King's College London (KQC) newsletter

UGC ACTIO The niver ity Grant Committee (UGC) con idered the College' propo als or Cornwall Hou e at a meeting on December 11. On De em ber I ,Sir Peter Swinnerton-Dyer wrote to the ice-ehanellor a follow: The Committee a\ its immediate ta k a being to a k the Government to create the opportunity for the full propo al to be properly conidered. There appear to be two alternative way in which this could be done: a) To dela the deadline for purcha e of the lea e until tbe full propo aJ has been properlye mined. b) To allow King's to purcha e the lea e of Cornwall Hou e, either with money obtained by the aJe of other propertie or with money provided by the GC, in advance of consideration of the full propo al. [ have written to the Secretary of State, drawing his attention to the problem and putting forward these two alternatives.' The Department of the Environment are keen to ee progress in this matter but have indicated that they could be flexible on the deadline, for the lease purcha e, previou ly et at February I 1. There i , however, no doubt of the urgency of the matter and the College now await. a response from the Secretary of State and the GC.

follow academic planning, and our financial planning mu t harmoni e with both. The report submitted to the GC, with the wholehearted upport of the ni erity Court, addre e thi need.

PHYSICAL RA

ALIS

The Report present, in careful and considerable detail. three configurations for rationali ation. Configuration One: Unification of Split Department I t has already been po sible to bring together the Department of Physics, Mathematics, omputing and Biology but no le than even department are still operating on two or more sites; Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Phy iology, Biophy ics, Chemistry, Electrical and Electronic Engineering and Education. A scheme which would bring together the operations of each of these department to one or other of the existing sites was examined and costed. Configuration Two: Unification of Cognate Department Iso examined and co ted was a scheme to allow a more sen ible academic group-

ing of related di clpline . The Strand wa a umed the foeu for rt, Physical Scien e and Engineering and con liguration de i ed to unify Pre- lini al ubject Life Sciences and Edu ation. Configuration Three: Unification of the College The propo al here examined the cont iguration now known as the Thame ide Campus': u ing the Strand a in Con fig. Two, retaining Drury Lane and acquiring and developing Cornwall Hou e for Life Sci~ ence , Pre-clinical Department and ducation. 11 other teaching site and bUildings would be dispo ed of and the re ultant revue et again t development and restructu ring co ts.

ACADEMIC A D FINA CIAL IMPLICA S

Configuration One Although the unification of departments is a fundamental necessity, plans based on thi alone would lead to the division ot medical and dental pre-clinical teaching acros London; a more radical remedy along the lines of Config.Two would be continued inside, p.2

hort ummary of the propo als made in the College ubmis ion to the Court and the UG i given below.

BACKGROU D The niversity of London has carried out a radical and far-reaching re tructuring programme, creating a clear pattern of respon ibility for cientific teaching and re earch. The need to concentrate effort and re ource in cience and engineering was a fundamental reason for the merger of King's, QEC and Chelsea and presents to the newly merged College, and to the niver ity, enormous academic potential for growth. To reali e thi potential rationalisation of our buildings and space must

note from Or Barrie Morgan [ have been appointed a Director of orth mencan Programme in the newly e tabli hed Overseas Student Office to increa e the num ber of merican tudent tudying at King' College and to advise the e student during their time on campus. I am being assisted by Dr Fred rmitage from the Chemistry Department a Senior Advi er, orth American Programme. We are aiming to increa e our enrolment of American undergraduates, most of whom will be in their junior (third) year, from about 80 to about 200. However, this is a much more daunting ta k than it might appear, owing to the academic profile of the College. Mo t American students wish to tudy the humanitie and social cience : we cannot cater for the latter demand while our Arts Facu[ty is relatively sma[1. The bulk of our Junior Year Abroad OYA) students are in three department: Eng[i h, Hi tory and Philosophy. These departments are unable to absorb many more students if they are to integrate them fully with degree student. We are, therefore, looking to expand numbers in science and engineering. Expansion in the e areas will be difficult. There are not the obvious advantage in tudying Comparative Anima[ Physiology in Eng[and that there are in studying Shake peare or British History; science students worry (wrongly) that study abroad will reduce their chance of entering medical chool; science courses are progressive to a far greater degree than humanities and social science course, 0 that a student may have to pick up very specific 'building block' courses during study abroad. 1 am convinced that the only way we are going to expand the lY A pre ence in science departments is to develop close academic contacts with selected American department~. Once members of the academic taff in these departments are aware of our cour e structure and content, and how these courses here may be included in the course of study for an American degree, [ believe an increa e in tudent interest will follow. But to pursue thi 1 need your help. If you have clo e contacts with a co[league in a good American science or engineering department, will you please drop me a line with details. A personal approach from a respected colleague and researcher i far more likely to pay dividend than an approach from me. I would make one other plea for help from all colleagues. Part of my job is to maintain contact with study abroad adviser at the major institution. However, I cannot hope to visit and make personal contact with them all. If you are visiting the nited States and would be prepared to vi it one or two institutions on behalf of the

College will you plea e let me know. Some money i availab[e to 'top up' your travel grants if we request you to travel to place other than those you planned to vi it.

A Working Party set up jointly by the Advi ory Board for Research Council , the Computer Board, and the niver ity Grants Committee recommended among other things that a Cray X-MP /4 computer at a co t of £[3 million should be obtained for advanced re earch exploiting supercomputing techniques not just in cience and engineering but in other academic fields as well. After a period of uncertainty about its export from the USA, the computer was delivered to the Rutherford App[eton Laboratory at hort notice on 3 December 19 6. It is now being commissioned. SERC hoped to start acceptance testing on [2 January 1987. While thi i in progress, selected users will be invited to adapt their programs for the X-MP computer so that both they and SERC can gain operational experience before tarting a full ervice. If all goes well, they hope to launch the ervice on Monday 2 February [987. The scale of funding for the Cray X-MP computer means that this powerful research facility must be brought to bear on the problem for which it is intended. The first step in this process is to provide information on the ervices which it will furnish. SERC have issued a first Cray newsletter through a number of channels. Despite distributing this issue widely, they may inadvertently have mis ed people who ought to be included.

needed to rectify this. The net cost of this scheme would be £8M with an annual recurrent saving of £ 1M. The payback time is estimated at 9 years with a resultant annual deficit of £400K. Configuration Two Unification of pre-clinical departments

could be achieved but it would of necesity be on the ite furthest from KCSMD, al 0 eparating their teaching and research from related disciplines in the Life Science. cademic value for money i not a hie cd. The net co t would be £ 3M with an annual recurrent saving of £ 1M. The payback time exceeds 32 year and bring an annual defi it of £500K. Configuration Three This proposal is the only clear way to reali the niversity's 'five science sites' policy and to reap the full benefits of the federal restru tu ring exercise; undoubtedly the be t academic value for money. et costs of £ I0.5 M are balanced by an annual saving of £2.5K. Payback time i 8 years with an annual surplus of £ 1M.

CONCLUSION The College's belief that the 'Thameside Campus' pre ents the only way forward for academic growth is unequivocally supported by the detailed investigations of this Report. Academically and financially it is far and away the best value for money and the Report proposes that the College be allowed to take the first and now most urgent, steps towards implementation.

FURTHER DETAILS Full copies of the Report are available for con ultation in the Secretary's Office on the Strand, the Secretary' Office at KCSMD, in the offices of the Assistant Secretaries at Kensington and helsea, in the Information Office and in the main Libraries on each site. Staff consulting the full document should bear in mind that, in order to pre ent clear costed options, models of academic activity were used; such-illustrative models cannot attempt to exactly represent reality and will be unavoidably nawed. Actual use of pace may be su bstantially different and will not be determined until full con ultation through the College's normal planning machinery can take place. Colleagues hould also be aware that the document i aimed ultimately at authorities which will eriously doubt an un ubstantiated proposition that physical consolidation is essential to the College's academic prosperity: after all, they will argue, several civic universitie do exce[lent work despite physical disunity. The ca e for con olidation is more powerfully and per uasively made by comparing a range of apparent possibilities and demon trating the costs and benefits which now from them: Configurations One and Two above are neither presented nor accepted by the College a workable options.

K IGHTHOOD FOR KI G'S MA Antony Victor Driver graduated from the Mechanical Engineering Department at King's in 1946. He went on to become a Director of BP Oil Limited, from which he retired in 19 O. In the Queen's Birthday Honours li t, he received a Knighthood for hi contribution to the ational Health Service. He is currently Chairman of the South West Thames Regional Health Authority.

PHARMACOLOGY FITTEST? NOT BY A LONG WAY Concerning the Fittest Department in the College (Comment, December), we note that members of the Pharmacology Department consider themselves to be supreme. Running afficionados may have noticed that in fact the Pharmacology Department must take third place after the Departments of Physiology and Microbiology. Both these departments also had teams in the Sunday Times National Fun Run 1986 and both teams finished in higher placings than either of the Pharmacology teams. The Physiology Department takes first position in the College rankings with tl)eir team the Kensington Campers which finished 224th out of a total of 1772 qualifying teams. This team was led by Georgina Price, and starred John Haslam, Sue Holly, Paul orman (all Physiology), Jim Butler (Biology) Lind ay Elliott and aroline Green (Administration), Fleur Moodie (Microbiology), Ali Nobar (Chemistry) and Gwynn Thomas (co-opted). They achieved a total of 2 Golds 4 Silvers and 4 Bronzes. The Microbiology team, Marian's Miscellaneous Microbes, came in a reasonably close second at 430th. These placings compare with the 597th and 761 st positions for the Pharmacology team.

either can Pharmacology claim the fitness prize on the basis of past years' successes, because the Microbiology Department has also had a team in the ational Fun Run in each of the past three year. I n each year the Microbiology team lla achieved a higher finishing position than the Pharmacology team Having thus et the record traight about the Fun Run (unle s there are further a yet unrecorded team to report) let's look forward to further running events in 19 7. The Sunday Times Fun Run this year will clearly be hotly contested, but what of other event? The London Marathon i to be run thi year on Sunday 10th May, and one of the lecturers in the Microbiology Department, Dr. Paul Markham, is being sponsored for the same charity as that which the Physiology and Microbiology Fun Run team supported, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (S.L.E) or L P S for short, which i a sub-group of Arthritis Care. Lupus is an autoirnmune di ease, once thought to be rare but frequently fatal, now known to be more widespread but also more wide-ranging in its effects and severity. Paul would welcome any offers of spon orship or straight donations for this charity. Money raised will be split equally between research and support for sufferers.
