Students' rights to stay in Hall at Christmas? 'No—they've got no rights anyway. '—Senior Assistant Finance Officer, Malcolm Aldridge

Southside sold out Students of Southside and Linstead halls have no guarantee that they can live in hall over Christmas, according to M r . M a l c o l m Aldridge of the Finance Department at I C . ' N o student is entitled to residence in hall', he stated, though he said there would be no problem except in the above mentioned halls, where only half the rooms were available for students. Priority would be given to overseas students who had to stay he said. In the minutes to the students residence comittee (SRC) of last November it states that 'all students would continue to pay one weekly rent for the Christmas break, which would entitle them to leave their possesions in the room and occupy it for seven days'. ' A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then', said M r Aldridge. He admitted that they might break this r u l e students may have to remove their luggage to storerooms if rooms cannot be found for the Christmas conferences. Last Christmas had no conferences so the problem didn't arise. M r Aldridge said that if the halls became overcrowded they would advertise in Felix for rooms in other halls for the displaced students. He added that 'we have a contractual obligation to the conferences which we cannot back down from; we have no obligation to the students—they may be required to vacate a room' .On being pressed if students had a right to stay in their rooms if they so wished he replied 'No—they've got no rights anyway.' A n additional rule this year is that students must pay rent at the normal rate for all the Christmas holiday, and not just for one week getting the rest of the holiday rent free, as with last year. M r Aldridge

concluded ' I cannot give a cast iron guarantee to please everybody' M s Loretto O'Callaghan, of the Accomodation Office, declined to comment on most of the questions, but said that problems were unlikely to arise as not very many students usually stayed over Christmas, though she admitted that there was the possibility of difficulties. Dr John Hassard, warden of Tizard and

Selkirk Halls also said that not that many students would want to stay, so no clash would occur. Professor New , warden of FalmouthKeogh hall said 'it's highly likely that it's all a storm in a tea cup.' He said that the number of rooms needed was 'not all that great.' 'It's not an ideal situation,' he said, 'everybody realises it's a compromise'

IC's Director of Undergraduate Studies becomesfirstlocal councilor to instigate Clause 28 of Government bill

Glad to be Levitt ICs director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr Bryan Levitt, is behind Kensington and Chelsea Borough Councils plans to be the first L o n d o n c o u n c i l to use the controversial 'Clause 28' against its homosexual community. The clause, from the recent Conservtive Local Government Act, explicitly forbids local councils from openly 'promoting' homosexuality. It has been condemmed by civil liberties groups who claim that it gives too much room for

prejudice. The council has decided to stop funding the 'Notting Hill Lesbian and Gay Youth Group' apparently without consulting any of its members or any outside specialists. Dr Levitt believes that the group promotes homosexuality at an age when people are still unsure of their sexual preferences, adding that he 'wouldn't want to encourage sexual experience for anyone under the age of 18'. Despite this, he

claimed to be aware of his own heterosexuality at the age of 16, but said that was different. Imperial College Welfare Officer, Jackie Scott, told F E L I X that attitutes towards homosexuals at IC had 'improved dramatically over the last few years' and said it was worrying that a key member of college could apparently hold such 'narrow minded opinions'

FELIX contacted the Rector to ask him who would be Chairing SRC in the future, now that Brian Levitt has vacated the position. The Rector said he did not know; this is interesting since he appoints the successor at present. My fear is that he will appoint one of his lackeys to the post, making the body powerless. After all, if the body that advises the

week's letter is 'F'. We have a few entries for this, but I am sure everybody can try harder to get things in a more ordered fashion in future. To spice the whole thing up a bit more, I am also accepting entries for the letter ' M ' next week, with this letter also rotating each week. It still seems difficult to get away from ' A ' but that's life, I guess.

Council Sketch By Andy Bannister

Council is a traditional forum for the emergence of new sabbatical candidates, and this one marked the first really serious moves on the part of six people. First to make a move was Athos Ritzbiscuit, who announced his intention of running for president by taking off his sunglasses to gasps of awe. The ploy started strongly, but rather petered out. Next to go was next years Hon Sec Events, Murray Williamson, who not only appeared without shades, but put in a further bid in the form of an unusably ambiguous motion about paying people we already pay, to do jobs they already do, but doing it differently. I think that was what he said... Four further contenders for unannounced posts contented themselves with wearing dark glasses and letting off indoor fireworks. Actually, this was a relatively sensible way of registering a protest at the recent decision of the non-smokers on Council to spoil everyone else's fun by banning the evil weed from the meeting the moment the gloves came off. And to the business: the Greeks and the Cypriots have been writing rude letters to the STA about the Turkish Cypriots. It only took half an hour to decide that McCluskey was to write a rude letter to both the Greeks and the Cypriots, being rude about the Turks. The debate was polite and to the point. More so than the debate about Union vans, which managed to work out that if we buy some more, we might have to pay for them, so people ought to book vans six months

in advance. This was presented as a move to maximise the efficiency of usage of the van stocks. Logical? You bet. At least one logical motion was passed on behalf of Dave Williams, which ended up saying that the snack bar has walls, and that the Union lives in a grade 2 listed building, so nobody should stick any. posters on it. It seemed to make sense at the time, but the meeting failed to reach any conclusion about precisely where anyone with a poster could stick it. Answers on a postcard please... The meeting did manage to reach a conclusion on the subject of minutes. It decided that reading through the minutes of the major Subcommittees, or MSCs in Councilspeak, which Council is supposed to oversee would take a very long time, and Council members, finding themselves in danger of having to do some work, voted that one down smartly. In fairness, one could see their point; Council meetings are after all long enough, and any possibility of their continuing past bar closing time should be firmly stamped on. There being no more sabbatical candidates, the meeting was closed before anyone else could put their oar in, and the assembled masses picked up their bags and lit cigarettes with an audible sigh of relief, before heading off to the bar to sun themselves in the reflected glory of membership of the Union's highest body.

The R e t u r n of Swamp T h i n g Adapted from the original DC comic story, this is a light-hearted good versus evil movie, though for a 12 certificate, it has some scary moments. The swamp thing, played by Dick Durock for the second time, used to be brilliant scientist Alec Holland until he was turned into a vegetable by the evil Dr Arcane and his assistant Dr Zurrell (played by Louis Jourdan and Sarah Douglas, famous as Ursa in Superman). Swamp thing retained the intelligence and emotions of Alec but ashamed of his appearance he lives in solitude in the swamp until he meets Abigail. Abigail is Arcane's step-daughter played by Heather Locklear from Dynasty. In the film she investigates the mysterious death of her mother only to fall foul of Arcane's mad experiments on an immortality serum for which she has the correct rare blood type (as did her mother). Swamp thing comes to Abby's rescue more than once and slowly she falls in love with the man behind the gunk. Arcane, however, has other ideas, but although he destroys them both during the film, true love pulls them through. As for Arcane, well that's for the inevitable sequel. So if you're a fan of DC comics or if you just want some light evening's entertainment, The Return of Swamp Thing is for you.

He knows she is engaged. He also knows that whilst the fiance might make a superbly clean-cut and respectable husband, loved by her wealthy daddy and himself alike, her obvious sexual hypertension could only really be satisfied by Him: the sweat-glistening rough guy, waving a sledgehammer at fairground tent pegs to kill the time between brawls and bottles of Bourbon. The director of this film makes no bones about it being based on the same idea as 9'A Weeks. So you can guess what will happen. She wants him, he knows it, and is prepared to let her beg. Unlike its sister movie, however, much of this is blazingly unsubtle-the principal actors are both symbols of Page 4

sexuality, the camerawork is much more open than in 9% Weeks, lessening the sensation of erotic titilation for a far more earthy bum-and-tits production. In between the slagging and the shagging there is a real story going on -probably to make up for the recasting of the kitchen fridge as a humble video recorder and it cannot be denied that certain humanist touches came across, not least the obvious angst to do with her forthcoming marriage, although, on the whole, this was purely an excuse to get your nerve endings tingling and to sit there wishing you dared behave like that. And why not, indeed?

l

This film chronicles the rise of Jerry Lee Lewis (the 'Killer'), from his early inspiration, listening to forbidden 'nigger music', to the point where he is a contender for the crown as 'King of Rock 'n' Roll' when Elvis is drafted. It also tells of his subsequent fall into obscurity when an English reporter-a superb cameo by Peter Cook-discovers that Lewis has bigamously married his thirteen year old second cousin, twice removed. The film's major fault is that it never finds itself a style, careering between a love story, a Good/Evil parable and a musical, with some scenes jarring badly with those that precede them. This is partially compensated for by the sheer enthusiasm that runs through the whole film, mostly emanating from Denis Quaid who plays Lewis as a manic, posturing, immature egotist whose only real redeeming features are his talent at the piano and his devotion to his child bride. The film implies that the only reason this relationship survives is that each is as childish as the other-witness the bubblegum 'kissing' scene. The acting, on the whole is good, although both southern and English accents are occasionally over played—especially the 'cockney porter' in the tour of England sequence (notable for a short pan down Prince Consort Road). The period detail is well maintained too, although in one or two of the shots of London you feel that you have seen something that you weren't supposed to. The songs, re-recorded for the film by Lewis himself, keep your feet tapping throughout and even help sustain the rather limp ending-Lewis having not done the producers a favour by dying early but instead living to a rather obscure middle-age. The film makes for a good evening's entertainment, but if you want a more serious look at the life of Lewis read his wife's book.

If you want to be a Captain of Industry, shouldn't you first learn to navigate? They say it's tough at the top. But it's tougher still getting there if you don't have some basic skills to support you. Some of those skills will come with an accountancy qualification, the rest with the Ernst & Young training programme. We are one of the leading financial advisory firms in the world. Which means we have a wide range of clients, of all sizes, in all industry sectors, all over the globe. Giving you the opportunity to learn from more than one environment, accelerating your ability to gain commercial skills, allowing you to develop your own specialist talents. A n d we have one of the strongest management development programmes around (we even make it available to clients to help train their managers). How do you know an accountancy qualification will help you? Take a look at many of the Captains of Industry today. A n d take a look at the course they took getting there. Their qualification may not be the only reason they got where they are. But it certainly helped.

• Myth: Soviets deny Arms Treaty Violations. Some do: we asked our Soviet students if they thought the Krasnoyarsk phased-array radar violated the ABM treaty. Some nervously said that they had never heard of it; most thought it was OK, including one who lived in its shadow in the Siberian Steppes. Then academic Sagdeev stepped up and blew it for his junior colleagues. Yes, of course it violated the ABM treaty, dammit, and it was a stupid mistake which will cost over 1 bn roubles to put right. But why had the US waited until Reagan's Star Wars speech to point it out, when they'd known about it for ages?

Changing over to nuclear fuels may not be an answer to the greenhouse effect. To use less energy may. be a better solution

Nuclear illusions in the greenhouse windows

• Myth: Military and political needs drive the arms race. Wrong. Ted Taylor, from the US and an expert in weapon development, claimed that the weapon developers in bath blocs make new gadgets first, then take them to their political and military masters, like a dog with a bone. 'Do you want it?' they ask, and the answer is always 'Yes'. Take penetrating warheads: An exciting technology which allows the targetting of underground bunkers and command and control centes. Strategically, they are of dubious utility: in a nuclear exchange, probably the last thing you want to do is kill the people who can stop the thing. But the technology is very exciting, and is attracting big funding. *Myth: Mankind learns from science. Maybe, but with a delay of centuries. Academic Sergei Kapitza, head of the Moscow Institute of Physical Problems, worries that too few politicians know any science. Politics, he claims, has yet to reach the statistical physics and thermodynamics of the 19th century, let alone the non-linear dynamics, turbulence and chaos of our century. It's firmly rooted in Newtonian actionreaction. The solution? Scientists must force themselves, if not to leave their ivory towers, at least to start shouting from them.

Ever since the 'green' conversion of the Government we have been repeatedly told that the best way to reduce C 0 emission is by a massive expansion of the nuclear power industry. It is undoubtedly true that producing electricity with nuclear fuel does release less C 0 (and other greenhouse gases) into the atmosphere, but by concentrating on this point alone we are only looking at one part of a multi-faceted problem and so could unwittingly increase the greenhouse effect. The main problem with the pro-nuclear solution is that carbon dioxide from coal fired power stations only constitutes 10% (approx) of the total produced on earth. So even if we converted completely to nuclear power the larger contributions from transport, oil and gas combustion (20% +) deforestation (approx 20%) and CFC's (14%) and, amusing as it may sound, 'farting' animals, combined with rice paddies and pipe leakage, (18%), would remain unchanged. 2

*Myth: cockroaches are different from people. Unfortunately, from a chemical toxicity point of view, it's all too easy to convert pesticide plants to chemical weapons plants, claimed a key Soviet ex-worker in this field. The US decision to continue with binary weapons even if a treaty is in place was no surprise. But don't despair: unlike cockroaches, people can learn to cooperate, to inspect each other's plants. We must, he concluded, or we bequeath our world to them. *Myth: God has no place in Soviet Society. Wrong. We saw many demonstrating Ukrainian Catholics arousing much benign interest in Arbatskaya (a sort of Covent Garden Market). We visited Orthodox seminaries. Our translator dismissively claimed that there were only 70 or 80 million practising Christians in the Soviet Union. One Soviet nuclear physicist claimed that God had made the half-life of Tritium, needed for H-bombs, only 12 years so as to set the pace of nuclear disarmament. *Myth: Soviet students don't know what the state doesn't want them to know. They knew about Chernobyl, and how to organise protests. They knew about, and largely approved of, the Nationalist movements in the Baltic, especially in so far as they are environmentalists. They knew about acid rain, and the damage to their forests. They also knew about Acid House and Heavy Metal, though all seemed to prefer the Beatles. One even knew about credit cards and Euroyen forward exchange rates. And that's the way it's all going. Vinita Khanna UK participation was funded by Imperial College and the British Council.

Looked at in this light the nuclear power debate seems an irrelevant one. Why should we spend billions in solving only one tenth of the problem? To replace all of the world's coal fired power stations by 2025, allowing for a 2% increase in consumption per year would mean a new nuclear plant being built every 1-2 days. This would increase the number of reactors from 398 to 8,000 at a cost of around $2 billion each. Even if this kind of expansion could happen, no geologically safe technology exists to dispose of the waste we have now, let alone that from 8,000 reactors. Uranium too would eventually become a problem, but for the opposite reason: there wouldn't be enough of it-like oil and coal it's a finite resource. To use less energy may be a better solution. The Government's own adivisers have indicated that energy consumption in the UK could be reduced by 4 0 % (per capita) by 2025. Examples of ways in which we could save energy would be using new technology which makes new buildings 75% more efficient than before, a better, subsidised public transport service, setting efficiency standards for new electrical appliances, and using longer lasting fluorescent light bulbs instead of incandescent ones.

Schemes such as using methane gas from rubbish tips and coal gasfires (ie turning coal into methane before combustion) could also reduce the amount of nonrenewables used. These schemes could be introduced in a few months, instead of the six years minimum for a new nuclear plant to be built. We don't have six years to waste. The true madness of expanding nuclear power in an effort to combat the greenhouse effect is realised when we consider the Third World countries. All of the underdeveloped nations want their chance to enjoy the prosperity that we have had this centurywe have no right to stop them. However for them to compete in a nuclear powered world they would have to spend around $64 billion per year on power. This figure is laughable when you consider that the Third World nations owe over $1000 billion now and have to pay $50 billion just in interest every year. It really is up to the developed countries to research cheap, effective, energy saving technology, so that the underdeveloped nations have an alternative to the slippery slope of atmosphere polluting industrialisation that we have pursued. According to the USA institute, an energy saving strategy can be up to seven times more cost effective in reducing C 0 than a nuclear strategy. Why then does the Government persist with its expansion ideas?...A vision of the miners' strike springs to mind-wouldn't life at no 10 be much easier without a lot of bolshy miners? Also, if you're as keen on nuclear weapons as Mrs Thatcher is, then a guaranteed supply of plutonium is necessary. Therefore by promoting nuclear power at the expense of energy efficiency schemes, we are in very serious danger of the greenhouse effect continuing to accelerate. This could lead to devastating floods, food shortages, loss of drinking water supplies and wars, to name but a few. There are also most sinister overtones such as an increased arms race, terrorists utilising readily available plutonium and accidents.

Beer festival trouble Trouble flared at the Beer Festival on Wednesday, after an incident over the shortage of festival beer glasses. IC Rag Chairman, Hal Calamvokis, told F E L I X that the beer and glasses ran out by 9.30pm this year. M r Calamvokis said that they had bought 1150 beer glasses this year—a record number—and had sold all of them , including those left over from last year. He calculated that £3000 had been raised from beer and glasses alone. On average, he added, each person drank 4.7 pints. There were more people this year than last, he said. Trouble started at 9:45 after more people turned up though all the glasses and beer had been sold. Two young men, described as 'about 5' 11' with short, dark hair' and 'with glasses and very blond hair' probably from Mechanical Engineering and 'third years or pretending to be third years' tried various ruses to obtain glasses, for instance saying theirs had been stolen or broken. After this failed they resorted to stealing glasses from members of the R C S , and these members then turned them out. They tried twice to get back in. In the morning it was discovered that many rag posters had been torn from walls. Hal Calamvokis claimed that this amounted to a loss of about £100 in publicity. Though he conceded that the wind may have been responsible for some of this, he was sure that the cleaners had not 'blitzed' the walls, and some of the blame lay with these troublemakers . During the night the glass cabinet reserved for college welfare notices at the Electrical Engineering end of the Sherfield walkway was smashed. M r Calamvokis thought these two may have been responsible for this as 'generally they were vandals'. Five tickets for rag week went missing , valued at £16 each, though these were returned the next day. He concluded by saying there had not been as much vomiting as usual and the mens conveniences had not been trashed as they usually were, probably becuase when the beer ran out the revellers went elsewhere to continue drinking. ' Next year we will hopefully have 800 pints more and more glasses', he added.T was stone-cold sober.and I went home alone.'

Community news M r Peter Mee, College Registrar, is in the process of sending letters on Poll Tax registration to all fulltime students at IC. The letter is to reassure them that he will be giving only the minimum information to local authorities, following the statutory requirements for the poll tax (or community charge). According to law, the college need only disclose students' names and term-time addresses, although, M r Mee said, certain authorities had asked for more information. He told F E L I X ' W e hold a lot of information—previous schools etc. I am giving the absolute minimum to them.' He explained that he thought that Borough Councils may take a census of their area and^may expect students to present themselves to the council offices with the registrar's certificate as proof of where they are currently studying. He stressed that according to the Department of the Environment practice notes, no student is required to part with the certificate at any time.

Paper planes On Tuesday 14th November, paper plane makers from all over college will have a chance to practice their art at the Annual Paper Aeroplane Competition. The planes will be launched from the Union Building from 1.30pm. Entry is 50p with an additional lOp for each flight. A l l the money will go to Great Ormond Street Hospital. Prizes include 3 books from Dillons bookshop, jigsaws from the Science Museum, 3 free video hires from IC Bookstore, a free haircut, a parrot-on-a-spring, dinosaur or zebra mug and animal puzzles from the Natural History Museum. A l l the entries must be on paper of less than A3 size, and the winners will have the fruits of their labours displayed in the bookshop in the Science Museum. Anyone interested in entering should contact Andrew Chipling on extension 4748.

Prizes! Prospective honours graduates in Chemistry or Chemical Engineering who are in their final year have been offered the chance to win ÂŁ700. The ten such prizes are being made by the 'Salters Institute of Industrial Chemistry', and are given on the basis of 'the candidates potential....to occupy a leading position in the U K chemical industry'. The head of each related department can nominate only one candidate.

Wednesday

Student timetables were unexpectedly rearranged on Thursday as Imperial received its five-yearly visit from the University Funding Council (UFC). Council representatives visited the Civil Engineering and Biology departments. College had known that the visit was due for some while although no-one appeared to know of the Council's exact plans. This, explained Professor Roy Anderson, Head of the Department of Biology, was why changes were made to lectures and lab work at very short notice; second year undergraduates from Professor Anderson's department, who were expecting a lecture on 'Comparison of Plant and Animal Physiology', unexpectedly found themselves doing practical work. The delegation had specifically asked to see a practical group at work.
