Theft in Lexham

Gardens

A thief ransacked three rooms in the basement of 48 Lexham

Gardens, a College head tenancy, last Friday. A large carving

knife which was removed from one flat and found in another, may

have been used to force the other doors or even as a potential

weapon.

Two of the rooms (occupied by M r J . Mart in Taylor, I C U External

Affairs Officer, and M r Tom Owen, R C S Academic Affairs Officer)

were unwisely left with only a small Yale top lock to secure them, the

stronger Chubb bottom locks being left off. These doors were easily

forced and access to a third room was gained via a window. The thief

quickly looked through the contents of the rooms and took money from

electricity meters as well as any loose change that was lying around.

Residents returned to the basement soon after midday Friday and

discovered the three open doors. A fourth room which had been

securely locked was undisturbed. The police were notified and in the

evening detectives looked for finger prints and took short statements.

The thief has not yet been apprehended and residents are advised to

double lock their doors whenever they leave the premises.

RCSU Bolt

With Spanner

A T A P P R O X I M A T E L Y 1:45pm yesterday a team of 20 R C S U

students successfuly violated Spanner and Bolt, the mascots of City and

Guilds College Union.

A raid was carefully planned, centring on yesterday's Guilds U G M .

The plan suffered numerous setbacks but eventually succeeded owing

to the initiative of the team members.

The house where the two mascots were kept was located and two

R C S U members approached the door in the guise of C o u n c i l

workmen. By some means they managed to gain access and, with a

further group following them, kidnapped both mascots.

Spanner and Bolt were taken away to a secret destination,

somewhere in the U K .

It was revealed earlier this Scottish first year physicist, Wednesday afternoon.

His action was prompted by

finding his long lost swimming

trunks amongst his home beer-

making kit last Saturday.

M r Deeny was reported to

have said that although the water

was a little cold he found the

exercise both re freshing and

inv igorat ing . H e encouraged

other IC students to make more

use of the marvellous Olympic

sized swimming pool, but not on

Mondays and Wednesdays.

M r D e e n y expressed his

intention to swim twice a week

on a regular basis as part of his

keep fit campaign. His campaign

was heralded last weekend with a

walking trip in Dorset. As well as

giving up smoking, M r Deeny

expressed a desire to generally

live a more "healthy and ful

filling life from now on," and

get "that old twinkle" back in his

eye.

exception to the vastly over

It is very easy to fall into the

turn up. It's not my fault . " But

this is in my opinion totally the

wrong attitude. T h e reason

why people don't go to an

event is because they don't

competing for audiences with

T h e problem is clubs have

no way of knowing what other

simple solution, surely, would

be to keep a diary in the

U n i o n Office in which clubs

could record details of meet

Dear Sir

It is w i t h interest and great

dismay that I have read the

article of Frank James and the

letters of M r L y a l l and M r

M e r c e r . I w o u l d l i k e to

apologise to Frank for the lack

o f p r e c i s i o n o f b o t h M r

Mercer and M r Lya l l ' s views.

F o r the last two weeks I have

w r i t t e n a l e t t e r for e a c h

F E L I X and yet not forwarded

them. N o w , I cannot remain

silent.

T o say that I am a Christ ian

needs clarifying for both M r

Mercer and M r L y a l l have

said that they are Christians. I

believe that every word from

Genesis to Revelation is Gods

inspired word. I believe in a

six day creation and have yet

to f i n d one sc ient i f i c fact

which can say to me " L o o k ,

here is evidence that demands

evolution and forbids crea

t i o n " . I challenge anybody

who reads this letter. M a y I

point a few things out.

1. T h e order of creation is

not the order of evolution.

T h e sun was created after

planets to state on bibl ical

fact.

2. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2

do not contradict. In Genesis

1 G o d says " T h i s is the order I

created heaven and earth. In

chap 2 G o d reveals a little

more, some of the detail, of

how H e created the world.

(Be careful with the Hebrew

tenses.)

3. The word for 'day' in

G e n 1 can be translated age.

But Exodus 2 0 v 8 - l l points

out that the Creat ion was

accomplished in six twenty

lour days. M a y I finally leave

a word of advice to the critics

of G e n 1 and 2. If you don't

believe it don't try and mock

or re fute i t ; y o u d e c e i v e

yourself. If you don't believe

it, leave it alone.

T o M r Mercer and M r

L y a l l ; if you don't believe the

first two chapters of Genesis as

G o d s i n s p i r e d w o r d , y o u

might as well throw the whole

w o u l d l i k e to c o r r e c t the

erroneous assumptions made

by Messrs James and L y a l l in

their letters to you in last

b o t h w i t h r e g a r d to t h e

objectives and contents of our

article.

Firstly our article was n o t

in response to M r James' . O u r

intention was to try to show in

a necessarily generalized way,

that in submission to the W i l l

of God—-i.e. Islam—both faith

and reason are united.

Since the age of enlight

everything began to be re

been socially debased. Socio

religion is at best i l logical and

at worst a cruel contrick; " the

op ium of the poor" .

A l though some, like M r

the advance of science has not

affected his belief in a Creator,

denied that generally, belief

Kinnock on Cuts

N e i l K i n n o c k M l ' , the S h a d o w E d u c a t i o n Secretary, attracted a

sizeable audience on Tuesday when he discussed the L a b o u r Party ' s

alternative lo educat ion cuts. H i s speech firstly reviewed the current

s i tuat ion , and then indicated L a b o u r ' s plans.

T h e C u r r e n t Situation

M i K i i m o e k s t a l e d t h a t , i n h u m a n t e r m s , the C o n s e r v a t i v e

government lias a lready exc luded .many thousands of people f rom

highei educat ion. T h i s is c o m p o u n d e d financially, in that redundancy

payments of stall w i l l p robab ly outweigh the savings achieved. T h e

result is that educat ion cuts are " even more destructive than even the

government i n t e n d e d . " T h e danger is that the cuts, a i m e d p r i m a r i l y at

arts courses, wi l l undermine the structure of most universities. A

p r o b a b l e c o n s e q u e n c e , he s a i d , w o u l d be t h e c r e a t i o n o f

ovcrspeeialisod " m o n o t e c h n i c s " . S i r K e i t h Joseph w o u l d natura l ly l ike

to see such establishments full of students " w i t h short ha ir , shiny shoes

a n d l i v i n g at home on student l oans" .

T h e L a b o u r Alternative

M r K i n n o c k stated L a b o u r ' s educat ion pol icy to be expansion a n d

change. L a b o u r w o u l d restore higher educat ion financially, but w o u l d

expect universities to argue their case more effectively. In .particular,

the animosi ty between colleges a n d the general pub l i c must be healed.

H e said that university admissions procedures need to be changed , so

t h a t they a r e p r e o c c u p i e d w i t h a c c e p t i n g , a n d not r e j e c t i n g ,

prospective students. F o r this, more introductory courses a n d more

m o d u l a r courses should be started. M o r e o v e r , a selection c r i ter ion

w o u l d be w h i c h candidates cou ld best take advantage of higher

educat ion .

O n overseas students, M r K i n n o c k rejected the current po l i cy of

impos ing full-cost fees. T h e L a b o u r P a r t y resents what he termed the

government 's " chauv in i s t p re jud i ce " , as it results in the sole cr i ter ion

for selection being money. H e advocated that overseas students be

recommended for a place purely on ab i l i ty . A propor t i on of overseas

development spending, funded by N o r t h Sea o i l , w o u l d sponsor those

students who can't afford the lees.

After the meeting. L ' n i o n President N i c k M o r t o n talked to M r

s c i e n t i f i c t h e o r y a n d the

Q u r a n (Gods last vevelation

to M a n ) says about creation

and faith in G o d are united in

the religion of Islam.

It is in this context, alone,

that we quoted the Q u r a n i c

passages concerning creation

and not as M r James mis-

c h e v i o u s l y a s s u m e d . W e

believe that from our common

ancestor A d a m through to the

last prophet, M o h a m m e d , the

message to m a n k i n d has been

the single one of the unity and

oneness of God. E a c h prophet

from A d a m through to A b r a

h a m , L o t , J o s e p h , M o s e s ,

Jesus and Prophet M o h a m

med came to teach his part i

cu lar people how to worship

the O n e G o d — a l t h o u g h the

last prophet h ad a mission to

the whole of mank ind . But

always, the prophets brought

the same universal message of

Islam; submission to the w i l l

of one G o d alone. W e do no

therefore countenance asso

ciation of any partners with

G o d — w h e t h e r a n c e s t o r s ,

idols, H o l y Ghosts or "sons

and daughters" of G o d .

should hold a seminar? A l l I

w i l l say here is that whilst as a

theory D a r w i n i s m is adequate

to explain some of the evolu

tionary processes in the plant

and an imal k ingdom, it is

inapplicable to mankind . T h e

Omnipotent Creator , created

us from nothing and returns

us to nothingness—and on the

Day of Resurrection, each one

of us w i l l be held account

able for our sojourn on earth.

tried to follow a righteous

path of belief in G o d , worship

Accommodation for next year

The time has come to start thinking seriously about whether you want to apply to live in College accommodation next year and about what type of accommodation you want to go for.

Application forms will be available from Student Services on Monday, February 15. The closing date for applications is Friday, March 12. On Friday, February 12, FELIX will carry an illustrated supplement giving full details of available accommodation and how to apply for it.

While you are waiting for the FELIX supplement, here are a few thoughts to keep you going.

H a / / s and Houses

For the purpose of applications to Halls and Houses, you will be considered either as a re-applicant if you have lived in a Hall or House before or a new applicant if you haven't. People who have lived in Residence before can only be considered as new-applicants if:

a) They lived in Residence as an undergraduate and will be a postgraduate next session.

b) They have only lived in Residence during the second half session i.e. they moved in after the beginning of the spring term. Third Year New Applicants

It is anticipated that all third year new applicants will be successful in obtaining place in Residence, in single room accommodation. This is by no means a guarantee since we may have an unexpectedly high demand. Nevertheless, there is a good chance that we will be able to house everybody in this category.

Second Year New Applicants

Because of the priority given to third years, second year new applicants stand less of a chance of getting in and, if they do, there is a high probability that they will be offered shared rooms. Re-appllcants

These are selected by a sub-committee of each Hall and House Committee whose members have not applied for a further year in Residence. Postgraduates

Postgraduate re-applicants are treated in the same way as other re-applicants. Applications from postgraduate new applicants are considered by the Postgraduate Admissions Tutors in the Departments. The closing date for these applications is Friday, July 16.

Head Tenancies and College Flats

Present Head Tenancies include:

Hamlet Gdns, Hammersmith: flats for 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8.

Cambridge Gdns, Notting Hill: a flat for 4 and

one for 6.

Lexham Gdns, Kensington: flats for 3, 4, 5, 6,

and 8, also double flatlets and single bedsits.

Earls Court Square, Earls Court: single and

double rooms.

Sinclair Gardnes, Shepherds Bush: flats for 5

and 8.

Gerrard Mansions, Soho: flats for 2.

The College flats which will be available are

two Southside penthouse flats and one mews

flat behind Southside—all flats suitable for 4

people.

You can make one application for Resi

dence and one for the Head Tenancies and

flats, if the latter application is successful,

your application for Residence will be

withdrawn.

If you are applying for the Head Tenancies

and flats, then except in the case of single

rooms and bedsits, you will need to apply

with one or more others. You will only be

considered for accommodation suitable for

the size of group in which you apply.

I hope this has started you thinking about

next year. Look out for next week's FELIX and

the illustrated supplement (we should have

some extra copies of the supplement at

Student Services if you miss the FELIX). If

you have any queries in the meantime, don't

hesitate to contact us.

W e have seen the size of the planet earth shrink at an incredible rate this

century. Unt i l relatively recently few people ever left the security of their

own town or village and the thought of venturing overseas never entered

their heads. This was at a time when it would take months, even years of

uncomfortable travel to reach your destination.

It took manifest dest iny , to i l , sweat and great hardship for the

Amer ican people to traverse their continent in a century. W o w all it takes

is $140 and a G r e y h o u n d bus to take you to L o s Angeles in a day or so.

This century has seen newer and faster forms of transportation. Roads

and motorways have meandered their way through most parts of the

western world , with their tributaries running past everyone's doorstep.

Airplanes particularly have seen the time for journeys that would have

taken months melt away to mere hours.

In an age when we can travel through the air faster than the speed of

sound, when we can get out of bed in L o n d o n to make it in time for tea in

N e w Y o r k , what does the future of transportation hold for us?

showing (6:30pm, M E220 , etc.)

Relativity, the all-time classic film,

of, er, um, well yes. It's hard to

describe, but if you want to see a

film containing pot-holing, dancing,

fencing, nudity, violence, random

numbers, the size and complexity

of reality, and the catchiest tune in

known space, all inside twenty

minutes, don't miss it.

A lso in the programme, Plan 9

from Outer Space, the worst film

ever m a d e . A l i e n s a t t e m p t to

prevent mankind from destroying

everything with a new form of

energy they are about to discover

by resurrecting bodies with their

Criswel l (who?) and must be seen

to be disbelieved. The last time I

saw it was at 3 o 'clock in the

morning. It took me weeks to

recover.

W e challenge you to see both

films in one programme, but be

warned, the result could be a

permanent personality change, so

Debating Society

For those of you who have not yet woken up after your Christmas

holiday, the IC Debating Society held a debate on Capital ism in the

second week of term. For those of you who woke up long enough to drag

yourself to the debate, thank you for your support.

W e are planning further debates this term, including, hopefully, a

Nuclear Weapons debate, and, possibly, a South Afr i ca—Aparthe id

debate. Almost certainly there will be a debate on the superiority of the

male sex (no contest really), which will be held in a place with ready

refreshments, and debated by members of the society.

W h i c h brings me to the next, and most important point: membership.

A t p r e s e n t we have on ly the five c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s : D e r m o t

M c C a u l e y , Maths 3; Chr is Lee , Maths 3; Steve Turner , Physics 1; Steve

Parr , Physics 1; Steve Chamber la in , Physics 1.

A s well as the superiority debate, I have a few other ideas, but these

can only be implemented if we have some membes. C a r d s are now

available, and the fee will be 50p (contact one of the above five).

Jo in the society now, and we can have plenty of serious, half-serious

and lunatic debates; delay too long, and the society will fold up as it has

done in the past; and this would be a sad end to a valiant effort to bring

informative entertainment to I C .

Publicity Officer

P S : Sorry for the solemn report. Y o u will cheer me up no end if lots of

you join. After all , in the words of the immortal Sir Robert , this could turn

out to be " . . . .a major contribution to lunchtime entertaiment".

The first two lectures in the series "Nuc lear War in Europe" (organised

by the College E N D group and Humanities department) have seen both

Professor Nei ld and L o r d Carver condemn the danger and futility of

Defence and Foreign Policies centred around nuclear weapons. Without

condition both speakers supported C N D ' s premises and arguments for

nuclear disarmament. However, L o r d Carver raised doubts about C N D ' s '

proposed process of disarmament. The lectures were both attended by

upwards of 200 people', a trend hopefully repeated with the third last

Tuesday. The last lecture of the series takes the form of a debate

between Pro fessonMichae l Pentz and L o r d Chalfont. This promises to

be a heavyweight tussle between two accomplished speakers, and it is

important that both sides (especially C N D ' s ) are adequately represented

in the audience. Furthermore, please note that a veteran disarmer, L o r d

Zuckerman, will present the sixth Jubilee Lecture entitled 'Nuclear

Illusion and Reality'. The Rector will chair the occasion which takes place

in the Great Hall on February 18 at 5:30pm.

The Hypochondriac by Moliere. Trans

lated by Alan Drury. Directed by Michael

Bogdanov. The Olivier, National Theatre.

" O h , the powers of nature! She knows what

we need, and the doctors know nothing."

Benvenuto Cellini, Autobiograpy (1558-66)

"Doctors cut, turn, and torture the sick, and

then demand of them an undeserved fee for

such services."

Heraclitus (c 500BC)

Moliere would doubtlessly have nodded with

mocked approval at these words. He was

obsessed with illness, medicines and doctors

all his life, and no less than six of his plays are

comic but biting attacks on the medical

profession.

The incomparable Daniel Massey plays the

totally self-absorbed hypochondriac, Argan, in

Moliere's play Le Malade Imaginaire, otherwise

known as The Hypochondriac. Argan draws

comfort in his pitiful life from only two sources:

his loving wife and enemas (liquid medicines

injected into the rectum). In between hurried

shuffles to the toilet catalysed by ingesting his

beloved medicines he tries to marry off his

daughter (played by Emily Morgan who also

plays her very young sister in a truly comic and

unforgettable way) to a doctor. With Michael

Bogdanov directing in his typically exuberant

style, the result is a hilarious and delightful

evening of buffoonery.

The Hypochondriac, like all Moliere's plays,

is based on the Italian Commedia delVArte, a

form of rough, improvised theatre abounding

in earthy humour and bursting with vitality. It

is an art-form that is currently enjoying a great

popular revival and it is one that 1 personally

have taken a great liking to. The National

Theatre production retains these elements

which materialise in the form of revels,

masques, street plays, acrobatic displays and

song and dance. The Commedia delFArte

consists of popular 'stock' characters and I

was surprised to discover that Moliere took as

his model (he himself acted in his plays) the

character of Scaramouche who clownishly

personifies a cowardly braggart. Scaramouche!

Now there's an interesting aside! Are we not

forced to the inevitable conclusion that the

FELIX puzzle-setter with his self-adopted pen-

name Scaramouche, is no more than a self-

confessed cowardly braggart, so cowardly he

has to conceal his identity under this

pseudonym?

The Hyprochondriac must be one of the

most enjoyable plays currently on stage in Lon

don. However, it is unfortunately coming to a

close and its last four performances are on

February 15, 16 and 17 (matinee and evening). I

am very tempted to go again—something I very

rarely do.

Nick Bedding

Good by CP. Taylor directed by Howard

Davies. The Royal Shakespeare Company

at the Warehouse.

This is the first time I had been to The

Warehouse and I was somewhat overawed (or

perhaps the word should be 'underawed') by

its interior, and coming in with only a few

moments to spare meant that I wasn't paying

the attention I should when the play began.

The small theatre occupies the loft of an old

building and the overall appearance is one of

shabbiness and temporariness, but it does

possess a rather likeable intimacy. The

Warehouse is the R S C ' s experimental

platform, and such current successes as

Educating Rita began life here.

C P . Taylor, author of Good, unfortunately

died at a tragically early age only a few weeks

back, just when his work was achieving

national recognition. Good is a mature and

intelligent play about a 'good' man, a lecturer

in German Literature, who gets caught up in

the maelstrom of the T h i r d Reich and

eventually becomes its turning force. This

character, Haider, is played with commanding

presence by Alan Howard, who has just won

The Standard Award for Best Actor for his

performance in the play. Haider unintentionally

becomes involved with the forerunner of the

Nazi party and although he vaguely perceives

in the distance the injustices and horrors Nazi

policy is leading to, his immediate personal

problems are of more importance to him. His

Jewish friend tries to awaken him, but to no

avail. Haider suffers from a mental disturbance

in which he clearly hears orchestral music in

moments of personal drama. This is a clever

device employed by Taylor to add lighter

touches to the play, the actors bursting into

song now and again to the accompaniment of a

trio, but I did feel slightly uneasy about this at

times; the subject upon which the play is based

is of the type that demands a finely tuned

balance between humour and d r a m a .

Unaware of the maelstrom inexorably pulling

him towards its centre, Haider is only

conscious of the people and the problems

immediately around him.

The play is based on documentary material,

including unpublished transcripts of interviews

with SS officers who played an important part

in administering the Nazi concentration

camps. But above all the play is a work of

imagination and of the present day; of people

not having the time, the foresight or inclination

to appreciate where world events are leading

and by their very inaction bring about the

arrival of horrendous situations which those

world events foreshadowed. Hitler said in

c o n n e c t i o n with the Jews " t h e art of

leadership... .consists in consolidating the

attention of the people against a single

adversary and taking care that nothing will

split up that attention." This 'art of leadership'

is again being practised today, but this time

across the Atlantic

Good has been a sell-out success since it

opened last September but discussions are

underway about a possible further London life

for the p r o d u c t i o n at the end of the

Warehouse session in March, followed by a

season in Broadway.

Nick Bedding

The Battle for the Labour Party by David

and Maurice Kogan, Fontana, £1.75, 151

pages.

This book is about the activities of the left

wing groups in the Labour Party. It takes a

fairly objective approach, it's not the sort of

book Denis Healey might write, but it's clearly

sympathetic to the right of the Labour Party, it

concentrates on what's happened between

1979 and the end of 1981, with a little

background material about dissent in the

Labour Party since 1900. The organisations

described in the most details are the Campaign

for Labour Party Democracy (which pressed

for the constitutional reforms) and later the

Rank and File Mobilising Committee (which

supported Tony Benn's election campaign.

The R F M C recently appears to have been

superseded by 'Labour Liason '82').

If you think that that paragraph was boring

then you aren't going to like the book, which is

written like a textbook. It's a pity about the

style because the subject matter is important,

so long as there's still a chance of Labour

forming a future government. The book makes

it clear that the left are much better organised

and more intelligent in the way they persue

their aims than the right wing of the party. But

you can see this already from the big changes

the leftist groups have accomplished in the last

few years (compulsory reselection, the

electoral college, the SDP). More interesting

are the descriptions of exactly hou; the

activists go about getting support for their

aims. They depend on the fact that local

parties are always controlled in practice by a

small number of people who bother to turn up

to meetings and stand for committees (just like

ICU). "The C L P D bombarded every constitu

ency with campaigning material which

included the standard resolutions to be

proposed at that year's conference." So at a

conference, forty or fifty constituency parties

might all propose the same resolution (skillfully

drafted for them by the CLPD) giving the

impression of enormous popular pressure for

constitutional change. There 's nothing

underhand about such tactics of course, and

the book emphasises that the left are generally

careful to follow constitutional methods.

The book also deals with the deputy

leadership campaigns, involving the Rank and

File Mobilising Committee (partly Trotskyist,

the Kogans say) and its backing for Tony

Benn. Then there's fourteen pages or so about

Ken Livinstone and the G L C , then the last

chapter which is a mildly pretentious and

boring discussion of the 'theoretical' basis for

the left's campaigns. The authors are better at

reporting and describing events than they are

at getting at the reasons why they happen and

the postcript, added a few months after the

main text was finished, is one of the most

interesting parts of the book. They recount

how the parliamentary party is becoming more

left wing: "Of 25 MPs retiring, 17 had voted for

Healey and were replaced by candidates of the

outside or inside left." It looks like a race

between the activists and the SDP to se who

can finish off the Labour Party first. On the

whole, 'The Battle for the Labour Party' is a

reasonably interesting but not very well written

book.

Wood's Golden Turkey atlC

Imperial College Science Fiction Society is to

show the film Plan 9 from Outer Space on

Tuesday (6:30pm, Mech Eng 220), which has

been hailed as the bad film cult classic.

Plan 9 concerns the bid by alien beings to

prevent the destruction of the entire universe.

To do this they must stop the human race

from developing a bomb which would explode

the sun. When peaceful methods fail they

invoke Plan 9, whereby the human dead are

raised from the grave and set against their own

race.

The film has received many awards: The

Worst Film Ever Made at The Worst Film

Festival held in New York in November 1980,

and IVorsf Film in the book The Golden

Turkey Awards.

The plot is complemented by some highly

amusing acting and dialogue. Director Edward

D . Wood Jnr . shot about three minutes

footage of veteran actor (and friend) Bela

Lugosi stalking and around his home dressed

as Dracula. When Lugosi died, a "double" was

needed to complete the film, who was a good

foot taller and concealed his imposture with a

cloak draped over half of his face.

Some of the classic dialogue is typified by

the line "Inspector Clay is dead. Murdered.

And somebody is responsible!"

Entrance is 20p to members, 50p to non-

members.

sent to me at the FELIX Office as usual. There

will be a prize of £5 (donated by Mend-a-Bike)

for the correct solution randomly selected at

1:00pm on Wednesday.

Last Week's Solution

Oi the forty-five people who discovered that

three long and shaggies together with two

short and sophisticated make up 150 grams,

Steve Westcough, Maths 1, was chosen as the

winner, and he can collect his cheque on

Monday afternoon.

Many of you thought that the last two

puzzles were too easy. Well, this week's is the

sort which some people will see immediately,

and others will find very hard; it's just a matter

of spotting the correct approach. Next week

I'll try for something really tough!

Next week's Ents film is McVicar starring

Roger Daltry and Adam Faith. It is the story

of the convicted criminal James McVicar,

formerly Britain's "Most Wanted M a n " .

Thirds C o n t r a r y to expectations Belsize Park were

shit hot. But we were better. Yet again I C

had a far smaller pack, and wou ld have to

rely upon the backs lor any attacking play.

T e n minutes into the game saw some slick

passing to the wing , and intelligent play put

J u l i a n Nor ley away on the overlap for IC ' s

first try. I C kept up the pressure throughout

the first hal l taking advantage of Belsize's

mistakes, w h i c h resulted in J o h n W i t t r i c k

T h e second hal l saw Belsize attack hard

denying I C possession of clean bal l . After

conceding a try, spirited play took I C up the

for the t h i r d t r y . B e l s i z e l a t e r s cored a

W e lost 0-2, 20 ' / 2 pts—27pts .

In a light force 7 the team generously

offered to test U E A ' s boats to destruction.

In the first race the team got off to a good

start but this could not last for long. Bennett

and D a l t o n were rammed on the first beat in

a vicious (illegal) manoeuvre by the opposi

tion. T h i s was followed by a dastardly move

(also illegal) against M i l l s and R e d m a n w h i c h

resulted in their subsequent capsize, they

then proceeded to dredge the channel for

twenty minutes. K e n n e d y and Butler , on

their way past, hysterical w i th laughter,

executed " a superb death r o l l " and j o ined

M i l l s and R e d m a n in their industrious work.

Not to be outdone Bennett and D a l t o n j o ined

in , per forming numerous ' immersion tests' on

their boat, and sank!! Th is meant an easy

win for D E A , 10 3 / 4 pts-16pts.

A l t e r a break to recover Bennett's boat,

ieffect repairs and eat lunch , the second race

iwas started wi th some trepidation. M i l l s and

K e n n e d y made good starts and the team

were placed 2, 3. 4 round the first mark. T h i s

temporary situation was soon rectified when,

at the second mark, K e n n e d y demonstrated a

classic 'gybe and swim for it ' manoeuvre.

This was copied beautifully by Bennett when

he arr ived at the same mark a few minutes

later. O n the second lap K e n n e d y repeated

Attention all Election Candidates The papers for the sabbatical elections go up

.next Friday and soon we will be flooded with

publicity for ICU and C C U elections. After

giving the matter of elections some thought it

has become apparent to me that it is very

difficult to be both informative and completely

unbiased. After all, it is hard for the electorate

at Imperial C o l l e g e to make i n f o r m e d

decisions, when all they have to rely on is the

candidates' own publicity in the form of

posters, handouts, a FELIX manifesto, IC

Radio and STOIC's promos.

For this reason I have decided to run a

special series of Soapbox articles running up

to the elections. Starting next week I invite any

member of College to submit articles on why

they think they are the right candidate for a

post or alternatively why someone else isn't.

You could even say what qualities you would

expect from anybody standing for a particular

position.

If the articles are concise, informative and to

the point then I shall attempt to print as many

as possible. This unique service gives both

candidates and electorate the chance to say

exactly what they want about the elections.

The only limitations will be length, factual

accuracy and, of course, the laws of libel.

So to start the ball rolling.

M r Harold Christopher Webb

This week Chris Webb, former External

Affairs Officer, came into the office to ask me

about publicity charges. It is rumoured that Mr

Webb is proposing to stand for ICU President.

In my opinion (and remember that these are

purely my personal feelings), Chris Webb is

just about the worst person who could

possibly stand for this post. The past two years

have been typified by a middle of the road

"reasonable" ICU President. John Passmore

had the added quality of being completely lazy

and a bit of a drunk, whilst Nick Morton, who

is a terribly nice person, has probably not

achieved everything he wanted to merely

because he is too easy going to stand up to

College.

Chris Webb, on the other hand is so wet

that he resembles Bangladesh after the

ravages of the monsoon. He is an ardent Tory,'

but is so middle of the road that he makes the

S D P look like the Hitler Youth. If he is elected

as ICU President then I think it will be a dark

day for IC Union.

I can see him now, agreeing with the Rector

over a large glass of claret and selling the

students down the river. He is a born politician

and as such has ambition which greatly

outweighs his ability. Sincerity is a word which

would not pass my lips when describing him.

What we need is a President with firm

opinions who will represent the students

strongly to the College authorities. Chris

Webb is not such a person.

Valentine's Day Next week there will be a special Valentines

section in the Small Ads column. Please collect

forms from the office and return by 5:30pm on

Tuesday if you want a short message included.

Publicity Offer

This time of year always becomes a bit of a

pain in the arse when the swarms of

prospective sabbaticals arrive at the office two

days before the elections wanting posters

printed. In a move to encourage would-be

sabbaticals to get publicity in early, I am

intending to have a special discount price for

any publicity handed (complete and ready for

printing) to me by 5:30pm on Tuesday.

This special offer is open to all candidates

and will allow those who have planned their

ideas well the chance to benefit just a little.

They could have a few extra posters and

handouts or even save some money!

M y very own radio show

I have accepted the invitation to appear on IC

Radio on Tuesday evening at about 8:00pm. I

will be interviewed live on air by ace presenter

Mo and will be asked about many aspects of

College life and, of course, FELIX.

So listen in on Tuesday if you want to learn

who James Deeny really is and where he buys

his coffee.

Those of you who remember Weatherspoon

may remember that near his cottage a long

straight path crosses a long straight river (not

at right angles) and that Weatherspoon's pig

lives on the land in the acute angle between the

two.

Last week Weatherspoon was able to buy a

piece of land on the other side of the path. It's

triangular in shape, with the path and the river

(forming an obtuse angle) as two of its sides,

and a long fence as the third side. But it's a

little large for Weatherspoon to cultivate on his

own, so he's planning to divide it into smaller

plots which he will share out among his friends.

Of course, it isn't that simple. Firstly,

Weatherspoon insists that each plot must be

triangular. And secondly, he objects to what

he calls 'long thin triangles'. He says they're

"all fence and no grass". So I've offered to

show him how to divide his field up into

triangular plots in such a way that no plot has

an angle greater than or equal to a right angle.

But I hope Weatherspoon realises he will be

sharing his land with at least—how many

others? Continued on page 8.
