Wadham defeats I C by Tony Firshman J ) E F E A T for I.C. by 175 to 150 points against Wadham College, Oxford, in a close-fought round of University Challenge, and a cup of terrible coffee were tirt rewards of the thirty I.C. students who travelled through the fog to Manchester to support their team at t h e recording of the quiz at the Granada Headquarters. The I.C. team was composed of Darshan Pandya (Chem. Eng. PG), Mrs Margaret Heraty (Maths 3), Derek Boothman, capt. (Physics 3), and John Chester (Chem. 2), who were chosen last term by a selection procedure which received little publicity. The reserve, Ke'th Cavanagh, also accompnied the team, but was not called upon. :

A t Ford we know that quality in cars depends on the calibre of men. The pace of your career with us depends on that calibre as surely as the speed of your car depends on the power built into it. Ford build more and more cars, trucks -and tractors, need more and more men. Tne headquarters of this expanding company is in Brentford in Essex but ford is going ahead in London, Dagenham, Liverpool and Swansea. We need A L L kinds of graduates—mechanical engineers and scientists, for design and development; arts men, scientists and economists. Our training programmes are tailored to suit individual needs. Engineers may choose a two year graduate apprenticeship or shorter training and appointment within a year; mere are courses for finance trainees and graduate trainees—those interested in sales, purchasing, industrial relations and marketing. Graduates will find Ford rewarding! Salaries being at £960 per annum minimum. Most arts and economics graduates will be earning £1,150 in less than a year—engineers get an increase of at least £100 at the end of each year of their apprenticeship. From then acceleration depends on you. Promotion at Ford is traditionally from within and graduates have accelerated quickly here. Management Development operates to make sure they can. There's much to interest the graduates at Ford. See your Appointments Secretary, or write for details to J S Smale, Room 1/178, Ford Motor Company, Warley, Brentwood, Essex, who will be visiting

ICI Mond Division manufactures more than half-a-million tons a year of organic chemicals, many of them based on petroleum feedstocks, as well as the traditional products such as chlorine and caustic soda. Capacity is being increased by a capital investment programme which is currently running at more than £20,000,000 a year, and in everything we are doing chemical engineers are key men. To match the increasing technological complexity of our processes we are particularly interested in recruiting capable and enthusiastic young men to work on process design and development in its widest sense, from research to full-scale production. Effective use is made of such new techniques as the use of mathematical models in process kinetics, scale-up and control studies, and the application of computers to the design and optimisation of process flowsheets and equipment. Young men are deliberately given wide experience and substantial responsibility which can fit them for the many senior jobs to be filled in the Division in the next 10 years. If you wish to learn more about us, chemical engineers from Mond Division will be visiting you shortly and can be contacted through your own careers advisers. If this proves impossible, please contact:—

" T h e a u d i e n c e w a s less t h a n h e deserved, but as u s u a l w e found t h a t this o n l y m a d e t h e d i s c u s s i o n ufterwards more rewarding. H e talke d of m a n y t h i n g s : o n t h e n e e d t o l i v e l i f e b y a series of p r o v i s i o n a l hypotheses to a v o i d r i g i d p l a n u m ' ; , a b o u t the care w e m u s t take i n o ur attempts to help the d e v e l o p i n g w o r l d without disrupting their traditional life.

The Christians insist there have; the humanist claims that m o r a l i t y is culturaly determined, largely if not been wholly. C e r t a i n l y there has moral invention; but to accept historical relativism is to Dow the a head to brute insensate f o r c e s superstition humanists should have

Today's children will grow up in a world that Is being remade before their eyes. They will have a wider range of opportunities. They will also face problems calling for new solutions.

Teachers have greater influence on future generations than any other profession.

When will you own your own house? Earlier in life than your father did, when plans to build 500,000 new homes annually come to fruition in a few years time. One thing is certain. N o industry is going to expand more dramatically in the next 20 years than the building industry. It's got to, or Britain will be one decaying and overcrowded slum. Take Wates. They are among the biggest builders and civil engineers in the country. But, more important, they are among the most imaginative and forward-looking. In the next 15 years, Wates intend to double their productivity. T o do this, they need graduates in science, technology and the arts. So does every firm in the country, but the point about Wates is that their programme is going to create a lot of room at the top. And Wates will always, for preference, promote within the company. M E E T WATES A T IMPERIAL C O L L E G E , F E B R U A R Y 18th See your Appointments Board now and get an appointment to meet Wates on the above date.

I.C. started this match against the Cup holders in excellent style, combining well and moving the ball quickly and accurately from man to man... the forward line continually broke through the Kings defence and Hopwood was unlucky to see his header go just wide from a Crawford free kick. Such was the pressure exerted by I.C., due mainly to the wing forwards snapping up chances, that it took King's ten minutes to launch their first attack. K i n g ' s w e r e l u c k y t o s u r v i v e this early period, b u t once they h a d settled d o w n their football matched that of I.C.'s.

A by B I L L J E N K I N S S H R U G G I N G O F F the effects of a four week lay off and the -absence of a key player for almost two thirds of the match, I.C. brought a damp and gloomy Harlington to light with a final five minutes of superb rugby. During this period they scored two tries, giving them victory over L. S . E . by 9-3 and a place in the semi-final of the Gutteridge Cup. F o r the greater p a r t of the afternoon the g a m e h a d b e e n exceeding'y drab a n d consisted of l o n g periods of i n d e c i s i v e p l a y p u n c t u a t e d by >ver o p t i m i s t i c p e n a l t y s h o t s a t g o a l .
