the C o c a - C o l a trick does not work. However, dipping one's union card into E S B has the effect of partially melting the plastic c o v e r i n g thus sealing any small circular holes which it may bear.

GREAT
IMPERIAL
I a m writing with reference to the Arsey Ess propaganda that appeared in F E L I X last week entitled " T h e Great Imperial Rag R a c e " . I think it is desirable to warn the perpetrators of this diabolical injustice' that though they are undeniably bionic, nay superhuman, they are n o t Guildsmen. Those Guildsmen who were deemed fit for the task and known as the Immortal Few (of " N e v e r before have so many been sold by so few" a n d " L a s t Rag M a g in Paris" fame) were none less than those jolly bands of Chemical Engineers and the infamous BE1. With all due modesty (ie none), I shall attempt to chronicle some of the feats of these Guildsmen which far outshine the miserable achievements of those specimens of h u m a n i t y k n o w n as T H E M T H A T W H I M S (anag) a n d H U G V E S T IN C H E S T (anag). T o begin with we have J o n "Livingston I pressume" Stanley who sold approximately two hundred a n d thirty mags and also did s o m e w o r k the s a m e w e e k e n d .

Further evidence of this dedication to duty and sense of fair play is born witness by the fact that T o n y persisted in selling Rag Mags rather than his body whilst at a Barts Hospital Nurses Disco! Last but not least we have the saga of the " n a m e l e s s G u i l d s m a n " w h o shall r e m a i n n a m e l e s s . T r a v e l l i n g u n d e r the pseudonym of Deviant (I do it my way) this hero of modern times travelled over eight hundred miles that weekend with ÂŁ7 in his pocket and the public's sympathy for his t r a n s p o r t .

After indulging in deep fried eggs and chips he reached Fortran services from whence a capitalist whisked our unfortunate lad to Edinburgh. O u r hero listened to the tales of R o l l s ' R o y c e s a n d twenty-nine nightclubs and nine firms which the man owned whilst resisting the vice of envy. After hitting a brick at 70mph o n the A74 which wrecked a wheel, Deviant arrived in Edinburgh at 12:30am. H e was told "the Forth Road Bridge is that way" and started walking. Five hours later having walked fifteen miles and been molested twice by smokey bears, he arived at the bridge.
C o l d , tired and hungry, he got a lift with an unintelligible Scot who deposited him o n a roundabout which was nowhere except vertically above the M90. A n hour passed a n d Deviant was taken by a tarmac van to nowhere else from where he got a bus to Perth. H e obtained proof of purchase and attempted to hitch to E d i n b u r g h , but S c o t t i s h generosity prevailed and he had to catch the train. F r o m Edinburgh Deviant was taken, as if by magic to Leeds, sharing the back seat with two Yorkshire lasses. H e was r e s t e d a n d watered at a T e t l e y s p u b before being put o n a bus to Leeds city centre. Deviant paid his fare, sat down a n d fell a s l e e p . H e w o k e up an equal d i s t a n c e the other side of L e e d s a n d decided to try again. Eventually he found refuge and went to sleep. T h e next day he sold Rag mags for four hours then got a lift to Watford G a p .

JEWS
IN
THE
USSR
T H E CURRENT SITUATION The situation of Soviet Jewry during 1979 markedly deteriorated in several areas. This was reflected in the figures for emigration which reveal that more Jews applied for exit visas than in any previous year, whilst in consequence, there was an increase in the number of emigrants — approximately 55,000 Jews left the U S S R in 1979 — there was a proportionately large increase in the number of refusals. In Leningrad, for example, there are between 400-500 refusenik families at present, as opposed to 150 this time last year. In Moscow the number is far higher. The Soviet authorities are making it more difficult to receive an exit visa by steadily increasing restrictions of one sort or another. The latest 'reason' for refusing to grant permission to emigrate is that the applicant has no close relatives in Israel. The difficulties facing applicants are particularly acute in the Ukraine which has long been the most virulently anrisemitic area of the Soviet Union. It is reported from there that new excuses are being invented regularly in order to 'justify' the refusal of an exit visa. The authorities now insist, for example on the application being made by an entire family — parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins — and that the absence of any of these will be fatal to the application. At the same time it is reported that many regional offices of OVIR, the emigration agency, have simply closed down for long periods. What is equally disturbing is that there are signs of a new wave of repression directed against refuseniks. In some cases, this takes the form of hurting refuseniks through their children of student age. A number of Jewish students have been expelled from their colleges in recent weeks, and the authorities are believed to be moving to conscript them. Other refuseniks have been dismissed from their jobs — the prelude to a charge of 'parasitism' (not having a job). It has now become widely known that the authorities are determined not to allow any demonstrations by refuseniks and others to 'mar' the occasion of the Olympic Games. In consequence, it is anticipated that all the leading refuseniks will therefore be in prison, under house arrest or sent out of the city in time for the Games.
MAKING ENDS MEET A T EASTER Supplementary Benefit If you are staying on in London and paying rent during the vacation U12 chances are that you can get most of the money that you have to pay in rent back from the D H S S (Department of Health and Social Security) in the form of Supplementary Benefit.
How T o Claim Ring up the nearest DHSS Office and tell them that you want to claim for your rent during the vacation. Ask if you can make an appointment for an interview and ask about the procedure that they want you to follow and addresses of places that you have to visit before going to see them. The usual procedure once you have fixed up an interview is to visit a Job Centre and see whether or not they have a suitable job for you. If they haven't take the form that you wul be given at the Job Centre to the nearest Department of Employment Office and sign on as unemployed. Take the form that they give you along to your DHSS interview. You will also need proof of your resources eg bank statement and saving books. You will then have to sign on every week as unemployed.
Points T o Watch To claim Supplementary Benefit you need to be unemployed and available for work. At the interview they may try and get you to say that the reason you are staying in London is so that you can study. In such a case they may well say that since you are studying you can't be available for work and so can't claim. 6
The impact of the tense international situation will be to worsen still further the situation of Soviet Jewry. To a large extent any improvement in their position and in the number permitted to emigrate has come about as a result of Western pressure combined with the Soviet need for trade and access for Western technology. The opportunities that Western pressure still have to make itself felt will be much less frequent as long as relations between the West and the USSR deteriorate. Ominiously, the emigration figures for January 1980 have already shown a drop as compared to the last months of 1979. The outlook for Soviet Jewry in 1980 is bleak. A harder attitude towards the community is likely to be reflected in more anitsemitism in the (state-controlled) media, the granting of fewer exist visas and in increased repression of the activists in the Jewish emigration and cultural movement. In the centre pages of this issue of FELIX, you will find a petition on behalf of Imperial College Students' Union to be delivered to the Soviet Embassy on Wednesday 19th March by Chris Fox, Union President. We are asking you to add your signature to this petition and send it via the internal mail to Imperial College Jewish Society. (Just fold it as directed — the address is on the back!) Please try to fill the petitions rather than sending individual signatures, though these, too will be welcome. On the opening day of the Moscow Olympic Games (19th July 1980) an advertisement is to appear in The Times carrying the names of students and their supporters in the United Kingdom and Ireland who wish to express their disapproval of the inhumane treatment of Soviet Jewish students. For a contribution of £1, your name will be included below the following statement: "Today, the start of the Olympic Games in Moscow, we the students of the United Kingdom and Ireland, and our supporters, deplore the discrimination, harassment and imprisonment of our Jewish colleagues in the Soviet Union."
CHRIS F O X adds: "For over two years now, ICU has taken a special interest in a Soviet Jew who has been enduring many problems within Russia. At a time when most . of the world will be focusing its eyes on Moscow, it of the Soviet is essential that a true perspective regime is maintained, and I urge you to sign the petitions."
During next Tuesday lunchtime, we will be waiting to receive your signature for both the ICU petition and the Times advertisement in the JCR, .Sherfield Building. If your accommodation doesn't have adequate facilities for doing your own laundry, some offices can be prevailed upon to give you an extra 60p per week so that you can go to the launderette. If you are a householder, ie responsible for such things as paying standing charges on electricity meters or responsible for other household expenses it is worth pointing this out at your interview as you should then get £3.65 per week more than the basic rate. Likewise, if you are a flat-sharer and split these responsibilities you should be able to get an addition of £3.65 divided by the number of sharers. If you claim benefit in your home town for rent on accommodation in London you will only get £2 per week (if you are lucky). However, if you want to go home for part of the vacation you can always ask for a holiday form which excuses you from signing on in London. The chances of getting one are pretty slim. Some people have lost their benefit by asking the DHSS to send the money to their home address rather than to the place for which they are claiming rent. *
Unemployment Benefit This is now harder to claim in most cases because they've gone and changed the rules. To claim now you have to have earned and payed National Insurance contributions on £750 between April 1977 and April 1978 or £875 between April 1978 and April 1979. If you claimed at Christmas for Supplementary Benefit or Unemployment Benefit at Easter. This is because of what is known as the 'thirteen week rule' which states that if there is less than thirteen weeks between

IC S Y M P H O N Y O R C H E S T R A CONCERT Conductor: Richard Dickens Leader: David Bogle Soloist: Colin Bradbury It's not often that IC's Music Society presents a soloist as distinguished as Colin Bradbury, the principal clarinettist of the BBC S y m p h o n y O r c h e s t r a . M a n y times your reviewer has heard Mr Bradbury as soloist with that orchestra, although at several times the cost of this concert. It is a pity that so few IC students turned up to hear this very enjoyable performance, albeit in the inadequate acoustics of the Great Hall, in fact no more than to a typical Ents concert. The evening began with a performance of Sibelius' suite "Karelia", unfortunately, not too well. The string writing in particular of the first movement is rather tricky, not to say athletic, and the players tackled the second movement more happily. As one of Sibelius' professors is supposed to have said to a collegue: "If you'd spent half your life up to your neck in snow, you'd write stuff like that too." - Once the initial suggestions of television current affairs programmes are over, the Karelia suite, and especially the second movement, actually suggests the snow covered landscapes of northern Scandinavia. By the third movement, which is the liveliest, the

orchestra had 'warmed up', and the brass section made the most of their moments of glory. Probably the most interesting part of the programme was the concerto, written at the turn of the century by Stanford, who later became professor of composition at the place between Mines and Aero Eng. His name is better known as a teacher of a more successful generation of British composers, than for his own music. Neither this early concerto for clarinet nor those for piano are often performed. The ICSO responded to Colin Bradbury's participation by playing their best. The concerto is reminiscent of Brahms, in manv places, but even a confirmed Wagnerite such as myself couldn't hold that against such a pleasant work. The influence of Brahms is clearest in the slow movement, where the strings recede to the background, behind concertante woodwind. The only concerto of its generation to which I could turn for a comparison was that of Nielsen, indeed I recall a performance of this concerto by the same soloist several years ago. The solo clarinet part in Stanford's concerto is much less energetic, without cadenzas as such, but becomes quite lively in the final movement. The composer was born in Dublin, and his music is much influenced by Irish folk music (eg, his five "Irish Rhapsodies"); so this finale does for the jig what Richard Strauss and Liszt did for the
waltz, or Malcolm Arnold for the Scots reel. The listener could almost imagine a Ceilidh with the clarinet substituted for fiddle, becoming wilder and wilder as the night went by. After the interval, revitalised by coffee, we returned to hear the " G r e a t C - M a j o r " symphony by Schubert. The programme got his dates wrong twice; Schubert in fact died in 1828 at the early age of thirty-one, and it was a tragedy for music that his life was so brief. In that time he produced not only nine symphonies and other orchestral music, but also about a thousand songs, many of which are still top of the classical pops. Although this symphony tries too hard for the grand manner that Brucker could later achieve so easily, like all of Schubert's music, it succeeds because of its tunes, even if the main theme of the last movement is suspiciously similar to that of another ninth symphony. IC Orchestra put the tunes over beautifully, and also managed the tricky bits. Perhaps the pianissimos could have been a little bit more so, but otherwise Schubert was treated very fairly. In the last movement the pace was kept up right to the end, even though the 'railway • train' accompaniment is quite boring (as well as tiring) for the strings. Next term's concert features the Grieg concerto, and the outdoor 1812 O v e r t u r e from the Wind Ensemble is also next term. Derrick Everett

WATER POLO RAFFLE Tickets from Ken Sports Centre
Last Friday U F C met and decided to underwrite the Caravan concert planned next term. This means that if the concert is cancelled or makes a loss, then the deficit will be borne jointly by the Union and Ents. The concert is planned for the third of May, and will coincide with the Rage Fete. Tickets for the concert, which will cost about two thousand pounds to stage, are expected to cost about three pounds each. Also discussed at the meeting was a claim for three hundred and twenty pounds from the Athletics Clubs Committee. The money is intended as a subsidy for the travelling expenses of the women's hockey team's upcoming trip to Holland. There were no objections to giving the money to the team, since it was readily availalbe.

Congratulations to the new President, Pat Leggett. I worked with Pat, last summer, when he was producing Spanner. Although t h e t w o o t h e r c a n d i d a t e s for G u i l d s President put up a good fight, Pat deserved to win. However, I would like to make a s p e c i a l m e n t i o n of D a v e G a y e r . D a v e managed to win 139 votes which is pretty good considering that he's only in his first year at I C . It is perhaps worth looking at the points r a i s e d by D a v e d u r i n g his election speech for Guilds President. Dave said that Guilds Union needed to have less emphasis o n drinking with a b r o a d e r range of events in F r e s h e r s ' Week. H e said that Guilds events were only attended by the same faithful few a n d that C o l l e g e w o u l d not c o n t i n u e paying out money to Guilds just to see the Union cater for a handful of people. Dave's comments could well be applied to I C U . By still continuing all the activities associated with drinking, but by introducing events that do not require booze, we can shift the emphasis away from drinking. A good example was last Saturday's Deaf Children's Party. IC students found satisfaction in entertaining the children and the kids had fun as well. W e need more events held at Imperial that benefit the community rather than the brewery.

Why not take a break and come as 'your favourite American' to the J C R tonight? It looks like it's going to be a great party. I know I'm all for events that do not rely o n booze, but tonight I could become the first sabbatical to be convicted of failing a breath test while driving a wheelchair! Next Friday, 21st March, there'll be an end of term F E L I X . Don't miss it. I hope to include some special competitions for y o u r en t er t a in m en t o n the way b a c k home.
Cheers! This is the regular paragraph where I say ' C h e e r s ! " to everyone who has helped with F E L I X and also to those who have given me a push around College. I even managed to get to last Saturday's Willis Jackson party with Chris Callow's help. I'm n o t s u r e w h e t h e r B r u c e W i l l i s deserves to be mentioned in this part of the Editorial after he stripped down my wheelchair at the Guilds U G M , but at least he put it back together again! A special thanks to Jeremy Nunns who has been fetching and carrying for me as well as h e l p i n g . w i t h F E L I X . C h e e r s Jeremy! Finally, o n a rather obscure note . . . I h a v e a l r e a d y got t w o n o t c h e s in m y plaster. Will I get another tonight? Colin Palmer FELIX Editor
