Pooh men quick to rise

IN RESPONSE to Hull Uni­versity's Winnie-the-Pooh Soci­ety's open challenge to a Pooh-sticks & Hum-championship a reply was quickly forthcoming from IC last week. Pooh enthu­

siasts from all corners (of Tizard

Hall) were swift to reply to the

challenge.

Home Office

throws out

appeal O N L Y T H E ISSUE of a " Limited Appeal Licence " can save

the 1966 IC Carnival Procession. This the organisers applied for on

Monday at the suggestion of the British Red Cross Society following

the Home Office rejection of their appeal against the refusal by local

police forces to authorise street collections on Saturday, 14 May.

Carnival Chairman Chris Hocking contacted the Kensington

branch of the Red Cross on Thursday to seek an alteration of the

date of their collection—10 May. However, the Red Cross appeal

is being launched over the whole South-East of England, and was

so impossible to move.

A n alternative request to hold the Procession on the first Satur­

day of Carnival Week—7 May—was turned down by the Chelsea

police as another collection was scheduled for the Tuesday of that

week.

The last word on posters

SIR,

I have just read Mr. Baramkis

letter in FELIX for 9 March..

Not having Mr. Baramki's obvious

familiarity with army barracks or the

rooms of sex maniacs, I am in no

position to pass such strong judgment

on your poster as he is. However, as

one who has for some time had the

unenviable job of attempting to get

people to read posters, may I suggest

that before condemning the various

publicity officers in IC he should at­

tempt to find an easier solution than

banning sex.

In a College with so much internal

advertising—much of it of a very high

standard—it is difficult to get one's

posters read unless they are eye­

catching and stand out from the mass.

Having accepted this one simple

fact—obvious to those of even limited

intellect—we must find'an eye-catch­

ing poster. Regrettable though it

may be, one very effective gimmick

in an almost completely male society

is a pretty girl ; this 'has been proved

to work over and over again.

If Mr. Baramki would like to con­

tact me I would be pleased to hear

his suggestions for improved publicity.

It is perhaps best to conclude by

asking which College poster has had

most effect on Mr. Baramki. Could I

suggest that this is a measure of i s

effectiveness as publicity, defined—Hot

by me—as the art of keeping the

name of the product in the eye of

the public as much as possible.

Could it be the FELIX poster in

question, my only complaint about it

is the poor standard of reproduction.

An appeal for

the fete SIR,

We wish to draw to the attention of

the Union the Carnival Fete and Pro­

cession (?) which are being held on

i 4 May. 120 letters concerning this,

and requesting a quick reply, have

been sent to societies, halls and de­

partment reps., to ascertain who will

be providing stalls and floats. At the

lime of writing, almost two weeks

since the Utters were sent out, we

have received only nine replies; if

those in positions of responsibility

cannot be relied on to reply to a re­

quest such as this, we suggest that

they should not have taken on their

respective jobs.

Will the people who have not yet

replied please do so with the utmost

haste so that we can get on with our

job of organising the /'etc.

P R A G U E , Czechoslovakia's capital, is one of the world's loveliest

and least spoilt cities. In the old town, there are gems of gothic,

renaissance and baroque architecture. It is also gay with open air

restaurants, beer and wine cellars, theatres, cabaret and niht clubs.

Alchemist marred A H O U S E that was over half

empty helped to mar what might

have been a good performance of The Alchemist, last Wednesday.

This Jacobean Comedy by Ben Jonson was supposed to be funny and an indulgent audience would

have helped enormously. Alas, this was not to be. There were

pieces of bawdy humour but these

were scarce.

Liverpool is one of the oldest provincial

Universities and is situated in an area famous for it's beat music. It has been called the " modern culture " centre of England. The University has all faculties and is not just

confined to science and technology as we are at Imperial College.

The University is being expanded to cater

for about �����0 students although there are only about half that number at present.

About one third of these students are in the Halls of Residence which are situated 2\

miles from the University in a University

Village which is being expanded as new Halls are built.

Soccer Reserves Cup by John Todd

SECONDS SLIP BACK U C II 2—I.C. II 0

In a hard fought game at Motspur Park, both defences played

very weD and it was not until the last minute of the first half that

either team had a clear cut shot a', goal. The I.C. forwards never

managed to penetrate the U.C. defence or to even pin them down

in their own half for any length of time. But U . C . were having a

similar problem in beating an L C . defence in which Burnett was

particularly prominent during the early part of the game.

D a v i e s caused U . C . s o m e t r o u b l e

Touchstone Weekend on 'Race*

Education Needed b y M a r t i n B e l l .

M R . A . H . CHRISTIE, M.A. , Hon. Sec. of the Royal Anthro­

pological Institute, was the speaker at the last Touchstone weekend

on " R a c e . " No ardent "pure racists!1" were present, and so the

weekend was mainly spent discussing what forms race prejudice took

and how it could be prevented.

He dealt first with the myth of race from biological facts ; there

is no biological validity for doubting that man is all of one single

species, Homo sapiens. The human race has not had time to develop

significant mutations, but isolated groups had. adapted themselves to

circumstances and had responded to ecological pressures. For

instance, the genes of Jewish groups throughout the world were found

to have no common factors and the genes approximated to the

groups in which the Jews were situated, in spite of their endogamous,

isolated situation. Thus the notion of pure " race " was nonsense.

There was a tendency, he said, in

al l races to regard a fair skin as so­

cially desirable. It indicated wealth

and leisure, and he referred to the

upper class T h a i girls who could not

get married because of their dark

skins. There were psychological rea­

sons also, such as fear of the dark

and the fundamental mystery of

L i g h t / D a r k , G o o d / E v i l . T h e world

is for many divided into " them " and

" u s " under the slogan " a b r o a d is

bloody, " but though differences

might be social, religious, historical,

l iqual , technological, and coloured,

there was no such thing as fundamen­

t a l inferior or superior races.

"DEMOCRACY i n I n d i a i s o:nly an experiment", s a i d Mr Hhanna, F o r e i g n Correspondent of THE TIMES OF INDIA at a j o i n t meeting of the Indian and Communist S o c i e t i e s . As such, i t

i s not an e s s e n t i a l p a r t of t h e I n d i a n n a t i o n , but may be d i s c a r d e d i f i t i s seen to have f a i l e d ' .

At present, democracy canno t be s a i d to have e i t h e r completely f a i l e d or completely succeeded. I t has given I n d i a d i g n i t y and a sense of u n i t y , born w i t h her independence (an achievement c o n s p i c u o u s l y L a c k i n g i n the cases of Egypt o r the USSR, f o r i n s t a n c e ) , & the economic r e c o r d i s i m p r e s s i v e .

Howevenji the gap betw.een the r i c h and the poor has not yet been closed, there has been no s i g n i f i c a n t r i s e i ^ n l i v i n g standards, and the government has completely f a i l e d to c o n t r o l the p o p u l a t i o n e ^ i o s i o n . At the moment a l l the p o l i t i c a l t a l e n t , much of i t mediocre, l i e s i n the Congress l a r t y .

The Communists ar^e d i s u n i t e d and of a very low c a l i b r e , and m i l i t a r y r u l e vrould be unrepresentative of a j j j . the peoples, and thus democracy has the best chance of succeeding, so long as i t can f i r ^ d strong l e a d e r s .

The ensuing d i s . s c u s s i o n concerned i t s e l f mainly w i t h comparing the s i t u a t i o n i n China (which was where tbie Communist S o c i e t y came i n t o i t s own) and I n d i a . The Communists were

at a great disadvantage as t h e y knew very l i t t l e of the problems of I n d i a , and were un­c e r t a i n as to how to s o l v e them. Much i n t e r e s t i n g d i s c u s s i o n took place, however, and proved most i n f o r m a t i v e . / M a r t i n B e l l
