New Mines Mascot T H E R S M Union meet ing on

May l s t saw the unve i l i n g of the new Mines mascot , pre­sumably s t i l l c a l l e d ' D a v y . '

It s tands over two feet h igh and rumour has i t that it we i ghs over e ighty pounds. L i k e the new ' T h e t a , ' R C S U n i o n ' s mascot , i t i s 100% v i r gna l at the moment.

C u r i o u s l y enough it i s ten years to the very month s ince the o ld ' D a v y ' was f i rs t unve i l ed in 1965. Before that t ime, the R S M U mascot had been ' G u y ' a M i c h e l i n rubber man who had been around s i n c e February 1958.

C l e a r l y , I C ' s mascots must now be the envy of every other un i v e r s i t y and co l l ege in the country .

Guy R i gby was e l e c t ed to the post o f Student R e s i d e n c e Of f i ce and S u n i l Mohindra was e l e c t ed as the Cha i rman o f the Ove rseas Students Commi t t ee .

There have s t i l l been no nominat ions for the posts of Welfare Of f icer and A c a d e m i c A f f a i r s O f f i c e r .

THE R E F E C T O R Y Committee meeting of May 1st was dominated by the prospect of an enormous catering loss for the year ending July 1975. The running loss was believed to be £39,000 at the end of March hence it is believed that the College will want refectory price increases of the order of 20 — 30% at the end of term.

No r ea l argument took p lace s i n c e de ta i l ed d i s c u s s i o n has been put off u n t i l a s p e c i a l l y convened extraordinary meet ing of the committee next F r i d a y (May 16 th ) . A l s o to be d i s c u s s e d then are proposa ls from the Ca t e r i n g Manager , Mr Mooney, that the p r i c es of " b r ough t i n " goods such as meat p i e s , c h i c k e n p i e c e s , yogurt e t c should be i nc r eased immediately because the prof i t margin has a l l but d i s a p p e a r e d . l t i s known that IC U n i o n reps on the committee w i l l try to oppose m i d - s e s s i o n a l i n c r e a s e s , but their chances of s u c c e s s are d im in i shed by the enormity of the ca te r ing l o s s .

In recent years th is ca te r ing l o s s has been covered by the surp lus on the bar and wine c e l l a r a c c o u n t s . It i s under­stood that these are expected to be about £10,000 and £6,000 . The shor t fa l l th is year i s expec ted to be about £20,000 and th i s w i l l more than w ipe out a l l reserves from prev ious years put a s i d e for necessa r y maintenance and replacement of furniture and equipment .

The meet ing ended wi th the C a t e r i n g Manager r eques t ing an inter im inc r ease of 20 on beers . T h i s was to cover the budget i nc r ease of e x c i s e duty w h i c h the brewer ies have p a s s e d on to the C o l l e g e . It was po inted out that, on top of t h i s , b r e w e r i e s were

i n c r e a s i n g p r i ces by 1 — 2p. D a v i d S i n c l a i r , the student

Cha i rman of the B a r Commit t ee , argued for not p a s s i n g on any inc rease at the moment s imp ly because the sheer s i z e of even the in te r im sugges t i on wou ld be very d i f f i cu l t to cove r on a s tudent i n c o m e . He is known to want to ho ld p r i c es down u n t i l the end o f term i f p o s s i b l e . Short shr i f t was g i v en to this idea by the committee but after heated argument and support from the I C U P r e s i d e n t , Trevor P h i l l i p s , Mr S i n c l a i r proposed do ing noth ing before the ex t ra­ordinary meet ing on May 16th w i th the r ider that the B a r Commit tee s h o u l d meet i n the

FIRST AN explanation. There was no FEL IX on Wednesday for the simple reason that our main priority this week has been to finish the printing of PHOENIX, the ICU arts magazine'. If we do not get it done in the very near future, then its actual publication will be seriously at risk. Hopefully, the hard grind that has been done in the past few days will bear fruit with the availability of PHOENIX within the next two weeks.

* I was rather puzzled, nay displeased, by the

appearance of a memo from the College Registry to self-supporting students (including overseas students) proclaiming the increase of £70 in the sessional fees. I understand that THIS INCREASE HAS NOT Y E T B E E N A P P R O V E D BY THE GOVERNING BODY hence the memo is being blantantly presumptuous.

As regards the fee increase itself the Overseas Students Committee is planning action in the form of a petition and possibly a picket of the Governing Body meeting on May 23rd. Anyone interested should contact Chris Kourouniotis in the Maths Department.

* Where has all the controversy gone? Has everyone

fallen into a dull stupor due to impending exams? Where are all the literary giants who onced graced the FELIX letters column with their pearls of wisdom? And who is Nigel Reditt anyway?

Cather ine G i l l

Pause for thought.

A L T H O U G H I hate to begin on the d i scordant note of c r i t i c i s i n g F E L I X , I feel I must point out to the general pub l i c (?) that contrary to what they may have been t o l d , I am not Boadshee t Ed i t o r , but something qu i te d i f ferent , yes you ' ve guessed the obv ious mis take . . . I am in fact the IF Broadsheet Ed i t o r . B e i n g Broadsheet Ed i t o r means that it f a l l s to my unhappy lot to en t i ce works of l i terary ta lent from the a l ready overwork­ed students at I F . T h i s gets inc reas ing l y d i f f i cu l t as the longer you have been here in French South Kens ing ton , the more d i f f i cu l t it is to remember how to wr i te and even express onese l f in E n g l i s h ! I hope therefore that you w i l l e x c u s e any grammat ica l errors .

However , let us press on to more in te res t ing th ings . How wou ld you l i ke to be introduced to yet another member of IF Un ion who was , unfortunately omitted from that exh i l a ra t ing and insp i r ing a r t i c l e wr i t ten by our i l l u s t r i o u s P r es iden t . May I introduce L i s e Brat ton, our Accommodat ion Secre tary . Many of you might say , not only have

I no idea who L i s e Bratton i s , I haven ' t a c l u e who any of the other members of IF Un ion are e i ther . The remedy, gent lemen, is in your own hands , get yourse l v es over here to IF and v i s i t us in the Un i on Room. It 's a lways a p leasure to see new f a c es . However , it may have to be a l i gh tn ing v i s i t as due to the mountain of work we are required to get through, we are l imi ted to only hal f an hour for l u n c h . Y o u may be sure that th is inv i ta t i on has the b l e s s i n g of 'mon capitaine' who keeps us a l l in order.

A n d now I 'd l i k e to thank you a l l for wa t ch ing my l i t t l e show here today, if you ' v e enjoyed it . . .don ' t m i s s next week ' s e x c i t i n g ins ta lment .

REVIEW: Dramsoc T H E I M P E R I A L C O L L E G E entry in the 20th Sunday T i m e s

Students ' Drama F e s t i v a l was an exce l l en t product ion of Tom Stoppard 's play 'Albert's Bridge!' The a c t i o n moved very smoothly among a number of s imp l e se t s on the large s tage , w i t h the rusty brown sca f f o l d ing of 'Albert's bridge a s a constant backdrop . A l b e r t , a ph i losophy student turned bridge painter-poet was f ine ly portrayed by E r i c S t o v e l l . He p layed the word-intox icated Stoppard charac ter w i th p rec i s i on and a fine s ense of the poet ic pseudo-v i s i on of th is b r i l l i a n t l y - c o n c e i v e d charac t e r . The b lunder ing c i t y off i c i a l s who hired A lbe r t to paint the vast bridge s ing l e -handed ly were v i v i d l y dep i c t ed , and the rapid- f ine Stoppard g ive and take of their committee s e s s i o n s was handled in an e xh i l a r a t i ng f a sh i on . Of par t i cu lar note were John Woodfin as the committee cha i rman , and Z i g g i Kronbergs as F i t c h , the f lus tered , e f f i c i ency - obsess ed accountant . Mike Stanger and Karen W i l l i s were very good a s h is s u c c e s s f u l father and s u c c e s s -oriented mother. T h e f i na l s c e n e , in w h i c h an army of painters approach the br idge, was marked by very fine sound e f f ec ts ; and Stoppard 's v i s i o n of a wor ld so crowded that people c an only move upwards into the higher reaches of 'Albert's' br idge is b r i l l i a n t l y conveyed .

R a c i a l Discrimination ? AN H ILARIOUSLY SEXIST POINT O F VIEW

FROM K A R E N G A D D

IMAGINE H a l l p l aces are a l l o ca t ed not on the male/female bas i s but on

a B r i t i s h / F o r e i g n b a s i s . The percentage of p l aces for foreign s tudents is a lways too low to match the number of foreign s tudents who ought to be in h a l l . No-one protests ; no-one minds ; anyway B r i t i s h students need more look ing after: tbey m i s s their M o t h e r s .

Fo re i gn s tudents are trained to look after themse lves — of course lots of foreign s tudents do get a t tacked and raped (even male foreign students? — Ed.) in London streets after dark . But c ' e s t la v i e i t ' s a l w a y s happened.

We l l , one day represent ing the foreign s tudents , a te r r i f y ing agg r e ss i v e f igure known round C o l l e g e as 'Lady Anne' protests and gets the. % of p l aces in h a l l s for foreign students ra i s ed so that for once they have more p laces than they should .

The outcry is a m a z i n g . In a s p e c i a l su rp r i s e i s sue of F E L I X "Racial Discrimination" i s proc la imed and everyone is s h o c k e d , i nc lud ing members of the Jo in t Commit tee a ga ins t Sex i sm and F a c i s m . P ro t e s t s are made a l l over C o l l e g e and the rumour spreads that ' L a d y A n n e ' has gone too far th i s t i m e .

Of course it cou ldn ' t happen. We are much too en l i gh tened to be so petty and sma l l minded . We a l l understand about R a c i a l D i s c r i m i n a t i o n and we a l l know i t ' s a 'bad th ing ' - no-one in their right mind would comp la in that there Is r a c i a l d i s c r i m i n a ­t ion aga ins t E n g l i s h s tuden t s . Compared w i th what foreign students face i t ' s l aughab le .

But w i th s exua l d i s c r i m i n a ­

t ion i t ' s di f ferent. Of course there 's nothing wrong w i th i t . It 's funny . Men have been sn igger ing at it for c en tur i e s and even women often see the j oke . But now sexua l d i s c r i m i n ­at ion has taken on a new s i n i s t e r form. "DISCRIMINATION AGAINST MEN." Suddenly nobody sees the joke anymore . It 's a s e r i ous i s s u e : the men at IC gather together in the bars to moan about how oppressed they are.

The ques t i on is - where ' w i l l it s top? If you ' re not ca r e fu l , you might f ind the kn i cke r s in the Un ion Bar rep laced by V ' — fronts — w i th their t i t i l l a t i n g ' contrast co l our e l a s t i c . T h e p ic tures in F E L I X might feature something l i ke "Mike — this handsome hunk hails from Chemistry" e t c . Pe rhaps even the lewd s e x i s t enter ta inments offered in C o l l e g e Revues w i l l be threatened. T h e r e ' l l be no end to it un l e s s i t ' s s t opped . Men of IC un i te , your pos i t i on is threatened. S t i ck out those puny ches t s of yours and asser t your mascu l ine r i ghts . Fo r who knows , if you let the women of th i s co l l e ge c l a i m their b a s i c r i gh ts , it might lead anywhere .

Besides if you give them an inch they'll discover that there isn't anymore.

I F Y O U are one of these a s t r o l o g i c a l f reaks wi th exams coming up, watch out! You haven ' t a chance — at l eas t , not w i th a par t i a l e c l i p s e of the Sun on Sunday morning. Y e s , the d i e i s c a s t , and at 6.54 a.m. the Moon w i l l beg in i t s passage ac ross the so lar d i sk f irst appear ing as a s m a l l n i ck out of the top r ight-hand s i d e . By 7.19, as the e c l i p s e reaches i t s mid­point the Sun w i l l have taken on the appearence of a L u m i n o u s Mooney (?) beefburger wi th a large b i te out of i t , so i f you s t i l l c r aw l i ng homewards at that t ime, don ' t worry — i t ' s not.

Those eager to observe the e c l i p s e are not a d v i s e d to use t e l e scopes or b inocu la rs d i r e c t l y on the Sun — it tends to cause ho l es in the back of the head. F a r safer and much more convenient i s to project an image from the eyep i ece on to a sheet of paper. If you haven ' t got an o p t i c a l instrument, don ' t look d i r e c t l y w i th the naked eye. Some o ld photographic nega­t i v e s or co lour s l i d e s that " d i d n ' t come o u t " are use fu l for br ie f l o oks , but i f you want to stare at i t any length of time f i l l a bucket w i th water and watch the r e f l e c t i on .

B y 8.18 the e c l i p s e w i l l be over and the Sun who le aga in . Students are not reputed for ear ly r i s i n g on Sunday mornings, but weather permit t ing , th i s shou ld be something worth get t ing up for.

L A S T S A T U R D A Y , the U n i v e r s i t y of L ondon he ld i t s A t h l e t i c Champ ionsh ips at Motopur P a r k A t h l e t i c Ground . A strange p l a c e , you may say , to see the Imper ia l Co l l e g e C ro s s -Coun t r y team, but they get around you know. Anyway , the team and a few f r iends were there at 11.00 am to see what c ou ld be done about G u y ' s H o s p i t a l , who had won the trophy for the l a s t ten y ea r s .

The day started s l ow l y for the IC C C C , main ly due to the preponderance of middle-d i s tance runners in the team. The f i r s t two events were the Long -Jump and the 100m hea ts . In the long-jump, Pe t e Johnson and Dave Houlbrooke fought hard for l a s t p l ace and f in i shed 11th and 12th, p a c k i n g w e l l at the r ear .

Pe te ran h i s next event at marathon speed but s ince i t was the 100m he did not get a p l ace i n the f i n a l .

I C ' s f i r s t points of the day came from K e v i n Brady , who ran a fast 3000m s teep l echase to f i n i sh second behind U L ' s t op runner, Mart in Knapp . G a i n i n g more points for IC and ho ld ing off the oppos i t i on was Ian E l l i s who ran w e l l , r ecover ing from an a p p a l l i n g start to f i n i s h fourth.

In the f i e l d events , the Cross -Count r y team l a c k e d s t y l e but made up for that by determinat ion, the only two f i e l d events we d i d not cove r were the hammer and the h i g h jump.

The next t rack event was the 3000m wa lk i n wh i ch we had four en t r i es . Rob A l l i n s o r i , hav ing neg lected the sport for a coup le of years came back / w e l l to f i n i s h s e cond , and Ian E l l i s " f r e s h " from his s t eep l e ­chase supr i sed everyone, i n c lud ing h imse l f by coming third but he put . i t down to t ra in ing w i th R A s h l e y . Steve Webb wa lked into f i f th p l ace to keep the other co l l e g es down,

and P a d Donne l l y f in i shed twe l th .

In a hard 800m Rob A l l i n s o n was fourth, but later i n the 5000m, he pu l l ed out a superb run to f i n i sh second behind Andy Crompton; Steve Webb f i n i shed w e l l coming s i x t h .

The 400m hurdles gave IC i ts only v i c tory of the day , Dave West w inn ing in f ine s t y l e w e l l ahead of the f i e l d , in the depths of w h i c h Ian E l l i s

f i n i shed fourth. Roy R o s s e r was the dark

horse of the IC team, nobody quite knowing his po t en t i a l . A f ter a f ine run in the 400m, where he f i n i shed second , jus t beat ing Dave West, he then proceeded to come second in the tr ip le jump.

The pos i t i ons of the va r i ous teams were read out at i n t e r va l s dur ing the afternoon and at about three o ' c l o c k i t became obv ious to us that we were se r i ous contenders for the trophy.

R e a l i s i n g that every po int mattered at th is stage, P e t e Johnson and Ian E l l i s were hurr iedly consc r ip t ed to attempt the pole vau l t , the only problem be ing neither of them had seen a po le -vau l t pole i n h i s l i f e before, let a lone used one . Pe t e and Ian had p r e c i s e l y three goes each to learn to pole vau l t and to c l e a r a bar of s i x feet i n he ight . Pe t e s tar ted f i r s t w i th a brave run, but as he s tuck h i s po le i n , h i s hands s l i d down the bar a lmost to knee he ight . H i s second attempt compr ised of a faster run up and a faster s l i d e down the po l e , and h i s third attempt would have done j u s t i c e to a spr in te r , as he breasted the bar, off the p e g s . Ian l i n ed up for h i s jumps , ran up, took off a t ta ined approx i ­mately 8 5 r and promptly f e l l sp raw l ing on the grass on the same s ide of the bar as he took off. H i s second attempt saw him c l ea r of the bar but neg lec t to let go of the po l e , and the th i rd attempt saw h im c l e a r of the bar to gain I C at l eas t one po int . B y c l e a r i n g the next he ight , and f a i l i n g at the one after, Ian managed a commendable f i f th behind s u c h people a s the B r i t i s h U n i v e r ­s i t i e s Sports champion (who can jump near ly as high as Ian po le -vaul ted ! )

The 1500m saw Steve Webb in a c t i on aga in a l ong w i th Hur r i can Hou lbrooke . T h e pace was carved out from the beg inn-
