Dear Mr Marshall
T h e remarks w h i c h you made
in your F E L I X E d i t o r i a l last
week about H R H Princess A n n e
are utterly despicable. E v e n i f
you hold these views in private it
is completely d is loyal to publ ish
them. A s for c r i t i c i s ing Princess
A n n e for her hobby (at w h i c h she
was very good) it smacks of the
lower midd le class intolerance
that we have come to expect from
F E L I X this year. Princess A n n e
does a good deal of char i ty work
(e.g. N a t i o n a l Society for the
Prevent ion of C r u e l t y to C h i l
d r e n ) for w h i c h she rece ives
inadequate credit f rom gutter
press e d i t o r s l i k e y o u r s e l f . In
closing I w o u l d suggest that you

W i t h reference to your c o m

W e feel m u c h ashamed to be
m e m b e r s o f a C o l l e g e whose
" n e w s p a p e r " p u b l i c i s e s such
malic ious insults as contained in
your last ed i tor ia l . F r o m your
description H R H Princess A n n e
seems to be a m u c h more c h a r i
table person than yourself.
Whatever you may think of
our new C h a n c e l l o r it was very
w r o n g of y o u to m a l i g n one
m e m b e r of our R o y a l F a m i l y as
this is also a direct insult upon

have reason to have m u c h respect

W e f ind it hard to corrtprehend
t h a t y o u r e d i t o r i a l is a t r u e
thermometer of the feelings of the
I C U Exec a n d even less of the
vast major i ty of students at I C .
W e th ink that the Exec would
be wel l advised to remove you as
editor of F E L I X before you cause
any more m u d to be splattered
over us a l l .

j o u r n a l i s m e v e n f u r t h e r w i t h
your pathetic and puerile attack
on Princess A n n e in your editor ial
last week.
W h a t e v e r your views of our
new C h a n c e l l o r (my own are
h a r d l y c o m p l i m e n t a r y ) , there
can be no defence against your
using F E L I X to a i r such vehement
a b u s e a g a i n s t a n y i n d i v i d u a l
wi thout the slightest attempt at
p r o v i d i n g j u s t i f i c a t i o n . Y o u r
cheap attack on such an easy
t a r g e t was n e i t h e r c l e v e r n or
amusing , and I must presume
that you d i d not consider the
h a r m that w o u l d be done if a
representative of the mass media ,
searching for student reaction to
the choice of C h a n c e l l o r , were to
seize upon your remarks as being
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e o f the s t u d e n t
body at I C . T h e pub l i c wou ld
s u r e l y c o n c l u d e t h a t it is us,
rather than Princess A n n e , who
possess the ' intellect of a cab
b a g e ' . O r p e r h a p s y o u were
encouraged by such thoughts,
since you appear to enjoy cheap
publ i c i ty .
If you manage to complete
your term as F E L I X Ed i t o r , I
hope you w i l l continue to express
your opinions, but please refrain
from using unjustified a n d highly
personal abuse.
Yours faithfully

a little t repidat ion that the dates

such a prestigious festival has

it w o u l d be t r a g i c i f it were

Is there some mistake? W e w o u l d

Ed's Comment: D r a m s o c have
assured me the situation is totally
under control .
Sir
I write in response to D V
Molesworth ' s foolish display of
i g n o r a n c e i n h i s l e t t e r o f
F e b r u a r y 6 for F E L I X .
L e t m e q u o t e t w o o f h i s
sentences: " I a m not so naive that
I believe there is no injustice in
the R e p u b l i c " . T o b l i n d D V
M o l e s w o r t h , the obvious injus
tice is not so important to be
condemned. " . . . these firms
especially some of them . . .are
p r o b a b l y l e a d i n g the w a y to
n a r r o w i n g t h e gaps b e t w e e n
'blacks ' a n d 'whites' standard of
l i v i n g " . If D V M o l e s w o r t h is
a w a r e o f the d i f f e r e n t l i v i n g
standards based on colour, then
he ought to be aware of the
injustice in the system he admires
so m u c h .
Perhaps, we w i l l forgive D V
M o l e s w o r t h for be ing so naive to
realise that being white i n South
A f r i c a , he was i n such a p r i v i -
laged posit ion — high wages,
lots of incentives, etc. — as to pay
no a t t e n t i o n to the i n j u s t i c e
m e t e d o n o t h e r s . H e is n o w
being used (from the tone of his
last paragraph) to augment the
white popu lat i on and match the
p o p u l a t i o n i m b a l a n c e i f no t
white majority . W h a t he should
bear in m i n d is: South A f r i c a can
never be another A u s t r a l i a or
N o r t h A m e r i c a .
Has D V M o l e s w o r th been a
black South A f r i c a n a n d seen his
wife for only two days in a month
a n d h a d seen his l i t t l e s ister
gunned down over a protest in
the Soweito-c lash, he won ' t believe
that as justice.
M a y b e D V M o l e s w o r t h w i l l
be happy to hear of Botha's latest
promised to improve the position
of B l a c k s b y a l l o w i n g a few
Blacks ' black-representatives in
P a r l i a m e n t . I r e p h r a s e h i s
s t a t e m e n t as t h e c r e a t i n g o f
M u z o r e w a ' s (Black puppets) to
undermine the l iberat ion move
ments. I assure h i m a n d Botha
that the l iberat ion war continues
unabated and that p a y i n g a l ip
service to democracy does not
weaken the efforts. If he wants to
be a disciple a n d a propagandist
of an A p a r t h e i d regime then he
s h o u l d be p r e p a r e d to c l a i m
r e s p o n s i b i l i t y f o r t h e v e r y
difficult times yet to come.
Let us be frank, D V Mo les
worth is not becoming a n t i - A n t i -
A p a t t h e i d as he claims. H e is for
the A p a r t h e i d regime. T o be an
a n t i - A n t i - A p a r t h e i d is to be pro-
A p a r t h e i d , there is no midd le
t e r m . H e t r i e s to h i d e h i s
boldlessness by a long phraseo
logy.
R e a d i n g his letter, I can now
understand how the holocaust of
the Jews, the genocide of A m e r
i n d i a n s , the s l a v e r y a n d the
d o m i n a t e d e c o n o m y o f t h e
blacks, etc., have been possible.
Yours truly

such a 'song and dance " about it
he wou ld not get a refund.

he would have to take people's

UC Sit-in on
Overseas Fees S T U D E N T S at Univers i ty Col lege L o n d o n started a n occupat ion of
their College's administrat ive block, in a n attempt to persuade their
college not to increase fees to overseas students.
A n emergency U G M mot ion three weeks ago noted inter a l i a
" d i s c r i m i n a t i o n reached intolerable proportions w i t h the introduct ion
of so-called ' fu l l cost' fees for overseas students of ,£2,000 for Arts
courses, and £3,000 for Science courses . . . served only to further
enhance the elitist and racist nature of higher educat ion in B r i t a i n . T h e
Government had to give colleges a special exemption from the Race
Relat ions A c t 1977 before they could implement these increases". T h e
mot ion went on to instruct the Execut ive to ob ta in a n assurance from
College not to increase fees next year. T h e college d i d not give such a
guarantee, but d i d agree not to impose a previously decided extra 10%.
A n emergency U G M mot ion a week later noted, inter a l ia " t h e ful l
c os t fees a r e d r i v i n g o v e r s e a s a w a y . T h e r e is n o f i n a n c i a l
argument in favour of ful l cost fees, and college cannot therefore c l a i m
that it is under financial ob l igat ion to charge these fees". A mot ion on
them cal led for " A total boycott of lectures on F e b r u r y 24, pickets of a l l
en t rances /main departments" . T h i s was declared " t h e beginning and
not the e n d " .
A n d emergency U G M mot ion a week later resolved, inter a l ia " t o go
into immediate occupation of college u n t i l college take a stand against
full-cost fees. T o support the N U S N a t i o n a l L o b b y of Par l iament on
M a r c h 1 1 " . In a statement issued by the U n i o n , students were urged to
support the boycott. After o u t l i n i n g w h y it was thought the increase in
fees was d iscr iminatory and incorrect is said " o n l y il we say boldly and
clearly that these fes are wrong, wrong , wrong , w i l l there be any
change. A n occupat ion is the only way open to us now to make that
message clear. O t h e r colleges w i l l follow if we take a stand. Support the
o c c u p a t i o n " .
Last Tuesday, students occuppied the admin is t ra t i on section at I C
and this was con inu ing on Wednesday. U C students visited I C on
Wednesday afternoon to ask for support for their campa ign , the a i m
being act ion a l l over L o n d o n against the " d i s c r i m i n a t o r y lee increase
a n d the general attack on educa t i on " .
A l l unions are being asked to " t a k e a c t i o n " if college authorities
intend to implement the fee increase, organise a one day lecture
boycott, and , as a last resort, ocupy Col lege adminis trat ion .
I C U staged a week-long sit - in in the Sherfield Senior D i n i n g R o o m

performances in the J C R . This included G r e e k , Lat in Amer i can and
classical Indian dances, a karate demonstration by a group including
eight black belts. Bhangra dances were performed by a student group
who have only been practicing for a few months.

Voyager scientist at IC D R G A R Y H U N T , the only Br i t i sh scientist current ly involved in the
V o y a g e r space project, gave a lecture last week at I C on his work i n
this field.
T h e purpose of the V o y a g e r space craft is to investigate and compare
the two giants of the solar system, J u p i t e r and Saturn , a n d their
satellites, in part i cu lar T i t a n . D r H u n t out l ined the path of the
V o y a g e r II spacecraft by the use of some truly remarkable slides taken
by the V o y a g e r crafts. T h e data obtained by the spacecraft has given a
weal th of in format ion on the geophysical nature of J u p i t e r a n d Saturn .
D r H u n t was par t i cu lar ly excited by data obtained from T i t a n , a
satalite of Saturn . V o y a g e r II has shown that T i t a n has a planetary
a tmosphere s i m i l a r to that o f p r i m e v i l a r t h , a n d perhaps more
important , simple hydrocarbons have been detected ind i ca t ing the
possibility of life.
D r H u n t said that space had to be developed a n d that the returns
were on ly just beg inn ing to tr ickle i n . Advances have been made in
instrumentat ion a l l o w i n g satellites to be used more efficiently i n
meterology. D r H u n t predicted that very soon, by means of the space
shuttle, zero gravity space laboratories could be used to b u i l d things
such as perfect crystals w h i c h wou ld be useful i n microelectronics. D r
H u n t then added that he w o u l d be prepared to justify space on purely
academic grounds. " W e must go out there a n d explore. W e are the
Columbuses a n d Mage l lans of today a n d we must m a i n t a i n our
pioneering s p i r i t " .
W h e n questioned on what wou ld happen next D r H u n t said that
V o y a g e r w o u l d a r r i v e at N e p t u n e i n 1989 but that a l l future
programmes, such as the G a l l i l e o D a p i t e r probe, w o u l d have to be
reviewed in the l ight of the recent Reagan spending cuts.

write plays The Edinburgh Festival Fringe is a showcase for original productions, and this year IC Dramsoc is to be on display. If you wish us to consider one of your works then contact us on internal 2854 or in the storeroom (Union East Staircase) by March 11. The plays must be for a small cast (up to eight) preferably in one scene with a minimum of props (we have to get it Edinburgh)! It would help if costumes are cheap (e.g. modem dress).
The meeting where the plays will be chosen will be in the Lower Refectory on Tuesday, March 17. Good Luck.

UROP
summer jobs The Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme is beginning to attract sponsorship from outside organisations and, firms. This will take the form of contributing towards the cost of a student working on his UROP project during the summer vacation.
To qualify for support a student must have 'joined up' under the UROP scheme during the academic year and, together with his supervisor, make a proposal for a summer research programme. If it is accepted UROP will pay for a shared room in a Student House for up to ten weeks, plus pocket money at a level negotiated by the student with UROP and his supervisor.
So far we have offers of funding from four different organisations, in some cases for a particular range of projects. Offers will be posted on the UROP noticeboard on level two walkway outside the JCR. For further details contact: Professor J C Anderson, Electrical Engineering.

Consoc Opinion Poll Between January 28 and February 11, members
of Consoc have been asking residents of
Falmouth and Tizard Halls their opinion on
matters both inside and outside College. We
visited 101 people (consisting 65 first years, 28
second and third years and 8 PGs) and asked
them 17 questions divided into 5 sections.
Section 1: Sabbatical Officers' Popularity
The most remarkable feature of this section was
that nearly half those questioned were unable to
give an opinion on John Passmore's performance,
and nearly two-thirds on Rae Snee and Liz
Lindsay. Of those expressing a view, people were
more or less evenly divided on Passmore and
Snee, and strongly in favour of Lindsay.
Ignorance certainly wasn't a problem with
Steve Marshall, with only one sixth of the people
not giving an opinion. The remainder approved of
his performance by a majority of a little under 2 to
1. It is worth remembering that the poll was
predominated by first years who have no
standard of comparison by which to judge the
sabbaticals' performances. Thus further analysis
of the results (ignoring don't knows) shows first
years slightly, in favour of Passmore and seconds
and thirds slightly against. Firsts were slightly
against Snee, and second and thirds about even.
With Lindsay both groups approved of her
performance, the second and thirds to a much
stronger extent. Both sections approved of
Marshall, the first years more strongly so.
Section 2: Performance of Marshall
This section aimed to find out whether people
approved of Marshall printing the controversial
'New Years Honours Shock' in FELIX, January 9.
As expected, most people had read the article,
and of these, nearly two-thirds approved of him printing the article, humourously intended or not. Having said that, most also thought Pub Board was correct in asking Marshall apologise publicly, and privately to Mr Mooney. A substantial minority (one third) felt, however, that Pub Board was too harsh to do this.
Section 3: ReappKcants in IC Halls and
Houses
Here, we wanted to find out what students feel
about the problem of whether or not some people
should get second years in residence, and it
produced some of the clearest response of the
poll . (It is worth remembering that the
respondents were Hall residents, and the results
should be interpreted with that in mind). Over
three-quarters felt there should be reapps in
residence. Lesser, but still clear-cut majorities,
felt that students should have the main say in who
the reapps are and that the wardens should have
the power of veto on reapps.
Section 4: Student Loans
This part was designed to assess (i) the level of
ignorance about the possibility of student loans
being introduced in the next couple of years and
(ii) what people thought of the idea. We
discovered that 20 of the 101 hadn't heard of the
proposals, and a further 25 didn't know what that
could entail. The remaining 56 split roughly 4 to 1
against the idea.
Section 5: Nuclear Weapons
Here, Consoc wanted to know what students felt
about various aspects of this controversial
subject. Firstly, excluding don't knows, more
than two-thirds felt Britain's national security
would be threatened if we undertook unilateral
nuclear disarmament, and over three-quarters
thought that such a course of action wouldn't
encourage other countries to discard nuclear
weapons. Again, after getting rid of don't knows,
small majorities approved both of Cruise missiles
being here and of Britain building Trident
submarines.
The poll obviously has limitations, namely that
the respondents were mainly first years, and all
were in Hall. However, going round Halls means
you get to see a random sample of students, that
you don't do the same person twice, and that
usually you see the student individually, so that
you get a single person's view rather than a
group's view, which you might get going round
the JCR at lunchtime. say.
This article aims merely to present the results,
not to interpret them, and interested people and
groups can draw their own conclusions about
them. Thanks are due to John Webley, Ian
Stockdale, John Patterson, Mark Clegg, William
Cortazzi and Geoff Knox for giving up their spare
time to help.

Campaign Coffee W H E N Y O U B U Y a jar of instant coffee, only
about 37% of what you pay will get back to the
country from which the coffee beans came.
About 10% will go to the retailer, and the rest will
go to Nestles, General Foods, or Brooke Bond
Liebig if you buy a "brand name", or to J Lyons or
Coca Cola Ltd if you buy a supermarket "own
label".
It is in processing the coffee that the profits lie.
S o , in t h e o r y , if the p r o d u c i n g c o u n t r i e s
processed their coffee themselves, they would
make more money. In practice, however, they
r u n i n t o p r o b l e m s wi th the m u l t i n a t i o n a l
corporations (MNCs) , who may object to "unfair"
compet i t ion . W h e n B r a z i l i a n soluble coffee
companies captured 15% of the American instant
coffee market, General Foods complained to the
U S G o v e r n m e n t w i t h the resu l t that the
Government threatened to cut off aid and not to
renew the International Coffee Agreement (ICA).
These companies can have more power in
shaping some countr ies destinies than their
governments — but, as in Britain, a lot of the
leaders of these countr ies have also been
company directors, which is' why the M N C s
never come under effective fire.
Although the producing countries only receive
37% of what you pay, it makes up more than a
quarter of the export earnings of eleven out of the
fifty producing countries — all Third World. In
Burundi, it accounted for 83% of export earnings
for 1972-77.
Coffee, whilst in no way essential to the survival
of its consumers, nor the M N C s , is crucial to a
producing nation's economy. Although various
ICAs have been made to try to get a better deal
for the producing countries, this non-essentiality
to the consumers coupled with the fact that
coffee beans rot if s tock-p i led for too long,
means that the producing nations cannot withold
the coffee until prices go up, as is done with oil
(although, after oil, coffee is the most valuable
commodity traded internationally).
Also, as the 1977 crisis showed, most of us start
questioning our "need" for coffee if shop prices
rise by more than a few pence.
The M N C s can weather crises like these — for
example, in 1977, Brooke Bond Liebig's profits
only dropped from £49 to £41. Nestle is the
second largest food company in the wor ld
(Unilever is the largest) with an annual turnover in
1977 of about £550m — larger than the gross
international product (GNP) of 51 out of 53
A f r i c a n countr ies and 21 times the size of
Tanzania's total world sales.
In 1963, soon after independence, the new
Tanganyikan government decided, in conjunction
with its policy of self-reliance, to reap the profits
of processing the coffee itself. But, along with
e q u i p m e n t p r o b l e m s , they have a lso had
marketing ones. Although Nestle's were called in
to provide management and marketing skills
training, Nestles "assistance" has still not found
adequate outlets for Tanzania's admittedly more
expensive, but high quality instant coffee, nor for
helping to train Tanzanians to continue the work.
The cost of Nestles expertise to a country
which sti l l has a c lean water supply and a
dispensary as prior i t ies for every village is
immense; but Tanzania cannot afford to do
without it as it is the western nations who have
the necessary technology and access to markets.
Until recently Tanzanian instant coffee has only
been marketed in Zambia, Kenya and Tanzania
itself as "Africafe". It is now available in Britain as
"Campaign Coffee" and can be bought from
Campaign Co-op, 52 Acre Lane, London, SW11.
O n Friday, February 27, there will be a stall in the
J C R selling the coffee during lunchtime. Also on
Tuesday , M a r c h 3, at 6:30pm in the G r e e n
Committee Room, as speaker from "Campaign
C o - O p " will be giving a lecture in the exploitation
of workers in the coffee plantations and how we
should stop supporting the multinationals and
help the developing countries instead.
The cost of the coffee will be £1 for a lOOg

used to pack into Falmouth Kitchen as best they
cou ld — the weekly c r o wd of enthusiast ic
souprunners. Some were old hands. Some were
"socially aware". Others still were third years
who'd never heard of a soup run. Some just
didn't want to go to bed, while others wanted to
meet different and interesting people. And some
just came for the drive round London.
But whatever their reasons, they've stopped
coming, except for a small handful, who obviously
can't be expected to come every week.
Why don't you come?
In case you don't know, people on the Soup

armed with urns of hot soup, loaves of bread, and
packets of biscuits, which they distribute to those
who sleep rough, perhaps chatting to them for a
while as well. Normally back at College before
1:00am. It's c e r t a i n l y an eye -open ing a n d

Meet in the kitchen, Falmouth Hall, Southside
at about 10:30pm every Friday — at least give it a

Phil
Lloyd
Appeal Phil Lloyd was an undergraduate at Imperial
College from 1969 to 1972 and a postgraduate
from 1972 to 1976.
To those of us who know Phil Lloyd as a
student at Imperial College, the news of his
accident and the resulting permanent disability
came as a great shock. Phil was one of the
brightest students in his year, and during his time
as an undergraduate, followed by postgraduate
research, made many friends at Imperial College.
His individual flair was automative engineering.
This expertise is not bottled up in his mind; ideas
are waiting to find a way onto the drawing board
as P h i l is to ta l ly p a r a l y s e d f rom the neck
downwards.
We can help Phil by raising money to purchase
a mouth-stick operated X - Y plotter (£460) plus
any o ther c o m p u t e r aids for the severe ly
handicapped that are available. The experience
he gains in developing techniques in this new field
will help others similarly handicapped.
I intend to run in L o n d o n ' s first People 's
Marathon on March 29 1981 (26+ miles) from
G r e e n w i c h to The M a l l . Sponsorsh ip on a
mileage-covered basis could raise the money he
needs to get this project moving.
If you would like to help to raise money for the
Phil Lloyd Appeal I would like to hear from you.

clocks weren't striking at all. Fortunately, neither
were the authors of the S F Soc Bulletin, which
this week comes from the pen of Mark Jeffcock,
the paper of Ken Mann, the subconscious of John

For those of you who dislike in-jokes, that wasn't
one, so hard luck.
Love and kisses to A f r o - C a r i b Soc from

The committee for less sense in SF Sock bulletins

Concealed deep within the heart of this bulletin
lies a sentence composed by Steve Higgins the

Amnesty International
E A R L I E R T H I S M O N T H , the IC A m n e s t y
International G r o u p learnt that its adopted
prisoner Ngimbi Mbaki was released from jail in
Zaire. He was arrested in March 1980, probably
for attending illegal meetings or for belonging to
an illegal political party. It should be noted that
opposition political parties are banned under the
Zairean constitution. He was not charged nor
brought to t r i a l , a l though detention without
charge or trial is supposedly restricted to five
days, and Amnesty International have reason to
believe that pol i t ical pr isoners in Zaire are
routinely ill-treated and beaten.
As he was the adopted prisoner of the College's
Group, letters were written to senior government
officials in Zaire requesting further information
and asking them to look into the matter, and the
campaign, which was carried out together with an
Amnesty Group in Austria, was ended when
news was received of his release. Last year the
Group had two adopted prisoners released from
Zimbabwe and Indonesia.
Anyone who is interested in the Amnesty
International Organisation, is welcome at the
weekly meeting on Tuesday, 5:30pm in the Green

A DAY TRIP to Virginia Water this Saturday has
been organised by the Natural History Society.
Virginia Water is a flooded valley which is used as
a West London reservoir. It is on the edge of
Windsor Great Park and is a managed estate
compr i s ing of areas of dec iduous trees and
common land.
The area is of part icular interest to the
ornithologist and botanist. The valley gardens
contain foreign plants, many of which are labelled,
and there is a possibility of observing Mandarin
ducks, Hawfinches and other winter migrants.
A walk of about five miles is expected and
walking boots or strong shoes are advised. A
packed lunch may be taken or food may be
obtained at the pub. We shall meet at Virginia
Water S ta t i on at 10:00am and later at the
Wheatsheaf Hotel car park (map ref T Q 982688)
at 10:30am for the start of the walk.

hi the street the last revellers were wending their various
•jfays home. The public house was shut; its clientele well
satisfied. Zacharee Hellebore climbed over the stile on the
<ith which led dawn to the railway. The seasonal rain had
made the ground treacherous and as he passed the
Curious Stones he slipped and fell, covering himself from
head to foot in slough. His inebriation did not allow him to
register his state and his wife was thus caused to make
derogatory remarks.
The railway line; Zacharee has crossed some time before
and all that is left to show where he has passed are a few
spots of mud on the silvery rails. Here by the Une it is
quiet; a lone fox scurries down the bank to the fence and
hops over the lowest rung. Just a slight sulphurous odour
indicates that the train has been here. And now it has
gone, Aunt Deidre too, and the village is at rest.

3 Committee on Academic Organisation
This Committee was set up about this time last
year within the non-medical side of the university
to consider and recommend in broad terms what
redeployment of resources available for non
medical studies within the University should be
adopted in order to maintain academic excellence
in its teaching and research, having regard to the
need to make financial economics and to attempt
to safeguard the future of all staff employed within
the University.
The committee have recently p r odu c ed a
'Discussion document' which is fairly detailed in
its f inancial est imations and in the opt ions
ava i lab l e . It is u n f o r t u n a t e h o w e v e r that
throughout the document most references and
statistics are made about 'the non-medical of the
University (excluding Imperial College)'. This
happens because IC is funded directly from the
University Grants Committee ( U G C ) while the
other colleges which are funded by the U G C
through the Court of the University.
Thus the document would appear to have little
direct relevance to IC but on reading through it, it
becomes obvious that the problems that face the
rest of the University are the problems that face
IC also, although to a varying extent.
T h e D i s c u s s i o n D o c u m e n t out l ines the
financial prospects which have resulted from
various Governmental decisions.
The drop in U G C income to the non-medical
University (excluding IC) will be 17.6% by 1982/3.
This wil l o c cur because the G o v e r n m e n t is
removing that part of the Treasury Grant to the
U G C which has in the past kept overseas student
tuition fees below the 'full cost' rate.
Thus if all overseas students remained and paid
the 'full economic cost' to study here the grant
would not decrease.
Overseas student numbers have dropped and
it is assumed by the Committee that they drop by
50%. The Committee estimates that the drop in
student numbers in London will be about 10% and
the drop in income will be 15%.
The other main threat to income is in birthrate
which produces a consequent drop in numbers of
eighteen year-olds, so that by 1995/6 the number
of eighteen year-olds will be 69% of today's
number. This fall is mainly in the lower social
classes which are less likely to send students to
University.
Also the cash limits policy which presently
applies will cause a reduction in real grant if pay
increases are above the percentage recom
mended by Government.
The Committee then ask if their assessment is
correct and if so how are the problems to be
solved.
There are constraints on any action taken.
F i r s t l y the s c h o o l s of the U n i v e r s i t y are
constitutionally autonomous but the financial
decisions can be taken by the Court. Secondly
there is the principle of 'academic tenure' i.e.
when a lecturer is appointed he can remain until
retirement — that is the basis of the contract and
as such, reduction or redeployment of staff is
difficult to say the least. Lastly there is a natural
resistance to change.
The possible solutions are:
1. Do nothing! This is not really viable.
2. Distribute the diminished grant equitably
among schools; thus those who have a high
proportion of overseas students would be cut
most e.g. S O A S .
3. Cut each school equally by about 15-20%.
This is a policy of 'pernicious anaemia'.
The implementation of either of these solutions
would lead to a possible 15% reduction in wages
and salaries expendi ture . The choice being
between fewer and smaller departments. Smaller
d e p a r t m e n t s are u n d e s i r a b l e p r i m a r i l y for
academic reasons i.e. same number of lectures
for fewer students, isolation of staff, replacement
of staff in specialised fields, etc.
The methods by which staff can be reduced are
N a t u r a l W a s t a g e a n d f r e e z i n g of p o s t s ,
Voluntary Retirement or Redundancy. Natural
wastage would take a long time to implement and
mainly senior staff would be affected. This would
mean that senior staff would account for less than
40% of all staff as is laid down by U G C . Voluntary
retirement would cost too much.
Redundancy might be least harmful. But again
the q u e s t i o n of A c a d e m i c T e n u r e a r i s e s .
Termination of contract may lead to court action
for wrongful dismissal. A special fund would be
r e q u i r e d . A l r e a d y the C V C P ( C t t e e V i c e
C h a n c e l l o r s and Pr inc ipa ls ) has asked the
Government to set up a special redundancy fund
for universities.
H O U J it affects IC
The Discussion Document itself refers to IC very
little but the financial problems faced by the
University are faced on a lesser scale here. At
F i n a n c e a n d E x e c u t i v e C o m m i t t e e s staff
redundancies were well discussed; one problem
being that the time will come when the College
does not have the money to make redundancies.
That time is not far off.
Overseas student numbers here have fallen to
771 (994 in 1979/80; 1,074 in 1978/9). The
proportion of overseas students now at College is
16.9% (21.3% in 1979/80; 23.1% in 1978/9).
Numbers will continue to fall for at least a further
two years by which stage the 'full cost' fees will
have been implemented. In effect the lack of
overseas students (and their fees) and the lack of
money from Government will have a serious
effect on the College and on the University. The
Government does not realise the seriousness of
the problem which its own policy imposes on
universities.
What happens in the rest of the University will
not affect IC financially. Perhaps we are better off
as our future is in our own hands unlike some of
the smaller colleges who may face closure by the
University.
The discussions in IC which have been initiated
bv the Swinnerton-Dver discussion document are
those which would lead to independence from the
University. This would remove the University
administration and leave us as a University in our
own right validating our own degrees, etc.
For IC Union it raises the question of facilities
w h i c h we share as part of the U n i v e r s i t y
particularly sporting facilities. It also raises the
problem of the voice the Union has in student
matters which has been channelled through U L U
in the past.
Responses to the Discussion Document must
be returned by March 31. It will be discussed in
College at Board of Studies and Governing Body
before then. We will discuss it at External Affairs
and Council with the odd O P E N Meeting for good
measure on Wednesday, March 4. in the Lower

Football Sixths WITH one minute of the game left the referee
awarded the Sixths a penalty. The crowd was
iiushed as Barton stepped up, the atmosphere
was electric. Slowly Dick moved towards the
ball as the Westminster goalkeeper fidgetted nervously on his line. Then Dick struck the ball sweetly towards the corner of the net but the Westminster goalkeeper leapt to his left and palmed the ball off for a corner. However, the Sixths managed to hold on to their six goal lead until the final whistle.
In fact this was the Sixths biggest win of the season. Chamberlain scored the first after the Westminister goalkeeper could only parry Martin's shot. Haberlin was the next to score with a fine header from a corner. It was following another corner that Chamberlain scored the third goal after Haberlin headed against the bar. The Sixths continued to dominate the game with Martin outstanding in mid-field. Roche added a fourth with a header from c l o s e range but despi te further pressure the score was four-nil at half-time.
In the second half, playing against the wind, the Sixths created fewer chances. After a quarter of an hour Coussens scored the fifth goal following a fine solo run. The game then stagnated for a period and all credit should be given to Higham, Haberlin, Bradley and Davies in the defence for coping admirably with Westminster's occasional breaks. The sixth goal came midway through the second half when Roche's powerful cross was deflected into the net by a Westminster defender. IC continued to press forward but did not add to their score.
T E A M : Hampton, Higham, Bradley, Haberlin, Davies, Tinkler, Martin, Gartside, Coussens, Roche, Chamberlain.
Fencing OUR return match with Kings Col lege , London, on home ground was overall, as successful as our away match had been. We fielded two foil teams of four members each — the A team and a mixed ability B team — together with one Epee team of three members. I'm afraid that our sabre team was yet again disappointed as no opposition sabre team was available — bad luck lads.
The Epee team came up against particularly tough opposition and lost 6-3, the same score as in the away match. On a more optimistic note, both foil teams won convincingly. The A team conceded only 6 out of 16 bouts, Chris Wachnicki remaining unbeaten. The whole team produced highly entertaining fights with some beautiful hits — pity we didn't bring a camera. The B team were also on good form, Johnathon Reed winning all of his bouts. Special congratulations are due to Hugh MacGillivray, who, in his first match, won three out of his four fights with some very neat blade work; well done Hugh.
Thanks are due to Phil Bird who presided most ably over the B team match and did all the general dogsbody work on the evening.
Foil A (10-6) Team: Bird, Crisp, Parker, Wachnicki.
Foil B Team (12-4): MacGillivray, Reed, Spottiswoode, Tsui.

Weekend LAST weekend saw the massed heathens
from a certain Mining polytechnic in Cornwall
sent back west with little more than a narrow
victory in one out of six events.
The competitions began well on Friday
evening with a resounding 5-0 victory in the
squash. It's been several years since RSM
came out top, and there was certainly no
better way to get things back on the right
track. Congratulations to the team led by
Dave Molesworth and ably backed up by
Ralph David, John Stocks (repeating third
year for the e ighteeneth t ime) . R i c h
Thompson, and Mark Patterson.
No problems were had in the table tennis
with Rich Fifieid (ULU number one) leading
tiie way. The only criticism is that C S M won
two out of ten games. The one disappointing
event of the evening was the badminton held
in the Great Hall. Hard luck to the six RSM
players who were narrowly edged 4-5 into
second place.
With the tension gradually mounting, the
football and hockey teams with the more
dedicated RSM supporters left the Union
early on Saturday morning.
C S M decided, unlike previous years, to
bring a hockey team with them. After a quick
start by RSM and a gradual takeover of
control the result was never in question after
I went two up midway through the
second half. With several players having to
play out of position the final performance was
quite creditable. Maybe the CSM will think
twice before bringing another team up to
Harlington.
By one o'clock the number of supporters
had grown sufficiently for there to be a cup-
tie atmosphere during the football. The CSM
ware revoltingly noisey after a first minute
goal, but were soon shut up by an over
whelming barrage on their defence. By half-
time RSM were three up.
Was it complacency or sympathy that
allowed C S M to pull two goals back? No, it
Wham!!! Dashing heriocs on the hockey field.
just made their inevitable defeat that more
disheartening. R S M , captained by Tom
Hanke, performed magnificently.
Even though the RSM were now 4-1 up in
the match results, the success of the whole
weekend hinged very much on the result of
the Bottle match. The tension before the
game in the changing room was unbearable
and the atmosphere electric.
The game proved to be very hard indeed, as
can be seen in the number of injuries
received. Two C S M players had to be taken
off concussed and one with a broken jaw.
Furthermore the C S M winger flaked out after
the game; he was also concussed. Doug
Mcintosh had to be led off with ten minutes to
go with a twisted ankle.
The only scoring in the first half was an
excellent penalty goal by Keith Maynard.
Keith had an excellent game and his kicking
was superb and did much to inspire the team
to go forward.
Good defensive work in the second half
saw RSM soak up a lot of pressure and
gradually more into attack. Mark Daniels and
Ray Parkinson were stopped just a yard short
in a period of sustained RSM pressure.
Eventually a line out on the CSM line led to
M c i n t o s h go ing over for the first try,
beautifully converted by Maynard. From the
kick-off a certain CSM prop reverted to low
flying head-butts and succeeded in breaking
his jaw and stopping the game for six
minutes. The' result was never in question
now and only complacency allowed CSM to
score an unconverted try in the last minute
Although the game was a bit scrappy at
times it was hard fought with total commit
ment from both sides.
The Dinner to follow was a rather rowdy
affair with CSM proving what animals they
really are. The Bottle was duly returned to the
Union Bar on Sunday and now RSM can say:
"Didn't we stuff Camborne".

Football Seconds IC's impressive first half performance was
enough to give them both points and a
hundred per cent record at home this season.
The afternoon had not started well when
only nine players arrived in the Union
Lounge. The goalkeeper problem was solved
however when Al Betts, who had returned to
IC for the previous night's Aerosoc dinner,
walked in and accepted the offer for a game.
Inside the first ten minutes of the match, IC
were in front after Veenman had forced the
ball across the area and Hartland rifled his
shot, on the run, past the helpless keeper.
Further pressure again paid dividends when
Beer volleyed his shot against the keeper with
such force that it rebounded and allowed
him a few more attempts before finally
squeezing the ball home.
LSE however, are a good footballing side
and were not going to give up easily. The
impressive Betts was forced to make two fine
saves when faced with a rapidly advancing
forwards. In the second half LSE increased
the pressure to little effect, whilst IC
squandered the chances which coud have
made the game safe.
LSE eventually scored with fifteen minutes
to go when a shot from outside the box hit a
post and rebounded kindly to the feet of an
LSE forward.
The last quarter produced some frantic
stuff, although the tenacity of every member
of the side was enough to give IC the win that
they thoroughly deserved.
TEAM: Betts, Dunhill, Beer, Armstrong,
Lakin, Griffiths, Wiggins, Lay, Veenman,
Hartland, Saunders.
Jim Beer
Football Fourths IC took the field with three changes from their
regular team for the top of the table clash.
The Fourths started well, gaining control of
the midfield and should have taken the lead
cheering this spell of pressure.
Twenty minutes into the game Hawa gave
IC the lead when a break led to him scoring
from just inside the box. This led to more
good play from the league leaders.
Then disaster struck, Buckley in the right
back position, with time and space to play the
ball anywhere passed straight to their centre
forward who hit a first time shot past
Hampton. The match then became scrappy
and rough play resulted with Burns, Hawa
and Graves all' involved in fights with the
opposition.
After half-time IC looked the better team,
and McNicholas gave them the lead when
after a long ball from defence he scrambled
the ball into the net. King's defence were
again caught square and Burns lobbed the
advancing keeper to give the Fourths a 3-1
lead.
Lack of concentration in defence allowed
Kings to reduce the deficit before the best
goal of the match. Buckley beat two men and
ran thirty yards before curling a shot just
inside the post. Again King's scored quickly
but IC's defence managed to hold out and
enabled IC to gain the two points.
TEAM: Hampton, Clegg, Gohill, Maddy,
Chown, Buckley, Graves, Dolan, McNicholas,
Burns, Hawa.
Castaways Cup THIS is one of the most important and
prestigious events in the ULSC calendar. All
the London colleges and City University are
invited to enter a three boat team and IC
presented two teams to defend the title again
this year.
The racing took place over last weekend
and the first race was timed for just after 9:30
on Saturday. However the Harp was frozen
and by the time racing started (almost an
hour late) the efforts of the rescue boat zig
zagging up and down the lake and of the few
happy souls who had taken a boat out had
made depressingly little impact on the
surface.
IC 2 were due to sail the first race and using
the tactic of sailing in ice free channels were
winning easily until the first mark. Here the
almost unbroken ice brought all the team to a
halt, unable to tack, and in danger of giving
penalties if they touched. However new
f o u n d sk i l l and s o m e luck got them
unscathed out of the situation and they went
on to gain first, second and third positions.
As the day proceeded the ice cleared and
some good team racing was seen. IC 2 were
beating most people on the water, but giving
penalty points to anyone who cared to ask, in
one race giving three "greens" (63
/ 4 points)
on the start line before the race. They finally
lost to both UL teams, QMC and IC 1 but beat
City on a resail. This gave them six wins and
fifth place in the compet i t ion. A good
weekend's sailing considering the team
consisted entirely of first years.
IC 1 however owned the competition. They
began showing little potential, winning race
but only by narrow margins but as Saturday's
racing continued a combination of good
ind iv idua ls , people with team rac ing
experience and fast sailing ability, began to
show as one after another the teams fell to
their superior force. By Saturday evening, as
the teams retired to hot food, the bar and barn
dancing, arranged by Castaways, IC 1 was
the only unbeaten team having shown its
versatility and consistancy through changing
winds and weather conditions.
9:30 Sunday morning again saw the team
on the water for a resail against UC2, this was
a farce, since although IC managed to put
hastily rigged boats on the water for the resail
UC2 had requested, UC couldn't manage to
present a team and IC1 merely sailed the
course alone. This did however give a
measure of the again vastly different weather
conditions. In contrast to Saturday it was
blowing quite hard and it eventually became
necessary to reef the sails.
The league table s h o u l d have been
concluded with a match between IC1 and
UC1 but by the appointed time it was clear
that it was these two teams that were to meet
in the final and with Wembley SC putting
more and more boats on the water it was
decided to go straight into the final, best of
two races.
In the first race Lewis moved immediately
into first place and Baker, covering the
opposition stayed just ahead of Murray and
two UC boats in second, with first and second
position, a winning combination the two
leaders sailed for the finish. UC needing the
best placings possible should have pushed
Murray back to sixth, but rounding the last
bouy with only yards to go they let him
through into third place. IC retained their
unbeaten record and needed only one boat
in the first three to win the competition.
In the second race Lewis again got a good
start and sailed away from the fleet in first
place with Murray and Baxter loosly covering
the opposition up.
The beats they retained third and fifth
places, despite some desparate manoeuvres
by UL during which a green was given. The
final result was IC1 retained their unbeaten
record over the weekend beating UC1 in the
final by 15V 2 points to 26 (first, second, third,
first, third and fifth) and retainino the Cup.
A word is due here to thank Cestaways for
organising an event which went jff smoothly
and was enjoyable both on and off the water.
Snooker THE B TEAM with a new line-up managed to
crush a QMC team who lacked talent and a
sporting attitude. Mr P Holt kept up his good
form by winning convinc ingly . Bennet
managed to lose in a dull frame where talent
and inspiration were in short supply.
The battle of the two top league teams took
place last week when our very own A team
took on our C team. The result shocked most
of the people concerned when the A team
won by five frames to nil. The C team were
taken by surprise when their veteran players
lost frame after frame to an A team riddled
with young upstarts.
This year's AGM will be held on March 11.
Papers for next year's committee posts are
up in the Snooker Lounge.
Water Polo LAST Saturday, Bristol University came to
London to give us a match, in return for our
visit last month. Both sides were hoping to
improve on the 4-4 score last time.
imperial started very well, and scored three
goa ls in the f irst quar ter , whi le only
c o n c e e d i n g one . Last , He f feman and
McCartney took turns in our goal, each
playing well.
The end result was a pleasing 8-3 win for
Imperial. Goals came from Barry, Nick, Mike
and Richard.
Ten Pin Bowling ON Sunday, February 22 four enthusiastic
members of the Bowling Club set off to bowl
in the P o m p e y Q u a d s T o u r n a m e n t at
Portsmouth. When we left London at 9:30am
the weather was cold but the roads were
clear, however, on reaching Hindhead, half
way to P o r t s m o u t h , the weather was
appalling with compacted snow on the roads.
Only skil l ful driving on J Knight 's part
prevented an accident. We arrived unscathed
and after sampl ing the local brew we
c o m m e n c e d bowl ing. The bowling was
divided into two sets of doubles and the
combined quads compet i t ion and after
disappointing bowling by all players in our
team we lost the Quads Trophy that Imperial
held last year. However, individual trophies
were won by McMullan and Cook. For the
highest handicap doubles series. Finally
thanks must go to Knight for providing
transport.

Consoc Opinion Poll
The Consoc opinion poll , while not necessarily
r e p r e s e n t a t i v e of IC as a who le c e r t a i n l y
contains some very interesting results.
By far the most interesting result is that a
substantial majority "don't know" when asked
about J o h n Passmore, L i z Lindsay, and Rachel
Snee. The main way they are likely to get
" k n o w n " is through the pages of F E L I X and
unless they do something to alleviate the
stagnant state of I C U soon, they are liable to
be forgotten completely.
It amazes me that it is just these type of
people who are awarded pots and U G A s at the
end of the year for "their unfailing devotion to
the U n i o n " .
I think Scaramouche is gradually taking over

M o r e p r o b l e m s f o r P r i m e l i a C o l l e g e
O r c h e s t r a . T h e y have been p l a n n i n g a n
informal musical evening for the week after
the ir c o n c e r t , but apar t f r o m a genera l
consensus that it should consist of five pieces,
the third being for oboe and piano, everyone
has a different opinion over what music should
be played.
Nevertheless, after much discussion, the
following has been agreed on. There must be a
piece for clarinet a n d piano immediately before
a piece by Beethoven. Something by Mozar t
should immediately follow a piano trio. There
must be a string quartet, which cannot be
played next to the piano trio, but must go next
to a work by Brahms. A n d there must be a
piece by Schumann , and a piece for horn next to,
but o n opposite sides of, a piece by Saint-Saens.
N o w t h e r e m u s t be a w a y to p l e a s e
everyone. But how?

Last Week's Solution

Imagine the can divided into two identical
cylinders, and consider the top cylinder. After
the f irst p o u r i n g , the e m p t y part of th is
cylinder is the same size and shape as the part
which contains beer. Thus the first student
gets a quarter of the beer.
A n identical argument applied to the whole
can shows that half the beer remains after the
second pouring. So the second student gets a
quarter of the beer.
N o w to calculate the fourth (and thence the
third) student's share, I'm afraid you do have
to use calculus, but there's one easy approach
and several hard ones. The easy way is to take
volume elements parallel to the axis of the
c y l i n d e r . T h e F E L I X t y p e s e t t e r w o n ' t do-
mathematical symbols, so we'll have to change
typeface here.
Now the volume elements are rect-l
angular with length x.— and width 2 2
2/(r - x ) . So the volume required is
V = JJj x . | . 2 / ( r2
- x2
) dx 21 ,r .
11
x2
) * dx
r 1
, 2 2,2 ,r [- ^Cr - x ) ] 0
2 o 2
3 * .
Since the volume of the whole can is 2 2
Tir I , the last student's share is -r—
1 2 ^ and so the third student gets ^ - -JJJ-
The winner is A Shiekh.
There can't be many students at IC who
don't have A-level maths, and so I had no qualms
about setting a puzzle which needs calculus
even if it did cause several people to pour
coffee over their lecture notes last Friday.
This week's puzzle, in case you haven't
guessed, is a plug for IC Symphony Orches
tra's concert on M a r c h 6, not to mention their
informal musical evening on M a r c h 12. Next
week's puzzle is a plug for IC Cho i r . Mend-a-

Study in the Shadow of the Gun Bir Zeit University is a Palestinian
institution in the Israeli-occuppied
territory of the West Bank. More
than 1,500 students are currently
taking degree courses in both the
Arts and Sciences. Israel regards Bir
Zeit as a "hotbed of nationalism",
o f t e n c o n f l i c t i v e w i t h i ts o w n
ambitions for the West Bank, and a
voice to be silenced. The students,
faced with the continuing denial of
their political rights, on occasion go
out onto the streets to demonstrate.
The resulting clashes with the Israeli
military authority add to the cycle of
tension.
The Youth Council of the United
Nations Association is hosting a
s p e a k i n g t o u r of t w o s t u d e n t
representatives from Bir Zeit. They
are c o m i n g to th is C o l l e g e on

The early history of Palestine
In very early times, Palestine was
inhabited by Semitic peoples, the
earliest being the Canaanites. When
the Tribes of Israel came to Palestine
after their captivity in Egypt, they
vere united into one kingdom by
King David in 1000BC. This kingdom
reached its greatest heights under
King David's son, Solomon, who
built the first Temple of Jerusalem.
However, after Solomon's death, the
history of the People of Israel (or
rather of the two kingdoms of Israel
and Judah) is a record of civil wars
and struggles with alien tribes.
720 B C : Assyrians destroyed the
Kingdom of Israel and carried its
inhabitants away as captives.
u O O B C : T h e B a b y l o n i a n k i n g ,
N e b u c h a d e n e z z a r , a t tacked the
Kingdom of Judah.
»67BC: Jerusalem and Solomon's
' emple were destroyed by Nebuch-
adenezzar. Most of the inhabitants
were taken captive.
5 1 7 B C : Jews were able to return to
Palestine.
332BC: Domination by the Mace
d o n i a n s , w h o t r e a t e d the J e w s
harshly. Following the Macedonian
rale was a period of certain indepen
dence.
C ' J B C : R o m a n c o n q u e s t under
Fompey.
i ' A D : Emperor Hadrian prohibited
the Jews from entering Jerusalem.
From this period dates the disper
sion of the Jews throughout the
world. Since then, until the establish-
nent of the State of Israel in 1948,
no Jewish Government has existed
in Palestine. Although some Jews
I ^ve always lived in Palestine, their
numbers have fluctuated depending
on the tolerance of the successive
rulers.
7 0 A D : Titus destroyed Jerusalem.
4 0 0 A D : T h e part i t i on ing of the
R o m a n E m p i r e . Palest ine under
Byzantium's rule until:-
6 3 7 A D : Arab conquest. After the interlude of the Crusades, the Arab ruler invited the Jews to return to Palestine.
1 5 1 7 A D : T u r k s c o n q u e r e d the
country and ruled it until the end of
the First World War (forming part of
the Ottoman Empire).
Therefore it can be seen that,
e x c e p t for the C r u s a d e r inter
regnum, Palest ine was ruled by
Arabs and then by Turks for over
1,300 years following the Byzantine
era.
The recent history of Palestine:
"The Palestine Question"
The defeat of the Turkish armies
during the First World War, with the
assistance of the A r a b upris ing
(some Arab leaders at the time were
seeking independence from Ottoman
rule) resulted in the break-up of the
Ottoman Empire. The administration
of Palestine was then handed to the
British Government.
H o w e v e r , two c o n t r a d i c t o r y
promises had been made during the
campaign to defeat the Turks. One
was to assure ultimate independence
for the Arab peoples of the region, in
return for assistance in defeating the
Turkish army. The other was the
Balfour Declaration of 1917 which
granted the wish of the Zionist
leadership in Europe to establish a
Jewish homeland in Palestine.
In the following decades, Jewish
immigration came into direct conflict
with the livelihoods of the Palestinian
peasantry. Tracts of land were sold
by absentee Arab landlords to the
Jewish National Fund, which in turn
led to the dispossession of the Arab
tenants as the Jewish settlements
w e r e e s t a b l i s h e d . T h r o u g h the
twent i es a n d t h i r t i e s , f requent
clashes between the communities
took place sometimes resulting in
many deaths.
At the end of the Second World
War, the British Government came
under increasing pressure to allow
large numbers of Jewish refugees
from Europe to settle in Palestine,
a n d f a c e d w i t h a n i m p o s s i b l e
situation they decided to hand the
problem over to the United Nations.
The U N decided upon a partition
plan to divide Palestine into two
areas, one with a predominantly
J e w i s h p o p u l a t i o n , the o t h e r
predominantly Arab. Whilst accept
able to the Zionist leadership, albeit
a compromise with their wishes, the
Arab states refused to agree with
partition, such that with the ending
of the British mandate in 1948, war
b r o k e out between the newly-
c r e a t e d I s r a e l i s ta te a n d the
neighbouring Arab states.
As a result of the war, and the
conflict leading up to it, most of the
Arab population of Palestine fled,
while the West Bank carne under the
c o n t r o l of the J o r d a n i a n army .
Jordan formally annexed the West
Bank in 1950.
In 1967, yet another war ravaoed
the region leaving the West Bank
and G a z a Strip, the Golan Heights
a n d S i n a i in the h a n d s of a n
occupying Israeli army.
Since 1967, administration of the
West Bank and the other occuppied
territories has rested with a military
government. It is directly answerable
to the Israeli Ministry of Defence and
has absolute authori ty over the
Palestinian population.
T h e P a l e s t i n i a n p e o p l e n o w
number approximately four million.
About half a million of the Palestinians
live in Israel. Another 1,200,000 live
in the occuppied territories of the
West Bank and Gaza . The remain
der are in exile, many still in refugee
camps, many as foreigners in other
countries. The majority of those in
exile still hope to return to their own
country.
Professor Arnold Toynbee wrote
in 1968: "The tragedy in Palestine is
not just a local one: it is a tragedy for
the World, because it is an injustice
that isa menacetothe World'speace".
The Recent Situation
The recent violent street battles in
the West Bank in w h i c h Israeli
troops shot at and wounded un
armed Palestinian student demon
s t r a t o r s r e c e i v e d c o n s i d e r a b l e
a t t e n t i o n in the W o r l d ' s P r e s s .
Higher Education has now emerged
as the focus for the cont inuing
struggle between Jews and Arabs in
the West Bank.
Bir Zeit University is an indepen
dent Palestinian institution, located
about twelvemilesnorthof Jerusalem.
It teaches to B A and BSc level in Arts
and Sciences, and its degrees are
now recognised throughout the
World.
One of the major objectives of the
University is to encourage students
to stay in the West Bank and work
with their community, rather than to
seek more lucrative employment in
the Gulf or the West. Therefore
e a c h s t u d e n t must c o m p l e t e a
programme of c ommuni ty work
each year, which is then counted
t o w a r d s the f i n a l d e g r e e , the
purpose being to encourage greater
awareness and critical discussion by
the students of the problems facing
the community. The 1,500 students
in the University have to spend at
least 120 extra-curricular hours on a
community work programme. Dr
M u h a m m e d Hal la j , D e a n of the
F a c u l t y of A r t s , says that the
students "must be actively involved
in the d a i l y l i fe of t h e i r l o c a l
communities; higher education must
not serve as a form of escapism".
Trouble started at the University
early in 1980 when the native Arab
West bankers demonstrated their
full opposition to the Camp David
"autonomy" plan about which they
had not been consulted, and which
n u m e r o u s U N bod ies h a d c o n
demned as bearing little resem
blance to Palest in ian self-deter
mination.
The growth of a sizeable student
body in the West Bank vigorously
opposing the Israeli occupation and
any attempt to impose the Camp
David agreements clearly alarms the
Israelis, as shown by the recent
h a r s h a c t i o n a g a i n s t s t u d e n t
demonstrators. The recent moves
against the universities (Bir Zeit and
the three other Palestinian univer
sities) are only the latest of a series
of problems exper ienced by the
universities as a result of operating
under occupation.
The problems include the 'invasion'
of c a m p u s e s by the m i l i t a r y ,
closures (Bir Zeit was closed down
for months in 1979), the refusal of
the military authorities to allow the
entry of certain Arabic books and
periodicals, despite the fact that they
are available to students at the
Hebrew University in Jerusalem,
and difficulties over obtaining work
permits for foreign members of
faculty.
Although these problems created
headaches for Univers i ty admin
istrators, they did not affect the
University's basic freedom. Order
N o 854 issued by the West Bank
Military Governor in July of 1980
was thus particularly ominous, as it
was aimed at curbing that freedom
and enabling the occupation author
ities to interfere to an unprecedented
extent. It stipulated that universities
must be licensed, implying that the
licence could be withdrawn. This is
seen as placing the Univers i t ies
under permanent threat of closure.
It also said that the names of all
faculty members and students must
be approved by the occupat ion
authorities, in order to 'weed out'
those who had been committed for
s e c u r i t y o f f e n c e s or h e l d for
questioning — and almost every
Palestinian West Bank family has
members who fall into this category.
A l l courses of study are subject to
the approval of the military governor
— again, an entirely new kind of
restriction. University students say
that in recent weeks their notebooks
have been seized and scrutinised by
the occupation authorities.
The universities have refused to
comply with the new decree, which
aims to 'undermine the University's
status, its independence, its legiti
mate functions and its academic
freedom," as a statment issued by
Bir Zeit said. The statement pointed
out that the decree, by amending the
Jordanian Law of Education and
Culture of 1964, contravened the
Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949
which stipulates that an occupying
power does not have the right to
introduce changes in the laws of the
country under occupation.
The content of education is also a
source of growing dissatisfaction. As
Dr Ibrahim Abulughod who headed
the P a l e s t i n e O p e n U n i v e r s i t y
feasibility study team says: "The
Palest inians in higher educat ion
have been educated in accordance
w i t h a c u r r i c u l u m o v e r w h i c h
Palest inians have absolutely no
control. Since these curricula have
been des igned by the n a t i o n a l
authorities of various countries, they
were designed, if they were designed
at all, in the light of the needs of
those societies. The curricula in all
these countries have nothing to do
with the identity of the Palestinian,
with his heritage, with his future
aspirations. They are not designed to
serve the needs of P a l e s t i n i a n
society, they are not informed by
Palestinian heritage and culture".
Bir Zeit University is frequently
seen as a threat to Israeli authority in
the West Bank. Come and hear two
students from this University on
Thursday, March 5 at 1:00pm in the
Union Senior Common Room.
