Telix Imagine my surprise when a rather pale looking, six mile long creature walked into my office on Wednesday morning and said, " H e l l o Gobber!" The fellow I'm referring to is of course John Downs. It is good to have him back with us for the Union Office has not been the same without his zanny sense of humour.

Why s h o u l d t h e y Imagine that a n y o n e Is i n t e r e s t e d In the m a r i t a l s t a t u s of the female staff?

Accommodation The ' c r a s h pad' scheme run by the Union was quite successful although not many students had to avail themselves of i t . Those who did were mainly overseas students, many of whom thought that they automatically received a place in College residence once they are accepted onto a course at IC. I feel that this completely erroneous impression, which one assumes is obtained from tbe bumph sent out by C ollege, ought to be cleared up. T h i s will greatly reduce the confusion and consternation caused to a l l concerned.
F o o d Guide I promised a quid to whoever could prove they had eaten in the 'Contented Sole' in last week's F E L I X . I now have three people who have done, but due to my poor financial status I shall not be giving away anymore quids. A t least you read the guide which was tbe main idea. Thanks for your interest.

FELIX
Interview with Charles Clarke N U S President Charles Clark, President of NUS, had a c l a s s i c a l education with a difference. He attended a Public School, and then went on to Cambridge University. In his first year he became actively involved in the aftermath of the Garden House demonstration, which led to the arrest of seven students in February 1970. In his second year, he was elected to the Executive of the Cambridge Students Union the first Executive body at this University. In his third year he was elected as President of the CSU and was granted a sabbatical year. The following is an extract of a conversation he had with F E L I X just before the beginning of the new term. FELIX: What are your own political opinions? Charles Clark: I a m a member of the L a b o u r P a r t y . I d e s c r i b e m y s e l f a s b e i n g on t h e L e f t - w i n g of t h e p a r t y ; I t h i n k that t h e main e c o n o m i c problems that the c o u n t r y f a c e s w i l l not be s o l v e d by c u t t i n g p u b l i c e x p e n d i t u r e , w a g e c o n t r o l , a n d other methods that t h i s government i s e m p l o y i n g . FELIX: What measures do you think are necessary?
