In a written statement, he asked for

221 other o f f e n c e s to be taken into

A R I E S ( 22Mar -21Apr ) : A r i a n s have no d i f f i cu l t y in f a l l i n g in love .More often they go for p h y s i c a l a t t r a c t i v e n e s s . They a l w a y s be l i eve i t ' s the rea l t h i n g ! The i r ardent , impatient and impu ls i v e nature can lead to fast and many af fa irs .Sw ing ing par t i e s , d i s c o s and entertainment p laces are usua l l y their s c ene . A love a f fa i r w i th an A r i a n cou ld be qui te adventurous and p a s s i o na t e ! !

T A U R U S (21Apr -21 May ) : Taureans are both pass i ona te and p r a c t i c a l . They are very care fu l on the f i rs t few dates and w i l l hardly d i s c l o s e any emotions unt i l the t ime Is r i gh t . Once in love they are often devoted and w i l l i n g to do just about any th ing (oh yes! ) to keep their loved one content .Ow ing to their po s s e s i v e nature they demand loya l ty .

GEMIN I (22May—21 J u n ) : They usua l l y enjoy v e r s a t i l i t y intheir love a f f a i r s . A n y t h i n g bor ing is o u t ! . The i r cha rm ing , l i v e l y and w i t t y nature a t t rac ts many members of the oppos i te sex . T h e y are hard ly shy and c a n have s e ve ra l romances running at the same t i m e . In fact they just can ' t he lp w inn ing h e a r t s . Remember Don J u a n was a Gemin i . A n d s o w a s lady C a s o n o v a .

C A N C E R (23Jun—23Jul ) ; Under their apparent ly hard exter ior they are r ea l l y shy and e m o t i o n a l . They hardly make the f i r s t move to start an a f f a i r , Instead they wa i t for y o u . B e c a u s e they are sub jec t to chang ing moods the a f fa i r may go through many p h a s e s . None the l e s s , they are s e n s i t i v e , romant ic though often lack p a s s i o n .

L E O ( 2 4 J u l - 2 3 A u g ) : Loves m a g e s t i c a l l y . Generous both w i th g i f ts and a f f e c t i o n . E a s i l y f l a t t e r ed . Has no r e s t r i c t i on about start ing an af fa i r anywhere , any t ime . P h y s i c a l a t t rac t i on Is very important to them. They d i s l i k e to be c r i t i c i z e d or ignored in any way by their l oved-one . They are pass ionate and p o s s e s i v e . A n d guess who was a L e o ? Napo l ean Bonaparte .

V I R G O (24Aug -23Sep ) ; The i r p r a c t i c a l , prudent and patient nature is re f l ec ted in the i r love l i f e . T h e y dorft wear their hearts on the i r s l e e v e s . If they f a l l in love , they i n i t i a l l y c o n c e a l the i r f ee l ings in c a s e of rebuf f . Sma l l g i f ts are h igh ly treasured and words of a f f ec t i on remembered. Rather than c h a s i n g nebulous dreams, they 'd look for a needle in a hay - s tack (and probably f ind it too!)

L I B R A ( 2 3 S e p - 2 3 0 c t ) : The i r a t t rac t i ve out look and harmon­

ious nature are more than enough to spark an a f fa i r . However ,

they 'd rather s tay f r iends for a time before any involvement .They ' re

often indecisive and need to we i gh the pros and cons of just

about every th ing . They are charmed by unusual people and l i ke to

have some interest in common.

S C O R P I O ( 2 4 0 c t - 2 2 N o v ) : T h i s is the most emot iona l and

pass ionate s i g n in l o v e . The i r magnetic persona l i t y and hypnot i c

eyes capture many hear ts . The i r love is penetrat ing and sensuous

provided i t ' s g enu ine . They are loyal to their partner. Owing to

their po s s e s i v e nature they can be jea lous and s u s p i c i o u s . James

Bond and Grace K e l l y are t y p i c a l S c o r p i o s .

S A G I T T A R I U S ( 2 3 N o v - 2 2 D e c ) : Sag i t ta r ians are u s u a l l y too independent to f a l l in love d e e p l y . They l ike to be on the move and enjoy a romance (or two) in the background as long as it doesn ' t t ie them. The i r a f f ec t ions are often e a s i l y captured but when the i n i t i a l heat c o o l s they loose in te res t . They are loved by many and tend to love many.

C A P R I C O R N ( 2 3 D e c - 2 0 J a n ) : The i r shy nature u s u a l l y makes them c a l c u l a t i n g in love a f f a i r s . They are h igh ly aware of the oppos i te s e x . Once in love they w i l l use any strategy to capture the loved o n e . They don't require a common interest but prefer a c on t r a s t . They get out of embarras ing s i tua t i ons by the i r i n con -grous sense of humour. They are the most loya l of a l l the s i g n s .

A Q U A R I U S (21 Jan—19Feb ) ; The i r cha rming , s e n s i t i v e and i d e a l i s t i c nature is re f l ec ted in their love l i f e . They u s u a l l y have a good humour and are very generous . If they fee l they ' re going to be bored in any way they just move away . They often look for a common interest . The i r sudden and w i l d en thus i a sm cou ld lead to adventurous a f f a i r s .

P I S C E S ( 2 0 F e b - 2 1 M a r ) : The i r tender hearts are r ead i l y c a p t u r e d . Gent l e and s e n s i t i v e nature may lead to emot i ona l un t id iness in their love a f f a i r s . They are impress ionab le and e a s i l y f l a t t e red . They enjoy g l amour . Not only romant ic and a f fec t ionate but a l s o p a s s i o n a t e . They can be e a s i l y hur t . Often very g ene rous . Somet imes tend to be f o rge t fu l . L i z a M i n e l l i is a t yp i ca l P i s c e s (glamour?! )

our ho l i day s , hav ing spent them " i n t e r - r a i l i n g " round Europe , s a i l i n g to B r i t t any , mining in South-A f r i ca or just p l a in temping in South Kens ing ton !

However , if a three month tour of Spa in for only £2 grabs y o u . . .

Go ing abroad is e x p e n s i v e , but there are ways and means (with -the he lp of NUS T r a v e l , or, if you are that badly off, w i th the he lp of your right thumb) o f ' spending a reasonab le period of time abroad for next to nothing.

T h i s I d i s cove r ed th is summer, when I went on an

internat ional work camp in Spa in . T h e s e operate in a lmos t every country in the w o r l d . Board and lodging is free, and work is easy and hours extreme ly short .

I set off for Barce l ona in ear ly J u l y and arr ived in Geneva through boarding the wrong tra in A n y w a y , I e ven tua l l y arr ived in Barce l ona at e l even o ' c l o c k at n i g h t . It was dark , and on f ind ing what I thought was a camp s i t e , p i tched my tent, only to be awakened next day by seve ra l b ew i l d e r ed -looking de igo cub-scouts armed w i th s t i c k s and " p e l o t a " ba t s ! I muttered a coup l e of " p e r d o n a ' s " and promptly

made my e x i t !

The work had been desc r ibed on my app l i c a t i on form as " c o n s t r u c t i o n w o r k " , but when I arr ived at the work camp I r ea l i s ed that there .had been a m i s t ake . Apparen t l y , my name had been t rans la ted as C a r l o s , and I had therefore " c h a n g e d s e x " somewhere between Eng land and S p a i n ! So there I was stranded on a bu i ld ing s i t e w i th only a p ick a x e , preumatlc d r i l l , and a f ine s e l e c t i on of we l I tanned b r i ck i e s as company . My workmates proved to be r ea l l y kind and e x c ep t i ona l l y w e l l behaved . On the ether hand, the accommodat ion was de f in i t e l y rough.

A f te r three weeks of pure sweat , a very apo loge t i c admin is t ra tor arr ived at the camp. A s compensat ion for h is error, I was taken to a l l the work camps in S p a i n , and from what I learnt and saw I c an recommend t h e m . Of c o u r s e , they are by no means luxury ho l iday resor ts , but so much can be learnt from the people one mee t s .

M U X

Telix Imagine my surprise when a rather pale looking, six mile

long creature walked into my office on Wednesday morning and said, "He l l o Gobber!" The fellow I'm referring to is of course John Downs. It is good to have him back with us for the Union Office has not been the same without his zanny sense of humour.

Accommodation

The 'crash pad' scheme run by the Union was quite successful although not many students had to avail themselves of i t . Those who did were mainly overseas students, many of whom thought that they automatically received a place in College residence once they are accepted onto a course at IC. I feel that this completely erroneous impression, which one assumes is obtained from tbe bumph sent out by College, ought to be cleared up. This will greatly reduce the confusion and consternation caused to al l concerned.

Food Guide

I promised a quid to whoever could prove they had eaten in the 'Contented Sole' in last week's F E L I X . I now have three people who have done, but due to my poor financial status I shall not be giving away anymore quids. At least you read the guide which was tbe main idea. Thanks for your interest.

Welcome to another Peter Pat te r , I hope that you have a l l se t t l ed down to the term, and invo lved yourse l ves In the s o c i a l s c e n e , a s w e l l as the work that your Department w i l l have been g i v i n g y o u . A su f f i c i en t var ie ty of events to cater for most t as t es , seems to have been

provided th is past week .

The week has been somewhat marred by the myster ious i l l n e s s that J o h n Downs cont rac ted , and is now be l i e ved to be German Meas l e s . I am sure that you w o u l d ' want to jo in me in w i s h i n g John a speedy return to h e a l t h . The Un ion Off ice does . not seem half as bright wi thout h im.

Re fec tor i es formed the major part of the bus iness at the f i rst U G M of the term as was reported in last w e e k ' s F E L I X . The r e have been s e ve ra l deve l op ­ments s i n c e t h e n . A t the Refectory Committee meet ing that afternoon it was dec ided that Dr L e vy , Mr Mooney, and I have to obta in quotes from a number of f irms for a var ie ty of dif ferent types of

by Peter Teague, ICU President

Inquir ies Into the Re f e c t o r i e s . Mr Mooney and. I a l s o have to get together and review the Fo rma l D inner P r i c e L i s t , a s it appears that t h i s may be far from correct f a funct ions organised by C o l l e g e a Un ion C l u b s and S o c i e t i e s . T h i s r e v i s i on shou ld mean that the pr i ces came down by 10%. May I pub l i c l y thank the other Student Rep resen ta t i v e s on the Commit tee who put their c a s e s most e l o q u e n t l y .

Many s tudents , par t i cu la r l y f i rs t years , have a s k e d me how much the C o l l e g e C a l e n d a r c o s t s to produce, and how much It Is used by the students who each r ece i ve a c o p y . T h i s cou ld perhaps be one s m a l l area In wh i ch the C o l l e g e cou ld make s a v i n g s In the years t o c o m e . A n y ideas that you have f a a l t e rna t i ves w i l l be most w e l c o m e .

The threatened shortage of a c commoda ­t ion f a s tudents seems to have evapaated- . We ran the usua l s tar t of term ' C r a s h P a d ' in the Un ion Gym f a people w i th nowhere to l i ve and on the fu l l e s t night we only had seven people s tay ing there . I hope

th is means that everyone e l s e has found a sa t i s f a c t o r y p lace to l i v e . If you are hav ing problems w i t h your L a n d l a d , or want to app ly to have a fa ir rent f ixed f a your f la t , then d e t a i l s , a d v i c e , and a p p l i c a t i o n f a m s are a v a i l a b l e In the Union O f f i c e . A good accommodat ion adv i c e s e r v i c e is needed w i t h i n the C o l l e g e , and John Downs and I have been making a concer ted e f f a t to c o l l e c t a l l the i n f a m a t l o n that we c a n . We w i l l be only too p leased to pass It on to anyone who is Interested. Your l oca l C i t i z e n s A d v i c e Bureau shou ld a l s o be ab le to he l p w i th any accommodat ion problems.

To c l o s e th is Peter Patter I would just l i ke to remind you that the Nomina t i on Papers f a a who le host of Interest ing posts are up on the not ice board In the u n i o n Lower Lounge , so why not pop over and see If any of the jobs take your fancy . See you at the next Un ion Genera l Meet ing w h i c h Is on Thursday 21st October , If not b e f a e . ;

Interview with Charles Clarke

N U S President Charles Clark, President of NUS, had a classical

education with a difference. He attended a Public School,

and then went on to Cambridge University. In his first year

he became actively involved in the aftermath of the Garden

House demonstration, which led to the arrest of seven

students in February 1970. In his second year, he was

elected to the Executive of the Cambridge Students Union -

the first Executive body at this University. In his third

year he was elected as President of the CSU and was

granted a sabbatical year.

The following is an extract of a conversation he had with

FEL IX just before the beginning of the new term.

FELIX: What are your own political opinions?

Charles Clark: I am a member of the Labour P a r t y . I d e s c r i b e

mysel f as be ing on the Le f t -wing of the party; I th ink that the main economic problems that the country faces w i l l not be s o l v e d by cut t ing pub l i c expend i ture , wage c o n t r o l , and other methods that th is government is emp l oy ing . FELIX: What measures do you think are necessary?

Charles Clark: Measures that w i l l decrease unemployment; f i r s t , that people have the spend ing power in their pockets to buy products and thus s t imu la t e product ion , and s e c o n d l y an increase in pub l i c e xpend i tu r e . So far as in f la t i on i s conce rned , I wou ld argue for much s t r i c t e r pr ice c o n t r o l s , en forceab le by s t a t u t e . Th i s may reduce pro f i t ab i l i t y in c e r t a in a r e a s , and no doubt ce r ta in people who own c a p i t a l may dec ide to transfer it to more prof i table a r e a s . South A f r i c a , for examp l e , and areas of the wor Id where the Labour Movement is not a t a 11 s t r o n g . Measures banning export of c a p i t a l a r e , therefore, e q u a l l y r e q u i s i t e . FELIX: Would you confiscate this capital?

Charles Clark: Indeed, y e s . FELIX: Do you accept that the "economic crisis" is with us?

Charles Clark: I c e r t a i n l y accept tha t . F E U X : But in "NUS is Your Union" you say that students are

not responsible for the crisis?

Charles Clark: I don ' t t h ink that s tudents have c rea t ed i t , nor

wo rke r s .

FELIX: But, surely, it does not matter who created it, it is here

to stay?

Charles Clark: It does matter . If you look for means of dea l ing w i th the c r i s i s , you have e q u a l l y to look at how the c r i s i s came about . Now, I th ink that the reason that the economic c r i s i s came to e x i s t , e s p e c i a l l y in th i s country , was through lack of inves t ­ment . The people w h o contro l the c a p i t a l dec ided that they wou ld not invest in th is c oun t r y . They took their investments e l s ewhe r e , to more prof i table a r e a s , and for that they must bear a s u b s t a n t i a l port ion of the b l ame . We cannot and c o u l d not cont ro l those d e c i s i o n s . , , „

FELIX: Are you in favour of total pulic ownership?

Charles Clark: N o ; we shou ld take into pub l i c owne rsh ip , and thus into pub l i c c o n t r o l , the key indust r i es — those w h i c h cont ro l our s o c i e t y . FELIX: It often appears that some public Corportions are

inefficient monoliths that char up vast sums of money?

Charles Clark: That is patent ly f a l s e ; there are two s p e c i f i c factors w h i c h must be taken into a c c o u n t . The f i r s t is that the

publ ic corporat ions have been sadd l ed w i t h a mass i v e debt repayment — a lmos t the s o l e cause of debt ba l ances in many c a s e s — a n d s e c o n d , those indust r i es w h i c h have been na t i ona l i s ed are P u b l i c Se rv i c e i ndus t r i e s , and a s s u c h , pub l i c s e r v i c e has come before the economic need of making a p ro f i t .

FELIX: How much money does NUS spend on its international

campaigns?

Charles Clark: 1 5%, of N U S resources - about £4,500. T h i s is spent on the four areas on w h i c h we have p o l i c i e s ; South A f r i c a , V i e t n a m , C h i l e , and F a s c i s m in southern Europe (Greece and formerly, Por tuga l . ) The po l i cy is now part ly out of da t e , but I think that the majority of s tudents wou ld support i t . FELIX: How and why are these policies formulated?

Charles Clark: The NUS takes up c e r t a i n p o l i c i e s because they are p r i o r i t i z ed by Student Un i ons w i s h i n g to see c e r t a i n ques t i ons debated open l y .

FELIX: A r en ' t fhese issues remote trom students?

Charles Clark: No , they a r e n ' t . I th ink that B r i t i s h people , and the B r i t i s h s o c i a l s y s t e m , because B r i t a i n was once a wor ld empire , are s p e c i f i c a l l y invo l ved in these a r e a s . FELIX: Does the Broad Left impose a " p a r r y line" on its

supporters?

Charles Clark: We are not a p o l i t i c a l party, and we canno t ,

therefore, impose a l ine on members. It is not a " d e m o c r a t i c

c e n t r a l i s t " o rgan isa t i on in that s e n s e . Hope fu l l y , we a l l come t o

a concencus on matters .

FELIX: Many people at NUS Conference have observed that NUS

Exec members refuse to answer questions on which there is no

party line?

Charles Clark: So far a s I know every E x e c u t i v e member when asked a q u e s t i o n , has answered it f r a n k l y .

FELIX: What does NUS think about the increase in tees for

overseas students?

Charles Clark: Very bad indeed , as we s a i d to the Government immed i a t e l y . We are not w e l l enough invo lved in the whole ques t i on of overseas s tuden t s , and th i s makes th ings d i f f i c u l t . Trevor P h i l l i p s has been do ing an exc e l l en t job in th is f i e l d , but the movement must be deve loped s o that pressure of that k ind from the government c a n be r e s i s t e d .

My v i ew of the way that the government shou ld treat overseas s tudents is t h i s : that it shou ld be prepared to accep t overseas s tudents to c o l l e g e s in th is country at a l l l e v e l s , and shou ld negot iate w i t h e a ch fore ign country an understanding as to the b a s i s for exchang ing s t u d e n t s .

Student U n i o n s in fore ign countr i es take p r e c i s e l y the same att i tude a s we do towards overseas s tuden t s ; West Germany and France are c a s e s i n po in t .

FELIX: What changes would you like to see in the present grants

system?

Charles Clark: I wou ld l i k e to s e e fu l l grants for a l l s tudents over the age of s i x t e e n .

FELIX: What is the NUS case against "loan — grants"?

Charles Clark: F i r s t l y , it would d i s c r im ina t e aga ins t those from poorer backgrounds ; s e c o n d l y , when you are wo rk ing after your e d u c a t i o n , you are mortgaged to a degree; t h i r d l y , it wou ld d i s c r i m i n a t e a ga ins t women . The most important argument, how­ever , is that educa t i on shou ld be a right for a l l people ; we wou ld t ike t o encourage everyone to go into further educa t i on , and obv i ous l y l e ss people are go ing to take it up if they w i l l be f i n a n c i a l l y d i s c r im ina t ed a g a i n s t . F E U X : What are the new tactics in this years grants campaign?

Charles Clark: I don ' t th ink that there is any v ir tue in nove l t y . The main strategy is t o work w i t h the trade unions and wider publ i c who are f i ght ing the cu ts in pub l i c expend i tu re . FELIX: Why does the NUS favour comprehensive education?

Charles Clark: B e c a u s e the graded s y s t em of educa t i on perpetrates educa t i ona l p r i v i l a ge to the d i sadvantage of m a n y . Fo r i n s t ance , the binary s y s t e m of higher educa t i on s e t up a c l a s s s y s t em — u n i v e r s i t i e s v e r sus the res t , w h i c h means , b a s i c a l l y , that the U n i v e r s i t i e s w i l l get a better d e a l than the r e s t . F E U X : D o e s the NUS think that students should attend their

local Universities as a method of solving the accommodation

problem?

Charles Clark: N o . The higher educa t i on sys t em is and shou ld be a na t i ona l o n e .

The NUS s e e ks to defend and represent s tudents " interests na t i ona l l y and l o c a l l y . S o m e t i m e s it f a i l s , somet imes it s u c c e e d s , but s tudent invo lvement , f i r s t l y in l o ca l u n i o n s , and s e c o n d l y in NUS is the on ly way that we can ensure (a) that we represent our members adequate ly and (b) not just represent them on paper, but a c t u a l l y campa ign for the fu l f i l lment of their v i e w s . I hope Students at Imperial C o l l e g e w i l l do t h i s . FELIX: What role do you see the student press having to play

in student aflairs?

Charles Clark: The student press has an important role to play -it must t ransmit to the i n d i v i d u a l s tudent H O N E S T L Y what the v i ews of h i s U n i o n a r e , what the p o l i c i e s of NUS a re . and what the major debates w i t h i n it a r e . Unfor tunate ly , there has been a tendancy for some student newspapers to t r i v i a l i s e these matters , and for the papers to become the ex t ens i ons of the ed i t o r ' s e g o . FELIX: Charles C lark, thank you for talking to us.

Greenslade In The Great Hall

A large apprec i a t i v e crowd at tended ' th j s , the f i r s t IC E n t s g ig of the s e s s i o n . Greens lade were the main a t t rac t i on w i th P h i l l l p G o o d h a n d - T a i t a s s u p p o r t .

He enter ta ined the aud ience w i t h a medley of songs on p iano and harmonium.

A f te r a q u i c k pint In the Un i on Bar (during the interval ) I came back to hear G r e e n s l a d e . They are a band w i th a f ine mus i ca l ped igree , i nc lud ing former members of C o l l i s e u m and K ing C r i m s o n , they somehow fa i l ed to l i ve up to e x p e c t a t i o n s . A l though t e chn i ca l l y immaculate , they d i dn ' t r ea l l y play w i th any great c o n v i c t i o n .

They came on stage proceeded by the inev i tab le pre-recorded tapes and were stra ight into 'Gatalan' from their last a lbum 'Time and Tide'. It f a i l ed mise r ­ab l y as a s i n g l e but was g i ven a good read i t i on on t h i s o c c a s i o n .

The next t ime w h c i h sounded l ike an L P recording — as d id most of the i r other songs — was c a l l e d 'Sun of Spirit' w h i c h w i l l be featured on the i r forth coming a l b u m . They then s l i p p e d back into t ime, and for the rest of the concer t played t racks from the i r prev ious four a l b u m s .

Of note were the t imes from their second a lbum 'Bedside Manners Are Extra'. These inc luded 'The Ass's Ear',

'Spirit of the Dance' (which they played

for an encore) and 'Drumfolk'. The latter being a rather poor take-off of B i l l y C o b h a m ' s s ty le of d rumming .

Thus ended the f i rs t g i g a t IC and a l l Un a l l must be cons ide r ed a s u c c e s s . I ' look forward to many more.

Theatre Look Back In Anger

Pandora Theatre is a new company, formed by old members of IC Dramat ic S o c i e t y . In their f i rs t product ion , wh i ch can be seen tonight and tomorrow in the Un ion Concer t H a l l , they g i ve us a powerful r end i t i on of John Osborne ' s modern c l a s s i c "Look Back in Anger",

d i rec ted by R i cha rd K i n g . Jimmy Porter has becime a legend In

Penny Grove p lays A l i s o n w i th the remarkable restra int w h i c h the part r equ i r es ; more than once I felt Impelled to s tand up and s i l e n c e J i m m y ' s haranguing but her qu ie t fore-

bearance que l l ed me. Only at the end d id she break through and sc ream the house down, unfortunately becoming u n i n t e l l i g ­ible In the p rocess .

Perhaps the charac ter the aud ience f inds most hateful Is He l ena (F rances Br in ton ) , the a rche typa l C o o l busybody who s tands up to J immy , though not for l ong . She is the c a t a l y s t w i thout whom the play c ou ld not f ire and M i s s B r ln t on ' s c o l d blooded approach is f r i g h t e n i n g :

Denys Bennett p lays C l i f f w i t h an a i r of long expe r i ence , he has seen It a l l happen so many t i m e s . H i s cont ro l at the news that A l i s o n Is pregnant Is Impress ive . He Is the datum l ine from w h i c h the v io l ence of the others may be measured.

' Look B a c k I n Anger* has been dated by the r ena i s sance w h i c h It began . Once Osborne had opened the f loodgates by r evea l ing , <o the theatre - go ing middle c l a s s e s , what post war youth was rea l l y up to there was no s topp ing the t ide of the -kitchen s i n k .

RIZ bft READ Freshers' Fair by Riz Shakir, ICU DP

A large number of f reshers attended the fa i r , hence from my persona l point of v i ew the fa ir was qui te s u c c e s s f u l . However , one or two th ings w h i c h emerged from it warrant some comment . F i r s t l y a c ons ide rab l e number of c l ubs and s o c i e t i e s d id not bother to f i l l in and return their forms, but turned up on the day and expec t ed every th ing to be la id on for them. I t r ied to a c c o m ­modate them as best a s I c o u l d , at the r i s k of it p lay ing havoc w i th the index w h i c h had to be a l tered as late as one o ' c l o c k on Tuesday morn ing .

I wou ld plead w i th the new o f f i c i a l s to put in the i r forms before the end of the summer term, s o that next year the D P does not have to s c r a p h i s p lans and start aga in just because twenty or s o c l u b s have dec ided to a s k for s tand at the last moment .

I am aware that their was a shortage of t a b l e s , however .there seems no easy s o l u t i o n to th is s i n c e we cannot borrow enough tab les from the rest of c o l l e g e and to buy tab les for use on one day in a year is hardly p r a c t i c a l . I am look ing into the p o s s i b i l i t y of rent ing t ab l es and w i l l forward my f ind ings to my s u c c e s s o r .

One d i s t r e s s i n g th ing on the Freshers F a i r was the fact that a cons ide rab l e number of c l u b s and s o c i e t i e s comp le t e l y ignored my ins t ruc t i ons and put up posters w i th tape . The fact of the matter is that over £3000 of both College and Union money has been

spent on redecoration of the building this summer. My view may

seem somewhat harsh, but I think a small minority of irresponsible

club officials should not be allowed to destroy the outlook for the

rest of students. I am therefore taking the matter to Council and

the offenders will be appropriately penalised.

I wou ld l i ke to make it c l e a r to everybody w i s h i n g to put up posters in the U n i o n B u i l d i n g that they shou ld e i ther be put up on the not ice boards or B l u e tac shou ld be u s e d . A n y c l u b , s o c i e t y , or i n d i v i d u a l in breach of th i s wou ld be p e n a l i s e d . T h e form of th i s w i l l be cons ide r ed by C o u n c i l .

A t th i s point I th ink I owe a l l of you an apology for hav ing made an i l l -prepared and misrepresentat i ve statement in my haste (over the P A sys tem) dur ing the F a i r .

I wou ld l i ke to s t r e s s that I fee l s t rong ly about c l u b s and s o c i e t i e s grant ing free membership to f reshers for the f i r s t few weeks of the s e s s i o n . I w i l l be tak ing my proposal to C o u n c i l and try to get po l i c y on th i s s t a t ing that c l u b s / s o c i e t i e s must not charge freshmen any s u b s c r i p t i o n unt i l a few weeks into t e rm. T h i s w i l l enab le the f reshers to get acqua in ted w i t h the f a c i l i t i e s that the c l u b prov ides and/or the types of funct ions it o r gan i s e s . In th i s way a more a c t i v e membership shou ld r esu l t and make sure that the h ierarchy of the c l u b / s o c i e t y cater for a l l Interests and are not ho ld ing the pos i t i on just to obta in p r i v i l i g e s .

F i n a l l y , I wou ld l i k e to e n c o u r a g e c l u b s / s o c i e t i e s to ho ld more funct ions and every s tudent at IC to par t i c ipate in the Un i on t o a greater ex t en t . The Un i on not only needs you for It to be strong and r epresenta t i v e , but it provides you w i th a var ie ty of f a c i l i t i e s to he lp you in your everyday l i f e .

Looking back on " T a k e S p i n n h V

T h i s is the 5th a lbum from Weather Report — one of the t o p - l i g h t jazz groups whose popular i ty over the last few years has increased w i t h the re l ease of a c oup l e of funky, l ess extreme, L P ' s . They are j o in t l y led by Joe Z a w i n u i , an asso r t ed keyboards and s y n t h e s i s e r s , and Wayne Shorter on saxophone , two members of the modern jazz h ierarchv who have played w i t h l i k e s of M i l e s D a v i s and Herbie H a n c o c k . More than ab l e support is provided by Dom Urn Romao (percuss ion) A l p h o n s o Johnson (bass ) , and Ishmuel Wi lbum (drums) .

The a lbum expands the current trend Into the funk ie r , more r n v t h m i c a l l y -or ientated reg ions of jazz that were f i rs t attempted on "Sweetnighter" a n d then adopted for the major part of "Mysterious Traveller", the ir 3rd and 4th a lbums r e spec t i v e l y A good d e c i s i o n — c o n s i d e r i n g the f i r s t two a lbums d i spensed w i th the idea of a main theme and concent ra t ed , rather e x c e s s i v e l y , on the crea t ion of mood and atmosphere as the subs tance of a number . They were c rea t ing sound ef fects w i t h nothing tobr ing them together except for the o c c a s i o n a l moments when A l p h o n z e Mouzon ' s e xce l l en t drumming took charge and provided a d i r e c t i o n .

Now they ' ve sorted a l l that out — concentra t ing on s t rong , me lod i c , tunes w i th a d i s c e r n i b l e progress ion from start to f i n i s h . Y o u don ' t have to posess a Phd in mus ic to understand it anymore .

"Man In a green shirt", the opening

t rack , is the best examp le , w i th ins i s t en t drumming and equa l l y powerful bass attempting to move the song faster than it wants to go but cons tan t l y hav ing to

give in to the stength of the melody l ine . A n exce l l en t number whose fee l is cont inued through the rest of s i d e one and part of s i d e two of s p e i c a l note are Dom Urn Romao ' s c on t r i bu t i ons , cons tan t l y adding co l our and fu l l n e s s to the s o und .

In shor t , the a lbum shows a more o rgan ised , uncluttered approach to M u s i c , than Weather report 's free-form leanings of a few years ago . More cont ro l has been imposed on "the sparks of Imagination that used to wander off and "Tale Splnnio" is an e x c e l l en t reason for l i s t en ing to th is band of undeniab le stature and Integrity who are a t last f ind ing an ai fd lence of some magni tude.

..JethroTull's " A Passion Play"

C r i t i c s wr i te g l i b l y about the past -and-

present c l a s s i c s of music w h i l s t some­

t imes m i s s i n g out the rea l gems under

condemned th is a lbum as a technique- for-

a c c l a i m e d and respected group were

b lunt ly handed the i r cards . Hatchet jobs

galore — but they were a l l wrong .

T h i s is a truly c l a s s i c a l b u m . It

rounds off the whole progress ion of T u l l

from the 1968 B l u e s roots of "This Was",

through that f ine t r io of wax ings "Stand

It 's not an a lbum you can put on and instant ly l ike . A s w i th a l l the best th ings an i n i t i a l l ack of understanding has to be overcome by a c t u a l l y " l i s t e n i n g " to the t h i n g . The music is not for the c a s u a l ear but any trouble taken in s t i c k i n g w i th the p iece through repeated p lay ings is soon rewarded in f u l l . The genius and c l a s s , i n i t i a l l y hidden away by over lays of f au l t l e s s m u s i c i a n s h i p and the contro l of the e c c en t r i c one-legged piper, is then a l l owed to show i t s e l f . What at f i rst may have sounded mechan ica l and contr i ved — Herbie Mann meets E L P — e ventua l l y a l l o w s the main themes to come out of the undergrowth, and the textura l strengths of the mus ic have a chance to prove their worth . It 's a l l f ine l y -boned . cra f tsman I ike m u s i c - m a k i n g . Var i ed exped i t i ons on c l a r i n e t , saxophone , and f lute , c om­plementary piano-work by John E v a n , and metronomic p rec i son -p lay ing from Barriemore Bar lour and Jeffrey Hammond-Hammond combine to produce th is excep t i ona l a l b u m .

Much to my misfortune, A m a z i n g B l onde l seem to be the support ing ac t to too many of the concer ts I a t t e n d . A f ter much persone l suf fer ing I've found the best po l i cy to take when B l onde l trundle onto a s t age , is to make s tra ight for the nearest source of refreshment (usua l l y the bar ) . However , hav ing been despatched by the Ed i t o r to rev iew the ent i re proceed­ings tor F E L I X , I took my l i fe Into my own hands and somehow managed to s i t through the who l e se t .After a l I, I thought , the dynamic duo had been augmented by a bass -p laye r and drummer, perhaps th i s wou ld l i v en up their usua l l y t i resome of fer ings, and maybe - just maybe, they had wr i t t en a song that d i dn ' t have to be counted in w i th the proverbia l ... a-one-a two-e one-two-three-four!

I was wrong on both c o un t s .

'We've got two guys up here with us

tonight who hav'nt played in a place this

size before', the man s a i d , ' one ' s an undertaker and the other is a bricklayer'-

(after hear ing them I had no reason to d ispute t h i s ) . ' O K , this Is a song that we

don't know (sic), it goes something like

this - a-one, a-two-a one-two-three-four'.

A n d so it went on, every number-a-one a

-two » . * - - • for about the last half dozen songs , the band suf fer ing the acute embarresment of hav ing the t ime counted in for them by a great percentage of the a u d i e n c e .

It wou ld seem that I'm not the only one to have seen A m a z i n g B l o n d e l on previous o c c a s i o n s , as the s i z e of the audience q u i c k l y t r ip led on the i rdepar ture , to awa i t the a r r i v a l of Dary l H a l l and John Oates for the i r f i r s t appearence on a B r i t i s h s t a g e . T h e A m e r i c a n songwr l t lng duo, who by a l l a ccounts are about to break it b i g in the S ta t es , f lew in for a one-off g i g to promote their new R C A a lbum, s imp l y c a l l e d 'Daryl Hall and John Oates'. A l though not too w i d e l y known in th i s country as yet , it was ev ident from the recept ion they rece ived that w i th the re lease of two a lbums on A t l a n t i c ('Abandon Luncheonette' and

'War Babies'*) they have bu i l t up a cons ide rab l e r epu ta t i on .

Whi l s t B l onde l took bandlty to Its extreme, H a l l and Oates (together w i th their four-piece band) showed the f iner points of s l i c k Amer i c an p r o f e s i o n a l i s m . Fo r the u n i n i t i a t e d , the music is t ight and w e l l a r ranged , p lac ing the emphas is on strong l y r i c a l and melod ic content , a pleasant change from the e n d l e s s ' b o o g i e syndrome" that too many of their US counterparts e x h i b i t . A good example

would to l iken them to s ay , Stee ly D a n , a l though th is might be unfair in so much as the duo ' s music is as Ind iv idual to them as is B e c k e r and Fagens to the D a n ' s .

Most of the v o c a l i z i n g was done by H a l l , who a l s o played e l e c t r i c p iano and the o c c a s i o n a l mando l in , Oates tak ing the s l i g h t l y l esser role of rhythm gu i t a r/ harmony v o c a l s , a l though on h is few outings s i n g i n g the lead he handled the s i tua t i on more than competent l y . . The band too, d id nothing but enhance the performance w i t h their f ine m u s i c i a n s h i p and on-stage manner i sms, and It was qui te f i t t ing that they were brought back for two e n c o r e s .

With their new s ing l e ' C a m e l l i a ' , being g iven qui te a few rad io p l a y s , (although far too good to make our tepid charts ) the name of H a l l and Oates should spread a a l i t t le further, and in so do i ng , perhaps en t i ce the duo to return for further U K gigs . If they choose to do , then they shou ld not be m i s s e d at any c o s t .

SPANISH CA VING by John Miller

The caving club is again very act ive. Th i s summer

it mounted its first expedition for three years,visiting

a remote area high up in the western end of the

Cantabrian Mountains in north Spain.

The expedition was in the field for six weeks,

during which we discovered and surveyed three

kilometers of cave passage. We had to go up to 1000 m

above sea level to find our most exciting discovery.

Cueva De Wueva, as we later christened it, even had

i ts ' own human skul l at the bottom of a 39m entrance

pitch .'Not a sign of human habitation we thought, but

perhaps someone murdered in the Spanish C i v i l War,

as we had already found in the entrance of another

cave an old machine gun. We eventually discovered two

kilometers of passage in this cave, some of it

30m high, our exploration through was ended by a

sump, where the water reached the roof .

If you want to find out more about caving and the

excitement we shared this summer you should join us

on one of our weekend meets. Our next meet is the

weekend of October 17th - 19th-and is in Derbyshire.

Our notice baord is just inside the entrance to the

Union if you wish to sign up and come along. '

F o r the f i rs t time in a number of years the Tab l e Tenn is C l u b Is compet ing in a league . The i n i t i a l matches began in the f i rst week of term, and the teams met w i th mixed fortune.

surrounded by our Grime Reporter.

As the siege of the famous London spaghetti house, "Southside Refectory" moves into its third week, the police today revealed the identity of the vicious gunman who is holding 4,000 students hostage, as Victor (or "Cockroach") Mooney, a man well known in underworld circles for this type of crime. Tension remained high as reports came through that the gunman was in a nervous, irritable state, facing deteriorating sanitary conditions • and forced by lack of food to eat refectory meals.

What s tar ted off a s a s imp l e attempt to rob 4,000 s tudents of the i r grants by charg ing r i d i c u l o u s l y high pr ices for Inedible food has deve loped into one of the most d i f f i cu l t c a s e s the po l ice in th i s area have ever had to h a n d l e .
