Action taken on overseas students

Measures are to be taken to create a new Union major sub-committee (of Union Council) to cover overseas student affairs. The move came at an informal meeting on Wednesday evening, designed to revamp interest in the Union's ailing Overseas Students Committee (OSC);

The meet ing was convened

by A c a d e m i c A f f a i r s O f f i ce r

P a u l Ekpenyong and E x t e r n a l

A f f a i r s O f f i ce r Hugh Bar re t t ,

both of whom had become

deep ly concerned that the

O S C ' s nine e l e c t e d posts

were a l l vacan t . T h e s e shou ld

have been f i l l e d in M a r c h .

wThe two were a l s o perturbed

about the absence of an

O v e r s e a s Students F r e s h e r s

recept ion and the low l e v e l

of a c t i v i t y among o v e r s e a s

s tudents on the i s s u e s

a f fec t ing them. T h i s they

found d is tu rb ing in the wake

of i nc reas ing cons t ra in t s on

NEWSPAPEH OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION

sI was disheartened that no member

of the Union Executive attended the

Overseas Students meeting on

Wednesday (see front page).- It was

doubly sad, since over the summer

vacation, I had heard many ideas

from the Exec, aimed at increasing

overseas student participation in

IC Union. Overseas students form

25% of Union membership. They now

face special problems which threaten

their community at IC. The situation

deserves closer attention from ICU.

It is hardly encouraging to active

overseas students to see no lead

given by the Executive, three of

whom sit on the ailing Overseas

Students Committee.

s In October 1975 a 40% refectory

price increase dramatically cut

Mooney's custom. The Refectory

Committee has seen its error and

proposes no increases for next term.

Its new found policy of finding out

what students want from the catering

system is welcome, but long overdue.

There seems to be no problem at the

Union refectory, where every lunchtime

the queue trails out of the refec. door

and across the foyer. Congratulations

to Mr Mooney on this one, at least.

By the way, if you don't like the

queues, the Union Bar serves sand­

wiches in the Lower Lounge at

lunchtimes. Hot meals at weekends

are also on the cards.

gThe RCS Union General Committee

decided on Monday that the ICU,

ICWA, C&GU and RSMU Presidents

would only get a single complimentary

ticket to the R C S Silwood Ba l l .

Formerly they had received a double

ticket. At, say, £15 a double ticket

for this year's formal balls, double

complimentaries add £60 to the

event's bil l ie: £1 to each double

bought for Silwood, the ICWA Ball &

Mines Ba l l , and at least 50p a double

for Guilds Dinner and Dance. Including

F E L I X , N O V E M B E R 12th 1976 - 3

Freshers' Dinners complimentaries,

£350 is 'spent' on free tickets; most

of the tickets are used by the five

Presidents. Numbers at formal balls

are dropping because of the ticket

price . . . the solution seems obvious.

s Sorry about the state of last week's

editorial, the rush to get F E L I X to

you prevented accurate proof reading

here. Apologies too to Mr Davey,

whose name got spelt three different

ways.

Due to a slight cock-up by myself

the Rag edition of F E L I X will now

be sold on 3rd December. Next week's

edition will photo - preview Rag Week.

Thanks to Omega, the Herriot-Watt

University paper, for allowing us to

use the dalek cartoon last week.

Dear S i r , — With reference to your a r t i c le headed " M a s c o t W r a n g l e s " , in F E L I X N o . 432, we wou ld l i ke to make seve ra l p o i n t s .

John E l k i n , gu i l dshee t ed i to r , d i d dr ive h is v e h i c l e at the R C S f reshers , and continued to dr ive backwards and forwards, h i t t i ng numerous p e o p l e . A s Mr E l k i n was reve rs i ng , p resumably for another attempt at the c rowd , a w ine wa i te r removed h is ign i t i on keys for the sa fe ty of a l l persons p resen t . T h e t a then entered the dinner ac ross the bonnet of the gu i l ds car as i t was now b l o c k i n g the doors .

Immediately af ter the inc iden t , gu i lds main ta ined that Mr E l k i n had not rammed the f reshers and that he a l w a y s drove at speed around th is a rea at that time of night anyway . However in the l ight of overwhe lming ev idence to the cont rary , he later to ld R C S that he 'DELIBERATELY RAMMED THE FRESHERS BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THAT HiS FRIENDS WERE IN TROUBLE.'

The whole inc iden t was v iewed by a leas t two members of the gu i l ds e x e c , V i c e - P r e s i d e n t , ' Dave L o r d and Hon S e c , M ike Wheat ley , who were both w a i t i n g , a long w i t h a number o f f g u i l d s m a n , in the L y o n - P lay fair l i b ra ry . On no t i c i ng that m in ima l damage had occured to Mr E l k i n ' s ca r , Mr Wheat ley s a i d 'RCS are going to pay for this'. We wou ld l i ke to po in t out that damage to ca rs c a n be pa id for (al though we have no in tent ion of doing s o in this ins tance) damage to peop le cannot .

T h i n g s may have been di f ferent had an at t i tude,

s i m i l a r to Mr E l k i n ' s , been taken by R C S U , and the J 4 van been used to prevent Mr E l k i n from ramming R C S freshers e s c o r t i n g T h e t a . Mr E l k i n may not have been qui te s o happy had the' J 4 (a somewhat larger v e h i c l e ) rammed h im when the dr iver ' s a w that h i s budd ies were in t roub le ' !

The R o y a l C o l l e g e of S c i e n c e Un ion fee l that the who le point o f Masco t s a t tend ing F r e s h e r s D inners has been put in jeopardy by con t inued aggrava t ion dur ing th is y e a r ' s e v e n t s . Dur ing the f i rs t d inne r , road b l o c k s c o m p r i s i n g 50gal o i l drums, b reeze b l o c k s , m i l k - c r a t e s , road s igns and s c a f f o l d i n g po les were p l a c e d ac ross c o l l e g e roads in an attempt to prevent T h e t a from l e a v i n g c o l l e g e , they wou ld have worked had they not been no t i ced dur ing the d inner , as they were p l a c e d in s u c h p o s i t i o n s as to be l i k e l y to c a u s e v e h i c l e s to c r a s h . Members of g u i l d s , who have d r i ven spanner to and from d inners in the pas t , agreed that th is ' was b la ten t l y dangerous and c o u l d have c a u s e d se r ious in jury and p o s s i b l e l o s s of l i f e .

A t the thi rd dinner ( L i f e S c i e n c e s ) , Mr E l k i n was s e e n on more than one o c c a s i o n to be d r i v i n g pas t the window of the d inner at s p e e d , s p o i l i n g the atmoshpere of the d inner for many peop le .

Bo' on the road to Brighton; the Rector is on the far left. The two drivers are (L to R)

Paul Bentley and Dave Willey

Guilds Union's Boanerges, a 1902 James

and Brown car, has competed in all but three

of the anual 'London to Brighton runs' for

vintage motor vehicles. On Sunday Bo' again

successfully completed the trip, but had an

unusual number of problems, resulting in a late

arrival for lunch at the Nevill House Hotel.

Bo' left Hyde Park at 8.20am amidst a deafen­

ing Boomalaka from hordes of Guilds &

L'Institut Francais supporters. Two coach­

loads of supporters later saw Bo' arrive in

Brighton.

Despite the initially warm and sunny weather,

trouble was soon at hand. Engine overheating

caused Bo' to stop at Streatham for more water.

His (Bo's) passage was further hampered by a

surfeit of spectators who caused long delays

and traffic queues.

A mysterious lack of engine power, which

restricted the use of the two top gears, also

slowed the party down.

Our next misfortune was the weather; by

Redhill heavy rain showers (and hail) had

soaked and frozen the bedraggled crew, which

included the Rector. The latter had thought of

such eventualities, and lessened our sorrows

with a bottle of 'purified water',which looked &

tasted suspiciously like whisky. Another

helping hand came from an umbrella passed

delicately by Dave Willey's wife from her

Austin Seven to Bo ' .

Another stop to check the water-level and

Bo' managed to crawl into Brighton. At this

point the engine started behaving itself and

top gear was used to take Bo ' triumphantly

across the finishing line at 30mph.

The Bo' crew collected their medal, went

for lunch and met three previous Bo' drivers,

who'd arrived three hours earlier. Then came

the traditional team outing on the dodgems,

the return journey — with Bo' safely on its

trailer — and the traditional drink in the Union

Bar. We're now looking to next vear.

Bo's crew comprised of Paul Bentley (Bo'

Driver) and Dave Willey (guest co-driver).

Passengers were The Rector, Sir Brian Flowers;

Bo' Belle, Sue Winterburn and Guilds President

Steve Dearing. „ , _ ., „ ° Paul Bentley &

FELIX, NOVEMBER 12th 1976 - 9

Exiled boys a Croydon hit Wishbone A s h at Fa i r f ie ld

At 10.11pm on Sunday

even ing Lau r i e W ise f i e l d

ra i sed h is hands in the a i r ,

looked a lo f t at the large

crowd rap id ly fes toon ing i tse l f

around the s t a g e , and a s k e d

everyone to c l a p a long to the

f i rs t of two enco res 'Bad

Weather Blues'.

He had no need to worry,

Croydon had proved a good

g ig for Wishbone A s h , whose

year of e x i l e ' in A m e r i c a h a s

produced a t ighter and more

hard h i t t ing ' A s h than I had

hi therto s e e n .

The lads play wi th more

vehemence now than when I

last saw them, at Read ing

F e s t i v a l in 1975. They c a n

turn on the tender tones when

needed but somehow managed

to lose the e s s e n c e of ' T i m e

W a s ' . The menac ing moments

of th is crowd warmer were

ce r ta in l y there, but the

d e l i c a c y was done s a c r i f i c i e d

to a rough rock ' n ' ro l l t reat­

ment.

The rest of the even ing was

a d i f ferent s to ry . The more

earthy and s i m p l i s t i c approach

the band now take to the i r

mus i c ce r ta in l y adds f i re and

exc i tement , a l though I remained

un impressed wi th the new

numbers in the set (from the

'New England' L P due for

r e l eas e soon) . The f i r s t song

I managed to r ecogn i se w a s

'The King Will Come' from the

Argus a l bum , Here the heav ie r ,

more invo lved gui tar work has

re in forced the in t roduc t ion ,

w h i l s t more co l l abo ra t i on

w i t h i n the band on v o c a l s has

produced a ha rsh , gu tsy ,

sound that somehow remains

penetrat ing and s t range ly

me lod i c .

A torrrent of gui tar r i f fs

from the bands gu i t a r i s t s

introduced 'The Warrior',

another c rowd-p lease r . The

track does have some tender

v o c a l work , and Mar t in Turner

H a l l s , Croydon (October 31st)

proved more than adequa te

treatment here .

It was not unt i l ha l f -way

through a new number 'Laura

Live', when I was becoming

d i s i n te res t in the i r new work,

that I r e a l i s e d how w e l l

drummer Steve Upton had been

p l a y i n g . T roub le w a s he 'd been

so on top of the songs from

the s tar t , that I'd a lmos t

forgotten h im!

'Persephone' from the

There's the Pub L P was

Andy P o w e l l ' s f i rs t chance of

the even ing to e x c e l . Andy

and Lau r i e play m u s i c a l

j e s t i ng , each one v i e i n g for

a better gu i tar r i f f . In th i s

song Andy had the be t te r

themes, managing to s t radd le

the song we l l w i th a mixture

of in terwoven gui tar l i c k s and

bland up front gu i tar Work.

L a u r i e , in a t h i ck ' p i n ­

st r ipe demin ' t rouser and

wa i s t coa t comb ina t ion i s

equa l l y ta lented as he showed

on 'The King Will Come' and

'It Started In Heaven, But

Finished With Rock 'n' Roll'.

D e s p i t e the r ' n ' r nature of

the lat ter , it does p o s s e s s

enough va r i a t i on to let L a u r i e

put the band 's i nde l i b l e stamp

on it. A s i ts sounds bounced

around the h a l l , add ing an

en th ra l l i ng e c h o to the band,

the mirror ba l l s tar ted sp inn ing

at it looked l i ke the end of the

even ing .

Not s o ; 'Time Was' was f o l ­

lowed by a d a z z l i n g ve r s i on of

the ever -popu lar 'Blowing

Free'. A n d then came the

enco res as the c rowd spawned

around thei r he roes , and

Mar t in Turner s ta r ted to

undress between numbers.

Jus t th ink , another encore and

he 'd have been down to h i s

pants !
