Pressure of work has forced John Evans to resign his post as this year's Carnival Chairman. This, together with the failure of Dick Reeves, editor of the Car­nival rag, to return this term to College leaves the remnants of the Carnival Committee sorely de­pleted.

Both Evans ar.d Reeves had been thoroughly trained for their posts, for they acted as deputies to these posts in last terms Carni­val. Consequently none so able remains in the College to replace them.

Last year's Carnival organisers lacked experience. This year, too, it seems that some people who are prepared to devote all of their spare time to the cause are desperately needed to learn the ropes of their trades and pull off an even more successful Carnival. We wish them all the luck in the world.

MUST P MORE TICKETS TO BE

MADE AVAILABLE Concern has been aroused in the Entertainments Committee

at the number of people who got IN FREE to the Freshers' Hop on 10th October.

The Committee's chairman Phil Dean was dismayed by this fact Both the Upper Refectory and the Gym, he said, were locked.

He was aware, however, of gatecrashing through the Billiards Room and Upper Lounge; but this entry was soon sealed off. Entries were also forced via the Upper Refectory.

Mr. Dean added that he considered the hop a great success. But the experiment in swopping the sites for the beat group and the dance band failed. The group will return to the Concert Hall and the band to the Upper Refectory for the Saturday Hops.

Greater security against non-payees will be provided. The ticket release is to be raised from 420 to 500. D.I.W.

FILM SOC

k h

The next show is on Friday, 23rd Oct., and features Ingmar Bergman's "The Seven h Seal." The story takes us back to the days of the Black Death. The Knight and his Squire are on their way home from the Cru­sades. When a day's ride from home the Knight plays chess with Death, the stakes being a short respite of life. From then on the story alternates between stark drama and tragedy, the strange fate of the Knight and his friends being woven into an amazing sequence of supernatural happen­ings. This film is a winner of the Jury's Prize of Honour at the Cannes Film Festival. Also show­ing is " ' The Bespoke Overcoat," directed by Jack Clayton and starring David Kossoff and Alfie Bass. The films will be followed by an Extraordinary General Meeting which has been called to elect officers to fill vacancies on the Committee.

On 30th October, in our Special Season, we shall show Hitchcock's " Psycho." Starring Anthony Perkins, this film is as terrifying and shocking as possible. Admis­sion will be all one price, 2/-.

ZFor the last 5 or 6 years I.C. Jazz Club has been basically a club

for musicians. The result has been a very high standard of live Jazz in the Colleges, as anyone who went to the U . L . V . Jazz Com­petition or the South Side Stomps last year will recall.

DRAMSOC

Last year's Big Band have a practice blow.

This year, however, the Jazz Club is opening its membership to non-musicians—in tact to the majority of people who like jazz and want to know more about it. This term record recitals will be given on specific jazz topics and personalities, and there will be an integrated Jazz and Poetry concert and one or two jazz evenings with records and live jazz. Next term, of course, we will be holding mid­week jazz dances again.

You will be able to join the club at any of the meetings, and if you like jazz I hope you will find the programme for this year both interesting and informative. Our- aim will be to develop and to broaden interest in jazz, and if you have any suggestions or would like any more information come and see us any lunchtime in the Jazz Room (above the Union Bar).

We made a mistake on Freshers Night. We sent a poster to Bed­ford. It was quite a party.

The Christmas Production is to be " A Man for A l l Seasons " by Robert Bolt. This is the most am­bitious production we have done for many years. It will tax us all, in acting, staging and effects. Bedford Camaraderie

There will be a play visit during the next few weeks to one of the West End Theatres (as yet unde­cided). By booking large numbers of tickets we get them cheap. These visits are open to all mem­bers of the College. We shall try to get Bedford along too.

I am very keen to form a Revue and Cabaret Group in close asso­ciation with Dramsoc. To this end I am forming a library of such material as a stimulus for ideas. If anyone is interested please get in touch.

Our most ambitious and excit­ing plan is to make a film in place of our usual Easter Production.

The idea that having an account with a nation-wide bank like the

Midland is something reserved for people of substantial means is a

fallacy. So also is the belief that banks are interested only in those

who are older and already established. The Midland Bank is inter­

ested in Y O U — and all young people like you. You would find a

bank account extremely useful for, besides the convenience of pay­

ing bills by cheque, you will find that it helps you to keep track of

your expenditure.

FRESHERS'

HOP

One of the Union's least illus­trious. . sacred cows is the Freshers' Hop. The purpose of this assembly seems to be to con­vince the Freshers what a wild, swinging time they can have in tbe great Metropolis. In fact, it must surely drive them back to the realms of Brown Baggerdom.

This year's was typical: On arriving you found hordes of people milling round the entrance, looking for somewhere to go. Because sign-posting was inade­quate or non-existent, only pre-knowledge or word-of-mouth could enable you to deposit your coat.

BEAT v. SWING After fighting their way upstairs,

people were allowed to trickle into

THE CATTLE MARKET the Hop. On turning right into the Concert Hall you were con­fronted by the sight of the Phil Jennings band, whose members outnumbered the audience. No doubt "Tea for Two" and "Small Hotel " went down a bomb at the 1934 Freshers' Hop, but tastes change.

You saw some people drifting upstairs and aimlessly followed them, to find the real hop in the upper refectory. The Saracens were making up any deficiencies in quality by sheer volume.

The Upper Refectory was jam­med with seemingly hundreds of people. The thought of the great open spaces in the Concert Hall made you wonder why the organ­isers knew no better.

How reading The Observer can help the man who's

undecided about his career

Every Sunday, The Observer is fill of the best kind of vocational guidance. Politics. Art Industry. Finance. Science. The Observer looks at them ill without bias.

What are the growth industries in •••he north-east ? What does the average advertising executive earn at thirty? How many management trainees be"ome managers?

Reading The Observer will give you answers to this sort of question. If your present Sunday newspaper seems to confine its realism to the appointments page, try The Observer, with its new colour magazine, this Sunday. Reading it could not only make you more aware. It could also help shape your future.

DISMAL FAIEURES As expected, the boys outnum­

bered the girls, but happily the Brown Baggers were out in force —.supervising but not deigning to take part in the dancing. So there were a few girls in circulation. Unfortunately, most looked as if they had been brought by a relay of horse-boxes from Bedford Col­lege.

The Saracens were belting out Rolling Stones numbers—some were quite well done, but the butchery they made of " King Bee" had to be heard to be credited. Significantly, Beatle numbers—all last year's rage— were now unheard.

If you wanted a drink upstairs, you were disappointed—there was no bar in the upper refectory. You had to fight your way out and downstairs to the bar in the Crush Hall. This was in such de­mand that the beer ran out early.

SO THIS IS LONDON !

The only way to get a break from the overpowering heat and crouching in the Upper Refectory was to go to the Concert Hall, where a very few people were waltzing to the strains of Phil Jennings. You felt sorry for this band, but " gig " musicians must be pretty insensitive.

All in all, the Hop cannot be recorded as a great success and only give Freshers a false view of College life and London life gen­erally.

What went wrong? The sign­posting was poor. The boards should have interchanged—this could have been done at an inter­val. Most people were upstairs, but there was no bar there—and the downstairs bar ran dry early.

VITAL CHANGES

Let's face it, organising a dance is far from easy. And precious

little thanks the organisers received for their work, too. The greater pity, therefore, that so much of their efforts should be wasted.

Surely some lessons could have been learnt from last year. Bands of Phil Jennings style, however good, are just not appreciated. Their hire was surely almost a complete waste of money.two bands necessary? Would it not be better to hire just one bet­ter-known group. Manchester and Liverpool Universities do it—why can't we? This group could play in the Concert Hall with sound " piped " to the upper refectory. Any unused costs could be met by increased entrance and better checking—too many came to this year's Hop for nothing.

Although it is difficult to find volunteers, surely it is worth the effort in order to man a bar in the upper refectory. It has been done before—your reporter has served at such a bar.

Judging by the hordes of hand-painted posters be-spangling the college, people would be found to write a few simple direction signs.

WIDEN THE NET

Must the dance be such a cattle-market? The girls look like the dregs of Bedford College Life (with one exception). There are far nicer girls—not just the eternal students either—at the hostels around Cromwell Road. Yet there were very few girls from round there. Some more advertis­ing there would introduce some variety, at least.

We do not say the organisers could have put more work into the Hop—it should, instead, have been better—devised. And be­fore any cries of "armchair critics," don't forget that many a problem is best solved by people with an impersonal outside view­point.

F O C U S on Wellsoc The first meeting of the session was an outstanding success for

Wellsoc. This bodes well for the society, which is only now enter­ing its "second year. Attendance at meetings last year was fairly good, and it is to be expected that with such a wide choice of possible subjects the H . G . Wells Society will continue to expand during this year.

The key to this expansion is the programme of speakers, and in this respect the future of the society seems assured for this term at least. The programme could hardly be more varied, with talks on subjects ranging from Forensic Science to venereal dis­eases, from films on the American Space Research Programme to Professor Buchanan talking about traffic. A n eminent doctor is to discuss his attempts to reproduce the conditions prevalent at the time of the birth of life on Earth, and Mr. R. M . Ogorkiewicz of the Mech. Eng. Dept. of I.C. is to speak on H . G. Wells and the in­vention of the tank.

Whether the society will attract the attendance it deserves is a matter for some speculation. Last year it received a certain amount of bad publicity because it ap­peared to revolve around Tizard Hall. However it is perfectly pos­sible for anybody to take an active part in the running of Wellsoc. In any case in a society of this sort it matters very little who is actually responsible for the organ­isation of the meetings. If the members want a particular speaker or subject for a Wellsoc meeting then it is up to them to say so.

No doubt there are still many people in the College who don't attend Wellsoc meetings because they don't really know what the society is. If you are in doubt, it would be worth your while going to one meeting to find out for yourself.

Evil Eye Magic or Science? This ques­

tion was raised at the first Wells Soc. meeting of the year on Mon­day, 12th October. Dr. F. J . Nahapiet, a consultant hypnotist, aroused considerable interest in his short talk, during which he described the growth of hypno­tism as a medical science and how, in past centuries it was con­sidered evil and magic. A great number of questions from the large audience were asked, includ­ing, one about the possibility of enhanced learning under hypno­sis! Dr. Nahapiet then demon­strated the basic hypnotic pheno­mena, including anaesthesia and age regression, with his subject with whom he has appeared on television. The talk was followed by further discussion over coffee.

Next Monday the speaker will be. Dr. W. D. Furneaux, Director Research & Statistics Group, L .C .C . and will be speaking on University Entrance Procedures.

Dear Sir, I watched with great dismay the

attempts of all the societies to destroy the newly decorated in­terior of the Union on Freshers' day. Isn't it about time that the Union publicity officer tried to exert a modicum of control over the flood of advertising!

There should be regulations en­forced preventing long term ad­vertising, the Art club were the worst offenders last yearl There should also be an attempt to keep the size of, posters small and stop Guilds from plastering every hoarding with hideous adverts for union meetings and other beery activities. Size is not the ultimate aim of an advertiser, it is to pro­duce an eye catching poster. Can't the Union Executive do something about this?

Yours faithfully,

D. Jones

s Dear Sir,

I would like to bring attention through your columns to those in charge of the Union that it is time that the radio in the lower Lounge was replaced; its reception is atrocious, many midget transistors are far superior; tuning is an art which takes months to achieve, and if the continuous high pitched whine continues much longer the glasses in the bar may well suffer.

A good radio is essential to listen to any music and very good radios do not cost a lot these days.

Yours faithfully,

ANTl T.V.

r Dear Sir,

Dissatisfaction has been re­gistered in many quarters concern­ing the abysmal service that is given in one of the plusher I.C. bars. It is felt that no longer must it be regarded as a privilege to be served here, let alone be treated with some civility. Suffi­cient people must be interested enough to, if not bring about a radical change, make the place a little more amenable.

Yours faithfully,

NED TEEDHAM

Those who were wise enough to join the beer and wine making soc. on Freshers Day, and who survived baptismal half pint will have a busy term ahead of them. If they can bear the thought of commercial stuff after brewing their own nectar, they will have the chance to join no less than five brewery visits this term alone.

They will be held at the rate of one a week from next week on. Unfortunately the tedium of look­ing at brewing plant must be undergone before the 'free hand­outs begin, but begin they will, and on one of them free lunch will be provided.

Be ready (members that is) to put your names on the lists which will appear soon.

There is now a college Art Club which meets regularly on Wednesday and Thursday even­ings at the Royal College of Art (behind the Huxley building), Everybody, whether absolute be­ginner or expert, is encouraged to attend and we hope they will have an enjoyable and creative evening making use of the free tuition and model provided. If you have never had the thrill of squeezing oil paint out of a tube now is the time to do it, for the very reason­able cost of 2/6d per evening—or by yearly subscription.

We hope to organize an exhi­bition of members work towards the end of the term. So please would anybody with potential exhibits get in contact with either Miss Connie Fenn or myself (M. C. Wooldridge, room 43 Garden) as we should like as. many entries as possible.

All I.C. men, and women too, are welcomed at an informal de­bate to be held at Bedford Col­lege at 730 on 28th October, when the motion will be "This house believes that the cost of belonging to N.U.S. is justified by the benefits derived from membership." Come and show how I.C. feels about this; re­freshments provided, etc.

Felix is the Newspaper of Imperial College Union. It is spon­sored by the Union and read by Union members. It is not, how­ever, a newspaper in the true sense of the word for in general it lacks news. Some may say that this is a reflection on myself and the Felix Staff. But I don't agree with this view. Almost all the Felix Staff this year are undergraduates and all have important exams during the year, so they haven't unlimited time at their disposal to ferret out news from all corners of the College. They do, however, spend as much time as possible, some even to the detriment of their academic work.

Felix over the years has grown from strength to strength, in content, presentation, sales and advertising. It should continue to do so for this year and many years to come.

However, if a better balance js to be attained more news of any kind is needed. It is up to you to help us to achieve this by you making the news and passing the word on to Felix via the Union Rack.

COMMENT Editor Walker, made a good job of the first

Felix, especially considering the lack of copy which some recruit-hungry clubs presented him with, " Squash is also played "—but of course sceptics may be forgiven for failing to see any dramatic quality whatsoever in the page one photograph.

* This year seems to have brought a particularly beautiful band of long-haired scruffily dressed teenagers to the College. I know that many people maintain that Fresher intakes get mentally younger every year, but whoever registered his date of birth as 5th Oct. 1964 surely must have been joking.

SCARVES One or two observant peopie may have noticed

that the type of scarf thai 90 per cent of I.C. students wear, cannot be purchased in the Book­stall at all. Sad to say, no one appears to mind about this enough to complain to Council, who run the place. It must be the attraction of the bus ride to Irvings in Leicester Square that does it! Per­haps just a little notice in the Bookstall warning freshers off purchasing scarves they may never use, might be in order.

UNION BUILDING While the old Union was being repainted in the

Summer, why didn't those almost illegible signs on the doors receive the same treatment? In addition, the introduction of some signposting of essential facilities might help Saturday night hop-goers among others. Anyway, the uncontrolled poster billing orgy on freshers day ruined much of the painters hard work. " First prize " again to Wells Soc. for gumming stickers over the Union Clock— its about time someone told them when to stick their posters and where.

a Another year is under way with

new undergraduates and new Union officers. Each year we set out to live up to, or better still, improve upon the actions of our predecessors.

Cynics may regard tradition as simply an excuse for doing the same old things ad nauseam. When asked why they don't come to RCS Union meetings some people say it is because they are just not interested. We can't cater for such people unless they speak up; after all, it is your money we are using to maintain this Union,

If you want to do something new then, for heaven's sake, say so—at a Union meeting for in­stance. These are informal and somewhat lighthearted, so you needn't worry about looking a fool. (Some people purposely act the fool). If you want to propose a motion, just let the Secretary know beforehand.

Maybe you have an idea that you don't want to expound in public. If this is so, then why don't you just drop in for a chat with one of the Union officers. The new executive have a diffi­cult job to do, and any way that you can lighten their burden will be greatly appreciated.

Freshers' Day

Freshers Guildsmen (and the two Fresher Guildswomen) had a good opportunity to see Guilds Union in operation when C & G T.V. produced two and a half hours of programme on Freshers Day. Our thanks to the Radio Soc. and the Drama Soc. for their help in this highly successful venture. Union Meeting

President Dave Bishop opened the first Union Meeting at pre­cisely 1.15 in Room 542 of the Mech. Block on Tuesday, Oct. 13th. When asked if the minutes should not be signed, there was a unanimous "No" from the floor. Hence the President was forced to sign the minutes. The Hon. Sec. then announced the Co-respond-ence, and elections were held.

This was followed by a strange gentleman, who claimed he was a Peeping Tom in the French Army, and proved it by giving details of Morphy Day on Nov. 4th.

Despite screaming jets and a train, Pete Moss elatedly informed the meeting that Bo would again " run " to Brighton for his annual weekend.

There was a good response to the plea, on behalf of the Lord Mayor, for Guildsmen to carry eight foot tools in the Lord Mayor's show on 14th Nov.

A n immaculately dressed " Monsieu Grote" " then showed his Autumn collection of fashions for Freshers. Especially attractive was the Sporty Morphy Day en­semble, featuring the new shorter booties with pre-stressed concrete soles arc-welded to ceramic uppers and obtainable in five pretty colours. The Yak haired

underwear featured by R.C.S. tickled most people's fancy, (especially the model's).

The climax of the show was the Guildsman's coming out evening dress for the Engineers Dinner Dance, produced in armour-plated trinitro toluene, with spectacles by Focal.

The meeting then closed, with the President undressing and suc­cessfully, if precariously, dismiss­ing the Herculean task of Boom-laking. The meeting was then adjourned till Morphy Day, on Nov. 4th.

Gentlemen of Mines take heed! Here is a breakdown of the Mines Social Calendar for the Christmas term.

Union Meeting Thursday, 15th October

By the time you receive this Felix the first Union meeting will be over. This is a significant meeting because it involves im­portant -elections including the posts of Honorary Secretary and Mines Rep on I.C. Council and changes in constitution. A re­port of this will appear in the Late News.

Freshers' Dinners This year two Freshers' dinners

will be held. The first is on Friday 16th October and is for Undergraduate Metallurgists, the second on Friday 23rd October is for Miners, Mineral Technolo­gists, Mining Geologists, and Oil Technologists. A l l Minesmen are invited to attend the " activities " in the bar after the dinners. Brighton Run November 1st

As usual " Clementine " will be in attendance on " Bo " and we wish them both a successful jour­ney.

Morphy Day November 4th After last years appearance of

60 dynamic Minesmen, R.S .M. is now, firmly established on the tow-path. This year it is hoped that at least twice the number will ap­pear and completely rout Guilds, R.C.S. and the attendant Bules. Minesmen are reminded that the object of this outing is to cheer the Mines boats to victory. Foreign Students' Visit

Following last years outstand­ing success when students from 4 European mining schools were entertained by the Royal School of Mines Union, this year the invitation has been extended to a fifth school. They will be coming to London for the week preceding the Mines Ball on December 18th, which will climax the visit.

Other important events to be noted by Minesmen include: —

Mines-Guilds Carnival— Nov. 17th.

Swimming Gala—Dec. 11th. Mines Ball— Dec. 18th.

"General Studies" as is ob­vious from the profusion of pam­phlets and notices that flood the college once a week, is an all out attempt to fill many of the yawn­ing gaps in our college education. In the three lectures that are given twice a week, something will be found to interest nearly everybody. The emphasis is naturally on the arts and current a Hairs; the standard has always been excellent, and literary lec­tures and music recitals are par­ticularly to be recommended.

As a follow up to the lectures, there are particularly invigorating weekend discussions groups chaired by eminent speakers. These are held in the sultry at­mosphere of Silwood Park, with its stimulating surroundings, and sparkling inhabitants. People seem to go to more than one of these so-called " Touchstone" weekends, so they must be worth­while.

" Touchstone," as a further sop to the arts, also organises theatre visits which include a healthy supper to which a leading theatre critic is usually invited.

A l l you have to do is to go to some of these lectures, and read the extensive hand-outs, and, if you are facing a particularly dreary weekend in dismal Batter-sea, you might find yourself down at Silwood Park, with lots to talk about, and astound your friends during the following week.

Freshers'

Hike Fourteen members of the crew,

including a record number of Freshers assembled outside the " George and Dragon " at Farn-borough, Kent, on the fine sunny morning. Chris. Waterman led the way in the general direction of South, heading for Cudham, which was eventually reached after one or two questionable pieces of map reading and tra­versing the usual quantity of footpaths, private property (what garden ?), and golf courses (4 Dunlop 2 Penfolds).

The party were suitably re­freshed at the "Blacksmith's Arms" and set off at, a much greater pace to the top of the downs and then through Cheven-ing Park to Chevening. It was de­cided to rest in a cemetery and discuss the graver issues of our forthcoming activities (giving the elder members of the party a chance to recover). We eventually gained the Polhill Arms and des­patched two members of the party to Keogh galley by car to construct a meal whilst the rest of the party followed by bus.

By the standard procedure of maps and string we estimated the distance we covered to be 12 miles. We are still calculating the mileage per pint.

E

Silwood—EC's " country house," discussion centre for the weekend

of 31 October—1 November.

H I - F I At the end of last session the

Tape and Hi-Fi Club was formed. A few meetings were held and a lot of people showed interest in the Club—a few even paying subscriptions (5/-).

The Club generally aims to satisfy the interests of those with the " hi-fi bug," a well known and rampant disease with an unpleas-int tendency to consume large sums of money. It was mainly for the poverty stricken student with an interest in this expensive hobby that the Club was formed.

The Secretary has put in many writing hours this summer trying to arrange a programme for the 64-65 session with limited success. We hope however to arrange a number of activities this year and a meeting will be held on Friday 23rd October at 5.15 p.m.—Room 342, Mech. Eng. Department, to discuss this years programme. Freshers and others not quite so fresh should come along to this meeting if they wish to join.

GENERAL INSURANCE We are sympathetic to your in­

surance needs and make it our business to get better terms for students. Probably, the most im­portant type of insurance to you is Motor and you may have ex­perienced difficulty in obtaining favourable terms for this class of insurance.

We have connections with several well established Insurance Companies where we will be able to insure your Car or Motor Cycle at a competitive premium. Even if you are already insured, allow us to obtain a compara­tive quotation for you.

Other types of policies which will be of interest to you are Per­sonal Accident and All Risks in­surance. A poUcy hac been es­pecially prepared to provide cash benefits for students who sus­tained injury during sporting acti­vities as well as everyday life. Most hazardous sports are in­cluded such as Boxing, Moun­taineering, etc., and the premiums required are extremely reason­able.

LIFE ASSURANCE The importance of Life Assur­

ance is not really evident to a young man in good health. But in only a few years one's views can change greatly. Premiums naturally increase as one gets older and any ill-health could re-Suit in a higher premium being required or possibly no terms be­ing offered.

The importance of Life Assur­ance to a young man is :—

(a) Cheaper premiums whilst in good health.

(b) The advantage of having a policy which, when one leaves College, has ac­quired value and can be used for purposes such as house mortgage and in­vestment.

(c) Protection for one's depen­dants in the event of pre­mature death.

Our Life Assurance recom­mendations are prepared from the prospectuses of over eighty Life Offices and we should be pleased to advise you on the best policy to suit your particular .re­quirements.

A reply paid card is enclosed for your attention and we look forward to having the oppor­tunity of assisting you when you return the card.

5 YEARS FROM NOW? At Turner 4 Newall we give a considerable

amount of thought to the question of a man's

future. And our graduate training scheme is

planned to be adaptable to his individual naeds

— to employ and extend his attainments fully.

You May Know Our Name But . . . just to

remind you - we are not only the dominant

asbestos group in Britain, we also hav? a I arg»

and growing stake in plastics, in insuljtion, in

mineral wool, and in glass fibre . . . all adding

up to a £100 ,000 ,000 business with some

40,000 employees. Big enough to give a man

scope. Yet, because each of our nine British

companies largely runs its own affairs, not so

big that the essential 'human touch is

endangered.

This balance is reflected in our executive

development training which, far from tying a

man down to any one fype of career —

production, sales, administration - allows him

time to discover his true potential.

This way, we invariably finu that the graduate

assumes managerial responsibility more con­

fidently - and certainly earlier - than is usual

in a modern industrial complex.

Ask your Appointments Board for further

details, or write direct to :

Management Appointments Adviser, Turner &

Newall Ltd., 15 Curzon Street, London, W.1.

The Turner & Newall Management Appoint­

ments Adviser will be visiting Imperial College

on Friday 14th February 1964. If you would

like an interview, please contact the secretary

of the Appointments Board.

Y With a large influx of Freshers this year, and a hard core of old lags, the competition for places in all teams will depend as much upon reliability and enthusiasm, as upon playing ability.

The first team's prospect in the London University competitions this year are brighter than most years. Last year's strong defence which helped the team to victory in the U . L . six-a-sides and near first place in the U.L . league, is reinforced by a county school­boy, one of two who are joining the team this season.

Highlight of the year will be the return visit of the Groeningen University team at Easter. They will be staying with us in London for a few days, prior to joining us at the Lowestoft Hockey Festi­val over the Easter weekend.

BOAT CLUB At the Freshers' reception the

Boat Club has recruited a smaller number of new members than usual. However, from first sight it would appear that their quality, both in experienced oarsmen and novices, more than makes up for their reduced numbers.

Many of the freshers oarsmen are at present rowing in their constituent college Morphy and Lowry boats. Morphy training has been approached with even more attack than in past years, and crews are at present training five days a week for the race. Guilds are resplendent with their new blades. The Mines have the strongest crews we have seen from them for a long time while R.C.S. are at present an unknown quan­tity under the practised eye of Dr. Cameron.

One serious disadvantage the club has at the moment is a shortage of coxes and anyone ex­perienced or novice, provided they weigh less than 10 St., will be welcomed to try their hand.

Are you small, quick and in­telligent, if so you could become a cox in the Boat Club. A l l training is in eights added to which coxes have full use of the boat club facilities including hot showers and bar all at reduced subscrip­tions. If you wish to cox contact any member of the boat club, or pin a note to the notice board.

Four members of the gliding club, after arousing considerable interest en route and cries of " im-nossible " from customs officials seeing a 30ft. glider trailer for the first time, arrived in Brunswick, Germany with the Slingsby " Dart," potentially one of the world's finest 15 metre sailplanes. This had kindly been lent to them by the manufacturers for the duration of a flight testing course attended by student groups from all over the Continent.

In the ensuing fortnight, the members of the group were able to fly 14 different types of gliders varying from exotic one-off con­structions by German students to a tailless French glider. They were initiated in the art of appraising the gliders quantita­tively as well as qualitatively, the diversity of gliders available en­suring that each member of the group was able to make assess­ments against a background of experience rarely obtainable.

Needless to say the enjoyment did not end with the excellent gliding available, and such items as the moonlight barbecue in which steaks were grilled over the burning remains of a glider that did not stay the rigours of the course, and the many evenings in which they were able to chat and sing with students from other European countries over a jug of ale and a " Bockwurst," immedi­ately spring to mind. The many friends and contacts made resulted in such a number of invitations to come and glide all over Europe that the gliding club could be kept busy with continental tours for many years.

The gliding, the superb hospi­tality shown and the experience gained made the expedition truly worthwhile.

RUGBY

R With ffanatical enffusiasm I.C. Sports Team

" ffagins " got off to an early start in September. The ffirst game resulted in a win for ffagins 25-3 against St. Marys. The next three games were not so successful, two being lost and one drawn. These misffortunes were possibly due to the presence of some guest players from the ffirst team. However, under new captain Tony Ffilips, training has been in progress and some of the team are ffairly ffit. On trials day ffagins (without Peed Cunningham) slaughtered Silwood Park 68-0 and look fforward to a ffantastic season.

T

E Score : I.C. 16—Police 0

Both teams played attractive Rugby but I.C. impressed as being a side with much potential. For the first match of the season the forwards and three-quarters combined well, and this win over a side which has beaten London Irish second 15 must be regarded as an encouraging pointer to our Guttridge Cup quest. The win was achieved with only 12 tit men. Ray Harris and Jenkens both be­ing off the field at some time or other. Collins obtained much of the possession from the tight and the back row seemed to be per­manently where the ball was. Tries came from Chappell, Place and Turner, Molem goalling two of them and kicking a penalty.

R The Soccer Club expect a successful season as

most of last season's 1st X I have returned, and there are also some very useful Freshers. The Freshers' Trials were well attended, and there are already three Freshers in the 1st X I . The season began with a good draw (2-2) against Borough Rd. who are always one of our best opponents. The club looks forward to a successful season.

Y The club got off to a promising start to the

season, with almost all runners in the first half of the field in the first U . L . trials. A vigorous training programme is in progress, and performances should improve further during the season. The second trials take place on Saturday 24th October, and anyone interested should contact Tony Bishop, Room 311 Falmouth Hall, or via Union Rack.

SHORT TAKES

David Reich, who last term was elected Chairman of De­bates, is continuing in this post although he has unexpectedly had to leave College for a year. He is working in Kingston but is coming to College two afternoons a week to keep the Society running. Let us hope that the Society will, this year, rise off its knees.

The Union Blue Book, the Freshers' Guide to Societies, has still not materialised. It was first promised at the beginning of Sep­tember, but, due to a variety of causes, the printers cannot give a definite date for the delivery.

It is reported that Dr. Oyneron, Warden of Tizard Hall and Reader in the Mechanical Engin­eering Dept. of C. & G. is coach­ing the R.C.S. Morphy Crew. (See Page 11).

Teething troubles: —six times in one week a lift in the new Mines extension has come to grief between floors.

***

At the Tizard coming-up dinner, alcohol failed to reach any table other than that of the Warden.

Saturday, 10th October saw the start of a new round of South Side parties lasting well into the early hours of the next day. This was in celebration of the t21st birthday of Norman Price: the President reported a total absence of complaints regarding noise, having attended a meeting that very morning concerning this dan­ger.

C & G TV— A PRIZE Monday, 5th October—yet another Freshers'

Day; more spectacular perhaps than last year's event, with exhibits in the Concert Hall, out in the Quad and right through the top floor of the Union, plus the Jazz Club in their room, heard more than seen. And everywhere a litter of vague stickers.

C & G tv was impressive, if only as proof that those concerned could maintain a good-quality picture throughout the afternoon—a worthy con­solation prize for their dismal failure at the Presi­dent's Ball last term.

1,200 ELUSIVE FRESHERS In spite of widespread satisfaction in the clubs

on their day's work, they will soon realise that they will have to step up the pressure of their sales­manship on new blood. For the 1200* freshmen and freshwomen appear to have been generally well briefed on the dangers of " all play and no work " to the extent that many aim to totally avoid any extra curricular activity.

More was on display than on any previous Freshers' Day. But the Union may find it more advantageous in future to spread its tour de force over 2 or 3 days, and so wean freshers into a balanced college life rather than in an hour or so rush them with a " take it or leave i t " impression of the Union, jolted hypnotically the next day into " work, work and nothing but work.".

D. I. W I L L I A M S * This estimate was quoted last week by the Deputy

Registrar; an exact figure was not available due to many late registrations.
