ACCOMMODATION QUESTIONNAIRE

A N D PARKING SPACES

M o r e trees are to be planted in Imperial College R o a d . T h e Rector gave his permission so as to further improve the visual beauty of College. T h e trees will be at the expense of five or so parking spaces. F o r the mean time these permit holders will be able to use the visitor's car p a r k a n d after this year t h e s e spaces will be lost.

S2 £ * .a; •g «S

Roger Stotesbury adds: " T h e present move must be seen in relation to the past. T h e patch of grass in front of O l d Chemistry is grass because the Rector once said, " P u t grass there". At the time of the rebuilding of College it. was suggested by some that underground car parks be built. Furthermore, it is also said that the College had the option of purchasing the car parking space under the Albert H a l l . "

T h e R e c t o r ' s p o l i c y of n o t subsidising 'non-academic' services suggest changes may be made to present parking arrangements.

B O O K S H O P PROFITS The U n i o n is to continue to make a profit out of the B o o k s h o p . A motion at Monday's C o u n c i l calling for the current profit to be claimed o n the per capita was defeated. M a l c o m Brain, who proposed the motion, suggested that the prices of staionery should be reduced as the B o o k s h o p was the only 'service' in College to make a profit. T h e majority of Council felt that to reduce the profit, for the one year that we * were on the per capita system would be foolhardy move.

W E I G H T TRAINING A new ten station multigym has been bought (at great expense) and is n o w i n s t a l l e d in t h e S p o r t s Centre. T h e equipment is for use by any member of I C U at a cost of 15p per session (free for Weights C l u b members). F o r the moment, clubs will not be allowed to book the multigy. Please read the safety r u l e s o n tfie wall c h a r t in the Sports Centre before using the equipment.

SHOP Simon Perry (Chairman, Refectory Suggestions and Complaints Committee) is a n x i o u s that everyone knows, and makes use of, the Southside S h o p . In Topic he writes: " D i d you know that the Imperial College shop — situated opposite the main porter's lodge in South Side — stocks not only a general range of groceries, bread, butter, eggs, milk, frozen foods, cigarettes and confectionery, but also batteries, combs, razor blades, toothbrushes and a large selection of other useful items! " P r i c e s are as competitve as we can reasonably make them, and whenever possible, goods will be sold at 'on special offer' prices.

BOOKSHOP RETIREMENT John Samworth, Bookshop Manager, is to retire at the e n d of the summer for personal reasons.

THE RECTOR ATTENDS COUNCIL On Monday the Rector attended the 228th meeting of Imperial College Union Council held in the Concert Hall. He briefly outlined his opinions of the future of the College in the face of the Government expenditure cuts.

Savings Methods of gaining increased income were also mentioned. For instance the possibility of gradually removing the valuable gravel on which the sports ground at Hariington stand is being investigated. These would be minimum disruption to facilities (using a gradual mining/replacement system) and a considerable amount of money could be earnt.

Finance Savings of the of one million pounds per year, for the next three or four years were revealed to be necessary. This, in his opinion, meant that no area of College life could escape examination, but academic standards of primary i m p o r t a n c e . Certain departments were singled out as being already under scrutiny, in particular, Aeronautical Engineering, C C D , Botany, Zoology and the Department of the History of S c i e n c e and T e c h n o l o g y . T h e possibilities of combining departments and changing courses is being closely examined.

Fees

A matter of considerable importance to students is the question of overseas students' fees. From next October the College will be charging the recommended minimum fees to foreign students (ie, £2,000 pa for Maths and £3,000 pa otherwise). He stressed that this is a minimum fee, not the 'full economic' fee which the Government would like to see. This would have the effect of possibly reducing overseas student numbers drastically in the next few years. The Rector felt that this was not at all desireable and added that He made one point very obvious; there would be absolutely no non-academic matters must be made question of a hardship fund; students to pay their way or they must go. In at present on courses would be particular the halls of residence must helped up the College's financial bear the total cost of their operation; •capability, but new students would this means that administrative costs be expected to pay their fees or will be shifted from College onto the leave. halls account and this, of necessity, | means a cut in the standards and N o Guarantees In answer to questions from the level of cleaning.

members of Council, the Rector revealed that he could offer no guarantees in any field. Everything would be examined and nothing can be stated about priorities at present. He did feel, however, that the proportion of women at IC should be increased by attempting to maintain facilities such as nursery. It was obvious that he feels more women should enter the fields of Science and Engineering. On the topic of four year engineering courses following the Finniston Report, the Rector stated that although no decisions were possible now, he hoped that Imperial could be one of the few colleges offering the four year M Eng qualification. Financial support for these courses would then be made available by the Government. In conclusion, he felt that it was important that we should maintain good spirits and make the best of an apparently bleak few years.

Tuesday saw the publication of the report of the working party on medical and dental teaching resources. The working party, chaired by the L o r d Flowers, Rector of Imperial College, recommends that the thirty-four separate medical and teaching institutions in London should be regrouped into six new schools of medicine and dentistry. This would involve closing Westminster Hospital medical school and several other London medical institutes. The Editor of FELIX interviewed two third year medical students from Westminster who had just returned from a demonstration outside the University of London. They had been shouting slogans: "Some Flowers smell but this one stinks", etc. Both BBC and ITN gave extensive coverage to the L o r d Flowers press conference and the medical student demonstrations. An interview with the Lord Flowers was the lead item on the BBC 5:40 news. The nurses at St Stephen's gave a cool response to the Lord Flowers' statement, "Although the hospitals don't like the way the cutbacks affect their backyard . . . they will accept it." The nurses resolved not to allow the report to be easily accepted. The Dean of Westminster, Dr John Wyman, has told the medical students that "the hands of the authorities at Westminster are tied, but the students have the opportunity to be free to protest."

called F L A C (rumoured to stand for Flowers Liquidation Action Committee) will voice opposition and organise demonstrations over â&#x20AC;˘the next few months. The arguments for keeping Westminster Teaching Hospital alive is that it has the highest first time pass rate and unmatched honours results. The students argued that the cost of training a doctor at Westminster is less than at most teaching establishments in London. One argument for closing the hospital was that it was small. However, the medical students commented that it was not that small (seventh largest out of twelve), but it was cost effective. "The patients will suffer." Westminster's strong points are its radiotherapy unit, which consultants have spent years to establish. Also, Westminster is reknown for its specialist work with bone marrow as well as having an important children's section. "Westminster has a tradition that has developed over one hundred and fifty years. It can't be recreated or amalgamated." The students blamed the authorities for overspending their budget on two new hospitals. They said it would cost twenty million pounds to transfer departments to St Thomas' and to carry that out would be like "making a first division team play with the fourth division's equipment . . . Tommies just haven't got it."

DEBATE O N OVERSEAS AID The house suggests that the Western countries hinder the progress of developing countries D e p e n d i n g o n what y o u m e a n by ' p r o g r e s s ' , ie, e c o n o m i c d e v e l o p m e n t , education, and industry, Trevor Phillips (ex IC Union President, now President of N U S ) put over his motion in a strong, humorous and fluid way, hardly pausing f o r b r e a t h a s he i n t e r j e c t e d f a c t s , and statistics with personal viewpoints. T h e West hindered the East, or, as he put it, the North hindered the South by lending money (in meagre proportions) on the one hand, only to demand enormous repayment of interest, causing the Third World to be totally beholden to the West. M r Phillips, although careful to point out that his sentiments did not entirely lie w i t h C o m m u n i s t r e g i m e s , p o i n t e d to China and Russia as prime examples of 'impoverished' countires who, without any aid from the West, developed independently (a red herring to be picked up later by the opposition). Undetered by the face-pulling and notepassing tactics adopted by the other side, he could well have continued to illustrate his point past the generous time limit allowed by M r R o b e r t s o n , C h a i r m a n , who had introduced the debate by describing himself as "possibly a little bit of a i d " having worked in a Third World country for nine years. " A Liberal" he hastened to add. Revenge for the "off-putting" tactics came to Trevor Phillips when Martin Stevens, M P for Fulham, stood up to speak against the motion. O u t came the worry beads, "and despite M r Phillips' calm countenance, the beads had the desired effect of being more fascinating than M r Stevens's speech.

M r Stevens pointed to several examples of countries who had almost pleaded to be re-included under British rule, which, let's face it, had provided aid in the form of education and trade. If it hadn't been for the British, the Indians and Egyptians wouldn't be producing cotton goods now. How easy it was to obtan a glass of milk in Russia became a case in point: " V e r y difficult," said M r Stevens. "Quite easy," stated Martin Lockett, seconding the motion. " A h , but did you take your own glass?" retorted Mr Stevens. M r Lockett managed to steer the debate back to the hindrance of foreign aid by some impressive facts, and a concise s u m m i n g - u p of what was b e c o m i n g a somewhat vague outline of the motion. Last to speak against the motion was M r Albert Barnafo, a Social and Economic Studies student. His carefully prepared speech was delivered with great conviction and an even greater number of statistics, some of which appeared to be of more use to his opponents, particularly one pertaining to aid getting into the wrong hands and being used to buy houses for the daughters of Nigerian government ministers; as good a reason as any, I thought, not to give it in the first place. T h e floor was itching to make comments, speeches, accusations and agreements but time was short, and a debate that could have continued long into the afternoon, judging by the excitement generated, had to be curtailed, with just time for a vote in the closing minute. Needless to say, Trevor Phillips and C o speaking on the motion, won by a large majority, although I tend to think that the convictions of the audience lay strongly with the motion and M r Phillips anyway, prior to the debate.

LONDON STUDENT DRAMA FESTIVAL A n enterprising and innovative scheme, the London Student Drama Festival sponsored by the Evening News is drawing to a close. This agglomeration of events was designed basically to bridge the gap between various student dramatic societies and professional acting and comprised a large number of p e r f o r m a n c e s of v a r i o u s plays and theatrical workshops at various times of the day in the Collegiate Theatre, G o r d o n Street. Scheduled to run for twelve days, a little spice was added by offering prizes and getting a few famous names to volunteer their expertise. O n paper it's been a very good idea, being as far-reaching as involving a group of borstal inmates in a dramatic production. In practice the organisers more than likely f o u n d most trouble in publicising the festival; with their festival offices in the U L U building, Malet Street, they suffer from the o l d . D r o b l e m of being too far removed from other centres of student life. I doubt that many people at IC knew of the existence of the festival, let alone had any plans to participate or spectate. If you look carefully, maybe you'll see their posters and then again maybe you won't. Perhaps the fault lies inthe lack of any network through which to pass information, which is a great shame having sen the small band of enthusiastic coordinators in the Festival offices, They were all very busy sending out information and publicity, but it might save them a lot of time and effort if they could check exactly what effect it was having. In the meantime if we hear about any more manifestations of histrionics, we'll let you know.

THE MICROCOMPUTER CLUB • T h e Microcomputer C l u b was founded bu a ornun of neoole who felt that the Imperial College of Science and T e c h nology should give its members access to what all the pupils call " N e w Technology" w i t h o u t h a v i n g to f o r k o u t the £ 2 0 0 required to get a decent micro up and running. T h e C l u b is now the proud owner of a complete system, with eight inch disks and a printer and a paper tape readerpunch. S o we have achieved our initial objective, there is a m i c r o w h i c h any member of College may use. T h e C l u b also arranges talks, demonstrations and other events. O n Wednesday of this week we held an O p e n Day, when many members of the club displayed their micro processor systems. W e were amazed by the number of people who turned up (including the R e c t o r w h o is o u r H o n P r e s ) w h i c h prompted our sec to say, " W h i c h just goes to show that there are many more p e o p l e i n t e r e s t e d in m i c r o s than most people think — including us!" A t the show there were about ten or twelve microprocessors on display, most of them running games programs, but one was playing music — a M k 14 and the Club's system was doing nothing, because nobody's yet written any programs for it. So, if you spend 50p per day on Space Invaders then a compukit 101 is for you — there was one micro which was running Space Invaders from 1:00pm to 3:00pm almost without a break.

R E V I E W S 9HHHI I suppose it is just possible that is has escaped your notice that there is an IC E N T S gig this coming Sunday (2nd March). Albertos Y Los Trios Paranois, in case y o u didn't k n o w , have c h a n g e d their name to the Charlie Parkas. This, I gather is partly due to the death of one member and the leaving of another, and also due to a change in musical direction. Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that they have always been great to listen to and expert satirists. In fact their satire transcends the raw material itself, they have been known to precede fashion and they were making punks look silly before anyone had h e a r d of the S e x P i s t o l s . Their stage show, Snuff Rock, featuring Norman Sleak, produced what must go down in history as the best punk E P ever T h i s f e a t u r e d one m a d e : Snuff Rock. t r a c k of c o m p l e t e l y m i n d b o g g l i n g excellence Kill. O n e minute and twentynine seconds of pure T N T , it stands as the ultimate punk song, even though it is a pisstake. "I'm gonna cut me liver out and shove it in your face", sums it up fairly well, although it is impossible to describe listening to it properly without resorting to hitting oneself on the head with a large and heavy piece six inches of Kings Road punk skin. Punk, however, is now passe and so these fun-filled fellows have turned their attention to M o d . This tour, the 'March Of The Slobs' tour is obviously a poke at the muchpublicised Mod revival, and their new single Robin Hood, has once again proved they can hit the mark better than anyone. After all, we've had ska versions of old songs like Tears Of A Clown so why not Robin Hood? I leave it to your imagination to what it sounds like, although you can hear it on the radio if you know when to listen, or else I'm certain you'll get a much better impression if you see it done live, this Sunday, Imperial College, Great Hall. G e t your tickets now boys and girls, or you'll be sorry. O f c o u r s e there is o n e o t h e r g o o d reason for going to Sunday's concert, the wonderful scintillating support group.

REVIEWSI BERLIN/RED RINSE Union Concert Hall It would seem logical to start with the support band, who, due to the Time Flies splitting up o n the evening prior to this gig, turned out to be a four piece band called Red Rinse, who appeared on stage complete with washing line. Right from the very beginning they brought back memories of Slade, though a little more serious in their attitude to the music, and in some respects lacking the polish that Slade had. T h e numbers were all fairly tight, short, and gave the impression that the band had come from a wo/king class b a c k g r o u n d , especially w h e n singing about subjects such as 'I talk like that'. I couldn't help feeling that this particular outfit would be more suited to playing the pub scene than support to a heavy metal band, though in fairness they were better t h a n s o m e s u p p o r t acts I've seen at H a m m e r s m i t h . T a l k i n g of being m o r e suited to pubs, they tell me that they can be found most Saturday evenings in a new rock venue in East Acton, the O a k T r e e Public House on Westway. O n e number that they didn't play that would have gone done well was Y o u Can't Keep A Good Drum Kit Down. O n e final, though I wonder what image this band would have chosen in 1978? Berlin started as they meant to go on, and immediately it became apparent that t h e r e was s o m e t h i n g out of p l a c e . (I eventually worked out what it was, I c o u l d a c t u a l l y s e e t h i s g r o u p , not something that I usually can from the back of the circle of the Hammersmith O d e o n , where I usually go to see groups like this.) T h e music was excellent, marred only by occasional feedback, and gave the impression of good, 'classic', heavy metal, very professionally put over, with some excellent guitar throughout the s et . T h e style of l i g h t i n g e m p l o y e d r e m i n d e d me of R u s h last year, and although I kept expecting to see clouds of dry ice, unfortunately it never came. One thing I did like about the group was the use of two guitars, though unfortunately their use in harmony can only be really a p p r e c i a t e d w i t h the u s e of s t e r o . headphones. Personal favourite of the evening had to be Lady Of Mars. I could sum the concert up in one word, but modesty prevents me, however, if you did miss them, well tough, I'm just hoping that they're o n vinyl later this year (rumour has it they could be on a future 'Metal For Muthas' album, though they will have to change their name as there is already a Berlin on record at present. A name change has one advantage, when you take out a mortgage to see them at Wembley in two years, you won't feel so bad that you missed them at IC, because you won't immediately make the connection b e t w e e n the two n a m e s ) . O n c e final comment, the concert was one of t h o s e y o u c o m e out t h i n k i n g , " W h y haven't they released a live album?"

T H E 16 T O N S T O U R Lewisham Odeon It was family night out at the Lewisham O d e o n , with Punk, Country and Western, Rhythm and Blues, Reggae and tearing the roof off the Lewisham O d e o n . First on was Blast Furnace Revenge with their own style of driving rhythm and blues (the blue wave), they were fairly good and played one outstanding slow blues number, the other high spot being Can't Stop The Boy, an old song from the days when they were Blast Furnace A n d T h e Heatwaves. T h e n it was time for Jamaican toaster Mikey Dread to give out some sharp talking over a background of rockers' rebel music. Next on was Joe Ely (and his band) who, as far as I can tell, is supposed to be some kind of 'New Wave C o w b o y ' from T e x a s . H e played fairly conventional rock and although he was the better side of average, I won't lose any sleep if I never see him again. After him came more tall toasts and deep dubs from Mikey Dread. T h e n , to the strains of What Do You Shift Sixteen Tons/And Deeper In Get/Another Day Older/And Debt (hence S i x t e e n T o n s T o u r ) , the Clash took the stage and fired up with Clash City Rockers.

M U C H PRESSURE L P THE SELECTOR

The detiut album from the Selector and it is another Two-Tone joyous killer that consists of w h o o p i n g ska a n d English reggae. When I saw Selector on the TwoTone tour I was impressed by them and having listened to this album, I'm even •more impressed. There are thirteen songs on the album which are all played very well the overall sound is very tight. The best of the album is represented by T h e y Make Me Mad, Missing Words, Street Feeling, My Collie (Not A Dog), Too Much Pressure, Out a n d Carry Go Bring On the Streets Come which are so good that they are frightening. The rest of the songs are also

jackets, zips, parachute suits, etc, of the Westway Guerillas. Musically they were the best I've ever heard them live, ie, only one guitar packed in and Strummer kept his v o i c e t h r o u g h o u t . T h e y p l a y e d Vain, superlative v e r s i o n s of Train In (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais and Capitol Radio as well as playing a fair selection of singles and album tracks from all three albums. They worked hard on stage, putting their all into the set, as a l w a y s . K e y b o a r d s w e r e p l a y e d by Blockhead Mickey Gallagher, who seems to now be the fifth member of the Clash. However, the Clash didn't appear as threatening or subversive as they have d o n e o n past o c c a s i o n s , s e e m i n g to e x p e c t favourable a u d i e n c e r e a c t i o n , which, whilst you expect that from duff disco bands like Pink Floyd or Genesis, is w o r r y i n g c o m i n g from the C l a s h . T h e Clash unfortunately have an unenviable choice to make, either to pander to the tastes of the morons who shout White Riot throughout the set, or to be really radical a n d u n c o m p r o m i s i n g a n d risk losing support. I came away knowing that I'd seen a fine band play a fine concert, but nagging doubts persisted. People are starting to say that the Clash will be the 'Rolling Stones of the '80s' — I'd rather they b r o k e up now t h a n for that to happen to them.

very good. T h e band have got a stunning insight on real life, which they are able to put a c r o s s w i t h o u t t a l k i n g d o w n or preaching to you. The flying horn section of Dick Cauthell and Rico also turn up on the album. Rico's been in reggae and ska since it started and it's nice to see him getting fame and fortune through the Specials, the Selector and Linton Kwesi Johnson. Well, another near perfect release from Two-Tone which warms the heart. If you are still dumb enough to think the Two T o n e bands are S e c r e t Affair type mindless mods, do some rethinking — these are Rude boys and girls who are inventive rather than regressive. This is real music by real people.

Unfortunately normality returned a n d the prospect of an early e x o d u s to the U n i o n B a r faded as the next g a m e d i d not finish for another two ho urs. F r o m very early o n , it was evident that C e n t y m c a were m u c h stronger o n the top boards but the g a m e s were more evenly m a t c h e d lower d o w n . O n board two, J o n F r e e m a n q u i c k l y lost a pawn a n d was struggling from then o n while Phil Maguire, o n the top board, played passively in the o p e n i n g a n d s o o n had a difficult position.

B r i a n T a n g p r o d u c e d a bold piece sacrifice, on board four, a n d l o o k e d set for a g o o d win but B o b C o l e s struggled against an unusual o p e n i n g set-up a n d was s o o n in trouble.

BALDWIN HAT TRCK CLINCHES IT FOR IC After G e o r g e A d a c h ' s failure to sign K e v i n K e e g a n a n d t h e p r e v i o u s 9-1 defeat by G u y s Hospital left the sixths morale at a low e b b . With the a b s e n c e of s u c h h o u s e h o l d n a m e s as D a v e Bradley, Ismael S o l a , Steve Davies and G a r y Slater it looked as t h o u g h the sixths w o u l d be left to s c r a p e up a team again. In fact this was not the c a s e , as five ' i m p o r t e d s u p e r s t a r s ' from other teams c a m e to the rescue a n d played an invaluable part in IC's win. T h e g a m e was even to begin with a n d both s i d e s c r e a t e d s o m e half c h a n c e s . T h e n , from Pete C u r z o n ' s p i n - p o i n t e d c o r n e r a lovely header by Mark C l e g g put IC into the lead.

K e n Baldwin p o u n c e d a few minutes later when the St G e o r g e s ' goalkeeper failed to hold a shot. Ken's hat trick s o o n followed from a particularly g o o d IC move. In the s e c o n d half Nigel A u d i n (the first half referee) replaced K e n Baldwin wh o had an ankle injury.

TABLE TENNIS Last week was u n d e n i a b l y the nadir of t h e s e a s o n (that m e a n s b o t t o m , b u n k h e a d s ! ) fo r t h e f i r s t s . S t a n d i n g i m p e r i o u s l y a t o p d i v i s i o n f o u r (with ten points clear) and favourites for the M i n o r L e a g u e K n o c k - O u t C u p , they m e t F u l h a m 4, a t e a m w h i c h t h e f o u r t h s h a d d e f e a t e d 6-3 o n l y a fortnight a g o . What h a p p e n e d ? I'm still asking that myself. Actually, it was 54 the w r o n g way, out of the c u p , a n d the over confident firsts (never short of my praises all s e a s o n ) , played s o m e of the slackest, least aggressive table tennis ever seen s i n c e the last time I pla y ed! IC 4 vs S A I N S B U R Y 2: 9-0 A n excellent win over the s e c o n d placed division 6a side, putting us into that spot — divisional play-off here we come. IC 4 vs C I T Y UNIV: 7-2 T h e h o m e defeat of last term (due to my b r i l l i a n t t e a m s e l e c t i o n ? ) was finally a v eng ed, but I tried hard to give them a d o u b l e over us. Lars and Max w o n three sets e a c h , I lost two (I h a d a cold). T h e thirds annihilated (I like these powerful expressive words, let's use another o n e . . . ) nay, c o n q u e r e d yet another measly obstacle to their c u p hopes, G a i n s f o r d 4 by 9-0. T r u c k o n ! Earlier, both the s e c o n d s and firsts had also w o n their most recent league matches ( G o d knows how the firsts won). T h e club will s o o n , ie this team, be h o l d i n g e l e c t i o n s for next year's officials, a n c f don't forget that we have E T T A professional c o a c h i n g every M o n d a y between 7:00pm and 9:00pm in the table tennis r o o m . A p p r o x i m a t e cost fifty p e n c e . Finally this week, a mention of the U L U table tennis team. I don't normally mention them, in fact never, because for at l e a s t t h e last t w o y e a r s t h e y ' v e k i d n a p p e d our best players — hence^we struggle a l o n g in divs four, five and six; but at least with two thirds IC players, their first team is s e c o n d in the C e n t r a l L e a g u e — division one; pretty smart, huh? If y o u m i s s e d S a l a m ' s l e c t u r e o n to b e M o n d a y , y o u r e a l l y deserve reading this article. U n t i l I get the N o b e l P r i z e for Literature, farewell!

NUTRITION S U R V E Y

L E T T E R T O T H E TIMES

IC students were asked to take part in a s u r v e y T u e s d a y l u n c h t i m e . Students from the Department of Nutrition at Q u e e n Elizabeth College d i s t r i b u t e d q u e s t i o n n a i r e s in the library a n d in the Southside Refectory, as part of a project they are doing.

O n Wednesday, the same day as the Flowers report hit the newspapers, another I C notable made the news. Professor Raphael head of Associated Studies had a letter in The Times concerning trade unions and the law.

T h e questions they asked pertained mostly to the dietary habits of students in College; such as where students eat and the reasons for choosing those places. T h e surveyors do not intend using the results for anything other than the projects. ICR
