FREEZE ON C C D EXPENDITURE T h e C o m p u t i n g and C o n t r o l Department's staff/student c o m m i t t e e heard, on T u e s d a y evening, that C C D is in a dire financial situation. With c o m m i t m e n t s s u c h as staff salaries a n d m a i n t e n a n c e taken into a c c o u n t C C D is already £40,000 in the red for the w h o l e a c a d e m i c year. A s a result Professor L e h m a n has ordered a c o m p l e t e freeze on all expenditure, in the hope of b r i n g i n g the true nature of the situation h o m e to the c o l l e g e authorities.

Its fiscal needs, however, c o r r e s p o n d to that of an E n g i n e e r i n g Department.

In the long term Professor L e h m a n is h o p i n g that w h e n the M a t h e m a t i c s and C o m p u t i n g s u b c o m m i t t e e of the University G r a n t s c o u n c i l visit the department, next M a r c h , they c a n be p e r s u a d e d to re-classify the department.

Dear M r Fox Further to o u r c o n v e r s a t i o n yesterday (November 12th) I w i s h to inform y o u of t h e f o l l o w i n g ' facts c o n c e r n i n g the disgraceful state of the J u n i o r C o m m o n R o o m in t h e Sherfield B u i l d i n g c a u s e d by a party held there o n N o v e m b e r 11th.

1. That eight female cleaners had to be e m p l o y e d to c l e a n the r o o m after they had performed all their n o r m a l duties in the S h e r f i e l d Building.

2. That these cleaners were required to remove urine stains from the c l o a k room.

3. That there was b r o k e n glass o n all floors of t h e S h e r f i e l d B u i l d i n g .

4. That a large n u m b e r of fixtures a n d fittings (eg light bulbs, furniture etc) h a d been destroyed.

I w i s h to point out that this is the last e x a m p l e of a l o n g series of 'parties' w h e r e a c o n s i d e r a b l e unpleasant mass h a s been left w h i c h t h e c l e a n e r s have h a d to clear u p . T h s e responsible for creating the situation were obviously incapable of even partially tidying u p after themselves.

In view of these nasty and extra duties the cleaners c o n s i d e r that be s u i t a b l y they should r e c o m p e n s e d . O t h e r w i s e it is the general feeling of the cleaners that we c a n n o longer c o n t i n u e to perform s u c h unpleasant tasks.

Y o u r s faithfully J o y c e Smiles Chairwoman N U P E (See B r a i n Drain) Dear Sir If a n y o n e is t h i n k i n g of tabling a motion o n abortion for the next U G M , I h o p e they think again.

N o w o n d e r that the frenzied feminists and the equally fanatical o p p o n e n t s of abortion managed to empty the last U G M .

Ninety per cent of students in this c o l l e ge are physically i n c a p a b l e of b e c o m i n g pregnant and most of the remainder w o u l d not know h o w to, i n c l u d i n g , I suspect, M e s s r s Attenborough and Clarke.

T h e time has c o m e for the silent majority to tell both the supporters a n d o p p o n e n t s of a b o r t i o n to stop trying to i m p o s e their views o n the U n i o n . If they want to s u p p o r t their c a u s e s financially then let them d o it out of their o w n pockets and not the U n i o n purse.

Dear C o l i n Following the slow-moving p r o c e e d i n g s at last Tuesday's U G M , surely debates and s p e e c h e s c o u l d be shorter in length. In o n e a n d a half hours, one motion w a s voted o n , and a s e c o n d fully debated only to be cut short by the s t u p i d actions of s o m e o n e yelling quorate, not because the meeting was e x c e p t i o n a l l y s m a l l or u n d e m o cratic, but just for political ends to make sure the vote did not go the o p p o s i t e w ay to his beliefs (not the most d e m o c r a t i c of actions).

B o t h m o t i o n s moved slowly and were debated fully, even to e x c e s s ! S p e e c h e s for and against m o t i o n s c o u l d be restricted to two minutes, with a o n e minute ext ensi on, a n d speeches only from p r o p o s e r s and s e c o n d s for a n d against the motion, with o n e s p e e c h each way from the floor.

T h i s may seem a restriction o n freedom of expression, but it w o u l d certainly lead to a more efficient union meeting: with m o t i o n s being debated fully, yet c o n c i s e l y , and more action!

Y o u r s sincerely Philip C o l e C h e m Eng 1

Dear Sir T h a n k heavens for the cuts!

I C U having failed (sorry - not tried) to help the majority of its memebers, the G o v e r n m e n t has at last s p r u n g to o u r aid. A 6% r e d u c t i o n in student intake next year. J u s t think of the implications of this. T h e r e will be 6% fewer first years c o m p e t i n g for places in Halls, h o u s e s and flats. Ifthere are less foreign students as well then this m e a n s even less pressure on a c c o m m o d a t i o n . J u s t think for every o n e less overseas student, every o n e less first year, then the better (less worse) is o u r c h a n c e of finding s o m e w h e r e to live next year. C a l l o u s thought isn't it? A n d yet a s s u m i n g still more students came to IC just where is I C U p r o p o s i n g to a c c o m m o d a t e them all?

Probably the answer contemplated involves aleswilling orgies all night, every night, in the U n i o n bar, with sleep being o b t a i n e d d u r i n g lectures and food We have heard a lot recently about lack of support at major and m i n o r events s u c h as rag a n d union meetings. Setting aside the argument that this might be due to the sheer stupidity of these events, has it ever o c c u r r e d that a lack of attendance might stem from the distance required to be travelled to these events if y o u are not living ' o n c a m p u s ' . If more people c o u l d be a c c o m m o d a t e d near to IC then more p e o p l e just might turn up.

Y o u r s faithfully R J Glass Mech Eng 2

Sir A few weeks ago, O X F A M made an appeal to t he J o i n t C h a p l a i n c i e s of the C o l l e g e s in West L o n d o n to raise funds for their Cambodian relief.

This a p p r o a c h w a s d i s c u s s e d at the C h a p l a i n c y G e n e r a l Meeting of O c t o b e r 28th, where I s u b s e quently volunteered to organize the Imperial C o l l e g e e n d of the Collection.

Although debate w a s very unlikely, with an a g e n d a already h o l d i n g six -motions i n c l u d i n g those o n J o h n Shuttleworth, the C o r r i e Bill, E d u c a t i o n C u t s a n d Z i m b a b w e (sic), I d e c i d e d to present a motion to the U G M of N o v e m b e r 6th to draw attention to the current events in C a m b o d i a and the c o l l e c t i o n , today, for the victims thereof.

C o n s e q u e n t l y , it was with great interest that I read M r C o r t a z z i ' s very eloquent letter in last week's F E L I X . I am p r e p a r e d t o admit that this motion, prepared in a hurry and submitted two days after the official deadline, w a s somewhat ill-informed, especially in Notes 21 w h i c h is totally false, but I can find nowhere in my motion, any mention that P o l Pot c a u s e d this disaster, but only that he brought it t o t h e p r e s e n t , horrific c o n c l u s i o n . Even so, I feel I must offer s o m e reply to this letter, as it appears to me, far w o r s e than i l l informed, biased. I notice that in his eagerness to air his anti-Soviet prejudices, i n t r o d u c e d with the e s c a p e - c l a u s e 'most recently', he fails to mention the real c a u s e of this ' p r o l o n g e d war, instability and violence' and I quote from a leaflet provided by ' T h i r d W o r l d • First': "For

This and the invasion by S o u t h Vietnamese troops forced the C a m b o d i a n peasantry from the fields into the cities and a previous food s u r p l u s turned into a massive deficit.

U n l i k e Mr C o r t a z z i , I don't w i s h to extol the virtues of any side in this d e b a c l e - in face one c a n only condemn t h e e x p u l s i o n of millions of ethnic C h i n e s e from Vietnam - but I can still appreciate their p r o b l e m s with Chinese troops to the N o r t h , S h i p s to the East and Allies, the K h m e r Rouge, shelling over the border from C a m b o d i a o n the West. Whether or not o n e agrees with their s u b s e q u e n t c o u r s e of ac t i o n, I can't s e e h o w it leads to the conclusion of 'Nazi-style' e x p a n s i o n i s m a n d the ulimate subjugation of T h a i l a n d .

Furthermore, I wasn't aware that there were over 1/2million ethnic C h i n e s e in C a m b o d i a , let alone

that this many have d r o w n e d at sea at the hand of H e n g S a m r i n .

S o as to stop this letter getting too long, I c a n only refer a n y o n e still interested to articles by J o h n Pilger (New Statesman, Sept 21st and O c t 12th) and the p u b l i c a t i o n ' C a m b o d i a is d y i ng - W h y ? ' p r o d u c e d by T h i r d W o r l d First.

Finally, if M r C o r t a z z i , o r a n y o n e else c o n c e r n e d at t h e plight of the expelled ethnic C h i n e s e 'Boat P e o p l e ' of Vietnam w o u l d like to help in a tangible way, contacts me (c/o the Union) I'll put them in t o u c h with the International Volunteer Service wh are currently w o r k i n g with the refugees in K e n s i n g t o n B a r r a c k s and are desperately short of volunteers. A l s o , a n y o n e wanting to help the starving p e o p l e of C a m b o d i a , there is a c o l l e c t i o n today at IC, the p r o c e e d s of w h i c h will g o to O X F A M .

Thank-you John Whitehouse Chem PG

Dear C o l i n I would like to take this opportunity t o reply t o those fellow members of I C U w h o , at last week's U G M , answered my e x e r c i s i n g my d e m o c r a t i c right to challenge the q u o r u m of the meeting with abuse.

Firstly, I felt that t h e meeting was on the point of m a k i n g a grave mistake by p a s s i n g the motion that was before it a n d therby c o n d o n i n g the murder of u n b o r n children.

S e c o n d l y , I believe that if I C U is to pass s u c h an abhorent motion then it s h o u l d d o s o with the consent of many more of its members than just the m i n i m u m quorum.

I do, however, a p o l o g i s e to the people wanted to get onto the other motions on the agenda, but I feel that the meeting w o u l d have adjourned anyway before we had had the opportunity to d i s c u s s them.

So then, I w o u l d like to urge all members of the U n i o n to c o m e to the next U G M (on the 27th) a n d throw out this revolting m o t i o n .

Yours Alan Burton CCD 3

Dear C o l i n I think t h e r e a r e t o o many letters in F E L I X .

JUST ONE PAGE OF LETTERS THIS WEEK!

MINES Here I sit broken-hearted, paid a penny and only written the first sentence of this week's' Mines' report.

Last Friday night, we had the Aussie Barnight - remember it? Well done, all those who turned up in shorts, corks and sandals, we are believed to have demolished 70 cases of Swan.

MINES BALL Highlight of the year! Five course meal - wine, sherry, port - cabaret, disco - Jazz Band - Bar extension (4:00am). DRESS FORMAL (DJs etc). Buy your tickets now and have a really 'good time (you can even stay for breakfast).

AN

EVENT NOT MISSED!

TO

The following day a dozen bleary-eyed and sore-headed Minespersons crawled into Mines at 8:30am, donned overalls, helmets, lamps and six-packs and. set out for the Lord Mayor's procession. Having found the float and IC Jazz band we duly processed through the city and took over the bar of the London Metal Exchange float and then processed all Photo by Andy Lewis M i n e ' s Float the way back again. We were congratulated by quite a few people on the liveliness and Photo of Bernie by Colin Palmer originality of our float - special thanks must go to Andy Lewis and Pete Gilligan for all their work up to and on the day.

On Monday, a group of blasphemers went to Piccadilly Circus to see 'Life of Brian' and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. If you couldn't get a ticket - sorry but try earlier next time.

Highlights of the well-attended U G M on Tuesday were the unusual slides of the great and good Wyn Jerkins, the semi-abortive hit on T Rev and the awarding of the 'Git' tie to Paddy Hoskin.

All those who turned up for Chaps CJub's Ragarama In the evening thoroughly enjoyed it. The fastest times for orally peeling a banana were Keith Baldie (Mat Sci 2) and Pete Newman (Min 2) both with 3.0 seconds.

In the peel off Keith Baldie won and duly acquired the prize of a bottle of sherry. Final event of the evening was the obstacle race which was won by Barney McCabe (Physics 2) who proceeded to down the contents of his prize - a glass yard.

BE

And so to Wednesday and MORPHY DAY. A thousand thanks to all those who rowed and fought their guts out for Mines. Special congratulations must go to Morphy 8. We won the oar (of course) after a tough battle well done everyone! The most surprising thing of the afternoon was the fact that nearly everyone got into Harrods!

PLEAS FOR H O S T A G E S The U N Security C o u n c i l called for the release of the 100 people held as hostages s i n c e students stormed the U S e m b a s s y in Iran. The P o p e also called for their release.

M e a n w h i l e in A m e r i c a anger over the students' action boiled over into clashes between Iranian students and A m e r i c a n s and boycotts of trade with Iran by unions.

ZIMBABWE/RHODESIA British soldiers will provide the biggest part in the C o m m o n w e a l t h force w h i c h will monitor the ceasefire in R h o d e s i a . The force will be unde r the control of the British Governor.

A n Iranian student shot dead one student and w o u n d e d two others after they had broken the w i n d o w of his flat. T h e s h o o t i n g came as President Carter moved towards retaliatory action against Iranian students in the U S threatening deportation of those w h o s e visas have expired.

A T V d o c u m e n t a r y about 2 m i l l i o n starving in C a m b o d i a has fallen foul of a u n i o n dispute. T h e dispute is about w h o will carry out one of the jobs in the team of four w h i c h s h o u l d have g o n e to C a m b o d i a .

US H O S T A G E S Apparently d u e to t h e mounting international pressure members of the Iranian Revolutionary C o u n c i l o p e n e d the way to negotiations. M r S a d e q G h o t b z a d e h , a C o u c i l member, said there were three c o n d i t i o n s in a p u b l i c a n n o u n c e m e n t by the U S that the S h a h be c o n s i d e r e d a c r i m i nal, the formation of a tribunal to c o n s i d e r charges against the S h a h and the U S s h o u l d accept that the wealth of the S h a h s h o u l d be c o n s i d e r e d as Iranian property.

THE SHORT-LIFE HOUSING GROUP The aims of the short-life housing group are: 1. T O FIND U N U S E D P R O P E R T Y Finding houses is easy! All you do is walk around with your eyes open with a pencil and paper at hand.

2. T O DISCOVER T H E O W N E R S The council are a useful source of information, or just ask the local people.

3. T O P E R S U A D E T H E O W N E R S T O A L L O W THE GROUP TO USE THE HOUSES This is sometimes the most difficult as some people take a bit of persuading.

At the time of writing Rag Week is almost here and several people in R C S are looking knackered already. This is simply a result of too few people trying to do too much be it concerned with Jez, the rag float, Broadsheet or rag collecting.

This is a situation which cannot be allowed to develop into one which many large nebulous institutions will appeal for help, the response to which is a surfeit of willing volunteers. They come along only to be told by the clique at the top that everything is fine and their help is not needed. Insult is added to injury when they are later told that the job was done by the same old people.

As I am sure you apppreciate by now, R C S is not like this and any cliques that do exist are eminently joinable. Over the next week you can prove this for yourself by supporting the rag events which specifially involve R C S .

Start this afternoon and tomorrow morning by helping with our rag float (in the office) and continue by going on the procession in the afternoon (collect cans from the office 5. T O LIVE IN T H E M Normally the occupants pay only the rates ' from 12:00 hours onwards). and bills with a small rent being payable to the Support would also be welcome for the raft Group. This would in fact add up to about five race on Sunday and if your Exec let you down pounds a week. in anyway you can always take your revenge by torturing them on Thursday lunchtime.

The advantages of this scheme are that it Lots of support is also required on Tuesday gives you the chance to work as part of a for the disgusting games at lunchtime group and with people outside college. There makes a change from a Mooney and for the are many people with useful skills such as Fox/O'Boyle insignificant event in the plumbing and plastering etc., on the dole who evening. have more time than students.

4. T O M A K E A N Y N E C E S S A R Y REPAIRS Obviously, the time that the property is available for is an important factor. If it is available for over five years then we are eligible for a Mini-Housing Association Grant (Mini-HAG). For shorter periods, only a few councils give y o u a grant.

successes of the group are at: 1. Shepherdess Walk, Hackney: These houses are in a bad state of repair, but with the aid of grants and a lot of support they are beginning to be habitable.

2. East Sheen: At the other end of the 33 bus route. A four bedroom house, which needs minimal painting and wall-papering but wiring may need attention, any offers of help would be appreciated.

If y o u want a cheap place to stay for next year then you have to start NOW! Interested person, please see Michael Arthur, Welfare Centre.

THE BRAIN DRAIN SQUASH COURTS Temporary repairs have now been made to two of the courts, and these are now available for use.

R O O M BOOKINGS Any member of the Union can book rooms in the building (and JCR) to hold a party etc. free of charge, but a deposit is required in case of any damage being down or mess not being cleared up properly.

I must stress this point about cleaning up after parties; on Sunday night someone using the J C R made no attempt at cleaning up and did a considerable amount of damage, which has resulted in them being fined £140. (The cleaners felt so strongly about the mess, they wrote a letter: See letters' page).

Ending on a bright note Steve White collected over £100 for rag last weekend and a showdown with Zoshia is expected soon.

On the subject of chemists our Ents Chairman in his infinite wisdom is organising a night out to see 'The Life of Brian' on December 4th, so watch out for details or ask your Soc Reps.

If you have any complaints about the Union or you're just naturally inquisitive you can find most people that matter and a few that don't in the Union Bar most Sunday evenings after Officer's meetings.

See you there!

CITY AND GUILDS Last week was quite quiet as far as Guilds were concerned with the only event of note being the Lord Mayors/GUILDS Show where as one of the two free student entries we showed London who GUILDS are. We were seen doing a Boomalaka by about 10,000,000 people on B B C TV and some of us were shown in close-up (the stardom is going to our heads). The show was great fun and thanks to all those who helped build the float.

ON to all the future events....

SATURDAY 17th is the Rag Procession, starting from the Union Office at 11:30. This time we have a street collection licence so we would like as many people to turn up and collect as possible.

SUNDAY 18th has the inter C C U raft race at 10:00am in Princes Gardens so come along to cheer us along. There is a rugby match in the afternoon with some star names, so meet at Beit Arch at 11:15am if you want to go and watch.

MONDAY is the Aerosoc Paper Darts Competition at iunchtime in Beit Quad, so any budding aircraft designers should make one and turn up.

T U E S D A Y sees the day we present some really disgusting competitions In the Quad at lunchtine.

T H U R S D A Y is the Exec torture when buckets of yeuch are put all over the Exec members everyone loves or hates.

FRIDAY is the GUILDS' Carnival, tickets should still be on sale at £2.50 from the Union Office so hurry up and don't miss this astounding event.

HIT SQUAD If you want anyone hit with a custard pie during Rag Week contact Mr N Kalsi or Mr P Leggett in the GUILDS Office with details of who you want hit, where they can be found at various times and any other helpful information. The prices are as follows: 50p students £1.00 notables (ie Exec members etc) £5.00 lecturers (they must agree to be hit) £25.00 Lord F s Bryan C & G U Publicity Officer

BOOKSHOP Some people have commented to me that the bookshop doesn't stock (or often runs out of) b o o k s w h i c h are particularly recommended by their department. Any suggestions on this matter (or any other ways in which people think that the bookshop could be improved) should be given (in written form!) to their Year Academic Rep or Departmental Rep who will hand them on to me.

NOISE Some Beit residents have complained to me about the amount of noise made by some people leaving the Union late at night, particularly as they go through the Archway (which I live directly above). My solution is simple: I've put a bucket of water on the balcony outside my room. Watch out!

THUMBS AWAY There is something of an art to hitchhiking: obviously there is an element of luck, but there are ways and means of improving your chances of getting a lift. The basic principle is making it as easy as possible for a driver to stop for you.

WHERE T O S T A N D Three factors should be considered: 1. Drivers should be able to see you easily.

You need to be able to give them a chance tc think about giving you a lift so the further in advance they see you the better.

2. The traffic must be moving relatively slowly. Cars travelling at 60mph along a fast stretch of road aren't going to suddenly stop when they see a hitch-hiker. Find somewhere where the traffic has been slowed down: roundabouts are usually the best bet - stand about twenty yards past the roundabout where cars can easily stop.

3. There must be room for a vehicle to pull to the side of the road - a lay-by or bus stop so that they don't interfere with the rest of the traffic when they stop for you.

WHICH LIFTS T O A C C E P T T h e longer the better a n d always bear in m i n d t h e c h a n c e s of getting a lift from where the driver d r o p s y o u . M o t o r w a y interchanges s h o u l d b e c h o s e n with care s o that y o u don't get s t u c k at one where there is very little'feed' o n the motorway.

Don't get d r o p p e d off at interchange A b e c a u s e a l l the traffic g o i n g S o u t h will be j o i n i n g t h e motorway at interchange B : get d r o p p e d off at the services before or an earlier interchange. M o t o r w a y interchanges are a bit of a p r o b l e m b e c a u s e y o u can't hitch there: a g a i n , get out at an earlier interchange.

MOTORWAYS It is illegal to hitch on a motorway and the police are pretty strict on it - ÂŁ25 fines are not uncommon. The slip roads are the places to get a lift. Stand just in front of the sign which says No L-drivers, no pedestrian, etc and the police don't normally move you off. At service stations it's a good idea to wander around the car and lorry park badgering lorry drivers as they come back to their cabs.

SIGNS I have great faith in destination signs, especially o n motorways. A sign syaing 'Newcastle please' at the start of the M1 isn't over-ambitious - you're likely to get a lift straight there a n d a c a r o n l y g o i n g to Watford isn't likely to stop for y o u . I find it better to refuse short lifts and wait until I get one g o i n g a r e as o na bl e distance.

ROUTES The most direct route is not always the quickest way to go: choose the route with the heaviest traffic. For example, when heading for the South West the M3/A303 is the most direct way but the M4/M5 is quicker. Always carry a map and have a good look at the route before you start: it is useful to know where a place is before you accept a lift to it. I find Geographers A Z 5 miles to the inch the best because they are very clear and detailed.

ETIQUETTE Where there are several p e o p l e h i t c h i n g it is normal to form a q u e u e facing the o n c o m i n g traffic.

For the first trip of the s e s s i o n it was d e c i d e d to u s e o n e of B R ' s ' R o u n d R o b i n ' tickets, w h i c h offer a cirular trip o n s c h e d u l e d trains, a n d the route d e c i d e d o n w a s E u s t o n C a r l i s l e - S k i p t o n - M o r e c o m b e - Preston Euston.

Departing from C a r l i s l e o n a train for S k i p t o n , w e m a d e o u r w a y over the Settle a n d C a r l i s l e line, w h i c h w a s the object of the trip. T h e line is o n e of the most s c e n i c in B R ' s current passenger network a n d s o m e very g o o d views of the N ortheren P e n n i n e s are to be h a d from the many high v i a d u c t s o n the line. T h e p a s s a g e of L o n g M e g viaduct, w h i c h is sharply curved, resulted in one of the g r o u p trying s o m e interesting a c r o b a t i c s to obtain a photo of the head of the train. S t o p p i n g Settle station proved interesting as the train was s o m e three times the length of the platform, resulting in o u r p u l l i n g up at the station several times and drawing forward repeatedly.

Departing from S k i p t o n after c h a n g i n g trains, this time the train was a Leeds M o r e c o m b e d m u rather than a loco hauled train, w e made o u r way a l o n g the line to Carnforth. C l a p h a m station was a point of interest, as R i c h a r d D u n s f o r d h a d s o m e signalling equipment from here. T h e station turned out to be very a r c h a i c a n d the former s i g n a l b o x h a d long s i n c e d i s a p p e a r e d al o ng with the branch line to T e b a y o n the West C o a s t main line.

A l o n g i s h stop-over in M o r e c o m b e again saw the g r o u p dividing into the bus-freaks a n d those more interested in food. A visit to a restaurant on the sea-front saw us served with food c o s t i n g twice as m u c h as we h a d ordered, a n d after s o m e interesting l anguag e we left, somewhat lighter in the pocket than intended.

T h e journey back to E u s t o n , c h a n g i n g trains at L a n c a s t e r a n d Preston was after dark and saw us reaching E u s t o n again at 22:40.

A n interesting trip a n d well worth repeating at s o m e point in the future, if future rail-sevice cuts don't see the Settle a n d C a r l i s l e line being axed, as has been threatened from time to time.

PHOTOSOC Next Wednesday (November 21st), we will be visiting the Royal College of Art photographic department in Cromwell Road. The people going will be shown around the place and there should be an opportunity to take some pictures of models (who will hopefully be provided). There is a limit to the number of people who may go, so please sign up on the list on the Photosoc noticeboard (Union ground floor, by Gents toilet) as soon as possible.

With Rag Week well in progress now here's news of the next big event to look forward to at Imperial. From the 29th November to the 6th December ICU is presenting Environmental Week.

A quick flick through the pages of any of the big nationals will turn up news on progress, development and decisions all concerning the Environment. These issues will affect the quality and type of life we will all have and shape the future.

It isn't news to anyboby that this is a critical and crucial time for these issues. What is ihe

E N V

future of nuclear power after the Three Mile Island incident?

What about the 250 sq. km area proposed for mining in Belvoir-is it the jobs.the coal or the view which is more important?^ With a proposed cut in the grant to London Transport what is the future of buses?

WlAk.

These and other current issues affect people in every department in this.college in every subject. Environmental Week has daily debates and discussions on all the topics which concern you, with views from both sides.

The subjects range from 'the chemical aspects of faiming and food production' to the nuclear power question and Britain's future energy policy. For each topic we have the speakers that really matter; Sir Derek Ezra, David Owen, The Lord Flowers, Tom Burke, Prof Scorer, Dr Goddard, Mr North from A D A S , Mr Sandford from the G L C and many more. Also featured will be an Env Fair on Wed 5th December. At this, over a pint of beer, you can meet many environmentalists and researches, see relevant films, listen to speeches etc etc. So keep this date free. This week will also have its action spot. The weekend of the 1st and 2nd of December all those interested can go and effectively create an adventure playground for London children. Building structures, painting murals etc means it should be great fun.

In next week' FELIX we will be putting in part 1 of the ENV WEEK PULL OUT. This will give a run down of the topics for discussion,times.venues and speakers. So watch out for this and keep the dates free in your diary and also look out for the dayglow posters which you will be going up shortly.

Last week we published two env articles, one being an anti-nuclear argument. During the week you will be able to hear both sides to the argument allowing you to construct your own personal opinion. This is what env week is all about so turn up and take part.

AND

T o be or not t o be, that w a s t h e q u e s t i o n .

The answer: N O ! T h e league n o l o n g e r exists.

That t h u n d e r o u s l y p o p u l a r plaything of Sanshit Teapot has ceased beyond reasonable doubt, to exist. B u t still, IC A a n d B teams m a n a g e d to play friendlies. T h e A team played L S E . Jeffrey D o n a l d Stlkes K e y m e r played first a n d I must say', h e d o e s seem to have lost s o m e of his c u d d l i n e s s maybe due t o his visit to the ' C l i n i c ' but he still managed to t h w a p e h i s o p p o n e n t w h o was a bit g o o d ; O K ! S e c o n d o n was C h r i s V o n T r i p p w h o was heard h u m m i n g ' M y B a l l s are A l i v e With the S o u n d of M u s i c ' , but this didn't affect his s c r e w i n g or p o s i t i o n a l 'fore'play a n d he w o n by kilometres. Next t o t h e table strode Dave ' B u r t o n o n the B u t t o n ' C r o s s l o v e , in a m a t c h i n g two-piece suit in pretty b r o w n (crap coloured). C o n t i n u a l l y g r o o m i n g himself, h e spiffingly w o n the m a t c h - jolly g o o d s h o w .

O n t o the table c a m e Teapot, w h o w a s t o ld 'get d o w n from the table. Y o u ' r e not in the jungle now'. G e t t i n g d o w n , h e removed his banana and p i c k e d u p his c u e . H e w o n easily on the b w o w n . Last o n was Martin (by s p e c i a l request) P w o u d l o v e . H i s h e a d c a m e t h r o u g h the door followed a minute later b y the rest of his body. H e s h r u n k t o his n o r m a l seven feet and started with t h e g a m e w h e r e h e easily beat his o p p o n e n t (in t h e h e a d maybe!).

T e a m : G K e y m u i r (Capt), C Tripe, D C r o s s w i r e , S T e a p o t a n d M Proudl over.

T h e B team played C h a r i n g C r o s s . It w a s only friendly so after L e c l e z i o has beaten up a few of his o w n team m e m b e r s , they got d o w n to the serious b u s i n e s s i n h a n d . A l a n ' J R R T o l k e i n ' Leclezio, w h o has often given c l o t h ripping performances, s a i d d u r i n g the m a t c h 'this is even more enjoyable t h a n b e i n g a garden gnome'.

I can't believe that blasphemy, a n d if fairyland find out, I'm sure K i n g Fairy will b a n i s h h i m to G o b b l e d y G o b b l e d y land. B u t h e w o n anyway.

T o m s k c o m m i t t e d the c a r d i n a l sin of l o s i n g a n d must suffer the inevitable penalty - a c o m p u l s o r y s e a s o n ticket to C h e l s e a Football c l u b (no flogging it to Sanshit).

H o w c o u l d C h r i s Calvert follow this! He couldn't: O u r Sekretry Steve J e a n s d i d . What a Brutus he is. H e w r a n g l e d s o m e g o o d moves and g a i n e d s o m e leeway.

H o w c o u l d our m i l d m a n n e r e d ace S e a m u s A r m s t r o n g follow this (note repetition). H e just l o o k e d his o p p o n e n t in the eyes a n d S e a m u s ' g l o o m y smirk, froze to a redundant plazma, his o p p o n e n t . H i s o p p o n e n t was just lovelost a n d the g a m e s w a s of n o m o r interest, so S e a m u s w o n . (I hear his opponent has a b r o k e n heart). Last o n was K r e z e w s k i a n d after ten minutes n a m e bartering, he beat hs o p p o n e n t t o a degenerate, wormeaten, w o m b a t d o ' s p u l p .

T h i s three boat team event attracted sixteen entries from as far away as C o r n w a l l a n d R o c h d a l e , a n d included-an IC team, a n d the U L 1st team w h i c h has four IC members. T e a m s were split into two groups of eight with the top two in each g r o u p going into the semi-finals.

U L 1sts, meanwhile, qualified with only o n e defeat, but lost narrowly in the semi-final t o eventual winners C u s t a w a y s (consisting of ex U L members).

A l l in all this w a s a p r o m i s i n g start t o t h e s e a s o n by IC against s o m e very g o o d opposition.

IC team: J o h n W i l l i a m s (Captain), Dave C u l s h a w , A l a n Beaney, Nick Ajderian, J a m e s Baxter, and C o l i n Murray.

U L 1sts team: Dave Derby (IC), Geoff T i t m u s s (IC), Jan R o b s o n (IC), C h r i s L e w i s (IC), Mark Rushall (Chelsea) a n d A N O t h e r (UC).

CROSS COUNTRY After a bit of struggle, having arrived at G u i l d f o r d with only two runners d u e to their being another race o n in L o n d o n as well, we m a n a g e d to get together a team for the Stag Hill relay after meeting Mark P i c k a r d there w h o opted to r u n twice a n d by b o r r o w i n g another two runners.

T h e race w a s a 6x2mile relay a n d w a s o n the roads a r o u n d the c a m p u s a n d was a very fast c o u r s e .

The first runner off was G a r y L o n g h u r s t w h o strolled r o u n d c o m i n g in in a mediocre 20th position to hand over to Mark P i c k a r d who as usual ran well b r i n g i n g the team up to 7th position as he handed over to R u s s Weston w h o ran well against a very fast field c o m i n g in 19th.

The fourth runner off was Dave Barret who also found the c o u r s e rather fast c o m i n g in 24th handing over to our guest runner Derek

who maintained the s a m e position to h a n d over to the u n s t o p p a b l e Mark P i c k a r d w h o managed to regain three places in a field that was by now a bit s p r e a d out, to finish the race in 21st position.

The race was w o n by B o r o u g h R o a d C o l l e g e with their 2 n d a n d 3rd teams finishing 2 n d a n d 4th, the 3rd team h o m e was Bristol University.

After the race we were able to fill ourselves up at tea having tickets for t w o teams although we only had one team, a l t h o u g h this was only after w e m a n a g e d to retrieve the tea tickets w h i c h s o m e idiot had given in with the valuables.

Having thus i n d u l g e d ourselves w e bade ourselves farewells to our guest r u n n e r s a n d the two of us headed back to L o n d o n whilst M o r k rode off into the sunset b o u n d for another race.

TENPIN BOWLING A p r o m i s i n g 8-2 defeat. T h e c l u b played its first Universities a n d C o l l e g e s T B A match last S a t u r d a y h o m e to Brunei. F o r a c h a n g e the o r g a n i s a t i o n went well, perhaps t o o well, giving us three full mens' teams, the full ladies' team and even two reserves. O n top of this everyone arrived o n time (just) despite the Secretary's a m a z i n g navigation - from Princes G a r d e n s to H a m m e r s m i t h B r i d g e via Battersea B r i d g e !

S o far, s o g o o d . T h e n the m a t c h started.

T h e first g a m e (of three) looked hopeful. T h e first team were c o n t i n u i n g from their s u c c e s s of last year. T h e s e c o n d s also w o n , the ladies d i d well in losing narrowly, b u t t h e t h i r d s were annihilated.

However B r u n e i first a n d seconds put up excellent bowling performances m a k i n g our first struggle to get their w i n . T h e s e c o n d s lost despite great bow ling from J o e N g , Albert Y u e a n d Robert C h e n g , all with 500 series: the thirds a n d ladies were defeated heavily following g o o d fightbacks.

'A p r o m i s i n g defeat' I s a i d ? Well, a s expected, B r u n e i have a strong team and had played two matches prior t o this, our first. It is

(by a n o p t i m i s t i c E x e c ) that hoped S o u t h a m p t o n a n d P o r t s m o u t h will not b e s o strong. This remains to be seen.

Teams First: R o n J o h n s o n , J o h n Knight, B r i a n MacGowan, Danny Lau and Tubby Woo. S e c o n d : Albert Y u e , L a w r e n c e P o o n , N i g e l Heath, Robert C h e n g a n d J o s e p h N g .

T h i r d : N e i l Hunt, R a y C o o k , N i g e l W i n d s o r , J O e W o n g a n d T i m Hillyer.

Ladies: Delia W o n g , R u b y W o n g , M e r h a l a Thurai, M a r i e C h e o n g a n d L o u i s a L a u .

A n d s p e c i a l thanks to o u r reserves: Robert T h o n g a n d Paul J e y n e s .

T h e L e a g u e is p r o g r e s s i n g well; but there are still a few v a c a n c i e s in teams. O f c o u r s e everyone is w e l c o m e to c o m e a l o n g .

Transport arrangements have altered slightly in that m i n i b u s e s and/or cars will leave A e r o (opposite Beit Arch) o n W e d n e s d a y s at 2:30 prompt.

See y o u there, Tim. P S - If any of the E x e c bowl a sub - 100 g a m e in the L e a g u e or in a m a t c h , the guilty party will stand a r o u n d in Stans.

3rds S M A S H 2nds O n a very wet a n d w i n d y day, against all o d d s the 3rds set about to disrupt the 2nds play with s o m e v i c i o u s t a c k l i n g . P l a y i n g with the w i n d in the first half, the 3rds ran rings r o u n d the 2nds static midfield. T h e break t h r o u g h c a m e w h e n A Betts failed to hold on to fierce s h o t from E s b e r g e r a n d D M c P h a i l ran into score. A t y p i c a l s p a r k l i n g run from A r m s t r o n g left Merrit with a c l e a r cut c h a n c e w h o b l a s t e d the ball home. After the break the w i n d got w o r se a n d the battle then l o o k e d all uphill, e s p e c i a l l y as P L a k i n brilliantly g u i d e d a looping cross into his o w n goal.

Immediately after the restart, A D o n a l d s o n h e a d e d in from a c o r n e r to m a k e the s c o r e 31. At this p o i n t t h e 2 n d s started to play a little, with an effort from D D e a n just s k i m m i n g the o u t s i d e of the post, but the defence held out like the Berlin W a l l . W i t h time r u n n i n g out for the 2nds, tempers b e g a n to fray with P h i l N i c c o l l s b o i l i n g over but the situation was s o o n rectified w h e n A C a b l e dealt with h i m a c c o r d i n g l y . T h e n with a g o o d move up the left h a n d s i d e from A P h i l l i p s a n d A D o n a l d s o n , D M c P h a i l ran in to tap h o m e his s e c o n d w h i c h w r a p p e d it up 4-1.

RUGBY IMPERIAL C O L L E G E 2nds BEATEN BY RCS: 7 - 19 A c o u p l e of late fixture c a n c e l l a t i o n s meant that IC 2nds faced the mighty R C S rugby m a c h i n e in a needle-match at H a r l i n g t o n .

R C S w e r e out to prove that their unfeeaten r e c o r d was no fluke, a n d IC were trying to erase the m e m o r y of a h u m i l i a t i n g 70 points defeat the previous week. After s c o r i n g a penalty in the first five minutes, it l o o k e d as t h o u g h the u n d e r d o g s might be in with a c h a n c e . However, R C S s o o n moved into the lead with a try by T i m L a t h a m , following a s u p e r b run a l o n g the w i n g by R o b i n ' B o y W o n d e r ' R i c h a r d s . Will P r i c e i n c r e a s e d this lead w h e n he c r o s s e d the IC line from a five y a r d s c r u m . G o i n g into the s e c o n d half with the w i n d b e h i n d them, R C S were l o o k i n g for a big score. T h e c o n t i n u o u s p r e s s u r e o n the IC defence led to o n e or two scuffles, but the referee kept the g a m e u n d e r c o n t r o l . R o b i n R i c h a r d s s c o r e d the try he had e a r n e d in the first half, after a particularly u n c o o r d i n a t e d IC threequarter had d r o p p e d the ball. A T i m L a t h a m penalty made the s c o r e 15-3. IC m a n a g e d to get back into the g a m e briefly a n d B o b T h o m a s , IC's best player by far, b e c a m e the first m a n to c r o s s the R C S line this s e a s o n . T h e r e was never any c h a n c e of a s h o c k defat for R C S , a n d Paul H o l l e y . s o i l e d the victory with a try in the final n j n u t e s , m a k i n g the final s c o r e 19-7 to R C S .

Finally, everybody in R C S rugby w o u n like to c o n g r a t u l a t e J o h n N o r t o n o n being a p p o i n t e d c a p t a i n of IC 2nds. They w o u l d a l s o like to r e m i n d h i m that he left R C S 'in order to play for a w i n n i n g team'.
