STAG PARTY STOMP A WOMAN LOOKS AT I.C.
A recent a r t i c l e i n Sennet indicated that the young l a d i e s of Bedford and Westfield on t h a i r own admission worked harder than t h e i r counterparts at U.C. and King's. I f t h i s , as would seem to he the case, i s d i r e c t l y related to the r a t i o of men to women i n the college, I.C.W.A. theoreti c a l l y do no work at a l l . Fortunately t h i s i s not the case, and i n fact they have to study hard i n order to "keep t h e i r end upV against not inconsiderable competition. In the words of a well-known quotation,hovever,| " i t a l l depends on what you mean by" - work. The odd jobs they are called upon to do i s out of a l l proportion to t h e i r members, and they are, as a rule, very w i l l i n g to turn t h e i r hands to any sort of work which the men i n t h e i r wisdom think could be done better by the ladies. Thay provide an active female element i n a l l the clubs which require a mixed membership (not to mention soma that do not), and i n addition run teams f o r most sports, not to mention organising t h e i r own exclusive s o c i a l functions.
Much of the s o c i a l l i f e of the College depends therefore on the support of the women and aach one has to bear an active part i n several d i f ferent s o c i a l and a t h l e t i c societies . Unfortunately, out of the s i x t y or more members of I.C.W.A. only about h a l f do take an active part i n extra-academic l i f e , and pressure f a l l s even more heavily on the w i l l i n g shoulders of the other h a l f . Surely every ICWArlan realised before she arrived that she would be well i n the minority' at I.C. and and should have been prepared to take! a f u l l part i n the s o c i a l l i f e of the College witb{ out which no university education i s complete. This c r i t i c i s m has often been l e v e l l e d at the men as well as the women, but i n a college the size of I.C. the male contingent can afford to carry a few passengers, but I.C.W.A. CANNOT and i t should be the privilege as well as the duty of every member of I.C.W.A. to take advantage of her unique p o s i t i o n i n the College.
In t h i s way the Women's Association could become a force to be reckoned with i n the Union which would be disproportionate to i t s s i z e , and those who complain that women'a interests i n the College are neglected would, by t h e i r support of meetings and other a c t i v i t i e s , be instrumental i n rectifying this situation.

So f a r as I was concerned t h i s function was a great success, i f only because I had the grati f i c a t i o n of seeing men being the wallflowers for oncei Biased as I am, I can only give a personal account of the evening. I am no connoisseur of jazz, but I thought the playing of both the I.C. Jazz Band and Bobby Mlckleburgh and h i s Bobcats excellent. For the men who had to s i t out because of the lack of g i r l s i t seemed no great hardship for them to have to s i t and l i s t e n , indeed many of them seemed to prefer i t that way. It was unfortunate that the hop coincided with the combined performance of the Musical and Dramatic Societies, and t h i s probably accounted f o r the absence of I.C.W.A. Being their only representative present, I can assure them that i t was a function well worth attending - i f one i s prepared to pay the price of being a physical wreck fo the next few days. R.K.

ANY On January 9th. or t h i r year the f i r s t informal dance was held i n the Concert H a l l by the I.C.U. Entertainments Committee, and since that date a further seven dances have been held there. Tne hop -requenters i n the College w i l l have realized that none of these have followed the old style of the "Bob-hops" with dancing to records only. Instead, dancing has alwaya been to a band, and the price of admission has been 2/-. Even so the I.C. dances are s t i l l anongst the cheapest i n the University. Although the attendance at the Saturday night hops has increased i r e a t l y over the past few months, the Entertainments Committee i s the f i r s t to realiz e that there i s always plenty of room f o r improvement. However, without your help we cannot make these improvements f o r I t i s upon your c r i t i c i s m and advice that we must base our hop p o l i c y . We are here to give you, the members of I.C., the kind of hops that you want, so I am asking you today to put yourself in our shoes for f i v e minutes and decide what, i f any, alterations you would make to the hops. Write your suggestions down on paper and post them to Richard H . T . Garnett through the Union, Hostel, of the Mines l e t t e r rack, R . H . T . C .

Dear S i r ,
Dear S i r ,
Tour "Yiewpoint" i n the l a s t but one issue prompts me to beg space to comment. Perhaps f i r s t I may be permitted to thank the author f o r an unexpected compliment,' i f I knew the gentleman I might be tempted to buy him a drink.
This week, FELIX received a viewpoint which many people would consider p o l i t i c a l i n nature. FELIX i s e s s e n t i a l l y n o n - p o l i t i c a l and nonr e l i g i o u s , as i s Imperial College Union, and as a question of p o l i c y was thought to be at stake, At the an E d i t o r i a l Board meeting was c a l l e d . Board meeting i t was decided that the columns of FELIX should be open to views on anything which p r i m a r i l y concerns students, including views on p o l i t i c a l and r e l i g i o u s topics - provided that FELIX i t s e l f d i d not express an opinion, and that writers' names were published as w e l l . Each case, i t was thought, i f of a p o l i t i c a l or r e l i g i o u s nature, should be considered on i t s own merits. The p a r t i c u l a r viewpoint i n question, the Board thought, did not have as i t s basic subject a topic that p r i m a r i l y commented on student l i f e , and therefore we have not printed i t . With the above reservations, controversial viewpoints on a l l topics - even E d i t o r i a l s - are always welcome. FELIX wishes to make i t clear, however, that writers' views do not necessarily coincide with i t s own or those of the Union, and each writer's name must be published i n f u l l . -
We congratulate Mr. save Briggs of Maths. 1 on being the only person to point out to us l a s t week's "deliberate mistake. " What i s i t ? The clue i s , ' I t w i l l cause f i l i n g systems no end Ho prizes are offered. of trouble.'
"Dear S i i What i s happening to the I.C. Student? Several representatives from Industry have expressed grave concern about the type of person who graduates here and claim that the present student has but too narrow an outlook on l i f e . Who i s to blame f o r t h i s state of a f f a i r s ? I f i n d i t very hard to believe that a l l the students here are turning i n t o brown baggers. The f a u l t must l i e i n the fact that the courses here are f a r too f u l l and have reached the stage of becoming ridiculous. Because a few people tchoose to work to the exclusion of everything else, i t i s nonsensical f o r the s t a f f to take t h e i r amount of work as a standard f o r everyone else. Indeed most students, are now being discouraged by the s t a f f from Joining any I.C.. Club or Society at a l l ! ! What we must have i s a cut and dried t o t a l of work which has to be done i n order to obtain the necessary degree marks, but at the same time the student should be allowed s u f f i c i e n t leeway i n order to broaden h i s outlook. I t has been suggested that the college,particularly the drawing o f f i c e , should be closed on a Wednesday afternoon. This would allow more people t o participate i n college a c t i v i t i e s , but would curb the opportunities of these people who r e a l l y want to work and gain extra c r e d i t . I f the present s i t u a t i o n i s allowed t o continue we may as w e l l disband the Unions, turn .he new Union Building into a mass of lecture rooms, and rename the College "The Imperial Technical College". v

To a considerable extent Mr. Dixon's observations are v a l i d , although I beg to d i f f e r on a couple of points. In the f i r s t place I doubt i f i t i a true that many of I.C.'s i n d i v i d u a l participants i n U.L. a f f a i r s f e e l they have been driven away - t h i s c e r t a i n l y did not happen to me. Indeed, my connection with U.L. came about through I.C. Soccer Club when i t had 5 regular members of the University XI. ( i n the l a s t and only cup winning season) and although now I am unable to p a r t i c i p a t e a c t i v e l y i n the I.C. Club, f o r a long time J. found a middle way of contributing to both. Secondly, the assumption that "the chief function of U.L.U. i s to organise i n t e r - C o l legiate sport" i s quite wrong. Whilst t h i s may be true to a greater extent f o r other a c t i v i t i e s , on the a t h l e t i c side the primary concern of U.L.U. i s to f i e l d teams representing the Univ e r s i t y , and here the operative p r i n c i p l e Is the whole and not part of i t l Too few r e a l i s e that a University i s a body of considerable influence by i t s very nature, and t h i s i s supplemented by p r a c t i c a l l y a l l of U.L. sport being senior In status, and some of i t i n t e r national. There i s nowhere else where a sportsman can more e a s i l y play too way to being under the eyes of Selectors; I f only players could r e a l i s e i t and having done so, do something about I t (and get a degree) t h e i r future i s assured. This might well be worth consideration at a time when rather more sausages i n identi c a l skins are to be turned-out of our South Kensington factory. We might also ponder upon whether winning, which i s synonymous with success, I S also synonymous with progress, and whether i t i s r e a l l y true that there i s a Union and Hostel " e l i t e of untouchables". Some unfortunate has to be a Union o f f i c e r and may want to l i v e i n the Hostel, but few would care to do so i f I t war* widely accepted that a s l u r was associated with t h i s status. Why doesn't someone expose the self-made "mystery" of tha Hostel Selection process and scotch the pretenders who f e e l that they hold the key to an individuals a b i l i t y to aucceed or f a l l with h i s application? Having done so, then the most active body i n the Union might wall be prepared to be lass clandestine In t h e i r e f f o r t a to seek a broader University education by p a r t i c i p a t i o n both at Kensington and Bloomsbury, Harlington and Motspur Park.

Certainly I.C. i s onesided, though I believe that a l a r g e l y technological college produce* more acceptable members of tha community than a predominantly arte college. Certainly, mora women at the college would be a good thing, both f o r I.C.V.A. and the 'sexually starved neurotics', as I.C.'s men were described In •Felix' by one young lady. Incidentally nobody has yet written a l e t t e r r e f u t i n g t h i s description. However, with over two thousand students, Imperial Collage, together with two or three other colleges i n the University, i s comparable i n s i z e with many p r o v i n c i a l u n i v e r s i t i e s , and i s b i g enough to be l a r g e l y self-contained with respect to University a c t i v i t i e s . Apart from i t a mixed membership U.L.U. Is comparable i n many ways to the union* of the major colleges; and I wonder, f o r example, bow many people i n tha University knew the name of the U.L.U.President before the advent of) 'Sennet'. The University of London Is unique, became* of i t s s i z e and the wide separation of many of the colleges, and hence U.L.U. i s also a unique I n s t i t u t i o n whose functiSns should be Just those with which the college unions cannot adequately deal. This should include the organisation of Intercollege a c t i v i t i e s catering f o r minority interests, providing union f a c i l i t i e s f o r tha smaller colleges, and a meeting place for students of d i f f e r e n t f a c u l t i e s where t h i s cannot be achieved i n the college concerned, e.g. a t I.C. and many of the medical schools. Regarding "the r e s t r i c t i v e attitude of t b * Union e l i t e " , I think I t i s almost inevitable that with so l i t t l e hostel accommodation, and the existence of t h * '22', Links, Chaps, and other clubs, a c l i q u i s h attitude w i l l e x i s t , although t h i s i n i t s e l f i s not overmuch to worry about s i n e * any "potential leaders" i n the c o l lege are u n l i k e l y to concern themselves exclus i v e l y with such cliques. I t i s perhaps relevant to quote here the words of on* renowned bcers w i l l e r who complained " i f you are one of t b * boy* and you get drunk - you're a good chap, but I f you're not one of the boys and you've had too much to drink, then you're a drunken Idlotl" Perhaps the greatest f a u l t with I.C. i s that i t I s the. * agree that matter* and not tha unive r s i t y education so that there are not enough people who afford to wast* (academically) t h e i r t i n * at collage. However I believe that anybody who r e a l l y wants a u n i v e r s i t y education can get i t at Imperial Collag*. Tours etc., F.Peacock.
