A G M INQUORATE! Last Tuesday ICU's Annual General Meeting was held in Mech Eng 220. The meeting will probably be remembered for the large amount of time spent on procedural wrangles. T h e m e e t i n g opened at 1:10pm w i t h about 250 people present. J o n F i r t h took the C h a i r , a n d whilst the m e e t i n g was discussing the minutes of the last meeting, a p r o c e d u r a l m o t i o n was m o v e d to change the ordet of business, to consider a m o t i o n o n Southside H a l l s next. J o n F i r t h refused to accept the p r o c e d u r a l m o t i o n , but his r u l i n g was challenged. J o h n Passmore ( I C U President) took the C h a i r , whilst the challenge to the C h a i r m a n ' s r u l i n g was discussed. T h e challenge was defeated on a vote, so the order of business was left u n c h a n g e d . J o h n Passmore then gave his a n n u a l report. H e was questioned on the increases in residence fees. M r W i l l i a m C o r t a z z i was p a r t i c u l a r l y interested to k n o w w h a t part of the 12% increase was for " C a p i t a l R e p l a c e m e n t " a n d it t r a n s p i r e d that the increase might be 8% if a C o l l e g e deal to b u y a h a l l of residence fell t h r o u g h . A f t e r the President's report was accepted, a p r o c e d u r a l m o t i o n was m o v e d to consider the motions on S C C finances and Southside next. J o n F i r t h refused to accept it, so the m e e t i n g went t h r o u g h the r i g m a r o l e of a challenge to the C h a i r m a n ' s r u l i n g . T h i s was c a r r i e d on a h a n d count. H o w e v e r , M r D u n c a n Suss ( F E L I X E d i t o r , 1977/8) asked that the last vote be retaken on a show of U n i o n c a r d s (at which Mr Suss subsequently successfully voted with his Accesscard-Ed.). T h i s vote was c o u n t e d , a n d the challenge to the C h a i r m a n ' s r u l i n g u p h e l d .
A shock move was revealed last night, just before FELIX hit the presses - D r D M Q Monro, Senior Warden and warden of Weeks, astounded friends and acquaintances by turning up to conduct an opera dressed as a woman! It is suspected that the move is just part of Dr Monro's master plan to increase the number of females in hall. Don had hoped to elope with an unnamed female member of the orchestra, whom he refers to as "my A-registration redhead." In an interview with FELIX, the young lady expressed her relief at the news. "I hope Don will be very happy in his new life," she said.

Dear Slevie Baby A t B e r n a r d S u n l e y we were amused to see the letter from a l l those i m p o r t a n t people in S e l k i r k H a l l ( F E L I X 585). P e r h a p s some of t h e m want I C U posts next year? N o t e the sentence: " W h i c h is w o r t h more: the w e l l b e i n g of s t u d e n t s c a t e r e d for by the special, personalised social e n v i r o n m e n t of these halls, or a lew t h o u s a n d pounds in r e n t ? " We find this Passmorian d i s r e g a r d for the s a n c t i t y of greenbacks very touching, especially a m o n g people t r a i n i n g for n o t - v e r y - s p e c i a l , i m p e r s o n a l , anti-social jobs in i n d u s t r y . T o preserve their innocence, we feel it is o n l y fair to oiler t h e m L u i g i (our warden). W e h a r d l y ever see h i m a n y w a y , a n d w h e n we do we can't u n d e r s t a n d a b l i n d w o r d he says.

A l t e r n a t i v e l y , is the w a r d e n to be expected to do twice the work, w i t h different a c t i v i t i e s in each unit?

(At a recent m e e t i n g they voted u n a n i m o u s l y against the proposal to merge the balls.) The alternative in a large b a l l is a representative c o m m i t tee, a n d we seen in C o l l e g e as a whole the d u b i o u s success of such a n indirect a p p r o a c h . W i t h o u t such an e n v i r o n m e n t , w h i c h we suggest arises Irom a s m a l l c o m m u n i t y w h e r e the w a r d e n ' s close involvement is possible, the q u a l i t y of life in hall will plummet. Southside will contain merely hostel-type rooms.
Dear Sir A t a recent U G M , M a y 2G. the m o t i o n discussing the m e r g i n g ol T i z a r d a n d Selkirk H a l l s was not held o w i n g to the meeting being inquorate. I should like to make a few c o m m e n t s about the way in w h i c h this matter has been dealt With. T o a n o n - m e m b e r of the Student Residence C o m m i t t e e it appears that the whole issue has been discussed w i t h a m i n i m u m of consultation, so as to get the merger fixed without causing trouble. T h i s c a v i l l e r attitude is indefensible, surely those most experienced in H a l l life should be given first say in matters w h i c h affect t h e m most directly. O n T h u r s d a y ' s e d i t i o n of S T O I C , M a r k C l e g g (a m e m b e r of S R C ) c l a i m e d to h a v e c o n s u l t e d members of W i l l i s Jackson House about the proposed changes in H a l l accommodation. W i t h all respect, lie is f a i l i n g to do his job pr o pe r l y if these are the only people he consults. In a discussion f o l l o w i n g the U G M , both R i c h A r c h e r a n d M a r k C l e g g said that the views of students outside H a l l had also to be considered. I fully except this v i e w p o i n t , however, if the social life of a H a l l is to be j e o p o d i s e d in exchange lor an u n c e r t a i n gain in e x t r a p l a c e s , t h e n s u r e l y the present residents have a useful role to play in such a decision.

H o w e v e r , even after the t i m e lapse a n d a n enormous a m o u n t o f reflection, I still c o m e u p w i t h the feeling that m y decision was the correct one. I have always believed that a President o f a U n i o n is there to represent the students ol the U n i o n a n d a l s o e q u a l l y as i m p o r t a n t l y to take responsibility for t h e i r actions. I still h o l d that belief. The reason l o r m y resignation therefore must involve conflict w i t h those beliefs.

Hamsoc LAST SUNDAY HAMSOC competed in the RSGB 144MHz low power contest, the general idea of the contest was to work as many stations as far away as possible. For the contest we managed to borrow a shed on the electrical engineering department roof, so we felt we had a good chance of winning since our station operated close to the upper power limit (from a good location). In the event conditions were very poor and only 170 stations were contacted during the eight hours of the contest, however, we managed to make contacts in eight countries including most of the near Europeans. It'll be a few months before the results are announced but hopefully Imperial College's callsign will be near the top of the list. In all. eight members of the club were involved with a couple of visitors from other colleges helping out.
Rag THE COMMITTEE met on Thursday, May 21. Our charities for next year are: National Deaf Children's Society, National Toy Library and a local charity which is yet to be decided—so if you know any worthy local cause, let us know. Thanks to everyone who helped at and attended the Rag Fete, it was a great success with over £600 raised. Next year's committee are Bill Durodie (Chairman), Matt Smith (Treasurer), Ronan McDonald (token transvestite/secretary), Patrick Coll (Rag Mag Editor) and Caroline Godin (Publicity Officer). We've already started arranging cunning stunts for next year, please support them and have a bit of a giggle at the same time.
Labour Club THE 500 men and women who set off from Liverpool on May 1. to march to London as a protest against unemployment will arrive this weekend. Their arrival will be marked by a mass march and rally starting at 1:00pm (assemble 12:00 noon) on Sunday from Speakers Comer in Hyde Park. (This march will go ahead even if the Home Secretary bans it)

A W O R D of thanks to those who supported the Appeal. The original target has been well and truly exceeded to such an extent that we can now look at a more sophisticated system to allow Phil to produce engineering design drawings. Phil, being totally paralysed from the neck down, can only use a mouth stick. At the present moment we are looking into the possibility of purchasing a terminal graphics V D U and a D M P - 7 Intelligent plotter to interface with his mini-computer (on extended loan from Prof Baker's unit at Cranfield Institute of Technology). The total set-up could cost in the order of £2,000. The final outcome of the evaluation by Cranfield, the manufacturers and Phil will be publicised later.
N A T I O N A L C N D are o r g a n i s i n g a train to Glasgow for the demonstration on Saturday, June 6, so if you're bored with exams, come and have a look round the submarine bases on the Clyde. The train costs £15 and leaves on Friday evening, returning on Sunday afternoon; tickets from Ian Heavens, Atmospheric Physics G r o u p , Huxley Building. Despite a three month ban on marches, Strathclyde police are allowing the demonstration to go ahead, which is jolly kind of them as we were going to march anyway. Nearer to home, this Sunday sees the arrival of the Liverpool and Bradford marches against unemployment, with a rally at midday at Hyde Park Corner followed by a march to Trafalgar Square and speeches. C N D supports increased employment in socially responsible ways as an alternative to labour-intensive arms industries, so join us and welcome the Liverpool unemployed on Sunday (meet 11:45am outside the Huxley Building, Queensgate).

PG Tips W E L L , another year seems to have gone by and its time to think about elections again. Papers are up in the Union for nominations for the President, Treasurer and Secretary of the Post Graduate G r o u p . These are responsible positions since the P G G r o u p is a subtle but effective voice for P G s and after all it channels a certain amount of money from 1CU to you. If you think that you might be interested in standing for any of these posts then feel free to contact any of us for a chat. The papers will be taken down on Friday, June 12 and there will be an A G M open to all P G s on Wednesday, June 17 at 1:15pm to hear the results for the first three posts and to elect the social secretary and welfare officer. Enough of this official stuff. There will be a Ploughman's L u n c h preceding the A G M . Tickets at £1.00 will be available from the Union Office. This promises to be a well attended event. So we h o p e that y o u will c o m e a n d enjoy the penultimate (sob) P G G r o u p event of this year. David Wood

Year of the Disabled-Just 1981 has been designated the International Year of the Disabled. But unless action is taken now it will also see the most vicious attack on the rights of the disabled in Britain for generations. The attack comes from a committee chaired by influenctial Labour M P , Ms Renee Short. The Short Report (the second report of the House of C o m m o n s S o c i a l S e r v i c e s C o m m i t t e e on Perinatal and Neonatal Mortality) challenges the basic human rights of the handicapped. Guinea Pigs Firstly the report wants research to be carried out o n u n w a n t e d h a n d i c a p p e d i n f a n t s " o f no particular benefit to them and which may carry some risk of harm". This change in the law would make these babies as expendable as laboratory animals. Price of Life The report goes on to describe the savings that can be made from avoiding the care of the handicapped altogether. The Short Report puts pressure on Area Health Authorities to screen all pregnant women to detect handicapped babies in time to abort them. The report states: "In a high risk area such as South Wales the annual savings from avoiding the care of severely handicapped survivors exceeds the annual cost (of screening) in the second year and every year thereafter". The Short Report shares the view of the Office of Health Economics whose booklet "Mental H a n d i c a p — ways f o r w a r d " r e c o m m e n d e d screening as the cheapest way of dealing with the p r o b l e m of d i s a b l e m e n t . By d i s p o s i n g of a h a n d i c a p p e d p e r s o n ' s life in this way it is estimated a saving of over £225,000 can be made. Dangers The Report has glossed over the dangers of mass screening. The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists remains opposed to mass screening because of the high risks of mother and baby. T h e p r o c e d u r e u s e d , a m n i o c e n t e s i s , involves inserting a needle into the pregnant

woman's womb and withdrawing some of the amniotic fluid. In one study one in twenty-five w o m e n who h a d u n d e r g o n e a m n i o c e n t e s i s suffered serious complications. A letter in the Lancet told of a thirty-five year-old woman who_ underwent the procedure in the sixteenth week of p r e g n a n c y . T w e l v e w e e k s later, the m o t h e r delivered a premature baby. The baby was so m a l f o r m e d that he d i e d four minutes later. Amniocentesis had revealed a perfectly normal child but it had caused amputation of his limbs and severe injuries to his head and pelvis. Imagine how the mother must have felt. Error Another problem is that the test is not very accurate. Twins can be mistaken for spina bifida and aborted in error. Similarly, it is not possible to assess the degree of handicap. A n article in the New Scientist reported that "the human cost of preventing some 555 spina bifida births per year (by prenatal diagnosis and abortion) in England and Wales would be 120 dead or damaged normal infants." Liquidation What the Short Report's recommendation will do if implemented will be to divide people in to two groups, one with the right to live and the other expendable. If that seems familiar, remember under Nazi Germany the handicapped "useless bread eaters", were the first to be 'liquidated'. Alternative There is an alternative. It is well established that the incidence of mentally handicapped births is linked to s o c i o - e c o n o m i c and e n v i r o n m e n t a l factors. Currently no research is being done to establish why this is so. We want to make people at IC aware of Short's recommendations so that they can make a positive contribution to the Year of the D i s a b l e d b y s t a n d i n g u p for t h e fundamental rights shared by us all, handicapped or fit, rich or poor, loved or unloved.

The Phoenix
Choir Concert
S I N C E L A S T Y E A R ' S edition of The Phoenix was deservedly well circulated, a fair number of y o u will already k n o w a little about the magazine. F o r the rest of y o u , however, a few words of introduction will be in order. The Phoenix was founded in 1886 by H G W e l l s , who at the time was a student at Imperial College. Since that time the magazine has taken many forms, and the views and aims of its editors have varied greatly. M r Wells would certainly have approved of the philosophy of the magazine over the past few years. T h e aim has been to present original w o r k b y members of the College in the field of art rather than science; drawings, poems, stories and articles of general interest, as well as more obscure art forms, have all been included. This year's offering, edited by Sean G i b l i n , achieves this end admirably.
However h i g h the reputation of a student c h o i r , one never quite expects t h e m to achieve their c u s t o m a r y standard d u r i n g the D a m o c l e a n s u m m e r t e r m ; this concert was an outstanding exception. For although i m p e n d i n g e x a m s had slightly r e d u c e d the size of the c h o i r , they had obviously been t h o r o u g h l y r e h e a r s e d , a n d there was certainly no r e d u c t i o n in quality. T h e first work performed was H a n d e l ' s Dixit Dominus, a spectacularly lively exultation of praise (is romp too irreverent a word?) with plenty of fast movements d e m a n d i n g the clear d i c t i o n a n d rhythmic s i n g i n g for w h i c h IC C h o i r is r e n o w n e d . Sadly, the o p e n i n g was rather strained, and the initial 'Dixit, dixit D o m i n u s D o m i n o meo' l a c k e d the p u n c h y a t t a c k it n e e d e d ; b u t t h e c h o i r q u i c k l y w a r m e d up a n d were well on top of the later movements, even at the literally breathtaking s p e e d s Eric B r o w n took t h e m at.
T h e magazine inevitably invites c o m p a r i s o n with last year's edition, but s u c h comparisons would be rather unfair. A l t h o u g h the magazine has the same format (A4 ;size, glossy cover, well printed on art paper, etc) the a p p r o a c h to the selection of material is somewhat different. It is noticeable, for example, that this year's Phoenix is a lot stronger o n photographs and poetry. T h e poems include some real gems (Patrick C o i l ' s "Shall I compare thee to a pint of G u i n n e s s ? " for e x a m p l e ) a n d a lot o f thought a n d care has gone into their presentation and layout. It's nice to see an original H G Wells p o e m reprinted from an early edition of The Phoenix; it's well w o r t h buying the magazine for that p o e m alone. It's a pity, though, that M r Giblin did not see fit to reprint the original f o o t n o t e s to the poem—surely these were just as funny as the p o e m itself? T h e magazine also showcases w o r k by no fewer than four photographers, all of w h o m have turned in some very nice work. It is the photos in particular that justify the high quality printing. Unfortunately, while the magazine scores over last year's in photos and poems it loses on p r o s e . D a v e B r i t t o n ' s " T e s t i m o n y of a Traveller" is the only piece which stands out in this category, the rest being rather uninteresting. H o w e v e r , there are a number of unusual items which more than compensate for this fault. Ian W i e c z o e k ' s four page strip is w o r thy of mention as is the page of sheet music by Barney M c C a b e " B r o n t o s a u r a u s B l u e s " . T h e excellent use of artwork and the written w o r d to complement one another, which is apparent throughout the magazine, is best typifisd by the incorporation of a S c a r a m o u c h e chess puzzle into a drawing by Margaret Ramsey. In summary, this year's Phoenix is w o r t h 50p of anybody's money. A s with all s u c h productions, risks have been t a k e n , and not everybody will like all the material. H o w e v e r , this year most of the risks seem to have paid off. B u y one and find out for yourself.

Cash also has to be paid by clubs and societies using the Union postal facility.
Applications are invited for the post of Subwarden of Falmouth/Keogh Hall Rent free accommodation in the form of a small self-contained flat is provided. The essential duties of the post are to assist the Warden in the day-to-day running of the Hall. In addition, one or more Assistant Subwardenships may be available. These posts carry with them rent-free accommodation in the form of a study bedroom in return for duties associated with those of the Subwarden. The posts require individuals who can display conscientious application, initiative, personality and responsible outlook. The successful applicants for any of the above posts would normally be postgraduates, but applications from others will be considered on their merits. Applications, including a concise but informative curriculum vitae, should be made to the Warden, Dr P W Jowitt, Department of Civil Engineering. The closing date is Wednesday, June 10, 1981. A single application will suffice for both categories of appointment.
After the interval (I thought the purpose of coffee tokens was to shorten queues) came M e n d e l s s o h n ' s S e c o n d S y m p h o n y , a great surprise to anyone who, like me, always assumed M e n d e l s s o h n s t a r t e d his s y m p h o n i c output at N o . 3.

I cannot, however, bring myself to congratulate J o h n P a s s m o r e or R a c h e l Snee on theirs. O n l y last week M s S n e e was expressing her desire to turn d o w n a U G A if offered one (these days, a practice with more respect and honour a t t a c h e d t o it t h a n b e i n g t h o u g h t fit to receive one in the first place!) W h a t a noble thought! That she would actually think of herself as undeserving of a U G A . N o s u c h luck!

H o w e v e r , Snee (two-faced as ever) w o u l d now lead us to believe that she has renewed her faith in M r Passmore's abilities. R a c h e l Snee has only two things going for h e r — t h e fact that she voted against J o h n P a s s m o r e ' s U G A , a n d the size of her breasts. W h a t of Passmore's U G A ?

In n o u n c e r t a i n t e r m s — bollocks! Speaking as a serious observer of the U n i o n , J o h n Passmore arrives at the office a r o u n d 10:00am, just in time for coffee. T h e n he puts his feet on his desk and waits for Ruth Hildebrand to trot up to the office. A t this point they pet for the rest of the morning. T h e n they have lunch together. T h e n they have sherry from the U n i o n Office's vast supplies of sherry (all bought out of your U n i o n subscriptions folks!). T h e n they pet more. J o h n then signs a few forms, gets pissed in the Queen's and then goes to Residence C o m m i t t e e where he is trampled all over due to his brain being fuddled by alcohol.

Solutions, comments, criticisms to me c/o FELIX Office. There is a prize of £5 (donated by Mend a Bike) for the first correct solution randomly selected at 1:00pm on Wednesday. I wonder how many of you remember Prong and Quirk, two of the lecherous mathematicians from Primelia who appeared in this column last year? W e l l , following the m y s t e r i o u s a n d s u d d e n retirement of several wardens recently, each of them has been put in charge of two mixed halls of residence. Primelia has four of these, all different sizes; the largest are Lizard and Foulmouth, and the smallest Keyhole and Selclique. Prong has been put in charge of Lizard and Selclique and as soon as he heard this he dropped in on the Senior Warden to find the percentage of women in each of the four halls. Later he met Quirk in the Queen's Legs. ' Y o u realise' he boasted 'that of the two larger halls, mine has a higher proportion of women then yours.' 'What about the smaller halls?' asked Quirk. 1 win again. Selclique has a higher proportion of women than Keyhole.' 'It doesn't really worry me,' replied Quirk. 'Next year your two halls will be amalgamated, as w i l l m i n e , a n d a l t h o u g h t h e r e is to be no redistribution of women at all, my combined hall will have a greater proportion of women than yours.' N o w y o u may r e m e m b e r that Q u i r k is a statistician, and therefore is not totally truthful; and Prong is extremely doubtful about his last assertion. Is it possible that Quirk is telling the truth? O r can Prong be sure he is lying?
Many thanks to Michael Arthur for providing the inside information on which this puzzle is based.
If this is the " b e h i n d the s c e n e s " w o r k , is it any wonder that " o n l y the b a d things get r e p o r t e d . " J o h n Passmore has d o n e nothing t h i s y e a r w h i c h c o u l d be d e s c r i b e d as constructive for the U n i o n . It is a m o c k e r y of the awards system a n d a disgrace to the small b a n d of people with U G A s w h o m M r P a s s m o r e will be joining. Likewise Rae Snee, who certainly c o u l d not be described as lazy, but simply misguided by her o w n personal v e n o m for the average student. I urge P a s s m o r e a n d S n e e to c o n s i d e r carefully just what a U G A means. What about social colours? C o n s i d e r i n g the bitterness, personal anxiety and bitchy backbiting these " a w a r d s " cause, I am tempted to say scrap ' e m . B u t so many people seem to appreciate "being a c k n o w ledged for the part they p l a y e d . " S o touching! If you've just been aw ar ded t h e m , what have y o u got? Basically, an ugly black, yellow and white tie w h i c h if y o u dare to wear y o u get labeled a poser, p s e u d , or hack. (I've only ever seen three being w o r n a n d the wearers w o u l d fit that description admirably.) T h e only way to w i n in the social colours street credibility points game is to adopt a "couldn't care less" attitude. If you've just been awarded social colours, just remember that there's always s o m e o n e who's done more who hasn't got t h e m a n d s o m e o n e w h o has done less w h o has. W h e r e does that leave y o u ? While I'm trying h a r d not to cast aspersions o n individuals who get colours, I d i d notice one thing. N o fewer t h a n nine people received colours for w o r k o n the I N C O S T Conference at Easter. While not wishing to criticise any of those •nvolved in this worthwhile venture I w o u l d say that if they all did one tenth (counting L i z Lindsay) of the w o r k involved, none of t h e m should have received colours. I feel colours committee a n d L i z L i n d s a y (as chief organiser) should have been m o r e selective. E n d of o u t b u r s t . A s s u m e n o r m a l student boring, ineffectual lifestyles
