Thanks to the expertise and forward·planning of our Finance Departmentwe have a financial plan that fits theacademic plan and one which is takingrealistic account of current policies.The prospect of an overall 2% reduct­ion in funding over the next few yearshas been anticipated in our forwardplanning and, hence, we are not teet­ering on the brink of the financialabyss that now dismays some of ourcolleagues, locally and nationally. Ourdeficit at the end of the financialyear was £310,000 • not an overdraftany of us would relish personally, buta lower firgure for the College thanhad been expected. The projecteddeficit for this year is £200,000, with

The cademic Plan was submitted tothe COUIt on time and has been for­warded to the UGC for urgent consid­eration. King's seems to have beensuccessful in impressing upon theCourt the wisdom of its plans andtheir importance to the University asa whole; the Report goes to the UGCwith the Court's support. The UGCdoes not have the necessary capitalfunds to hand now, but hopefully canmake a commitment to support King'sin their need to integrate as soon aspossible. There is a GC meeting in

ovember so we might hope for aninitial response this term. A ovembermeeting is also planned with PeterBrooke (Under Secretary of State) andSir David Hancock (Permanent Secret­ary) at the DES in which they can beformally briefed on the King's position;Sir Keith Joseph has shown an interestin this meeting and may, hopefully,also attend. These developments showthat we are moving at the right speed,in the right direction and, althoughthere can be no promises where thereis no certainty, the support is therewhere it counts. Any opportunity topress our case must be taken and thatincludes individual members of staffexplaining our needs and plans to theirown personal contacts in ResearchCouncils and the like.

61 DAYS INTO ORBIT .. A DSTILL COUNTING ...PRl CIPAL'S OPE I G OF SESSIO DDRESS TO STAFF A D

STUDE TS LOOKS FORWARD WITH OPTIMISM

In the rust three days of the new session the Principal. Professor Stewart Sutherland.gave a warm and energetic welcome to members of the new College. In introducingnew students to key members of staff on the three campuses he offered congratul­ations on their achievement - in just being here - and emphasised their role asfoundation students of a new institution: the future of the merged College beganwith them and in many ways relied on them.

His message for staff was also one of congratulation- for the time effort andemotion they had invested in making the merger possible and for the excellentacademic results achieved this year 46% of students achieving first or upper secondc1as honours), a sure sign that despite upheavals and uncertainties the quality ofwork has never wavered. King's now, he said had every right to feel optimistic - acautious optimism, but optimism nonethele s. A quote from Marx (Groucho, notKart) summed it up - "Don't let's be pessimists, always spending time buildingdungeons in the air!".

In bringing staff up-to-date with some of the major developments in issues affectingthe College, Professor Sutherland demonstrated the progress that had already beenmade and highlighted the advantages with which we begin the first MichaelmasTerm of a very new session.

The Principal in conversation at a reception for overseas student held at the tart of session.

THE CO RT D THE GC

Ireasonable hope that it may be lower,and we plan to break even by 1988:not something that many institutionscan say at this time. Every sector ofhigher education has severe financialproblems and we are not exempt.However we are tackling them positively.

STAFFING

Our staffing at present stands at appr­oximately 1,400 with an academicstaff element of 523. Tills is aboveour target of 1,310 (490 academic)and there will have to be the greatestscrutiny in any filling of vacant posts.The Principal assured staff that natur­al wastage is the pattern being follow­ed in the reduction of staffing levels.These figures presume no change inprojected income.

SELECTIVITY OF FUNDING

The suggestion that there should bedepartments who do research and thosewho do not is not one supported bythe Principal. Research is inextricablefrom teaching and it is the relation­ship between the two which is essent­ial to universities. Teaching mustreflect continuing research and researchmoney should be available to all.Formula funding to departments will,therefore, continue, even if this hasan aspect of 'equal misery' for all, asa two-tie,. system such as suggestedby the UGC is unacceptable.

NEW KING'S INIATIVES

With the trimming and snipping impliedby the financial and staffing pressuresthere is a distinct risk of stagnation inthe growth of the College. To ensurethat this situation does not developseveral new steps have been taken. AnACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT FUNDhas been established to serve two mainpurposes: to allow for the possibilityof filling key vacant posts which targetsand restrictions might otherwise prevent,and to provide 'seed-corn' funding forpromising academic schemes. This byno means ensures that all worthwhileneeds can be met, but it does allow fora process of bidding which will see thatat least the best new projects have achance of getting off the ground. Appr­oximately £250,000 has been set asidefor this year - not a fortune, but morethat the University has set aside fortheir Academic Initiative Scheme. Asimilar fund for SPACE DEVELOPMENThas also been established to support ourmedium and long-term aspirations forsite integration. Up to £ 1m could bemade available this year, dependent onprogress on the sale of sites. These two

funds provide the basis for continuingself-help in reshaping the College acad­emically and spatially.

Initiatives in new personnel are alsodesigned to promote the future well­being of King's. Two Assistant Principalare now appointed with new roles andresponsibilities (see separate article inthis edition). The next meeting ofCouncil will be asked to consider theappointment of an Indistrial LiaisonOfficer, to maximise the enormouspotential for external collaboration andensure the appropriate professional app­roach to relations with industry and comcommerce. The Secretary, Mr MylesTempany, is already laying firm found­ations for his new role as Vice-Principal,External Affairs; an ambassadorial rolefundamental to the future of the Coll­ege, and he has in fact just returnedfrom a highly successful visit to theFriends of King's College in Canada.

In short, the College is well aware ofthe need to secure its own future andis ready to review and consider allappropriate means of facilitating this.

OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

PHARMACY AND NURSING STUDIESThe University is still considering thepossibility of moving Pharmacy andNursing Studies to the unused space atSt Georges, Tooting. King's remains tot­ally committed to retaining these dep­artments within KQC and can see noacademic sense in moving them to Toot­ing. A small working group led by Prof­essor Tyrrell, the Vice-Principal, is, there­fore, continuing to press our case bothwithin the University and through ourfriends in relevant professional groups.

ENGINEERINGFollowing the University Working Pa rtyrecGmmendations" our Mechanical Engin­aering Department has been in discussionwith its counterpart at University Coll­ege and has found sufficient commonground to proceed with plans for aJoint School. Civil Engineering has nothad the same success in discussions withQueen M ary College and there seems norealistic possibility of joining these twodepartments. Tentative discussions have,therefore, been started with Civil Engin­eering at University College and a fullreport of progress on both matters willgo to the Joint Planning Committee ofthe University.

BIOLOGICAL SCIENCESThe University has made no formalresponse to Professor David Smith'sReport. As this is a Report whichKing's strongly supports, on a matterof great College concern, a close eye

I

will be kept on developments in thisarea.

WESTFIELDDiscussions here have taken a significantstep forward. A paper now preparedadvocates one governing body onefaculty, one academic plan, one spaceplan - in short, full integration as theonly sensible way forward. This paperhas been accepted by the WestfieldCouncil and will 11;0 to the first meetingof the King's Council.

QUEE ELIZABETH A D CHELSEADiscussion has been underway forsome time as. to the most appropriateways of commemorating these names;certain decisions have been taken andfurther recommendations are to be putto Council. Chelsea remains naturallyin the campus title. Queen Mary Hallof Residence at Kensington has, withRoyal approval, been renamed QueenElizabeth Hall. The Principal is keenthat named research studentships becreated, that appropriate Chairs mightbe renamed and that consideration begiven to the instigation of commemor­ation lectures on a regular basis, tobe delivered by people of eminencein relevant fields. It is importantalways to recognise the past as wellas to plan for the future.and to pre­serve things of lasting importance.

WHERE IS IT ALL LEADING?

The Principal left no doubt that hesees this new College as alive with newpossibilities. Much has been attemptedand much achieved, but there is stillmuch to be done and this is certainlyno time for complacency. King's is atop-flight academic institution and allplanning and decision-making must betowards the maintenance of that excel­lence. Our intake of students this yearis of high quality, from home and over­seas, showing every sign of sustaining orsurpassing our current record of achiev­ment. In this coming session we mustnow look forward, realistically but withthat 'cautious optimism', to perfectingthe new orbit into which we have beenlaunched.

A sad shadow was cast over the startof the new session by news of thesudden death of Professor Victor Gold,FRS, Head of the Department ofChemistry, Fellow of King's College andmember of the College since 1944. Afull obituary will be contained in thenext edition of COMMENT.Funeral arrangements are given at the endof this issue.

It is obviously impossible to representeach and every area of the work of the College and the exhibition aims only togive a broad feel of the scope and importance of our work and future potential.

The fo t Reverend and Rt Hon Robert Run ie, Archbishop of anterbury, willvisit the ollege on Thursday October 24 to preach at a Service of Celebrationfor the merged College. This will be a formal recognition of the merger, therust since the Parliamentary Bill received the Royal Assent earlier in the summer.

The Service will be held in the College Chapel on the Strand campus and willbegin at noon. Seating in the Chapel is limited and attendance at the Service willhave to be by ticket only. Some invitations have already been issued to all partsof the College but approximatecly half, some 200, tickets are open to application.Any member of KQC, staff and students, is most welcome to apply for a ticket,which will be issued on a first-come-first-serve' basis.

SSISTA T PRI CIPALS TAKED RESPO SIBI LlTIES

At the end of last session twoAssistant Principals were appointed:Professor Peter Gahan, based at theKensington Campus, and John Muir,based at Chelsea, at 552 King'sRoad.

EW CO-ORDI ATI G ROLETheir aim will be to provide afocal point on each campus and,in conjunction with the Site Sec­retaries (Mrs Judy Staight atKensington and Mr Gerry Hughesat Chelsea), to ensure the smoothrunning of all activities on eachsite. The day-to-day running ofthe buildings and provision of ser­vices will be dealt with by the SiteSecretaries - the Assistant Principalswill have a complementary role indrawing the local interests togetherand linking them to the overall lifeof the College. They are there toinform, and to be informed, aboutlocal activities; to receive any com­ments or worries people may haveand represent them as necessary tothe College as a whole; to offer aco-ordinating service in bringingstaff and students together, partic­ularly socially.

It is the hope of both AssistantPrincipals that there will be a goodfeeling of community on each ofthe campuses and that people willbe encouraged to visit all the sites

regularly and become involved in whateach has to offer

EW Co-ORDI ATI G ROLES

EW RESPO SIBILITIESIn addition to their roles as campusco-ordinators the two Assistant Princip­als will take responsibilities for forminga coherent College policy in two vitallyimportant areas: overseas liaison andsclIDols liaison.

Overseas liaison will be under the direct­ion of Professor Gahan, and SchoolsLiaison will be Mr Muir's responsibility.In both cases the aim will be to devel!lPa clearly defined and corporate approachin areas of increasing importance. Themerger has highlighted the need tobring together all the experience and

expertise existing throughout KQC toensure that all our efforts and plansare maximised. A central focus forthese activities will bring all the relevantinformation together and enable guidancand advice on current initiatives to begiven to any member of staff.

KING'S SUCCESS IN CHESSThe newly-formed Chess Club of King'sCollege achieved a notable success in1984-1985 by winning both the Inter­collegiate League and the knock-out cupagainst the other London colleges.

4,010 MILES PER GALLONew British Record for King' Car

Earlier this summer the King's Collegecar, built by the Department of Mechan­ical Engineering, won the Shell-MotorMileage Marathon at Silverstone, settinga new British fuel economy record of4010 miles per gallon.

To those students, staff and occasionaloutside helpers behind the King's CollegeMarathon project, the fascination engen­dered by this unique event is self-evident,though not so to the general public. Thisreflects both the low-key media coverageand its 'once a year' status. That thevery successful King's result in the 1985event reached a wider public was a wel­come change, in part probably accountedfor by the increasing recourse to youngdrivers around the age of 11 years old.

The Shell-Motor regulation for the Mara­thon competition are quite simple:

It is to the credit of the King's ollegeentry over the years that they have norm­ally competed in the 'Specials' section ­the more demanding prestige event wherethe extremes of performance in fueleconomy terms are found. In 1985 thisdeliberately 'self-challenging' positionreached another high point with theircrushing win.

Like most competitive achievements, thedramatic win this year involved many'stories within other stories', but it wouldbe right to acknowledge the major motiv­ation which continues to flow from thelong-standing relationship between theCollege and Ford Motor Company.

Ford entered the event for the first timein 1982, in co-operation with the alreadyexistent King's effort. This joint entrycame third at 180 I mpg. in 19M3 theyentered their own vehicle, which was tocome second and fmally in 1894 they won-with a British record of 3803 mpg. There

I THE COLLEGE LIBRARY

The Library supports the academic activityof the College through the provision of awide range of services.

On a personal level, a Secretary of theDarts Team, it fell to me to organisethe event. This I would have foundimpossible without the help of manymembers of the Social Club. Withoutalso the knowledge and patient under­standing of Mike Harrington and KeithVellenowith, the event may not havehappened - less still have been thesuccess that it was.

EDUC no SECRET RYSPEAKS TO CVCP

'The central mes age of the Green Paper('The Development of Higher Educationinto the 1990s') is that by and large thehigher education system is doing its job,but that as we move into the next decadeome important changes are needed in

the interests of the nation's economicand social development, of quality, andof value for the taxpayer's money. Iwant to see a higher proportion of ouryoung people enjoying the benefits ofhigher education. The Government'policies for better schools - which I hopecommand the support of this audience ­are designed, at least in part, to that end.I want research to flourish. nd I wantto see more professional updating andmore continuing education of appropriatequality. I believe that the universitysystem at large shares these aims. Thechallenge we both face is to do all this ata co t to the taxpayer that the taxpayeris willing to afford. ' On future policy,Sir Keith Joseph told the Vice- hancell­ors and Principals: 'Everything i still toplay for, and the ball is in your court'.But he added: 'The case has to be madein some considerable detail, and articul­ated so that it convinces the public, theholder of my office and the Governmentas a whole.'

Sir Keith discussed several issues raisedby the Green Paper, including access tohigher education, continuing education,subject balance, science, research, quality,management, pay and resources.
