MARK BAILEY APPEAL

Mark Bailey is a member of the PharmacyDepartment technical taff. He joined theDepartment, then part of Chelsea College,in ovember 1980. As a committedprofessional technician and a Graduate ofthe Royal Society of Chemistry he hadhigh expectations in his chosen career.However, all of that ended when it waschillingly confirmed that he had multipleclero is. He has struggled for over two

years to carry on working but, a is oftenthe case with thi condition, the st ady10 of use of muscular control has meantthat he mu t finally leave the College. Hehas already moved to Di s in orfolk to benear hi immediate family. 1 will not haveto pell out what it means for anyone tolose the means of earning one's liVing, tohave the cloud of the progre ive 10 s ofhealth over hadowing one' future and tobe r moved from the comradeship ofwork place colleague. Mark has to face upto all of this at 2 years of age.

When Jai David and I visited him inhospital recently we found Mark in brightform, although the reality of hi predica­ment was never out of our thought. Wewere able to a sure him that just becausehe was out of sight from member of ourCollege he wa certainly not out of mind.I believe Mark found thi comforting. Mark Bailey, pictured at the College in 1981

One thing which I learned from workingat Chelsea College was the ense ofcommunity which prevailed among thestaff. It surfaced in a very practical waywhen it was needed. I have every reasonto su pect that in the merged College wewill act together to how Mark that he isnot forgotten. He will need many thingsto enable rum to cope with ill new life.We can help to provide part of hi need.By an wering thi appeal for financialdonation, King's taff can demonstratethe x tent of it generosity a well a itwillingness to act to help a colleague.

I have already received trong supportfrom the College ad mini tration which idOing everything it can to ease Mark'burden. A special appeal IS being conduc­ted in ASTMS. the technician' union. ThePharmacology Department has raisedmoney from a social event. So, I guethat the Mark Bailey appeal is on it way.Plea e help to raise the quality of Mark'ever-more fragile life.

TO JUAN AT THE WINTERSOLSTICE

There is one story and one story onlyThat will prove worth your telling,Whether as learned bard or gifted child;To it all lines or lesser gauds belongThat startle with their shiningSuch common stories as they stray into.

I it of trees you tell, their months andvirtue,Of Strange beasts that beset you,Of birds that croak at you the Triple will?Or of the Zodiac and how slow it turnsBelow the Boreal Crown,Prison of all true kings that ever reigned?

Water to water, ark again to &.rk,From woman back to woman:So each new victim treads unfalteringlyThe never altered circuit of his fate,Bringing twelve peers as witnes esBoth to his starry rise an d starry fall.

Or i it of the Virgin's silver beauty,All fish below the thighs?She in her left hand bears a leafy quince;When with her right she crooks a finger

How may the King hold back?Royally then he barters life for love.

Or of the undying snake from chaoshatched,Whose coils contain the ocean,Into whose chop ~ with naked sword hesprings,Then in black water, tangled by the reeds,Battles three days and nights,To be spewed up beside her scallopedshore?

Much snow is falling, winds roar hollowly,The owl hoots from the elder,Fear in your heart cries to the loving-cup:Sorrow to sorrow as the sparks fly upward.The log groans and confes esThere is one story and one story only.

Dwell on her graciousnes , dwell on hersmiling,Do not forgetwl:vat flowersThe great boar trampled down in ivy time.Her brow was creamy as the long ninthwave,Her sea-blue eyes were wildBut nothing promised that is notperformed.

BOOKING AND BILLING PROCEDURESAT THE STRAND CAMPUS

The merger, together with the increasingfunction hospitality and conferencework of the Catering Department makeit necessary for the booking procedureson the Strand site to be improved. Weappreciate that at present our customersdo not always know whom they shouldcontact with requests for Catering S~lVices,

a problem that the current review ofbooking and billing procedures shouldsolve.

Customers will appreciate that it will takea little while to implement the requiredchanges, but we will keep them fullyinformed of all changes as they are made.
