Raise "The Titanic"! FELIX has received several complaints about the state
of the new Hall in Montpelier Street. We sent a reporter
along to give an impression of the current situation in the
building, and to assess whether it deserves the newly
acquired nickname "The Titanic". Report on page 3.

Rent Reduction (.(U)hmu(l jiiuii front ftftge
for Residents? T h e o r i g i n s o f i b i s a r t i c l e s tem f r o m the d i s a p p o i n t m e n t o f a
considerable number of Montepe l i e r residents ;\t the state of their
" h o m e " and "p lace ol s tudy" for at least the coming academic year.
However it is considered that ihe condit ion of this H a l l of Residence
aifords mention if only lo br ing to the attention ol n o n - M o n t p C l i c r
residents the condit ion which the occupants arc bas ing to endure.
As reported in the previous editon of F E L I X the H a l l is designed to
house 84 postgraduate students, mostly in single rooms, a l though
accommodat ion for marr ied couples is also provided. T h e H a l l is very
convenient for College and also for various shopping needs.
The single rooms in the Hal l s are. on the whole, very smal l . In a
number of cases desks have, as yet, not been provided and no specific
date has been given as to when they can be expected. Indeed, in certain
ins tances it seems v e r y d i f f i c u l t to i m a g i n e h o w desks w i l l be
accommodated wi th in the rooms as space is extremely l imi ted . In lact
the space l imi tat ion has prompted a number ol the residents lo start
referring to their rooms as "pigeonholes" .
A l t h o u g h the lights work in a l l the rooms none of them have any
electricity sockets so that equipment such as bills, lamps, etc., cannot
be used.
T h e heating in the rooms is also ot a defunct nature, in that a l though
various reports ol the Iced pipes w a r m i n g slightly have been received,
no actual eases of w a r m radiators have been known.
Since M o n t p c l i c r Street is a self-catering hal l , kitchens are provided
so that residents may prepare the ir o w n food. However , this seemingly
simple operation bad been hindered by a lew minor setbacks such as
the absence ol a gas supply for the cookers. However , when the supply
is restored the idea ol twenty people having to share two cookers does
not seem very invi t ing . Electr ic kettles have as yet not materialised so
that the preparation of hot thinks has became exceedingly difficult.
Residents were informed that there would be laundry facilities in the
basement, but these have not vet been provided . A common room was
also ant ic ipated , bin this has not been completed either. U n t i l recently
some ol the toilets and bathrooms were devoid ol doors causing an
understandable degree ol "d i s comfor t " to users of these facilities. These
have now been provided.
The geographical location ol the H a l l (just oi l Brompton R d ) a n d
about a minutes walk from Harrods adds to the prestige ol the H a l l and
p r e s u m a b l y the rent . This /J23pw. in o t h e r words ( l or a l l its
deficiencies) is more expensive than the Southside Hal ls .
The residents of the H a l l are a very friendly group of people and in
al l fairness it must be said that when the renovation ol the H a l l is
finally completed it w i l l be a most enjoyable place to reside. However ,
this stage ol complet ion is nol antic ipated in the immediate future.
l 'lie H a l l , a l though as yet nameless, has attracted a varied selection
ol nicknames ol w h i c h the most popular is " T h e T i t a n i c " . A l t h o u g h il
surely gives the residents no pleasure to use ibis name, i l does seem to
sum up the leel ing of discontent about the slate of ibis H a l l o l
Residence.
It is realised that the H a l l has just recently been acquired by
Imper ia l Col lege and so teething problems were inevitable and indeed
antic ipated. However , there is a strong leel ing a m o n g certain residents
thai I he rent ol j£23pw is too high for the services being provided al
present. M a n y leel that a reduction in the rent unt i l a l least ibe l ime
when the H a l l is hil ly renovated would be appropriate .

Secrets of the S.S A guide to
Student Services
Most people will probably be aware by now
of the newly established Student Services
Office at 15 Princes Gardens. For those
who have s o m e h o w p a s s e d us by or
haven't yet real ised the full range of
facilities available, here is a breakdown of
what we cover:
College Accommodation
Application and billing for all the College
a c c o m m o d a t i o n a l located to students
begins with us, including a limited number
of flats for families.
Private Sector Accommodation
We have details of many types of accom
modat ion current ly avai lable. Most of
these are in West London, some are close
to College, while we occassionally get
oddities like an attic on the Isle of Dogs or
a yacht in St. Catherine's Dock. If you feel
in need of a change of abode during the
year, come along often enough and just
what you are looking for may turn up. If not
our A c c o m m o d a t i o n G u i d e lists some
agencies that have proved helpful in the
past. It also contains information on some
of the legal aspects of being a tenant.
Which brings me on to
Legal Advice
This includes all kinds of legal problems
from traffic offences to making claims
under the small claims procedure in the
county court.
In certain cases where you may have to
have a solicitor, as for example, you would
if you wanted someone to represent you in
a magistrates court , we have lists of
solicitors who do legal aid work—which is
free if y o u r i n c o m e is low e n o u g h —
together with the areas of the law that they
s p e c i a l i s e in . T h e s e l is ts a l s o note
solicitors who speak languages other than
English.
Landlord Problems
These can be many and varied. One of the
problems is knowing just what your rights
are. Other problems, such as an imminent
breakdown in the relationship between
tenant and l a n d l o r d , may be he lped
through an intermediary such as our
selves.
Consumer Rights
Legislation over the last few years has
given the consumer cons iderab le pro
tect ion. However, it is still up to the
individual to find out how he stands in any
t ransact ion that appears to have gone
wrong, and summon up enough energy to
commence battlelThis is where we can
provide reinforcements with advice and
s o m e t i m e s direct in tervent ion when
appropriate.
Immigration/Home Office Problems
This is an area which may require the skills
of specialist organisations or solicitors
which we can put you in touch with,
although for routine enquiries we should
be able to provide most of the answers.
Insurance
We have quite a selection of leaflets on
m a n y t y p e s of i n s u r a n c e , i n c l u d i n g
b i c y c l e s , p e r s o n a l , p o s s e s s i o n s and
holidays.
Covenants
Here is a useful way of supplementing your
income by reclaiming tax paid by your
parents on their contribution to your grant.
F o r m s e x p l a i n i n g the p r o c e d u r e are
available from Student Services.
Benefits
We have most of the relevant Department
of Health and Social Security leaflets, such
as those on all a s p e c t s of the N H S
( including medical treatment abroad) ,
National Insurance contributions, unem
p loyment benef i t and rent a l l o w a n c e
schemes.
Grants
Help with chasing up recalcitrant LEAs.
advice on eligibility for grants, details of
certain discretionary allowances and lists
of educational charities can be provided
Miscellaneous
This includes such things as reference
b o o k s on ho l iday jobs and w o r k i n g
hol idays, while we also aim to act as
intermediaries between those looking for
tu tor ing work and those in need of
tutoring.
If there 's any th ing e lse you n e e d ,
information on topics not mentioned here,
come and see us in the Student Services
Office. If we cant help, there s always out

EXEC VIEWS I am sure that the first years amongst you were a little overawed by the
Freshers ' Reception on Monday . Y o u probably also found Freshers ' Fair
really hectic and how about those first lectures? Because of all that goes
on in the first week of term and as a reminder for second and third years I
shall go over the impression we were trying to create at the Reception.
The people in this U n i o n Office are really quite human and very keen
to help you. The three sabbatical officers are all students who went
through the same processing and settling in when they first came to
College. The three permanent staff in the office, J e n , J o and Pat , are
charming and knowledgable. Please feel at home in this office and come
up here if you have any problems or queries.
W e should be able to advise on any College related problem (and a few
outside College). If you are having difficulties with your course and want
help come and see us. If you want to complain about a member of staff or
warden or any College employee come and see us. Similarly if you want
to complain about a service offered by College come and see us. If you
want to complain about a U n i o n Officer come and see me. A n d if you
want to complain about me, go and see Barney. Of course if you have
anything pleasant to tell us we want to hear that too.
The U n i o n has officers to help with academic affairs, welfare, Rag and
all the clubs and societies. M a k e use of them, they all promised so much
when they stood for election.
A s far as Barney , M a r c o and myself are concerned, grab us in the office,
in our rooms (we all live in College residence) or in the street. I suppose I
had better add what all Presidents say, you can sometimes catch us in the
bar.
So have a good year at IC . W o r k hard but enjoy yourselves.

"Experiment is always right,
the theory never!"
FELIX talked to Professor Eric Laithwiate, who will give the first
H.G. Wells Society lecture of the year on Monday evening.
I'd like to start oil by asking you a little
about your background, Prolessor. Was
there any particular event which got you
interested in science and engineering in
particular?
It's not so m u c h an 'event' , it's the p e o p l e
y o u c o m e a c r o s s on y o u r j o u r n ey that i n
f luence y o u . I was b l e s s e d with a very g o o d
p h y s i c s master at s c h o o l . I th ink I c a n p lace
it back to then . P l u s I had parents w h o were
interested in th i n gs of that nature ; my father
w a s a farmer y o u see, but he ret ired early.
H e s h o u l d have been an eng ineer , h e w o u l d
have m a d e a very g o o d one .
Did you live in an industrial area?
Y e s , but not o n e d i rec t ly c o n n e c t e d with
what I do now. I was b r o u g h t up in a s m a l l
c o t t on w e a v i n g t o w n , it was an indus t r ia l
v i l lage if y o u l ike , but I wasn ' t invo lved in the
co t ton indust ry .
Did you have any hobbies as a child?
I h a d all sor ts of h o b b i e s as a c h i l d . I went to
s e c o n d a r y s c h o o l in the o r d i n a r y way so I
p l a y e d c r i c k e t a n d r u g b y f o o t b a l l a n d
t h i n g s that o n e does at s c h o o l . P l u s I p l a y e d
guitar , I h a d a p o p g r o u p in the 1930s, w h i c h
was a h e a d of its t ime! I've c o l l e c t e d butter
flies a n d m o t h s ever s i n c e I c o u l d walk I
f in i shed up wr i t ing a book on it. Y o u ' v e got
to get y o u r m o n e y back s o m e h o w , y o u see!
Did you go straight to university to study
engineering?
N o I left s c h o o l to jo in the a i r f orce in 1939
w h e n I w a s 18. It w a s d u r i n g the a i r force
years , I s u p p o s e , I real ly d e c i d e d that it was
e n g i n e e r i n g I w a n t e d to do , b e c a u s e at
s c h o o l they never to ld me a b o u t e n g i n e e r
ing . In t h o s e d a y s they never h a d careers
masters l ike they do now. I w o u l d have been
in the c iv i l s e rv i ce if it wasn ' t for the war,
p u s h i n g a pen .
What did you do during the war?
I s tarted as an ins t rument basher , of w h i c h
there is n o t h i n g lower , a n d g r a d u a t e d to get
a c o m m i s s i o n in 1943 a n d e n d e d up at the
e x p e r i m e n t a l s tat ion at R . A . F a r n b o r o u g h
w h i c h is w h e r e the interest really b e g a n a n d
all sor ts of e x c i t i n g t h i n g s went on there,
e s p e c i a l l y d u r i n g w a r t i m e . I got a c lass five
re lease in 1946 to go a n d b e c o m e an u n d e r
g r a d u a t e at the age of 25 in M a n c h e s t e r ,
a n d d id a masters degree a n d then got a
s t a f f a p p o i n t m e n t a n d w a s a s s i s t a n t
l e c turer for four years . I was then s e n i o r
l e c turer a n d after that got the a p p o i n t m e n t
here.
I'm sure things will have changed since
your freshman days, but is there any advice
that you might give to freshers?
It hasn ' t c h a n g e d as y o u might th ink. T h e
p u r p o s e of un ivers i ty is to have y o u r m i n d
t ra ined . It's never been any dif ferent s i n c e
S o c r a t e s a n d it doesn ' t m u c h matter what
y o u get it t ra ined in . S o m e of o u r g r a d u a t e s
are m a n a g e r s of M a r k s a n d S p e n c e r s , on
the o ther h a n d , you ' ve got peop le d o i n g
g o o d e n g i n e e r i n g wi th A r t s degrees . If y o u
get y o u r m i n d t ra ined it doesn ' t real ly
matter what it's t r a i n e d in so l ong as it's
versat i le . Y o u ' v e got to c o m e to un ivers i ty
wi th an o p e n m i n d . It isn't l ike what i t w a s a t
s c h o o l . O h m ' s L a w isn't true . Y o u ' v e got to
keep a n o p e n m i n d ; you ' ve got to d i s c o v e r a

Eric Laithwaite is Professor ofHeauy Electrical
Engineering at Imperial College. He is undoubt
edly the father of the linear induction motor in
its modern form and is well-known for demon
strating the unusual properties of gyroscopes.
Is this your personal philosophy?
I'd ca l l it c o m m o n s e n s e !
When you are dealing with your engineer
ing, is it the application and experiment.
E x p e r i m e n t is a / w a y s r i g h t , t h e t h e o r y
never! E x p e r i m e n t rules .
On Monday you will be giving the
inaugural lecture for the H.G. Wells
Society, of which you are President. Have
you any surprises in store for us?
O h yes . T h i n g s that I h o p e p e o p l e w i l l say
" W h y d idn ' t y o u t e a c h us that at s c h o o l ? "
I've l e c tured the s o c i e ty before o n four or

W e are fe l low s t u d e n t s in a c o m m o n c a u s e .
I never want to be any dif ferent.
I understand that the point of the society is
to celebrate the life and works of H.G.
Wells and to pursue matters that Wells
might have been interested in. Is there
anything that you particularly would like
done by the society?

And finally, what about Professor Laith

I never want to retire. A n y o n e w h o is a true

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
SF Soc Greetings! The semi impossible has happened.
A new academic year and the soc of socs still
exists and will, by unpopular demand, be
meeting in Southside Upper Lounge today. If
you don't know where that is, ask someone
arrogant-looking, they re probably a second or
third year. If you are a second or third year and
don't know, congratulations. This epoch-
something event starts oneish. If you don't go,
worry not, this column will contain all the
important news (hah!); the column known last
year as one of the least controversial bits, of
anything anywhere, recommended by Dr H.J.
Pain as the only part of FELIX worth reading,
and by Steve Marshall (last year's editor) as
the only part of FELIX not worth reading.
Don't forget Alien on Tuesday (ME220) at
6:30pm, FREE to members (membership on
door) and 50p to non members, that's
Tuesday, one out of seven days of the week.
There may be organisations giving better value
for money, but our showing of this film is not
their signature. Showing films is one of the
things they didn't do in the library of
Alexandria, which contained that great lost
scroll, the constitution of SF Soc, which was
lost when the library was burnt to the ground
by Nigel Calder in a fit of envy. A recon
struction of this document will be featured in a
mammoth thir teen-part socia l sc ience
popularisation series on the fourth channel in
1983, to be fronted by Francoise Sagan and
entitled 'New York Cosmos', completed with
tie-in book, tie-in tie, and tie-in football team.
A l s o coming s o o n , a variety of I C S F
productions, including 'Escape from South
Kensington', 'Scholars' , and 'Day of the
Triffics'. Well, once again we're coming to the
end of an SF Soc bulletin, and my goodness
we've had a good time bringing it to you
haven't we Mike? Yes Mike we certainly have
and now to wish all our readers a fond
farewell, I hand you over to Mike. Thanks
Mike, well we're about to close down so I'll say
goodbye, tune in next week, and declare
myself yours till the B B C produce a decent SF
radio serial. Be seeing you.

SDP The response to the formation of the Social
D e m o c r a t i c P a r t y i n M a r c h h a s b e e n
staggering. Despite the jeers from the tired old
hacks of the fac...(sorry Conservative) and
Mar. . . (sorry Labour) parties, in six months the
S D P has achieved a position which ensures
that it will form the government after the next
election. W h o would have thought in M a r c h
that Roy Jenkins would gain over forty percent
of the vote in Labour 's fiftieth safest seat?
Under successive governments since the
end of the war we have suffered an economic
collapse which makes Ireland and Italy look
positively flourishing. W e have had govern
ments that have stifled individual initiative
either by excessive centralisation (Labour) or
by helping big business to the exclusion of
s m a l l b u s i n e s s m e n ( C o n s e r v a t i v e ) , (cf S .
Williams "Politics is for People"). But there is no
point in crying over spilt milk.
A measure of a country 's stagnation may be
taken as what event in the past do people refer
to as a watershed in their lives. In France it is
the events of 1968, in the United States it is the
Vietnam W a r , and so on. W e are one of the
very few countries whose people refer, as I did
earlier, to the end of the second world war
from which modern dates are taken. A n event
over a generation ago is still very much with
us. This strikes me as the most compelling
evidence that this country has stagnated.
W e must break out of the straightjacket of
the two party system which has ruled us. They
have failed utterly and completely. We need
reform like that which we had in the 1830s: of
the constitution, of the voting system, of the
economic and industrial structure. Only the
S D P can carry this out because all the other
parties have vested interests which cannot
permit them to carry out policies of reform.
David O w e n is coming on Tuesday, October
13 to speak in the Great Hall on the S D P . T o
all of you, especially freshers, I appeal to you to
come and listen to him; to discover whether or
not you are satisfied with the present system,
and, if you are not, to help change it to build a
better country.

Consoc At present Britain is suffering at the hands of
an unfortunate world recession. W e are not
the on ly c o u n t r y to be a f fected a n d the
Government is insisting on stern measures in
order to try and half the decay of British
industry, and to force the country to become
economically viable again.
The Conservative Party now has several
political opponents, however none of these
offer a feasible solution to the recession. They
are, without exception, a very poor alternative
to conservatism.
A t I m p e r i a l , we t r y to f o r w a r d t h e

Union meetings. If you are interested in joining
the Conservative Society please come to our

Brooke, MP will be there to speak and he is
always willing to answer any* questions.
CND O n Thursday, October 15, at 1:00pm Tony
Al lan from the national C N D office will be in
the Upper Lounge to lead a discussion. This
will be an opportunity for all of those people in
College interested in disarmament to come
together and find out more about some of the
issues and arguments involved. This is not just
an introductory meeting for those new to
College—everyone is welcome to come along,
however unconvinced you may be.
What we also need is people who are willing
to spend a little time each week helping to run
the group and promote C N D . Those who were
active last year are especially asked to be
there—the campaign can only succeed if more
and more people take a hand.
Chaplaincy Y o u may well have come across a Chaplaincy
member visiting you in your Hall or House , or

groups.
T h e a i m of these g r o u p s is to enable
students to meet socially and to discuss topics
which they might otherwise be unable to do in
College. Information about where and when
these meetings are held will be displayed on
p o s t e r s in the r e l e v a n t H a l l , H o u s e o r
department.
The West L o n d o n Chaplaincy also holds
services every Sunday; this takes place in the

Although I've been living in Southside since

I live in. Being under the impression that
T izard and Selkirk Halls were combined at the
end of the last session, I toyed with " T i z k i r k "
or " S e l a r d " for a while. However , Warden
Henry Hutchinson informs me that the two
Halls will be deliberately kept separate and
have individual social lives and Hall com
mittees, etc. This , of course, means that we
Selkirk residents may continue to sneer at
those awful T izard people through the locked
inter-connecting door (surely a fire-risk!).
Look ing down, on the other hand, (as we
Selkirkians often do) to the lower half of
S o u t h s i d e , 1 see t h a t the W a r d e n has
completely integrated the two Halls , and will
hence re-name it "Fa leogh" and " K e n m o u t h "
very shortly. H o w confusing!
H a l l s of H a l l H a l l
I received a few interesting names for the new
r e s i d e n c e i n M o n t p e l i e r S t r e e t . It w a s
s u g g e s t e d that Hall Hall w o u l d on ly be
appropriate if Beit Warden , Ch r i s Halls , was
appointed as numero uno in the Knightsbridge
domicile. Horticultural Hall was a tribute to
our own dear Rector, as (presumably) was
Toad Hall. Full marks for confusion value
goest to Albert Hall and the only serious
suggestion was Wells Hall (an excellent choice
in my opinion).
M i n d you , considering the current state of
the building (with a definite lack of electrical
power causing annoyance) perhaps we should
call it Bugger 'all!

mmmt Those of you who managed to get hold of a
copy of the last F E L I X of the summer term
may remember that, as usual, I set four prize
puzzles together with a handful of 'quickies' .
N o w a l t h o u g h (or p o s s i b l y b e c a u s e ) the
summer break is so long, I received N O T A
S I N G L E E N T R Y to any of the prize puzzles.
Since the response to the Chr is tmas and
Easter competitions was so good, I feel sure
that the main reason for the absence of entries
was that many regular solvers didn't get a copy
of the summer F E L I X . ( Y o u may recall we
had certain distibution problems when four
thousand copies of F E L I X were stolen.)
An y w ay , whyever it was, I had put a hell of a
lot of work into setting those puzzles, and 1
don't see why I should give the answers away
without somebody doing some work on them;
so unless I receive any strong complaints from
w o u l d - b e s o l v e r s w h o h a v e s u f f e r e d a n
agonising summer of frustration waiting for the
solutions, I shall reset the four prize puzzles as
ordinary weekly puzzles throughout the term.
Quickie Solutions

utions to the non-
prize puzzles from
the summer F E L I X ,
and also last week's
quickie.

A solution to the domino problem is shown
in the diagram.
9 and 9 have the property that their sum is
the same as their product , but with the digits
reversed.
The words liquefy, rarefy, putrefy, stupefy,

s tupe fac t ion , i r idescent , inocu la t i on , mars
(=disfigures), consensus, loth (=unwilling) and
supersede are all spelt correctly. T o his credit
a n d s u r p r i s e , M a r k S m i t h was the on ly
m e m b e r of the F E L I X staf f w h o k n e w
(guessed) this.
Of the poker hands, hand (d) is the best,
hand (a) the worst, and hands (b) and (e) are
equal in strength. If the hands could occur
during the same deal, then of course (a) would
be best. But as the hands cannot occur on the
same deal, their values must be based on their
probabilities of winning. E a c h of the full houses
can be beaten by the same number of fours of
a k ind , but by different numbers of straight
f lu sh es , (a) c a n be b e a t e n by 32 s t ra ight
flushes, (d) can only be beaten by 24, and the
others by various numbers in between. This
accounts for the paradox.
A t face v a l u e , ( x -a ) ( x b ) . . . ( x - z ) , w h e n
expanded as a polynomial has 2 2 6 terms. But a
moment's reflection shows that the twenty-
fourth factor is (x-x), and so the expression is
identically zero.
This Week's Offering
N o prize puzzle this week, but if anyone
sends me a set of solutions to the following few
quickies, I'll buy them a pint if I see them in the
bar. A l ! the solutions are well-known English
words. ' Y ' is to be regarded as a consonant.
1. W h a t s ing l e - sy l l ab l e w o r d has eight
letters?
2. What six letter word contains no vowels?
3. What word contains five consecutive
vowels?
4. What word begins with seven consecutive
consonants and ends with nine?
Finally, may I remind you that there's still
time to enter both Monday ' s puzzle , and the
competition puzzle in the handbook. G o o d
luck!
