WELCOMED GUILDS On the evening of Friday, October 15th, the Guilds Freshers assembled i n the Upper Dining H a l l for t h e i r annual b u f f e t i n g and welcome from the Guilds Union. Your correspondent who, since h i s t i c k e t said "7.00 f o r 7.30", thought he would a r r i v e at 7.30, missed the l i t t l e party where the p r i n c i p a l speakers were strengthening themselves with sherry and port. Instead, he a r r i v e d at 7.36 and found that the Freshers were up to standard since most of the food and free beer had already vanished. Several well-known second and even t h i r d year 'freshers' were a l s o there. These gentlemen d i d not seem to be so interested i n the food as the genuine freshers; rather they showed t h e i r experience by s t r a t e g i c grouping around the b a r r e l s . The President, Andy Levins, clad i n h i s robes of o f f l o e , Introduced himself- and the Guilds Spanner (whioh i s not tho o r i g i n a l totem pole) to the assembly. Professor Hewitt proposed the h e a l t h of the Dean, Professor Pippard. Both, rather n a t u r a l l y , reminded the Fresher3 that they shoujd mix i n a l i t t l e work with t h e i r Union a c t i v i t i e s . Professor Pippard said that f o r the f i r s t time Guilds r e g i s t e r had topped the 1000 mark and he wanted to see 1000 on the f i n a l pass l i s t . Kim Ash proposed the toast of the-guests, to which Dr. Sparkes r e p l i e d . He dealt at some length with the proposed College extensions, and made a big h i t when he said that not only the students were aware of the shortage of women undergraduates at Guilds. I f anybody could f i n d some suitable candidates, several members of the s t a f f , i n c l u d i n g Dr. Sparkes, would be pleased to give them encouraging interviews. Alec Praser proposed the toast to the Freshers and t o l d them that they should mix i n some Union a c t i v i t i e s with t h e i r work. He reminded the Dean that people do not only sometimes f a i l t h e i r l a t . Year exams, f o r example, he himself was t r y i n g h i s Part I I again! The o l d hands i n i t i a t e d the Freshers i n t o tne meaning of 'a Boomalaka•, and then those who were s t i l l t h i r s t y removed downstairs to begin the r e a l business of the evening. In no time at a l l the Bar was quickly f i l l e d with the sounds of singing. As time went on, your correspondent remembers less and l e s s - perhaps thankfully. Although the o r i g i n a l i t y and wide general knowledge of one of the Freshers from Manchester should be valuable to Guilds, he seemed to know at leas* one new verse to a l l the songs. At 11.00 the b a r shut to make I t s e l f presentable f o r the morrow, and the party removed i t s e l f f o r another Boomalaka on the Tennis Courts, and then on to the Royal College of Art Hop i n Cromwell Road. But that i s another story

CLUB

RALLY

Last Sunday the Freshers' Rally was held i n the r u s t i c atmosphere of Matching i n i&sex. On a r r i v a l at the aerodrome which was to be used as a testing ground, the captain of the club met a farmer i n possession who clained the vest a i r f i e l d , and denied the club the use of i t . Shortly afterwards, the representatives of the Ferd Motor Company Joined Tony Holt and the farmer, intent an high speed t r i a l s . As i f that was not enough, the Navy and former number two came upon the scene} the former used the place for storing oak for HMS "Victory", whilst the l a t t e r wanted to grace h i s Sheep on the runways. In a state of despair, the club o f f i c e r s celled on the l o c a l constabulary, and found to their r e l i e f that the Club HAD the a i r Ministry consent to use the f i e l d . Share was an excellent entry, ranging from a competitor In h i s father's R i l e y to a Bentam which was given a hasty de-coke at lunch-time, and, as the l a s t bolt was tightened the parched driver sew the "White Hart" close on the ssroke of two. She f i e l d was divided into two, one h a l f "taking the driving tests i n the morning and motoring round the t h i r t y f i v e point-to-point i n the afternoon, whilst the other h a l f reversed tfeis proccedure. There were seven tests, of which f i v e had to ue "• completed; these included "Cold" s t a r t , regularity wheel changing, slow r i d i n g , b l i n d f o l d driving, parking, acceleration and braking, and garaging tests. Due to the kind offer of the owner, our reporter traversed the point-to-point on the p i l l i o n of » Sunbeam, and i n h i s endeavour to show how well he could map reed, he navigated the vehicle down a mud track, over a tiny foot-bridge and across* a fallow f i e l d onto a road which shouldn't have been there. Many people stayed after tea to take part i n the unig.ua combination of an egg-end-spoon race with the Grand Prix with Hunt-the-Thimble, the thimble being a Marshal i n a tree or a d i t c h or *>von the pub. At seven o'clock the day ended, and a l l adjou -rhed to discuss the mere intimate d e t a i l s of the most successful Rally for some time. •these result s were issued provisionallys l> R.A.

Sir, There have been three b o n f i r e hope a t Harlington , and each has been marred by i n j u r y and damage caused by fireworks thrown on to the dance floor.
