Loans to replace grants C o n c e r n is being caused by the investigation of the C o m m o n s Select Committee on Education into the possibility of introducing a system of loans to students to replace the present grant system.

London Student T h e future of the newspaper L o n d o n Student is under threat as a result of financial pressures on its publishers, the University of L o n d o n U n i o n . E a c h c o p y of the paper costs about 7.5p to produce. Advertising r e v e n u e is not large e n o u g h to cover staff, printing and running costs. Unless College unions enter a subscription scheme currently being launched for next year, it is unlikely that U L U will be able to continue to finance the deficit and the paper will fold. T h e scheme asks colleges to pay 2.5 p e r c o p y a n d d i s t r i b u t e the p a p e r fr e e to m e m b e r s . 2 , 0 0 0 copies have already been ordered, and several college unions have also given verbal commitments to join- the scheme. However, c o m -
pleted o r d e r forms are n e e d e d before the end of this term if the paper's future is to be secured. L o n d o n S t u d e n t is t h e o n l y London-wide paper written and run by s t u d e n t s . T w e n t y t h o u s a n d copies are distributed each week in term time to colleges, polytechnics and further and higher education colleges, many of which are isolated on the fringes of greater L o n d o n . D e b o r a h Perkin, V i c e President ( S e r v i c e s ) at U L U , s a i d i n a document sent to college unions that if L o n d o n Student ceased to exist it would be " a sad day for L o n d o n students, and a tragedy for L o n d o n student unions". 3

1. Theirs to reason why
6. Truth
Three third year students, applying for a job, seem equal in all pertinent attributes, so the prospective employer, also an intelligent man sets a simple problem for them. The job, he says, will go to the first applicant to solve it. A mark is placed on each man's forehead. The three are told that each has either a black mark or a white mark and each is to raise his hand if he sees a black mark on the forehead of either of the other two. The first one to tell what colour he has and how he arrived at his answer will get the job. Each man raises his hand, and after a few seconds one man comes up with the answer. What colour is his mark, and how did he figure it out?
A FELIX newspaper reporter comes into Beit Quad and does not know which way to go to reach a fire on the roof of Botany. There are two men in the Quad, one of whom always lies while the other always tells the truth. The reporter does not know which is which. He may ask one of the men only one question to find his way. What is his question and which man does he ask?
2. Barnight A student organising an inter-CCU barnight manages to obtain seven barrels full of beer, seven barrels half full of beer, and seven empty barrels. Not wishing to offend any C C U he decides that Mines, R C S and Guilds shall be given the same number of full, half-full and empty barrels. Can his wish be carried out? If so, how?
3. Ages A nosey male student asks a landlady how many girls live in her house and what their ages are. The woman tells him that her three daughters live in the house, that the product of their ages is thirty-six, and that the sum of their ages is the number of the house next door. The student goes next door and looks at the number of the house. When he returns he tells the woman that the information that she gave him is not sufficient, whereupon the woman tells him, " M y eldest daughter is sleeping upstairs." The student thanks her and promptly figures out the daughter's ages. What are they and how does he know?
4. Bino Meal Find the product of the following: (x - aXx - bMx - c) .... (x - z)
7. Slowly does it A n aged and, it appears, somewhat eccentric I C U President wants to pass his most treasured possesion, a Norton motorbike, on to one of his two friends (both eccentric motorbike owners). He decrees that a bike race shall be held and that the friend who owns the slower bike shall have the Norton. The friends, each fearing that the other will cheat by having his bike go less fast than it is capable of, ask a wise professor's advice. With only two words the wise Prof insures that the race will be fair. What does he say?
8. Letter maths Supply a digit for each letter so that the equation is correct. A given letter always represents the same digit: A B C D E x4 E D C B A
9. Camels A middle Eastern potentate died, leaving 17 camels. His will specified that they be divided among his three sons as follows: 1/2 to the oldest son 1/3 to the second son 1/9 to the youngest son The three sons were puzzling over how this could be done when a wise man happened to ride by on a camel. How did the wise man solve their problem?
5. Labels
10. Hardware
Three boxes are labelled "Rag sweatshirts", "Horrids T-shirts" and "Rag sweatshirts and Horrids T-shirts." Each label is incorrect. Y o u may select only one garment from only one box. (no feeling around or peeking permitted.) How can you label each box correctly?
A man goes into a hardware store to buy something for his house. He asks the assistant the price, and she replies, "The price of one is 24p, the price of thirty is 48p, and the price of a hundred and forty-four is 72p." What does the man want to buy?
M U H A M M A D IN T H E B I B L E ? A s Christians we feel that we must make a public reply to the pamphlet entitled " M u h a m m a d In T h e B i b l e " that has been circulated in I C over the past few months. While not wanting to enter into a t e c h n i c a l textual a n d Historical d e b a t e j u s t f o r the s a k e of it, n o n e t h e l e s s , it is v e r y important to examine the question of whether the N e w Testament text is reliable. This article briefly does this a n d also examines the inconcsistencies that appear to exist in the author's method of argument. B y way of reminder the message presented by the author of the pamphlet is that the "Spirit of t r u t h " (or " C o m f o r t e r " ) which Jesus talks about in J o h n chapters 14 a n d 16 does not refer to the unseen Holy Spirit of G o d but the man Muhammad.
In m a k i n g o u r r e p l y m a y we b e g i n by considering two statements made by the author. The first refers to the author of John's Gospel (the fourth book i n the N e w T e s t a m e n t ) as " J o h n — a n u n k n o w n w r i t e r i n the second century of the Christian e r a " . T h e second states that "some hasty editor was not satisfied with the expression " S p i r i t of t r u t h " , or d i d not understand it, and assumed that this must be the same as the Holy Spirit . . . Such words are f o u n d n o w h e r e else a n d a r e o b v i o u s l y a n a d d i t i o n to the t e x t . " T h e s e a n d o t h e r h y p o t h e t i c a l a r g u m e n t s (we use the t e r m hypothetical in the strict sense of the word) are used to question the accuracy of the record of Jesus' words, from which point the author goes on to suggest what Jesus really said. So he appears to rely o n the reader o f his a r t i c l e unquestioningly accepting the commonly held, but incorrect, view that the New Testament documents have been proved unreliable. M a n y believe that they were w r i t t e n a c o u p l e of centuries after the time of Christ and have been translated and copied out so many times since then that vast numbers of words and sentences must have altered, been missed out or even added. But when facts are faced such views do not stand up. Let's for example examine the Gospel of J o h n which is certainly not the earliest piece of Christian writing in the New Testament (see reference 1). T h e earliest fragment of the Gospel now in existence is dated at about AD125 and it is generally accepted that the Gospel itself was written between A D 7 0 — 9 0 ie 40—60 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. There is also strong textual and traditional evidence that the author was J o h n the disciple of Jesus, not an unknown writer and certainly not a second century writer. T h e other three Gospels are also eyewitness accounts of the life of Christ. As one would e x p e c t the q u a n t i t y o f N e w T e s t a m e n t m a n u s c r i p t s increases as we move into the second, third and fourth centuries A D . By this time we have literally hundreds of copies in a d o z e n l a n g u a g e s : the 5th c e n t u r y codex A l e x a n d r i n u s a n d the 4 t h c e n t u r y c o d e x Siniaticus (complete New Testament texts) both reside in L o n d o n in the British Museum with many other a n d earlier N e w Testament manuscripts.
Also in existence is a complete set of the Four Gospels each in papyrus book form and dated before AD200. Admittedly, there are variations between manuscripts, about 157 in the four New Testament Gospels. T h e vast majority are very minor and of the kind seen in Matthew chapter 3 verse 11 and Luke chapter 3 verse 16 where John the Baptist is said to have baptised " w i t h water" while some manuscripts read " i n water". What should be recognised is that not a single point of Christian belief hangs on a disputed reading. T h e sort of time scales mentioned above may still seem rather long, but Christian manuscript tradition is in fact much stronger for the New Testament Gospels than for any other ancient book. T h e text of Caesar's book " G a l l i c W a r s " for example is based on a single ninth century manuscript, ie a 900 year gap separates the o r i g i n a l w o r k f r o m the e a r l i e s t c o p y n o w a v a i l a b l e . O n e f i n a l point to m e n t i o n here, before leaving the matter of New Testament reliability, is the way archaeology has shed a great deal of light on the Gospels and the book of the Acts of the Apostles. A g a i n and again a r c h a e o l o g y has v i n d i c a t e d their r e l i a b i l i t y . Let's go back to John's Gospel for an example. In chapter 19 verse 13 we are told that Jesus was tried before Pilate at a place called T h e Pavement (Gabbatha in Hebrew). Nobody knew anything about such a pavement and it looked like J o h n was adding dramatic atmosphere to the simple tale of Christ's trial until French archaeologist Pere Vincent dug it up in the 1930s. It measured fifty yards square and can be seen in the city today. F o r a much deeper study of the r e l i a b i l i t y of the N e w T e s t a m e n t see references 1, 2 and 3.
H a v i n g very briefly outlined the fact that the Gospels are early and reliable (something that even critical scholars now accept in the light of so much evidence) we now turn to examine the author's method of argument a little closer. O n reading the pamphlet carefully it becomes clear that his a r g u m e n t s a r e b a s e d o n a s s u m e d errors in the text for which he admits himself there is no positive textual evidence available ( p a r a g r a p h 4 s e n t e n c e 6). H o w e v e r , for a moment let us assume that the New Testament is unreliable and see what the implications are.
Using a scientific analogy the author is saving that he has got a bad set of data but he can correct it (without having external evidence to give his corrections any degree of authority), and the corrected data fits in with his theory a n d so proves it to be true. B u t the N e w Testament is reliable and the authors textual theory goes very much against the great weight of " e x p e r i m e n t a l " evidence d e r i v e d from scholarly objective Biblical research. Indeed if J o h n chapters 14 and 16 are read in context with both the O l d and New Testaments there can be no mistaking the message that the Holy Spirit of G o d was to and did begin a new type of work among men. In conclusion may we say that God's message to man in the Bible and supremely through the life, death by crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is very clear. T h a t message speaks first o f the e n o r m o u s D I G N I T Y o f m a n ' s creation in the image of G o d (Genesis lv26, P s a l m 8 v 4 , 5). It also speaks o f the t o t a l D E P R A V I T Y of human nature (Romans 3v23) caused by man's rebellion against his Creator a n d the r e a l i t y of this S i n a n d r e s u l t i n g separation from G o d ending in death (Romans 6v23). Finally it speaks of the D E S T I N Y of man which is the fearful prospect of death and God's judgement (Hebrews 9v27, 28). It is at this point that God's message of hope through Jesus Christ comes in: G o d himself in Christ has dealt with man's Sin and made a way for man to return to H i m . A t this point Christians rightly tend to employ certain pictures to explain the work that C h r i s t a c c o m p l i s h e d by d y i n g o n a R o m a n Gallows (eg paying the ransom required that man might be set free). Whether or not you find the pictures helpful the reality is that Christ bore the consequences of our sins (1 Peter 2v24) and to prove his victory over Sin a n d Death he rose from death never to die again (1 Corinthians 15v3, 8). G o d freely offers forgiveness through Christ and new life through the indwelling of his Holy Spirit for those who acknowledge their need (1 J o h n lv8—10). T h e p e r s o n a l c l a i m s of Jesus C h r i s t are enormous and his claims on us as individuals are equally enormous. N o doubt many people in the past and today try to avoid these claims by running away from the facts, but the truth is that about 2000 years ago a Jewish carpenter from a small town in the M i d d l e East made these c l a i m s a n d s u b s t a n t i a t ed t h e m by his victory over the grave.

ACCOMMODATION FOR NEXT YEAR A s the examinations draw to an end, thoughts inevitably turn to next session and the thorny problem of finding accommodation.
In September, possible sources of accommodation will be:
Ideally, it would be nice to get fixed up with something this term so that you don't have to worry about it over the vacation. Unfortunately this is not a very easy thing to achieve as most l a n d l o r d s are not i n t e r e s t e d in giving firm promises for the future which leaves the rather unattractive alternative of finding a place now and paying for U over the summer.
U n i v e r s i t y of L o n d o n A c c o m m o d a t i o n Centre (8 Princes Gardens)
If you do want to book something now for next term without having to pay for it over the summer, the best place to inquire is the U L A c c o m m o d a t i o n Office at 8 Princes G a r d e n s . T h e W e l f a r e C e n t r e h a s a few b e d s i t s available which can be booked in advance and we are hoping to get some more in the near future. Agencies, newspapers and noticebbards are not m u c h use for this purpose as they tend to deal with current vacancies rather than future ones. If you don't manage to find anything this t e r m , t h e n it is p r o b a b l y best to forget all about it until September when it is financially viable to take o n a current vacancy even if you don't actually need it until the beginning of term. T h e a c c o m m o d a t i o n m a r k e t is h i g h l y competitve at that time of the year since there is an enormous influx of students. T h i s means that the earlier you start looking in September, the better. Most people would probably prefer to live in a flat than in a bedsit and one of the snags that flat hunters tend to come across in September is that l a n d l o r d s are. r e l u c t a n t to let a flat unless they can interview all the prospective sharers before granting a tenancy. Since it is quite frequent for one or more members, of a group looking for a flat, to be away on holiday or o n a field trip at this time of year, difficulty can arise and so it is a point worth bearing in mind when you are planning your strategy for finding a flat. If you are going to find it difficult to come down to L o n d o n early o n in September to start l o o k i n g , y o u c a n always r i n g the W e l f a r e Centre for addresses and then try and fix an appointment with the landlady for a time when it is convenient to see the place. W h e n you do start looking at places, one of the problems that arises is if you are offered a p l a c e w h i c h d o e s not c o m e up to y o u r expectations and you have to decide whether or not to take it or risk ending up in something worse. If you don't have any experience of living in the private rented sector, it might be an idea to try and look at some places this term, eg those occupied by friends or you could even have a look at places that arc being offered by the various accommodation sources at present. This will give you an idea of the standards and prices to expect — bearing in mind that there is likely to be some increase in prices by the beginning of the next term. If you are thinking of coming to look for accommodation in September, there should be some temporary accommodatin available in the Halls and then in the U n i o n C r a s h P a d . Details of these schemes are not yet available, but soon should be, so keep an eye on F E L I X or check with the U n i o n Office before coming down to look.
D o n ' t B a n k with Apartheid says the A n t i - A p a r t h e i d G r o u p at IC following last week's Barclays advert The
This office is mainly concerned with finding accommodation for freshers during this period and so they won't have much to offer nonfreshers. T h e best time to use them is now when they will have details of places that you can book in advance.
Welfare Centre (3rd floor, Union Building) Flat Agencies These usually charge one to two weeks rent for finding you a place. T h e y also tend to deal with the more expensive accommodation. A list of agencies which have been recommended by various people can be obtained from the Welfare Centre.
Newspapers These do provide a source of accommodation but the evening papers are very widely read and people queue in Fleet Street to get the first edition. A s a result places advertised go very quickly and so, although worth trying, this a p p r o a c h is o f t e n m o r e f r u s t r a t i n g t h a n productive. Local papers — eg, the Kensington and Chelsea Post are read by fewer people, but contain correspondingly fewer accommodation advertisements.
Noticeboards A lot of sweet shops, etc, have noticeboards with accommodation vacancies. T h e y tend to be past history by the time y o u get to look at them but some have dates scribbled on them which you can use to select the most recent
All in all, accommodation hunting ca n be pretty hard work but perserverance is usually rewarded. If you find yourself in a position w h e r e y o u have to take s o m e t h i n g w h i c h doesn't suit you, don't despair. A s long as the arrangement with the landlord doesn't tie you to staying on there for a long time, you can sit it out until the rush dies down and then start looking again. If y o u h a v e a n y w o r r i e s a b o u t f i n d i n g accommodation, you can always c o m e up to the Welfare C e n t r e for a chat about it.
VACATION
MONEY
If y o u c a n ' t get a job d u r i n g the v a c a t i o n (incidentally the Welfare Centre has a list of vacation jobs) it is worth remembering that you can claim supplementary benefit, which starts at £16.35 per week if you are living at home and goes up if you are paying rent. Y o u can also claim unemployment benefit if you have sufficient National Insurance contribuions and the new contribution conditions that have been imposed o n students do not apply during the summer.
LUGGAGE
STORE
F o r t h o s e of y o u w h o a r e going to find it difficult to take all your stuff away with you at the end of the term, there will be a luggage store in the U n i o n Building. F o r further details contact the Welfare Centre.

Barclays A n d South Africa Barclays has traditionally been attacked for its s u p p o r t for S o u t h A f r i c a o n g o v e r n m e n t projects. T h e l a t e s t m a j o r s u c h v e n t u r e is its investment in Sasol the South African State O i l Corporation, in which Barclays National has a £10million holding. T h e South African government has frantically been investing in oil from coal production in order to cushion itself against any future oil e m b a r g o . B a r c l a y s not o n l y a s s i s t e d in providing the financing of this project but also handled the selling of shares in Sasol o n the Johannesburg stock exchange. T h e call for an oil embargo is an essential step in bringing down the apartheid regime. It should also be remembered that fuel is vital for. the South African 'defence' forces continually u s e d to r e p r e s s any o p p o s i t i o n m o v e m e n t against apartheid. Barclays should be exposed for fuelling apartheid. Barclays Bank L t d has a 60% share of its subsidiary Barclays National in South Africa. It is therefore capable of stopping this support for the regime ..in South Africa. T h e other argument against Barclays is that it is the biggest bank in South Africa. Although it claims a progressive image and doubtless could substantiate its claim to abide by the E E C ' s C o d e of C o n d u c t its a c t u a l employment statistics expose clearly the lie that it c a n in a n y way be c h a l l e n g i n g the apartheid system. In South Africa there are employed 2,480 non-white clerical staff as against 13,000 whites. Hardly an example of equality of opportunity in a c o u n t r y with e x a c t l y r e v e r s e d p o p u l a t i o n proportions! Sir Anthony T u k e , C h a i r m a n of Barclays, at their recent A G M justified little being done to challenge apartheid by saying that the bank had to work within the law. That also means that the bank is subject to racist employment laws and one can only doubt whether the bank s e r i o u s l y c o n c e r n s itself with this p r o b l e m when as it readily admits its chief concern is-to protect its investments and profit margins, not to w o r r y a b o u t ' p o l i t i c a l i s s u e s ' . A p a r t h e i d yields big profits by racist exploitation a n d repression of the majority of the population. In such a situation passive acceptance of 'the law' is n o d i f f e r e n t f r o m a c t i v e s u p p o r t f o r apartheid.
Why Pick O n Barclays In Particular? * 1. It is o n e of t h r e e B r i t i s h b a s e d b a n k s involved in the Sasol financing (the others are Standard Chartered and Hill Samuel) and of those is the largest shareholder. 2. B a r c l a y s N a t i o n a l , the S o u t h A f r i c a n subsidiary, is the largest bank in South Africa and therefore operates under racist employment policies and in many ways acts to prop up the apartheid system.
What C a n Y o u
Do?
1. Don't bank with Barclays. 2. Write a letter to the U n i o n E x e c / C o u n c i l calling for no more adverts to be placed by Barclays in U n i o n publications. 3. S u p p o r t IC A n t i - A p a r t h e i d G r o u p . ( C o ordination Kevin C o u r t n e y , Physics 3).

1. Since all three applicants raised their h a n d s , there are two possibilities: t w o black a n d a white o r three black. If therefore, there were a white m a r k o n any forehead, two students w o u l d see o n e black a n d o n e white a n d w o u l d instantly d e d u c e that the third m a r k must b e black. Since this instant solution d i d not o c c u r , e a c h of the three students saw t w o black m a r k s .

A WARNING The c u r r e n t , d i s g r a c e f u l l y i r r e s p o n s i b l e behaviour o f residents i n Southside is likely to lead to a serious brea kdo wn o f relations with M e w s residents. The h u r l i n g o f objects out o f H a l l windows is both d a ng er o us a n d a n n o y i n g , a n d i f these objects a r e bottles then the a c t i o n b e c o m e s potentially h o m i c i d a l . W h e t h e r o r not the c u r r e n t spate o f bottles emerges f r o m Southside, the H a l l s o n l y d r a w suspicion on themselves b y the continued shower of weighted paper darts, c a r r i e r bags filled w i t h water, cans, etc, on the m e w s side o f the H a l l s . I view the allegations o f bottle throwing even more seriously a n d any students o r guests o f student residents can expect no help f r o m m e i f t h ey w e r e to be a s k e d to leave C o l l e g e , a n d indeed, I w o u l d support the College line on this issue. If this practice, a n d that o f abusing persons i n the M e w s , continues, a private detective is going to be h i r e d with the a i m o f a m a s s i n g evidence and prosecuting individuals. It is therefore very important that those responsible persons who live i n H a l l s c l a m p do wn on the lunatic fringe and prevent this happening.

! ! ! IMPORTANT ! ! ! As everyone knows, good accommodation is very hard to come by and many I C students are doomed
to spend
a period of misery
in expensive
squalor.
If you are living in reasonable accommodation at present and are expecting to move out of it for good in the near future, it would be a great pity if the opportunity for an I C student to live there next year was lost. Some students, mainly P C s and those working in L o n d o n over the summer, are looking for accommodation
from the end of this term.
It would be very much appreciated, both by the U n i o n and by students who are and will be facing the problems of finding somewhere to live, if you could help in one or more of the following
ways.
