FELIX �N O F T H U N I O N

I t i s with great pleasure and r e l i e f that I am able to welcome the freshmen; and present students baok a f t e r the vacation to a b u i l d i n g that i s ready t o receive them. A l l work that was planned f o r the vacation has been completed, excepting the Gymnasium whioh suffered the setback of seemingly i n ­evitable administrative procrastination. New sofas have been i n s t a l l e d i n the Lounge, and the excess furniture has been d i s t r i b ­uted around the Union building. The session begins with the advantage over the l a s t few years of being more than ever suitable f o r our a c t i v i t i e s .

Now that the building i s complete i t i s i t s use that merits mention. The now extinct House Committee, i n a report pre­sented to the Union l a s t year, put forward various recommendations f o r the conduct of those using the b u i l d i n g . Those were ad­opted with acclamation and a copy appeared on the Union notioe board. Some students, one hopes from ignorance rather than malice, d i d not follow the Union decisions. Uni.cn o f f i c e r s are not policeman, and do not

wish to appear so; the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y rests

on each and every Union member t o obey the

rul.es h i s Union has made.

I t i s very important to r e a l i s e that

the Union and a l l i t s f a c i l i t i e s are not

just another of the amenities that are

provided f o r students at Imperial College.

The Union i s provided by the members

fo r the members. Anyone with useful

suggestions or c r i t i c i s m s should

approach the appropriate student o f f ­

i c e r either personally or i n w r i t i n g .

He w i l l be f a i l i n g i n h i s duty I f the

serious suggestions are not f u l l y inves­

tigated.

The Union i s f o r the members and I urge you t o take a l l advantage of i t and use i t .

A l e t t e r has been received from Karakoram Expedition now i n the Himalayas, reporting that a l l i a going w e l l . I n i t i a l l y the party suffered from a series of headaches induced by the altitude,butthlahas not hampered t h e i r work i n surveying the Siachen Glacier. In J u l y the Expedition was delayed seven­teen days due t o shipping d i f f i c u l t i e s . To compensate f o r t h i s members of the exped­i t i o n w i l l leave l a t e r than had been planned. In f a c t , they have only one quarter of the time needed to make a complete survey of t h i s area. Apart from the somewhat monotonous diet during t h e i r stay i n Tndla everyone i s now contented.

I t i s worth mentioning that the b u l l e t i n came one hundred and s i x t y miles serosa f a i r l y d i f f i c u l t country to the Post Office at Skardu, which gives some indication of the vastness of the area i n which they are working, A f u l l e r report w i l l be appearing i n F S L H when the expedition returns.

On Ju l y 1st. four members of Imperial

College, Dave Baxter, Pat Pavkes, Mike

Gorb and Tony Hodgson, l e f t London for

A r c t i c Norway to carry out mountaineering

exploration round Altevaten, close to the

Swedish border. Although the area had

been surveyed during the war, i t s moun­

taineering p o s s i b i l i t i e s were s t i l l un­

known.

Within a week the party had set up a base camp at the western end of the lake, and by July 11th. i t was within s t r i k i n g distance of the mountains. After only a few days ̂ l i m b i n g and surveying i t was clear from the views seen while on Kirkestund (5120ft) and Maddanipa (4900ft) that the neighbouring mountains had not much to offer to the mountaineer; the few rook faces that were i n evidence were badly weathered. I t was decided, therefore, to move base camp further westwards to ju3t north of Bardu, where the country looked mare promising.

However, the part was deprived of the opportunity of exploring t h i s region as, on July 16th. Tony Hodgson f e l l some 50ft. while abseiling and was seriously injured. 30 hours l a t e r he was admitted to Narvik hospital. With the number thus depleted i t was decided that further survey­ing i n the area would not be possible, and so a fortnight l a t e r another base camp had been established near the S t o r s t e i n a f J i l l massif 25 miles from Narvik, with a high camp on a g l a c i e r to the south. A further disappointment was then experienced due to the bad weather which kept the party tent-bound for several days.

Nevertheless, during the remaining 3 weeks some good climbing was had on both rook and i c e , with an adventurous crossing of an i o e f a l l on Kuinaookka. Two prob­able f i r s t ascents were made; the Stcrtuod Ridge and an unmarked •bump" marked 1367 m, while other oliirba included Ippovarre, Kninarookka and Nikkiookka. The l a a t tvo days were spent on S t o r s t e i n s f J i l l where the three members of the party were con­f i n e d t o t h e i r tio-man tent while a b l i s -s j r d raged outside.

I t was with mixed feelings that on the 22nd. August the party retreated from Storsteinaf J i l l ; diaappointmsnt i n that l i t t l e had been achieved i n 6 wsfeks, but & sense of well-being a f t e r such a long period among the mountains auay from c i v i l i s a t i o n .

John Donald Chadwick, President,

Imperial College.

P a r t i c u l a r l y appropriate f o r a year i n which the average age of Onion members reaches a new low, t h i s year's President, John Chadwick, i s the youngest to f i l l t h i s o f f i c e f o r many years. He was bom i n Bolton i n 1935 and was educated at Boltom School.

'Chad' entered Guilds i n October '53. He i s now a post-graduate i n the l u b r i c a t i o n laboratories of the Mech. Eng. department. In h i s l a s t academic year he was Vice-President of Guilds. 'Chad', unlike the l a s t three presidents,is a Boat Club man, he stroked the F i r s t V I I I i n '56. His popularity, however, unlike so many Union o f f i c i a l s i n the past, i s not based upon his sporting prowess. Newcomers to the College w i l l f i n d a r e a d i l y approachable and unassuming f r i e n d who has the interests of the Union members at heart.

As a guide to P r e s i d e n t i a l ^ o l i o y i n

the coming session, i t i s worth noting that

Chad says he feels somewhat worried about

the s i t u a t i o n which has arisen through the

self-deception of Imperial College students

i n t o thinking that they and t h e i r

contemporaries at t h i s mecca of technology

should not take part i n any extramural

a c t i v i t i e s that may be olassed as creative.

He considers that t h i s i s a l l too apparent

i n the number that a c t i v e l y contribute to

those aspects of Union a f f a i r s which are

not d i r e c t l y recreative. Chad i s a man

who practices what he preaches.

Who brightens up a rlni i and rainy day with a warm smile? Who i s well-dressed? Who does not oome in t o lectures with a growth of beard on the face, varying i n length from a day to a week? Who pours water on certain unarmed but deserving heads? - but, who i s NOT w i l l i n g t o brew coffee at a l l hours of day and night?

Tes, you're r i g h t every time i t i s I.C.W.A. - that small band of unspoiled womanhood who understands, mothers and tends a l l those l o s t sheep (including navy black ones) who come to them f o r shelter. I.C. W.A. are those virtuous young ladies whom you oan see from time to time, gracing the precincts of the College. How often have you spurned them and turned t o less worthy females? When the awakening comes to you you w i l l r e a l i s e that nowhere else perf­ection l i e s except i n I.C.W.A.

Welcome fresher, woloome s l l .

For once again loud feet do f a l l

Upon our noble college f l o o r s

And once again you bang the doors.

Today at l a s t we do return After t h i s our long sojourn Of Summer Vac, and journeys f a r , And v i s i t soon the f r i e n d l y bar.

A couple here, a small group there,

Recount the tales they cannot bear

To leave untold another day;

The stories of t h e i r l a t e s t fray.

Amidst t h i s crowd the fresher moves

And thinks at l a s t of many loves,

Of Soccer, Rugger, Ji v e and Squash

With which he hopes to out a dash.

Now of the many there w i l l be a few

Who think that everything i s now

And se they hlsze some fresh rwr waya

With whioh t o f i l l t h e i r l e i s u r e days.

But soon,alas,they often f i n d That s l l the pleasures of the mind Can force outside the time to learn Into the hours when candles bum.

Do not forget, C readers s l l . Those shimmerings i n the c r y s t a l b a l l ; That onos a year you must defend The righ t s you have to comprehend.

How­ever, finding himself i n possession of an incriminating document, to wit, the t i c k e t , he decided that t h i s should also be looked a f t e r c a r e f u l l y , so he put i t i n a parcel which he l e f t at another London: terminus.

Dear Fresher,

As the senior active member of the F e l i x Board i t behoves me to write a few, probably d i s t a s t e f u l , words of advice on thejapaaaioa of your reception into our foJBF are not the only words of advrfte you w i l l receive, aa by now you w i l l no doubt have r e a l i s e d .

F i r s t I must d i s i l l u s i o n you. I t is unlikely that you are about to receive a 'university eduoatioai'. Imperial College i s l i t t l e more than part of the university by name alone; moat of I t s departments represent l i t t l e more than a s c i e n t i f i c and technological 'cramming school'.

In moat cases the taxpayer or the r a t e ­payer i s providing the money f o r you to come here, because they have been t o l d

that the Country needs scientists sad technologists. You are therefore under an obligation to become well-qualified in your chosen profession. In due course quite a few of you will realise that you have ohoaen the wrong profession; you will disappear from our midst without graduating. It i s . In any oase, a policy of the College to take more people Into the fi r s t year than oan be accomodated in the third year, for this reason.

Tou will not learn to accept responsi­bi l i t y in the lecture theatre or In the laboratory. In these two places you will be spoon-fed. tou will obtain no practice in asking important decisions, and l i t t l e ohanoe of learning how to 'get on' with your fellows and to 'handle people'. Very few of you already possess these quailtiea in adequate amount, unless you have been in the Services. Tou must look elsewhere than your course and the seclusion of your lodgings for this part of your training.

Xes, you have earns here to work, and unless the selection system has erred, you have come to do your beet. In ay experience thine is no truer sapias; than that what you put into a project ia a direct measure of the value eventually obtained from i t . Let us therefore consider xhat i t ia that you wish to obtain fron your stay bare. Tour ambition i s to hold down a well rcmaeratcd Job whioh oarriee responsibility for men and materials; a Job in which you are respected as an able aeabar of your pro­fession, and one in whioh you have the opportunity to he an individual, i f you are prepared Just to he a scientific or

technological brain used and 'pushed around' by others who carry the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y and make the decisions, you have no r i g h t to be at Imperial College.

I suggest that the only way by whioh you w i l l become a man instead of a moron i s by mingling with your fellows on the s o c i a l and sporting levels. Participate i n the College s o c i a l and a t h l e t i c clubs. Have a natter with your friends over a drink i n the bar. Go to Dinner-in-Hall now and again to meet some of the more senior members of the College. Mix with people i n other departments and people i n other 'yeare'.

But, you are here to work, to study. S t r i k i n g a balance between work and play l a a very individual matter; one i n whioh no­body but yourself oan deoide. Your work and play should give each other mutual assistance: both should help you i n your preparation for your career.

In conclusion hare i s a piece of advioe which many of ray contemporaries would appear to dispute. In my opinion your attitude, p a r t i c u l a r l y where examin­ations are concerned, should not arise froa the idea of either passing or f a l l ­i ng, getting a ' f l r c t ' or a 'second'. Tour attitude should be one of intention to do better than your f e l l o v c .

Yours sincerely,

Hubert Edsuln S-nith

TOUCHSTONE

Most freshers, and many who are not

so fresh, may be puzzled by refersnoss on

notice boards and elsewhere to something

c a l l e d TOUCHSTONE that i s b i l l e d as being

held at Imperial College F i e l d Station,

Silwood Park, Sunnlngdsle. Touchstone

weekends are held about twice a term i n

the beauties of the Berkshire countryside.

They were the b r a i n c h i l d of the Late S i r

Roderio H i l l , and were intended aa an

opportunity of the s t a f f and students of

the College to meet i n informal sur-oundings.

There i s a theme f o r each weekend to whioh

a guest speaker pre-eminent i n h i s p a r t i c u ­

l a r f i e l d i s i n v i t e d . In no circumstances

are the subjects f o r discussion to be of a

s c i e n t i f i c nature, and these meetings were

intended from the s t a r t to encourage the

r a t i o n a l i s a t i o n of the education of member!

of Imperial College. In part they are meant

to be the complement of General Studies

Lectures, and thus t o enable students to

gain a wider understanding of that most

important f a c u l t y of the Human Mind, that

of cl e a r thinking a l l i e d with the a b i l i t y

to express oneslf d e a r l y on Human Problems

to other members of w»r»n~^ without d i f ­

Rehearsal of the play "While the

Sun Shines" by Terence Rattigan, and the

b u i l d i n g of the set began just eight days

before the f i r s t performance with no l i t t l e

trepidation! on the part af some actors, who

doubted t h e i r a b i l i t y to grasp t h e i r parts

i n so short a time. Towards the end of the

week the costumes arrived,whilst the scenery

was w e l l on the way to completion. On

the Friday, Saturday and Sunday a l l the

transport that could be requisitioned, heavily

laden with scenery, actors and suitably/ be-

l a b e l l e d with posters, set off f o r Bedford.

By t h i s time i t was obvious that "the sun was going to shine", and i n the longest heat wave of the summer the society was per­forming an the stage of the C i v i c Theatre, s t i l l oovered with stage hands, putting the f i n i s h i n g touches to the set.

The f i r s t performance, t o a minute

audience, was marred only by the b e l l s

i n the neighbouring church steeple which

rang f o r an hour i n the middle of the

play. After each night's performance a

v i s i t was made to the "Rose", a l o c a l

pub, followed by midnight bathing i n the

r i v e r . During the day swimming, boating a

and tennis were indulged i n , w h i l s t some

v i s i t e d Woburn Abbey.

By traditiOtt,after the l a s t per­

formance a party had been arranged. This

time i t was not the usual on-stage a f f a i r ,

but a barbecue by the r i v e r some miles

out of the town. This was a complete

success, although during the celebrations

a cider flagon was stolen by a l o c a l r e s i ­

dent who was subsequently booked and

brought to t r i a l f o r the offence. This

was the only time the Dram. Soo.seemed to

be on the r i g h t side of a somewhat over

suspicious Bedford constabulary, who

throughout the tour kept a close watch on

the Theatre from the Police S t a t i o n next

door.

TONY

The non-appearance at the beginning of t h i s term of Anthony Hodgson the Vice President of the R.C.S. Union and Chair­man of the S o c i a l ClubsCctmdttee, has been referred to i n the report of the Ex­pedition that recently returned from Norway. Tony and Mike Curb(whilst olimbing a buttress on a mountain that the whole party had previously surmounted, were overtaken by bad weather. During the descent,whilst Tony as the leader was abseiling on the l a s t pitch,the piton securing the rope dislodged i t s e l f , and he f e l l 60ft. on to the rock below, re s u l t i n g i n a broken thigh, fractured l e g , serious i n j u r i e s t o his head and face,and fractured arm. Hike Gorb managed t o climb down and run to the camp where the other two members of the Expedition were working and n o t i f i e d a rescue party to come t o his a i d . The rescue party carried Tony on a stretcher f a r seven houra-about h a l f way to the hospital. They were then met by a helicopter sent by the Norwegian Authori­t i e s , whioh flew Tony to Narvik where he was taken to h o s p i t a l . He has since made good progress, and hopes t o return to Eng­land i n the near future.

SOCC£R

This season the soccer club w i l l run

four teams regularly, a l l with commitments

i n the University League, with a possible

f i f t h team i f there i s enough support.

Although the club has a high standing i n i n t e r c o l l e g i a t e f o o t b a l l , no trophies have been won f o r many years nowc This season the 1st. XI should be capable of winning at l e a s t one of the competitions, i f the team play with understanding and with t a c t i c a l s k i l l . I s t . XI players are therefore expected to support a t r a i n i n g programme which i s being organised. Players from lower teams, which Lave im­proved f i x t u r e s , are welcome i f practicable.

Apart from t h i s serious side of the

3port there i s a s o c i a l side which has been

neglected i n the past, and players should

make every e f f o r t to entertain v i s i t i n g

teams etc. A l l are i n v i t e d to the t r i a l s

on (tot 2nd. and Oct (free ocaohesl)..

The club w i l l endeavour to make a just

selection from the talent shown at these

t r i a l s but any person who thinks he merits

a position i n a higher team than for which

he was selected must be patient, for a f t e r

a few matches the situation should be r e ­

solved.

ALPINE

Seven members of the Club met at

Chsmcnix on J u l y 2nd., two of them

having t r a v e l l e d from London by motor

cycle. The f o l i c wing f i v e and a h a l f weeks

were spent i n the mountains, l i v i n g i n

the huts c f the French Alpine Club.

Having f i r s t spent a day i n Argentiere

buying food (whioh l a t e r resulted i n large

quantities of starch being prepared under

the impression that dehydrated potatoes had

been bought), the next day saw the party

making i t s way up to the Argentiere hut

and having t h e i r f i r s t sight of the great

peaks i n the area. A day was then spent

p r a c t i s i n g Alpine technique on snow and ioe -

only two of the party had climbed i n the

Alps before. (Six experienced I.C. mount­

aineers were on the Karakoram Expedition).

Climbing then began i n earnest with the

traverse with the Tour Noil'.

Throe days l a t e r , fron the Albert Hut, the party undertook a long and "quite d i f ­f i c u l t " route across the g l a c i e r to the Forbes arete of the A i g u i l l e de Chardonnet which i s a c l a s s i c among Alpine climbs and involves about twelve hours of sustained olimbing on rook and steep snow and i c e slopes. At the summit the weather was so f i n e and the a i r so olear that the Matter-horn could be seen to the East almost 50 miles away, and to the South through a heat haze, ths valleys of I t a l y were seen. The two experienced members also climbed the A i g u i l l e du Tour on the fallowing day.

The Qouverole Hut was reached after a>

very wet and cold day's crossing of the

Her de Glace. The next few days saw a

deterioration i n the weather. The only good

day was spent on the A i g u i l l e de Moine whioh

was olimbed by the Southwest Arete - a long;

rock ridge of average standard. The scenery

an t h i s route was magnificent with Mont

Blanc only about three miles away, and d e l ­

icate rock tracery of the Chamonix Aig­

u i l l e s only just across the v a l l e y .

This was the l a s t olimb, however,

because even on the descent from the Koine

ths clouds were banking up. After two i d l y

spent days i t was decided to pack up and

come home. The party had enjoyed t h e i r t r i p ;

had learnt new olimbing techniques, and

"had a l o t of fun".

Incidentally, before journeying home,

the tuo motorcyclists had to recover t h e i r

machine from the pol i c e - who olaimed that

i t had been abandoned.

On June 15th., 'Jezebel' accompanied

by a ore* of 9, attended the IT.S.C.C.

meeting at Silverstone, where she was

placed i n ths paddock and attracted con­

siderable attention, and admiration. The

Journey of 120 miles, her farthest since

she was Drought up from Jarrington was

accomplished vithout incident, but with

a prodigious consumption, of p e t r o l . To

honour the suspension and ths b i g ends,

members of I.C.S.C. competed at most

of the open meetings with events f o r F i r e ­

stnser.

About twelve L.C. s a i l o r s entered marine week held t h i s year at Berne Bay during the second week of Jul y . Strong winds and waves provided e x h i l l a r a t i n g s a i l i n g f o r helmsmen used to the oalm waters of the Welsh Harp.

I.C. helmsmen had great success i n the F i r e f l y Single Handed Championships at Herne Bay during August. J.M. Conway-Janes finished f i r s t but was d i s q u a l i f i e d fo r a technical Infringement cf the rules and J.E. Smith gained t h i r d place.

National F i r e f l y Week at Southend was a disappointment. Leeshere gales caused the cancellation of racing on four out of seven daysc The p r i c i p a l event for the S i r Ralph Gore trophy was s a i l e d ovjr f i v e laps of the triangular course over the mudflats upriver from the p i e r . In bad weather half of the f l e e t oapsised, M. Collyer In Fumble, oap-sised before the start but raced and finished very creditably i n fourth place; beating a l l other university and college entries.

There were only two entries f o r Chich­

ester Harbour Week with I.C. connections.

The Storey cup vas raced for i n force s i x

wind on August and only eight boats

competed the course. M. Collyer arrived

only ten minutes before the s t a r t , entered

and finished fourth, his placing being some­

what affected Ly ignorance of the course.

The very l i g h t winds during the rest of the

week favoured s a i l o r s with intimate know­

ledge of the channels, t i d a l streams, and

mud banks i n the harbour.

At Medway regatta on September l s t .

took f i r s t p r i s e and M. Collyer appeared

i n his usual position, 4th. i n the prooas

The dinghys have new x-etumed to the Harp, having made a h i t i n a quiet London suburb, where one householder remarked to his wife that there were f i v e beats i n the road. The d i s t r i c t not being prone to flooding, t h i s evoked the reply -"NonsenseI you're seeing things."

So t h i s i s the underwater sport!

For those who don't know, the I.C. uhder-Water Club was only formed at the end of the l a s t session; f o r those who went to the summer Diving Camp, the lack of pre­paration made t h i s p a i n f u l l y obvious.

The coast around the camp at Sharkham Point (near Paignton) looked quite promising f o r diving i n spite of hazards created by Bank Holiday fishermen The f i r s t set-back, that the promised large tents had not materialised, r e a l l y made i t s e l f f e l t on the f i r s t Wednesday when three of the f i v e tents were blown down during the night. The drenched occupants were l e f t with the alternative of crowding either i n t o the remaining tents or a oar.

These minor disoomforts apart, the sea was s u r p r i s i n g l y warm, and by the beginning of the second week'everybody had lone some diving with the aqualungs and as much schnorkeling as they l i k e d . One of our number, t o h i s surprise, speared a sizeable grey mullet which the f r y i n g pan shortly converted i n t o a most edible dish. Later, p l a i c e , mackerel and crabs were caught by less sporting means.
