President to eat

in Southside! Peter Teague, IC Union President, will force himself to eat in the Southside refectory

at least once a week from now on. He is taking this drastic step in order that he can monitor the quality of food being served their. This came out at the UGM yesterday when he was proposing the refectories motion printed in Monday's issue of F E L I X .

A t long las t the R o y a l C o l l e g e of Sc i ence U n i o n has an of f ice i t c an c a l l i ts own . U p un t i l now the R C S U Off ice was i n the room above South -s ide Shop be long ing to the Summer Accommodat i on Se rv i ce . T h i s meant that the of f ice had to be evacuated of a l l t races of R C S every summer t e r m .

But now, w i t h the opening of the New H u x l e y B u i l d i n g , th ings have changed for the bet ter . The new, purpose-bui l t o f f ice , s i tua ted at the west end of the Sher f i e ld w a l k w a y , compr ises a s m a l l execut i ve off ice for admin i s t ra t i v e purposes and a larger meet ing room w h i c h has been equipped w i t h p l u s h , new c h a i r s . The one major drawback of the new off ice was nea t l y summed up by V i c e P res iden t C h a l k y White : "There's no bloody windows" .

Large crowds attended this year's Freshers Fair which was held last Tuesday after­noon. This is tbe second year running that the Fair has been held in the Union Building — previously, the Fair was held in the JCR , Sherfield Building.

Over ninety clubs and societies were present at the Fair to try and convince the hordes to join their particular club or society. However, the advice given to the freshers at the Freshers Reception on Wednesday made Freshers cautious in parting with any monies 1

The bar staff worked extremely hard to provide liquid sustenance for the hundreds of people who come to the Fa i r ! Brendan, the Union Bar manager said that his staff, full and part-time could only be commended for their efforts and the unusually long hours they worked.

Many experienced Fair goers thought that tbis year's was quite successful and it certainly attracted more people than it has done in tbe past few years.

There were two amendments to the mot ion w h i c h was f i n a l l y passed by an overwhe lming ma jo r i t y . B o th amendments were to the s e c t i o n " I C union n o t e s " . The words after re fector ies i n pdint four of the s e c t i o n were de l e t ed and a seventh point a d d e d . T h i s noted that the government 's canteens i n Westminster were heav i l y s u b s i d i z e d .

It was brought out at the meeting that the re fec tor ies had made a to ta l l o ss of £44000 when the ca te r ing reserves had been taken into a c c o u n t . It has been dec ided to pay off t h i s debt over a period of three to four y ea r s .

The main theme of the speeches was par t i c ipa t ion ' and involvement in the C o l l e g e and Un i on acti\«ities. In ' h i s s p e e c h , the Rec tor impressed upon students the importance of "an active and involved Union" i n C o l l e g e l i fe and the need to give it "our utmost support" i n order to make it "truly representative of the students of this College".

for 10 years and the Pres iden t d id not f ee l that th i s was good enough c ons i d e r i ng the ' advances that had been made in this f i e l d i n th is p e r i o d . What was required was an independent body to inves t i ga t e the C o l l e g e ' s ca t e r ing s y s t e m . T h i s body wou ld report i t s f ind ings to the Re fec tory Committee and th is report wou ld a l s o be pub l i shed i n F E L I X . It was qu i te c l ea r that many people agreed w i t h the motion a l though some of them appeared not to fu l l y understand its a i m s .

Reflections until October 21st

ARIES (22Mar—21Apr) : The main a c t i v i t i e s are centred around p a r t n e r s h i p , f o rma l i t i e s and publ i c r e l a t i o n s . About the 14th Jup i t e r is in oppos i t i on to the Sun and th is may cause ex t ravagance in money and/or e m o t i o n s . None the l e s s , its retrogate motion through A r i e s eases your problems and may bring back into your l i fe some of the persons and cond i t i ons w h i c h were fortunate for you last May and June .

TAURUS (21 A p r - 2 1 May ) : F rom the 5th unt i l the end of the

month your planet Venus t rans i t s your s o l a r house of s o c i a l l i f e ,

p leasures and love a f f a i r s . Y ou may f ind yourse l f a t t rac t ing some

members of the oppos i te s e x . E s p e c i a l l y about the 10th when the

Moon t r ines Venus they may f ind your magnet ism i r r e s i s t a b l e .

A n y h o w , the main theme is w o r k a n d th is may prove time consuming .

GEMINI II ( 2 2 M a y - 2 2 J u n ) : The Sun and your planet Mercury

are in your area o f s o c i a l l i f e , enterta inment , and love a f f a i r s .

These w i l l be the main a t t rac t i ons of the m o n t h . N e w f r iends a n d /

or a s s o c i a t e s w i l l be enter ing into your l i f e . Favourab l e a s p e c t s

around the 9th and 19th may cause you to f l our i sh in the s o c i a l

s c ene or you may get to meet some interes t ing people .

CANCER ( 23Jun—23Jul ) : Jup i t e r br ightens your area of s ta tus

and c a r e e r . Around the 9th , 14th and 19th good aspec t s from the

Moon ind ica te you may ga in prest ige or respect over o thers . Or

your work may become e a s i e r . New developments may occur in

your love l i f e . Venus w i l l make you more a t t rac t i ve to others

e s p e c i a l l y around 8th and 1 0th and you are l i k e l y to meet many

poss ib l e dates or make new f r i e n d s .

LEO ( 2 4 J u l - 2 3 A u g ) : The Sun and Mercury are both in your

area of i n t e l l e c tua l a c t i v i t i e s , communicat ion (meet ings, c o n ­

ferences , m a i l , phone), short journeys , r e la t i ves and ne i ghbours .

These w i l l play an important role un t i l the 24 th . Around the 9th

their cOTifOrt^tion i nd i ca t e s a h i gh l y fortunate day in these a r e a s .

The 13th may prove d i f f i cu l t if you fo l l ow i m p u l s e s . N o n e t h e l e s s ,

Venus br ings some s ecur i t y into f i nanc i a l a f f a i r s .

VIRGO (24Aug—23Sep) : V enus t rans i t s your own s i gn ind i ca t ing harmonious r e l a t i o ns h i p s and poss ib l e f i n a n c i a l g a i n s . P a r t i c u l a r l y , the 10th and 21st when the Moon t r ines i t , are fortunate d a y s . R o m a n t i c a l l y , it looks very promis ing and you may f ind yourse l f making new fr iends e s p e c i a l l y from the opposi te s e x . F rom the 17th Mars may ac t i v a t e partnerships and f r i endsh ips or further them.

LIBRA ( 2 4 S e p - 2 3 0 c t ) : Jup i t e r is in your house of partnerships, fo rmal i t i es and publ i c r e la t i ons , . These w i l l a lmost f low on the 9th and 19th due to good a s p e c t s . The 13th may prove d i f f i cu l t in these a r e a s . Owing to Saturn square Uranus you may f ind your hopes and w i s h e s being l imited and feel rather introverted on the 12th and 2 0 t h .

SCORPIO ( 2 4 0 c t - 2 2 N o v ) : Whi le Venus enhances your hopes , w i s h e s a n d brings harmonious r e l a t i onsh ips w i th f r i ends par t i cu la r l y on the 10th and 21s t , Jup i t e r protects your health and w o r k . A f ter the 17th Mars a c t i v a t e s interest in trave l or academic pu r su i t s . Uranus may inject some c r ea t i v e impulses and you may be tempted to mix b u s i n e s s w i th p l e a s u r e .

SAGITTARIUS ( 2 3 N o v - 2 2 D e c ) : Y o u may f ind yourse l f meeting new and interest ing people through s o c i a l gather ings and par t i e s . Mercury and the Sun in your s o c i a l house ind icate a month fu l l of S o c i a l a c t i v i t y , a s s o c i a t i o n s , inv i ta t i ons and involvement w i th g roups . It 's most l i k e l y a romance (or two) w i l l spr ing from these a c t i v i t i e s perhaps around the 9th or 19th .

CAPRICORN ( 2 3 D e c - 2 0 J a n ) : Your main interest is hav ing a good start at w o r k . Y o u may find yourse l f invo lved w i th super i o rs in re la t ion to career c o n s i d e r a t i o n s . If not, it may be that you are concerned about your future c a r e e r . Venus brings harmony into your work, s o c i a l and love l i f e . These w i l l thr ive throughout the month part icu lar ly on the 1 0th and 21 s t .

AQUARIUS ( 2 1 J a n - 1 9 F e b ) : Owing to Uranus square Saturn

CFOOD GUIDE Many of you will, by now, have had occassion to sample some

of the delights of Mr Mooney's kitchens. This being the case,

several points may have struck you regarding the quality of food,

service and hygiene ot the refectories. We do not propose to go

into these matters here .

For those of you who are par t i cu la r about the food you eat , we have comp i l ed a l i s t of res taurants in th i s guide where one can obta in meals at reasonab le p r i c es .

The l i s t has been roughly d i v i d ed into three s e c t i o n s acco rd ing to p r i c e . The f i r s t c o n s i s t s of those restaurants wh i ch serve s i m i l a r meals to those in C o l l e g e r e f ec to r i es , but of a much better q u a l i t y . In the s e c o n d , restaurants w h i c h offer a s l i g h t l y w ide r range of

c h o i c e in d i s h e s and of a higher pr ice are l i s t ed . The s e are the sor t of p laces wor th v i s i t i n g a t weekends w i t h f r i ends .

Cheapies These purveyors of fine food are on the whole, for the

main course, slightly dearer (but only be a few pence —

don't forget they have waitress service) than Mooney's

refectories. They offer a wide selection of dishes (main

course 3Op — 50p). However, their deserts (which are not

obligatory, but nevertheless recommended) are rather more

expensive (15p — 20p) than those in Southside.

These establishments are to be regarded as Mooney's

rivals — their prices reflect the high turnover of satisfied

customers and hence their inexpensiveness with no loss to

service .

Should you live near, in or are visiting Kangaroo Valley

(Earls Court to Barry McKenzie) then one of " P o t " restaurants

is where you are most likely to eat. The recommended one

is the 'Hot Pot' in Kenway Road'. Here you can obtain

delicious Mousaka for 50p or succulent Roast Chicken for

45p and even good Spag. B o l . (Spaghetti Bolognese to the

uninitiated) for 35p . If this den of iniquity doesn't grab you,

then try the 'Chelsea Kitchen' on Kings Road or the 'Stockpot'

in Basil Street. The menues in these places are changed

daily.

Hamburger Joints For the lovers of the American way of life, it is possible

to savour the American craving for plastic food in central

London. There are a large number of establishments, varying

widely in appeal, which cater for this'. You can also be

served by 'Butch Boys' , 'Leggy Beauties' or even have

decent food at Strikes, GAS and GAD respectively'.

Albert's Plum offers loud music, large portions, titillating

waitresses and its proximity to Col lege. There is also a

disco in the evenings which is worth a visit if only to

experience a Harvey Wall banger.

' On the other hand, if its 6.00am. and you're tired, hungry

and have lots of loose change, then GAS is the place for

you. Here, the waitresses, showing practically all that

nature gave them, are the main attraction'.The food however,

does not quite match up to expectations.

If however, what you require is good food at reasonable

prices, there is only one disaster area to go to — GAD .

Everything on the menu is well cooked and the range

stretches past hamburgers. One can quench one's thirst

with the iced water provided or indulge in a fruit-flavoured

milkshake (at 35p the best to be had anywhere in town). At

71p a plain hamburger,and chinsserved with lots of chilli

sauce is very good value indeed'. Their barbecued spare

ribs (£1 50) is a memorable feast which can be topped — off

with a portion of chocolate fudge cake (40p)'.

Under £2 We move up a little this time and consequently explore

a wide variety of international dishes. In the odd occasions

when a few of you want something different (not women! —

or men!?!), it is worth trying one of the restaurants in this

group'. You can explore several varieties of curries in the

'Curry Palace' in Gloucester Road. Gastronomes may start

with a Kebab served with a tossed salad'.

If you want to really 'blow your mind', order an extra hot

and chilli spiced curry'. If you want to blow other peoples'

minds, an onion b ha gee will do the trick admirably'. In this

category, the Hussain' in Thurloe Place is heartily

recommended.

The 'Bristro Vino' serves reasonably cheap Italian meals

if that's your fancy. Their Avocado Vinigrette is unlikely to

A mighty force of l e v i t y , w i t , gent lemanly a gg r e s s i on and c i v i l i s e d warfare has sprung from A l b i o n ' s L i o n s in the An t i podean regions of the B r i t i s h E m p i r e , at the express command of that arch-enemy of g rav i t y , da rkness and despondancy . The Wizard of The A n t i p o d e s . T h i s force of ' L i g h t and Migh t ' is known to a l l the wor ld as A l f ' s

Imperial A r m y , a name w h i c h a l ready s t r i k e s terror into the dark r e c e s s es of the s e l f -hat ing , corrupt ing and u n -B r l t i s h I n f l u e n c e s o f s e r i o u s n e s s . T h e A r m y ' s patron and Warlord Is non-other than H i s L e v i t y , The Wizard H i m s e l f .

So far un i t s of A l f ' s A rmy have scourged and c l e a n s e d the campuses of the U n i v e r s i t y of Melbourne and the U n i v e r s i t y of Canterbury (for the Ignorant, in C h r l s t c h u r c h New Z e a l a n d ) , e l im ina t ing and thoroughly c rush ing the R e p u b l i c a n rabble in fes t ing those ha l l owed h a l l s . F rom these bases repeated p i tched bat t les have been fought aga ins t the forces of g rav i ty and deprav i t y . La t robe Un i v e r s i t y has been smashed , the hairy barbarians of the far South of Otago are routed and converted to the true f a i t h . Preparat ions for the Invas ion of the North Island of New Zea l and are now underway, w i th plans projected for the re - invas i on of A u s t r a l i a . Tremendous v i c t o r i e s have been won but now a darker and more forb idding t a s k , one w h i c h holds great promise for the

' L e v i t y Lov ing P eop l e ' s of the Wor ld" , s tands before u s . I refer to the overthrow of the Tyranny of Despa i r and Grav i t y w i t h i n the B r i t i s h Is les t h e m s e l v e s .

For th i s sacred t a sk two h igh ly tra ined henchmen of The Wizard are even now, plott ing w i t h i n these I s l ands . They are Genera l D i r e c t i o n , G l o r i ous Commander A l f ' s Imperial A r m y , Pedes D i v i s i o n , a l ready known to you by the a l i a s of Derek B a n k s , pos ing as ex -s tudent , s c i e n t i s t , part-time teacher , part-time drop-out (but .in fact a ded i ca t ed drop- in ) , so rce re r ' s appren t i c e and Lev na t i ona l Genera l i s t . The

other r e cen t l y ar r i ved minion of An t i podean necromancy Is nonother than C o l o n e l Ca t f o rd , g l o r i ous Commander of A l f ' s I m p e r i a l A r m y , E a s t e r n An t i podes D i v i s i o n and known to h is " f r i e n d s " as Tony Ca t f o rd , somet ime s a l e s m a n , labourer, c ook , d i s h w a s h e r , mountaineer and scoutmaste r , he poses a s a bung l ing imcompetant daydreamer w h i l s t hatch ing out the most b r i l l i a n t schemes e v e r d e v l s e d t odes t r oy The -Wor ld -As -We-Know- l t .

These two ha l f -w i t s have now combined to throw the i r who le w i t Into Imperial C o l l e g e and e s t a b l i s h a unit of A l f ' s Imperial A r m y , c l e a n s e the campus , undermine Londo'n from w i t h i n , and overthrow the R e p u b l i c a n - usurpers of Her Ma jes ty ' s Government . A t the momentwhenthe B r i t i s h peop les ' are most c onvu l s ed w i th laughter and mir th , they p lan to launch a war aga ins t the Rebe l Amer i can C o l o n i s t s , Insta l l R i cha rd N i x o n as the new Governor -Genera l of the Amer i c an C o l o n i e s , Sp ike M l l l i g a n as the Governor of the South Is land of New Z e a l a n d and then to r ebu i ld the B r i t i s h Empi re and more, armed w i th p l a s t i c s w o r d s , f l our ,water and Imaginat ion. The i r so l e e x c u s e Is that every other opt ion Is pos i t i v e l y b o r i n g .

A l l th i s is a mere s ide show compared w i t h The Wizard and h is plans for h i s F i r s t Adven t Upon Tower H i l l . The f i rs t attempt to appear there out of nothing w i l l be made in the coming months!

Beware the Peop l e ' s R e p u b l i c of Oxford Street and their l a ckeys and running dogs ! Confound their politics.

AND NOW At £x a head we introduce the restaurants to visit when

money (not Mooney, silly) is no object. Before you go along

with your intended, unintended, could be or just picked-up,

book in advance. This bascially means popping along a few

evenings beforehand and inspecting the atmosphere, decor

and of course the menu. If this seems satisfactory, you

place a booking and tell your partner anything you like

afterwards.

Tradition and intimacy are the easily recognisable

features of these restaurants, so choose according to the

gentleman's and er-lady's preference.

Energy

Help to SLICE costs by using energy

wisely in the College .In 1975 energy

costs, mainly for heating and electricity,

are estimated tm increase by about 50%

over last year. With no increase in the

Government grant to the College, this

means that YOU will have to make do with less - facilities

e g. laboratory materials, lecture notes, UNION grant, in

order to pay the increased energy bills.

You can help by:

•Closing all external doors and windows

•Switching off all unnecessary lights

•Using minimum hot water

•Thinking twice before switching on power con­

suming equipment - even if you are doing a

routine experiment.

•Remembering to switch off as soon as you have

finished.

Any suggestions for SLICING energy costs should be

IC W A T E R POLO T O U R 75 By Andy Smith

In the ear ly hours of Sa turday , June 14th (we l l , about 10 .30am) , IC Water P o l o C l u b s a i d goodbye to the easy li fe and once aga in went Wes t , (ie we went I as t year as w e l l ) . The advance party compr ised Pau l H i n d l e , C l i f f Spooner, J i m W i l l i a m s , K o s t a R i b a r , Mark Tay l o r and Andy Smith w h i l e the seventh member Snif fy was r e c rukea on the way down .

T r W e was to be no resp i te and just an hour after r each ing Lymington we were in the water and p lay ing the f i rs t ma tch . T h i s was In the open a i r sea water pool on the front and aga ins t an e n t h u s i a s t i c Lymington s i d e . However , w i th s t e r l i n g work from J i m in dele nee and goa ls from A n d y (4), Kosta(2) and C l i f f ( 2 ) we managed to sc rape an 8—6 w i n . T h i s was desp i t e the referee being comple te ly unimpressed by B l u e b o t t l e ' s d i v es of Rodney Marsh v in tage .

We then car r i ed on to take up res idence in our f i r s t c l a s s accommodat ion — two caravans at Osmington M i l l s near Weymouth. E x c e l l e n t food was supp l i ed by our ca t e r ing manager Spooner (if you were in the right caravan) a l though the curry nearly proved too much f a J i m . A n y further requirements were amply catered f a at the nearby Smugglers Inn.

The next match was aga ins t Bournemouth on Tuesday even ing (and indoors) by wh i ch time Pau l H ind le ,and Kos ta had returned, as p lanned , to London to be rep laced by R a y L e w i s , Ian B a l e s and P a u l F r i e z e . We got off to a bad start w i th the defence looking very j i t tery , but C l i f f was determined to enjoy h imse l f w h i c h s e ve ra l of the oppos i t i on found out to their c o s t ! So a l though I thought we 'd lost (we l l , there were a lot of goa ls to add up),

it turned out we 'd won 11-10 — goa ls coming from C l i f f , P a u l , Rory and A n d y . Much needed refreshments were then supp l i ed In the loca l f ire s ta t i on where the Bournemouth secre tary was a c t u a l l y on d u t y .

The third match was the one we were a l l l ook ing forward to , e s p e c i a l l y those of us who 'd been the year b e f a e . The match was in the r iver at B r i d p a t in the ear ly evening on Thursday . However our two biggest wo r r i e s , the temperature of the water and the sewage had improved from the last o c c a s s i o n , s o there were' no ser ious c a s u a l t i e s — though Mark and P a u l might d isagree as they were s t i l l sh i ve r hg after s e v e ra l w h i s k i e s . Ian B a l e s d id a grand job p lay ing in g oa l , a pos i t i on where you c an ' t sw im around to keep wa rm. A s f a the match i t se l f , we won that 7 - 3 In front of an apprec i a t i v e crowd of w e l l over 3 0 peop le .

The f i na l match was a return game aga ins t Lymington on our way home. T h i s turned out to be an easy match as they were wi thout the s e r v i c e s of two of the-ir better p l aye r s , and we s t r o l l ed in f a a 6 - 2 v i c t o ry . U n f a t u n a t e l y we then agreed to play an extra quarter and my sunburn b l i s t e r s f i n a l l y submitted to ex t e rna l pressure and burst — the F r i day had been a g lo r ious day and had been taken fu l l advantage of on

Weymouth beach,

So thanks must go to C l i f f and J i m f a supp l y ing the t r a n s p a t , and P a u l H ind l e and Mark f a a g a n i s i n g the raf f le wh i ch supp l i ed the li fe g i v i ng funds.

P o l o C l u b meets every Monday and F r i day at the pool at 7pm, to wh i ch a l l are we l c ome . So don't miss th is fine opportunity to increase the q u a l i t y of your e x i s t ence . A ho l iday (sorry I mean, tour) in the West

F i n a l l y , the Swimming and Country could be yours !

T O G R E A T H E I G H T S

By Nigel Leak

The G l i d i n g C l u b ' s h ighly s u c c e s s f u l year has progressed to even greater heights w i th the achievement of four ' G o l d ' height f l i ghts dur ing the last two weeks in September .

A group of members took the C l u b ' s Dar t , s k y l a r k and syrid icate Dart up to A b o y n e , in the h igh lands of Sco t l and in s ea rch of the lee waves shed by the mountain ranges in wes t e r l y w i n d s .

A l t h o u g h the weather was not a l w a y s k ind , much. f l y ing was .done and four members, two of them s tuden t s , a ch i e ved height ga ins

qua l i f y ing for half of the Go ld badge of the Fede ra t i on Aeronat ique In t e rna t i ona l . T o

ach i eve t h i s , the pi lot had to ga in in e x c e s s of 3000m (9841 feet) In height after launch .The greatest ga in ach i e ved was when Tony P a t e r (Maths III) managed to get the c l u b s Dart up to a height of 15 ,300 feet above sea l eve l after an i n i t i a l launch of 3000 f e e t . A l s o qua l i f y ing was N i g e l L e a k (Aero III) who managed 12 ,900 feet hi the c lub S k y l a r k . The d isappointment of the t r i p was when Mike L i n c h (Mech E n g III) had to terminate h is c l i m b only a coup l e of hundred feet from his goal to d ive 8000 feet

to get through a hole in the c l oud s o as not to loose s ight Of the q u i c k l y d i sappear ing ground.

T h i s soft of f l y ing is very •rewarding and for somebody who hasn ' t done i t , hard to imagine. A l l I can say is that to me, s i t t i n g in my c o c k p i t , over two mi l es up, looking down on near ly 2000 square mi les of S c o t l a nd , it was truely incred ib le .

F i n a l l y I wou ld l ike to thank our ex-student members for organ is ing the exped i t i on , supe rv i s ing our f l y ing and for towing two of the g l i de rs on the 1200 mi les round t r i p .

Student Welfare by Don Adlington, Student Counsellor

T h i s s e s s i o n , J a q u i Gerrard (Ac t ing Union Welfare Off icer) and mysel f a n d , we hope, some other, interested s tudents — are s tar t ing a new se r v i c e to s tudents in the Student Welfare room on the top f loor of the Un ion B u i l d i n g . The room wi II be staf fed — by s tudents the other three d a y s , from 12.30pm to 1.30pm every weekday of T e r m . We w i l l have a supp l y of use fu l leaf lets on a var ie ty of sub jec ts and these c an be taken away freely f a your own u s e .

But the essence of the Student Welfare Cent re is that there w i l l be someone there w i th whom you can d i s c u s s persona l l y any d i f f i c u l t i e s you may have , and who. may have a c c e s s to i n f a m a t i o n , adv i so ry s e r v i c e s and other sources of he Ip wh i ch are not so obv i ous l y a v a i l a b l e on demand. There is a lot of ev idence that many s tudents exper i ence anx i e t y re lat ing to e s s e n t i a l l y p r a c t i c a l mat t e r s . F a example , q u a s i -legal d i f f i c u l t i e s w i t h land l a d s in respect of the terms of a

tenancy agreement are very common, and a few minutes ta lk may make it c l ea r whether or not you need to see a S o l i c i t a . S i m i l a r l y con tac t s w i th the P o l i c e a w i th the Cour ts can be very d i s tu rb ing ( e spec i a l l y so f a overseas students ) and the Student "Welfare Cent re w i l l try to put th ings into context f a y ou ,and , if n e cessa ry , put you in touch w i t h a S o l i c i t a .Accommcdat jon and f i nanc i a l problems are probably foremost among the p rac t i ca l d i f f i c u l t i e s a f f ec t ing

students now. In the Student Welfare Centre we w i l l not have l i s t s of accommodat ion a bundles of f ive-pound n o t e s . What we w i l l . h a v e is the t ime to l i s t en , and we may be ab l e to suggest poss ib l e l ines of approach wh i ch have not occurred to y o u .

Of course many th ings wh i ch upset us are nothing l ike so s t r a i g h t f a w a r d , and everybody-even the adequate ly housed and adequate ly f inanced - runs into more personal d i f f i c u l t i e s every now and a g a i n . It often does he lp to t a l k to a sympathet i c l istener at such t i m e s , and we might, of c ourse , find it perfect ly easy to t a l k to our t u t a a s u p e r v l s a , a to a f r i end . But aga in there Is good reason to th ink that some people cannot do th i s . If that is how you see yourse l f , and you would f ind it e a s i e r to ta lk to someone conf i f j ent ia l ly through a " h e l p i n g " agency in your own Un ion B u i l d i n g , just c a l l i n .

In t e rna t i ona l Soc ia l i s ts

w h o are we?

The Internat ional S o c i a l i s t s are the largest revo lut ionary

s o c i a l i s t o rgan isa t i on in B r i t a i n . A t Imperial C o l l e g e there is a

" w o r k p l a c e b r a n c h " w h i c h has the main perspect i ve of bu i l d ing

a s t rong s o c i a l i s t presence w i t h i n the trade unions on c a m p u s .

Current members of the branch are a l l a c t i v e members of the

C o l l e g e based trade unions N U P E and A S T M S and are committed

to f i ght ing for mi l i t ant p o l i c i e s on wages and c o n d i t i o n s , and for

ex tend ing democracy to a c h i e v e rank and f i l e c o n t r o l .

Students are encouraged to j o in or work w i th IS members, and in the past undergraduate members have committed them-s l e v e s to the main trade union w o r k . A n IS s o c i e t y was formed

last year , membership of wh i ch is open to IS student members, and a l s o to those supporters who read our week l y paper S o c i a l i s t Worker and Identify w i th IS p o l i t i c s . T o date the IS S o c . has concentrated on International Issues and played a leading part In last years campaign aga ins t the Na t i ona l F r on t ' s in t rus ion onto the campus . T h i s year, if su f f i c i en t s tudents are Interested, the s o c i e t y w i l l a l s o play a Vigorous part in Student Un ion po l i t i c s . The problems fac ing s tudents — cut backs in publ i c expend i ture , higher s ta f f ing r a t i o s , the c l o sure of C o l l e g e s of E d u c a t i o n e t c . — form just a part of the Government ' s a t tack on l i v i ng s t a n d a r d s . The fight aga ins t the cu ts at IC must be an integral part of the campaign w h i c h we are work ing to bu i l d among the rank and f i l e of the B r i t i s h Labour movement .

Overseas Students

The IS branch has forged

strong l inks w i th many of the

overseas s tudents at IC . The

However , in c a s e s where s tudents w i s h to make the i r involvement in formal , or even anonymous we recogn ise the s e r i o u s n e s s of the i r p o s i t i o n s .
