Profe or lan Kennedy, lIead of the

chool of Law, gave the IJpjohn

Lecture at the Ro al ociety in which

he called on judge to change the law

to allow doctor to help patient die

(voluntary euthana ia). In hi peech,

reported in the Guardian, he critici ed

the current law a extremely

un ati factor. Doctor who helped

patient \ ho wanted to end their live

hould no longer face criminal charges,

he believed. J li argument on

reshaping the law was based on human

right: 'I f per onal freedom is to have

any real meaning or ignificance, it

should not fail the patient preci elyat

to express it by seeking to take control

The contro er ial ubject of 'designer

habies', made the headline once again

following the birth of a baby girl to a

couple who had paid the London

Gender Clinic £650 to help them have

a daughter. Profes or Lynn Fraser,Professor of Reproductive Biology,

appeared in The Times, the Church of

England Newspaper, and on the Voice of

America. She argued that there was noscientific reason why the technique in

question which is supposed to

eparate the male- and female­

determining sperm, hould succeed

and in actual fact it probably does not

work and the couple may have paid the

clinic to watch nature take its course.

John Patten, Secretary of State forI~ducation, gave a talk to the King

press attention as he urged students to

One of the fir t things the Officedid was to thank those people who

have supported the College in the

past. In January the Principal and theChairman of College Council, SirJames Spooner, hosted a function thatwas attended by over a hundredprevious donors.

The Principal also invited gueststo become Founding Donors to theKing's College London Annual Fund.

I am happy to say that 223 people havetaken up this invitation so far.

. s ou might have heard the

College now has an Annual Fund.

This Fund concentrates on collecting a

lot of small gifts which are allocated in

the College in the year that they arecollected.

John Williams, through theDevelopment Office, has ent out2,700 letter to graduate asking themto upport the Annual Fund. It is alittle early to report in full on the

response, but at this stage 3 per cent ofgraduate have made a gift, rai ing£21, 37.

Through February and March, 45

students from all parts of the Collegeparticipated in the first ever King'stelephone fundraising campaign. Itwas a new experience for all involved,from which we all learned a great deal.

The students enjoyed talking tograduates. There was an exchange of

information, where graduates couldcheck and ee if their Profe sor was

still with the College and studentcould find out what King's was like 10,

20 years or even longer ago. Thestudents learnt about King's through

and K109's was particularly honoured

of very well-informed enquirie during

the three full days of the Fair, and

there was the opportunity also to

renew contacts with taff in Cyprus

schools who give advice to sixth

Duri ng the week there were two

other ignificant events for King's. The

second meeting of the King's College

London Cyprus Hellenic Foundation

wa. held in the office of Mr.

Efthyvoulos Paraskevaides, a former

tudent of King' and a member of the

family which founded the giant

loannou and Paraskevaide

engineering firm. The Foundation was

et up with a generous endowment

given by his father, ~ r. George

Paraskevaides OBE, a Fellow of

King' . The meeting wa a particularly

pleasant occa ion because it was

formally reported that Or. Philip

Carabott had joined the staff of the

Modern Greek Department in the

King's College London Cyprus

Ilellenic Foundation Lectureship as a

direct result of ~r. Para kevaides'

generosity. The Paraskevaides family

were al 0 delighted to hear of the

ucce ful and aried programme run

b the Centre for llellenic tudle

(which at 0 owe them a debt of

gratitude) and of the forthcoming

launch of the journal Di logos. The

Vice-Principal, Profe or Richard

Griffith . was welcomed to thi

mee ing and w unanimou Iyelected

to the chairman hip of the Board of

\-lanagers as the Principal's nominee.

There was a surpri e for the King's

party at the meeting, for ~1r.

Efthy oulo Paraskevaide announced

that hi father, in a further gesture of

upport for the College, was going to

add to his endowment 0 that the

their upport for Cypru cholarship,

and their unfailing kindness and

The other event was a dinner

by the KCLA office under the au pices

of KCLA (Cypru ) and its President,

Mr. Theodoros :"icolaide . The dinner

wa held at the Ledra Ilotel in !':ico la

witty and elegant after-dinner peech,

thanking Cyprus and the KCLA
