B u t it helps A degree helps, because in the Royal Navy today, a degree count;. As a graduate you are eligible to enter the Royal Navy as a Seaman, Engineer, Supply and Secretariat or Instructor Officer.

Mind you, there's more to it than being academic.

The work is demanding, is certainly different, and calls for intelligence as well as education; for character as well as a degree. A s an Engineer Officer, you have the responsibility for the efficiency and success of startlingly advanced equipment: the complex electronic heart of every fighting ship for example.

Or you could be working with nuclear reactors, gas turbines, computers and so on. O n the other hand, as -a Seaman Officer you could have your own command in your late twenties.

Promotion prospects are excellent. Y o u have an exciting, varied life, with world-wide travel, sport, and- enjoy a high professional status.

Above all you're involyed in what is perhaps the most important job i s the world: front line preservation of peace.

UiJrerjity Cadetjhljw are open to young men between 17J and 23; men either about to go to University or C A T . or those already doing a full time

course. Y o u could have your fees paid and draw officer's pay and allowances.

Acquaintance visits. To give you a taste of what life is like in the Royal Navy you can attend a 7-week workshop course held at.the Royal Naval Engineering College, Plymouth during the summer vacaiion, or a one-week visit to a Naval port in ihe South.

SEX at General Studies S E X is a subject near to all our hearts, but when it is coupled with religion interest wanes. Despite this the General Studies lecture given by Rev. Kenneth Greet of the Methodist'Church was well attended, no doubt drawn by that single word title.

D I R E C T I V E was recently issued in the Southside halls o f residence that a l l r o o m furniture must be returned to the positions it occupied in the rooms at the beginning o f the session.

T h i s arrangement is not. however, the one planned by the architect o f S o u t h s i d e — t h e same w h i c h was enthusiastically praised b y T H E O B S E R V E R as t h e best s t u d e n t a c c o m m o d a t i o n i n t h e c o u n t r y , a n d t h e s a m e t h a t w a s so p r o u d l y e x h i b i t e d t o Princess M a r g a r e t at t h e O p e n i n g Ceremony.

T h e layout o f the rooms planned by R i c h a r d S h e p p a r d m a y n o t be to t h e l i k i n g o f us a l l , a n d a n u m b e r o f residents have chosen t o adapt this " i d e a l " to their o w n satisfaction.

However, a universally-acknowledged " nonideal " arrangement is n o w being i m p o s e d .

T h i s m o v e seems to be y e t another i n f r i n g e m e n t u p o n the liberties o f residents i n I m p e r i a l C o l l e g e h a l l s — t h e m a j o r i t y o f w h i c h seem to arise i n S o u t h s i d e .

T h e H a l l s o f Residence Committee needs to take a fresh lock at the whole question o f the status o f the halls. Is a r o o m i n hall to be considered as the resident's home-from-home, where he m a y — w i t h i n r e a s o n — d o as he wishes, o r a boarding-school m i n i - d o r m i t o r y ?

W h y s h o u l d o n e n o t be a l l o w e d t o i n t r o d u c e the o c c a s i o n a l o v e r n i g h t guest ( s o m e f r i e n d s d o have a habit o f suddenly appearing o n the doorstep), to express one's i n d i v i d u a l i t y i n the decoration o f one's r o o m ( a n d meet a n y e x pense thereby i n c u r r e d ) , o r a d d s u c h f u r n i s h i n g s as f r i d g e s , c o o k e r s a n d c h a i r s , s o l o n g as s u c h a c t i o n s n e i t h e r d i s t u r b o n e s n e i g h bours (noise), n o r alter the f a b r i c o f t h e b u i l d i n g , n o r create difficulties f o r the c l e a n i n g staff ( s a f e e l e c t r i c w i r i n g ) ?

The second c o n d i t i o n — t o w a r d w h i c h certain halls Seem t o b e s t e a d i l y p r o g r e s s i n g ( r e g r e s s i n g ? ) •—leads o n e t o w o n d e r t o w h a t e x t e n t w a r d e n s Should be " i n l o c o p a r e n t i s . " S h o u l d they determine t h e m o r a l codes o f residents, f o r instance?

T h i s is b o u n d t o cause r e b e l l i o n a m o n g the r a n k s , a n d residents w i l l , l i k e s c h o o l b o y s , s e c r e t i v e l y seek t o b r e a k t h e r u l e s for their o w n sake rather t h a n m o r e maturely follow a privately-held m o r a l code.

Congratulations Sir. I should like to congratulate I.C. Gilbert and Sullivan G r o u p for a magnificent performance last night o f b o t h " T r i a l " a n d " Pinafore."

E v e n t h o u g h this w a s t h e first p e r f o r m a n c e o f t h e week, it w a s b r i s k , bright, c o l ourful, w e l l acted, well sung ( a l t h o u g h I d i d n o t agree w i t h some of the musical interpretation), a n d generally excellently presented. of disapT h e o n l y cause pointment was the small n u m ber i n the audience, a c h a r a c t e r i s t i c o f " first n i g h t s " a t I . C . , unfortunately, b u t I ' m glad to find that b o o k i n g s a r e heavier towards the e n d of the week I w o u l d encourage a l l w h o c a n t o see t h i s p r o d u c t i o n .

A g o o d s h o w deserves a g o o d a u dience.

Y o u r sincerely, M i k e M c G u i r e . M e t . 3.

Why Silence Sir. T h e I C mass learned f o r the first t i m e i n t h e l a s t i s s u e o f F E L I X of actions w h i c h I f o r or"\ w o u l d like clarified.

I understand b y w o r d of mouth as w e l l as f r o m F E L I X c o l u- i' the <"werning b o a r d of F E L I X i n general, a n d the four C o l l e s e Presidents i n particular, objected to the cont i n u e d u s e r" t h e t w o - p r o n g e d f o r k C o l c u ^ - T ^ n o us as a n i n strument o f -destructive c r i t i cism. F i n e . I aeree that p u r e l y destructive criticism seldom ,

achieves a result, even if this were its i n t e n t i o n , f o r it is easily rejected, either o n the more emotional ground of b a c k - s t a b b i n g , o r else b y " S o what would y o u do, ColcuttIgnotus ? " T h e p o i n t w h i c h still stands is t h a t , h o w e v e r bothersome, destructive c r i t i c i s m o n l y arises w h e n s o m e t h i n g is a m i s s , a t least i n t h e m i n d o f t h e c r i t i c .

If the people/groups at w h o m criticism was aimed regard such c o m m e n t as p o i n t l e s s , w h y d o they bother to w i s h t o suppress it ? I f i t d o e s h a v e a g e n u i n e point to make, Should F E L I X n o t b e a l l o w e d t o v o i c e i t , so that it comes to general notice, a n d , as is o f t e n t h e case, a n a n s w e r m u s t b e w r i t t e n i n '.he s a m e issue ?

T h i s raises a second, more i m p o r t a n t , point. It seems that the b o a r d of governors has used its c e n s o r i a l p o w e r s s i m p l y to protect itself f r o m anonymous review—Adrian Fletcher must have jumped through a h o o p h a v i n g been responsible f o r C o l c u t t last year, t o n o w d a m n it. I a n W i l l i a m s w a s told that h e m i g h t p r i n t either C o l cutt o r Ignotus.

A s s e r t i n g the generally held principle of the " freedom of the press" he printed both.

N o w he m a y print neither.

S o , t h e respective, a n d , f o r their ability, l e spected authors w r i t e i n the open, w h i c h need have little effect upon their material.

W h a t then has the board really achieved ; what d i d they i n tend?

Free Vote for B E F O R E considering the advantages o( electing President of Imperial College Union by popular vote, there are three important criticisms of the present evolutionary method. Firstly, the President who is elected by a meeting of joint Council must feel more responsible to them than to the whole Union. This very indirect method of election means that the President seems far from the general body of the Union. s e c o n d l y this system o f election tends to p r o duce a President f r o m the o l i g a r c h y w h i c h r u n s Imperial College U n i o n .

Are these teh grounds on which we want Do to elect the President of I.C. Union? we want candidates to have to think uo slogans like "Cheaper Moonev Meals" that are impossible to put into effect ? Do we want the Mines vote to hold swav over whether we have a President from Guilds or RCS ?

Two students are so fed up with the accomodation problem in this area that they have decided that it is time to do something about it. They propose to set up a self-governing student residence which would be similar in certain ways to an American Fraternity. It is proposed that it would be totally owned and administered bv the student residents although they would like an affiliation with one of the American fraternities, so that members of their fraternity in London would be able to stay at American ones, and vice versa, during the summer vacations.

Two weeks ago I interviewed him in his tiny office at King's, shamelessly demanding potted pronouncements of his views on cosmology, religion and education. Here is part of that interview.

A : B a s i c a l l y the p o i n t of s i m p l i c i t y .

If y o u have a changing Universe then y o u must contemplate . . . a c h a n g i n g physics.

I t h i n k that m a n y o f u s — o f course H o y l e has been extremely f o r c e f ul i n t h i s h i m s e l f i n m u c h o f h i s w o r k — m a n y o f us be'ieve there is a strong l i n k between l o c a l P h y s i c s a n d t h e U n i v e r s e at l a r g e , a n d t h e d i f f i c u l t y o f k n o w i n g h o w P h y s i c s h a s c h a n g e d i n these c i r c u m s t a n c e s is v e r y great i n d e e d , b e c a u s e n a t u r a l l y a l l o u r p r e s e n t k n o w l e d g e i s g a i n e d at w h a t is a m o m e n t i n t h e l i f e o f the U n i v e r s e .

Therefore there are i n n u m e r a b l e possibilities f o r c h a n g e s — only a very few have been explored. O n e of t h e m is a change i n the constant of gravitation d u r i n g t h e l i f e o f t h e U n i v e r s e , b u t t h e r e is r e a l l y n o l i m i t and Oi course one k n o w s f r o m the h i s t o r y o f P h y s i c s t h a t i t w i l l n o t be the n t h p o s s i b i l i t y i n v e s t i g a t e d t h a t w i l l t u r n o u t t o be p a r t i c u l a r l y f r u i t f u l , but the ( n + l ) t h .

Q: W h a t a c t u a l l y is y o u r present l i n e o f research?

A : It's a l m o s t e n t i r e l y i n t h e o r y o f g r a v i t a t i o n , g e n e r a l r e l a t i v i t y , s u c h p r o b l e m s as g r a v i t a t i o n a l waves, energy transfer by gravitation, configurat i o n s o f h i g h g r a v i t a t i o n a l p o t e n t i a l a n d so o n .

Q : Is this a l l d o n e o n paper?

A : A l l o n paper, entirely.

Science and Religion Q : Y o u ' r e g o i n g t o be t a l k i n g t o the H u x l e y Society on " S c i e n c e & R e l i g i o n . " W h a t lines w i l l y o u be talking o n ?

A : W e l l , I o b v i o u s l y d o n ' t w a n t to t a l k t o o m u c h a b o u t i t n o w , b u t I f e e l v e r y s t r o n g l y t h a t there's a h a n g o v e r f r o m the nineteenth c e n t u r y a b o u t ' t h e conflict between the results o f science, and what t h e r e l i g i o n s c l a i m as f a c t s .

N o w , that, I t h i n k , has largely e v a p o r a t e d because theologians have b e c o m e so v e r y m u c h m o r e flexible.

I don't think t h e r e ' s a n y s e r i o u s c o n f l i c t i n t h a t d i r e c t i o n at a l l ; o n t h e o t h e r h a n d , t h e r e is a g o o d d e a l o f c o n f l i c t b e t w e e n the m e t h o d s o f s c i e n c e w i t h t h e i r e s s e n t i a l sometimes b e l i e f i n h u m a n f a l l i b i l i t y , a n d the arrogant p u b l i c claims of revealed religion, a l though I have no q u a r r e l w i th a modest f o r m of private religion.

Implementation of Robbins Q : I r e a d y o u r a r t i c l e i n Isis expressing e n t h u s i astic support f o r the R o b b i n s report. W h a t were y o u r reasons for w e l c o m i n g R o b b i n s ?

A : W e l l , i t seems to m e t h a t we are i n a n extraordinarily fortunate position.

W e have an enormous g r o w t h of desire for education, i n c l u d i n g higher university education, c o m i n g very much at t h e s a m e t i m e as t h e e c o n o m y is m o v i n g i n t o a phase where more a n d more h i g h l y educated p e o p l e a r e r e q u i r e d , a n d i t is n o t n e c e s s a r y f o r these t w o t h i n g s t o m o v e i n p h a s e .

W e know, f o r e x a m p l e , t h a t c o u n t r i e s l i k e I n d i a are f u l l o f unemployed graduates, a n d we k n o w of other c o u n t r i e s w h e r e t h e r e w o u l d be great o p e n i n g s f o r graduates, but there are not enough people c o m i n g f o r w a r d t o t h e u n i v e r s i t i e s . W e l l , i t seems to m e t h a t t h i s great g r o w t h o f d e s i r e t o g e t h e r w i t h the g r e a t g r o w t h o f o p p o r t u n i t y m u s t be m a t c h e d b y u n i v e r s i t y t r a d i t i o n s . I t h i n k t h a t l a c k o f desire is responsible for standards being no higher than they were i n the past a n d that even w h e n r e a c h i n g a m u c h l a r g e r f r a c t i o n o f the p o p u l a t i o n , there's not the slightest reason to believe that " m o r e m e a n s w o r s e " as t h e o p p o n e n t s o f R o b b i n s h a v e so o f t e n s a i d .

Q: Do you t h i n k the recommendations of R o b b i n s are b e i n g implemented f a r enough ?

A : W e l l , o f c o u r s e , t h e r e a r e m a n y aspects o f t h i s t h a t I a m q u i t e u n q u a l i f i e d to s p e a k a b o u t . I m e a n t h i s v e x e d q u e s t i o n o f the p o s i t i o n o f the C o l l e g e s o f E d u c a t i o n , w h e r e the G o v e r n m e n t has decided against R o b b i n s . I can't speak about this, I d o n ' t k n o w either side of the question w e l l enough.

I n the universities m y feeling is that the s a m e t h i n g h o l d s b a c k the u n i v e r s i t i e s as h o l d s back everything i n the country's e c o n o m y , namely, t h e b u i l d i n g i n d u s t r y is n o t as p r o d u c t i v e as it o u g h t t o be, a n d t h a t t h e r e f o r e i t is v e r y h a r d t o get sufficient r e s u l t s t o be a b l e t o a c c o m m o d a t e a l l t h a t s h o u l d be a c c o m m o d a t e d , tv

A : W e l l , I ' m certainly violently against a n y t h i n g t h a t ossifies a p o s i t i o n , b e c a u s e i n the m i n d s o f c e r t a i n s c h o o l m a s t e r s the o p i n i o n hangs o n that O x b r i d g e , b e c a u s e i t w a s p r e - e m i n e n t fifty y e a r s a g o , m u s t be p r e - e m i n e n t n o w , a n d t h a t t h a t s h o u l d i n a n y w a y be codified f o r the f u t u r e w h e n i t ' s n o l o n g e r t r u e n o w , s e e m s to m e q u i t e a b s u r d .

LEAGE FINALS I.C. 11 - C . E . M . 3

by Bill Jenkins It was a vocal, bloodthirsty and near alcoholic contingent of C . E . M . supporters who turned out at Harlington last Wednesday. A contingent who found themselves not only matched for support by an I.C. party under the mob rule of Ken West but steadily silencea as the I.C. fifteen quickly established their superiority and by virtue of an 11â&#x20AC;&#x201D;3 win entered the final of the Gutteridge Cup for the first time for five years.

T h e m a r g i n of this w i n c o u l d h a v e , a n d should have, been m u c h greater.

Against them the C . E . M . showed little initiative; a remark that c o u l d also be a p p l i e d t o t h e i r three quaters w h o rarely escaped the I . C . d e f e n c e a n d w h o s e f e w dangerous moves came from opportunist moves. score opened when Ray The kicked a ninth minute penalty for I . C . : a g o o d effort f r o m 3 5 y d s .

D u r i n g the second h a l f I . C . tightened their grip o n the game, going farther ahead w i t h a n early try.

O N C E A G A I N the I.C. Volleyball theam beat opponents in matches through the league, and reached the quater final. The other three teams to reach the quater finals of the competition were Southgate Tech. Oast years S.E. champions), London Fire Brigade, and Borough Poly.

In the m a t c h against B o r o u g h P o l y w e h a d a n easy v i c t o r y b y 15-11 a n d 15-2.

I n the next match the college team defeated the F i r e Brigade w h o t h o u g h t to be favourites to w i n t h e final. T h e I . C . forwards, N o e l , H a r a i a n d . T e m a d , were too strong f o r the brigade, their strong smashing over the net p r o v i n g unreturnable. T h e final scores i n this h i g h l y e x c i t i n g m a t c h were 15-10 a n d 15-7.

T h i s victory put I . C . into the final against a strong Southgate Tech. t e r m .

A f t e r a very e x c i t i n g struggle I . C . t o : k t h e first g a m e 15,-11, b u t t h e o p p o s i tion, whose team included two nation a l players, took the final t w o games and w o n the m a t c h .

T h e writing was n o w clearly o n the w a l l f o r C . E . M . a n d although they closed the gap with a penalty, R a y t o o k h i s points tally t o eight b y k i c k i n g a n easy g o a l i n f r o n t o f t h e p o s t s .

This completed the scoring a n d a l t h o u g h a difference o f o p i n i o n between the college front r o w a n d the referee resulted i n several more C . E . M . penalty attempts the exultant judge leaps o f " i m p a r t i a l " t o u c h B a l l a r d indicated that none w a s successful.

South America The past behind the present " A L L generalisations are suspect, including this o n e " (Dumas).

With this quotation, Dr. Blakemore began his lecture on Latin America, the second of a series of six.

In it he proposed to discuss the historical causes of the present sociological, economic, and political situations of Latin America, in a generalised form because of the short time allowed.

•He b e g a n w i t h a s h o r t d e s c r i p t i o n o f t h e set u p i n L a t i n A m e r i c a b e f o r e the wars of independence which l a s t e d f r o m 1810 t o 1826. T h e w h o l e of the continent, apart f r o m B r a z i l , was under the Imperial rule of Spain.
