The Arab/IC Radio Conflict

IC RADIO may have an unlikely neighbour at its technical

studio at 10 Princes Gardens; the basement of no 9 is to

become a mosque to be used by Islam S o c . T h e controversy

surrounds the application of G L C Fire Regulations which

stipulate that a second escape route be available.

T h e estates department has decided that the best way to

comply with these regulations is to put a door in the wall that

will divide the mosque from the studio so escape will be

through the studio.

FELIX, October 10, 1980 ' Page 3

By J. Passmore

W E L L D O N E , you got through

the first week as well. M y first

duty this week is to explain the

w h o l e s t r u c t u r e r e l a t i n g t o

U G M s , representation, etc. S o . .

UGMs

IC Union General Meetings are

held about once a month. They

d i s c u s s m a t t e r s w h i c h h a v e

arisen in the intervening period

and decide what should be done,

i.e. they instruct myself and the

other officers what to do. This

can be anything from represen

tation within College to matters

external (normally those which

affect us).

U G M s a r e h e l d e i t h e r o n

Tuesday or Thursday lunchtimes

(1:30pm to 2:30pm) so nobody

will miss lectures. They are well

advertised beforehand. A thing

called E x e c Neius is produced

t h r e e to four days before the

meeting and it contains Officers'

reports and motions which are to

be discussed.

What happens at a UGM?

W e l l , the m i n u t e s of the last

m e e t i n g are d i s t r i b u t e d at the

meeting and any matters arising

are dealt with. Then the Officers

present their reports, and everyone

asks questions about what we

have done. T h e n the juicy bit,

motions, where the Union formu

lates policy to guide the Exec in

m a k i n g t h e i r d e c i s i o n s . T h e

Union policy document is kept

in the Union Office and contains

policy past back beyond 1968.

Anyone can propose any motion

at a U G M . N o r m a l l y m o t i o n s

consist of noting various facts;

b e l i e v i n g s e v e r a l t h i n g s , a n d

instructing people to do things.

M o t i o n s a r e p r o p o s e d a n d

s p e e c h e s a r e m a d e , t h e n the

m o t i o n s m a y be a m e n d e d o r

opposed or both. A n amendment

a d d s s o m e e x t r a b i t s a n d / o r

t a k e s a w a y s o m e b i t s a n d is

proposed in a similar fashion to

the main motion, it can then be

opposed. If necessary, another

round of speeches may be held

a n d after d i s c u s s i o n a vote is

taken. The main motion can also

be opposed and there can also

be more speeches, finally leading

to a vote. The whole process is

complicated but it all follows the

same pattern. The only way you

can really find out is to go, and

when there, if you do not under

stand, shout and scream at the

people at the front until they tell

you.

For meetings to remain quorate

300 peop le are r e q u i r e d . T h a t

d o e s n o t m e a n t h a t j u s t 300

should turn up. If Un ion meetings

are to be effective lots more are

needed.

A l s o many people think that

student unions are a crowd of

p o l i t i c o s . W e l l , we are not in

N U S and believe in representing

our own students; just look at

the agenda, basically a motion to

restrict a discussion on a subject

to o n c e a t e r m , a m o t i o n on

lecture training (enough said) and

a motion on overseas students.

The next meeting is T U E S D A Y ,

O C T O B E R 28 at 1:00pm in the

Great Hal l .

Timetables

R e m e m b e r t h a t n o l e c t u r e s

should be timetabled for Wed

nesday afternoons or the 1:30-2:30

slot on Tuesdays and Thursdays

(except for the last term). A n y

complaints regarding this — see

either your Dep Rep or myself.

Y o u should know by now who

your Dep Rep is and should elect

Academic and Social reps this

week.

Papers

P a p e r s a r e up i n the L o w e r

Lounge for a multitude of posts,

most of which no one will know

anything about. T o explain:

T h e External Affairs Officer

deals with U L U , grants, overseas

s t u d e n t s , l i b r a r i e s a n d v a r i o u s

other things. His /her committee

helps the officer.

The Permanent Working Party

w o r k s o n m a t t e r s r e f e r r e d to

them by Counc i l , normally of an

internal nature, e.g. refectories.

U L U Student Representative

Counc i l delegates represent I C U

within the University on many

academic and university matters.

Union Finance Committee

deals with Un ion finance (which is

approximately £189.00).

Academic Affairs Committee

d e a l s w i t h l e c t u r e r t r a i n i n g ,

tutorials, labwork, etc.

T i d d l y w i n k s was a b s o l u t e l y

e x c e l l e n t . W e l l d o n e a l l w h o

went, I hope you keep it up.

A l l for now. Hie ! T r y Bluebell

on 2488, wonderful!

John Passmore

President

Matters Raised

W E L L I hope you're all settled in

by now, despite the hectic first

w e e k . If y o u d i d n ' t c o m e to

Freshers ' Fair then ya, boo and

sucks because you missed all the

clubs. However , you can always

get names of club captains, etc,

from Annie in the Union Office,

so you can still join up. I was

very pleased with the way the

Fair went, and I must thank Rich

Archer , Dave Brit ton and Annie ,

w h o were the on ly ones w h o

stayed till the end to clear up.

A n d now the rest of this weeks

Trophy Lead

D e s p i t e what was sa id in the

Freshers ' F E L I X , the police have

been m a k i n g p r o g r e s s on the

s t o l e n t r o p h i e s . T h e y h a v e

i d e n t i f i e d a s u s p e c t , w h o left

many fingerprints on the broken

w i n d o w a n d the c a b i n e t i tse l f ,

and they are at present tracing

him so that he can "help them

with their enquiries".

JCR Furniture

M o st of the furniture has now

c o m e b a c k , c o m p l e t e l y re -up

holstered and looking very nice

indeed. A s this was achieved at a

cost of over £4,000 to the U n i o n ,

we would like to see it staying

n i ce . P l e a s e , please, P L E A S E

spare a little thought, and treat it

with respect, after all , its your

money, which could have been

spent in far better ways. A lso I'd

like to give an official warning: if

a n y o n e is caught a b u s i n g the

f u r n i t u r e they wi l l be severe ly

disciplined and made to pay the

cost of making good any damage.

Finance

The Union Finance Committee

Major Cla ims meeting will be on

Tuesday, November 4, and all

claims must be in to me one week

b e f o r e h a n d , i . e . by T u e s d a y ,

Oc tober 28. S o all you clubs and

societies had better start thinking

about what you need and finding

some very good reasons why you

need it!

That 's all for this week, so bye

for now.

L i b e r a l C l u b . H e s t r e s s e d the

fact that the Liberal Party had its

greatest o p p o r t u n i t y in recent

years with a harsh and unpopular

T o r y g o v e r n m e n t faced by an

ineffective and bickering Labour

opposition, and forecast a break

through in the next few years, as

Liberal policies on human rights,

ecology, industr ial partnership ,

and 'power to the people', were

seen as relevant to the situation

of Britain and the world. During

avid discussion afterwards it was

felt that, whilst the Liberal party

should emphasise its role as the

p r o g r e s s i v e a l t e r n a t i v e , we

should be prepared to work with

b r o a d - b a s e d a n d s i n g l e i s sue

not take the chauvinistic attitude

of the other parties insisiting we

were the 'only way'.

variety of activities; frequently we

are called on to send one or two

detective work, tracing a person

last known in this area on behalf

of their family overseas; some

times we are called on to assist

at the local Red Cross Fair in

HAVING got the first week of

the year out of the way, the RCS

machine goes thundering on.

The pub crawl on Wednesday

was well attended and enjoyed

by all. A Kangela from over a

hundred people in the tunnel

served to terrorise all the tourists

in the vicinity, so the rest of the

evening was (fairly) peaceful.

The real blockbuster of the

week took place on Saturday.

About 170 intrepid R C S persons

turned out to tiddle and wink

down Oxford Street. Despite

being outnumbered by Guilds,

R C S pissed all over them by

collecting around £940 with a few

c a n s sti l l o u t s t a n d i n g . T o p

collector of the day was Andy

North of Physics 1 with £42.

However, congratulations to

everyone who came along, you're

all stars as far as I'm concerned.

The next Rag stunt will be this

Saturday and is a circus outside

H a r r o d s . C l o w n s and other

performers should meet in the

R C S U Office at 10:00am.

The bar night on Sunday was

a good old barnstormer to finish

off the week on a high note and

totally wreck Archer's voice.

Forthcoming events include

the Freshers' Dinners. Maths is

on Friday and starts at 7:00pm

for 7:30pm in the Ante-room,

Sherfield Building. There is also a

party afterwards to which anyone

who has bought a ticket for any

of the freshers' dinners can go.

Merely turn up at the JCR after

10:00pm with your ticket receipt

and you will be admitted.

Finally, the RCS Union Office

is open every lunchtime, so drop

in to buy a slopshirt or just for a

cup of coffee and a chat.

See you around.

PJ

FRESHERS' week is over and I

have nearly had to retire with

t alcoholic poisoning. The Fair was

a great success with a lot of

regalia sold; this was followed by

ice-skating, where, despite many

attempts, no injuries were incur

red. The rugby trials on Wednes

day were well attended and in

the evening we had a great bar-

nite. On Friday we had the best

JCR party yet, and hopefully you

all met some of the women from

IF.

Tiddlywinks was a heap of fun,

especially down the centre of

Oxford St. In the end we collected

£290 which means we collected

more money per head than the

other C C U s . Finally on Saturday

night we held our annual pub-

crawl, which although poorly

attended, showed that the drinking

spirit in Mines remains one of

excess.

Later on this term we hope to

arrange a Rag collecting visit to

Windsor.

C&G

N E X T M O N D A Y , October 13,

Guilds are having a roller-skating

trip to the Covent Garden Rink.

The cost will be £1.20 (group

rate) plus £1 deposit for skates,

plus travel. We may be holding a

roller-skating Rag collection later

this term so if you need some

practise, this is a good opportunity.

O n Tuesday we are holding

the E L E C T I O N U G M at which

you will be able to vote for the

new Guilds President and Hon

Junior Treasurer. Be in Mech

Eng 220 at 12:45pm on the 14 to

cast your all-important vote.

On Thursday, October 16, the

fun really starts, with the first of

the Freshers ' Dinners . These

offer an excellent opportunity to

meet other members of your

department, have a really good

three-course meal and generally

have a great evening. There will

be sherry (or orange juice)

served in the Sherfield Ante

room at 7:00pm and the meal will

start at 7:30pm.

After the dinner and speeches

there will be an opportunity to

socialise with other members of

your department over coffee in

the JCR. A bar will also be open.

The cost of the dinner is £4.50

for freshers, £6 for others. This

price includes sherry, wine, port

and coffee. O n the subject of

port — a couple of 'rules': the

decanter must not be allowed to

touch the table; you must only

handle it with your left hand,

passing it to your left; ladies

must not touch the decanter at

all and it should be passed

behind them.

One other rule: anyone who

leaves the r o o m before the

Royal T o a s t must, on their

return, drink one pint of beer

(slightly salted), so make sure

you 'go' before the dinner.

Tickets are available from the

G u i l d s Off ice or from your

departmental reps. The dates of

the dinners are shown elsewhere

in FELIX.

Undergraduate Research

Opportunities A S C H E M E is being introduced whereby first and second year

undergraduate students can participate in research either in or

outside their own departments. It is entirely voluntary.

Participation will give you a chance to:

- learn at first hand about the sort of activities you can expect

to undertake after graduating;

- learn at your own pace, without formal instruction, by actually

doing something;

- have the opportunity of contributing to knowledge in your

subject;

- decide whether or not a particular field of work suits you;

- further interests you may have already developed — from

industrial experience, hobbies and so on;

- cross disciplinary boundaries;

- achieve a publication, prototype, invention, prize or other

tangible item;

- be inspired concerning the context and purpose of your

formal coursework;

- maybe earn some money.

How to Join

Remember you are free to join or opt out of this scheme at any time

— it's up to you! You will be working in your own time.

A list giving the areas of research in which opportunities for

undergraduates currently exist can be obtained from Professor J. C.

Anderson, Room 714, Electrical Engineering Department. Bear in

mind that the intention is not necessarily that you should carry out a

specific project with a beginning and middle and end; participation is

the name of the game!

The hours you work in research are up to you. Laboratories are

open until 10:00pm each evening and at the weekend. You should

apply to the appropriate authority (in your department) for an out-of-

hours pass and (where necessary) a laboratory key. Remember the

safety rule that you may never work alone in a laboratory.

Formal Requirements

There are no formal, academic requirements but you are invited, at

the end of your research activities, or at some other suitable point to

write a brief technical report on your work. This report should

discuss, amongst other things, what work you have done; the

theoretical and practical significance of the work; how you think the

research would/should be carried forward; how the experience of

participating in the research contributed to your intellectual and

practical development.

The report will be submitted to your supervisor who will forward it

to the departmental central office. It will be kept to be referred to

when your department is called upon to give you a reference In the

future. It will also be useful to the Examiners when they come to

discussing your final degree.

College Health Service

The College Health Service at 14 Princes Gardens is available to:

students and staff. It includes a well-equipped surgery, consulting

rooms and a sick bay (term time only).

Students and staff who live in the postal districts listed below can

also register with the Health Service, which holds an NHS list on

behalf of the College:

SW 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10

NW 1, 3, 5, 6, 8

EC 1, 2

Hamlet Gardens

W 1, 2, 8, 9, 10,

N 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

WC 1, 2

11, 14

10, 16, 19

Students are strongly advised to register with a doctor while in

London; this provides full emergency cover and visiting at home or

lodgings when necessary, day and night, throughout the year.

An optional insurance scheme has been introduced for students to

cover payment for services not provided free of charge by the NHS,

e.g. the sick bay and certain medical examinations. Premiums are:

1 year or part-time course £5

2 year course £8.50 3 year course £12

4 year course £14

Further details of the facilities offered by the College Health Service,

NHS registration and the insurance scheme are available from 14

Prince's Gardens.

U i o m t e t i b\*ib tea ptmb

REMEMBER the story about the rotten food

in Southside in the Freshers' FELIX?

Well, authoritative sources tell us that as

jsoon as Mr Mooney saw FELIX he rushed

into the kitchens with Mr Parsons (Assistant

Refectory Manager) and proceeded to grill

(or reheat, maybe) all of the staff.

T h e c o o k - f r e e z e abuse is c o m m o n

knowledge in the kitchens and Mr Mooney

was very annoyed that it had been leaked to

the press. We would dare to suggest that

instead of wasting his time attempting to

cover up his failings he diverted his attention

to doing a better job. 'Nuff said?

I l l e g a l R m W m

S O M U C H for all the fuss about Steve

Marshall's rag mag being illegal last year

because it didn't have the printer's name

on it. Even Big Brian made detrimental

comments about it (we all know it was just

a very convenient excuse to stop its sale —

nice try, Bri!). I shudder to think what

College would do if they even suspected that

any of those rag mags were ever sold

afterwards without the printer's imprint.

So public-spirited was I, that I bought out

Rag's entire supply at F r e s h e r ' s Fair

(lOp each) to stop them falling into the

wrong hands. These illegal items are now

being sold for personal and private gain

at £5 each.

PS Congrats are now in order to Dave

Jago for keeping up the tradit ion of

producing excellent rag mags. I like it

a lot and it's nice to see the printer's imprint

this year (you can't miss it). I'm not terribly

conversant with the Printer's Imprint Act,

196T,so I wouldn't know whether it needed

the publisher's name or not.

T H E Oi ly D o w s o n M e m o r i a l Prize for

misleading headlines was today presented to

Mr S Goulder, FELIX news editor. Mr S J

Marshall, current holder of the title, was

, visibly moved by this shock defeat but

confidentially stated that he would be back

on form soon.

IT'S NICE to see that the Union bog lights

have at long last been fixed.

So, when is Rachel Jane going to realise

that us masculine types also need such

requisites as soap, and bog paper? Locks

and handles on the doors would be nice too.

Liz Lindsay has been heard to comment

that she thinks that the paper in the ladies is

far too hard. Woopee! But what about us

blokes, long finger-nails play havoc with our

piles, you know!

While we're on the bog: when was the last

time R a c h e l Jane c h e c k e d the D u r e x

machine? I would have thought someone

would have told her that it needed filling by

now.

Ak c £ Mm

I M U S T be feeling particularly anal today.

I've been absorbed by the new Kimberly-

Clark bog paper all this week. Most of the

halls have sprouted little plastic dispensers of

single sheet paper. Did you know, and not a

lot of people know this, but the equivalent

amount of paper is TWICE as expensive as

the old stuff. At first, I was astounded that

College should want to double their already

massive toilet paper bills, but after careful

experimentation in the field (where do you

think I wrote this article?) I think they may

not be as daft as everybody thinks.

While I usually pull about eight sheets off a

roll to make a four sheet wiper, I find it

awfully time consuming to pull out the

equivalent from these dastardly dispensers.

And I have discovered that I only need a

couple of sheets for the average bomb load

— thus cutting down wastage and U-bend

blockage. V Good.

I also did a little research amongst some of

the FELIX staff members. Dave Jago tells me

he only uses one sheet at a time anywav and

thinks College are wasting money. However,

Mark Smith claims to need a 16-sheet wiper

i as a minimum. Even this is no match for

what he cutely terms his 'flock of sparrows'

after a Star of India Curry.

Why don't Y O U write to the Editor and

tell him what you think of the new bog

paper.'

L I N S T E A D basement is currently being

tidied up. It is used as a trunk and baggage

store but tends to be abused by ex-students

who return fifteen years later expecting to

find their trunks still intact.

One such trunk was discovered which

belonged to an Iranian ex-Mech Eng student.

After forcing the lock an interesting item was

noticed amongst the clothes, books and

soldering irons — a gold-plated vibrator!

Puzzle Corner By Scaramouche

There are very few students of logic at Primelia College;

not surprising, really, considering their professor's sense of humour.

When exam results were announced last term, for instance, he mixed

up the cards in his secretary's address file, so all six final year students

received a letter giving the results of one of the others. Predictably, all

six were waiting outside his office when he arrived the following

morning.

"Well work them out!" beamed the professor. "After all, you know

we awarded one first, two seconds, and three thirds. And surely you

guessed that Bumble did better then Drudge, and Clumsy didn't do as

well as Amble."

"I now know everyone's results," announced Fumble.

"From that, I can deduce them all, too," said Clumsy.

"Now I know them all," put in Bumble.

"Me too,"groused Amble. "I thought I'd done better than that." 1 The six of them then set off for the Queen's Legs to celebrate,

leaving the professor's secretary working how to put the correct

names to the addresses in her file. Can you help her?

Friday), October 10, 1980 Page 11

Last Friday, I was sent a letter by the Union

Executive, claiming certain factual inaccuracies

in last week's FELIX. Before I continue, here is

the letter:

Dear Sir,

Just a wee note to clear up a few factual

inaccuracies in your FELIX of October 3, 1980.

1. Exec News was not distributed in a frenzy at

the Rector's Reception. The copies were placed in

each department as per usual.

2. A meeting is not inquorate until the quorum

is challenged and a quorum call cannot be

withdrawn.

3. The Union Bar remained open until 5:00pm

at Freshers' Fair.

4. Miss Ruth Hildebrand's jacket was stolen

from the Guilds Reception held in the Union

Concert Hail, not from the proceedings in the

Great Hall.

5. The two gentlemen who inspected the

trophy cabinet and the Rape Alarm system around

the Union Office were from the firm who are to

install further alarms. The degree of security was

decided at the beginning of August when it was

agreed to install an alarm on the trophy cabinet at a

cost of £101, and two additional rape alarms in the

Union Office at a cost of £170.

6. The Freshers' U G M , October 7, 1976 was

closed due to inquoracy at 2:30pm. The Freshers'

U G M , October 5, 1978, was closed due to

inquoracy at 2:20pm.

7. Bill Robertson has not yet received his

Honorary Life Membership of IC Union as he was

unable to attend the Freshers' U G M , but the

presentation is scheduled for the U G M October

28, 1980.

We could go on, but that's enough for the time

being.

We fee"l it will be a great pity if this trend is

allowed to continue as there is a great risk that the

Letters Page will be reduced to corrections of

mistakes made in the previous week's issue.

Love

Michael John

Rachel Jane

Elizabeth Agnes

themselves as an efficient, vibrant Exec, as I

received a further two mysterious phone calls

from Mr Passmore (Irishman) urging me to

print their letter.

Mr Passmore (Irishman) then picked fault

with the headline 'Freshers' U G M Inquorate'

claiming there is no such word as inquorate. Of

course, we were merely quoting Mr Passmore

(Irishman) at the U G M — see (2) of the Exec's

letter, and the part of Passmore's Preversions

where he uses the word 'quorate'.

What about the actual letter? 1-4 are mere

, trivial crap intended to fill out the letter. As for

(5), I would ask why Rae Snee did not inform

me of these details when I asked her at the end

of August for the P G Issue. Also, I distinctly

remember Mr Passmore negotiating a shady

deal (cash in hand) with a security guard who

knew the right people for 'very cheap' alarm

systems. Whatever came of that John, I don't

see you reporting it in your articles each week.

Slapped wrists all round!

What about (6)? Here I fall down, what I had

meant to write was that this is the first Freshers'

U G M for five years to be inquorate RIGHT

F R O M T H E V E R Y BEGINNING A T 1:00pm. I

notice the quoted U G M s had a good one and a

half hours of business discussed. And (7) —

trivial pooh.

I fear that if the trend of spending many

working hours devising methods of getting at

the Editor of FELIX is not averted then the

present nine to five Exec will degenerate into a

'What time does the bar open Exec'.

As for Mr Passmore, may I advise him that his

year as President will be judged on the amount

of policy passed at U G M s and the improve

ments in College life made, N O T on how many

times he is seen arseholed in the Union Bar.

TheTrish President

An apology

I would wish to retract all of the above

statements; after they were pasted down I

realised that I had been a little harsh on the

Exec. So, John, Rae and Liz, please consider all

of the above well and truly retracted.

The Exec must be very proud of their letter

as I have heard nothing else since. Rae Snee

informed IC Radio of the letter and it became a

major news item. Midweek, the Exec got the

impression that I wasn't going to print their

missive and they descended on me in force to

attempt to grill me about it. 1 I must have not satisfied their desire for

publicity for their cause, i.e. that portraying

Thanks to

All those people who helped this week, I won't

list you as I don't know some of your names.

Please come to the staff meeting at 1:00pm

today and introduce yourself in a more relaxed

atmosphere. And don't forget the Phoenix

meeting on Tuesday at 7:00pm in Stans.

fundamental questions about the very safety

of the mosque, and of the equipment of

IC Radio. It is startling that Dave Fuller was

only informed of the decis ion to site

a m o s q u e at 9 P r i n c e s G a r d e n s last

Thursday after the decision was finalised.

U is indeed woeful that the Estates Office

saw fit to go ahead without even cursory

consultation. Though it is clear that Islam

Soc have a case for a mosque, is this the

best site available? Unfortunately due to

the non-appearance of Islam Soc in the

Union Handbook or its officers in the Union

Directory, FELIX has been unable to discuss

with them their point of view.
