Carlisle visits College The timely Conservative Society invitation for the Secretary of State for Education, the Rt Hon Mark Carlisle, MP to visit the College gave overseas students an oppurtunity to discuss the differential fees issue.

M r Carl is le said: " O n e regrets h a v i n g to make the decision to introduce ' fu l l cost' fees for overseas students but their numbers had grown to such a size that it cost over £100m per year merely to subsidise their fees.

" T h e L a b o u r Government tr ied reduc ing the quota but it d i d n ' t work. T h e result was a totally indescr iminate choice of students without enquiries into their financial s i tuation. W e thought that it was right to do away w i t h indescr iminate subsidies.

" I wou ld l ike to give more i n d i v i d u a l assistance to students from parts of the wor ld that one wants to help but it is not easy to decide who should have the top pr ior i ty . Br i t i sh dependents or students from C y p r u s , who have not home universities, or people from the developing wor ld a l l deserve cons iderat ion . "

M r Car l i s le disputed the L o n d o n Student Conference's findings that overseas students provide a net inflow of £32m, comment ing , " the Overseas Student Trust have stated that there was no va l id i ty in the figure of £32m or that overseas students w i l l enhance our economic situation in future. In the end it comes d o w n to the question — what can we do to help po l i t i ca l needs?"

Besides hear ing questions on overseas student fees, M r Car l i s le gave a general talk on Br i t i sh E d u c a t i o n . H e l inked the future of industry changes of attitudes in educat ion . " W e must emphasise the importance of mathematics and science. M o r e girls should be encouraged to take engineering rather than persuaded at the age of fourteen that the subject is not for t h e m " .

M r C a r l i s l e c o n c l u d e d b y s a y i n g : " I m p e r i a l C o l l e g e is a n amalgamat ion of three colleges, the R o y a l Col lege of Science, the R o y a l Schoo l of M i n e s , a n d C i t y a n d G u i l d s . T h a t combinat ion is a marriage w h i c h not only succeeds at Imper ia l but is a marriage necessary lor the success of Br i t i sh industry as a w h o l e " .

Hairline Causes Controversy

Dave G a y o r , C i ty and Gui lds President, had his haed totally shaved on Sunday in the U n i o n B a r , at the Gui lds Election Bar night.

M r G a y o r told F E L I X that he considered having his head shaved to be well worth it, as £300 had been collected for Rag. Even with his head shaved he did not look as funny as R ich A r c h e r . A lady friend of Dave 's expressed a favourable opinion on his new 'clean cut' appearance, although in general the " M r S m o o t h " image has met with mixed reaction.

Star Man at IC Patrick M o o r e , Britain's most famous amateur astronomer, gave a

lecture about the planet M a r s in the Physics Dept . last Friday evening . The lecture organised by the recently reformed Astronomica l S o c , was well attended and included a general question session.

After a brief guide to the conditions on the planet of the solar system, a historical outline of the astronomical observations of Mars was given. D r . Moore outlined every­t h i n g f r o m P e r c i v a l L o w e l l ' s f a m o u s ' c a n a l s ' to the r e c e n t V i k i n g mission. This has dispelled the commonly held opinion that M a r s c o u l d s u p p o r t at l eas t primitive vegetation. The planet is now known to be a small , arid world with a tenuous atmosphere which could not support life as we know it.

However , he concluded with an a p p r a i s a l of the p o s s i b i l i t y of colonizing Mars . O f all the planets it appears that M a r s would best s u i t a se l f s u p p o r t i n g h u m a n c o l o n y l i v i n g i n a n e n c l o s e d environment.

W h e n asked by F E L I X about his regular appearance on the B B C ' s S k y A t N i g h t p r o g r a m m e he quipped, "I ' l l stay on as long as they'll have me!"

Patr ick M o o r e was 58 on W e d ­nesday. W e at F E L I X wish him a very happy birthday and the best of luck for the future.

Dear Mr Marshall I ' m w r i t i n g to make a couple

of points about I C refectories as c o m p a r e d to o t h e r u n i v e r s i t y refectories. Be ing a th i rd year a p p l y i n g for P h D s , etc., I 've had the pleasure of sampl ing food at L a n c a s t e r , B i r m i n g h a m a n d W a r w i c k .

A t Lancaster you could get a good three course meal w i th a choice of several m a i n courses a n d deserts for £1. T h e tables were ready la id and the cutlery, etc., was spotlessly c lean, and there was even someone to collect the dishes after you had l inished!

A t B i r m i n g h a m I was taken to the stall refectory where a very good m a i n course and pudd ing was £1. There was a wide choice a n d the standard was extremely h i g h . T h e c u t l e r y a n d tables aga in were c lean. I was also told that a two course meal in the union was about 60p.

A t W a r w i c k a g o o d m a i n course was about 50p and there was a choice of about six. A g a i n the food was excellent. T h e y had serviettes saying " U n i v e r s i t y of W a r w i c k C a t e r i n g Service, our a i m is to please at a l l t imes" . I only wish the same could be said about our catering.

I a m in L ins tead H a l l and therefore forced to sample at least three meals per week at £1.37 each (or at least pay for them). T h e standard is far lower than at any other university I've sampled , more expensive, a n d there's no

choice ol food. T h e crockery and cutlery is often not as c lean as it ought to be and the food is often cold. W e often throw it in the bin after one mouthful .

Second, a n d specifically on the disarmament questions, it is clear that i f these questions had been phrased and ordered differently quite opposite response might have resulted. A n equal ly v a l i d o p e n i n g q u e s t i o n c o u l d have been: " D o you believe there w i l l be a nuclear w a r i n your life­t ime? " Perhaps followed by: " D o you expect to survive such a w a r ? " A n o t h e r e x a m p l e o f Consoc 's bias on this issue can be seen in the February edit ion of the C o n s o c C o m i c , M o r n i n g C l o u d . I n s t a t i n g t h e i r case against C N D the C h a i r m a n had th i s to say a b o u t the cost o f Br i ta in ' s independent deterrent: " . . . t h e cost o f m a i n t a i n i n g Br i ta in ' s nuclear deterrent (as opposed to in t roduc ing a new system) is about £126m per year — or less than the annua l budget o f t h e L o n d o n B o r o u g h o f C a m d e n " . It is, of course, the £5,000m w h i c h w i l l be spent on the new T r i d e n t system that is the important figure.

length filling in the very biased history of Palestine and Israel in the artic le " S t u d y in the Shadow of the G u n " ( F E L I X 578), but I s h a l l r e s t r i c t t h i s l e t t e r to p r o v i d i n g a l i t t l e i n f o r m a t i o n about B i r Zei t Univers i ty .

U n d e r the J o r d a n i a n occupa­tion from 1948 to 1967 there were no u n i v e r s i t i e s i n J u d e a a n d S a m a r i a , a n d the J o r d a n i a n a u t h o r i t i e s r e f u s e d to g r a n t university status to any inst i tu ­t ion seeking it. However , under Israeli adminis trat ion since 1967, advances have been made i n the educat ional f ield, a n d these are

now two full-fledged universities a n d two colleges i n J u d e a and S a m a r i a .

B i r Zeit , a secondary school d u r i n g most of the J o r d a n i a n occupat ion was accorded univer ­sity status in 1973. Since then, its student body has risen to 1,500. T w o years ago, approva l was given for the opening of new faculties, the enlargement of the board of governors and a large scale b u i l d i n g programme.

T h e institution enjoys c o m ­plete academic freedom. There is no i n t e r f e r e n c e i n its p r o ­g r a m m e o f s t u d i e s a n d n o a d m i n i s t r a t i v e restr ic t ions are imposed on the r u n n i n g of its day to day affairs.

T h e F E L I X article states that O r d e r N o 854 issued by the West Bank M i l i t a r y G o v e r n o r in J u l y 1980 a imed to curb the academic freedom and enable the occupa­t ion authorities to interfere to a n unprecedented extent. In view of the f a c t t h a t J o r d a n i a n l a w appl icable in the area inc luded no provision for the establish­ment or funding of universities a n d in order to avo id a legal v a c u u m , the Israeli Author i t ies decided to provide a legal and administrat ive framework for the f u n c t i o n i n g o f u n i v e r s i t i e s , s i m i l a r to those e x i s t i n g w i t h respect to universities throughout the wor ld .

A c o m m i t t e e o f l e g a l a n d educat ional experts considered various forms of legislation and chose to amend the J o r d a n i a n E d u c a t i o n a n d C u l t u r e L a w (No 16) 1964 by extending its a p p l i ­cat ion to universities in the A r e a , thereby preferring to m a i n t a i n local law rather than in t roduc ing new legislation, or rely upon the m o r e r i g o r o u s g o v e r n m e n t s u p e r v i s o r y p r o v i s i o n s o f the A m m a n Univers i ty L a w .

Order N o 854 thus extends the appl i cat ion of the J o r d a n i a n law to the i n s t i t u t i o n s for h i g h e r educat ion set up in the area since the commencement of the Israeli A d m i n i s t r a t i o n . O n the basis of Israel's obligations under Inter­nat ional L a w to ensure publ i c order a n d safety, considerations of pub l i c order were added to the cr i t i er ia for grant ing licences for the establishment of educat ional i n s t i t u t i o n s . S i m i l a r l y , t h e possibility of considering convic ­t i o n f o r s e c u r i t y o f f e n c e s o r a d m i n i s t r a t i v e d e t e n t i o n was added to the cr i ter ia for appo int ­ing or transferring teachers, and a system of entry permits was instituted in order to prevent inf i l trat ion into universities a n d c o l l e g e s b y t h o s e p a i d a n d instructed to disrupt the educa­t i o n a l s y s t e m a n d a d v o c a t e violence.

Bernie Pryor (last year's RSMU President and Prof Pryor's son) with Ian MacGregor

The Min and Met Soc Second Robert Pryor Memorial Lecture on Tuesday was given by Mr Ian MacGregor, Chairman of the British Steel Corporation.

Professor P r y o r was H e a d of the D e p a r t m e n t o f M i n e r a l Resources Eng ineer ing when he died in J u l y 1979. P r o f P r y o r was also President of the Institution of M i n i n g and M e t a l l u r g y 1978/9 .

T h e Rector , the L o r d Flowers, chaired the meet ing a n d d u r i n g his introduct ion of M r M a c G r e g o r commented : " I a n has he ld the j o b of B S C C h a i r m a n for less than a year a n d already the L a d y wjio 's not for t u r n i n g has injected a sum of money into B S C equal to the whole E d u c a t i o n budget. Thats not bad. . . I shudder to th ink what h e ' l l do next year . "

M r Ian M a c G r e g o r complemented the h igh qua l i ty of teaching at the R S M and said that he appreciated the honour of be ing asked to speak by the M i n a n d M e t Society.

M r M a c G r e g o r began by ou t l in ing the history of the B S C . H e under l ined the inefficiency of corporat ion by c o m p a r i n g how m a n y people are employed to produce the a n n u a l output of 12-14m tons of steel in the U K . W i t h the same output of plants in the U S A a n d J a p a n .

122,000 are on the B S C payro l l , 38,000 people are employed in a comparab le U S establishment and only 12,000 are needed in J a p a n . Besides the inefficient use of labour, M r M a c G r e g o r out l ined the other weaknesses that led to B S C losses, he emphasised that the cost of energy was greater than those of its competitors because plants were closed at weekends r e q u i r i n g a heating up per iod at the start of the week. " C o n t i n u o u s w o r k i n g is essential ."

" I n future B S C needs to become c o m p e t i t i v e . It is o f p r i m e importance to get costs d o w n to the other competitors levels by vigorous m a r k e t i n g a n d reduc ing the inefficient use of labour. L o o k i n g further into the 80s; some experts predict a scarcity in steel c o i n c i d i n g w i t h a growth in the economy and the level of p r o d u c t i v i t y , " he said.

T h e L o r d Flowers commented that B S C ' s problems were immense but the prospects were encouraging.

S i r Derek E z r a proposed a vote of thanks to Ian M a c G r e g o r : " W e a l l have a vested interest in B S C and it w i l l undoubtedly be a future success".

For Blue Chip job opportunities,

Development is the keynote at National Semiconductor in Greenock. Product development, plant development and, most importantly, personal development.

Growth in personnel, product range and production facilities is already taking place at National — a process that, by 1984, will result in a trebling of the workforce to over 2,000 and a four times increase in the

W e n e e d : —

size of our fabrication areas. Planned, sustained growth for the future. Your future.

To maintain this growth we need graduates from a wide range of disciplines. Electronic Engineering, Physics, Chemistry and Metallurgy. We also need commitment, dedication, enthusiasm and more than a dash of "pioneering" spirit.

Snee's Titbits Beer Prices Stay Down!! Last Thursday the Refectory Committee decided not to implement any Bar price rises, despite the fact that trade is less than at the same time last year. This is part of the overall decline in the brewing industry as people can't afford to drink as much as they used to, and our bars are suffering along with outside pubs.

However Bar Committee unanimously felt that price increases would only serve to drive custom away to local pubs, or altogether, and therefore not increase our total trade. Brewers increases have already taken place this term, and the budget is likely to bring more but these apply to us and local pubs alike — we felt it most important not to add any price rises of our own which would narrow the price gap between us and local pubs.

With the aid of a survey of local pub prices (carried out by Marshalls on the Field Cup!) , John a n d I p e r s u a d e d D r S c h r o t e r , R e f e c t o r y Committee Chairman, N O T to propose a 2p per pint price rise to the Committee, which I think shows what can be achieved by working together. However we must not get complacent, and the only way to keep our prices down is to use our College Bars. At present outside pubs are 7-15p per pint more expensive, and the more people who use our bars, the less likely that this gap will narrow.

T h e B a r C o m m i t t e e is a lways w i l l i n g to consider suggestions for improvement, so if you have any bright ideas, come and tell me about them, or have a chat to one of our Committee members responsible for monitoring the bars, namely Rich Archer (in the Union Bar) and Roy Francis (Southside). Rape Alarm Prices Down! I have found an alternative supplier for personal rape alarms and am expecting a delivery soon. They will be available from the Union Office for £2.50.

Free Prescriptions A S T H E L A S T meeting of the Health Services User's Committee Dr Haines pointed out that students can obtain their prescriptions free of charge . This is w o r k e d out on the basis of whether the individual has less than £20 per week to live on, having paid rent for that week. Should you fall into the category please pop along to the Health Centre and gather up the relevant form. I have a few here in the office and I will try to get some more as soon as possible. If you need presc r ip t i ons on at regular intervals season tickets can be purchased. These cost £5.50 for four months or £15 a year. This is well worth it considering that each prescription now costs £1.

Please remember to vote on Monday and Tuesday and don't forget about the U G M on Thursday, March 12 at 1:00pm in the Great Hall.

Though secrecy is prevalent between the companies and the outside world (and even between actors in the same show, it would appear ) it has been a s c e r t a i n e d that the competing groups are:

The Basingstoke Cultural Awareness Evening Class Players, who have chosen an unknown Russian masterpiece by a chum of Checkov (a checkhov-mate one assumes);

Coe and Co. , manufacturers of railway bogies in Watford, are sending their Works ' Theatre Group, are to present a play in their tradition of sophisticated thrillers. This item is believed to be so sophisticated that the possibility that the butler didn't do it cannot be ruled out!;

The little-known H D Lawrence provides the story of North Country mining poverty portrayed by the Wittering Dramatic and Model Aircraft Club;

Finally in the final comes the Wapping Little Theatre whose production is thought to reinforce their campaign to prove that Shakespeare wrote Bacon.

Snooker A L A S , the B team didn't play last week and as a result there was a distinct lack of excitement and thril ls .

However the A team and C team played and they tried hard to make up for the B team's absence. T h e A team travelled to Bedford Co l l ege and played under trying condit ions . T h e bar was miles away, the table was so dirty that they cou ld have grown potatoes on it. The A team still gave a good account of themselves by winning 4-1. The C team won against L S E A team by 3 frames to 2. This was rather a poor result for us and the C team are gradually but surely s l ipp ing d o w n the league.

Football Seconds IC made heavy weather of d ispos ing of U C Thirds a n d it was certainly doubtful as to whether a 4-0 scorel ine was a true reflection on the game. After taking an early two goal lead IC relaxed and al lowed U C to build attacks, any of w h i c h cou ld easily have led to a goal . IC's first goal came when Wigg ins fired his shot from the edge of the box into the corner of the net. A couple of minutes later, one of a string of corners was cleared only to be pumped back towards Lak in who beat the offside trap and then the keeper to give IC a two nil lead.

With about twenty minutes to go, IC started to produce the football that has put them near the top of the league. Hart land cont inued his impressive s cor ing record for the seconds when he beat the advanc ing keeper with a fine shot and the game was finally made safe when A r m s t r o n g took advantage of confusion in the U C defence, with a shot from inside the box.

T E A M : Williams, Dunhill, Beer, Armstrong, Griffiths, Lakin, Lay, Wiggins, Hartland, Veenman, Saunders

Football Sixths T H E S ix ths travelled south to C o b h a m on Saturday for what was, on paper, their most difficult match of the season.

The Sixths started confidently, within one m i n u t e C h a m b e r l a i n h a d w o n a c o r n e r , fo l lowing w h i c h Roche received the ball in the area a n d smashed it in . Inspired by Flynn w h o made an impressive debut the Sixths

b e g a n to p lay s o m e g o o d f o o t b a l l . T h e second goal was not long in coming , Martin 's through ball found Haber l in unmarked in the penalty area, who crashed the ball into the net. Roche scored the sixths third goal when he latched on to Tinkler 's pass and f l icked the b a l l t a n t a l i s i n g l y in to the net. W i t h the d e f e n c e ; H i g h a m , B r a d l e y , H a b e r l i n , Garts ide , and Flynn more than equal to the St Thomas ' attack IC were able to cont inue p r e s s i n g f o r w a r d . T h e o n e c h a n c e S t Thomas ' had in the first half was ably saved by Hampton .

The second half was more even. St Thomas ' relied heavily on two fast forwards and long drop kicks from their goalkeeper but these tactics proved ineffective against the Sixths defence. St Thomas ' did score early in the second half when a free kick sk immed off Haberl in 's head and skidded past the luckless H a m p t o n A f t e r t h i s s e t b a c k the S i x t h s reclaimed their hold on the game and Martin and C o u s s e n s both narrowly failed to increase the Sixths lead. St Thomas ' showed they weren't go ing to give in easily when they hit the post but minutes later Chamber la in ' s shot just missed and Tinkler watched his shot fly just wide. At the end of the game the Sixths had won three-one and put themselves in a very good position to win the league.

T E A M : Hampton, Higham, Bradley, Haberlin, Flynn, Tinkler, Martin, Gartside, Coussens, Roche, Chamberlain, Caseau.

Sailing T H E team was in Southampton on Saturday and was crushingly defeated by a very strong opposit ion. To make matters worse, S o u t h ­ampton who would probably beat IC at the " H a r p " , were sai l ing their own boats (G.P. 14's) on Southampton Waters.

However it was not a completely wasted day. O n c e the team had lost its league points, the sai l ing condit ions being nothing short of excellent, numerous "friendlies" were sai led. This gave the IC team the opportunity to get a measure of the boats (for next year?).

T E A M : Allport, Chadwick, Mills, Murray, Redman, Younghusband.

Hockey Seconds A very successful afternoon for the S e c o n d XI was marred only by the reluctance of certain p l a y e r s to s c o r e h a t - t r i c k s ! D u e to t h e a b s e n c e of c a p t a i n a n d X - r a y s p e c i a l i s t M a s o m , G r a y e l e c t e d to p l a y h i m s e l f at sweeper With this thought in mind, the IC forwards started in search of a few quick goals. Despite intense early pressure and near m i s s e s by C o r n w e l l a n d S t r o o m e r Birkbeck held out and it began to look as if Gray might get a touch of the ball ! Finally Cornwe l l rounded the keeper and s lammed the ball home to open the scor ing. Short ly afterwards C h e w scored the second from a short corner, the ball taking almost as many deflections as Pete Hughes has had green cards!

The end of the first half saw some excellent hockey from IC with f lowing moves down both sides of the pitch. However, half-time was taken with the score still 2-0. It didn't stay that way for long; G a r m s , obviously inspired by the half-time talk, took eighteen seconds to score the first of his two goals. These were split by a penalty, just about converted by C h e w ! Then the forward line was thrown into total confusion by the sight of full -back Mike Clift gleefully charging down the pitch in a way that gave a totally new meaning to the term "dummy run" ! After we had recovered, there was just time for Dave Cornwel l to make the final score 6-0 with a well taken goal .

T E A M : Jones, Gray, Clift, Pound, Rao, Stroomer, Chew, Garms, Afilaka, Cornwell, Mitchell, Shaw (Umpire).

Football Fourths A F T E R a reshuffle of the side the fourths arrived at Ditchley with eleven players, three who were making their first appearance for the Fourths.

IC were on top from the start and soon took the lead after a good run from Buck ley who gave a good pass to Do lan who scored from a narrow angle. Five minutes later IC went two nil up after an excellent dive from Hart land w i t h B u c k l e y s c o r i n g f r o m the r e s u l t i n g penalty. IC went c lose several more times in the first half Griff iths particularly un lucky not to score with a c lose range header but at half time the score was 2-0.

Q M C scored a shock goal early in the second half a long range shot just beating Veats in goal . S o o n after Mi lner was unlucky to give away a penalty. Fortunately the over enthusiastic Q M C penalty taker placed this well over the bar. IC got their third goal after Davies chased a through bal l from Saunders and scored with a well p laced shot. Q M C quickly pul led back another goal while the IC defence wasn't l ooking , before M a d d y placed a good shot to put IC 4-2 up. Q M C were again al lowed back into the game when they were awarded a penalty after a firm chal lenge from C h o w n . Veats d id well to reach tne penalty but couldn't quite stop it! IC finished of the game with Hart land finally getting a goal in.

T E A M : Veats, Milner, Maddy, Griffiths, Chown, Abedajo, Buckley, Dolan, Davies, Hartiund, Saunders.

PS: Thanks to all those non-regular fourths who played for us.

Football Seconds IN T H I S C R U C I A L last match of the season, the seconds got off to a fine start, playing some devastating football which had Q M C ' s d e f e n c e in t e r r i b l e t r o u b l e . S a u n d e r s ' impressive dive persuaded the referee to award a penalty w h i c h was converted by Beer, hitting his shot f irmly into the corner of the net for a 1-0 lead. The second quickly fol lowed when Saunders completed a good move from the right with a shot from close range. A s usual , IC then relaxed a little and e n a b l e d Q M C to w o r k s o m e d a n g e r o u s moves, a l though Lay hit a marvellous cur l ing shot into the top right hand corner to make it 3-0. Q M C struck back however to make it 3-1 and at half-t ime, the game was certainly not safe. Within the first minute of the second half though, Hart land had made it 4-1 and IC's fifth from Veenman fol lowed soon after. A good , if somewhat patchy performance, was capped when Hartland turned elegantly on the edge of the box and fired his shot inside the near post to make the final score 6-1.

M y thanks to all those who have played for the seconds during the season and to those, whose hard work in organis ing the Footbal l C l u b , has made everything possible.

Two major factors in the teams success w e r e the C l u b ' s s t r e n g t h in d e p t h w h i c h enabled the S e c o n d s to field a very strong side on every occas ion , and the tremendous spirit that made p laying in the team such an enjoyable occupat ion .

What's On

Brunt of the Runt

Dave M u s k e r has quit in his bid for President of I C U . H e seems to share similar views to myself o n a number of Union affairs, yet he offered no solutions and now he has backed down. H e didn't even have the courtesy to inform me of his stand down so his manifesto could be deleted. O r perhaps all he ever intended was to air his views in public on a Presidential platform without putting in the a m o u n t of w o r k n o r m a l l y r e q u i r e d of a Presidential candidate.

I am glad he has stood down, his k ind of p u r i l e r a m b l i n g w i t h o u t the b a c k u p of a determined character to see his complaints of the U n i o n corrected, deserves only contempt.

mnmmm

F r o m the present state of the music store, it is clear that there isn't enough room there for the choir to store all the equipment they would like to. Th is was brought home to them when they needed a grand piano for a rehearsal, but the only one available was at the back of the store, wedged in behind all kinds of other accoutre­ments (see diagram).

A s if this wasn't enough of a problem, there are two things complicating their predicament even further.

First ly , there's no room to rotate any of the objects without damaging them, so the choir will have to get the piano out by sliding things backwards and forwards without turning them round .

A n d secondly, there's an officious security regulation which prohibits them from moving anything out of the store (i.e. off the shaded area) unless they are going to use it, and the only thing they need to use is the grand piano.

The choir are now trying to work out how to get that grand piano out of the store in the fewest possible moves. A n y offers of help? (Each move allows you to shift any one object.)

Solutions, comments, criticisms to me c/o FELIX Office by Wednesday, 1:00pm. £5 and two tickets to the choir concert will go to the solution which uses fewest moves.

Bir Zeit Controversy I have received a number of letters (all but

one past the copy deadline) on the U N Society article last week entitled "Study in the Shadow of the G u n " .

Some of the correspondents seem to take the line that F E L I X is in support of the article. I should like to remind you that A L L clubs and society articles express O N L Y their own views. I do not agree with all articles printed in F E L I X submitted in such a manner. If I only published what I agreed with, that would be censorship.

I realise the article was lengthy, but this should not be taken as support for it by F E L I X — t h e writer felt he could not express himself in less words.

I have no opinions myself on the article that I wish to express in the pages of F E L I X , except that I would strongly defend their right to express their own views.

Copy Deadline People seem to be forgetting that the

F E L I X copy deadline for A L L copy is 5:30pm Monday . W i t h less people working on F E L I X now due to exams this deadline will have to be enforced to a greater extent. If you hand in articles late then I'm afraid that it's just tough titty. V.GM.s

The hustings U G M yesterday was fun (report next week). Don 't forget the results U G M this Thursday — see who you've been fool enough to elect into office this year.

Last week's solution

Clarinet piece by Brahms String Quartet by Beethoven

Oboe & piano piece by S c h u m a n n Piano Tr io by Saint Saer.s

H o r n piece by M o z a r t This very easy puzzle attracted a mixture of

rapturous approval and derogatory disgust, which is what I've come to expect when I set an easy puzzle. The winner is T i m Wright, Maths 2, who can collect his cheque on Monday afternoon.

Al though the puzzle was easy, I had still gone to a lot of trouble to make it musically accurate. Pity so few people noticed.
