The Gym i s t o o short 2.) f o r Badminton , and w h i l e the Conoert H a l l i s l o n g enougn, i t i s not h i g h enough. F i n a n c i a l l y t h i s means a grant f o r the Badmington fans t o h i r e e x t e r n a l c o u r t s . 3.) Stage. Stage f r o n t was found not t o conform w i t h L.C.C. f i r e r e g u l a t i o n s . C o n s i d e r a b l e l a s t - m i n u t e a l t e r a t i o n s were required. 4-) Curtains. The C u r t a i n t r a c k s i n the Lounge were hung! i n the wrong p l a c e . Hence the shabby-looking pelmets of some of them. These w i l l be a l t e r e d i n due course. An o r f i c a l day of r e j o i c i n g may be ordered i f t h i s work i s completed i n the present Session. 5. ) Main Door. The screen t o the main doorway was found not t o conform w i t h L.C.C. f i r e regulations. T h i s might e x p l a i n the l o n g delay i n i t s completion. 6. ) R a d i a t o r s . The r a d i a t o r s i n the porch \of the main doorway t o the juad were found not t o work. ( I n any case they only seem t o heat the main quadrangle.) T h i s may i n v o l v e knocking a h o l e i n the west w a l l of the S e n i o r Common Room. 7. ) P r e s i d e n t ' s C h a i r .

I t i s u n l i k e l y that t h i s w i l l ever be c o r r e c t e d .
11.) Magazines. There i s a tendency f o r paper magazines t o get disembowled i n t h e i r journey from the s t u p i d t a b l e p r o v i d e d , t o the f l o o r , and back again t o the t a b l e .

I f t h i s i s due t o "borrowing" by persons unknown, we f i n d i t impossi b l e t o express our contemnt i n p r i n t a b l e language.
12.) Miscellaneous. The d e s i g n e r of the pavement o u t s i d e the lounge has o b v i o u s l y never had p r a c t i c a l experience i n n e g o t i a t i n g s m a l l but unexpected d i f ference3 i n l e v e l s a f t e r i m b i b i n g q u a n t i t i e s of a l e .

There i s no reason why a newsreel can not be made a t I.C. w i t h the h e l p of the Photographic Soc., w i t h support and funds from the r e s t of the Union. The newsreel would be complementary t o the s t i l l s already produoed and 3 0 l d . However i t i s not u s u a l l y p o s s i b l e t o borrow equipment from c o l l e g e departments.
