Sadr informing him
of the opinion of the Union.
Yours sincerely
Philip Nash
number of non-whites are admitted to courses in certain technical subjects at white universities, but are not allowed the social benefits of full membership of the university. These courses are not offered by the poorly-funded non-white colleges, which cannot of course afford rowing clubs.
It is ironic that Imperial College is offering collaboration with the South African nuclear industry, when a recently graduated Oxford PhD is now under house arrest for alleged spying on the installations of that industry. In the context of the SA-Israeli H-bomb project, such collaboration is against the policy of the UK government. I am all for academic freedoms, but I would urge the Dean of City and
Guilds to consult the Foreign Office on this matter.
For reasons which I would be glad to explain to any Physics undergraduate (perhaps a good comprehensive paper question for next year?) the characteristic X-ray emission of a 4 kilot on atmospheric nuclear explosion is unmistakeable The detection of this signature by the Vela test-ban monitoring satellite last September, during a South African naval exercise, shows how far this project has progressd. Are we (as a College) prepared to assist in the production of a nuclear arsenal in a Fascist country? Yours faithfully Derek Everett Physics PG

Studentae Imperialis
a review of the species The average visitor to South Kensington rarely
concerns himself with anything other than one
or m o r e of the n u m e r o u s m u s e u m s , or
perhaps the Albert Hall. It is easy, amongst the
grandiose Victorian architecture, to overlook
the shabby, inconspicuous inhabitants of the
area. More than a casual glance, however, will
soon reveal the exciting variety of creatures to
be found. One of the most interesting of these
is Studentae imperialis. It is only recently that
biologists have been able to describe this
species, and I present here a review of the
work so far.
Studentae imperialis is confined to the South
K e n s i n g t o n a r e a , w h e r e there is a total
population of 4,000 individuals. Because there
is great variation in appearance, behaviour and
habitat, five sub-species, or variants, have been
described.
The 'type' species is normalis. This is the
most common variety, comprising 80-90% of
the population, and is believed to be the most
primitive. Normalis is a placid, dull creature. It
a v o i d s c r o w d s , a n d p r e f e r s w a r m , safe
environments s u c h as lecture theatres and
libraries. Males and females are difficult to
distinguish, due to their similar habits of dress.
However, males do vastly outnumber females.
The result of this unbalanced distribution of
the sexes is that a high proportion of normalis
males have poor eyesight and have to wear
s p e c t a c l e s . A l t h o u g h so l i tary by n a t u r e ,
normalis occasionally joins a group of five to
ten individuals to form a 'clique'. These cliques
are u n c o m m u n i c a t i v e and withdrawn when
confronted by other individuals, and can often
be seen sitting by themselves in a circle in a
c o m m o n r o o m or bar . T h e s e g r o u p s are
extremely boring , and the kee n naturalist
should not waste time observing them.
The most common variant after normalis is
socialus, which accounts for between ten and
t w e n t y p e r c e n t of the p o p u l a t i o n . T h i s
colourful variant is friendly and affectionate.
They are more adaptable than normalis, and
have a consequent ly more diverse habitat.
Rarely found in libraries, socialus can often be
found in bars , pubs , or the noisy c r o w d e d
places which normalis avoids . T h i s variant
would undoubtedly increase in numbers and
bring about the extinction of normalis if it were
not for the activity of the predator Examiner
imperialis. This seasonal creature appears for a
month in the early summer . W h e r e a s the
habitat and behaviour of normalis makes it
unappetising to the predator, poor socialus is
highly vulnerable , and the populat ion may
be drastically reduced. (Indeed, the fear of the
predator may be so great that a socialus
i n d i v i d u a l m a y s p o n t a n e o u s l y r e v e r t to a
normalis, becoming just as drab and boring,
and frequenting the same habitats.) U n l i k e
n o r m a l i s , w h e r e c o p u l a t i o n is u n k n o w n ,
socialus may pract ice a primitive form of
sexual reproduction. The production of young
is rare.
Three other small but important varieties
have been observed. The largest of these is
vulgaris. This evolved from socialus, but is
u n d o u b t e d l y d e g e n e r a t e . T h e r e are one
hundred and fifty or so individuals, each having
its own distinctive behaviour pattern. Vulgaris,
w h i c h is often found in the U n i o n B a r , is
m o r p h o l o g i c a l l y d i s s i m i l a r to the o t h e r
varieties, usually being thick-set and rather
ugly. O n e interesting feature is that the right
arm may be better developed than the left.
This may be due to the unusual diet, which is
high in liquid content. Other authorities believe
that, like the eyesight of normalis males, it is
due to the relative scarcity of females. Vulgaris
c a n be o n e o n e of the m o s t i n t e r e s t i n g
creatures for the,keen naturalist to study. One
of Nature's most delightful spectacles is to see
a vulgaris individual bend his head towards the
ground, to hear the distinctive gurgle-splash-
gurlge splash sound that indicates that he is
having, or rather, has just had, a good time.
There are only four individuals of the fourth
variant, Sabbaticalus. They have a short life-
cycle of only one year. Nothing useful can be
said about them, other than that they make a
lot of noise, out of all proportion to their size.
The rarest variant is the much sought after
Eroticus. These females are highly attractive to
males of all the other varieties. T h e y are
extremely rare, and a live individual has not
been recorded for many years. Some authorities
claim the variety is extinct, and others claim it
is a mythical creature that has never existed
outside the warped minds of socialus and
vulgaris males. It is claimed, however, that
there is a stuffed s p e c i m e n in the N a t u r a l
History Museum. This is hard to believe, since
it is wel l e s t a b l i s h e d t h a t it is v i r t u a l l y
impossible to stuff such a female.
In summary, it can be seen that Studentae
imperialis is an extremely interesting creature.
So , for an exciting day out with the kids, get
out the car and drive down Prince Consort
Road. Remember, keep the windows closed,
don't get out of the car, and definitely do not
feed them!

A Modest Reply From Justin Newland Two weeks ago, an essay entitled "The American-Iranian Conflict: Some Historical Perspectives" appeared in this magazine (FELIX Issue No 552, dated 9th May 1980). The following week, a number of letters criticising my article were published in FELIX. I should like to thank the Editor for allowing me this opportunity to reply to these criticisms.
First of all, I humbly apologise to any and all Muslims whom I may have offended by describing their religion as Mohammedism, rather than Islam. This was entirely due to my ignorance.
Now, the letter from Islamic Society kindly informs us that "the teachings of Islam . . . regard men and women ps equal before God".
While the italics are theirs, I would be more inclined to emphasise the word " r e g a r d " . Perhaps Islam regards equality in such a way that it bears an uncanny resemblance to gross inequality? Have you ever seen a Muslim man wearing a veil?
Nonetheless, I did admire the nimble dexterity with which they have exploited the current situation: in the same letter, they tell us that "the aim" of sending us all their religious propaganda was not to disseminate the Muslim faith, but on the contrary, "was to clear many misconceptions about Islam, common in England". Indeed, I was interested to read in their 'Brief Guild to Islam' that "from dawn to sunset every day for thirty consecutive days . . . a Muslim voluntarily gives up eating, drinking and sexual habits". I wonder if they could explain why, in some Muslim countries, this "voluntary" activity is supported by legislation.
Yet I fully realise that this is a captious objection to a faith which is a magnificent spiritual sanctuary, but whose articles, like those of Christianity, are being insistently questioned.
Two critics commented on my literary style. May I ask them, was my essay merely a piece of prose, and nothing else? If so, then all criticisms should have been aesthetic,

or judgements on the form, rather than intellectual or logical, or judgements on the content. But my article was not a poem; it was a serious attempt to examine the current American-Iranian struggle from both sides and to draw some historical analogies. Therefore, any aesthetic comments should have been supplementary to a review of the content of my work, and should have been confined to a single issue: whether the style was appropriate to the content.
If I am to understand their aesthetic judgements correctly, writers in FELIX should use no metaphor, similie, or any literary embellishment save cliches, and God forbid if they should ever quote any foreign words and annotate these with their meanings. And eternal damnation to an author whose vocabulary forces his readers to pore over a dictionary.
On a personal note, I cannot believe that my essay offended Ms Ann-Marie Tomsett as much as her spiteful, vindictive letter wounded me.
However, this same lady suggested that my essay should have been entitled "The American-Iranian Conflict: Some Personal Historical Perspectives". Allied to her objection that my work was " . . . opinionated . . . verbal tenesmus" (what the hell does that mean?), these arguments may seem like those of a fool whose bolt is soon shot. In fact, they raise an important issue. For example is the historical perspecitive called dialectical materialism (n.b. if I explain this theory, I'll be accused of verbosity, if not, then pomposity) a universal law, or merely one personal interpretation of history? I had always thought of looking at history as similar to looking at a panorama: some folk pick out this aspect, this detail, this tree, or this leaf, while others see the valley, the forest, and the landscape as a whole. Either way, the view is individual, and therefore bound to be opinonated.

a Mr Stephen Goulder concerned my "libellous" accusation that the Western media is notoriously biased. I should say here that, as a good citizen, I believe everything I read in newspapers, down to the last monosyllable in the Sun. How can the British Press be slandered in such a way when, for example, just recently they unerringly explained to the curious British public just why the Day of Action had been called? God forbid! It would be like accusing these honourable journalists of distracting the attention of the public from the central issue (ie, the present administration's iniquitous policies) by creating a ballyhoo about Len Murray's holiday.
Indeed, the same critic thought that my conclusion "we must look beyond . . . the framework of international law for the eventual resolution of this crisis", did not account for the presence of the UN to deal with such situations. Well, I suppose they have managed it so well that they have already resolved the conflict, but are keeping it a secret for the time being? Like its illustrious predecessor, the League of Nations, whose mere existence did so much to halt the onset of the Second World War, the United Nations has feathered its cap by preventing the Suez crisis, the Korean and Vietnam wars, and a couple of Middle-East wars to boot. Seriously though, I accept that the U N may help resolve international quarrels once they have arisen, but are their conventions universally recognised, or, more to the point, are they never broken?
However, it was this alert gentleman who alone raised any fresh questions on the content of my essay. His realistic analysis, as far as it went, was excellent, but in some places, dogmatic. At one point, he states that: "If the Americans agreed to the terms demanded this would then put every foreign embassy in the world at risk." Here he fails to establish

the principle motive of the Iranian students in occupying the American Embassy in Tehran; originally, this was to force the US to extradite the ex-Shah back to Iran, where he would face a treason trial. Incidentally, new evidence seems to suggest that one reason the Americans refused to comply with this demand was that the ex-Shah had enormous dollar holdings in the US
While I do not have the space to comment on some other pertinent criticisms raised by Mr Goulder, I will say this: in my opinion, it is now irrelevant whether the Americans accede to the terms of the Iranian students, in so far as the current vogue in terrorism has shifted from plane-hijacking to attacking embassies.
Finally, any discerning reader of my original article will have realised that I deliberately adopted a stance of non-alignment; hence the criticisms levelled against me by both sides. I repeat my claim that the one positive common factor shared by the American and Iranian people is that they are each and all members of the human race. Thus it is the springs of humanism that must eventually join these, and all, peoples together.
At the risk of provoking - the derision and hostility of some of my readers, I will couch my concluding remarks in a figure of speech.
It is only when every country's belief in the UN, or some other institution embodying the principles of humanism, has been nourished by the rains of time that the flower of universal peace and equality will prosper.
Until then, we must endure the stench of wars, the sickness of the Third World, the starvation of millions, and the most nauseous sight on this earth . . .the suffering of children.

him reinstated. Support at the
occupation by IC students would
be welcomed, particularly during
the day (there are quiet rooms to
revise in!). Anyone wishing to help
should go along to the club:
17 Bramham Gardens, SW5 or
contact Mary Attenborough (ext

J U S T A S E C
Thank you all for turning up to the Annual General
Meeting, it was indeed good to see the place full.
The social and athletic awards, which were announced
then, are printed in this edition of FELIX. If you ai;e on the
list you may purchase from the Bookshop a tie or pendant.
However, don't rush along now, wait for a certificate to be
sent to you in the internal post. This must be presented
when you go to buy it. Congratulations to you all.
Union General Awards were presented to Chris Fox,
Malcolm Brain, Bill Robertson (Senior Assistant Registrar
at College since 1967), T i m Hil lyer and myself.
Your comments on the French kids completely backed
up my own thoughts. " A pain in the arse" was the phrase I
heard most around Southside. Since then I have taken the
matter to the Union Council Meeting, held last Monday,
and the Union does not support any profit making venture
which* is to the inconvenience of students. Clearly this
means the French kids if you are studying in your room for
exams. A letter has been sent to the Refectory Chairman.
I have been asked to inform you that members of the
College have been invited by the Mayor-elect of South
Kensington and Chelsea to attend the Civic Service at St
Mary Abbots Church at 11:15am on Sunday 1st June.
That ' s all for this week, except have a good Bank
Holiday.

Last Tuesday's ICU A G M was held in the Concert Hall. About 200 students
were at the meeting.
The Officer's reports were printed in a special edition of EXEC NEWS and
after these were discussed, social and athletics colours were announced.
Members of staff were then given their social colours and the Union General
Awards were presented. »
The post of U G M Chairman was handed over to Jon Firth and the meeting
moved on to the motions. A successful attempt was made to change the order
of the Agenda. The motion on the Boat Club (see letter from Jo Armitage on
page 2) was heard. After one speech for and against the motion, the meeting
moved to a vote. At this point the quorum was successfully chalenged and the
meeting continued in the Queens.

U L U S R C A G M
The U L U Students' Representative Council
held its A G M on Tuesday.
The Sabbaticals' reports included discussion
on the 23% (average) increase in Intercollegiate
Hall fees for next session; the Government's
award of a paltry £1.6 million support for
overseas postgraduate students, and changes
in the course unit system. (As from the 1980
intake students will need to pass nine units,
not eight, for validation of degrees, a move
stimulated by engineering departments which
unlike ours use units).
The U L U constitution is under review; the
aims of the review body being firstly to make
the Sabbaticals more accountable (currently
they are responsible to only the annual joint
assembly of Sports, Societies and S R C ) .
Secondly, some reorganisation of the inter
relationship of the three councils is needed, to
ease administrative and financial problems.
The annual SCR Executive report made
plain the problems encountered by the six
faculty senators in trying to improve contact
with AAOs in their respective faculties. This is
important, because these students are our
contact with the Senate of the University,
giving us all another line of representation,
which at the moment is very under used.
The rest of the Exec reported work on
Student Grants (based on Bernard Smith's
paper), Libraries and Lecturer Training.
The elections of next year's executive were
then ratified, including:
John Passmore — Chairperson
Chris Webb — Senator for Science & Education
Bernard Smith — Executive Officer
Motions debated were as follows:
1. A motion from» Chelsea College Union
condemning the promotion deal done by NUS
with Philip Morris Tobacco Co (Marlboro, etc).
Helen Connors, the National Treasurer, turned
up to defend both the deal and the secretive
manner in which it was arranged, explaining
that it was designed simply to help finance
student film societies. The motion was passed
overwhelmingly nonetheless.
2. ICU's Human Rights policy was passed after
some debate, centred on the clause containing
the assertion that "the family is the natural and
fundamental unit group of society . . . " Frank
James finally explaining that families were natural
in the most literal anthropological sense of the
word.
3. The final motion passed proposed by Q M C
Union on the Chix Chewing Gum dispute; this
concerns the basic right of workers to join a
Trade Union.
The meeting closed due to inquoracy (a very
rare event) before the motion concerning
smoking during S R C meetings could be
discussed.

Mark Smith
Foreign Oskar Winners
Two other films well worth mentioning are The
Tin Drum (X, Odeon Haymarket) and Get
Out Your Handkerchiefs (X, Curzon), both
of which won oscars for the best foreign film.
The former concerns the development of Nazi
Germany as seen through the eyes of Oskar, a
three year old boy of uncanny talents. Not only
does he refuse to grow up, but he has a glass
shattering scream. The film is quite fascinating,
but drags in places.
Better, however, is the latter. A young man
decides to give his wife away to another man in
order to make her smile, which eventually
leads to further affairs with a neighbour and
then a very nasty child genius,
stylish and at times very
enjoyable, indeed.
The humour is subtle. Very
Mark Smith

4mm In 1968, a group of public schoolboys from Charterhouse,
Surrey, approached a music company with some tapes of
songs they'd written at school. Nine years later, their band
was simultaneously "Best British Band" and "Best Live
Band in the World" in the Melody Maker Readers' Poll.
This Sunday at 5, Simon Milner presents Focus on
Genesis, part one, tracing the careers of the band and its
members from 1968 to the departure of Peter Gabriel in
1975.

CRICKET
IC SUNDAY XI vs BAYGREEN Skipper Price won the toss for the sixth
consecutive time, this time using the
double-tai led coin to maintain his
unbeaten run this season (despite
winning the toss every game, though,
he's only won one match, drawn one,
and lost the rest). He elected to bat on
a beautiful summer 's a f ternoon.
Forshaw soon sacrificed his wicket by
being stumped for 1. Then Chadwick
came in and dominated an hour long
partnership of 72 with his contribution
of 15. Meanwhile at the other end,
Stantiford was showing a bit more
calm and composure with his batting.
He took 58 minutes to reach his 50,
being dropped only once on the long-
on b o u n d a r y . He was j o i n e d by
Morton after Chadwick was caught,
and the crowd were treated to two
vastly different styles of batting.
Stantiford was punishing the bowling
with his usual textbook-style shots
whilst Morton, showing his forming
background demonstrated most of the
shots that you wouldn't find in textbooks.
Stantiford reached his 100 in just two
hours and finally finished up with 127
N O, including four 6s and twelve 4s
whilst Morton scraped a meagre 61 N
O in his ninety minutes at the crease.
C o n s e q u e n t l y Pr ice was able to
declare at 210 for 2 at ten (reluctantly,
though, because he had lost the two
games in which he had previously
declared).

Senkiw and Morton opened the
throwing after ten. The former, although
ageing, showed plenty of class and
was most unlucky not to get a wicket
in his open ing spe l l . The latter,
Morton, with a wider variety of short
balls and long hops down the leg side
managed to pick up the wicket caught
by his partner Stantiford behind the
stumps. The next bowler brought into
the fray was tennis player, Middelboe.
He boweld with great spirit, if not skill
and took a wicket in his mammoth
four over stint. Next we were treated
to a truly breathtaking display of the
art of spin-bowling, by Myers and
Price. Myers bowled over 11 overs, 1
for 30, the wicket being a diving catch
by the sk ipper at mid-off . Pr ice ,
keeping his spinning ball for every
10th over, managed with deceptive use
of flight and pace to take four wickets
for 44 runs off 15 overs, all of them
being cuaght off half vol leys just
outside the off stump. Despite these
breakthroughs and the re-introduction
of Senkiw into the attack, Baygreen
held on to a draw and finished on 137
for 7. Forshaw helped Baygreen by
very ably dropping 2 catches in the
slips off Senkiw's bowling. The evening
was crudely rounded off by Morton,
Stantiford and Middelboe suggesting
various poetic phrases for the skipper to
write on his 'good luck' card to, as
Morton, put it, his 'passion flower'!
Team (only 10): Price, Morton,
Stantiford, Maguire, Clark, Chadwick,
Senkiw, Myers, Middelboe and Forshaw.

IC may have lost University Chal
lenge, but C & G Aerosoc won
Aeronautical Challenge.
Aeronautical Challenge is an
annual competition run by the
Graduate and Students Section of
the Royal Aeronautical Society with
the same format as University
Challenge.
Teams of three, from each of the
four London sub-sections (Imperial,
Queen Mary, City and Kingston
Poly) competed against each other,
answering questions on aeronautical
subjects.
In the first round Imperial beat
Kingston Poly by 170 to 50 points
and in the final we beat City by 130
to 60 points.
The team consisted of Mike
Napier (Aero 2), Paul Butcher
(Aero 2) and Huw Robert (Aero 2).
Once again, this confirms the high
standing of Aeronautics students at
IC.

Nottingham City Regatta Over the weekend, the majority of the
Boat Club were competing in the Two
Day Nottingham City Regattas, held
on the Glare international course at
the National Watersports Centre.
The 1st VIII had a weekend of mixed
fortunes. Competing in the Senior 'A'
event on Saturday, their only opposition
came from Durham University. However,
the crew had a bad row and were
beaten by about two lengths. Sunday,
however, was a different story, and
despite being down in the first part of
their f inal they rowed well , and
eventually rowed through to win by
just over a length'from Lady Margaret
BC Cambridge.
The 2nd VIII, qualified easily for the
final of the Senior ' C Vllls event, by
finishing third in their heat. A good
start gave them an early lead in the
final, which they increased throughout
the race, to win by about three to four
lengths. On Sunday, suffering from
the night before, and competing in a
higher class, they were fifth in the
Senior 'B' Vllls final.
The most unfortunate competition of
the weekend was novice Scu l l e r
Alistair Rowe. On Saturday he finished
second In his final and seemed about
certain to win the same event on
Sunday. However, with about a minute
to go in Sunday's final, as he was
taking the lead, equipment failure
robbed him of victory.
The Ladies Senior 'B' IV, had a very
hard race with a Hereford RC crew in
their Saturday final, but just managed
to hold them off to win by about half a
length. On Sunday, they had to row in
the Unclassified IVs event, where they
came up against a potential inter
national crew from Thames RC. The
girls rowed well to keep in touch for
the first half of the race, eventually
los ing by about four lengths to
Thames, but beating a Nottingham BC
crew.
A Ladies Seniro ' C IV and a Ladies
Novice IV were also entered for the
Sunday event, but neither of the crews
rowed as well as they can, with the
Senior ' C IV losing to a very good
Wallingford School crew.
Winning Crews
Senior 'A' Vllls (Sunday): Bill Bradbury
(bow), Steve Webb, Matt Pritchard,
Chris Geary, Tony Reynolds, John
Urry, Richard Fearnheard, Miles Fellows

Practical joke
fails to amuse
Police
On Sunday residents from Weeks
Hall drew an outline of a body on the
pavement outside their Hall. The
added some tomato ketchup and
surrounded the figure with barriers.
A local resident phoned the Police
and they questioned some of the
students who live in the hall. The
Week's security guard stayed with
the students while they were being
questioned.
FINNISTON REPORT I have had a bitterly disappointing response to* my enquiries about the views of the students in City and Guilds College on the Finniston Report. Our original plan was to formu'ite a student response to be sent to the Department of Industry at the beginning of April, but with a mere 18 replies from our 2,316 students we could hardly be representative, but IT IS N O T T O O LATE.
Mr Richard Morris, who is to organise the conference on Engineering Education, the offical reply to Finniston, to be held in October, has expressed a keen interest to hear our students' views and so we are once again aiming to produce a student response.
So please keep your comments, criticisms, and ideas on the Finniston Report rolling into the Guilds Union Office, Mech Eng Dept anytime until the end "of term. It is obviously important that we, as students of the foremost engineering institution in the country, voice our opinon effectively.
Thank You Jo Armitage President C & G U
Massive scores
on Asteroids
machine
On Wednesday night, students scored a high set of points on the Asteroids machine in Southside. The above photograph of the top ten high scores table shows that IC students are getting pretty good at the game. When will we challenge other London colleges?
E D I T O R I A L
The incident, last Saturday,
indicates how easy it is for
unauthorised people to get into
Southside. The architectural design
of the building adds to the problem.
There are 3 entrances and it is almost
impossible to stop a determined
person from entering the building.
Moving on to other less serious
events. The FELIX Motor Rally takes
place on Sunday 15th June. If you are interested, please
contact your C C U President. The Rally takes the form of a simple treasure hunt round London. Teams of 2 to 5 members. The winning team have their nan.es enscribed on the FELIX Rally pot in the Union Bar. I would like to thank Martin Watson for his help in organising the event.
Last Tuesday the ICU A G M voted that ICU should buy 200 copies per week of London Student next year. The paper hoped that we would buy
more and London Student will need
to have many large orders from other
colleges if it is to survive.
What do think of London
Student? Please write to FELIX
with your views.
Thank-you to Marie-Therese, Jeremy Nunns and Tim Hillyer for paste ups. Ian for impatiently waiting for eight hours while we rearranged the front page. Once again Mickie lias been a great help with printing photographs. Steve Groves has been helping print up pics for the review of the year. On page 3 of this issue I have included one of the photos from the Rugby tour of Holland .... there'll be lots more special photos in the review of the year!
Cheers to Justin Newland for writing another article this week. Mark Smith enjoyed 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 1 hope you do too. Congratulations to everyone who was awarded colours. Colin Palmer FELIX Editor
The Badge Soc Bit The Badge Society A G M took place last Friday in the Bridge Room, as the Green Committee Room was shut. The attendance wasn't quite as high as expected with many of our keener members being unable to make it. However, the elections went without hitch with the following people taking the major posts unopposed.
Chairthingy - me
Secretary - Dave Postill
Treasurer - Dave Greenwood
The remaining two posts, Co
ordinating Committee members,
will be decided at the first general
meeting of next term. Membership
for next year will be on sale soon,
price 50p, and there will also be a
competition to design the members
badge, so get thinking!
Have Fun.
