Nightline Crisis T h e future of West L o n d o n Nightline may be in doubt unless other L o n d o n Colleges are prepared to provide a larger proportion of the funds.

College Win Case Imperial College has been awarded High Court damages of around £ 8 5 0 , 0 0 0 against the firm of architects who built the Electrical Engineering building.

I've also had numerous letters complaining about our story on the Bishop of ca.6 Durham. Like any newspaper, we have limited space for news. This means that you have to select the points that will be of greatest interest to t h e greatest number of readers.

Spencer: Proposterous Twit Dear FELIX, I see that preposterous twit T o n y Spencer is back at his ranting. Whilst I won't comment about the bulk of his egotistical rambling in last week's letters page, I must object to the partisan rubbish in his last few sentences. For a start the Below the Belt co l u mn in FELIX has been running for years longer than the trivial and cliquey Vicious Rumours page in Boredsheet (only accurate material in the title?).

Further seeing as I myself wrote the Below the Belt column last term, it owes as much to my g o o d friend Hissing Sid (and Frank Rowsell for those who remember him) as to anyone else.

I don't want to so u nd pompous with all this but I would just like to say that I know people who will go to great lengths to avoid Mr Spencer ranting at them for hours. Why s o m e o n e of the advanced years and hair of Mr Spencer (I myself have spent years trying to look that aged) should waste his time promoting all that is worst in C C U rivalry I don't know. H o w such a mind bendingly boring person as T o n y can slag FELIX when his idea of literature is this year's Rag M a g is beyond my puny brain. Personally I find mountain cycling in Albania far more appealing than listening to Spencer's drivel.

Hallworth Get Your Act Together Dear Sir Whilst finding Peter Haljworth's letter in January 21 FELIX very informative, there are some points that I would like to query. Firstly, misuse of property and equipment by residents is cited as a, presumably substantial, loss of funds and I would like him to specify what actual type of damage was done.

It was mentioned that on site communication, coordination and supervisory qualities were 'severly affected' due to the absence of the

Friday 14 February

Housekeeper, through illness. If this was such an important problem why was there no temporary replacement found for the Housekeeper, or appropriate transfer of duties to someone in authority?

I c o n c e d e that Mr Haliworth's argument that painting the outside of the Houses was to prevent further crumbling of the fabric may be valid but I should mention that the railings of the H o u s e s were painted also, which is surely one of the most cosmetic repairs to Evelyn Gardens possible, whilst inside, window locks and pigeon-hole locks—surely a priority in view of the appalling state of security, remained unrepaired or absent.

Finally I find Mr Hallworth's comments that 'there is little point in increasing College security when we are surrounded by so many self-appointed Clerks of Works' needlessly destructive and implicitive that his organisation and deputation of responsibility leaves much to be desired.

Surely Mr Hallworth should be getting his act together?

Yours etc Mike Stone

Chemistry Cash Wasted Sir I write to draw your reader s attention to the new garage being erected at the rear of Chemistry 1.

Unbelievably, this structure is destined to house some of the vehicles of Professor Hartley and his wife, who live in the penthouse on top of Biochemistry.

With College spending much time moaning about lack of finance I am astonished that a four figure sum of money can be found to provide a garage to house cars which aren't even used for C o l l e g e business. T o make matters worse, several parking spaces have been lost—parking spaces used by people who are on C o l l e g e business.

A s they are local residents, one wonders why they can't get a street space from the council, and leave the car park for those who drive into C o l l e g e each day.

Pinko Pete Writes

Dear Hugh, I've said this before at the time of the Socialist Society picket of Keith Joseph, but in answer to J o h n Martin's letter (FELIX 728) I must repeat that the defence of our education and welfare isn't a left-wing cause. No student, be she/he Left, Right or Centre, should be so stupid as willingly to consign him/herself to the poverty which Sir Keith has planned for us. Neither should we stand by and allow the destruction of the education system on which our younger sisters and brothers will depend.

That our Union should produce the impressive turnout it did for Gren Manuel's leaflet protest shows, I believe, that most IC students feel the same way. Dave Kingston, hardly a Left-wing activist, attended the protest, as did J Martin Taylor.

Finally, in the light of the decision by K Q C students in their recent referendum to affiliate to the National Union of Students (FELIX 729) , and that by U C L at their U G M not to disaffiliate, may I congratulate those students on their sound judgement, and express the hope that Imperial won't be too long in following their example.

Faced as we are with threats to our education and to our standards of living while at College, the importance of national representation for all students, and of c o ordinated response to the threats has never been greater.

Yours, Pete Hobbis.

(3) T h e R S M U budget was a statement of expenditure, not the final claim to ICU, which has to have income deducted from it. Even so it has risen, but this is due to a rise in interest in R S M U and the new clubs being founded within it.

But did FELIX ever try to ask our side? No! Yet again one sided rumour is printed, and the resultant image not cared about. I personally am beginning to get pissed off with this antiR S M U stance. I Hope next year's Editor will try and ask the other side before printing inflammatory rumours. / remain yours, etc David Pearce

Sexist SF Soc

Dear Hugh, I wish to moan bitterly about the grossly sexist attitude displayed by Dave Clements (I believe), S F S o c Chairman (on permanent loan from South Bermondsey Sewage Reprocessing Unit) ie '...when men were men and women did what they were told' in last week's advert (hardly a feature) for 'Picyornose 4'. It is bad enough having to endure the C o s m i c Ferret's abysmally pretentious stories which weekly masquerade as articles, let alone being subjected to his doctrinally unsound attitudes. I suggest that Temporary Women's Officer Christine Taig should ritually disembowel him in Beit Q u a d next Wednesday lunchtime. It should do wonders for her presidential election campaign...

Yours non sexistly Vlad the Impaler (Name supplied but witheld by request)

ought to be—but it's their first experience of college, so they moderate their views. P h D freshers are fine too—either working quietly, or being of such hyper intelligence that they fit into the 'IC Attitude' easily.

Most MSc's are great guys/women too—but some are real arseholes.

They come from some crappy provincial little university where they were top dogs, and bring their crappy provincial little attitudes to Imperial.

There is a case in point who attends the MSc/3rd Year Al lectures in Computing. What a wally!

He banters the lecturer with pointless quips, interrupts with irrelevant quips and then loudly admonishes any other student murmuring in the background. Yet he seems to have no comprehension of how incredibly irritating he is to everyone else.

I am not criticising his ridiculous dress or the way he wrinkles his nose, like a Pekinese on heat—each to his own. What I object to is his attitude to lectures. At IC we listen reasonably quietly and attentively.

Questions are used to make ideas more comprehensible. They

should not be used to score points to enhance a student's personal standing. It is a pain in the butt that one student can so completely waste eighty people's time for no better reason than to try to make himself look good.

Yours faithfully, 3rd Year Computing Undergraduate (Name supplied but witheld by request)

Thanks

Dear All, May I, on behalf of Pete and myself, say a big thank you to everybody, especially T o m , for the support which the guests at the R C S Annual Dinner gave us on the announcement of our engagement.

Planning For Disaster Incidents at nuclear power plants, like the one in 1979 at Three Mile Island in the United States, are fortunately very rare. However, it is important to consider the potential consequences of such accidents and pre-plan emergency procedures. Debbie Wilkes examines the research being done at IC in this field and the safety measures being taken at home and abroad.

T h i s a s s e s s m e n t of possible consequences can b e e x t r e m e l y c o m p l e x , a s it h a s to t a k e i n t o a c c o u n t all t h e f a c t o r s of t h e r e l e a s e , its d i s p e r s i o n i n t o t h e environment, a n d the resultant c o n t a m i n a t i o n a n d e x p o s u r e of h u m a n b e i n g s . H e r e at I m p e r i a l C o l l e g e , in t h e M e c h a n i c a l Engineering Department, a group under Dr Helen A p s i m o n is l o o k i n g at n u m e r i c a l m o d e l s for t h e d i s p e r s i o n of p o l l u t a n t s in the a t m o s p h e r e ; with the a i m of e s t i m a t i n g risk o n a probabilistic basis and to h e l p in t h e p l a n n i n g of emergency procedures.

P r e - p l a n n i n g of e m e r g e n c y p r o c e d u r e s is of the utmost i m p o r t a n c e , as in t h e e v e n t of a n a c c i d e n t at a n u c l e a r p o w e r p l a n t rapid action might be n e e d e d to p r o t e c t p e o p l e .

T h e f o r m of a n y p r o t e c t i v e measures would depend on m a n y different factors including local geography, s i t u a t i o n of p o p u l a t i o n d e n s i t y relativ e to t h e p l a n t , weather conditions and the m a g n i t u d e of t h e r e l e a s e .

Finally there w o u l d be an inquiry, which would involve an in-depth analysis of t h e c o n s e q u e n c e s o v e r a g r e a t e r d i s t a n c e . If t h e most effective e m e r g e n c y p r o c e d u r e s a r e to b e p r o d u c e d t h e n all of t h e s e factors have to be taken into account.

Baha'i T h e third world war has already begun. Its victims are the populace of the starving third world, murdered by us because we choose to spend our mis-gotten money not on them but on SDI and Trident. A n d no doubt, when we have finished with them, like mad dogs we will turn on ourselves, finally smithereening spaceship earth as completely as the unfortunate 'Challenger'.

Present technology and present attitudes do not allow any softer option.

I would not paint such a gloomy picture if I thought there was any way out.

It would be customary for a person of any religious persuasion such as myself to see as a solution to the world's problems the need to unite in a common cause ('after all, we're all G o d s children aren't we? S o let's forget our differences and

Opsoc O p so c's thirtieth Annual production in College will be 'Princess Ida' by W S Gilbert and A S Sullivan.

Imperial College Operatic Society , to give it its more formal name was formed in 1956 to 'produce light opera in the South Kensington Community'.

Ever since the first show ('Victorian Melodrama'), we have presented an extravaganza, usually by G & S , each February, although in the past we have performed works by Offenbach, Mozart and Bizet. T he society completed the fourteen G & S Opera canon last year with the 'Grand Duke'.

T he society maintains a high standard by the involvement of Music students, as well as consistently having a high quality orchestra made up of old members, music students and IC students.

Each year we put on a tour to Budleigh Salterton, and last year, our 18th visit, we were given a civic reception in the town. This summer, we are to tour with 'The Mikado', and if you are interested in being in the show, please contact any member at 'Ida' after the show.

Princess Who? 'Princess Ida' was written around the same time as lolanthe' at the height of G&S's success, and despite the illness of its composer FELIX

live in peace...'). But while I believe that to be true in a way, at the present time it is not a particularly illuminating or useful observation for there are genuine ideological differences fragmenting society. Communist and Capitalist, Christian and Muslim, Conservative and Labour, 'and everybody hates the Jews' (Tom Lehrer). 'Forgetting our differences' means, for many people, forgetting the faith for which they stand.

But history is full of tales of people dying for their beliefs, and there is no particular reason to believe that the trend will not continue, especially since it is at times of crisis that we are called upon to be more principled, not less.

S o I suggest that we do not waste effort by pleading with people to forget their ideological differences. Rather, we should suggest to them that they postpone the conflict, and meanwhile get at the time it contains some of the best music throughout. It differs from the rest in that it has three acts as oposed to the normal two, and the libretto is written in blank verse; the actual libretto being a reworking of an earlier Gilbert play. T h e show was a satire of Women's lib.being written as such establishments as Girton College were being built, continuing Gilbert's use of controversial subjects.

Sounds boringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;what's it about?

Fortunately the plot is not as complex as you might remember last years 'Grand Duke'...It is set in the days when knights were bold.

Well it's like this, there were two kings, one of whom's daughter was betrothed to the other's son. In the meantime, however, the Princess had gone away and started a 'Woman's University' to which, not surprisingly, men were not permitted. T h e Prince and a couple of his friends decide to dress as women to try to capture the love of the Princess.

Needless to say they get found out and his father turns up and a good old fight takes place. Of course, a lot manages to go on as well, but then you'll just have to come to see thatâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's worth coming to, I can assure you!

Who's doing what?

T he show is conducted by Dick Stockton, who was in the Society for many years, and has now returned to wave his arms. Meanwhile,

along with the business of keeping ourselves alive 'ourselves' including, of course, the people in the third world, or what is left of them. All this is, indeed, in the long-term interest of the continuance of the ideological debate, since this would otherwise be impossible if we were all dead.

In practical terms this means making a mental note to prove the ideological point some time in the future, and for the present, to heal the wounds. How nice it would be to hear conciliatory language between religions and political parties. How nice it would be to see the back of 'Rambo' and 'Rocky 4'.

It's just like in a marriage (I speak from experience).

O n e has to be mature and rise above the level of petty, unending bickering, by making a mental note to resolve the point of principle at a less highly charged moment, and in William White, who played Grand Duke Rudolph last year is Directing. Please come along if you can, it's not as boring as you may think....

Where can I get tickets?

Tickets are available from the Haldane Library, level 2, Sherfield at lunchtimes, O p s o c members and the door (whilst stocks last).

the short term, to kiss and make up.

Bahais believe that while the 'Most Great Peace' (Which I interpret as being the time of the solution of ideological problems) is still a long, long way off, nevertheless the 'Lesser Peace' of political trust and tolerance is imminent, because mankind has now reached the stage of maturity. I do hope that we Bahais are right, because otherwise, quite honestly, it's curtains.

The Imperial College Bahai Society is holding a meeting 'On the theme of Peace' on Wednesday 19th February, 7:00 p.m. in the Common room, level 8, Physics building.

Speakers from the National Peace Council, WIST, and Bahai National Centre will speak respectively on: 1986 International Year of Peace; Role of Women in achieving Peace; The Promise of World Peace

cu Many people in this country have never read one of the four gospels in the Bible since they were children. Many people have never decided who Jesus was. He definitely existed historically, many other sources apart from the Bible testify to this.

Who was he? A brilliant teacher, orator, moralistyes but he claimed to be more than that.

Who was he? G o d .

Anyone who claims to be G o d today would normally find himself in a lunatic asylum pretty quick. Jesus could hardly be described as mad. Was he a deliberate trickster or an evil man? It doesn't fit with the facts. T he way he lived and other people's testimony about his life don't leave us this option.

Jesus said 'If you have seen me, you have seen the father' ( J O H N 14) Why not read John's G o s p e l , look for yourself, find but what Jesus actually claimed and decide for yourself. W h o was He? What did He come to do? C o m e and find out.

FELIX

"In the future everyone will look like a baked bean can for 15 minutes..." y Some caustic wit pointed out to me that today is Valentines Day and it would be a good idea to include some appropriate ideas in this column. So having read Time Out's little piece on their own lonely hearts column I thought something like, 'Scruffy mature journalist seeks kindred wally for mutual cynicism, boredom and tedious conversations about Roy Harper gigs' might fit the bill. Looking at the sort of witicisms which actually make it into print I feel a bit humbled though. In addition I am not really seeking to meet London's Gay population on an intimate basis, which would cut out a large proportion of the small ad reading population. But it must be said that commercialisation does seem to have crept into the way people meet each other to a tremendous degree.

I'm sure there's very little you can't get delivered to the loved one of your dreams by an out of work actor. Maybe this is one of life's necessary evils in a place like London, where social life is so often interpreted as 'strutting your funky whatsit' in a darkened room where the music is so loud that, the person you thought was a liberal minded student into outdoor pursuits is actually a married young conservative into collecting Victorian bondage gear! Personally I think it cheapens the whole affair if you pay (ironic, huh!) some Albanian mountain cyclist to mutter pre-composed words of endearment and thrust a box of 'Black Tray' at the target of your affection. Mind you if it's all for Rag that's another matter. And hey! — why are we only allowed to be romantic one day a year?

I ~ u

AVhen I took over this page someone said something about ideas for things to do in our glorious capital. But once in a while there's nothing wrong with taking liberties — so this week's suggestion is "clear off". 'Very droll' I hear you say, but I'm desperate. Even the less astute of you might have noticed that BR has slashed fares for Railcard holders for February to one-quarter of the normal cost.

This means the reduction on some journeys can almost pay for the card — spend money, save pounds (er?). Last weekend I went to Bristol to see a gentleman called Roy Harper. This will make anyone who knows me cringe at the thought of another plug for some ageing ex-hippy (but he really is dynamite live, makes Billy Bragg look like Noddy goes to social commentary land). The point is that most people can probably think of someone or somewhere they'd like to visit and now is a smart time to go and (in the words of the immortal Pink Fairies) DO IT.

Well so much for pointing out the obvious (as an old colleague on the Tirane Times once said to me while relating the story of how he had pointed out to the great Eugene Zhog, the 1962 Albanian cycling champion, that it would be impossible to leap to freedom in the west, on his pushbike from the top of Mount Hoxha — the old fool was blown out of the air by half a dozen machine guns before he plunged into the Strait of Otranto — but they never did find the h,ody!). More depressing disappearances this week include Spitting Image and half a pint of milk out of my fridge. I must admit

that the former is more distressing but the replacement Hot Metal, about the sordid newspaper business, has got some good reviews. Right now a bit of sordidness would go down just great around here to liven things up.

Speaking of things sordid I always wondered what people who play Dungeons and Dragons really got upto. But I have been informed by our local afficionados that there is more to role-playing games than sitting round a table saying things like "I've just zapped your dragon with a Magic Missile". The general impression seems to be that D&D is a reasonable but rather limited

G i v e your heart away this Valentines

Day

game, and cheap once you've spent thefirst£100 on books and starter packs! The local loonies seem to prefer Runequest (edition 2) — mysterious by name, and a mystery to me. It's wrong to be too cynical about this as some of the games shops around London are well worth a browse (Ifindthat browsing shops is often the cheapest and most engrossing pastime in London). THE shop for people with strong fantasy urges is Forbidden Planet in Denmark Street, but the place itself, although it has a wide range of SF books etc, has been described as a 'hole in the wall in Tin-Pan Alley'. Near to Hamlet Gardens is Games Workshop which is full of posters giving a vast number of events and seems to be very helpful. Games People Play up in Notting Hill is, I have been told, good for independent models (ie other than the usual Citadel crud). And two more mainstream shops worth a look at least are the Virgin Games Centre and Hamleys. Personally I can usually spend hours in Hamleys regressing to childhood.

On tofilmsand my favourite venue, The Scala, has some good bills this month. On Saturday the 15th there is an all-nighter featuring Dune, 200 Motels (Frank Zappa), The Wall, Barbarella and Up In Smoke. Then on Thursday 20th there is Dr Strangelove and Apocalypse Now (two of the best films on the madness of war ever made) as a double bill. Saturday 22nd sees anoth" all-nighter with Nightmare On Elm Street, Blood Simple, Videodrome, Company Of Wolves and The Evil Dead (yes the one you're not supposed to be able to get on video). Andfinallyon Friday the 28th there is The Terminator and a film called Death Line. The latter is about a group of survivors from an 1892 rail tunnel disaster preying on commuters on the underground, it's got to be gross!

All night bills at the Scala are £3.70 and start at about 11:30pm.

Normal bills are £2.70 (or £1.70 on prduction of a student card during the afternoon). There is also a 50p initial membership. I can't claim that the Scala is the most luxurious cinema in London but it has a certain character and the food stall is a lot better than the tacky, indigestible, overpriced, rubbish found in most west end flicks.

v So to the end of another week's rambling and pretending to be a pretentious listings mag. I would . like to dedicate this week's column to all those people who have made mountain cycling in Albania what it is today. Its not always fun being a critic, in the words of Eric of Aramathea the sports correspondent of the Galilee Observer 'crucifixion is murder on the hands....'
