Much i s wr; t ten i n FELIX about the clubE and s o c i e t i e s p.f th*? College, and we r e a d i l y welcome reports on a c t i v i t i e s . But other a c t i v i t i e s exist at I.C. i.i*ides those sponsored by clubs: even L! una Hals no l n t e r S s t s catered f o r by a Colle,-e cluh - and surely t h i s must be rare - one i s s t i l l a member of a large club - Imperial College Union. This i s p r i m a r i l y a s o c i a l e.'.ub, and, besides providing eating and d r i n k i n g f a c i l i t i e s , i t provides a means whereby students can get to know each other and discuss matters other than the subject which they are studying, they can thus better t h e i r knowledge of the world i n which we l i v e , and be bett?r equipped to go i n t o t h i s outside world; i n other words, they obtain a f u l l e r education. This i s not the only means of educating oneself; experience, though a hard master, i s thoroughly e f f i c i e n t . But we should cons i d e r ourselves fortunate that we, as students, have the opportunity to ease our path. I t might be said that one can obtain the benefits of s o c i a l intercourse elsewhere than at the Union. P e r f e c t l y true, but surel y f a c i l i t i e s at I.C. are second to none, and one's everyday laboratory or workshop companions can provide a stepping-stone to further exchange of ideas, so broadening one's outlook. At the prsent moment, the majority of I.C. students are so widely scattered over London, that many are discouraged from us ng •he Unior, because they l i v e or have digs -o f a r away. The increased Hostel accommodation w i l l ease t h i s somewhat, but, of course, the i d e a l , but unfortunately impracticable e o l u t i o r , would be a f u l l y r e s i d e n t i a l College. U n t i l this Eldorado i s reached, a f u l l U n i v e r s i t y education at I.C. w i l l always be beset wl th d i f f i c u l t i e s to be overcoir.t.

Dear S i r , I do not know whether Mr. Dixon i s accurate i n saying that music lovers at I.C. w i l l be found at U.L.U. by the score, but I am quite sure that the f a c i l i t i e s f o r music lovers at t h i s collage axe outstandingly good. They include lunch-hour r e c i t a l s , General Study l e c t u r e s , and a record lending-library. The Imperial College Choir i s at present about seventy f i v e strong and need not fear comparison with the L.u.M.s. Sopranos and contraltos coming to the Choir from other Colleges have t o l d me that they have joined t h the I.C. Choir i n preference to the L.U.M.S. A madrigal group has been started t h i s term for those who wish to learn more of the "Golden Age of B r i t i s h Music".

Mr.Joe Cooke opened the motion by considering that we should be worthy of a b u i l d i n g comparable to our status, as the loading technological c o l lage i n the country. Instead of a modem b u i l ding we were saddled with on* where I n s u f f i c i e n t thought had been exercised i n the design. The lounge reminded him of the waiting room at Paddington as i t appeared to be the only route between the refectory and bar, and the Concert H a l l , which was l i t t l e better than many v i l l a g e h a l l s , was both too long and too narrow with the resul t that tha stage was too f a r away f o r those seated at tha back of the auditorium. In opposing the motion Mr. Jim Anderson explained that tha o r i g i n a l p l u s war* drawn up i n , 1927 f o r only 1000 students, but wars shelved u n t i l 1953 when various student committees were asked to suggest amendments. Ha asked the House to consider that i n the general expansion of I.C. with r e f e c t o r i e s and lounges not only centred about tha Union but In Princer Cardans and on the
With a l l t h i s a c t i v i t y hare at I.e., I do not believe i t i s necessary f o r any I.C. man to go to Bloomsbury i n search of music. Yours etc. G.G.Pope. (Chairman, I.C.Choir)
P R A I S E — AT LAST I Dear S i r , Your correspondent g.R.I.(Elderly Registered Nurse?) sets out several points of objection to our cat; I cannot leave them unanswered. He f i r s t refers to the dog-eared and d i l a p i d ated condition of h i s copy. I suspect that i t waa second hand - i f he bothers to buy b i s own t h i s week he should f i n d i t i n the same p r i s t i n e and u n s u l l i e d condition as that of most members of the Sales S t a f f . To h i s second point,I would reply that i f tha gentleman cannot affor d a dictionary he w i l l f i n d one i n most public l i b r a r i e s . Most people at I.C. have passed School C e r t i f i c a t e English, and t h i s standard ahould be s u f f i c i e n t to enable one to r e a l i s e that seventy words Is not a long sentence outside "Comic Cuts" and "Dally Mirror". The medication of " F e l i x " would be superfluous. The modern trend In t o i l e t paper l a towards s o f t ness and to use " F e l i x " as such would cause d i s comfort and possibly damage to the user ( c f . Gargantua).
NEW "This House i s disappointed i n the design of the new Union B u i l d i n g " was the motion put before the House by the chairman, Mr.T.Smith, on Tuea. day, 5th, March.
Instrumentalists are catered f o r by the Orchestra, which i s taking part i n " T r i a l by Jury" t h i s term, and by chamber music groups. Coaching i n chamber music i s available and those players of s u f f i c i e n t l y high standard are encouraged to play at the lunch hour concerts. Several members of the I.C.Musical Society have taken part i n chamber music concerts at U.L.U.
Imperial i n s t i t u t e s i t e , the b u i l d i n g should ba regarded as a clubhouse. Mr. Fineh, seconding the notion, complained he s t i l l waited 20 minutes f o r lunch wherever he went. The Union was a "bodged-up job" with two storeys stuck on top of the old b u i l d i n g . Seconding the opposition, Mr. Dick Saunders pointed out that most rooms were multipurpose and hence could not be expected to be as comfortable as I f only designed f o r ona purpose. Prom tha f l o o r Mr. A l l e n suggested that a l though the b u i l d i n g d i d net f i t l a with the Roderic K i l l b u i l d i n g I t s t i l l had s good basis design. Mr. Jarmin complained that there wars no paraboloid staircases, while Mr. L a r k l s suggested we exchanged our b u i l d i n g with ULD. Mr. Samacta was surprised that the proposition wanted aora corridors since these were both draughty and unsightly. Mr. A l - K a a l n who has • phobia against s i t t i n g In long narrow rooms such ss the lounge, regretted that the b u i l d i n g was sot b u i l t In the same functional s t y l e as the Roderic H i l l building On a d i v i s i o n the motion was carried by 40 votes to 16.
F i n a l l y , may I o f f e r you my congratulations on keeping up such a high standard i n your paper; In humour, serious comment, and accurate reporting I don't think any collage newspaper can beat I t . Yours etc., P .McLean. THAT BAR ACAH1 Sear S i r , Thar* have recently been many speculations as to whether tha bar w i l l be ktpt open. t i l l 11p.m. as i t i s licensed to do so. I think I t would be h e l p f u l i f some o f f i c i a l comment could ba made on t h i s subject, e s p e c i a l l y In v i s * of tha f a c t that a l l the 'locals' are now open t i l l that t i n s . Yours e t c . , i D.Butters. Mr. Kitchener s t a t e s t h a t the Bar i s kept open t i l l 11 p.m. i f and whan the occasion demands e.g. on the n i g h t s of a dinner. Otherwise, i t i a more troubl e than i t i s worth t o keep open, p a r t i c u l a r l y as most people ocme i n only f o r about 20 minutes before d o s i n g time, regardless of when t h i s i s .
