Pooh men quick to rise
IN RESPONSE to Hull University's Winnie-the-Pooh Society's open challenge to a Pooh-sticks & Hum-championship a reply was quickly forthcoming from IC last week. Pooh enthu
siasts from all corners (of Tizard
Hall) were swift to reply to the
challenge.

Home Office
throws out
appeal O N L Y T H E ISSUE of a " Limited Appeal Licence " can save
the 1966 IC Carnival Procession. This the organisers applied for on
Monday at the suggestion of the British Red Cross Society following
the Home Office rejection of their appeal against the refusal by local
police forces to authorise street collections on Saturday, 14 May.
Carnival Chairman Chris Hocking contacted the Kensington
branch of the Red Cross on Thursday to seek an alteration of the
date of their collection—10 May. However, the Red Cross appeal
is being launched over the whole South-East of England, and was
so impossible to move.
A n alternative request to hold the Procession on the first Satur
day of Carnival Week—7 May—was turned down by the Chelsea
police as another collection was scheduled for the Tuesday of that
week.

The last word on posters
SIR,
I have just read Mr. Baramkis
letter in FELIX for 9 March..
Not having Mr. Baramki's obvious
familiarity with army barracks or the
rooms of sex maniacs, I am in no
position to pass such strong judgment
on your poster as he is. However, as
one who has for some time had the
unenviable job of attempting to get
people to read posters, may I suggest
that before condemning the various
publicity officers in IC he should at
tempt to find an easier solution than
banning sex.
In a College with so much internal
advertising—much of it of a very high
standard—it is difficult to get one's
posters read unless they are eye
catching and stand out from the mass.
Having accepted this one simple
fact—obvious to those of even limited
intellect—we must find'an eye-catch
ing poster. Regrettable though it
may be, one very effective gimmick
in an almost completely male society
is a pretty girl ; this 'has been proved
to work over and over again.
If Mr. Baramki would like to con
tact me I would be pleased to hear
his suggestions for improved publicity.
It is perhaps best to conclude by
asking which College poster has had
most effect on Mr. Baramki. Could I
suggest that this is a measure of i s
effectiveness as publicity, defined—Hot
by me—as the art of keeping the
name of the product in the eye of
the public as much as possible.
Could it be the FELIX poster in
question, my only complaint about it
is the poor standard of reproduction.

An appeal for
the fete SIR,
We wish to draw to the attention of
the Union the Carnival Fete and Pro
cession (?) which are being held on
i 4 May. 120 letters concerning this,
and requesting a quick reply, have
been sent to societies, halls and de
partment reps., to ascertain who will
be providing stalls and floats. At the
lime of writing, almost two weeks
since the Utters were sent out, we
have received only nine replies; if
those in positions of responsibility
cannot be relied on to reply to a re
quest such as this, we suggest that
they should not have taken on their
respective jobs.
Will the people who have not yet
replied please do so with the utmost
haste so that we can get on with our
job of organising the /'etc.

have asked Pope John . " A b o u t half , "

speaking at a General Studies on the

simple but remarkable man who celled
the second Vatican C o u n c i l and altered
the average Englishman's view of the
Catholic Church .

P R A G U E , Czechoslovakia's capital, is one of the world's loveliest
and least spoilt cities. In the old town, there are gems of gothic,
renaissance and baroque architecture. It is also gay with open air
restaurants, beer and wine cellars, theatres, cabaret and niht clubs.
Alchemist marred A H O U S E that was over half
empty helped to mar what might
have been a good performance of The Alchemist, last Wednesday.
This Jacobean Comedy by Ben Jonson was supposed to be funny and an indulgent audience would
have helped enormously. Alas, this was not to be. There were
pieces of bawdy humour but these
were scarce.

Liverpool is one of the oldest provincial
Universities and is situated in an area famous for it's beat music. It has been called the " modern culture " centre of England. The University has all faculties and is not just
confined to science and technology as we are at Imperial College.
The University is being expanded to cater
for about �����0 students although there are only about half that number at present.
About one third of these students are in the Halls of Residence which are situated 2\
miles from the University in a University
Village which is being expanded as new Halls are built.

Soccer Reserves Cup by John Todd
SECONDS SLIP BACK U C II 2—I.C. II 0
In a hard fought game at Motspur Park, both defences played
very weD and it was not until the last minute of the first half that
either team had a clear cut shot a', goal. The I.C. forwards never
managed to penetrate the U.C. defence or to even pin them down
in their own half for any length of time. But U . C . were having a
similar problem in beating an L C . defence in which Burnett was
particularly prominent during the early part of the game.

Touchstone Weekend on 'Race*
Education Needed b y M a r t i n B e l l .
M R . A . H . CHRISTIE, M.A. , Hon. Sec. of the Royal Anthro
pological Institute, was the speaker at the last Touchstone weekend
on " R a c e . " No ardent "pure racists!1" were present, and so the
weekend was mainly spent discussing what forms race prejudice took
and how it could be prevented.
He dealt first with the myth of race from biological facts ; there
is no biological validity for doubting that man is all of one single
species, Homo sapiens. The human race has not had time to develop
significant mutations, but isolated groups had. adapted themselves to
circumstances and had responded to ecological pressures. For
instance, the genes of Jewish groups throughout the world were found
to have no common factors and the genes approximated to the
groups in which the Jews were situated, in spite of their endogamous,
isolated situation. Thus the notion of pure " race " was nonsense.
There was a tendency, he said, in
al l races to regard a fair skin as so
cially desirable. It indicated wealth
and leisure, and he referred to the
upper class T h a i girls who could not
get married because of their dark
skins. There were psychological rea
sons also, such as fear of the dark
and the fundamental mystery of
L i g h t / D a r k , G o o d / E v i l . T h e world
is for many divided into " them " and
" u s " under the slogan " a b r o a d is
bloody, " but though differences
might be social, religious, historical,
l iqual , technological, and coloured,
there was no such thing as fundamen
t a l inferior or superior races.

Such weekends, with excellent food
and glorious surroundings at a very
cheap price, ought to be in very high
demand. T h e company was not i n
credibly intellectual—the discussions

the Sunday morning spent walking i n
Windsor Great Park or reading the
Sunday papers, all combined to make
it an excellent stay.

"DEMOCRACY i n I n d i a i s o:nly an experiment", s a i d Mr Hhanna, F o r e i g n Correspondent of THE TIMES OF INDIA at a j o i n t meeting of the Indian and Communist S o c i e t i e s . As such, i t
i s not an e s s e n t i a l p a r t of t h e I n d i a n n a t i o n , but may be d i s c a r d e d i f i t i s seen to have f a i l e d ' .
At present, democracy canno t be s a i d to have e i t h e r completely f a i l e d or completely succeeded. I t has given I n d i a d i g n i t y and a sense of u n i t y , born w i t h her independence (an achievement c o n s p i c u o u s l y L a c k i n g i n the cases of Egypt o r the USSR, f o r i n s t a n c e ) , & the economic r e c o r d i s i m p r e s s i v e .
Howevenji the gap betw.een the r i c h and the poor has not yet been closed, there has been no s i g n i f i c a n t r i s e i ^ n l i v i n g standards, and the government has completely f a i l e d to c o n t r o l the p o p u l a t i o n e ^ i o s i o n . At the moment a l l the p o l i t i c a l t a l e n t , much of i t mediocre, l i e s i n the Congress l a r t y .
The Communists ar^e d i s u n i t e d and of a very low c a l i b r e , and m i l i t a r y r u l e vrould be unrepresentative of a j j j . the peoples, and thus democracy has the best chance of succeeding, so long as i t can f i r ^ d strong l e a d e r s .
The ensuing d i s . s c u s s i o n concerned i t s e l f mainly w i t h comparing the s i t u a t i o n i n China (which was where tbie Communist S o c i e t y came i n t o i t s own) and I n d i a . The Communists were
at a great disadvantage as t h e y knew very l i t t l e of the problems of I n d i a , and were unc e r t a i n as to how to s o l v e them. Much i n t e r e s t i n g d i s c u s s i o n took place, however, and proved most i n f o r m a t i v e . / M a r t i n B e l l
