Theft in Lexham
Gardens
A thief ransacked three rooms in the basement of 48 Lexham
Gardens, a College head tenancy, last Friday. A large carving
knife which was removed from one flat and found in another, may
have been used to force the other doors or even as a potential
weapon.
Two of the rooms (occupied by M r J . Mart in Taylor, I C U External
Affairs Officer, and M r Tom Owen, R C S Academic Affairs Officer)
were unwisely left with only a small Yale top lock to secure them, the
stronger Chubb bottom locks being left off. These doors were easily
forced and access to a third room was gained via a window. The thief
quickly looked through the contents of the rooms and took money from
electricity meters as well as any loose change that was lying around.
Residents returned to the basement soon after midday Friday and
discovered the three open doors. A fourth room which had been
securely locked was undisturbed. The police were notified and in the
evening detectives looked for finger prints and took short statements.
The thief has not yet been apprehended and residents are advised to
double lock their doors whenever they leave the premises.
RCSU Bolt
With Spanner
A T A P P R O X I M A T E L Y 1:45pm yesterday a team of 20 R C S U
students successfuly violated Spanner and Bolt, the mascots of City and
Guilds College Union.
A raid was carefully planned, centring on yesterday's Guilds U G M .
The plan suffered numerous setbacks but eventually succeeded owing
to the initiative of the team members.
The house where the two mascots were kept was located and two
R C S U members approached the door in the guise of C o u n c i l
workmen. By some means they managed to gain access and, with a
further group following them, kidnapped both mascots.
Spanner and Bolt were taken away to a secret destination,
somewhere in the U K .
It was revealed earlier this Scottish first year physicist, Wednesday afternoon.
His action was prompted by
finding his long lost swimming
trunks amongst his home beer-
making kit last Saturday.
M r Deeny was reported to
have said that although the water
was a little cold he found the
exercise both re freshing and
inv igorat ing . H e encouraged
other IC students to make more
use of the marvellous Olympic
sized swimming pool, but not on
Mondays and Wednesdays.
M r D e e n y expressed his
intention to swim twice a week
on a regular basis as part of his
keep fit campaign. His campaign
was heralded last weekend with a
walking trip in Dorset. As well as
giving up smoking, M r Deeny
expressed a desire to generally
live a more "healthy and ful-
filling life from now on," and
get "that old twinkle" back in his
eye.

in particular, and the attitude
of people in office of any kind
in general I would like to take
exception to the vastly over-

apathy' . D u r i n g my time at
College, like N . L a m b r o u , I
too have formed opinions of
the student body. However,
although at this time last year
I too thought our students to
be an apathetic bunch, I have
since changed my mind .
It is very easy to fall into the
trap of th inking " I organised
this wonderful event for them,
but they were too apathetic to
turn up. It's not my fault . " But
this is in my opinion totally the
wrong attitude. T h e reason
why people don't go to an
event is because they don't
t h i n k t h e y w i l l e n j o y i t

not noticed that it is happen-

Soapbox last week highlights
a c o n t i n u i n g headache for
c l u b s o r g a n i s i n g m e e t i n g s
with outside speakers. O S C ' s
lecture on 'New Nations ' was
competing for audiences with
three other meetings.
T h e problem is clubs have
no way of knowing what other
meetings have already been
arranged for a particular day
w h e n i n v i t i n g speakers. A
simple solution, surely, would
be to keep a diary in the
U n i o n Office in which clubs
could record details of meet-
ings that they had arranged.
Th is could then be consulted
by anyone who wanted to
know whether a particular
day would still be suitable for
invi t ing a speaker.

Dear Sir
It is w i t h interest and great
dismay that I have read the
article of Frank James and the
letters of M r L y a l l and M r
M e r c e r . I w o u l d l i k e to
apologise to Frank for the lack
o f p r e c i s i o n o f b o t h M r
Mercer and M r Lya l l ' s views.
F o r the last two weeks I have
w r i t t e n a l e t t e r for e a c h
F E L I X and yet not forwarded
them. N o w , I cannot remain
silent.
T o say that I am a Christ ian
needs clarifying for both M r
Mercer and M r L y a l l have
said that they are Christians. I
believe that every word from
Genesis to Revelation is Gods
inspired word. I believe in a
six day creation and have yet
to f i n d one sc ient i f i c fact
which can say to me " L o o k ,
here is evidence that demands
evolution and forbids crea-
t i o n " . I challenge anybody
who reads this letter. M a y I
point a few things out.
1. T h e order of creation is
not the order of evolution.
T h e sun was created after
planets to state on bibl ical
fact.
2. Genesis 1 and Genesis 2
do not contradict. In Genesis
1 G o d says " T h i s is the order I
created heaven and earth. In
chap 2 G o d reveals a little
more, some of the detail, of
how H e created the world.
(Be careful with the Hebrew
tenses.)
3. The word for 'day' in
G e n 1 can be translated age.
But Exodus 2 0 v 8 - l l points
out that the Creat ion was
accomplished in six twenty
lour days. M a y I finally leave
a word of advice to the critics
of G e n 1 and 2. If you don't
believe it don't try and mock
or re fute i t ; y o u d e c e i v e
yourself. If you don't believe
it, leave it alone.
T o M r Mercer and M r
L y a l l ; if you don't believe the
first two chapters of Genesis as
G o d s i n s p i r e d w o r d , y o u
might as well throw the whole
book away as unreliable and
rely on evolution lor salva-

W e i n the I s l a m i c Soc
w o u l d l i k e to c o r r e c t the
erroneous assumptions made
by Messrs James and L y a l l in
their letters to you in last
week's F E L I X . These mis-
i n t e r p r e t a t i o n s were made
b o t h w i t h r e g a r d to t h e
objectives and contents of our
article.
Firstly our article was n o t
in response to M r James' . O u r
intention was to try to show in
a necessarily generalized way,
that in submission to the W i l l
of God—-i.e. Islam—both faith
and reason are united.
Since the age of enlight-
enment in the West, when
everything began to be re-
d u c e d to m a n - m a d e l a w s
t h r o u g h s c i ent i f i c m e t h o d -
ology, faith in the unseen has
been socially debased. Socio-
l o g i s t s h a v e s h o w n t h a t
religion is at best i l logical and
at worst a cruel contrick; " the
op ium of the poor" .
A l though some, like M r
L y a l l , can honestly say that
the advance of science has not
affected his belief in a Creator,
n e v e r t h e l e s s it c a n n o t be
denied that generally, belief
i n a s u p r e m e b e i n g a n d
therefore worhsip of H i m has
been pushed away from the
centre of the stage in Western
society. Material ist ic concerns
have become the objects of
reason, and the worship of
G o d has become less than a
secondary concern.

Kinnock on Cuts
N e i l K i n n o c k M l ' , the S h a d o w E d u c a t i o n Secretary, attracted a
sizeable audience on Tuesday when he discussed the L a b o u r Party ' s
alternative lo educat ion cuts. H i s speech firstly reviewed the current
s i tuat ion , and then indicated L a b o u r ' s plans.
T h e C u r r e n t Situation
M i K i i m o e k s t a l e d t h a t , i n h u m a n t e r m s , the C o n s e r v a t i v e
government lias a lready exc luded .many thousands of people f rom
highei educat ion. T h i s is c o m p o u n d e d financially, in that redundancy
payments of stall w i l l p robab ly outweigh the savings achieved. T h e
result is that educat ion cuts are " even more destructive than even the
government i n t e n d e d . " T h e danger is that the cuts, a i m e d p r i m a r i l y at
arts courses, wi l l undermine the structure of most universities. A
p r o b a b l e c o n s e q u e n c e , he s a i d , w o u l d be t h e c r e a t i o n o f
ovcrspeeialisod " m o n o t e c h n i c s " . S i r K e i t h Joseph w o u l d natura l ly l ike
to see such establishments full of students " w i t h short ha ir , shiny shoes
a n d l i v i n g at home on student l oans" .
T h e L a b o u r Alternative
M r K i n n o c k stated L a b o u r ' s educat ion pol icy to be expansion a n d
change. L a b o u r w o u l d restore higher educat ion financially, but w o u l d
expect universities to argue their case more effectively. In .particular,
the animosi ty between colleges a n d the general pub l i c must be healed.
H e said that university admissions procedures need to be changed , so
t h a t they a r e p r e o c c u p i e d w i t h a c c e p t i n g , a n d not r e j e c t i n g ,
prospective students. F o r this, more introductory courses a n d more
m o d u l a r courses should be started. M o r e o v e r , a selection c r i ter ion
w o u l d be w h i c h candidates cou ld best take advantage of higher
educat ion .
O n overseas students, M r K i n n o c k rejected the current po l i cy of
impos ing full-cost fees. T h e L a b o u r P a r t y resents what he termed the
government 's " chauv in i s t p re jud i ce " , as it results in the sole cr i ter ion
for selection being money. H e advocated that overseas students be
recommended for a place purely on ab i l i ty . A propor t i on of overseas
development spending, funded by N o r t h Sea o i l , w o u l d sponsor those
students who can't afford the lees.
After the meeting. L ' n i o n President N i c k M o r t o n talked to M r
K i n n o c k . T h e President w i l l , if a l l goes we l l , arrange an appointment
to discuss IC.'s case wi th the Shadow E d u c a t i o n Secretary.

s c i e n t i f i c t h e o r y a n d the
Q u r a n (Gods last vevelation
to M a n ) says about creation
and faith in G o d are united in
the religion of Islam.
It is in this context, alone,
that we quoted the Q u r a n i c
passages concerning creation
and not as M r James mis-
c h e v i o u s l y a s s u m e d . W e
believe that from our common
ancestor A d a m through to the
last prophet, M o h a m m e d , the
message to m a n k i n d has been
the single one of the unity and
oneness of God. E a c h prophet
from A d a m through to A b r a -
h a m , L o t , J o s e p h , M o s e s ,
Jesus and Prophet M o h a m -
med came to teach his part i -
cu lar people how to worship
the O n e G o d — a l t h o u g h the
last prophet h a d a mission to
the whole of mank ind . But
always, the prophets brought
the same universal message of
Islam; submission to the w i l l
of one G o d alone. W e do no
therefore countenance asso-
ciation of any partners with
G o d — w h e t h e r a n c e s t o r s ,
idols, H o l y Ghosts or "sons
and daughters" of G o d .

should hold a seminar? A l l I
w i l l say here is that whilst as a
theory D a r w i n i s m is adequate
to explain some of the evolu-
tionary processes in the plant
and an imal k ingdom, it is
inapplicable to mankind . T h e
Omnipotent Creator , created
us from nothing and returns
us to nothingness—and on the
Day of Resurrection, each one
of us w i l l be held account-
able for our sojourn on earth.

path of belief in G o d , worship

Accommodation for next year
The time has come to start thinking seriously about whether you want to apply to live in College accommodation next year and about what type of accommodation you want to go for.
Application forms will be available from Student Services on Monday, February 15. The closing date for applications is Friday, March 12. On Friday, February 12, FELIX will carry an illustrated supplement giving full details of available accommodation and how to apply for it.
While you are waiting for the FELIX supplement, here are a few thoughts to keep you going.
H a / / s and Houses
For the purpose of applications to Halls and Houses, you will be considered either as a re-applicant if you have lived in a Hall or House before or a new applicant if you haven't. People who have lived in Residence before can only be considered as new-applicants if:
a) They lived in Residence as an under-graduate and will be a postgraduate next session.
b) They have only lived in Residence during the second half session i.e. they moved in after the beginning of the spring term. Third Year New Applicants
It is anticipated that all third year new applicants will be successful in obtaining place in Residence, in single room accommo-dation. This is by no means a guarantee since we may have an unexpectedly high demand. Nevertheless, there is a good chance that we will be able to house everybody in this category.
Second Year New Applicants
Because of the priority given to third years, second year new applicants stand less of a chance of getting in and, if they do, there is a high probability that they will be offered shared rooms. Re-appllcants
These are selected by a sub-committee of each Hall and House Committee whose members have not applied for a further year in Residence. Postgraduates
Postgraduate re-applicants are treated in the same way as other re-applicants. Applications from postgraduate new applicants are considered by the Postgraduate Admissions Tutors in the Departments. The closing date for these applications is Friday, July 16.
Head Tenancies and College Flats
Present Head Tenancies include:
Hamlet Gdns, Hammersmith: flats for 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8.
Cambridge Gdns, Notting Hill: a flat for 4 and
one for 6.
Lexham Gdns, Kensington: flats for 3, 4, 5, 6,
and 8, also double flatlets and single bedsits.
Earls Court Square, Earls Court: single and
double rooms.
Sinclair Gardnes, Shepherds Bush: flats for 5
and 8.
Gerrard Mansions, Soho: flats for 2.
The College flats which will be available are
two Southside penthouse flats and one mews
flat behind Southside—all flats suitable for 4
people.
You can make one application for Resi-
dence and one for the Head Tenancies and
flats, if the latter application is successful,
your application for Residence will be
withdrawn.
If you are applying for the Head Tenancies
and flats, then except in the case of single
rooms and bedsits, you will need to apply
with one or more others. You will only be
considered for accommodation suitable for
the size of group in which you apply.
I hope this has started you thinking about
next year. Look out for next week's FELIX and
the illustrated supplement (we should have
some extra copies of the supplement at
Student Services if you miss the FELIX). If
you have any queries in the meantime, don't
hesitate to contact us.

W e have seen the size of the planet earth shrink at an incredible rate this
century. Unt i l relatively recently few people ever left the security of their
own town or village and the thought of venturing overseas never entered
their heads. This was at a time when it would take months, even years of
uncomfortable travel to reach your destination.
It took manifest dest iny , to i l , sweat and great hardship for the
Amer ican people to traverse their continent in a century. W o w all it takes
is $140 and a G r e y h o u n d bus to take you to L o s Angeles in a day or so.
This century has seen newer and faster forms of transportation. Roads
and motorways have meandered their way through most parts of the
western world , with their tributaries running past everyone's doorstep.
Airplanes particularly have seen the time for journeys that would have
taken months melt away to mere hours.
In an age when we can travel through the air faster than the speed of
sound, when we can get out of bed in L o n d o n to make it in time for tea in
N e w Y o r k , what does the future of transportation hold for us?

A r e you an E d Emshwiller fan? I
am! That 's why this Tuesday is my
date of the year because we are
showing (6:30pm, M E 2 2 0 , etc.)
Relativity, the all-time classic film,
of, er, um, well yes. It's hard to
describe, but if you want to see a
film containing pot-holing, dancing,
fencing, nudity, violence, random
numbers, the size and complexity
of reality, and the catchiest tune in
known space, all inside twenty
minutes, don't miss it.
A lso in the programme, Plan 9
from Outer Space, the worst film
ever m a d e . A l i e n s a t t e m p t to
prevent mankind from destroying
everything with a new form of
energy they are about to discover
by resurrecting bodies with their
a m a z i n g r a y s f r o m the i r f ly ing
saucer. It stars Bela Lugosi and
Criswel l (who?) and must be seen
to be disbelieved. The last time I
saw it was at 3 o 'clock in the
morning. It took me weeks to
recover.
W e challenge you to see both
films in one programme, but be
warned, the result could be a
permanent personality change, so
t ry not to t u r n up u n d e r the

Debating Society
For those of you who have not yet woken up after your Christmas
holiday, the IC Debating Society held a debate o n Capital ism in the
second week of term. For those of you who woke up long enough to drag
yourself to the debate, thank you for your support.
W e are planning further debates this term, including, hopefully, a
Nuclear Weapons debate, and, possibly, a South Afr i ca—Aparthe id
debate. Almost certainly there will be a debate on the superiority of the
male sex (no contest really), which will be held in a place with ready
refreshments, and debated by members of the society.
W h i c h brings me to the next, and most important point: membership.
A t p r e s e n t we have on ly the five c o m m i t t e e m e m b e r s : D e r m o t
M c C a u l e y , Maths 3; Chr i s Lee , Maths 3; Steve Turner , Physics 1; Steve
Parr , Physics 1; Steve Chamber la in , Physics 1.
A s well as the superiority debate, I have a few other ideas, but these
can only be implemented if we have some membes. C a r d s are now
available, and the fee will be 50p (contact one of the above five).
Jo in the society now, and we can have plenty of serious, half-serious
and lunatic debates; delay too long, and the society will fold up as it has
done in the past; and this would be a sad end to a valiant effort to bring
informative entertainment to I C .

P S : Sorry for the solemn report. Y o u will cheer me up no end if lots of

out to be " . . . .a major contribution to lunchtime entertaiment".

CND
The first two lectures in the series "Nuc lear War in Europe" (organised
by the College E N D group and Humanities department) have seen both
Professor Nei ld and L o r d Carver condemn the danger and futility of
Defence and Foreign Policies centred around nuclear weapons. Without
condition both speakers supported C N D ' s premises and arguments for
nuclear disarmament. However, L o r d Carver raised doubts about C N D ' s '
proposed process of disarmament. The lectures were both attended by
upwards of 200 people', a trend hopefully repeated with the third last
Tuesday. The last lecture of the series takes the form of a debate
between Pro fessonMichae l Pentz and L o r d Chalfont. This promises to
be a heavyweight tussle between two accomplished speakers, and it is
important that both sides (especially C N D ' s ) are adequately represented
in the audience. Furthermore, please note that a veteran disarmer, L o r d
Zuckerman , will present the sixth Jubilee Lecture entitled 'Nuclear
Illusion and Reality'. The Rector will chair the occasion which takes place
in the Great Hall on February 18 at 5:30pm.

The Hypochondriac by Moliere. Trans-
lated by Alan Drury. Directed by Michael
Bogdanov. The Olivier, National Theatre.
" O h , the powers of nature! She knows what
we need, and the doctors know nothing."
Benvenuto Cellini, Autobiograpy (1558-66)
"Doctors cut, turn, and torture the sick, and
then demand of them an undeserved fee for
such services."
Heraclitus (c 500BC)
Moliere would doubtlessly have nodded with
mocked approval at these words. He was
obsessed with illness, medicines and doctors
all his life, and no less than six of his plays are
comic but biting attacks on the medical
profession.
The incomparable Daniel Massey plays the
totally self-absorbed hypochondriac, Argan, in
Moliere's play Le Malade Imaginaire, otherwise
known as The Hypochondriac. Argan draws
comfort in his pitiful life from only two sources:
his loving wife and enemas (liquid medicines
injected into the rectum). In between hurried
shuffles to the toilet catalysed by ingesting his
beloved medicines he tries to marry off his
daughter (played by Emily Morgan who also
plays her very young sister in a truly comic and
unforgettable way) to a doctor. With Michael
Bogdanov directing in his typically exuberant
style, the result is a hilarious and delightful
evening of buffoonery.
The Hypochondriac, like all Moliere's plays,
is based on the Italian Commedia delVArte, a
form of rough, improvised theatre abounding
in earthy humour and bursting with vitality. It
is an art-form that is currently enjoying a great
popular revival and it is one that 1 personally
have taken a great liking to. The National
Theatre production retains these elements
which materialise in the form of revels,
masques, street plays, acrobatic displays and
song and dance. The Commedia delFArte
consists of popular 'stock' characters and I
was surprised to discover that Moliere took as
his model (he himself acted in his plays) the
character of Scaramouche who clownishly
personifies a cowardly braggart. Scaramouche!
Now there's an interesting aside! Are we not

name Scaramouche, is no more than a self-
confessed cowardly braggart, so cowardly he
has to conceal his identity under this
pseudonym?
The Hyprochondriac must be one of the
most enjoyable plays currently on stage in Lon-
don. However, it is unfortunately coming to a
close and its last four performances are on
February 15, 16 and 17 (matinee and evening). I
am very tempted to go again—something I very
rarely do.

Good by CP. Taylor directed by Howard
Davies. The Royal Shakespeare Company
at the Warehouse.
This is the first time I had been to The
Warehouse and I was somewhat overawed (or
perhaps the word should be 'underawed') by
its interior, and coming in with only a few
moments to spare meant that I wasn't paying
the attention I should when the play began.
The small theatre occupies the loft of an old
building and the overall appearance is one of
shabbiness and temporariness, but it does
possess a rather likeable intimacy. The
Warehouse is the R S C ' s experimental
platform, and such current successes as
Educating Rita began life here.
C P . Taylor, author of Good, unfortunately
died at a tragically early age only a few weeks
back, just when his work was achieving
national recognition. Good is a mature and
intelligent play about a 'good' man, a lecturer
in German Literature, who gets caught up in
the maelstrom of the T h i r d Reich and
eventually becomes its turning force. This
character, Haider, is played with commanding
presence by Alan Howard, who has just won
The Standard Award for Best Actor for his
performance in the play. Haider unintentionally
becomes involved with the forerunner of the
Nazi party and although he vaguely perceives
in the distance the injustices and horrors Nazi
policy is leading to, his immediate personal
problems are of more importance to him. His
Jewish friend tries to awaken him, but to no
avail. Haider suffers from a mental disturbance
in which he clearly hears orchestral music in
moments of personal drama. This is a clever
device employed by Taylor to add lighter
touches to the play, the actors bursting into
song now and again to the accompaniment of a
trio, but I did feel slightly uneasy about this at
times; the subject upon which the play is based
is of the type that demands a finely tuned
balance between humour and d r a m a .
Unaware of the maelstrom inexorably pulling
him towards its centre, Haider is only
conscious of the people and the problems
immediately around him.
The play is based on documentary material,
including unpublished transcripts of interviews
with SS officers who played an important part
in administering the Nazi concentration
camps. But above all the play is a work of
imagination and of the present day; of people
not having the time, the foresight or inclination
to appreciate where world events are leading
and by their very inaction bring about the
arrival of horrendous situations which those
world events foreshadowed. Hitler said in
c o n n e c t i o n with the Jews " t h e art of
leadership... .consists in consolidating the
attention of the people against a single
adversary and taking care that nothing will
split up that attention." This 'art of leadership'
is again being practised today, but this time
across the Atlantic
Good has been a sell-out success since it
opened last September but discussions are
underway about a possible further London life
for the p r o d u c t i o n at the end of the
Warehouse session in March, followed by a
season in Broadway.

The Battle for the Labour Party by David
and Maurice Kogan, Fontana, £1.75, 151
pages.
This book is about the activities of the left
wing groups in the Labour Party. It takes a
fairly objective approach, it's not the sort of
book Denis Healey might write, but it's clearly
sympathetic to the right of the Labour Party, it
concentrates on what's happened between
1979 and the end of 1981, with a little
background material about dissent in the
Labour Party since 1900. The organisations
described in the most details are the Campaign
for Labour Party Democracy (which pressed
for the constitutional reforms) and later the
Rank and File Mobilising Committee (which
supported Tony Benn's election campaign.
The R F M C recently appears to have been
superseded by 'Labour Liason '82').
If you think that that paragraph was boring
then you aren't going to like the book, which is
written like a textbook. It's a pity about the
style because the subject matter is important,
so long as there's still a chance of Labour
forming a future government. The book makes
it clear that the left are much better organised
and more intelligent in the way they persue
their aims than the right wing of the party. But
you can see this already from the big changes
the leftist groups have accomplished in the last
few years (compulsory reselection, the
electoral college, the SDP). More interesting
are the descriptions of exactly hou; the
activists go about getting support for their
aims. They depend on the fact that local
parties are always controlled in practice by a
small number of people who bother to turn up
to meetings and stand for committees (just like
ICU). "The C L P D bombarded every constitu-
ency with campaigning material which
included the standard resolutions to be
proposed at that year's conference." So at a
conference, forty or fifty constituency parties
might all propose the same resolution (skillfully
drafted for them by the CLPD) giving the
impression of enormous popular pressure for
constitutional change. There 's nothing
underhand about such tactics of course, and
the book emphasises that the left are generally
careful to follow constitutional methods.
The book also deals with the deputy
leadership campaigns, involving the Rank and
File Mobilising Committee (partly Trotskyist,
the Kogans say) and its backing for Tony
Benn. Then there's fourteen pages or so about
Ken Livinstone and the G L C , then the last
chapter which is a mildly pretentious and
boring discussion of the 'theoretical' basis for
the left's campaigns. The authors are better at
reporting and describing events than they are
at getting at the reasons why they happen and
the postcript, added a few months after the
main text was finished, is one of the most
interesting parts of the book. They recount
how the parliamentary party is becoming more
left wing: "Of 25 MPs retiring, 17 had voted for
Healey and were replaced by candidates of the
outside or inside left." It looks like a race
between the activists and the SDP to se who
can finish off the Labour Party first. On the
whole, 'The Battle for the Labour Party' is a
reasonably interesting but not very well written
book.

Wood's Golden Turkey atlC
Imperial College Science Fiction Society is to
show the film Plan 9 from Outer Space on
Tuesday (6:30pm, Mech Eng 220), which has
been hailed as the bad film cult classic.
Plan 9 concerns the bid by alien beings to
prevent the destruction of the entire universe.
To do this they must stop the human race
from developing a bomb which would explode
the sun. When peaceful methods fail they
invoke Plan 9, whereby the human dead are
raised from the grave and set against their own
race.
The film has received many awards: The
Worst Film Ever Made at The Worst Film
Festival held in New York in November 1980,
and IVorsf Film in the book The Golden
Turkey Awards.
The plot is complemented by some highly
amusing acting and dialogue. Director Edward
D . Wood Jnr . shot about three minutes
footage of veteran actor (and friend) Bela
Lugosi stalking and around his home dressed
as Dracula. When Lugosi died, a "double" was
needed to complete the film, who was a good
foot taller and concealed his imposture with a
cloak draped over half of his face.
Some of the classic dialogue is typified by
the line "Inspector Clay is dead. Murdered.
And somebody is responsible!"
Entrance is 20p to members, 50p to non-
members.

Solutions to this week's puzzle, together
with any comments or criticisms, should be
sent to me at the FELIX Office as usual. There
will be a prize of £5 (donated by Mend-a-Bike)
for the correct solution randomly selected at
1:00pm on Wednesday.
Last Week's Solution
Oi the forty-five people who discovered that
three long and shaggies together with two
short and sophisticated make up 150 grams,
Steve Westcough, Maths 1, was chosen as the
winner, and he can collect his cheque on
Monday afternoon.
Many of you thought that the last two
puzzles were too easy. Well, this week's is the
sort which some people will see immediately,
and others will find very hard; it's just a matter
of spotting the correct approach. Next week
I'll try for something really tough!
Next week's Ents film is McVicar starring
Roger Daltry and Adam Faith. It is the story
of the convicted criminal James McVicar,
formerly Britain's "Most Wanted M a n " .

Thirds C o n t r a r y to expectations Belsize Park were
shit hot. But we were better. Yet again I C
had a far smaller pack, and wou ld have to
rely upon the backs lor any attacking play.
T e n minutes into the game saw some slick
passing to the wing , and intelligent play put
J u l i a n Nor ley away on the overlap for IC ' s
first try. I C kept up the pressure throughout
the first hal l taking advantage of Belsize's
mistakes, w h i c h resulted in J o h n W i t t r i c k
pounc ing on a loose bal l for our second try.
T h e second hal l saw Belsize attack hard
denying I C possession of clean bal l . After
conceding a try, spirited play took I C up the
field where Ian Magness forced his way over
for the t h i r d t r y . B e l s i z e l a t e r s cored a

W e lost 0-2, 20 ' / 2 pts—27pts .
In a light force 7 the team generously
offered to test U E A ' s boats to destruction.
In the first race the team got off to a good
start but this could not last for long. Bennett
and D a l t o n were rammed on the first beat in
a vicious (illegal) manoeuvre by the opposi -
tion. T h i s was followed by a dastardly move
(also illegal) against M i l l s and R e d m a n w h i c h
resulted in their subsequent capsize, they
then proceeded to dredge the channel for
twenty minutes. K e n n e d y and Butler , on
their way past, hysterical w i th laughter,
executed " a superb death r o l l " and j o ined
M i l l s and R e d m a n in their industrious work.
Not to be outdone Bennett and D a l t o n j o ined
in , per forming numerous ' immersion tests' on
their boat, and sank!! This meant an easy
win for D E A , 10 3 / 4 pts-16pts.
A l t e r a break to recover Bennett's boat,
ieffect repairs and eat lunch , the second race
iwas started wi th some trepidation. M i l l s and
K e n n e d y made good starts and the team
were placed 2, 3. 4 round the first mark. T h i s
temporary situation was soon rectified when,
at the second mark, K e n n e d y demonstrated a
classic 'gybe and swim for it ' manoeuvre.
This was copied beautifully by Bennett when
he arr ived at the same mark a few minutes
later. O n the second lap K e n n e d y repeated
his d i s p l a y s i m u l t a n e o u s l y w i t h a U E A

another goal from the forward line by scoring

FELIX, February 5, 1982 Page 9
Attention all Election Candidates The papers for the sabbatical elections go up
.next Friday and soon we will be flooded with
publicity for ICU and C C U elections. After
giving the matter of elections some thought it
has become apparent to me that it is very
difficult to be both informative and completely
unbiased. After all, it is hard for the electorate
at Imperial C o l l e g e to make i n f o r m e d
decisions, when all they have to rely on is the
candidates' own publicity in the form of
posters, handouts, a FELIX manifesto, IC
Radio and STOIC's promos.
For this reason I have decided to run a
special series of Soapbox articles running up
to the elections. Starting next week I invite any
member of College to submit articles on why
they think they are the right candidate for a
post or alternatively why someone else isn't.
You could even say what qualities you would
expect from anybody standing for a particular
position.
If the articles are concise, informative and to
the point then I shall attempt to print as many
as possible. This unique service gives both
candidates and electorate the chance to say
exactly what they want about the elections.
The only limitations will be length, factual
accuracy and, of course, the laws of libel.
So to start the ball rolling.
M r Harold Christopher Webb
This week Chris Webb, former External
Affairs Officer, came into the office to ask me
about publicity charges. It is rumoured that Mr
Webb is proposing to stand for ICU President.
In my opinion (and remember that these are
purely my personal feelings), Chris Webb is
just about the worst person who could
possibly stand for this post. The past two years
have been typified by a middle of the road
"reasonable" ICU President. John Passmore
had the added quality of being completely lazy
and a bit of a drunk, whilst Nick Morton, who
is a terribly nice person, has probably not
achieved everything he wanted to merely
because he is too easy going to stand up to
College.
Chris Webb, on the other hand is so wet
that he resembles Bangladesh after the
ravages of the monsoon. He is an ardent Tory,'
but is so middle of the road that he makes the
S D P look like the Hitler Youth. If he is elected
as ICU President then I think it will be a dark
day for IC Union.
I can see him now, agreeing with the Rector
over a large glass of claret and selling the
students down the river. He is a born politician
and as such has ambition which greatly
outweighs his ability. Sincerity is a word which
would not pass my lips when describing him.
What we need is a President with firm
opinions who will represent the students
strongly to the College authorities. Chris
Webb is not such a person.
Valentine's Day Next week there will be a special Valentines
section in the Small Ads column. Please collect
forms from the office and return by 5:30pm on
Tuesday if you want a short message included.
Publicity Offer
This time of year always becomes a bit of a
pain in the arse when the swarms of
prospective sabbaticals arrive at the office two
days before the elections wanting posters
printed. In a move to encourage would-be
sabbaticals to get publicity in early, I am
intending to have a special discount price for
any publicity handed (complete and ready for
printing) to me by 5:30pm on Tuesday.
This special offer is open to all candidates
and will allow those who have planned their
ideas well the chance to benefit just a little.
They could have a few extra posters and
handouts or even save some money!
M y very own radio show
I have accepted the invitation to appear on IC
Radio on Tuesday evening at about 8:00pm. I
will be interviewed live on air by ace presenter
Mo and will be asked about many aspects of
College life and, of course, FELIX.
So listen in on Tuesday if you want to learn
who James Deeny really is and where he buys
his coffee.

Last week Weatherspoon was able to buy a
piece of land on the other side of the path. It's
triangular in shape, with the path and the river
(forming an obtuse angle) as two of its sides,
and a long fence as the third side. But it's a
little large for Weatherspoon to cultivate on his
own, so he's planning to divide it into smaller
plots which he will share out among his friends.
Of course, it isn't that simple. Firstly,
Weatherspoon insists that each plot must be
triangular. And secondly, he objects to what
he calls 'long thin triangles'. He says they're
"all fence and no grass". So I've offered to
show him how to divide his field up into
triangular plots in such a way that no plot has
an angle greater than or equal to a right angle.
But I hope Weatherspoon realises he will be
sharing his land with at least—how many
others? Continued on page 8.
