ADracula and Casanova on STOIC

N E X T T U E S D A Y , STOIC are to screen the latest in the "F i lm Talk" series with Christopher Lee as their guest. Mr Lee was inter­viewed last year at Hammer House while he was making his latest film " T o the Devil . . . A Daughter". (For a review of this film which is currently on release, see page six.) Cl ips from this film are included in the programme together with excerpts from "The Man with the Golden . G u n " , "The Three Musketeers" and "Scars of Dracula".

Star of Casanova '73, Lesl ie Phi l ips, is also to appear on STOIC after being found acting outside the Albert Hall last Monday. Mr Phil ips was working on his latest film, "Not Now Comrade".

STOIC hounds are quickly on the scene to nab him for a short impromptu interview. The interview will be shown during the last "lunchbreak" of tenn on 18th March.

IC Radio gets

licence A F T E R WAITING for nearly two years, Imperial College Radio has finally been granted a test licence to begin operating. The licence will cost £300 and will be renewable thereafter on a yearly basis at the cost of £150 a year.

The licience allows IC Radio to make single tone transmissions only. A spokesman for IC Radio said that they hoped to make test transmissions by June. Their first aim would be to transmit programmes to

General Meeting held

yesterday In the Great

H a l l .

It was no walkover, however; on the first count, Mr Brayshaw had 550 first preference votes, Mr Fitzgerald 488 and Mr Miller 132. As the required quota had not been reached, Mr Miller's votes were re-allocated according to the STV system and Nick Brayshaw narrowly scraped home by about 20 votes. The total number of votes cast was 1229.

In the election for Editor of F E L I X , Clive Dewey passed the quota on the first count by 622 votes to 453 for Duncan Suss. To complete the set, Derek Everett was elected Deputy President by 844 votes to Chris Kourouniotis' 177.

Southside and Linstead. The system IC Radio propose to use was described as "technically perfectly feasible" three weeks ago by a GPO engineer.

Once the system is set up and is operational the GPO will check it to see whether it conforms to two basic requirements. These are that there is no inter­ference with existing GPO lines on campus and that transmissions cannot be heard outside the campus.

Pete Teague, Nick Bray­shaw, Tony Fitzgerald, Derek Everett and Rick Parker were elected as delegates to the NUS Easter conference, with Hugh Barrett, Adrain Sudworth and Nigel Miller elected as observers.

Having dealt with the main elections, the meeting proceeded with the agenda, passing a constitutional change concerning the election of S C A B chairman. The motions to be put to NUS conference were prior­itized, the first four being, in order of precedence, Welfare, NUS constitution, Education and Hall Fees.

A motion on welfare was passed, and was followed by a motion on Hall Fees . The meeting felt that it would be unwise to subsidise Hall rents in the long term, as this would penalise those students living outside college accommodation.

Motions on direct elections, grants and education cuts were passed and the meeting closed with the election of several Union officers. Hugh Barrett was elected External Affairs Officer and a fresh-faced newcomer P Ekpenyong was elected Academic Affairs Officer.

Remember, remember, the 27th February

- N U S national demo

I M P E R I A L C O L L E G E c l o s e d down at 12.30pm las t F r i d a y . Ir reopened at 1.30pm, but wi th about 60 fewer s tudents ; for F r i d a y 27th February was the day o f the nat ional demonstra­t ion on grants and educat ion cu t s . A somewhat d iminut ive horde gathered ou ts ide the Un ion bu i l d ing and left at 1.15, in a s p e c i a l l y h i red c o a c h .

A l though most of IC ignored the o c c a s s i o n ("I cou ldn ' t s t r i ke , I hdd to do some w o r k " ) , about 25,000 s tudents from a l l over E n g l a n d gathered near Water loo S ta t ion , wa tched c l o s e l y by t e l e v i s i o n cameras, the Na t iona l P r e s s and the D a i l y T e l e g r a p h .

There were even severa l thousand marchers from the Metropol i tan P o l i c e , who i n s i s t e d on wa l k i ng on the outs ide of the p r o c e s s i o n , presumably in order to appear on t e l e v i s i o n .

The demonstrat ion marched from Waterloo Br idge to Hyde Parte v i a Ox fo rd Street . T h e co lumn , when i t f i na l l y set off, s t retched for m i l e s . When the leaders reached Ox fo rd C i r c u s , the ta i l -end was j us t c r o s s i n g Water loo B r i d g e .

Not everyone supported u s , however : an in t rep id reporter from the Daily Telegraph, the fo l l ow ing day wrote , "The

column of casually - dressed

marchers, brandishing red

banners ... infuriated passers-

by who souted back their own

slogans to the marchers". T h e " i n f u r i a t e d p a s s e r s - b y " , w a s an o l d man wi th cu r i ous l y wav ing arms who d e c i d e d , aga ins t h i s w i f e ' s a d v i c e , to ho ld h i s own , i n d i v i d u a l , counter -demonst ra t ion. He shouted, acco rd ing to the

Daily Telegraph, "Go back

to Siberia" and "Get on with

your work". What k i n d of work he d i d , that enab led him to stand on street co rne rs , at 3.00pm on a F r i d a y af ternoon, shout ing at s tudents , gave r i s e to much s p e c u l a t i o n . It was rumoured that he was a f ree lance for the Daily

Telegraph.

When the marchers f i na l l y reached Hyde P a r k , most of IC made a dramat ic sw ing to the r ight and went home, l e a v i n g a coup le o f F E L I X staf f and a bemused Hon Sec (John Downs) to absorb the s p e e c h e s .

C a s u a l l y - d r e s s e d C h a r l e s Clar ice made an i m p a s s i o n e d , i f not en t i re l y i n t e l l i g i b l e speech ; "This is the largest

ever demonstration.,.er ...

since last year". He s a i d that Mr Hea ley was us ing "economic

steamroller to crush the life

and humanity out of society"

and Mr C l a r k e , no feather­we igh t h imse l f , shou ld know. Max Mor r i s , p res iden t o f the Na t i ona l U n i o n o f T e a c h e r s sa id that i t was the f i rs t N U S demonstrat ion to have the o f f i c i a l b a c k i n g o f the N U T .

F i n a l l y , a l though it may come as a shock to those I C students who p a r t i c i p a t e d , ( seve ra l o f whom wore s u i t s ) , "moderate students were

conspicuous by their abscenc^

and Lionel Zetter of the

Sussex University Conservative

Association, condemned the

march as just another holiday

event" — D a i l y T e l e g r a p h .

Mr Ze t te r w i l l surely donate any i nc rease in h i s grant equa l l y between C o n s e r v a t i v e Cen t r a l O f f i c e and the D a i l y Te leg raph f i gh t ing fund.

Many Touchs tone w i l l be sad to see him . g o .

From these b a s i c i deas , he went on to ta lk about the s o c i a l foc i of these- cu l t u res , their e f fec ts on the people wi th in these cu l t u res , and to ask the ques t i on : "What is the ro le of un ive rs i t y w i th in s o c i e t y " .

Question of apathy Sir , — I w ish to comment on the sub jec t of apathy and par t i c ipa t ion at th is c o l l e g e . At IC we have a w ide spectrum of people from di f ferent cu l t u res , backgrounds and with di f ferent i n te res ts . A large proport ion of these people par t i c ipa te in va r ious c l u b s and s o c i e t i e s — to ver i fy th is you on ly have to go round and ask people w h i c h , if any, of the organ­i sa t i ons they par t i c ipa te i n .

However , for each i nd i v i dua l o rgan i sa t i on , there are on ly re la t i ve l y few ac t i ve members compared wi th the total popu la t ion of the C o l l e g e . T h i s a p p l i e s to major o rgan i sa t i ons such as ICU and the C C U ' s as we l l as to the ind i v idua l c l ubs and s o c i e t i e s wh ich form the A C C , R C C and S C C . T h i s is because, to reap the benef i ts of a c t i v e involvement in any one c lub , one must devote su f f i c ien t time to it w h i c h , to a very large degree, must resul t in e x c l u s i o n of par t i c ipa t ion in other organ­i s a t i o n s .

H e n c e , it i s only to be expec ted that a minor i ty of s tudents a c t i v e l y support ICU and the C C U ' s , because desp i te hav ing a more general re levance and appeal to CoMege members compared to s p e c i f i c appeal of the other o rgan i sa t i ons , these Un ions too are l im i ted . Fo r examp le , if a union o rgan ises a concer t or a bar night , on ly those people in terested in that par t i cu la r form of en ter ta in -

Elections Si r , — We wou ld l i k e to e x p r e s s our extreme d i s g u s t and contempt for the immature e l ec t i on s t y l e of Mr E v e r e t t ' s campa ign .

Surely a cand ida te shou ld concent ra te on h i s own proposed p o l i c i e s and the reasons why he c ons i de r s h imse l f su i tab le for the re levant post , ins tead of i ndu lg ing , what amounts to, " m u d sI i n g i n g ' ' .

Rather than fur ther ing h i s c a u s e through h is campa ign , he has merely ra i sed doubts , in our m inds , as to h i s s u i t a b i l i t y for the demanding post of Deputy P r e s i d e n t .

ment w i l l a t tend, that i s , people who l i ke the par t i cu la r type of mus ic p layed or who l i ke d r ink ing a lot.

T h i s c a u s e s the unions to be dominated by a cer ta in type of person and leads to the formation of c l i q u e s . T h u s , through involvement in other c l u b s resu l t ing in a lack of t ime, the lack in appeal of much of what the Un ion does and the formation of union c l i q u e s , it i s not su rp r i s i ng that the " a v e r a g e " IC student becomes apathet ic towards h i s un ion .

The s i tua t ion i s worse at IC than at other u n i v e r s i t i e s due to the large proport ion of pos tgraduates , and o v e r s e a s s tudents whose presence c rea tes a larger spectrum of needs to be covered — thus students form c l i q u e s in their departments and amongst their own count rymen. How­ever , th is s ta te of a f fa i rs cannot be blamed on the un ions — it would be imposs ib l e for them to arrange even ts wh ich would appeal to everyone .

I would l i ke to f i n i s h on a note aimed at those a c t i v i s t s who often point an a c c u s i n g f inger at the non-par t i c ipa t ing major i ty . How many of them par t i c ipa te in other s o c i e t i e s to the degree of at tempt ing to reduce the s t rang leho ld of c l i q u e s a n d p r o v i d i n g i n c e n t i v e s for them to get involved* in union a c t i v i t i e s ?

T O U C H S T O N E

T h i s role was he ld to that of prov id ing a c f i t i c a T . e l i t e whose c r i t i c i s m s , of the sys tem and soc ie t y as a whole wou ld be cons t ruc t i ve rather than des t ruc t i ve .

In a free ranging deba te , dur ing the even ing w i th in sub-groups and dur ing the fo l l ow ing afternoon as a who le group, the c o n c l u s i o n was reached that IC was nei ther of the two cu l tu res ment ioned. The type of cu l tu re it shou ld have was even tua l l y not dec ided upon, but va r ious r i t ua ls and such l i ke were p roposed. The main idea here being to e v o l v e a to ta l ly new cu l ture for the C o l l e g e .

C O M M U N I S T S are often a c c u s e d of be ing undemo­c r a t i c , of t ry ing to overthrow governments e lec ted by the peop le {perhaps v io len t l y ) — but, i s th is true?

In Western European coun t r i es Communis t par t ies take part in Par l iamenta ry e l e c t i o n s and cons ide rab le popular support is exp ressed in some coun t r ies (F rance and H a l y are examp les ) . In none of these coun t r ies do the Communis t par t ies advoca te the s e i z u r e of power (by armed means or o therwise) by smal l " s u b v e r s i v e " groups op peop le . However , they a l s o be l i eve that the present sys tem of Par l iamentary democracy is not the u l t imate exp ress i o n of p e o p l e ' s in te res ts .

We enjoy democrat ic r ights for the mass of peop le at present — but only because of cont inued s t rugg le — r ights such as h o u s i n g , e d g c a t i o n , hea l t h , p i c ke t i ng , r a c i a l and sexua l equa l i t y , the right to work e t c . T h e s e are by no means assu red and God g i ven — look at the current c u t s by Mr H e a l e y . T h e s e r ights must be defended and ex tended , u l t imate ly into a reas where they do not e x i s t at present , for examp le , at the p l a c e of work where workers are at the mercy of non-e lec ted factory owners , and thus, f i na l l y to S o c i a l i s m .

It i s no acc i den t that in coun t r ies where there i s a minimum of democracy , such as S p a i n , or Por tuga l before A p r i l 1974, Commun is t s are in the fore front to end these reg imes , for free trade union o rgan isa t i on and democra t i c e l e c t i o n s .

A h , you s a y , what about the Sov ie t U n i o n , what does democracy have to do wi th the bureaucra t ic and admin is t ­ra t ive supp ress ion of d i s s e n t i n g v i e w s ? It i s e s s e n t i a l to point out that these an t i -s o c i a l i s t ac t s are in no way i n t r i ns i c to the i d e a l s of S o c i a l i s m . S t a l i n i s m i s not h i s t o r i c a l l y i n e v i t a b l e , e s p e c i a l l y in B r i t a i n where we have such st rong demo­c ra t i c t r ad i t i ons . It • i s , rather, s p e c i f i c to a country wh i ch attempted to bu i ld a new s o c i e t y in very d i f f i cu l t

h i s t o r i ca l cond i t i ons and w h i c h , s i n c e it was the f i rs t , and in that sense an exper iment , made many m i s t a k e s .

T h i s in no way e x c l u d e s the p o s s i b i l i t y of a peacefu l democra t i c t rans i t ion to S o c i a l i s m in B r i t a i n — the only l as t i ng democracy .

F O R T H E second week running there was a ful l team of l ad ies — th is t ime f i rmly under the c o n t r o l ? ) of umpire B a l d e r s o n . The late a r r i va l of the oppos i t i on enab led some pre-match tac t i ca l d i s c u s s i o n s to take p l a c e . ' B e a v e r w o o d ' and ' R o l l e r b a l l ' were but two of the dev ious passwords thought up to baf f le the o p p o s i t i o n .

When p lay star ted IC immediate ly began ' to p r e s s u r i z e the B a r t ' s goal and it wasn ' t long before they were 1—0 up,

thanks to super-s tar -Sarah t ry ing hard for a jug in her last league appearance (Aaah l ) . But Bar ts were not so e a s i l y ' conned ' and desp i te the va l i an t ef forts of ' sock it to 'em sproa tesy ' in the g o a l , they soon e q u a l i s e d . However they were somewhat unprepared for our next move (wh ich , su rp r i s ing l y enough, hadn' t been d i s c u s s e d before the game). Ms Horn suddenly fe l t the need to get undressed on the p i t c h , and amid s tar t led c r i e s of "I dn ' t want it, my ruddy s k i r t ' s coming o f f " , the oppos i t i on cou ld only s tand and stare wh i l e Sarah ran regard less up the f i e ld and s lammed the ba l l into the back of the net. IC were now beg inn ing to take command and Janet took advantage of th i s to put us 3—1 up at hal f t ime.

Be ing overcome by ac tua l l y be ing in the lead cou ld perhaps exp la in why IC began to ' f ade ' in the second ha l f . B a r t ' s scored a second goal from a corner and equa l i sed shor t ly a f terwards. We fought on — Sarah tr ied a l l ways (not that she cou ld think of many more!) for her jug, but it was not to be and we had to be s a t i s f i e d wi th a draw. But th i s must be progress ; from l oos ing 9—0 in our f i rs t two matches we have de f in i t e l y improved throughout the s e a s o n .

A few days after reach ing the f ina l P a u l R o b i n s (the IC c a p ­tain) was informed by U L U that London H o s p i t a l fe l t t h e m ­s e l v e s to be unab le to p lay on the day des igna ted because a long—standing f ix ture con fl i c ted. Tha t , by de fau l t , gave IC the cup . Bu t , in the c i r c u m s t a n c e s there w a s no p leasure in ob ta in ing it. T h i s unsa t i s fac to ry s i tua t ion remained for a few d a y s unt i l there w a s a phone c a l l from London H o s p i t a l to say that, af ter a l l , they cou ld p lay on that date if IC wou ld agree. IC, s t i 11 k e y e d up emot iona l l y for t h e f i n a l , found no d i f f i cu l t y in agree ing .

IC made the journey to Motspur Pa rk accompan ied by about 50 soppor ters intent upon w inn ing the cup for the 12th t ime s i n c e 1951 . Shor t ly before the kick—off a touch of co lour was added to the s c e n e by the ar r iva l of further support c o m ­p le te w i t hJez . A q u i c k ' A V i v o ' led by P e t e Teague conf i rmed the super io r i t y o f the IC suppor t .

The game opened wi th I C p lay ing into the w i n d . They star ted w e l l by w inn ing the f i rs t scrum aga ins t the head . I C ' s d o m i n a n c e i n the pack con t inued throughout. In the open ing minutes • London H o s p i t a l p ressed IC back and got thei r reward when, after n ine minu tes , thei r f u l l - back k i c k e d the f i rs t of h i s four p e n a l t i e s . Twen ty - f i ve minutes

into the f i rs t hal f saw London H o s p i t a l 9:0 in front, hav ing added a penal ty and a drop goal to the i r p rev ious s c o r e J C c a m e back into the game and dominated the remainder of the ha l f . Dur ing th is per iod IC m i s s e d three c ruc i a l pena l t i es and halt t ime arr ived wi th IC 9:0 down, a l l of their a t tacks hav ing been fo i led by the accura te K i c k i n g of the London H o s p i t a l scrum hal f and fu l l back .

IC put the pressure on from the s ta r i of the s e c o n d half and w i th in three minutes were awarded a penal ty wh ich Andy Devaney conve r ted . The pressure on London H o s p i t a l con t i nued . IC were now p lay ing the best rugby of the game. The pack c o n ­s i s ten t l y won the ba l i in the loose and Terry Fea rn p a s s e d the ba l l f reely to the b a c k s . At t imes IC were c l o s e to s c o r i n g : no-one came c l o s e r than P h i l T u r l e y . Howeve r , no move was car r ied to f ru i t ion . Af ter twenty- two minutes London H o s p i t a l broke out . I C ' s cover ing back was good but a c rooked feed into the resu l t i ng scrum conceded a pena l t y . That gave London H o s p i t a l a lead of 12 :3 . That lead was i nc reased to 15:3 f i v e minutes later . IC came back wi th a vengence and in the

f o l l ow ing f i ve minutes both Steve Booth and Ke i t h L i p s c o m b e were un lucky not to s c o r e . The p ressure d id resu l t in a try and that was sco red by Adra in W i l l i a m s f o l l ow in g a penal ty on the right w ing . It was a just reward as Adra in had c a u s e d a l l sor ts of problems for London H o s p i t a l dur ing the-game. An e x c i t i n g ten minutes fo l l owed but there was no further sco r i ng desp i te the va l i an t ef for ts of John Smith and P a u l R o b i n s . It was a l l to la te .

It cou ld be^ argued that it was rea l ly a moral v i c to ry for IC as they sco red the on ly fry of the game, but the cup went to London H o s p i t a l because of their c o n s i s t e n t

The match aga ins t Hackney was a double" banker from wh ich i C needed to take f i ve out of the p o s s i b l e s i x po in ts to be assured of the champ ionsh ip , (each team c o n s i s t s of three p layers and each match c o n s i s t s of three frames e a c h , a point be ing awarded to the winner of each game.)

O N S A T U R D A Y 21st of February Imperial C o l l e g e L a c r o s s e C l u b set off to Epp ing Fo res t . B e i n g ab le to use the A C C van , ( thanks to M ike Burke for d r i v i n g ! it made th is ep i c journey much e a s i e r than in prev ious y e a r s . And with the C a p t a i n ' s impeccab le nav igat ion)?) we on ly got lost o n c e .

So we ar r i ved , on t ime, but with on ly eight p l a y e r s . S t i l l we were look ing forward to a fa i r ly en joyab le game, as Buckhurs t H i l l are one of the f r i end l ies t c l u b s in the south of E n g l a n d ; and we got o n e .

The f i rs t quarter w a s a t yp i ca l s tar t , in wh i ch ne i ther s i de dominated the other and the at tack and defence found out who were the o p p o s i t i o n ' s danger men. At the end of the f i r s t quarter IC led by 3—2. T h i s ac tua l l y he lped boost I C ' s con f i dence , as we were ex pec t i ng to be com prehen s i ve I y hammered, B u c k s hav ing a man advantage.

However the second quarter was a bi t of a b low. A s usua l we got a bit lax in our mark ing and f ight ing for the b a l l . Greasy Pe te in goal d id a good job and kept the score down to 6—4 for B u c k s at hal f t ime.

In the third quarter the at tack and in par t i cu la r R i cha rd Fo rs te r and Derek Senner d id a lot of f ine work, and both managed to get on the sco re sheet . Meanwh i le the de fence d id a s o l i d job and d idn ' t g i ve away a s i n g l e g o a l . A f te r the third quarter IC led by 7 - 6 . It was good to s e e Rob Morr ison in de fence do so w e l l in h i s f i rs t game.

A f te r th is amaz ing come back (a rare occurrence) Ef rem Z i m b a l i s t Jun io r Mark II put the match out of B u c k -hurst H i l l s reach by sco r ing four goa ls in as many m inu tes . Then it was just a c a s e of the de fence t ry ing to stop B u c k s from sco r i ng , wh i l e the a t tack got back every goal IC c o n c e d e d . In the las t quarter Greasy P e t e in goal got a bru ise on h i s arm, wh ich he i n s i s t e d I mention in the report. Some people are proud about the s i l l i e s t th ings . One th ing that does deserve a ment ion i s the las t goa l of the match. T h i s was one of the best moves of the game In wh ich J Edgar Hoover Mark II ga ined p o s s e s s i o n , ran towards goal and p a s s e d ! ' ) to Derek Senner who had run round the back of the de fence and s lo t ted the ba l l home. F i n a l score 1 4 - 1 0 In I C ' s favour. D idn ' t w e do w e l l ?
