61 DAYS INTO ORBIT .. A D STILL COUNTING ... PRl CIPAL'S OPE I G OF SESSIO DDRESS TO STAFF A D STUDE TS LOOKS FORWARD WITH OPTIMISM In the rust three days of the new session the Principal. Professor Stewart Sutherland. gave a warm and energetic welcome to members of the new College. In introducing new students to key members of staff on the three campuses he offered congratulations on their achievement - in just being here - and emphasised their role as foundation students of a new institution: the future of the merged College began with them and in many ways relied on them.

His message for staff was also one of congratulation- for the time effort and emotion they had invested in making the merger possible and for the excellent academic results achieved this year 46% of students achieving first or upper second c1as honours), a sure sign that despite upheavals and uncertainties the quality of work has never wavered. King's now, he said had every right to feel optimistic - a cautious optimism, but optimism nonethele s. A quote from Marx (Groucho, not Kart) summed it up - "Don't let's be pessimists, always spending time building dungeons in the air!". In bringing staff up-to-date with some of the major developments in issues affecting the College, Professor Sutherland demonstrated the progress that had already been made and highlighted the advantages with which we begin the first Michaelmas Term of a very new session.

THE CO RT

D THE

The cademic Plan was submitted to the COUIt on time and has been forwarded to the UGC for urgent consideration. King's seems to have been successful in impressing upon the Court the wisdom of its plans and their importance to the University as a whole; the Report goes to the UGC with the Court's support. The UGC does not have the necessary capital funds to hand now, but hopefully can make a commitment to support King's in their need to integrate as soon as possible. There is a GC meeting in ovember so we might hope for an initial response this term. A ovember meeting is also planned with Peter Brooke (Under Secretary of State) and Sir David Hancock (Permanent Secretary) at the DES in which they can be formally briefed on the King's position; Sir Keith Joseph has shown an interest in this meeting and may, hopefully, also attend. These developments show that we are moving at the right speed, in the right direction and, although there can be no promises where there is no certainty, the support is there where it counts. Any opportunity to press our case must be taken and that includes individual members of staff explaining our needs and plans to their own personal contacts in Research Councils and the like. FI ANCE

The Principal in conversation at a reception for overseas student held at the tart of session.

Thanks to the expertise and forward· planning of our Finance Department we have a financial plan that fits the academic plan and one which is taking realistic account of current policies. The prospect of an overall 2% reduction in funding over the next few years has been anticipated in our forward planning and, hence, we are not teetering on the brink of the financial abyss that now dismays some of our colleagues, locally and nationally. Our deficit at the end of the financial year was £310,000 • not an overdraft any of us would relish personally, but a lower firgure for the College than had been expected. The projected deficit for this year is £200,000, with

I reasonable hope that it may be lower, and we plan to break even by 1988: not something that many institutions can say at this time. Every sector of higher education has severe financial problems and we are not exempt. However we are tackling them positively. STAFFING Our staffing at present stands at approximately 1,400 with an academic staff element of 523. Tills is above our target of 1,310 (490 academic) and there will have to be the greatest scrutiny in any filling of vacant posts. The Principal assured staff that natural wastage is the pattern being followed in the reduction of staffing levels. These figures presume no change in projected income. SELECTIVITY OF FUNDING The suggestion that there should be departments who do research and those who do not is not one supported by the Principal. Research is inextricable from teaching and it is the relationship between the two which is essential to universities. Teaching must reflect continuing research and research money should be available to all. Formula funding to departments will, therefore, continue, even if this has an aspect of 'equal misery' for all, as a two-tie,. system such as suggested by the UGC is unacceptable. NEW KING'S INIATIVES

funds provide the basis for continuing self-help in reshaping the College academically and spatially. Initiatives in new personnel are also designed to promote the future wellbeing of King's. Two Assistant Principal are now appointed with new roles and responsibilities (see separate article in this edition). The next meeting of Council will be asked to consider the appointment of an Indistrial Liaison Officer, to maximise the enormous potential for external collaboration and ensure the appropriate professional approach to relations with industry and com commerce. The Secretary, Mr Myles Tempany, is already laying firm foundations for his new role as Vice-Principal, External Affairs; an ambassadorial role fundamental to the future of the College, and he has in fact just returned from a highly successful visit to the Friends of King's College in Canada. In short, the College is well aware of the need to secure its own future and is ready to review and consider all appropriate means of facilitating this.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS PHARMACY AND NURSING STUDIES The University is still considering the possibility of moving Pharmacy and Nursing Studies to the unused space at St Georges, Tooting. King's remains totally committed to retaining these departments within KQC and can see no academic sense in moving them to Tooting. A small working group led by Professor Tyrrell, the Vice-Principal, is, therefore, continuing to press our case both within the University and through our friends in relevant professional groups.

With the trimming and snipping implied by the financial and staffing pressures there is a distinct risk of stagnation in the growth of the College. To ensure that this situation does not develop ENGINEERING several new steps have been taken. An Following the University Working Pa rty ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND recGmmendations" our Mechanical Enginhas been established to serve two main aering Department has been in discussion purposes: to allow for the possibility with its counterpart at University Collof filling key vacant posts which targets ege and has found sufficient common and restrictions might otherwise prevent, ground to proceed with plans for a and to provide 'seed-corn' funding for Joint School.

Up to ÂŁ 1m could be Report. As this is a Report which made available this year, dependent on King's strongly supports, on a matter progress on the sale of sites. These two of great College concern, a close eye

will be kept on developments in this area. WESTFIELD Discussions here have taken a significant step forward. A paper now prepared advocates one governing body one faculty, one academic plan, one space plan - in short, full integration as the only sensible way forward. This paper has been accepted by the Westfield Council and will 11;0 to the first meeting of the King's Council. QUEE ELIZABETH A D CHELSEA Discussion has been underway for some time as. to the most appropriate ways of commemorating these names; certain decisions have been taken and further recommendations are to be put to Council. Chelsea remains naturally in the campus title. Queen Mary Hall of Residence at Kensington has, with Royal approval, been renamed Queen Elizabeth Hall. The Principal is keen that named research studentships be created, that appropriate Chairs might be renamed and that consideration be given to the instigation of commemoration lectures on a regular basis, to be delivered by people of eminence in relevant fields. It is important always to recognise the past as well as to plan for the future.and to preserve things of lasting importance. WHERE IS IT ALL LEADING? The Principal left no doubt that he sees this new College as alive with new possibilities. Much has been attempted and much achieved, but there is still much to be done and this is certainly no time for complacency. King's is a top-flight academic institution and all planning and decision-making must be towards the maintenance of that excellence. Our intake of students this year is of high quality, from home and overseas, showing every sign of sustaining or surpassing our current record of achievment. In this coming session we must now look forward, realistically but with that 'cautious optimism', to perfecting the new orbit into which we have been launched.

A sad shadow was cast over the start of the new session by news of the sudden death of Professor Victor Gold, FRS, Head of the Department of Chemistry, Fellow of King's College and member of the College since 1944. A full obituary will be contained in the next edition of COMMENT. Funeral arrangements are given at the end of this issue.

WEEK OF

The Service will be held in the College Chapel on the Strand campus and will begin at noon. Seating in the Chapel is limited and attendance at the Service will have to be by ticket only. Some invitations have already been issued to all parts of the College but approximatecly half, some 200, tickets are open to application. Any member of KQC, staff and students, is most welcome to apply for a ticket, which will be issued on a first-come-first-serve' basis. Those of you who would like to come are, therefore, encouraged to fill in the reply form at the back of this newsletter as soon as possible. Tickets will be sent directly to you and a reserve list will he kept. There will be an informal Reception in the Great Hall immediately following the Service for all those attending. The Archbishop will be present and will hopefully meet as many people as possible. It is an honour for the College to be able to welcome the Archbishop, in his capacity as ollege Vi itor, and a most fitting manner in which to open the work of a new ession in a new chapter of King' history.

merger i' formally marked.

The fo t Reverend and Rt Hon Robert Run ie, Archbishop of anterbury, will visit the ollege on Thursday October 24 to preach at a Service of Celebration for the merged College. This will be a formal recognition of the merger, the rust since the Parliamentary Bill received the Royal Assent earlier in the summer.

EXHIBITIO

THE GREAT HALL

During the week of the Archbishop's visit a special exhibition will be mounted giving a panoramic view of the background and future of the ollege. It will be in three parts, PORTRAIT OF THE PAST, FOCUS 0 THE F TURE and the TJIAMESID CAMPUS. The key theme will be innovation, showing how the College has been and will continue to be a pioneering force in the development of education in London, and indeed nationwide. FOCUS 0 TH FUTURE will be divided into six broa>d sections covering Religion in the World, Man and Hi Environment, science and Medicine, Physical Science, Information technology and Computing and Language and Culture, presented in a way that will highlight the cross-fertilisation between departments and link the themes together. The xhibition is aimed at anyone with an interest in the work of the College and will be open from lunchtime on Tuesday October 22 to the early afternoon of Friday October 25 (acces will he limited to ticket-holders only during the morning and early afternoon of Thursday 24). The main part will be in the Great Hall with support路 ing sections in the main entrance hall. It is hopa:ithat during the course of the term the exhibition can be displayed at each campus and it is planned that it remain available for future ollege occasions. It is obviously impossible to represent each and every area of the work of the College and the exhibition aims only to give a broad feel of the scope and importance of our work and future potential.

OTHER CELEBR

The week of October 21 is IDtended a a week in which the merger can he celebrate informally as well as formally. IndIvidual Halls of Residence have been encouraged to organise special events and the Studen ' nion is planning festivities on Thursday to tretch well into Friday morning. Why don't you organise something to mark an historic week?

SSISTA T PRI CIPALS TAKE D RESPO SIBI LlTIES At the end of last session two Assistant Principals were appointed: Professor Peter Gahan, based at the Kensington Campus, and John Muir, based at Chelsea, at 552 King's Road. EW CO-ORDI ATI G ROLE Their aim will be to provide a focal point on each campus and, in conjunction with the Site Secretaries (Mrs Judy Staight at Kensington and Mr Gerry Hughes at Chelsea), to ensure the smooth running of all activities on each site. The day-to-day running of the buildings and provision of services will be dealt with by the Site Secretaries - the Assistant Principals will have a complementary role in drawing the local interests together and linking them to the overall life of the College. They are there to inform, and to be informed, about local activities; to receive any comments or worries people may have and represent them as necessary to the College as a whole; to offer a co-ordinating service in bringing staff and students together, particularly socially. It is the hope of both Assistant Principals that there will be a good feeling of community on each of the campuses and that people will be encouraged to visit all the sites regularly and become involved in what each has to offer

EW Co-ORDI ATI G ROLES EW RESPO SIBILITIES In addition to their roles as campus co-ordinators the two Assistant Principals will take responsibilities for forming a coherent College policy in two vitally important areas: overseas liaison and sclIDols liaison. Overseas liaison will be under the direction of Professor Gahan, and Schools Liaison will be Mr Muir's responsibility. In both cases the aim will be to devel!lP a clearly defined and corporate approach in areas of increasing importance. The merger has highlighted the need to bring together all the experience and

UNIVERSITY CONCERN AT PROPOSED PENSION CHANGES The University have voiced serious misgivings on the proposed reform of the Social Security system in a letter to Mr orman Fowler. Citing as the major problems increased administration, emphasis on quick profit to the detriment of long-term investment, pressure on employees to make personal investment decisions in a highly technical area and the failure to attain the objective of weakening institutional control, the University believes that the Green Paper fails to address the real issues and in many significant respects is simply wrong.

KING'S SUCCESS IN CHESS The newly-formed Chess Club of King's College achieved a notable success in 1984-1985 by winning both the Intercollegiate League and the knock-out cup against the other London colleges. The club also entered the National Club Championship and was placed 13th in the country. Professor R F Streater (Mathematics) won a prize for the best score, 6/6, and a cup is in the possession of the College for a year.

4,010 MILES PER GALLO New British Record for King' Car Earlier this summer the King's College car, built by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, won the Shell-Motor Mileage Marathon at Silverstone, setting a new British fuel economy record of 4010 miles per gallon. To those students, staff and occasional outside helpers behind the King's College Marathon project, the fascination engendered by this unique event is self-evident, though not so to the general public. This reflects both the low-key media coverage and its 'once a year' status. That the very successful King's result in the 1985 event reached a wider public was a welcome change, in part probably accounted for by the increasing recourse to young drivers around the age of 11 years old. The Shell-Motor regulation for the Marathon competition are quite simple: ..... continued

The vehicle must also have rear view mirrors, 2 brake, driver e cape acce and a rea onable mechanical structure. It is to the credit of the King's ollege entry over the years that they have normally competed in the 'Specials' section the more demanding prestige event where the extremes of performance in fuel economy terms are found. In 1985 this deliberately 'self-challenging' position reached another high point with their crushing win. Like most competitive achievements, the dramatic win this year involved many 'stories within other stories', but it would be right to acknowledge the major motivation which continues to flow from the long-standing relationship between the College and Ford Motor Company. Ford entered the event for the first time in 1982, in co-operation with the already existent King's effort. This joint entry came third at 180 I mpg. in 19M3 they entered their own vehicle, which was to come second and fmally in 1894 they wonwith a British record of 3803 mpg.

generosity reaping its own reward when the King's vehicle destroyed the opposition (including Ford) in the 1985 event.

Since that first joint entry, King's' I:Bve had to battle on in relative isolation and the team members have, quite naturally, seen Ford as the major competitor to beat. A measure of the friendly rivalry which now exists is that Ford Motor Co have nevertheless continued their partial sponsorship of the King's project up to the present time. This dispassionate

SOCIAL CLUBS Strand Campus ... whilst all around is changing... For all members of King's College (KQC) the present times are full of uncertainty. We are fortunate, therefore that there are some institutions in the College which provide a restful haven from the winds of change. Paramount amongst these is the Club', or to give it its correct title, 'King's College Sports and Social Club', which for more than thirty years has provided the staff of the College with a friendly atmosphere for a lunchtime drink or chat, or a relaxing game of darts or snooker. The Club rooms are situated in 33 Surrey Street on the Strand Campus, and there is a concessionary rate of membership for those working on other campuses, all of whom are welcome to join the Clu b and make full use of the facilit· ies when visiting the Strand. The current membership is £2 per annum (£1 for those not based at the Strand), and this is deducted from the February salary by the Accounts Department.

As a special bonus those joining after 1st October will not have to pay a penny until February! If you wish to apply for membership

please complete the form in the newsletter and send it to the Treasurer, Graham Bates, Chemistry Department, Strand Campus.

Kensington Campus The Social Club is situated on the {;round Floor of the SJA Building and is approached via the ChemistryfMaths entrance. Membership is open to all employees of the College as well as postgraduates and the annual subscription is, at present, SOp. We open for one hour between 1.00pm and 2.00pm and in the evenings from S.30pm to 8.00pm as a minimum, with a longer evening opening being at the discretion of the person doing bar duty. Both lunch and evenings the bar is manned by volunteer club members, working on a rota, which usually means a lunch-time duty once a month and an evening duty once every six weeks. The bar is well stocked, offering a range of keg bitters, lager, spirits, soft drinks, fresh orange juice and coffee. Sandwiches and hot pies are usually available as well as nuts and crisps etc. The bar has seating for approximately 60 people and has two dart boards, snooker table, bar billiards and a video game. The Committee organises evening events at four to six week intervals. Over the past year these have included various discos and live bands, a cocktail evening featuring a limbo dancer, fire-eater and steel band, a Christmas party with three comic acts and a November Sth firework display. In addition, the club runs quiz evenings, darts and snooker matches and a squash ladder. The club's AGM is held in October and a number of the CommittCommittee will be retiring, having served their three years. If anyone is interested in helping to run the club, we would be pleased to hear from them. Also, if they have any views on the type of activities the club offers, we would welcome suggestions.

After relegation at the end of season 1983- 4 from Division One, our fIrst ever season in that league, King's have returned to their winning ways. bad start to the new eason aw us 9th (out of 13) with only two wins in six games. This, however was followed by 13 consecutive "ictories, bringing the team up to fourth place in the division. The last match of the season saw us requiring 3 out of 3 six -a-side game to finish runners-up in that league, I our 3 games to finish champions of the pairs league, and with the possibility of three teams being promoted, a 10 - 3 match victory to gain third place. This all had·to be achieved against the team which was already in third place. At the end of the match we had won all three 6 -a-side games, two pairs games and gained a 10 to 3 victory. Thus we fInished the season third overall in the Second Division, 6-aside Runners pp and Pairs Champions. A brilliant effort after such a bad start. The team for season 1984-85 was:

On the night of Friday June _1, the Trafalgar Darts League, within whi h King' College Social Club ha a team, held its annual Finals . 'ight in the ,'. i J-L The night was a great success, and I have been asked by the league to expre theu thanks to all tho e who made it o. ay than you' to the Students' onion for allowing us to use the . . lf~ thelf lightlIlg team who made it pos ible to see the play going on on the stage; also the Refectory for the marvellous spread of food they provided and the Bar staff who coped so well with the two hundred somewhat thirsty dart players present. On a personal level, a Secretary of the Darts Team, it fell to me to organise the event. This I would have found impossible without the help of many members of the Social Club. Without also the knowledge and patient understanding of Mike Harrington and Keith Vellenowith, the event may not have happened - less still have been the success that it was. The new season has now started and a fixtures list is up in the ocial Club. Matches a,re played on Wednesday nights and all are welcome to come along and watch. Better still, come along and join. It's quite painless, although the same cannot always be said for Thursday moming!

'1 welcome both the tone and the ontent of Sir Keith Joseph' peech to ice-Chancellors.

Publicity for Public Lectures within the College can be arranged through the Inform ation Office on the Strand Campus. I Details of the lecture should be sent to Catherine Davies ext 2179), who is happy to assist with all aspect of publicity for the lecture, both within the College and among the press and general public.

We were very pleased to have his assurance of open mindedness and a willingness to listen and discuss. This was particularly so about ac e s, his recognition of our concern about uruversity pay and his tatement that 'a certain level of funding i a nece ary ondition for maintaining quality'.

Please note, however, that the department arranging the lecture is reioPonsible for booking the rooms both for the lecture and for any reception held before or after the lecture and for making arrangements with the Catering Department for any such reception.

We shall re pond fully to the Green Paper and have been preparing ourselves at the Leicester meeting to do so. We accept the challenge to demonstrate to the public and the taxpayer that money spent on universities is an excellent investment for the future.' A full text of Sir Keith's address is available from the Information Office

EDUC no SECRET RY SPEAKS TO CVCP ducation Secretary Sir Keith Joseph stressed at the VCP meeting in Leicester that he and universities needed to establish shared aims if he were to do justice to their cause. 'The central mes age of the Green Paper ('The Development of Higher Education into the 1990s') is that by and large the higher education system is doing its job, but that as we move into the next decade ome important changes are needed in the interests of the nation's economic and social development, of quality, and of value for the taxpayer's money. I want to see a higher proportion of our young people enjoying the benefits of higher education. The Government' policies for better schools - which I hope command the support of this audience are designed, at least in part, to that end. I want research to flourish. nd I want to see more professional updating and more continuing education of appropriate quality. I believe that the university system at large shares these aims. The challenge we both face is to do all this at a co t to the taxpayer that the taxpayer is willing to afford. ' On future policy, Sir Keith J oseph told the Vice- hancellors and Principals: 'Everything i still to play for, and the ball is in your court'. But he added: 'The case has to be made in some considerable detail, and articulated so that it convinces the public, the holder of my office and the Government as a whole.' Sir Keith discussed several issues raised by the Green Paper, including access to higher education, continuing education, subject balance, science, research, quality, management, pay and resources.
