BEIT ARCH, 10:30. BE THERE! THE CAMPAIGN In opposition to the student union financing proposals reaches Its climax today with a London demonstration.

The ULU-organlsed march starts this morning In Belvedere Road (close to the offices of the Department of Education and Science) and takes a circuitous route to Hyde Park via Waterloo Station, Vauxhall Bridge, Pimlico, Victoria Station and Park Lane. It Is expected to take four and a half hours. The IC contingent leaves Belt Arch In Prince Consort Road at 10:30am this morning, although the means of transport Is as yet uncertain (Phil Cole hasn't told us).

Pie in the eye for Don! THERE WAS UPROAR in last week's IC Orchestra rehersal

when its conductor Donald M Q Monro, Warden of Weeks Hall

and Senior Warden, was hit in the face by a shaving foam "pie".

He was not amused by this as his permission had not been

obtained. As it appeared the event was performed by the

Guilds "Hit Squad", he jokingly threatened to have Dave

Gayor, Guilds President, removed from hall unless he divulged

the identity of the culprit. He advised people not to do it again

as he would be carrying a dagger and would have no hesitation

in stabbing them.

Donald

didn't

duck!

It transpired afterwards that the hit had been unofficial, and

Guilds were not responsible. Following this discovery, a series

of mass-hits ensued. The entire BE2 group were hit during a

lecture and on Thursday evening all of the Big Band musicians

were foamed, including Don Munro! A popular theory amongst

Big Band members is that Dr Munro paid for the hit and'had

himself hit so as to lessen suspicion.

Whether the week's events are connected in any way to a

cheque stub made out to City & Guilds Union for £6 in Dr

Munro's chequebook is uncertain at the time of going to press.

FEUX, November 14, 1980

"You'll find it tastes just as good coming up as it does going down.

99

Patrick Coll interviews Victor Mooney

I'd like to « fa r t by atklng you what are your

responsibilities at College?

I'm responsible for providing the Refectory service or maintaining it, subject to economic considerations, to the satisfaction of the College authorities.

So, roughly, how many meal* do you serve

each day?

Between two and two and a half thousand. It's

dropped a fair bit in the last few years.

Do you tee any reason why the numbers have

dropped?

Yes, it's a general downturn in business, every university is suffering the same. Senate House have gone down by 30% of their business and they don't rely so much on students.

So you think that students are eating a lot less?

Yes, when I first came here all the students coming to College from various schools had been having school meals, and we used to supply milk for them. We used to buy hundreds and hundreds of half-pint cartons, then suddenly school milk stopped and now hardly anybody drinks milk in the mornings. I think a trend began with comprehensive and grammar school students no longer taking school meals, and now this trend has spread to us.

I'd like you to outline your life so far. If as you aay In FELIX In May 19SS, your life as a cook didn't atari on Joe'a Stall on the Mile End Road, when did you take up catering?

In 1948.

/ think you've been to sea at a cook?

Not as a cook, no.

Have you any cures tor seasickness?

Just eat as much as you can.

When I feel seasick I find It difficult to eat.

Yes, I know, but you want to eat as much as

you can, you'll find it tastes just as good coming up as it does going down. Have you any particular memories of the

Selsden Park Hotel or the St James Court

Hotel?

Well, they were different worlds, of course.

Did you enjoy your period at the Grand

Hotel?

Harrogate? Very much. I enjoyed Harrogate.

It was a very nice area.

/� It true you started your career at Imperial as

"Union Dietician In Chief?

Well no, I started as Refectory Manager, and

that's still my title.

Do you regret coming to Imperial?

Not really. I've enjoyed the years I've been

here. I get ups and downs like anybody else, but I have no regrets.

So you think It provides a good outlet for your

abilities?

I think so, and I think I've worked at the job,

and certainly I've put as much as is humanly

possible into it. I'm not always right, of

course.

Have you ever been confused with members

of the Unification Church?

No.

So, If you were not what you are now, Is there

anything else you'd rather be, maybe fulfilling

a childhood ambition?

Oh, something like Sir Francis Chichester.

I'd like to move on to your hobble* and other

activities. What tort of music, art or film* do

you like?

I very seldom see films, but I must confess to

watching the odd late-night cowboy on the

television.

Victor Mooney: the most hated man at IC.

So that'* one of your favourite sort* ot television programme?

Yes the late-night cowboy film, which is a distraction. My musical tastes are fairly low brow I would have thought, just middle of the road stuff.

Are there any thing* that you really like or dislike?

Well, I very much like sailing, and carpentry, I

enjoy that side of my life quite a lot. I dislike

smoking, I don't like smoking at all, I find it a

terrible habit. That's probably my main

dislike.

What newspapers do you read?

The Sunday Times mainly, Telegraph and the

Evening Standard.

Do you find they give a good balance of views?

Yes, I think so. I disregard a lot of the Telegraph's views because they are like the

other side of the coin, too biased to be presentable. You read a Communist paper and you get one side and you read the Telegraph and I suppose midway between the two you get something right.

A* an aside, how do you feel about abortion on demand?

Abortion on demand?

Yes.

I don't know. I can see it happening, but it

isn't the sort of thing I'm qualified to talk

about, I can see that, as an onlooker, it's

going to happen, probably; in fact it does

happen in some places.

What about sport, do you like watching

cricket?

I don't watch much cricket.

Do you like watching rugby?

Occasionally, but not too much of it. I like the

New Zealanders. Their game is tremendous.

How do you feel about team* playing In

South Africa, do you think that'* right?

I don't think so. I think it's almost a

hypothetical question in as much as there has

been nothing going there in the last few

years. I don't think unless you go there you

are ever going to get them to break down the

laws that they have got. I mean they have

broken them down now, and I think the more

they insist on playing mixed teams, the more

chance the other people have of coming

through. And one story I used to like, and

you've probably heard it, is that the English

cricket team used to love playing in South

Africa because all the blacks used to cheer

them on. They got more support there than

they did in their own country. It must be like

the West Indians at the Oval.

Whilst we are on South Africa, how do you

feel about Aparteld In general, a* I think the

Union ha* discussed It In the past?

Oh, I think that it's a dying thing. It will die out

like all these things. It's already altered

altogether now and I think that given time it

will go. Obviously, it's not going to be fast

enough for the blacks and its going to be too

fast for the whites some how or other, like

Rhodesia is coming round.

So you think It will be a good thing?

I think it will eventually. I think its going to be

quite a few years before the blacks are

educated to the necessary standard because

until that time there is bound to be a lot more

violence and unpleasantness.

Just talking about the Union, how do you

regard It not being part of the NUS?

W9ll, they have been in and out more times

than I can remember. They keep on coming

and going.

Doe* It make much difference?

I don't think it makes a lot of difference.

Do you play much sport, like golf?

No, I used to play golf, but I find I don't get the time.

You probably had a very low handicap.

No, my handicap was about twenty-four.

/ shouldn't have thought there were many golf

clubs around College?

No, I used to play on holiday mainly.

You said you have done a bit of tailing, how

do you feel abut the current ttate of Britain's

Inland waterways?

Well, they are coming up healthy, I think.

They're improving all the time.

/ understand that you are a connoisseur of

wine* . . . .

Well, no I just enjoy wines.

I've aeen a cabinet of wine* for tale In the Sherfield Building, perhapt you could explain

to ttudentt If they can buy wine* from the

College cellar* and how they would go about It?

Yes, they can have any wine they like, six

bottles and over, and they get a 7 V 2 %

discount. I think you'll find that represents a

great deal of value on some of the wines, on

others, it just brings them down to the off-

licence price, but in general it does give a

good deal.

And they can have them for any reason?

Yes, anytime they want some, just give us a ring, or drop in, and we'll get them up for them.

On the subject of food and drink, you must

have tatted a great variety of food, do you

have, tor Inttance, a favourite Ice cream?

I like sorbets.

Do you read FELIX?

Oh yes.

Do you like It?

I enjoy it. I have to accept that it is a student newspaper, and when they write about me sometimes I feel tempted to reply. The last one wasn't too complimentary, but on the other hand, it's something that has to be written among yourselves and it's for your own therefore I have to not so much ignore it, I

C O L L E G E

DAODO AFTER OVER five years hard work, battling

against biased transistors and bureaucrats,

Imperial College Radio was granted permission

to broadcast on medium wave radio from

December 2, 1978. To celebrate our second

'birthday', IC Radio is holding a Birthday Party

in Stan's Bar, Southside between 8:00pm and

11:00pm on Sunday November 30 (which has

been designated our OFFICIAL birthday!).

The party will be a live programme from the

bar, presented by Dave Fuller and Simon

Milner and, of course, all those in the bar! The

programme will include brief snatches of past

events on IC Radio — such highlights as the

attempt on the 'Most People In A Supermarket

Trolley' record, from a live programme in the

bar two years ago; an infamous programme

'live' from Fulham last year, and other items to

be hastily disinterred from their resting places.

But the main activities of the evening will be

party events actually in Stan's Bar —

competitions to win LPs and singles, attempts

on the record for the fastest time to eat a

packet of crips (without a drink), live music in

the bar from RCSU's 'pianist' Barney McCabe

and others, and Dave Fuller will be doing

amazing things with a crocodile called R e g . . . .

No birthday party would be complete

without a cake, and this party will be no

exception, as there will be a specially-made

cake with the IC Radio Crocodile iced on top.

Those who don't fancy crocodile flavour can

try the crisp-easting contest!

Absolutely anyone is welcome to come to

Stan's for the party — you can take part or just

watch, but either way it will be a memorable

evening, so be there or be square!

T H E L A S T WEEK of this term gives you your

chance to force your musical opinions on an

unsuspecting public! During that week,

Imperial College Radio will be broadcasting

'Santa's List' — a chart of the all-time favourite

pieces of rock music compiled almost entirely

from the preferences of IC students.

To do this properly, IC RADIO want to get

as broad a sample of people's tastes as

possible, and this is where you can affect the

result. All you have to do is make a list of your

five favourite tracks — be they rock, pop, folk,

r e g g a e o r a n y t h i n g e l s e . If y o u m a k e s u c h a l ist ,

w i t h t h e t r a c k s in order of preference, t h e n

will be taken i n t o a c c o u n t .

The closing d a t e for lists is Saturday,

Christmas debate: Dec 11th.

ICCAG MANY THOUSANDS OF OLD PEOPLE DIE every year from hypothermia — a figure which could be drastically reduced if enough ordinary people like you and me cared. Exams are a long way off yet, so nou; is the time to do something really worthwhile with your time.

Please help us with our Home Insulation Project, organised by the Westminster Volunteer Bureau. This involves fitting draught excluders, etc., mainly in old people's flats (absolutely no experience required), thus helping also to reduce their fuel bills, and providing much needed company for them at the same time. If you can help, either regularly or occasionally, any day of the week (surely you have some free time?!), come to our meeting on Monday, December 1, soon after 12:30 in the ICCAG Office (top floor, Union Building; turn left) — we'll be very pleased to see you.

Also at that meeting you can find out more about the Acton Saturday Venture Club for handicapped children and their friends. A small group went last week, and enthusiastically reported: "A really enjoyable and rewarding way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon".

If you are interested, but cannot attend the meeting, contact me, or Sean Coyle, Elec Eng 2, for details.

Mech Eng Soc

Lecture THE AVERAGE attendance at Mech Eng Soc's lectures so far this year has been over 300 and on our first trip, the demand for places exceeded the supply and we unfortunately had to turn some people away.

In the near future, we are planning visits to British Aerospace (Kingston) and possibly a full day trip to Westland Helicopters, but the next date not to be missed is Tuesday. December 2, at 1:00pm, when, thanks to the world-wide influence of our 'ace' secretary, Bill Blackburn, a lecture on the new BL Mini-Metro production line will be presented by Dr R D Butler from BL's Project Control and Development dept in Mech Eng 220 (Gasp! What a scoop, eh?).

So, whichever department you are in, (we have nothing against scientists; most become engineers of a sort in later life) don't miss this chance to find out more about one of the most exciting things to nearly happen to British industry for ever such a long time.

track in your own heap, terrifying all.

Sunday, November 30, in harsh contrast is the

County Treasure Hunt. Bring along as many as

possible to spot the clues, and drive the car for

you if you've had the halfway win!

Friday, December 5 is another fabulous rally,

organised by our knowledgeable captain. Get

your entry in before all spaces are filled.

Finally, there will be a Christmas Dinner at a

local hotel on Wednesday, December 10. For

further details, watch the Club Noticeboard.

Bulletin

from

Health Centre

Dr Anthony Haines of the College Health Centre has written to FELIX alerting us to the real dangers of contracting malaria through travel abroad. Recently, there have been one or two unfortunate incidents where senior members of universities at other places have contracted the disease.

The latest information on anti-malarial tablets is below:

Antimalarial Prophylaxis

Tropics and Sub-Tropics

Of all the medical hazards that face the traveller, malaria is the greatest. Attempts at eradication have been quite unsuccessful. You are most unwise if you do not take antimalarial pills and take them regularly in the state dose. There are

variations from area to area in the resistance of the malaria parasites to various prophylactic tablets, but the following are as likely as any to be effective. Avoid taking other antimalarial tablets. Africa - For Kenya

Take Maloprim (Pyrimethamine and dapsone). Take two tablets at least a week before going, and then one tablet every Sunday and Wednesday, and continue for six weeks after you come home.

For the rest of Africa

At present, normally take Chlorquine. Take two tablets twice a week starting a week before you depart, and continue for six weeks after you come home. Some makers' names of Chloroquine are Avlochlor, Nivaquine, Arlen phosphate, Resochin; Darachlor also contains pyrime-thamine and can be used.

Central and South America, Asia (including Asia

Minor)

Take Malorim (pyrimenthamine and dapsone). Take two tablets at least a week before going, and then one tablet every Sunday and Wednesday and continue for six weeks after you come home.

Fansidar

(pyrimethamine and sulfadoxine) Though initially active against falciparum malaria, is now no longer a reliable prophylactice, particularly in the Far East. It should, therefore, not be used. Paludrine, Daraprim and other preparations are not effective in many aprts of th world and should not be used.

Preuenriue Measures

It is obviously important to avoid as far as

possible being bitten by the mosquito. Adequate

clothing should be worn; keeping the arms and

knees covered is helpful. Insect repellants will keep

mosquitoes away and are a useful adjunct. In

additon, the old-fashioned mosquito net is coming

back into its own, and can also play a part in

prevention. If you are travelling to the tropics or

sub-tropics, you are advised to consult with the

College Health Service, or with your own doctor.

It is important to bear in mind that some of the

prescribing literature which is being produced is,

in fact, out of date — and you are advised to go by

the above regime. This has been recommended

by the University Medical Officer at Oxf jrd who

is an expert in this field.

Students From Overseas

Students returning to malarial areas after even a

short period in the UK will have lost their

immunity. Therefore, they should take anti-

malarials of the specified type and dose. This is

especially important if they intend to return to this

country, for example, after a holiday. Otherwise

they should take profesional advice in their own

country about how long to continue with the anti-

malarials.

Imperial College Health Service

October 1980


always take notice of what it says, but I never have replied to it, I think it is only fair that you are entitled to your point of view, and to voice it. I would rather they didn't use that sort of language.

So you think It's been a bit harsh on you In the patt?

Sometimes it has, but I think I've had a fair crack of the whip.

I'd like to ask you about the cockroaches. Is It

true burnt you said In 1970 that cockroaches

were basically clean harmless animals?

It was put to us by a biologist that they were not dirty.

But do you agree with his view?

No. I don't like them. They come in, we can't

do much about it, in packing cases, but we

have a cleaning contract with Rent-o-kii who

spray the premises weekly and in the bars, as

well. But they can't get rid of them in Linstead

Hall. Did you know that? Linstead Hall is in-

fested upstairs where the students keep food,

and they keep dropping down into our areas.

Do you still assert then that the Savoy Hotel

has cockroaches?

They did have at the time, but I don't think they have now.

Do tiles still present a ma/or health hazard In the kitchen?

No, I don't think so. We've got fly killers

situated at the main entrances.

Can you reassure students that the cutlery

looks as It It has been badly washed, not

because It has been badly washed, but

because of the hard water In this area?

Basically it's the hard water in the area.

Occasionally, it is air dried and we get streaks

if the water is not hot enough and in fact it is

a deposit of lime, it's not dirt. They are

washed as hygenically as possible.

How Is It then that the cutlery In the Royal

College of Art has no scales on It?

I don't know, because I haven't seen their

cutlery. I think one reason that they can get

away with a better standard than us, is the

numbers we do. It is a smaller unit. Possibly

they have got nicer staff or better staff and

they may have more modern machines for all

I know. There could be a variety of reasons. I

would accept that we should do as well as

them, we shouldn't make excuses. At the

moment we have a bit of a problem with the

chlorifier outfit, and when that's back in it

shouldn't be any worse than anything else.

Are you satisfied with the way In which food

Is transferred to Southside and Linstead

kitchens?

No. There is a problem here in as much as

we are using frozen food in the transfers.

They should certainly be covered and sent

across in sealed containers. It shouldn't go on

a trolley because we have got a van now.

But It Is still taken from the van to the kitchens

by the trolley.

In that case it should be covered.

So you Intend to do something about It?

Yes.

Do you eat In the Refectories or Senior Dining Rooms?

I eat here in the office usually. I eat the same

food as yourselves.

Do you enjoy It?

Yes I usually have something off the counter

every day usually a salad, because I will

confess, like everybody else in the catering

business, I have a weight problem.

Maybe you could give students some advice

as to where to eat outside college as I gather

some aren't particularly keen on the meals

here.

Well, it depends on what sort of thing they

want to eat. If you go along to MacDonalds in

Kensington High Street you'll pay half as

much again for the same dish, because we

use the same sort of burger, and same sort of

bun as they use, all we do is don't put the

dressing in the middle of it, and the chips, you

probably get twice as many chips for half the

money. I've been to the Hot Pot, it is

continuously recommended to me.

Mr Riz Shaklr, Deputy President In 1975, said

of your meals "for the poor quality of food

such high prices can only be described as

unreasonable". I suggest that many students

would have other words with which to

describe your meals and prices. Do you think

that this criticism Is still valid today?

No, and it wasn't valid then. We were about

half way down the league in University of

L o n d o n pr ices , and we still are. T h e

difference is that we provide a longer and

bigger service than any other college in

London. No others stay open at weekends or

evenings. The functions and social side of the

catering in this College is something that no

others even attempt. If we abolish this, and

the breakfast service, cut out weekends and

evening meals we would be able to be

cheaper, or at least not raise our prices with

inflation.

/ understand that the breakfast service may be closed down?

It doesn ' t pay. It serves about thirty

breakfasts each morning.

/ get the Impression that, as a whole the

Union Isn't particularly keen on you. You

were described In FELIX In 1973 In these

terms: "listening to his Union meeting

offering It seemed hardly credible that he has

any responsibilities towards Imperial College

catering at all". Do you think the situation has

changed since then?

Well, I don't remember the Union meeting concerned. I've been to a couple of meetings and I don't think that's true at all. I've had a responsibility to IC ever since I took the job on, and I've given the best part of my life to it. Certainly, I've done the job to the best of my ability, and the staff have worked as hard as I have.

Do you charge VAT?

Not on student meals, but on staff meals.

On the subject of money: do you think that a

reduction In the rate of growth In the money

supply Is a necessary and sufficient condition

for a reduction In the rate of Inflation?

I'm not convinced. I can't see a lot of sense in

putting people out of work and paying them

to do nothing. I can see that people.. just ask

for a rise. They think it's their right to have a

rise every year. I was brought up in an age

when you got a rise every five or ten years.

Do you think that the Introduction of the

cook-freeze system has been a success?

Limited. Unfortunately it coincided with the

drop in business, so it's not been used to its

full potential.

Earlier this term FELIX said: "frozen food

from the Sherfleld kitchens Is being kept In a

normal refrldgerator In Southside for a

number of weeks before being served up In

the Refectory there. After this period of time,

It Is long thawed out and getting rotten". Is

that the case?

No, definitely not.

But yourself and your assistant went over there . . .

Yes, because they kept the lunchtime meals

after heating them up, through to the evening.

That is definitely wrong. In general the food

goes straight into the deep freeze and is

stored there.

Is It true that you said In 1967 In FELIX that If

a meal seems particularly bad It can always

be exchanged?

You are asked to give it back at the counter,

and that's the best bet, because it can be

looked at, at the time

Before It Is payed for?

No, even if it has been started and there is

something wrong with it, then bring it back.

How much of a portion must be left for an

exchange to be acceptable?

Well, we don't expect you to have eaten 90%

and come back with 10%. If you feel there's

someting wrong with it — bring it back.

The catering has been described In FOR-

WARD as a "service which everyone agrees Is

totally Ineffective and Inefficient and

produces completely Indescribable and

Inedible meals". This Is a fair and accurate

description of the current situation. Do you

agree?

Is FORWARD a Conservative newspapet? No, Liberal. **** No, I don't agree. If you go on to read his complaints, I think it is mainly concerned with there being no cups of tea or coffee. What are your main difficulties?

iWe have to provide a capacity service until Christmas and for half that number for the rest of the year.

Do you think that the quality of the meals Is as high as It could be?

In general, yes. Certainly, there are odd

dishes that we fall down on.

Would you like to tell students which dishes

you fall down on, so they can avoid them?

Well, my impression is that we fall down on

some dishes, but other people's tastes may be

different. For example, the baked minced

beef roll is extremely popular. It's a cheap

dish, it's a tasty dish, and it's a filling dish.

Now I would find that too much. In general

the meals are good value. If one dish one

day doesn't come out alright, it doesn't mean

we've made a mess of everything.

So you think that students should look

forward to eating here?

I think they could. I'm not an exception; this

goes on all over the country. The same

problems arise in every other university. We

get RCA and RCM students eating here. I

know you may find that hard to believe and

some of the RCM students have said they

don't like the food there and would much

rather eat here. I'm not saying we have a

monopoly of good food, but certainly they

haven't any more than we have.

I think our main fault at the moment is that most of our premises are too big and too institutional looking.

But your main task Is to cater for IC students

rather than RCM students, so do you have

any future plans to Improve the catering here,

or are you content to leave It In the disgusting

state that many feel It has degenerated Into

since you came here?

I disagree. I don't think it has degenerated

into a disgusting state. I'm unhappy about the

Union. The manageress resigned and now we

have no manageress. As far as the Union is

concerned the food there is as good as it has

ever been, and over the last couple of years it

has enjoyed a very good reputation.

We are looking all the time for improve-

ments. We've changed Southside twice in the

last four years, and we may change it again in

another two or three months. We don't rest,

we try to change with the times. The problem

is there is no money to make it look as if we're

changed. I think you've got to appreciate

there is no money now left in the College to

do anything. Southside Refectory is a giant, it

is far too big for it's purpose. It is impersonal,

it gives the impression that nobody is around.

Unless it's busy, it looks almost like an

aircraft hanger. Until we can alter that, I think

people will say that the food isn't good.

Are you suggesting that the size of the

building affects the quality of the food?

No. I'm suggesting that the surroundings you

eat in affect what you think of the food. If not,

why do restaurants and brewers spend so

much on decor? It does enhance it, it's like

alcohol served with a meal.

Thank you very much tor your frank

Interview. I'll have to go, I'm having lunch at

the RCA, would you like to come?

No thanks, but I think that the chairman of

the Refector ies C o m m i t t e e eats there

sometimes.

By the pond was a pump which had supplied

water .in a past age. But since the by-laws were

ratified, the municipal council had replaced the

old pump with pure running water. It stood

ignored, its day had not yet come. Fifty years

perhaps, people would see it and say: "Oh! The

village pump!" and gasp with delight.

Episode Four

Dreaming in her downy cot, Griselda, doe eyed,

wispy, delicious daughter of Farmer Puddle stirs

only slightly as another drip plops into the

water butt outside her window. For her age,

just fifteen, she is a comely lass and pure as the

driven snow. Many are the lustful eyes which

follow her bobbing and twitching course down

the high street. But her honour is preserved by

the thought of retribution form her draconian

father and the ploughboys thus hide their desire.

Sweet girl, she dreams mostly of sex.

Guilds Rugby GUILDS STRUGGLED from the start and fell behind to an unconverted try when an opposition player burst away from a maul to score.

This setback seemed to spur the Guilds pack, who started to supply the backs with decent possession. Our first try was a magnificent solo effort by a mystery RCS winger when he outsprinted the UC defence from the halfway line. Steve Bishop managed to poach a try from a scrum on the line, however both conversions were missed as were a few penalties, making the half-time score 8-4.

Early in the second half our outside half, Clive, shocked us all by kicking a penalty. We were even more shocked when they scored a converted try a few minutes later.

This proved to be UC's last contribution to the scoring, with Guilds proceeding to score a further three tries, one of them converted. The best of the tries was scored by Clive following a dummy scissors move in the backs, the other tries being scored by Bishop and that mystery RCS winger.

Football Seconds IC 2nds followed up their cup success on

Saturday with an emphatic 7-0 victory over

UC 3rds. A re-arranged midfield trio of

Wiggins, Veenman and Armstrong played

well, creating plenty of chances up front.

Particularly encouraging wasthe performance

of Wiggins, who linked effectively with

Saunders on the left side of the field. It was

Saunders who opened the scoring with a

firmly hit drive from just inside the box. Soon

after, a goalmouth scramble allowed Wiggins

to drive home his first goal for the 2nds.

By half-time, IC's lead had been extended

to 4-0 after a close range header from Carr

and a well taken goal from the edge of the

area by Veenman.

Some early second half UC pressure was

effectively dealt with and soon IC were back

in control of the match. Carr continued his

scoring success when his well-timed run left

him with only the keeper to beat. Veenman

then scored a similar goal to make the score

6 - 0 .

Soon after, MacDonald was caught by a

late challenge and sadly had to leave the field

with a badly swollen ankle. A firm tackle by

Lakin, then resulted in a UC penalty, which

was considerately shot wide of the IC goal. A good all-round performance was capped when Saunders first-time swhot found the net.

TEAM: Veats, Curran, Beer, MacDonald,

Lakin, Armstrong, Wiggins, Veenman,

Walters, Carr, Saunders.

Football Thirds ON an overcast Saturday afternoon, IC

started confidently against a LH team who

had strengthened their defence at the

prospect of meeting IC. After twenty minutes

Rimmer collected the ball forty yards out on

the right and beat four players before being

half-tackled in the penalty area. He soon,

regained possession and scored to finish a

fine individual effort. The second goal

followed when Wiggins, well out of position

on the right, passed to Esberger who slotted

the ball away confidently from just inside the

area.

Early in the second half the Hospital realised they had a shortage of patients and had heard enough Scouse for one day. Wiggins was duly removed from the pitch with an injured wrist (and knee). The Hospital soon regretted this move when they heard Healy approaching from the fifth team pitch. Although IC played for some time with ten men, the defence played well and the LH attack rarely troubled goalkeeper Gilbert, who made a confident third team debut. Late in the second half Saunders provided an excellent example of IC Seconds finishing power when he headed high over the bar, with only the keeper to beat.

T E A M : Gilbert, Curran, Redmayne,

Drabble, Gohil, Sims, Heady, Esberger,

Wiggins (Healy), Saunders, Rimmer.

Sailing ON SATURDAY, the IC team were again at

the 'Harp' to sail a team from Southampton.

The wind was strong and this was possibly in

S o u t h a m p t o n ' s favour, however their

familiarity with strong coastal breezes did not

stop them from retiring to the opposite end of

the reservoir to practice beating, thereby

delaying the start.

Conditions dictated that, just before the

race, the start must be altered and this was

badly communicated to the teams. Two

Southampton boats who had heard about the

alteration thus created such a lead that IC

were virtually left to fight amongst itself for

the third, fourth, and fifth positions in which

the team eventually finished.

The second race was somewhat similar,

with Southampton again going off to practice

beating, and thereby annoying the home

team, and when the race finally started, IC

succeeded little better than in the first.

While IC sailed badly and lacked experience

this should not detract from the victory of a

strong Southampton team.

Snooker A TERRIBLE WEEK for the C team who only managed to w i n one frame. Their opponents, Charing Cross took four frames out of the five, four more than they deserve.

The glorious B team had better fortune and won 3-2 against QMC B team. Bennett played wonderfully, so he tells me, and Holt won again much to his own delight and our amazement.

The A team didn't play last week because there was no one to play.

The winnners of the 'Pot Luck Doubles' were White and McCelland. The runners-up gave a brave fight only to lose 3-0 in a final worthy of its participants.

Phil Speaks LAST Sunday I was fortunate enough to use

the New Volleyball Court. Not only was I

amazed at the disgustingly filthy state the

court was in, but surprised to find an

assortment of old mattresses strewn around.

The place needs a good, thorough clean out

(floor included) before permanent damage to

the new £7,000+ floor results. Or better still,

the introduction of a system of fines for users

failing to clean the place up!

Puzzle Corner By Scaramouche

The choir committee was engaged in heated

debate over which composers should feature

in their next concert.

"We should have a varied programme writh

at least three different composers including

Handel," said the Chairman.

"Let's do something classical — Mozart or

H a y d n or preferably b o t h " put in the

secretary.

"Well, we can't perform both Haydn and

Bach," said someone.

"And if we do sing anything by Bach, we

mustn't have Handel in the same concert."

" A s a matter of fact," interrupted the

conductor, "I've already chosen the pieces

we'll be singing, but I want to keep you in

suspense over the composers until we start

rehearsals."

"How many of our four suggestions did you

adopt?" the committee asked him.

"That I can't tell you without giving the game

away completely," replied the conductor with

a grin, " s o you'll have to work it out

yourselves."

Can you help them? Which composers will

feature in the next choir concert?

Solutions, comments criticisms to me c/o
