No collections, say police, so

Procession may

Carnival in jeopardy

by D. I. WILLIAMS

ICs C A R N I V A L Board has

been informed by Chelsea police

that it cannot take street collec­

tions on Saturday, 14 May. The

procession of floats around the

locality may not, therefore, take

place.

This bombshell came only

minutes after IC Union Secretary

Phil Dean had announced at the

Union Meeting on Thursday, 24

February, a Red Cross collec­

tion in Kensington High Street,

which called on the College to

provide volunteers, on 10 May—

in the middle of Carnival Week. T h e p o l i c e e x p l a i n e d t o A n g e l a

Silwood Bal l saved Silwood Park Committee have

been trying to prevent the R.C.S.

from holding their annual Ball at

Silwood Park. Captain Barnes of that Committee sent a letter to

Professor Richards of the Zoo­logy Department, requesting that

the Ball should no longer be held. The reason was that it disrupted the Silwood programme

and was inconvenient for the resi­dents.

Anti-Semitism in USSR

A C A M P A I G N by the World Union of Jewish Students against

anti-semitism in the Soviet Union reached I.C. on March 1st, when

the Jewish and Communist Societies held a joint meeting addressed

by Gordon Hansman, a law student from University College. He

began his talk by stating that he was neither pro-communist, nor anti-

communist, but merely a Jew who was interested in combating anti-

semitism wherever it might occur.

Anti-semitism in the Soviet Union manifests itself in a number

of forms. First of all there is anti-semitism on an " official" level.

At one time, just after the revolution, Jews flooded into the Univer­

sities and into the professions which had been denied to them under

the Czars. To-day these numbers are small and falling, whereas the

statistics for other minority groups remain fairly constant.

I.C. qualified for the second round of the

Melville-Smith trophy when beating a North

London team by 10 imps (international

match points) in a close, keenly contested,

match. This competition differs from most

of the other national events in that it is a

ruling that no more than a third of the hands

may be played by the same partnership.

Two substitutes are allowed but generally,

just one team of four operates, each player

playing ten hands with the other three

players in turn, with the match being decided

on thirty hands.

Picasso examined

Copplestone at General Studies

Degrees e

without debt Perhaps the greatest thing

about Picasso is his ability to

change. Trewin Copplestone be­

gan his second talk on 20th cen­

tury art with a statement " Picas­

so realises he is Picasso." This

has meant that Picasso has been

able to examine his own work

critically, and rapidly, such that

after completing a picture in the

morning, he has painted a second

after dinner " according to his

new mood."
