The crisis which has been looming within FELIX over thej

He a c c u s e s the Soc ie t y for

cannot see why Mr Guha wants

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 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

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

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

In my 8 years work w i t h

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

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

J a m i e for the good v i b e s , and

P a t and Andy for runn ing t he

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

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

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.

Stop Press

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 .

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

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

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

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 .

(Fr iday 10 th December)

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

the joy in the thought of G o d ' s power to

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 ,
