Dear Colin
I would like to reply to last
week's letter from T C Tan
concerning the Bookshop and
to clarify some other points on
this matter.
The Bookshop was set up
many years ago jointly by I C U
a n d the three C C U s . T h e
Union has a majority on the
Bookshop committee (including
the C h a i r m a n ) , the o t h e r
members being the Bookshop
Manager and two members of
staff appointed by the Rector.
All Bookshop profits go to the
Union.
The prices of the books sold
are fixed by the publishers and
c a n n o t be a l t e r e d by the
Bookshop. The price of sta
tionery is for us to determine;
I've had a number of com
plaints about this and am at
present investigating the situa
tion. I expect to see a substan
tial reduction in prices in the
near future, particularly on
paper and files.
A n y comments about the
B o o k s h o p (and part icular ly
how well it serves your depart
ment) should be given to your
Departmental Representative,
who will hand them on to me.
Yours
Malcolm Brain
Chairman, IC Bookshop C o m

Dear Colin
I must comment about the
general standard of last week's
FELIX.
Most articles were short and
to the point. The N U S Confer
ence Report by Chirs Webb
was a fine piece of journalism
and Roger Stotesbury's Hon
Sec Report yielded several bits
of useful info. Perhaps some of
last term's contributors missed
the boat for this first edition of
1980, and others had made
New Year's Resolutions!
Sadly, our friendly, neigh
bourhood Liberal correspondent
let the side down by neither
missing the c o p y date nor
changing his tune. Discussing
'New Technology', 'The Cuts'
and Liberal politics is important
if there is anything new to be
said, but 1 get a distinct feeling
of deja vu from last term's
F E L I C E S , U G M s , L i b e r a l
literature, etc. Could it be that
Mr Cole is using che pages of
FELIX for a repeated filtration
of his prototype article-letter-
s p e e c h ; and if so , are we
steadily getting a purer product
in the most concentrated form,
or just bigger and bigger lumps
of the mucky residue?
Last week's editorial took a
fresh look at entertainments at
I C . In my view this is an
important issue, and if most
students have not been show
ing much concern about the
situation of late, it is only
another indication that current
E n t s p r o g r a m m e s are not
fulfilling their potential as a
central part of College life. The
forthcoming FELIX question-
aire should give a good guide
of grass-roots opinion to the
powers that be in the Union.
The Editor's decision to drop
out of P W P is also encouraging
because it provides an opportu
nity for a new face to be
elected onto the Union Coun
cil. I feel that this democratic
exercise will have been point
less if an established hack is
elected to his second or third
post, as it would not be a step
in the direction of ensuring the
widest possible representation
of views in the making of
decisions which affect us all.
Yours
J G Murphv Mech Eng 1
Dear Colin
I see from your last editorial
that you have considered the
creation of a new Union post
(Social Secretary). The most
surprising thing to me is the
comparatively lowly status of
IC Ents with the Union. How
can Ents be compared with
S C A B Clubs such as Debating
Society and Folk Club, which
(at least at present) cater for
much more specialized groups?
H a s a n y o n e c o n s i d e r e d
making IC Ents more impor
tant and thus more directiy
• responsible to the Executive
and the Union members?

R O B E R T PRYOR M E M O R I A L L E C T U R E Last M o n d a y , the 13th of J a n u a r y , M r
A G F r a m e , the D e p u t y C h a i r m a n of
R T Z gave the R o b e r t P r y o r M e m o r i a l
L e c t u r e to the M i n i n g a n d Meta l lurg i ca l
Soc iety . S i r M a r k T u r n e r h a d originally
been invited to give the lecture , but was
unable to do so because of a n overseas
engagement.
T h e lecture 's purpose was to a c k n o w l
e d g e t h e l a te P r o f P r y o r ' s w o r k a n d
interests. H e w o r k e d for m a n y years at
R i o T i n t o , both in general management
a n d in training m a n y y o u n g people in his
discipline. T h e ski l l w i th w h i c h these m e n
a r e n o w a p p l y i n g t h e m s e l v e s i n t h e
development of this important orebody is,
said M r F r a m e , a fitting tr ibute to the
man .
T h e main themes of the lecture were
B r i t a i n ' s r o l e i n t h e w o r l d m i n e r a l
industries, a B r i t i s h mineral supply pol icy,
and the prob lems facing the w o r l d in
ensuring an adequate supply of energy in
the next century .
U K mining houses are a n important ,
although not dominat ing force o n the
w o r l d mining scene. H o w e v e r , says M r
F r a m e , we must all recognise that we live
in an increasingly nationalistic w o r l d , a n d
state intervention is a n aspect of our
mining lives w h i c h will not go away, now
will the increas ing tendency "for other
countires to have greater local part ic i
pat ion in natural resource projects .

W e s t e r n E u r o p e was then cons idered .
T h e pr ime a i m of E u r o p e a n policy s h o u l d
be to obta in adequate supplies of minerals
a n d metals at internationally competit ive
pr ices , preferably f rom secure a n d wel l
diversif ied sources .

HANG-GLIDING CLUB Vacancies exist on a weekend beginnets' course on
the 2nd and 3rd February and for 3rd and 4th day
course on the 16th and 17th of February. For further
information conatct Chris Golding (Training Officer)
at Tizard 617 or via the Mech Eng letter-rack, as
soon as possible.
There is also a meeting on Thursday 24th January
in Mech Eng 342 at 12:45pm.
ORIENTEERING I C O C had their first outing of 1980 last
Sunday to a club event at Puttenham
C o m m o n near G u i l d f o r d . T h e area
consisted of rough open and semi-open
heath with smaller areas of runnable
woodland. This combined with a well
defined path system posed few naviga
tional problems for those who competed.
On the 'A' course (9.7km), Steve Kirk
(65 mins) and Alan Parker (72 mins) did
quite well with Andrew Britton (89 mins)
not too far behind. John Weaver (69
mins) was about ten minutes behind the
winner on the 'B ' course (8.1km) whilst
on the same course Nick W~*mough
clocked a rather dubious 84 ruins. On the
shorter courses others met with mixed
success.
Trips to events are planned for most
Sundays this term which will provide
p l e n t y of p r a c t i c e for six d a y s of
championships standard orienterring in
Scotland over the easter vacation. As
ever meetings take place every Friday at
12:30pm in the Union Senior Common
Room.

A u d i e n c e P a r t i c i p a t i o n
It w o u l d be very easy for us to tel l y o u h o w w o n d e r f u l the
B B C i s - b u t we have a sneak ing susp i c i on that the k i n d of
m e n a n d w o m e n we are seeking w o u l d n ' t be satisfied w i t h
that sort of approach . So be low y o u ' l l see answers to the
questions we are most often asked.
Q : W h a t qual i f i cat ions do I need?
A : A degree in E lec t r i ca l or E l e c t r o n i c Engineer ing ,
E lec t ron i cs , A p p l i e d Phys ics o r a n y o ther re levant sc ience
subject. W e also we l come people w i t h H N C / H N D ,
C & G F u l l Tech. or T E C H i g h e r Cert i f i cates i n E lec t ron i cs
o r Te lecommunicat i ons .
Q : T h e B B C is a very large o r g a n i s a t i o n - w h e r e w o u l d
I fit in ?
A : O u r Engineers w o r k i n a w i d e var ie ty o f d isc ip l ines
i n c l u d i n g digital techniques, m i c r o - c i r c u i t r y , a u t o m a t i o n ,
data processing a n d transmiss ion , h igh -qua l i ty
q u a d r a p h o n i c , stereo a n d m o n o s o u n d reproduc t i on .
A s you can see, the scope for d e v e l o p m e n t - b o t h yours and
o u r s - i s l imitless.
Q : So presumably you ' l l be able to give me fu l l t ra in ing?
A : O u r engineering ins t ruc t i on is the best in the w o r l d ,
either i n or out of the broadcast ing business. A n y Eng ineer
w i t h B B C tra in ing can count h i m or herself f i rmly a m o n g
the engineering elite. Prospects w i t h i n the B B C are, as you
might expect, outs tanding - today ' s recrui ts are tomorrow 's
experts.
Q : If I jo ined the B B C where w o u l d I be based?
A : Y o u c o u l d be located anywhere i n the U K , i n posts
ranging f rom Research to O p e r a t i o n a l E n g i n e e r i n g - t h e l ong
a r m of the B B C extends a lot further than B r o a d c a s t i n g
House .
Q : W h a t about pay and benefits?
A : T h e s imple answer is, the right people get the right money.
Salaries in 1979 for Engineers started at a r o u n d £5,170 in
L o n d o n or £4,720 elsewhere a n d most recruits earned a
great deal more by way of shift a l l o w a n c e a n d overt ime.
G r a d u a t e trainees received at least £5,745. These salaries
w i l l be reviewed i n A p r i l 1980.
Q : H o w do I app ly?
A : C h e c k w i t h y o u r Careers A d v i s e r to see whether we are

MODEL AIRCRAFT DISCOVERED ON MARS
At the e n d of last year the aero-
modelling world heaved a huge sigh of
relief as I C M A C was ripped apart by
the departure of its strong third year
contingent into the big wide world.
T h e y all thought that they were safe
b u t t h e y w e r e w r o n g ; t h i s m o s t
indescribable of institutions has been
r e v i v e d by the inf lux of first y e a r

A statement by the club secretary:
While it is true that our membership
has increased recently it must be said
that efforts have been made to reduce
this subterranean" carnage.
Nick Green broke the club's power
trainer in half very neatly and the
depth of penetration into the ground
was minimal.
Praise also goes to John Stannard
who made use of a convenient black
hole at Richmond park to fly his
Corona into a parallel universe where
it remains to this day.
It can be seen that the current trend
is towards responsible flying although
there is always trouble with inexperi
enced or irresponsible, for example
the brutal attack by Trefor Ellis on a
worm using Grain 's Ipomoea and the
introduction by G r a e m e Dunbar of a
fiendish 36" wing span slope-soarer
c a p a b l e of p i n - p o i n t h i g h s p e e d
attacks on anything or anybody with
the advantage that it remains intact to
kill again.
I feel that I should not be too hard
on these cads (my flying being what it
is) and have given them a chance to
explain their behaviour.
Trefor: / thought it was a snake.
G r a e m e : It fits in a carrier bag.
A s for my excuse: Well, it's good
fun, innit?
If you have actually read all of this
drivel ( I C M A C members may stop now
a n d r e t u r n to t h e i r t o m b s ) t h e n
chances are that you will wish to know
more. Is there more? L O T S ! S o come

That's one good point, and to cap that are the things we actually do.

These dossers prove that the streets of London are not paved with gold but rather that it is easier to walk on the sleeping bodies of these rather pleasant but a little unloved chaps and femmes. They are tons of fun and for those of you who smile, we have some g o o d c o m p a n y prepared in these people . Falmouth kitchens 10:30pm.
For those of you also who hate footy on Wednesday afternoons we have a few kids who need tutorinq on 'O' level subjects in Pimlico and we can get you in touch with Dr Goodlad who organises it. All travelling expenses are refunded and you don't even need a passport!
Two examples of good things you can do. Now
make yourself the third example of good by visiting us any Monday at 12:30pm in the ICCAG Room, third floor of the Union Building.
Still time to go to the Holly St Adventure Playground. Transport available from Beit Arch at 10:30am on Saturday.

Do you want your grant to go further? Do you want cheaper food? Would like a healthier diet? Would you like Mr Mooney to provide better food in the canteens? Do you know what goes on in factory farms? Are you against some kinds of meat for religious reasons? Are you vegetarian or vegan? Or, do you just want a more varied diet?
If your answer to any of these questions is yes, then we have good news for you: there is now a Vegetarian Society. You don't have to be a vegetarian to join — anyone is welcome. Don't worry, we won't eat you! The next meeting is on Monday 28th January at 12:45pm in the Green Committee Room (top floor Union Building, next to Welfare). If you have any questions to ask about vegetarianism, you will find plenty of answers there.
For more information, contact anyone on the committee: Chairman: Dinesh Singh (Maths PG) Secretary: Tom Empson (Physics PG) Treasurer: Vinod Dhanak (Physics PG) Publicity Officer: Fiona Sinclair (Maths Ordinary Members: Kirsten Pratt (Maths 2) and Mark Nathan (EE3).

Mr Mooney has promised us that, for the first time since 1950, for one week this term in the Sherfield Refectory, he will attempt to raise the quality of his cooking to more nutritious and palatable standards (ie serve better food). If this is a success, he may go on to make more improvements, so it is important that everyone eats this food — whatever he produces, even if you don't like it — or he may wait another 30 years before he tries again.
This is the chance of a lifetime, so make the most of it!

R U G B Y S T M A R Y ' S C O L L E G E vs IC 1st
X V : 4-14
A s the t e a m t r a v e l l e d d o w n to
Twickenham, we all had hopes for a
good start to the second half of the
season.
* From the kick-off, it was clear that
the St Mary's pack were going to be
quite a h a n d f u l , but d u e to s o m e
determined and spirited teamwork, our
p a c k w e r e a b l e to c o n t a i n t h e m ,
adequately.
Although under constant pressure,
the IC forwards were able to supply
novice s c r u m - h a l f / c a p t E d d i e (me!)
with some excellent ball. This was in
turn put to good use by our stand-in
stand-off, Tony Morgan. With some
useful kicking and positive running by
the backs, we were able to put our
opposition under a lot of pressure.
From a scrum on St Mary's 25, I was
able to break blind and slip an inside
ball for (young man?) Ray Parkinson
to score. After this St Mary's began to
p l a y a l i t t le m o r e , but w e r e w e l l
contained by a sound IC defence.
Our second try was a copy book try;
the ball was smartly fed along the 3's,
with full-back, Nick Morton, making an
extra man, to Ray, who "opened his
legs" to score under the posts.
T h e s e c o n d half was a t o u g h e r
battle and we were made to produce
some of the most determined play,
seen for a long time, to retain our
slender lead. The killer punch came
late o n , w h e n A n d y L o r a w z inter
c e p t e d a pass a n d s p r i n t e d thirty
y a r d s to s c o r e a well d e s e r v e d , if
somewhat fortunate try.
All in all, it was a very worthwhile
performance from the whole team and
made the game very enjoyable.
C C U H O C K E Y
In a thrilling match, the result of
which was however, never in doubt,
R C S showed their opponents how to
win, with a determined performance.
For the first twenty minutes, the match
was fairly evenly balanced, with R C S
first h a v i n g the e d g e . T h e b r e a k
through came after 22 minutes, when
'guest' player Chris Riley scored his
first goal. Paul Farrington soon added
a second and Chris Riley made it
three just before the interval after one
of his many penetrating runs.
The second half saw R C S slacken
somewhat, conceding one goal soon
after the break, scoring one them
selves almost immediately, but then
slipping to a narrow 4-3 lead. H o w
ever the result was put beyond doubt
by surprise choice left-winger Keith
Schrod . A sixth goal was added by
R o b y n ' s o r r y I've lost t h e s h i r t s '
Morgan.
R C S c a p t a i n R i c k A r c h e r s a i d
afterwards: "I am pleased to see that
the intensive training that my players
went t h r o u g h o v e r t h e C h r i s t m a s
holdiay has paid off. I bet that the
Miners are as sick as parrots."
The Mines team were later said to
be " as sick as parrots'.
LADIES' HOCKEY IC L A D I E S vs K I N G S C O L L E G E H O S P :
4-3
Last Saturday IC Ladies attempted to
go out to Harlington by mini-bus.
Thanks must go to Pat Dunleavy for
getting out of bed to try to start the mini
bus. However, all his efforts failed and
we resorted to L o n d o n Transport and
eventually arrived half an hour late.
T h e pitch was very hard and
conditions throughout the game were
not ideal. Both teams had to concentrate
on accurate short passes.
It was Imperial who adopted their
game most successfully and took the
lead early on when a shot from Fay H o o d
took a deflection off a Kings' stick and
landed in the back of the net.
Imperial continued to dominate the
play but Kings looked dangerous on the
break and it was thanks to some solid
tackling from Cathy Crossley that they
were unable to score in the first half. At
half-time the home team were 2-0 up
with Fay H o o d adding to her earlier goal
when she picked up a superbly timed
pass from Hilary Carter.
Early in the second-half Kings came
back to 2-1, but Imperial continued to
apply pressure. We were awarded a
penelty flick when the Kings' goaly
deliberately obstructed on the goal line.
Shirley Course made the flick count.
Kings began to make more penetrating
moves especially up the right-wing but
found the IC defence too solid. A n d
again pulled back to a one goal margin.
T h e fourth Imperial goal was scored
by Carol Thomas , but Imperial began to
flag in the dosing minutes of the game
and Kings scored the final goal, again
from a break by the right-wing.
The team was: Averil Horton, Alex
Burnip, Cathy Crossley, Clare Davy,
Shirley Course , Julia Towns (Capt),
Alison OVersby, Hilary Carter, Fay
Hood ; Mary Harrington and Carol
Thomas .
Hay Food
FOOTBALL O n Saturday, the seconds returned
to Harlington's pastures green and
became the first side to take a point
from U C this season. Playing with
n u m e r o u s s e a s o n a l h a n d i c a p s of
haircuts, new boots and surfeits of
turkey. The side fought hard to record
a fine moral victory and maintain this
s e a s o n ' s u n b e a t e n r e c o r d a g a i n s t
other U L College and Hospital opposi
tion.
University College kicked off and
immediately resorted to their iniqui
tous tactics. They played the ball to
their midfield men, deliberately forcing
Phil Niccols to tackle and thus muddy
his new boots. If this wasn't enough to
boi l the b l o o d of any h o n o u r a b l e
s p o r t s m a n , t h e U C w i n g e r t h e n
blatantly centred the ball, compelling
D e c M c G u c k i n to h e a d c l e a r , a n d
ruffle his beautifully groomed coifure.
For a while IC withstood this intimi-
datory assault, but the defence was
finally pierced by a loopy header.
Rewarded by their initial bouts of
provocation, U C proceeded with this
style of play, but added a second
dimension, speed, to their repertoire.
T h e true sportsman of IC defence,
H O C K E Y I C 3 r d s m a n a g e d t o d o w h a t
Leicester City had failed to do: beat
Harlow on their own ground. However,
after having realised that they were
not playing the Harlow team, IC 3rds
produced some exciting pressure play
in the first ten minutes. T h e Harlow
defence was severely stretched, partly
due to them playing a 'kicking back'
rather than a goalkeeper and partly
due to the speed of the IC attacks.
T h e H a r l o w d e f e n c e h a d to g i v e
eventually and it was centre forward
Mark Talbot who put his name on the
s c o r e s h e e t f i rs t . T h a t the H a r l o w
defence was lacking in both conf i
dence and coordination was shown
when left-winger Robyn Morgan was
left completely unmarked to score the
second goal from a right-wing cross.
Their vunerability to the crossed ball
was emphasised once more w K , . . a
cross from the left-wing found the
r i g h t - w i n g e r D a n i e l B e n h a m in a
s i m i l a r s i t u a t i o n . T h i s m a d e t h e
interval score 3-0 to IC.
In the s e c o n d half however , the
p ic ture was very dif ferent . T h e IC
defence was put to the test and found
to be lacking in match practice as a
unit and it was only due to several
incredible scores and a few stupen
dous (!) saves from goalkeeper David
Moynham that IC were able to keep a
clean sheet. Up front, the forwards
had less success due to the fact that
Harlow were playing a highly effective
but hyper-negative offside game (is
this why they had no supporters?)
which suggested that a goal would
o n l y c o m e f r o m a b r e a k . D a n i e l
Benham, with the speed of a lame
carthorse on its way to the knackers'
y a r d , ran forty y a r d s to s c o r e his
s e c o n d and IC's fourth g o a l , five
m i n u t e s from t ime . IC had a g o a l
disallowed for offside, but the final
score, in a highly competitive match
was four goals to nil.
who had enjoyed a gluttonous festive
season, realised the opposition were

ponded with their own special branch
of f o o t b a l l . U C s c o r e d f r o m t h e
resulting penalty-kick.
A hal f - t ime p e p - t a l k on the true
ethics of the game put fire in the
b e l l i e s of t h e t e a m . F r o m t h e n
onwards the game became virtually
one-way traffic towards the U C goal .
IC h a d s o m u c h p o s s e s s i o n t h e y
s h o u l d have been re ferred to the
Monopolies Commiss ion ! A Jim Beer
overlap forced a corner. As the ball
came over the U C centre-half could
only bury his elbow in Niccols ' gut to
p r e v e n t a c e r t a i n g o a l . N i c c o l s
converted the penalty. Another run put
T o m Hanke through to score, ony to
be ruled offside. Minutes later, Hanke
grabbed the equaliser with a glorious
swirling shot. U C ' s final token attack
was smothered with ease, and only the
full-time whistle prevented further IC
goals.
The team was: S Veats, J Beer, D

The Imperial College Rugby 1sts walked away from Hartington with a good win at the e x p e n s e of H A C R F C . A t r y by J o h n chandler, converted by Eddie Budgen together with a penalty from Pat Dunleavy took the scorefine to 9—3 by full time.
The 2nds did even better beating Queen Elizabeth College 11 points to 3. Fran O'Toole opened the scoring in the first half with an unconverted try. Nick Morion added a second with a penalty in the second half.
The soccer news was not so good: the 1sts went down 5—0 to Kings College Hospital, while the 6ths lasts 7—2 to the same college. The 2nds did slightly better drawing 2—2 against University College 2nds, with Phil Niccols and Tom Hanke scoring the goals. The IC 3rds lost 3—2 to University College, Andy Hartland scoring both the -goals here. O n a happier note, the 5ths beat U C 4ths by default after they failed to show.
Finally, hockey and IC's 1sts won 2—0, beating Harlow with goals from Tony Debarr and Graham Forbes on Saturday. The 3rds w o n a s w e l l b e a t i n g H a r l o w t w i c e as effectively. Goats from Daniel Ben ham, Robin Morgan and two from Mark Talbot took the score-line to 4—0.
W E D N E S D A Y
The first rugger team cont inued with
S a t u r d a y ' s f orm beating Kings Co l l ege at
Hariington on Wednesday. A first half try by
John Chandler, converted by Eddie Budgen
was all that was needed leaving the final score
6—3.
The only other rugby on Wednesday since
the seconds match was cancelled was the
R S M matches against S u r r e y . ' T h e 1sts did
well beating Surrey Ists 12—0. After no score
at half time, due in part to the fact that they
were playing uphill. Vision Tucker and Bat
Walmsey both scored trys and both were
converted by Maynard McMaynard.
The R S M 2nds also walked away from
Surrey with a win beating Surrey 2nds 7—6,
thanks to a try from Russ Clark and a penalty
from Jeremy Taylor. The R S M 3rds didn't do
'quite as well losiong 14—0 to Surrey 3rds.
O n to soccer again now and the news that
must dominate must be the 4ths win over
Goldsmith's 3rds. They won 7—1 despite a
scoreline of 1—1 just 25 minutes from the end,
this due to a goal from Steve Simms. Two
goals from Paul Garvin and Richard Dolan
within a minute plua four from Tom Hanke
buied Goldsmiths. The scoreline is all the more
remarkable because their goalkeeper was
transferred to the 3rds for the afternoon and
the captain, Dave Brennan had to take his
place.
The 2nds also had a good win at the
expense of the London School of Economics.
Two goals from Dick Veen man and anther two
from Dave McPhail took the score to 4—0 by
half time. L S E fought well during the second
half but still had to be content with a scoreline
of 4—1.
The 3rds lost 3—2 to Goldsmiths 2nds
away. Goals from Ian Stevenson in the first
half and from Andy Hartland in the 2nd made
the score look respectable.
There was also good news from the 5ths
who beat L S E 3rds 2—0. A goal from John
Healy in the first half and another from Nick
Matthews in the 2nd completed a fairly good
day for IC soccer.
The good news continues with the cross
country results. E Cameron came in first in
Wednesday's friendly at Petersham with a time
of 27 minutes~49 seconds, 9 seconds ahead of
D Feteenstein from U C . M Pickard and S Kirk
both from IC came in 3rd and 4th respectively
under a minute later.

a n exhib i t ion to further the information
a v a i l a b l e t o C o l l e g e s t u d e n t s o n the

. . . .that the Israel Ph i lharmoni c O r c h e s t r a
ranks a m o n g the best in the wor ld .
. . . .that Israel is no bigger than W ales .
. . . .that inflation in Israel is over 100%
.. . .that Israeli girls do . . . .army service !
. . . .that I S R A E L is! !
D u r i n g the four-day act ivity , we will be
two films, hearing the c h a i r m a n of the
Zionist Federa t i on talk on k ibbutz life,
jo ining in Israeli danc ing a n d eating Israeli
food!
W e hope to see m a n y of y o u at these
