0/S Students' Fees Up 20% Huge cuts in education expenditure and yet another massive fee increase for overseas students are the order of the day following the first Conservative Budget on Tuesday.

Instead of the 9 per cent fee increase for home and overseas students announced by the previous Government, overseas students will now be faced with a 20 per cent rise on this year's fees. Overseas postgraduates will now be paying over £1,100 to attend British Universities.

T h e r e is no further rise in h o m e s t u d e n t s ' fees w h i c h remain as listed below. T h i s means that the fee differential w h i c h the C o l l e g e is p l e d g e d to o p p o s e is now even greater t han before.

U n i o n President M a r y A t t e n b o r o u g h is to meet the R e c t o r o n Friday a n d is h o p i n g for a joint statement o p p o s i n g the increases.

A m o n g the c u t s is a m a s s i v e r e d u c t i o n in university capital e x p e n d i t u r e from £17.6 m i l l i o n to £9.9 m i l l i o n , part of a total capital e x p e n d i t u r e s a v i n g in the w h o l e of the e d u c a t i o n s e c t o r of £14 million.

M a r y A t t e n b o r b u g h is w o r r i e d that the C o l l e g e may n o w be f o r c e d to delay f u r n i s h i n g the L i n s t e a d H a l l e x t e n s i o n .

A £5 m i l l i on cut in the r e s e a r c h c o u n c i l grants is b o u n d to have its effect on p o s t g r a d u a t e grant a w a r d s a n d r e s e a r c h projects.

T h e U n i o n are a l s o w o r r i e d that the 1 - 1.5 per cent r e d u c t i o n in universities' g e n e r a l e x p e n d i t u r e w i l l m e a n a further cut in the IC U n i o n budget for next year.

With these devastating a n n o u n c e m e n t s c o m i n g just t w o w e e k s before the e n d of term the U n i o n will find it difficult to o r g a n i s e the mass protests w h i c h s h o u l d be every s t u d e n t ' s r e s p o n s e to this G o v e r n m e n t .

Dear Sir, - I was amazed and suprised, etc, to read in last week's Snooker club article that K i t Nair not being a committee member was the best thing to happen to snooker Club in a long time.

What has this poor creature done that M r Teelock, Sanjit, President (2nd class) should victimise him so?

O n a more serious note, I was glad to see under R a g that next years minor charities will include Alcoholics anonymous rather than the national organisation, Alcoholics Anonymous. I personally welcome a move such as this, which will benefit the average student, sell included.

My supporters suggested I s h o u l d get signatures o f people w h o were dissatisfied w i t h the w a y the election was c o n d u c t e d .

The motive for o b t a i n i n g signatures was to register a protest not to force a re-election. I c o u l d have forced a re-election since I h a d more t h a n e n o u g h signatures.

TRAVEL STUDENTS OF LONDON E x h a u s t e d after my effort of a fortnight ago I decided to carry on avoiding John Harris for another week and leave another article until this week. Not that John is particularly terrifying but it was hand written on unlined paper with crossings-out and insertions and so forth to the extent that he drove me out of the FELIX office to get this article typed in the Union Office, (he will be sorry) and it went on for ever! However, judging by the contents of last week's issue (size, editorial and page 4 article) he is really pushed for copy so here goes for this week's ego-trip (which is the only kind of trip I am going on this year).

E n o u g h of the a b o v e r u b b i s h , e x c i t i n g things a r e h a p p e n i n g at L o n d o n Student Travel, F o r a start we have a new advertising s l o g a n , w h i c h runs ' F o r a c h o i c e o f 500 m a k e 117 the first' (117 E u s t o n R d , geddit!).

W e l l folks, o n l y one week o f t e r m left n o w - s o o n y o u c a n all d i s a p p e a r i n t o the d e p t h s of Britain and earn thousands of pounds working 24hr shifts, 7 d a y s a week i n factories or w a l k i n g the streets o f E a r l s C o u r t s a y i n g to r a n d o m p a s s e r s - b y w h o look at y o u w i t h lust i n t h e i r eyes ' H e l l o S a i l o r - w o u l d y o u like a n ' o r r i b l e t i m e ? ' .

the E x e c . P a r t y . B r i n g a bottle (to d r i n k after the e n d of the b a r extension). It's o n T h u r s d a y 21st J u n e i n the J C R a n d I've been told it's g o i n g to t u r n into one h e l l u v a orgy w i t h n a k e d bodies w r i t h i n g a l l over the floor a n d s p i l l i n g o n t o the w a l k w a y . O h yes, b r i n g y o u r o w n fetish.

E n o u g h of these s o r d i d ways of e a r n i n g a l i v i n g . I've got a couple of things to p l u g this week.

T h e c h a p w h o runs the stall w h i c h occasi onal ly appears i n the J C R a n d sells c h e a p c a m p i n g equipment says students are w e l c o m e to c a l l at his factory over the S u m m e r a n d a c t u a l l y b u y stuff there. H i s address is 48 R a w s t o n e St., L o n d o n E C 1 . T e l : 837 2201/2, so just c a l l there if you want to get some cheap c a m p i n g e q u i p m e n t . If you're lucky he might sell y o u some cheap bondage e q u i p m e n t as well.

PARKING PERMITS (of the temporary kind) W e l l , after I ' d got a l l the a p p l i c a t i o n s i n for t e m p o r a r y p a r k i n g permits I found that there were m o r e places t h a n there were a p p l i c a t i o n s for a J u l y p e r m i t .

T h a t is, everybody w h o a p p l i e d gets a place, p r o v i n g perhaps that this scheme was a little futile - it was College's idea, not m i n e .

A n y w a y , as there are spaces left over I ' m not sure w h e t h e r it's w o r t h issuing permits o r not just for J u l y . I ' l l discuss it w i t h J o h n F u l l e r , traffic w a r d e n at the E x h i b i t i o n R o a d entrance, a n d i f we decide to issue t h e m then I ' l l send t h e m to i n d i v i d u a l s a n d they s h o u l d a r r i v e sometime i n the last week of t e r m .

Peter c o u l d read no more. I n a fury, he tore the letter into tiny shreds a n d scattered t h e m to the w i n d . I m m o b i l e , he stood o n the quayside, his arms h a n g i n g l i m p l y by his side.

T h e d y i n g rays of the sun traced out his solitary shadow.

F i n a l l y , the sunset b e q u e a t h e d the night. T h e w o r l d was cast i n t o a n eerie t w i l i g h t .

T h e boat's whistle h e r a l d e d its d e p a r t u r e .

The last person a b o a r d , he s t u m b l e d onto deck w i t h o u t really k n o w i n g where he was or w h a t he was d o i n g . S u d d e n l y , he felt as vengeful as A c h i l l e s . H e w o u l d strangle t h e m b o t h i n their sleep then d r i n k a long, refreshing d r a u g h t from that c u p of hemlock.

A s they h a d lived a n d loved together, they w o u l d die together. A n d to t h i n k that her poisoned w o m b h a d begun this a v a l a n c h e of

T h e n he w o u l d recall fragments of his u n i o n w i t h Susan: each one a bitter-sweet r e m i n d e r o f t h e ineffable j o y he so frequently experienced w i t h her, a n d the h o r r i b l e lonliness w h i c h a w a i t e d h i m w i t h o u t her.

Next, he began to l a m p o o n her: her r i d i c u l o u s hook nose, her n e u r o t i c habits, the s h r i l l tenor of her voice.

A l t e r n a t i v e l y , love a n d hate, respect a n d c o n t e m p t , swelled i n his heart like the ebb a n d flow o f the ocean.

T h e n i g h t was sweltering. F o r most of it, the b o o n of sleep e v a d e d h i m . L i k e a fugitive desire, it tantilised h i m w i t h its offer of relief from a n g u i s h of consciousness.

E v e n t u a l l y , his eyes d i d close, a n d he a w o k e w i t h the feeling that he h a d n ' t slept at a l l . T h e hustle a n d bustle of Pireus, the Port of A t h e n s , rose to his ears. F o r some

u n a c c o u n t a b l e reason, he r e m e m b e r e d the last t i m e he h a d a p p r o a c h e d Athens...yes it was then that he h a d h a t c h e d his scheme to avenge h i m s e l f o n his ' a d u l t e r o u s ' w i f c . i t was t h e n he h a d t ho ug h t of L u c y !

W h a t a n e n c h a n t i n g , exquisite E n g l i s h Rose, yet a reluctant a d u l t like a l l adolescents. Yes, a n d it was she w h o c a r r i e d his c h i l d , of that there was no d o u b t . A f t e r p r o l o n g e d d e l i b e r a t i o n , he resolved to see her as soon as he r e t u r n e d to L o n d o n . B u t , no. O n second thoughts, that w o u l d be disrespectful to his father. H e w o u l d wait u n t i l after the funeral, then, yes then he w o u l d propose that they live together. She w o u l d be his hope, a hope that w o u l d not a b a n d o n h i m .

A heavy g l o o m s h r o u d e d the cemetary. It was a fitting day for the o l d m a n ' s funeral, Peter t ho ug h t to himself. H i s m o t h e r stepped out of the c a r b e h i n d his. H e greeted her c o l d l y , almost as if she h a d been a stranger.

T h e y barely spoke - Peter absorbed in his sombre m e l a n c h o l i a , his m o t h e r w e e p i n g profusely. T h i s a i r of m o u r n i n g was almost claustrophobic.

T h e f a m i l y g r o u p were kept w a i t i n g for over a n hour. B y n o w the slight d r i z z l e h a d become a light r a i n . A p p a r e n t l y , e a r l i e r that m o r n i n g , due to the slippery surface, one of the grave-diggers h a d fallen into a freshlyd u g grave, a n d twisted his ankle. T h e v i c a r , effusive i n his apologies, assured t h e m that a r e p l a c e m e n t was b e i n g sought. W i t h the G r a c e of G o d , he a d d e d , a n d the assistance of the l o c a l L a b o u r E x c h a n g e , one w o u l d be found.

A t l o n g last, the c e r e m o n y took place.

Peter listened to the tedious m o n o l o g u e of religious euphemisms with disinterest.

P e r h a p s some day their m e a n i n g w o u l d become a p p a r e n t to h i m .

I m m e d i a t e l y the v i c a r h a d c o m p l e t e d the c e r e m o n y he offered his condolences, then rushed b a c k to the c h u r c h w i t h the a i r of a m a n w h o has the d e v i l at his heels. Peter t ho ug h t it w o u l d be apt i f he was about to prepare for a c h r i s t e n i n g . A s his f a m i l y d e p a r t e d , Peter w a n d e r e d aimlessly r o u n d the g r a v e - y a r d , e n s h r i n e d i n his o w n silence.

A f t e r a w h i l e , he h e a r d the d i s t i n c t i v e toll of w e d d i n g bells, a n d , feeling refreshed, he w a l k e d back i n the d i r e c t i o n of the c h u r c h .

T h e r e , a sea of cheerful faces washed over h i m , d i s p e l l i n g the pathos of his thoughts. A group of about forty w e d d i n g guests h a d gathered on the c h u r c h steps. ' A n g e l s of y o u t h , fly h i g h , fly eagle h i g h , ' Peter m u s e d p o e t i c a l l y to himself. H e w i s h e d this c o u p l e w e l l , w h o e v e r they were, a n d better fortune t h a n he h a d h a d .

A s the b r i d e a n d g r o o m e m e r g e d f r o m the c h a p e l , t h e i r guests e n v e l o p e d t h e m w i t h the t r a d i t i o n a l c o v e r i n g of confetti. Peter t r i e d to press t h r o u g h the c r o w d to give the c o u p l e his o w n b e n e d i c t i o n . T h e n s u d d e n l y , he c a u g h t a glimpse of the b r i d e as they stepped into t h e i r w e d d i n g c a r - he saw the swollen s t o m a c h , the d a i n t y figure a n d the f l o w i n g features. It was L u c y ! She looked serenely happy.

I n a m o m e n t , they were w h i s k e d a w a y in their m a r r i a g e c h a r i o t .

A s he t u r n e d to go home, that phrase, as o l d as h u m a n suffering, s p r a n g to his lips: ' A l l is w e l l , ' he m u r m e r e d , ' A l l is w e l l ' .

T H E WALK T h e walk starts at 10.30am, on Saturday the 7th July from the East Heath car park off East Heath Road on Hampstead Heath. For participants driving there, the car park will be available for use free of charge. T h e route will go round the Heath, down to Primrose H i l l and Regent's Park, along Baker St to Marble A r c h round the Serpentine, past Buckingham Palace, through Victoria and finally over Lambeth Bridge to Jubilee Park on the South Bank - a total distance often miles.

T h e walk should last about five hours.

T r y to complete the whole course. If you want to walk further, you can complete additional circuits of Hyde Park - a two mile lap.

Alternatively, if you want to walk a shorter, traffic - free course, then you can start in Hyde Park and just walk laps of the Serpentine, more suitable perhaps for parents with young children. T h e starting point for this walk will be next to the car park on the North side of the Serpentine Bridge and will be open from 11 am until 5pm. Y o u may ofcourse finish either in Hyde Park or go through to Jubilee Park.

A detailed map of the course will be given to all walkers on the day from either of the two starting points, together with your walking card.

This will be stamped with the mileage completed at the various designated checkpoints along the route.

Y O U C A N HELP G R E E N P E A C E to save the whales from unnecessary slaughter by participating in their sponsored walk on Saturday 7th July.

Funds are urgently needed to pay for our boat, the 'Rainbow Warrior,' to directly confront the Icelandic Whaling Fleet to save the last of the giant Fin Whales from explosive harpoons.

All profits from this walk will go to finance this and similar campaigns to interfere with whale and seal hunting. Although the crew is volunteer, the cost of properly equipping the 'Rainbow Warrior' for these campaigns is very high.

Become an active part of the Greenpeace campaign to save the whales from extinction. Come out and walk with us and ask your friends, relatives, colleagues etc. to sponsor you.

T h e two p o s s i b l e s o u r c e s of c a s h are:S u p p l e m e n t a r y Benefit and U n e m p l o y m e n t Benefit.

Unemployment Benefit Entitlement A s for S u p p l e m e n t a r y Benefit e x c e p t that y o u have to have paid N a t i o n a l Insurance C o n t r i b u t i o n s o n e a r n i n g s over a particular s u m in the relevant tax year.

T o c l a i m this S u m m e r y o u need to have been p a i d u n e m p l o y m e n t benefit d u r i n g the Easter v a c a t i o n or to have e a r n e d over £375 between A p r i l 1977 and A p r i l 1978. Y o u w o u l d then be entitled to £7.35per week.

If y o u earned over £750 y o u c o u l d get £14.70 or m o r e d e p e n d i n g o n how m u c h y o u earned.

If y o u e a r n e d this sort of m o n e y in a different tax year, y o u c a n c h e c k with the Welfare C e n t r e to see whether y o u w o u l d be entitled to a n y t h i n g .

' T h e g r o u n d o f a c e r t a i n r i c h m a n p r o d u c e d a good c r o p . H e thought , to himself, ' W h a t shall I do? I have no place to store m y crops. ' T h e n he said.

' Y o u have plenty of good things l a i d u p for m a h y years. T a k e life easy, eat, d r i n k a n d be m e r r y . ' ' B u t G o d said to h i m , ' Y o u fool!

BATTLESHIP EROTICA Eventually it had to happen. The double x rated Star Wars rip off has arrived - not with a bang, but a whimper and a groan. Apologies but the film is indisputably a remix of WW11 dogfight scenes, themes first articulated in Star Trek (ST for short), Star Wars (SW) special effects and noise levels and Barbarella fantasy.

V i e w e d as a n y t h i n g other than b l u i s h d i s p o s a b l e entertainment the film falls flat o n its back. A s a b i g budget s u p e r g l o s s y e x e r c i se in perfection a n d e s c a p i s m it fails a b y s m a l l y . T h e plot c o n t a i n s the most i n c r e d i b l e faults - what S a m G o l d w y n d i d for the E n g l i s h language, J u s t i n P Z l a n z a z y w y z o r s o m e t h i n g , the P r o d u c e r , has d o n e for H o l l y w o o d . E x a m p l e : A l m o s t the entirity of h u m a n i t y have been destroyed. A handful of survivors remain, barely able get the hell out of the S o l a r S y s t e m . T h e e n e m y , the S i l o s , w i s h to destroy every last human, s o what d o the survivors d o ? Y o u g u e s s e d , they lead the e n e m y directly to the last r e m a i n i n g h u m a n c o l o n y - S t a r b a s e 69 (I s a i d it w a s bad d i d I not?) - w h i c h is only r u m o u r e d to exist, a n d is almost certainly unarmed.

U n l i k e S W s , w h e r e a great deal of thought went into the t e c h n i c i a l feasabilities, this film uses m o n e y and little t h o u g h t . T h e result is a string of h i l a r i o u s mistakes w h i c h when briefly listed c o v e r a side of A4. Here are s o m e prime e x a m p l e s : T w o of o u r fighter craft (which look a little like T h u n d e r f l a s h jet fighters) are r u n n i n g away from t h o u s a n d s of e n e m y fighters (no l o w budget film, this) at least half the velocity of light, w h e n they d e c i d e to take evasive a c t i on - reverse thrust and fully reverse in a fraction of a s e c o n d . D o that in a mere s u p e r s o n i c jet, or a S a t u r n V, a n d y o u w o u l d leave the c o c k p i t in matchboxes.

There are of c o u r s e the s t a n d a r d errors apparently interstellar v a c u u m s carry the s o u n d of e x p l o s i o n s very well.

Fighter s h i p s , battlestars a n d even w h o l e planets, alright, o n e little one, e x p l o d e s , W h y ? W e l l , y o u see this s m a l l intergalatic craft c a p a b l e of w i t h s t a n d i n g attacks from m a s s e d perspex tubes with l i g h t b u l b s in the ends, gets a little c l o s e to the planet, a n d well y o u see, these b i g bolts of l i g h t e n i n g s h o o t to a n d fro, a n d then it sort of e x p l o d e s t a k i n g the planet with it - I s u p p o s e the planet w a s c a l l e d K r y p t o n .

The film is slightly entertaining, but even w a t c h i n g it t h r o u g h several c a n s of S w a n a n d pints of R u d d l e s I w a s mildly iritated a n d d i s g r u n t l e d t h r o u g h o u t the film.

T h e p r o d u c e r relied t o o heavily on two things - effects a n d the b a n d w a g g o n . T o s o m e extent the

film is s o l d o n its t e c h n i c a l merits a l o n e - s o u n d in ' G r o p e a r o u n d ' (copyright) a n d D o o l e y 'A' N o i s e C r e a t i o n S y s t e m , f i l m e d in W i d e v i s i o n . T h e next step will be Noise

by Z a p p a ' or s o m e equivalent - already c i n e m a s are issuing d i s c l a i m e r s (the, management accepts no r e s p o n s a b i l i t y for a n y p h y s i c i a l effects c a u s e d by G r o p e a r o u n d . . . , and that is a quote).

Remember the days when T e c h n i c o l o u r w a s a means to a n d e n d rather than a mean e n d in itself? T h e s p i n offs a s s o c i a t e d with t h e film w o u l d a m a z e even s n o o k e r c l u b - the book, the h o m e movie, the film b e h i n d the s c e n e s , the s o u n d track, the B a t t l e s h i p C a r H e a d l i g h t s (why settle for less than eight?

Dazzle your the imitation radio friends...), c o m m e r c i a l s a n d , of c o u r s e , the c o m p u t e r p r o g r a m e of the film to detect its use (algorithm available. C o n t a c t I C C C . ) T h i n g s are not all bad - true the baddies were. T h e y forgot their lines, m i s s e d cues, h a m act a n d p r o b a b l y b e l o n g to trade u n i o n s s e r i o u s l y t h o u g h , there is a light at the e n d of the perspex tube.

Despite this film being seen in the West E n d , o n a Saturday, the c i n e m a was 2/3 empty - t o o many rip offs have a c h i e v e d saturation level. Star W a r s 2 may d o well, but its imitators will not. Not even E m a n u e l l Meets T h e W o o k i e , a novel idea.

In retrospect it b e c o m e s clear that Star Trek w a s of a high s t a n d a r d , even if there were o n l y three b a s i c plots.

Confusing, eh? W e l l perhaps u n t i l y o u realise that the A r m y is really G a r y N u m a n w h o sings a n d plays a l l the instruments except d r u m s (his u n c l e Jess a n d bass (Paul Libyard) Gardiner).

B u t is it good?

Well, no. Some o f i t is e x c e p t i o n a l , but as a w h o l e it comes across like some c h e a p i m i t a t i o n o f ' l o w ' B o w i e or early Kraftwork.

T h e standout m a t e r i a l is o n the first side; ' M e ! I D i s c o n n e c t f r o m You' combines synthesiser fanfares and chanting vocals excellently a n d is followed b y the best track o n the a l b u m , ' A r e ' F r i e n d s ' E l e c t r i c ? ' , the c u r r e n t 'Gimme Some Neck' - Ron Wood (CBS) ' G i m m e s o m e N e c k ' is R o n W o o d ' s third s o l o a l b u m to date, a n d with a history as i m p e c c a b l e as his, (he has played with bands s u c h as; the Birds, C r e a t i o n , Jeff B e c k G r o u p , F a c e s a n d n o w the Stones), it is only natural that great things are e x p e c t e d of this a l b u m . A d d to that the l i n e - u p of big names, s u c h as M i c k J a g g e r , K e i t h R i c h a r d s a n d C h a r l i e Watts from t h e Stones, M i c k F l e e t w o o d from F l e e t w o o d M a c plus an exm e m b e r of the F a c e s a n d a handful of other equally well qualified musicians, anything short of e x c e l l e n c e from the a l b u m w o u l d be d i s a p p p o i n t i n g .

However, d i s a p p o i n t i n g the a l b u m certainly is not. L i s t e n i n g to the a l b u m just o n c e w a s e n o u g h to p e r s u a d e me that if M r W o o d gives a c o n c e r t in the near future, I shall be o n e of the first to rush out for tickets.

T o be c h o s e n as lead guitarist for the R o l l i n g Stones, w h o have every right to be particular about w h o m they c h o o s e to join them, must say s o m e t h i n g about the quality of R o n W o o d ' s guitar playing.

S i d e O n e o p e n s with a track heavily featuring honky-tonky p i a n o a n d p o w e r e d by C h a r l i e Watts h a m m e r i n g away in his o w n inimitable style it is a t y p i c a l e x a m p l e of the fine rock featured on the A l b u m , most of the s o n g s , in true S t o n e s style, are built a r o u n d a framework of s l a s h i n g guitar c h o r d s , setting t h e r h y t h m , b a c k e d u p by a very s t r o n g

p i c t u r e disc single. A lonely m a n pleas for help; 'low know I hale lo ask / Bui are friends electric:' Only mine's broke down I And now I've no-one to love.'

I really c a n ' t enthuse too m u c h about this. S o then the a l b u m starts w i t h t w o fine tracks b o t h w i t h m e l o d i c keyboards, filled u n n e r v i n g vocals a n d a fine r h y t h m b a c k i n g . S o w h y doesn't it last? I d o n ' t k n o w , ask G a r y .

T h e p r o b l e m w i t h m a n y of the other songs is that they s o u n d too m u c h alike, t h o u g h ' P r a y i n g to the A l i e n s ' stands out, w i t h its strange v i e w o f the future. It's one of the few cuts w h i c h , w h i l e a i m i n g for a specific effect, doesn't get bogged d o w n i n the process.

N u m a n writes of machines a n d a l i e n a t i o n , a n d then c o m p l a i n s that people ignore h i m . W e l l , m y l a d , m a y b e we're just not ready for it. A l l this said, it's a v a l i a n t attempt, brave even o n the part of his record c o m p a n y , Beggar's B a n q u e t . T h e m u s i c retains the c h i l l i n g starkness w h i c h it strives for, b u t somewhere a l o n g the line it falls desparately short.

Indeed G i m m e S o m e N e c k ' s o u n d s like it c o u l d almost be the latest offering by the R o l l i n g S t o n e s , with the e x c e p t i o n of a c o u p l e of tracks.

T h e most o b v i o u s exception, being o n e of three of the eleven s o n g s not written by W o o d , is 'Seven D a y s ' w h i c h was written by B o b D y l a n e s p e c i a l l y for the record.

Here's part of the chorus: ...'A COC squeezer, Her CUN So don't wouldn't touch her

P r o b a b l y the only fault with this a l b u m is that a l t h o u g h the content is very s o u n d , the m u s i c played and sung remarkably expressively there are so many bands p l a y i n g this sort of rock s o well that to p r o d u c e a c h a r t - t o p p i n g r e c o r d it must be a c o m p i l a t i o n of c l a s s i c s , o r have a million selling n a m e attached.

Tennis Club On Sunday we played a ladies doubles match against Southgale County LTC , it was a 2nd round match in the Under 21 Middlesex Cup. The match was away, and we had to travel by tube to the far end of the Picadilly line. Lack of confidence in the Captain's n a v a g a t i o n a l abilities s o o n showed, we all refused to believe that she knew where she was going. However, after visiting a golf course, we eventually arrived at the tennis club.

In the first m a t c h K a t h y a n d H a z e l p l a y e d the s e c o n d c o u p l e a n d w o n 7-5, 6-1. T h e y then had to sit a n d w a t c h S a r a and J u l i a finish a s l i g h t l y longer m a t c h against the first c o u p l e , in w h i c h Julia a m u s e d the o p p o s i t i o n by falling a b o u t all o v e r the court. D u e to nerves a n d s o m e pathetic tennis we a l l o w e d t h e m to r e a c h a 5-2 lead, we then played properly a n d w o n the set o n a t i e - break. In the

T h e g a m e went to three sets, m a i n l y d u e to lack of c o n c e n tration by both players, but we eventually w o n 3-6, 7-6, 8-6. T h e credit for the final victory must go to H a z e l , as by the e n d of the third set K a t h y was definately feeling the effects of the previous nights t o g a party.

Altogether we w o n c o n v i n c i n g l y , d r o p p i n g only o n e set in the w h o l e m a t c h . A s we w o n this m a t c h we are now t h r o u g h to the quarter final of the M i d d l e s e x Cup. Team:- Julia Towns and McGuinness; Kathy Snook Hazel McCulloch.

accommodation for next O c t o b e r . In the last few days there has been a d a i l y flow of 15 to 20 students u p to M i c h a e l A r t h u r ' s office seeking help.

But whereas u n t i l n o w a l l students were g u a r a n t e e d at least one year in a H a l l o r House if they w a n t e d it, this year there were more 3 r d year students a p p l y i n g for a place t h a n places a v a i l a b l e for 2 n d a n d 3 r d year n e w applicants together.

S o m e students go to the very unsatisfactory University of L o n d o n A c c o m m o d a t i o n Office.

M a n y others are forced to seek out flat agencies where they p a y e x h o r b i t a n t charges o n l y to get expensive a c c o m m o d a t i o n a l o n g way f r o m C o l l e g e .

But C o l l e g e cannot hope to meet the heavy d e m a n d for housing by s p e n d i n g their resources o n schemes such as the L i n s t e a d extension a n d Student Houses. F o r every student place in the new L i n s t e a d C o l l e g e has to fork out o v e r ;£10,000, a n d m o n e y is very l i m i t e d .

Y e t the C o l l e g e t h i n k there is no p r o b l e m .

T h i s year the U n i o n have m a d e to persuade several attempts C o l l e g e to d o more to h e l p their students. But most o f t h e U n i o n ' s ideas have been coolly received.

M i c h a e l A r t h u r has also gone a h e a d w i t h his o w n schemes such as f o r m i n g a cooperative to renovate short-life property which will be a v a i l a b l e i n O c t o b e r at a r o u n d £3 p e r week.
