A North East Area Rally will be heJkl in New­castle on October 19 and there will be a National Day of Action held on the 1st December. There will also he a teach-in at some earlier dale which will consist of a -boycott of nortpal lectures wjth lectures and seminars on the Grants situation being held in the Union instead.

‘Slip first stgp for Newcastle, however, will be deeded by the Extraordinary General Meeting on Monday, 8th October, at 1.1-5 p.im. in the Bidlroom. This meeting will

determine Newcastle Uuiver- adty Students’ Representative Council’s policy on the Grants Campaign and will provide information on the subject of the Campaign to First Years.

The President of N.U.S., John Randall, has said that the N.U.S. is embarking op the longest sustained cam­paign it has ever attempted. This campaign will reach its climax in May 1974, the time of the Triennial Review when the Government will negotiate grants.

Stuart Paul, Deputy Presi­dent of N.U.S., has made a good case tor Grants.

'foe idai that lies behind this plau of action is that a rent strike in the first term would be more vulnerable aud that once sucfr a strike is broken the Union is left in a very weakened position in it$ confrontation with the Government.

The E.G.M. on Monday, 8th October, in the Ballroom will decide local action for the Grants Campaign.

The resolution for the meeting notes that the effectiveness of a Grants Compaign is dependent on national co-operation and furthermore calls for liaison at a local level with represen­tatives of other low fixed in­come groups. Paul Curran, Deputy President of S.R.C. and the Union, has in fact already begun the work of liaising with Pensioners’ Associations, local Trade Councils and Trade Union

The re­search was carried out by the Associate Director of the Higher Education Research Unit who believes his findings may help to explain why there has been a decline in the de­mand for University places.

The researcher comments— most would expect this change m attractiveness of higher education to be associated with the decline in its demand, ^nd this is precisely what has happened.

Mr. John Bell booked the yellow mini-bus in May for a trip to Jugoslavia by mem­bers of the Socialist Society. The booking and payment for the minibus were negotiated through Mr. Nugent.

However, when Mr. Bell

arrived to collect the bus on the Friday night for which it had been booked out to him, the bus was nowhere to be found. Apparently Mr. Nugent had booked out the minibus to take the Labour Club to Ireland. The dates un­fortunately overlapped.

The current Secretary of the Union and S.R.C., Mr. Paul Lvnchy. had no option but to authorise the hire of another van for Mr. Bell at a cost of £160.

DARYLL W ays Wolff failed to perform at the grand Stomp in the Union Ballroom on Friday, 28th September.

The reasons for this breach of contract are as follows: — The organisers of the Freshers Conference, Dave Trousdale and Steve Crute booked East of Eden for top billing a t the dance to appear a t 11.30 p.m. They later booked D.W.W. through the same agent to appear at 9.45 p.m. and their equipment was contracted to appear by 5.00 p.m.

At lunchtime on Friday D.W.W. rang up and in­formed the organisers that their van had broken down and that they would be a little late.

LATEThey eventually arrived at

8.00 p.m. and stated that it would be 10.30 before they could perform — and that they wouldn't play second billing to East of Eden.

The Conference organisers saw the managers ^n'd tried to sort the matter o u t It was decided that East of Eden should be asked to appear at 9.45. However East of Eden unaware of the situation didn’t show up until 10.45 p.m. Daryll Way’s Wolff had by this timfe left the premises for a meal and did not return until 10 20 p.m.

The Medical Students Rep­resentative Council of Leeds invited Miss Dianne Nelmes to their Past and Present Students’ Dinner. She was invited as President of the Union. Only after the invita­

Instead, in this enlightened age, they have asked her to nominate one of her “ male colleagues ’’ to go in her place.

Is it to become tradition thi; a lady President must always have a male to replace her when asked to functions in her official capacity?

THE relations between universities and the cities in which they are situated show con­siderable variation. In a few the town is little more than an adjunct to the univer­sity, while some of the new universities especially are situated on windswept heaths at a distance from their parent cities.

In coriimon with many and industrial pattern. Inineteenth century foqn- believe' this a considerable

dations, Newcastle Univer­sity owes its origin at the time o f the industrial revolution to the demand of the region in which it is situated for doctors, engineers, teachers, and scientists, and like most universities, it is situated close to the centre of the city.

SOCIO-ECONOMICAs in the case o f Leeds,

Sheffield and Liverpool, it is very much part of the fabric of the regional capital andbuilt into its social, economic

our Faculty coverage includes all but a few of the more out- of-the-way subjects, many of ouif faculties are firmly based on the Regional structure, and as in Agriculture, Medicine and many branches of Applied Science this arrangement bene­fits both the Region and the University.

LOCAL RESEARCHWith m ost of our students

drawn from outside the region it is far from parochial, but it goes some way to ensure the provision o f personnel to staff the regional services and industries. It enables the

University to direct some of its research to problems of local relevance, and to call upon the expertise of many distinguished workers who1 arc primarily engaged outside the University. Furthermore it sustains the interest of the regional population, who appreciate the continuing con­tribution the University makes in sustaining and refreshing its social structure.

CULTURALCUL-DE-SAC

This relationship is equally close in the cultural field, where the productions of the University Theatre comple-

ment those of the Peoples’ and the Theatre Royal, and where the more intimate concert- giving of the University Theatre similarly complements the splendid large-scale con­certs which the City gives as a public enterprise, as well as the extensive music-making of the Northern Sinfonia. The University's contribution to this sort of activity *js no less important than its contribution to medical and industrial re­search, and emphasises the interdependence of the_Univer- sity, the City and the Region.

GOODRELATIONS

Perhaps the most unusual feature of this situation is the excellence of the relations that

obtain between the City and the University. There are many parts of the country where this relationship in­volves an element of chronic friction, but although I can­not for one moment pretend that I would not like to see greater financial support from the local authorities * for University activities, I must in all fairness admit that the City* t4 r- ■ / -.y - • **•Council and its officers colla­borate in every possible way in trying to ease the problems of an expanding University on a restricted central site, and in trying to deal with the intract­able difficulties of student housing.

COMMUNITYLlfC

Most new students find their time very fully occupied with University and often de­partmental matters, but once they have settled in and acquired a circle of friends there is a great deal to be gained from exploring the multifarious opportunities for social and cultural contacts outside the University and in the City. Student housing pre­

sents grave problems which have been aggravated by the virtual disappearance both of the traditional lodging area in Sandyford and of the traditional landlady every­where, but ideally.I believe that it is better for students4 r> a . •to live in the community than in segregated housing, -v- -

DRINKINGHABITS

The student residence hous­in g policy is increasingly forced on us by the laefc. of alternative accommodation, but even if the student must livo amongst his fellows, there is no reason why he should restrict his social contacts to them. In my time as a student here a proportion of our extra-mural activities were pursued in public houses and working mens’ clubs, and I cannot believe that they are any less able today to make a contribution to the students’ education in the broadest sense. Tyneside is a vital and hospitable area and its pleasures can be savoured by anyone who takes the trouble to seek them out.

W. J. Nimmo, Insurance Consultant CHOICE ?TH E three questions most frequently asked of me by Students as an Insurance Con- sultant a re : —1. Which policy should 1

choose? >2. How does Insurance help

with house purchase?3. Which insurance company

should I' choose?hi this article I shall try to

answer those questions as simply as possible.

LOW COST :1. Which policy? Whilst a

growing number of Students appreciate the desirability of making a start in Insurance whilst they are young, enough to enjoy the benefits of the lowest rates, the majority have little or no spare money with which to do it. A second factor affecting the choice of policy is that Students* are often very flexible is their * medium-term plans.

These two factors indicate a policy which is inexpensive at the outset. During the non-

* earning years at University ot

' College, the Student should pay minimum amounts. Secondly, like the Student, the policy should be flexible, with options to change it as circum­stances and, needs change. But the policy should be valid in its own right, and the con-

l

vertibility should be looked on as a true “option,” not a necessity. The Brokers’ answer to this specification is the “Convertible Whole Life.” In its original form, this policy provides a capital amount payable on death. However, the policy may be changed, e.g. into a Unity Trust-type Policy or a Special Build Up House Purchase Policy or an ordinary Endowment Policy (A Special Building Build Up Endowment PSfliHey fcr* par­ticularly sui&fele as a means of repaying a Building Society loan and by effecting a “Con­vertible Policy” now therefore, the policy holder may tributing towards the purchase o f his future home). The “Convertible Whole Life” policy will ensure not only that one has a good Life Assurance base to which further policies, to match one’s specific needs, may be added, but - also that the* initial premiums will not be too onerous at a time w|icn one’s finances are restricted.

A “Convertible” Policy can be of great benefit to a young woman as a means of saving, particularly since, on or after marriage, the policy may be transferred onto the life of her husband, subject to certain conditions, such as his being in satisfactory health. Full allowance would be given fof premiums already paid.

On conversion, the amount

of premium is determined by two factors (a) how much has already been paid into the policy and (b) what the policy is converted into. The greatest benefit of the “Convertible1’ is surely that it is# tailored exactly to your budget — the initial premiums are quite nominal* and, if the.policy is converted, you decide how much to pay in premiums at that point. In our opinion the “Convertible” Policy is the only logical choice for the young person who wishes to make a start on a long-term programme.

NEW DEAL2. H o u s e ■’ - P u r c h a s e : -

There is a gffeaf deal of con­fusion in Student*’ minds on this questipn. Insurance is in­escapably bound to house pur­chase, for the simple reason that almost everyone borrows a huge amount of money to

4 purchase Ins house, and he insures his life at least for the amount of the debt, in order « to protect his family from

‘ eviction should he die before repayment. But Insurance has a bigger part to play in HousePurchase than that. To explain'• . . . .%■how this i$. so, it is necessary to look at the mechanics of House Purchase.

One borrows money from a Building Society. Building Societies demand two things

(a) Security for tfje. loan; they get this by holding the title deeds, having first had the property surveyed to make certain it is at least worth what the borrower owes, (b) The certainty that the borrower can pay back the loan; they get this by asking for proof of income, and re­stricting the size of loan to an amount- that can comfortably be repaid out of that income.

In order to repay the loan, there are several methods. To keep it simple, we shall look

• only at two: the oldest method and the newest method.

The traditional repayment of a Building Society loan is by the “Level Capital and Interest” method. In this, a payment is made to the Building Society each month. Each payment comprises of a portion o f capital, and a por- «6| ofj interest. Income Tax relief is. granted on the interest element.

■t ■ ■ —---------

The newest method of re­paying a Building Society loanis to effect a with profit en­dowment policy Which will mature in 25 year* for at least the amount of the loam. One pays only interest to the Btildmg Society, and gives the policy into the . Building Society’s hands. So one now has two separate payments to make, i.e. interest to the Build­ing Society, and premiums to th? Insurance Company. In the illustration, the borrower is aged 27 years, and his policy is a with profits, 25 year En­dowment for £2,325. There is also some short-term Insurance in the Policy, to make the Death Benefit £5,000. in case the borrower should die in the early years. The maturity rate of this policy is estimated at £6,958.

B E ST RESU LTS

3. Which company? This question puts * gr^*t respon­sibility on an Insurance broker, because as an Invest­ment medium Insurance is essentially long-term It is difficult enough to prophecy

results over the next few years, but an insurance broker's ad­vice is judged perhaps 25 years or more after he has given it And that puts strain on the best quality crystal ball! However. broker* agree that past performance figures are some guide to the future.

They feel that they are pro­tecting their clients’ best interests by recommending Ineurance Companies which have consistently produced good returns. One source of independent and unbiased in­formation on this subject, is the “Economist” magazine.*

which does a comparison of Life Assurance every live years. The« figures in the taWe reproduced here are takenfrom the “EconomM” com­parisons done in 1960.^1^65 and 1970. They show the actual amounts paid out by 42 Insurance offices, for a man

aged 29 years, paying £50 per year, into a 25 year (with profits) Endowment policy. So thes# are true ‘like with like” comparisons. The placings in terms of best results are given beside each matnrlty figure. (It is significant that the com­pany which was placed No. 1

in 1970 gave a retom 60r> higher than the company placed No. 42). So on pa*‘ performance, it can be seen that a safe recommendationwould be Equity end I .aw average place 1.6, Scottish Widows — average place 2 1. and Standard Life — average place 2.6.

Less than fifty yards up from the Sandwich Boutique on the opposite side of the street is the Pizzeria La Cfep»iu*Ua, small and ught for room, but the smell from inside and appeal of the plain white­washed room made me go in and try some of the Italian cooking. The lasagne (33p> I had was hot and filling and comes in addition with pUnty of parmesan cheese in a small wooden bowl—a nice thought at least.

castle must not escape a journey down to the Scan­dinavian restaurant called Oscars Viking Restaurant and Bar right next to the Royal Station Hotel in Neville Street. Here, one can help oneself to a large cold table and eat until full if necessary for 98p, but if feeling in an expensive mood one can move

on to one of the tasty main dishes o f steak. The atmos­phere is intimate with the cold table being the highlight and the settle type tables arranged around the walls. A meal fo r three including a carafe of wine amounted to £4.44.

Lastly and closer to both the University and Polytech­nic is Jim s Inn on John Dobson Street, but is reached

from Northumberland Street. T he gaudy purple frontage should not put one off and in f a d the food is good plain English with jgood service and reasonabl^priced.

A survey of the first

anN O V E l l M a r i 9 7 2 H w

_ >ounced th a t it was to build Britain’s first Rapid Tr a ns it System. This 'wHt give Newcastle Hie most efficient and quick commuter se> vice outside London.' • -

The Rapid Traaslt System is a net­work of electrified trams, travellingboth underground and on the surface, and express buses. There will be 31 miles of railway,, utilising the NogM [Tyne Loop, a circle line running to the coast and back again with 25 stations, as well as a line to South Shields and another to Kenton Bank Foot.

The present commuter railway lines will be re-equipped and electrified. There­fore instead of building completely new lines. sufficient alterations and renovation*Will take place to bring the system in line wit:i the shape of modem Tyneside. An Example occurs at South Shields, whore the line is to be moved^from the river side !Which onco was the most important area \o ^ the town centre where thp activity is now ccntrcd. The underground section ot the railway Will revolutionise ar.d • give Importance to public transport, as it will mean a linking of the two existing rwiway lines. No longer will the inhabitants of JVhiilcy Bay have to walk miles to reach their Newcastle destination from the Central Station. Within the City Centre there will be five underground stations. Most important will be the fact that travellers will be able to go from the centre of Gateshead, underground and across a hew Tyne bridge, to the City Centre. This ,uill obviously ease . congestion on the existing Tyne bridges and cut travelling time by at least a quarter.

PHENOMENAL COST■ Jb- .. • I ■ ^ V * ' •

The cost of this scheme will be phenomenal. ,By 1972, priccs, a figure of £65.5 fnilllons has been put forward, which includes £21.5 millions to be spent on the underground .Petipa alone. A proportion of the money Will go on revitalising and making more attractive the present railway stations. At four suburban halts there will be interchanges. These are made up of huge car parks, where it is hoped many «>f the- present non-public transport users will park their vehicles, and express bus stops. Buses will ferry people from outlying areas where they will travel into the city - in greater comfort and with more speed.

The proposals for the Rapid Transit scheme came from the Tyne Wear Plan, which was a landuse/transporfation study conducted by private consultants and Local Authority Staff. J This is the “Transport Plan for the 1980’s” and aimed at com­pletely reviewing and putting forward proposals for all types of transport They considered an all-bus system as the basis for future public transport and in the face of the fact that the present railway system is losing £1.5 million a year. However; to increase tbe speed of the buses and ^n^ke the system wholly efficient, the const rue of bus-only lanes on the roads is a neces­sity. The difficulty of doing this and the point that there was already an adequate railway system capable of adaptation led the consultants to conclude, “ The actual position is whether to risk the possibility of achieving significant and widespread priorities for buses, against a background of rising car ownership and slipping road programmes, or whether to improve an existing asset and establish a significant proportion of the public transport system;

, ih congestion-free conditions/’ - ^ ^

CONSTWCTION;

I he construction of the Rapid Transit System will begin late this year and it is Imped that the completion date *ill be sometime in 1979. The scheme has to be ipproved by Parliament Snd Is passing iluough at the moment as the Tyneside Metropolitan Railway Bill. This miil five planning permission to the 'Tyneside I’assenger Transpot) Executive to build the system and also a 75% grant of £50 million towards the total cost.

‘j

RELIABILITYIn the words of the Ty neside Passenger

Transport Executive, Tyneside must havd a system which moves people with —greater reliability “—greater speedEspecially when homes and jobs arc further apart.

The coro of the public transport system must- b e free from traffic congestion

--help to relieve the congested Tyne bridges —creat efficient movement corridors __let people travel right to the heart of

built-up areas - -m a k e the best use of the existing but

expensive rail network --b e quiet and fume free - -m inim ise blight and property acquisition .\b c capable of extension.”

. ' TEARING UPThe new Motorway Scheme which is

undet construction at the moment is busy tearing up that which used to be parkland and making unfamiliar those areas wt»ch were once reptfded w ith sentiment ahd affection ,

There are fourSnotorv^ays planned to go through Newcastle: the Central Motorway Last whose ravages are readily visible to­day; the Central Motorway West which will curve across the river and up the T lfrt- morland and Westgate Roads; the Central Motorway East Bypass and the O ro ssd ty Motorway. *

The plans go back to 1963, when T. Dan Smith and Mr. Wilfred Burns, then O fy

Planning Officer, were iu power. The plans were drawn up on the basis of certain traffic forecasts which had been made and showed that existing roads could lo t take the traffic load o f the 1970 s. The 1966 Tory Council backed up these plans and contributed to the present situation of Motorway development.

TOTALLY COMMITTED < .:vi V \S. !* f

“ Transport Plan for the, 1980’s ” con­sidered the Motorway System v and attempted to prove that the whole system need not be adopted. However the Council is totally committed to the building of the Central Motorway Cast with the reconstruc­tion of the Redheugh Bridge. Unfortunately this scheme is now years out of date and the bridge, due to be finished in 1972, has got to be totally redesigned because its original plan was box-girder.

The major achievement of the Motor ways will be to leava Newcastle with large pedestrian-only .streets. However the System will not increase the traffic holding capacity of the city-centre in the rush hours because of the numerous road closures and the limited access to the remaining highways.

County Council it seems to be doubtful whether ratepayers from far South of tbe Tyne will be prepared to pay for this motorway extravaganza in NewcasUc.

The whole future of the Central Motor­way System is still in tbe balance. Although ~ the Labour Council of 1963 supported the plan because of the obvious predominance of T. Dan Smith in all its proposals, the . new County Council do not appear to be backing the Motorway idea with their fuli strength.. Presumably we shall hear more . in the next few months.

;■ ** •; t ■ y ' - vy . i

SPACE ACE CITYApart from the . Central Motorway stem, the other propds

ways in the area are the Gateshead WcSystem, the other proposals for major high-* ways in the area are the Gateshead Western Bypass and the Coast Road Motorway. U p

The cost of the plans cannot satisfactorily be assessed. However, something in the region of £80 millions is not a. conservative estimate. With the emergence of ti e new

Caspar - David Freidrich’s obsession with the mystery ofi nature is shown in his work featured here. Hi> favourite brother had drowned when h e . himself was ■ young and this event shadowed his entire life: his painting lacking

Fantastic art is not really fan­tastic, and must be judged not only by its intditions but by its' execution and the quality thereof; and here,, in this book the standard of the art work is consistently high, v Richard Dadd’s The Fairy Feller’s Master-stroke is reproduced with a remark­able clarity: not the least reason being his meticulous brush work.
