Human errors on Handbook-IC Union foots £200 bill

Dear Fresher letter Sabbatical Handbook Editor at Harrods-storm brewing Mix-ups between the C o l l e g e Regist ry , IC Union Handbook

Editor Paul Ekpenyong, IC Union E x e c u t i v e , and the F E L I X

Off ice have cost IC Union £185'. T h i s sum fs for overtime

work by F E L I X litho-printer Ian Morse, who in one week

put in 57 extra hours, necessary to enable the Handbook

to be f inished by its deadl ine of 13th August'.

T h i s date was given to Mr Ekpenyong and F E L I X by

Registry v ia IC Union Honarary Secretary John (Chalky)

White; it transpired after complet ion that Registry did not

in fact require the Handbook until 20th August'. However

the Union E x e c u t i v e dec ided to trim a week off the

available time, so that they could study the Handbook in

depth, and then write a F r e s h e r s ' letter to be included in

the Registry mailing'. With this extra week at the F E L I X

unit's d i s p o s a l , it is unl ikely that overtime payments

would have been necessary; as it i s , the Handbook has

over-run its budget of £ 2 0 0 by twice that figure'.

Furthermore it seems l i k e l y

that furore w i l l deve lop over

the ac tua l content of the

Handbook; two C C U s , the

Roya l Schoo l of M ines U n i o n

Whi ls t you ' ve been away many th ings have been happen ing and F E L I X has done i ts bes t to keep everyone at IC i n the p i cu t re . There have been two P o s t Graduate ed i t ions of F E L I X , one on Ju l y 30th and the other on September 17th.

Summer Accomodation The f i r s t of these ed i t i ons reported

that the C o l l e g e Summer Accommodation

Scheme, whereby Sou ths ide and L i n s t e a d H a l l rooms are le t out to tou r i s t s and conference g u e s t s , was b e i n g run on new l i nes to ensure that the scheme w a s more f i n a n c i a l l y water t igh t , than had hi therto been the c a s e .

However there were teeth ing t roub les , as our front page story repor ted. P r e ­va len t amongst these was the ques t i on of unused meal t i c k e t s .

Many v i s i t o r s leave unused t i c k e t s in their rooms when they f i na l l y depar t . These t i cke ts had i n the pas t been used by student c l e a n e r s . A m i d s t some con fus ion th i s p r a c t i c e was s topped by Domes t i c Secretary Cap ta in L i n d l e y .

There was a l s o some uncer ta in ty at to how much the c l eane rs shou ld be p a i d ; at the end of the f i r s t week they got 7p l e s s than l a s t year !

NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION

NEW FORMAT Let 's get the formalities over; Welcome to IC- this is F E L I X or This is IC, and you're welcome to FELIX.(At least

one of those should be in the right

order!) To those who are new here, I hope that this rag, which appears weekly during term-time, will be as a guiding light through the mists of Union and College affairs. And for those hardy perennials (told you the

fiver would work—P-P), hope you like the new format. You'd better, 'cause we've paid for it now.

Seriously though, this edition represents a double first for F E L I X , the first issue to use full process colour and the first litho-ed UG issue to use a colour cover. The colour on the front, and the new banner (doesn't

it look sweet!—varitypist) will become a permanent feature, paid for by the advertising-the rate of which amazes even the bank manager.

Money Matters Many people have been pressing

for an end to the U G C self-balancing regulations on catering and residence accounts, amongst them our own Sir Brian Flowers. It seems odd that once again the U G C , a Government body, should ask universities to perform a stunt that no Government installation has recently pulled off. A stunt indeed for universities to juggle with money they don't possess. The new measures are n o t h i n g m o r e than a self-administered placebo.

For the first time in three years, refectory price increases do not hog the headlines of the Fresher's F E L I X . Mr Mooney's catering has come in for severe criticism in the last year. It's all very well knocking his efforts, but few could do better in his position—it's not half as easy as it looks. Food quality has improved in the last year, although there is still no room for complacency; many outside concerns provide comparable bounty without the long queues.

Constitutionally The Honarary Secretary's article

came into F E L I X barely a week ago,

literally as the paper went to press. I learnt then of his d e c i s i o n to include far-reaching constitutional changes in the agenda for this Thursday's Union General Meeting. These would enable the Union to sack officers, including sabbaticals, if circumstances arose where IC s t u d e n t s wished to do so. The measures also define the jobs* of sabbatical officers, particularly with regard to holiday periods. I welcome the advent of such measures, although at the time of writing, I have not been shown a full copy of the proposed changes.

H o w e v e r , I am amazed at the Honarary Secretary's timing. Sabbat­ical job descriptions and sabbatical contracts were last discussed at Council over two years ago. 1 can't remember these matters being raised at UGM, and certainly this year's Executive have not asked for Council or Union advice in preparing the changes. The late arrival of Mr.White's article precluded any extensive discussion in F E L I X on these changes.

At most there will be half an hour spent discussing the changes before voting at the UGM. That's hardly enough time to air the subject fully. Moreover, large numbers of freshers at the meeting will not know enough about the Union to assess the merits of the changes.

I don't question Chalky's good intentions in bringing up these measures, they have been sorely needed for some time. Discuss them at Thursday's UGM, but let's not vote on them until a fuller discussion has taken place.

Discount Discount

Full marks to ICU for undercutting NUS on the student discount scheme and passing on half of the commission (25p) to the students buying the cards. But where does the other half go?—to cover admin costs, says ICU. The permanent staff are salaried and are paid no extra to handle the cards. Telephone bil ls don't come into itfthey are paid by College anyway)—surely it can't cost 25p per card to post details of card purchases to Endsleigh Street. Is it a g e n u i n e saving for students or two fingers to NUS?

¥ ¥

Safer Insurance

Many of you wil l , no doubt, be replying to some of the adverts appear­ing in F E L I X , particularly the two insurance companies'. A few years ago there were some rogues in the business who spoilt the show for the respectable operators. ICU has banned the leaf-letting of halls, and other measures have weeded out the baddies. Further­more, when you write to these companies you are under no obligation—you have only asked for details. When answering any advert in F E L I X it helps both us and the company to quote the paper's name.

Our Plug

This illustrious, illustrative, and illuminous (cor!) newspaper would be half the size and twice as late but for a deadicated (sic) band of volunteer staff. F E L I X tries very hard, but is not a clique. A n y o n e , w h e t h e r interested or not, be they an academic, a secretary or a student-, is welcome to join us. Any degree of involvement is invited, from writing letters to pasting up articles to collating after closing time. After al l , it 's your newspaper and if you want to help out on it, great! Just pop into the office, or see us at the Freshers' Fair.

Ed i to r C l i v e Dewey s a y s :

'We had eight working days to

complete the magazine, since

by 2nd August FELIX had

recieved none of the Handbook

artwork—impossible without

extensive overtime.'

On the n a i l , the Handbook

was d e l i v e r e d . One month later

it was s t i l l in R e g i s t r y wa i t i ng

to be put into the m a i l i n g .

J i m L e a c h , in charge of the

ma i l i ng at R e g i s t r y , e x p l a i n s

the s i t ua t i on ; 'Normally

I tell everyone to get items

for the mailing to me by mid-

• C C C C ' C C C C ' C ^ C C August. This gives me a Jwo

week leeway before we put the

items actually into the mailing.

This year I was on holiday

until 13th September, so the

mailing wasn't started until I

returned.

Stunned

Nei ther Mr White nor Mr

Dewey knew of th is leeway.

Mr Dewey a g a i n : ' / was rather

stunned to hear that all our

work had been for nothing. Even

one extra week would have

made all the difference. More­

over, I'm certain that it would

have enabled Paul to produce

a much better publication.

'Obviously his working in

Harrods didn't help matters,

but even so the overtime could

have been avoided if we at the

FELIX unit had been better

informed by the Union. As it

was, this office was fully

stretched on the Handbook, and

we relied implicitly on the

information from Mr White.'

Incompetance

Mr E k p e n y o n g takes a more

acr imon ious l i ne : 'It shows

a marked degree of incompet­

ance, on the part of the

Honorary Secretary, that he was

unable to give the correct

completion date. This was

despite my protestations at

the time that Registry had

given me a different final

delivery date. The Union

Executive has once again

shown its low financial

priority on Union publications —

except where things go wrong.'

you w i l l spend at least three yea rs here

often the most format ive yea rs of your

F i r s t l y , l e t ' s form some ideas about

everyone s a i d ' H e r e ' s a l i k e l y look ing

I was a student in M a t e r i a l s S c i e n c e ,

and , wi th a s k e t c h y , beer -soden bra in

and set of lecture no tes , managed to

sw ing a 2:2 degree . Remember, | am an

ordinary student w i th the same ideas

and problems as a l l of you - I l i ve in

the student h a l l s ( L i n s t e a d ) , I eat in the

same re fecs (If I must) , d r ink in the same

important, sc rape a l i v i ng off the same

(1) I try to e x p l a i n ( in t wo - s y l l ab l e

words) what the h e l l I have been up to.

If you agree w i th what I have been do ing ,

or propose to d o , g i v e me the support to

con t inue .

(2) A U G M is an opportuni ty for you to

te l l me what to do (in both s e n s e s ) and to

chop me down if I go as t ray . The U G M

is an arena where a l l you have to do to

get me, or the Un ion c o l l e c t i v e l y to do

someth ing , i s to put your hand in the a i r

and speak your m ind .

Remember, your language won ' t shock

me - if you want to s tand up and te l l me

what a l ousy , foul -mouthed rat-bag I am

then go ahead ( you ' l l get a h e l l of a

rep ly , by the w a y ) . A l s o if you want to

throw bouquets (or money) then fee l f ree .

A l l you have to do i s come to the meet ing

and put your hand in the a i r . Enough of

th is Un ion b u s i n e s s . . .

L a s t l y , I try to wr i te these a r t i c l e s

every week — some week s they are

ext remely bor ing , the other week s i t ' s

just p la in bor ing . R e a d it though, at

least y o u ' l l know I'm s t i l l a round.

Another way y o u ' l l know I'm around i s

if you see someone w h i z z past you wi th a

WARNING The National Westminster Bank, local Police and

Security Officers at Imperial College are becoming

increasingly concerned at the number of thefts of

cheque books, cheque cards and credit cards taking

place on the College Premises. In the main thefts

occur from jackets left unattended in offices and

lecture rooms.

We ask all customers to ensure that all such items

are kept quite separately on their persons and that

every precaution is taken to safeguard them at all

Union) ask for a B o o k i n g s F o r m . Please

read the section marked "Conditions ot

(1) " T h e person in whose name the

should ensure that they l eave the room

after the f u n c t i o n " .

(2) (A) " M e s s e s of a human nature

(excreta, vomi t , e tc ) must be c l e a r e d u p " .

(The D i s c i p l i n a r y Commi t tee took a very

(8) " R e p a i r s or res t i tu t ion resu l t i ng

from any damage done to property in the

bu i ld ing and in e x c e s s of the amount of

P l e a s e a l s o note the a d v i c e about s p e c i a l

f a c i l i t i e s (eg s tage l igh t ing) , insurance

and performing r ights l i c e n c e s g i ven on

the form.

F u n c t i o n s w i l l not normal ly be a l l o w e d

to cont inue after midnight excep t in the

J C R , wh ich is often bookab le unt i l 2am.

Discipline & security matters T h i s rather d i f f i cu l t top ic f o l l ows on

natura l ly from the book ing of rooms,

s i n c e it is af ter func t ions that un ­

p l e a s a n t n e s s often o c c u r s . I wou ld warn

everyone us ing the Un ion that the E x e c ­

ut ive are not amused by exc re ta and

vomit in the rooms, by broken furni ture,

graf f i t t i on w a l l s , forced doo rs , smashed

c l o c k s and v a n d a l i s e d te lephones that

too f requent ly accompany the use of

Un ion rooms, e s p e c i a l l y by ce r ta in c l u b s

and s o c i e t j e s ( w h o s h a l l remain name less ) .

We a l s o take a d im v iew of the defacement

of nominat ion papers, the tear ing down of

n o t i c e s and " s t r e a k i n g " through the

Un ion bu i Id ing .

My own powers and r e s p o n s i b i l i t i e s are

set out in the Un ion B y — L a w s . I may

suspend any member ot the Union from

the use of Un ion f a c i l i t i e s for up to

24 hours . Once I have done th i s , I

expec t the i nd i v i dua l s concerned to

leave the bu i ld ing at once. I s h a l l then

O R A N G E

M O L E use what the law d e s c r i b e s as " r e a s o n a b l e

f o r c e " to ev i c t the m i s c r e a n t s ; s i n c e I

a m ' of rather s l i gh t bu i ld and not as

muscu la r as large F o o t b a l l / R u g b y p layers

(oops! ) , I hope that other members of

the Un ion w i l l a s s i s t me. B rendan , the

Ba r Manager , is very handy w i th the

hur l ing s t i ck wh ich he keeps behind the

bar, s o I don ' t fo resee any d i f f i c u l t i e s

t h e r e ! O N L Y UNDER THE MOST SERIOUS

CIRCUMSTANCES WILL I CALL THE

POLICE. The last th ing I want i s to

g i ve the Un ion a reputat ion a s a rough-

house — anyone who th inks that th is

i s in fact what it i s , had better keep

away from the U n i o n before h e / s h e i s

suspended .

Noticeboards etc. P l e a s e respect the Un ion no t i ceboards

both old and new. See C h a l k y ' s a r t i c l e

for the P u b l i c i t y R u l e s — these app ly to

a l l U n i o n a reas . P l e a s e make sure that

pos te rs are removed after the event -

otherwise you will be fined.

Beit Quadrangle Unfor tunate ly , dur ing the next twe l ve

months the Quad w i l l look rather

uns igh t l y , s i n c e the g rass -mud areas

are to be dug up and new d ra inage ins ta l l ed .

Then the g r a s s w i l l be reseeded around

E a s t e r and th is shou ld be look ing good

by next Oc tober . P l e a s e keep off these

areas wh i l e the work i s under way .

Committee rooms The Un ion has spent a great dea l of

money (over £16,000) in bu i l d ing and

fu rn ish ing the Wel fare Cen t re and

Commit tee Rooms . The latter are the

" B r o w n R o o m " , " G r e e n R o o m " and the

" O r a n g e R o o m " , as above . T h e s e rooms

should be used for commi t tee meet ings

and sma l l gather ings — p lease do not ask

for the common room, u n l e s s you need

a room for about 50 p e o p l e .

Defects & complaints If you have any comp la in t s about the

bu i ld ing or f ind that someth ing w i l l not

work, eg doors , taps , p inba l l m a c h i n e s , or

if you come a c r o s s damaged furni ture of

any k ind , p l ease come to my o f f i ce and

enter the problem In the " d e f e c t s b o o k " .

Keys

C o u l d a l l ho lders of keys to U n i o n

rooms p lease g i ve me a l i s t of the keys

in your p o s s e s s i o n ; eg O p s o c , D ramsoc ,

S t o i c , J a z z C l u b , A C C , S C C , R C C ,

S c a b , Gra f f i t t i , e t c . I am par t i cu la r l y

in terested to know which ' k e y s have been

lost.

Fire & emergency The C o l l e g e are pa r t i cu la r l y wor r ied at

present by the danger of bombs be ing

planted in or near the c o l l e g e . If it i s

announced over the pub l i c a d d r e s s that a

bomb is s u s p e c t e d in the U n i o n , for

goodness s a k e — get out(!) through the

nearest ex i t and round to the other s i de

of the A lbe r t H a l l , where one i s reasonab ly

she l tered from a b l a s t . A f te r the recent

f i re in the Concer t H a l l , w e ' r e a l i t t l e

concerned about f i re p recau t i ons .

P l e a s e take care - no smok ing in the

Concer t H a l l , e s p e c i a l l y on s tage , do

not tamper wi th any e l e c t r i c a l apparatus

and use the ash t rays s u p p l i e d for your

dog e n d s . It is a d i s c i p l i n e o f fence to

tamper w i th f i re e x t i n g u i s h e r s or hoses

p l e a s e s top others from us ing them;

you have been warned!

Union facilities P l e a s e note the improvements we have

made in the Un ion th is summer; the new

Poo l T a b l e , the Pho to B o o t h , the P i n b a l l

M a c h i n e s and (I hope) the repai red

t e l e v i s i o n (parts are due to ar r ive any

day at t ime of wr i t i ng ! ) . P l e a s e look

after these i tems! If they do not work,

p lease ref ra in from k i c k i n g them — or I

might k i c k you !

F a r too much emphas is has been p l a c e d on nuc lea r deve lop ­ment and far too l i t t l e on a l te rnat ive t e c h n o l o g i e s , s a y s the R o y a l C o m m i s s i o n on Env i ronmenta l P o l l u t i o n , whose s i x t h repo r t . 'Nuc lea r P o w e r and the E n v i r o n m e n t ' , was p u b l i s h e d in mid-sepember . T h e report was prepared under the cha i rmansh ip of S i r B r i a n F l o w e r s .

A s expec ted the C o m m i s s i o n has warned the Government aga ins t nuc lea r e x p a n s i o n un t i l the problems of d i s p o s a l and conta inment of both s o l i d -and l i qu id - t ype w a s t e s has been adequate ly s o l v e d . T h e use of f u e l s , such as P lu ton ium i s f o o l i s h , s a y s the report, when no cer ta in method of e l im ina t i n g env i ronmenta l p o i s o n i n g e x i s t s .

N u c l e a r e x p a n s i o n , s ta tes the report wou ld imply the

N u c l e a r c a u t i o n

u r g e d by R e c t o r use of fast -breeder reac tors on a large s c a l e , and a 'p lu ton ium economy ' in wh i ch th is e lement wou ld prov ide a p r i n c i p a l fue l for energy supp l y . T h e deve lop ­ment wou ld a l s o have po ten t ia l i m p l i c a t i o n s of another k i n d . World growth in nuc lea r power wou ld be l i k e l y to f a c i l i t a t e the p ro l i fe ra t ion of nuc lea r weapons . There wou ld be the r i s k of ter ror is t ac t i on aga ins t nuc lea r i n s t a l l a t i o n s us i ng f i s s i l e ma te r i a l s , e s p e c i a l l y p lu ton ium, as threats aga ins t s o c i e t y . S i r B r i a n has made c l e a r before h i s o p i n i o n that the ques t ion i s n o t , whether

te r ror is ts might s e i z e a nuc lea r i n s t a l l a t i o n or cons ignment of p lu ton ium, but when . T h e t igh ten ing of p resent secu r i t y measures i s s t rong ly urged.

So the F l o w e r s report does not see the need to expand

nuc lear power to the l e v e l of a major energy producer in the near future. I ns tead , it recom­mends reseach into and the employment of a l t e rna t i ve means of energy p roduc t i on . T h i s , says the C o m m i s s i o n , shou ld be regu la ted by a new Government body set up s p e c i f i c a l l y wi th t h i s o b j e c t i v e .

Union Bar - A PERSONAL VIEW FROM A P.A.

T o put it p l a i n l y , in words of

not more than two s y l l a b l e s ,

the Un ion Bar l i v e s in the

bottom r ight hand corner of

the Un ion B u i l d i n g , but, as you

may e x p e c t , there i s more to it

than just that. In a c o l l e g e

wh ich boas ts more bars than

any other in the count ry , (and

that i n c l u d e s the un i ve r s i t i e s )

there has to be a good reason

for one in par t i cu la r to be

s ing led out as ' T H E B A R ' .

On sw ing ing through the

double doors , of w indowed

p l ywood and oak ( r e s p e c t i v e l y )

the R o m a n t i c ' s immediate v i e w

i s s tunn ing . T w o la rge oak

tab les , a coup le o f sma l le r ones

and many bare wooden s t o o l s ,

in front o f a bar spann ing the

width of the room. But it i s

beh ind the bar that th i s Roman­

t i c ' s eye w i l l t rave l f i rs t , for

it i s there, beh ind th is much

used counter , wi th i ts ample

d i spensa ry o f a l e s and lage rs ,

that you w i l l see the f ines t

arrangement of pewter -ware,

not jus t in a c o l l e g e bar, nor

L o n d o n , but 'to be sure, to be

sure' in the wor ld .

F o r in th is U n i o n B a r , the

array of pewter pots represents

every c l u b c a p t a i n , cha i rman ,

p res ident and member. A n d it

i s not on ly for the ' o l d members '

of C o l l e g e that these exa l ted

p o s i t i o n s are h e l d . There

a lways seems to be room on

the s h e l v e s for ' your ' pot .

On a few rare days e a c h

year , you may be w i t n e s s to

strange s i g h t s ; peop le be ing

sk idded ac ross the aforemen­

t ioned oak tab les (take heart ,

you shou ld be so l u c k y , or so

proud) as part o f ' i n i t i a t i o n '

ce remon ies .

T h i s preamble sounds l i k e

an i nv i t a t i on — or maybe a

t rave l brochure — and that i s

what it was meant to be.

The f requenters of the bar

do not, however , take note of

the decor , nor in teres t in the

pa rapherna l i a . They are here

s imp ly to en joy , in the p resence

of f r i ends , a dr ink . The re i s no

thought o f t ry ing to l i v e up to,

or down to any s tandards —

beyond 'Don't take yoiurglass

outside, if you please.' T h e y

are jus t r e v e l l i n g in a w e l l

earned, w e l l se rved drop of

thei r favour i te t i pp l e . In the

Un ion Ba r you can dance , you

can s i n g , you c a n do anything—

or your own thing— and no-one

w o r r i e s .

And I shou ld know. I've

been here a l o n g , long t ime.

OPSOG SELL OUT A report by Roger Woodward on O p s o c ' s Summer Tour (July 24th - August 6th).

On Saturday J u l y 24th , 80 members

of O p s o c set out for the i r , now fam i l i a r ,

tour venue — B u d l e i g h Sa l ter ton i n E a s t

D e v o n . O n a r r i va l the l o c a l papers had

gone to town w i th some very w e l c o m e ,

and more impor tant ly , F R E E p u b l i c i t y .

T h e l o c a l p ress hoardings read " P i r a t e s

at B u d l e i g h " and we knew we were in

for a fan tas t i c recep t ion .

T h e opening n ight , normal ly on ly

open ing night recept ion when a l l the

aud ience was i n v i t e d to 'meet the

company ' was an u n c a l c u l a t e d s u c c e s s .

T h e response was ma in ta ined throughout

the fortnight and for the f i rs t t ime, we

managed to s e l l 2250 t i c k e t s — the

maximum.

A s u s u a l the midd le weekend was

o c c u p i e d by rehea rsa l and performance

of our Cha r i t y C o n c e r t . T h e Cho rus

performed the E a s t e r Hymn from C a v a l l e r i a

R u s t i c a n a by M a s c a g n i , w i th the s o l o

sung by Sa l l y H e s l o p . There f o l l owed a

s e r i e s o f exce rp t s from ' T h e Water

M u s i c ' and a group of madr iga ls sung

by members of the S o c i e t y . T h e second

s k i l l f u l p roduc t ion of P e t e r M i l l s ,

performer rather than a man behind the

s c e n e s .

There f o l l ows a t ranscr ip t of a

revue p u b l i s h e d in the Exmou th &

E a s t Devon Journa l on Saturday Augus t

7 th : -

The Zoo was the one-act curtain

raiser. It is a slight piece intended as a

satire on Grand Opera. However the

libretto of BC Stevenson lacks the

trenchant humour of Sullivan's more

usual collaborator, and although it was

pleasant entertainment, its presentation

was mianly of historical interest.

I think it was a very wise move to

set the scene in 1905, (the opera was

first produced in 1875) as that era of

decaying empire seems wholly appropriate

to the melodramatic proceedings. 1

thought I could detect a hint of the

music-hall in some of the staging, but it

may have been coincidence.

Although chorus and soloists all were

in good voice, Delith Brook as the lovely

Laetitia deserves especial mention. Her

quasi-Mozartian coloratura flourishes

were delightful.

The main work of the evening was of

course "The Pirates of Penzance and

and it was a first-rate production. My

hero of the evening was Roger Woodward,

who sang the Major-General's song at

such an impressive rate of knots that the

orchestra were hard pressed to keep up

with him. Teresa Quinn was a charming

Mabel and Max Taylor a convincing

Frederic.

All in all it was difficult to find faults

of much consequence, and the enthusiastic

capacity audience generated a feeling

of well-being which 1 am sure must have

been felt on the other side of the foot­

lights. The producers, Roger Woodward

and Peter Mills and musical Director

Michael Withers are to be congratulated

on the high standard they have achieved,

and I feel sure that the Society's next

visit to Budleigh Salterton will he

keenly anticipated.

Perhaps local producers of plays and

operas could take a lesson from the

Imperial College production on achieving

maximum effect from the minimum of

scenery and props.

Love and affection all the way I ' V E S E E N Joan l i ve three t imes in the

me a s an up-and-coming ar t is t who

dese rves to make the b ig t ime. Pe rhaps

I shou ld say J o a n ' s l i ve work is mesmer ic ,

her con t ras t ing reper to i re of fo lk and

camp-f i re odes l eav ing a u d i e n c e s wi th a

strange s e n s e of fu l f i lment - someth ing

you don' t expec t from a support a r t i s t .

G i v e n that Joan Armat rad ing is

pr imar i ly a s tage a r t i s t , I suppose I'm

at a d i sadvan tage when rev iew ing her

latest L P s i n c e I've heard most of the

mater ia l l i v e . However G l y n Johns (a

famous producer no less ) and Joan have

succeeded in rec rea t ing her stage

atmosphere on at leas t hal f of the L P ,

namely the f i rs t s i d e .

Another s u c c e s s of the product ion is

that J o a n ' s voca l and gui tar work are

both w e l l h i g h l i g h t e d . T h e latter i s

set of t a len ts .

The a lbum presents songs of vary ing

tempos and moods from the p rovac t i ve l y

asse r t i ve 'Down To Zero' wh ich opens

the L P , to more gent ly romant ic b a l l a d s

l i ke 'Help Yourself and 'Love and

Affection'. The latter i s my favour i te ;

it must be the most natural song on the

L P , wi th the s tage atmosphere p r e c i s e l y

reproduced. T h e song gradua l l y u n v e i l s

Out of the L P ' s nine, songs only

four are worth t a l k i ng about . The best

the a l b u m ' s las t t rack; by that t ime I'd

got su i tab ly naused-of f af ter many a

second-ra te t rack . T h i s t rack though i s

superb just for F a i r w e a t h e r ' s v i r t uoso

Other good ie s are 'Natural Sinner';

'nuff s a i d and ' L a y It On Me , wh ich

'Beginning From An End', a f ine b r a s s /

i ts s tage e x c e l l e n c e i s 'Water With The

m i r a c l e s .

In compar ison to the f i rs t s i d e the

second is a l i t t l e s h a l l o w in f e e l i n g ,

al though J o a n ' s somewhat innate s e n s e

of rythm, prevalent throughout the L P ,

comes to the fore in th i s s e c t i o n . T h e

best t rack here i s 'Like Five' ab ly

Sch s Roses? Whi ls t a ided and abetted by a f ine set

of m u s i c i a n s J o a n ' s ta lent shows through

remarkably w e l l on th i s L P , and the

smal l point i s that the album gradua l l y

w a l k s up behind you and grabs you

to ta l ly and wi thout warn ing after about

s i x p l a y s . So beware IT GROWS O N Y O U .

gui tar instrumental number comple tes the

en joyab le t r a c k s .

The rest of the L P is rather s ec ond -

rate, drab and ted ious and my ears

were p leased to see the back of i t . Not

an album I'd recommend, even though it

does have i ts moments. Genera l l y if the

L P was go ing to s e l l w e l l it would have

done so in 1971 .

19th June aga ins t Whitton i n the

hav ing bow led the oppos i t i on

IC were then bow le d out for

69 . We d i d improve on th i s

per formance at Y e l v e r t o n and a

draw was a c h i e v e d . T h e next

game, aga ins t E x e t e r C C , saw

one of the bes t per formances

from IC throughout the s e a s o n .

However a c red i tab le 105 for 8

we even tua l l y f i n i s h e d

good per formances, notably

aga ins t London Transpor t

O v e r a l l the 1976 s e a s o n

has been more s u c c e s s f u l

turned turtle and I was trapped

underneath. I was wearing a

life jacket because I couldn't

grabbed anything that came

to hand. It seemed like an

eternity but finally I bobbed

to the surface. The rescue

boat arrived within minutes

and I was pulled out of the

water".

Compared with older people, you can buy financial independence now far more cheaply, more easily, and with almost no risk of being turned down (as older people often are).

By making a very modest investment now, you will command—when you need it—the funds for buying a home, for investing in a business or profession, or collateral for any other purpose.

Our first priority is to advise you so well now, while your budget is limited, that you will continue to seek (and of course, evaluate) our advice in the years to come, when you will be much better off.

That is why we work hard to give you, as a

student, a financial plan that is tailored to your

needs and is demonstrably favourable to you

—a plan that will put you on the best road to

financial independence.

The Students' Financial Planning Division can advise you objectively because it is entirely independent of any Investment Institution or Insurance Company. Advice is, of course, free and involves you in no obligation.

You will receive full information about programmes strictly relevant to your circum­stances if you fill in and return this post-paid enquiry form.
