After a summer of being
stabbed in the back, stu-
dents across the country
ed round and confronted their
cker last Saturday. Forty-thou-
students in fourteen towns and
s from across the UK showed
govenrnment the full force of
opposition to the introduction of
on fees.
thousand people gathered in
dons Hyde Park for the route

large police presence was obvi-
but the well organised event
passed wihtout incident. Although
the marchers were noisy, deter-
mined to make their voices heard,
they were generally good natured.
Tourists lined the route to watch the
sea of red and white placards flow
past.
At the end of the hour long march
the demonstrators gathered at thefoot of Nelsons Column to hear
several speakers address the crowd.
Among these were Labours Dianne
Abbott MP and Simon Hughes MP
of the Liberal Democrats.
Abbott spoke out against the gov-
erenment in which she serves and
described how her own university
education would not have been pos-
sible without government funding.
Simon Hughes gave the most rous-
ing speech of the day. He urged the
crowd to continue the protest
against the governments proposals,
and not allow it to rest with this
show of disapproval against theprice being placed on a university
education.

through the streets of
Southampton and attended a rally
where opposition MPs spoke
against the proposals and declared
that they would fight the Bill at
every stage. A Labour MP who was
due to speak pulled out minutes
after the march had begun.
Saturday shoppers in Southampton
were astonished to witness the
strength of emotion amongst stu-
dents as they chanted Oi! Blair!
Fees arent fair! This was especial-
ly poignant, considering that those
students marching will not them-
selves be affected by the fees.
Unlike the present government,
they have first
hand experience
of the financial
h a r d s h i p
imposed by the Student Loan sys-
tem.
Cat Myers, a speaker from the
National Union of Students, told the
Southampton rally that Saturday
was not the end of the campaign,
but the start of a time-bomb for the
government. She said that students
would not forget the hypocrisy of a
party which had relied on the stu-
dent vote, only to ignore their plight
now.
The overwhelming feeling amongst
protesters was that the fight is not
over.

ned by a Surrey student and the
er two were not directly con-
ted with the University. A

nk between this incident and a
mber of car break-ins in the
Council car park,
the other side of
Yorkies Bridge on
the same night.
Security were surprised about thishit especially as the University has
extensive video surveillance.
Overnight these cameras tend to
focus on the residences to ensure
the safety of the students. Whilst it
is hoped by security that this is a
one-off it is still a worry for all the
people who use the university car
parks, particularly overnight.

third student has died from
meningitis at Southampton
University on Sunday,resulting in a widespread vaccina-
tion programme covering as many
as four thousand people.
The first death occurred on the 11th
October, and all who have died so
far were first years. There have
been six identified cases of menin-
gitis within Southampton
University. On the advice of the
local health authority, an antibiotics
and immunisation programme, cur-
rently offered to all Southampton-
based first-year undergrads at
Southampton and all those living in
University halls of residence or
working in those halls, but due to
widespread concern the University
is now offering the programme to
all other students and staff of the
University. The Universitys Vice-
Chancellor, Professor Newby said
that the whole University is
shocked.. Our main concerns now
are for our students and staff.
At present the only way to prevent
an outbreak here at Surrey is vigi-
lance. Please look out for yourself
and the other people you live with.
Meningitis is an acute condition and
swift action has to be taken if a full
recovery is to be achieved.
Meningitis kills in a matter of hours.
Meningitis: Look out for
your mateKnowing the signs of meningitis
can help you and your friends get
help as soon as possible. The key
things to look out for are:
n Fever/Vomiting
n Drowsiness
n Confusion
n A severe headache
n Stiff neck and/or back pains
n Dislike of bright lights
n A rash which will not disappear when a cold glass is pressed
against it
If you notice these symptons then
see your doctor immediately, or

Ports and motorways were
blocked in France by lorry
drivers on Monday as part of
a national campaign. They have
barricaded many of the major roadsto prevent other lorries getting to
their destinations, all due to a dis-
pute over pay rises and working
hours.
The truckers disrupted roads last
year over the same demands, caus-
ing millions of pounds of lost rev-
enue to companies in this countryand abroad. Although they owe
compensation to British companies,
little has been paid.
This year the French Drivers are
asking again for a pay rise, reject-
ing the French Governments 5%
offer. The blockades seem unlike-
ly to cause as much disruption as
last year with many drivers getting
through. Oasis, however, havealready had to cancel their 3 Paris
gigs as their equipment was
stopped at the barriers, and Phil
Collins has also cancelled his
shows.

Letters/Editorial Friday 7th November 1997 n
LettersShooting at cars
Dear Editor,Driving home in the early hours of
an icy Thursday morning my car
was fired at with paintballs as I left
the university grounds. I realise that
this was a prank by a couple of
idiots with nothing better to do thanhide in the bushes on a freezing cold
night, firing blobs of paint at pass-
ing cars. However, had this hap-
pened to someone else it could have
distracted them from their driving
or frightened a lone driver.
On an icy night such as this the con-
sequences of these distractions are
potentially dangerous. Should these
juveniles move their sights to
motorcyclists or other, more vulner-
able, road users the consequences
could be far more serious. My only
request to these people is: play your
war games in a damp field, dont
play with the traffic.
Regards,
Stuart Parker.
Whats in a course.
Dear Editor,In response to What do dancersdo, it is not surprising to learn thatthey write essays, as most studentsdo have to at some point! Statingthis fact does not strengthen hercase to be accepted. As a sociologist(constantly writing essays) I wasamused by the fact that my subjectwas used to legitimise Dance and
Cultures status as an academic
subject. as strangely enough, we too
have a dubious rating in the eyes of
the more hard scientific students
of Surrey, but that letter inadvertent-
ly boosted our standings perhaps
the author might renew her socio-logical studies with a shift in focus
to The Frankfurt School theorists it
may alter her attitude somewhat.
There are there are a lot of stereo-
typical perceptions of most subjects
of the Human Faculty, (and of oth-
ers) but it always more prudent to
ignore these views or to use them to
strengthen ones resolve. There is
no point in becoming insecure or
paranoid, which the letter did hint
at. Every subject has its merit,
Dance may be aesthetically enrich-
ing, sociology my mould policy
decisions and science may produce
improvements in medical or techno-
logical techniques. Each has a part
to play, perhaps next time the authorfeels she has to verbalise a justifica-
tion of her subject she should intro-
duce a little Durkheim (revise that
social theory!) into conversation.
She shouldnt really waste her time
bothering with people who are obvi-
ously enjoying winding her up.
Oh yes - and for the record not all
Sociologists are Marxist feminists -
but some of us do wear lycra...

Wheres the crossword?
Dear Editor,I write with disappointment in lastFridays bare facts. Myself andtwo final year Tonmeister studentshave, in recent weeks, developed aregular social event. After ademanding lecture on Friday morn-
ing, we visit my KUB, and drink a
pot of Kenyan coffee while com-
pleting the bare Facts crossword.
However, despite desperately
searching through last weeks edi-
tion, there was no crossword to be
found. we had to resort to the previ-
ous Sunday Time crossword, kindly
donated by my Guildford Court
neighbour.
Please could you make the cross-
word a weekly feature of bare
facts, in order to provide hard
working final years with an enter-
tainment and challenging Friday
morning.

WhatYour Union isDoing to Try and MakeThings Better For
Students
Cuppa Tea?
Dear EditorI would like to echo the commentsof Karen Swales and James Bullerfrom the last few editions of BareFacts about the excessive behav-iour on the dancefloor of some stu-dents at the Friday Night Out. I too
believe that more often than not, the
Union is a dangerous place to be
during a disco or band. If action is
not taken soon, then someone could
get hurt badly during these events. I
believe that most of this boisterousbehaviour can be attributed to alco-
hol, and that it is time the Union
took a more responsible attitude
towards its sale. If you approach
any of the bars in the union, you are
instantly barraged with wide choice
of alcoholic drinks, with little or no
emphasis on soft drinks. There are
many good quality low alcohol and
no alcohol beers available, why
does the Union not sell them as vig-
orously as it does Fosters or
Kronenbourg? Why is there no tea
or coffee available during a disco?
The bars, however, are not the sole
culprits in my eyes. It would seem
that all the DJs who play in the
Union, are given a remit to make
people jump about as much as pos-sible - hence creating the problems
that we have. I would suggest that if
the situation was such that the
crowd were getting over-enthusi-
astic then why not turn the music
off for five minutes? everybody
could then calm down. Why not
intersperse chart music with some
light classics - say for ten minutes
in every hour. The volume of the
music is also excessive, why do we
need all these speakers? Would a
simple hi-fi not suffice?
I would strongly suggest that Union
management take heed of these
comments, and those of the previ-
ous weeks - before somebody gets
hurt.

Tuition fees -fighting talk orthe last gasp?Its difficult to tell whether theLabour government will take anynotice of the fees demonstrationsthat took place around the countrylast weekend. Certainly studentlobby groups seem keen to carryon fighting fees to the bitter end,but another issue is becoming moreimportant by the day. There is stillno clear policy on how much of themoney collected from fees will go
to Universities. Campaigners mayfeel passionately about the survival
of free education, but there is a real
danger that the murky question of
how the money will be spent,
might be forgotten.

es remember the Student
Represntative Council con-troversy, well its been sort-
ed out. What used to be known as
the General Meeting of the
Students Union is now officially
the Student Council. All Union
officers, course reps and a represen-
tative from each sports club and
Union society must attend.
Everyone else, who dont hold any
of these positions, will also be wel-
come as it meeting is for a ll students
to come along and find out whats
going on in their Union, raise any
questions and suggest any ideas.
The meeting is to be held on
Thursday Week 10 at 6pm in LTD, it
will only last an hour (ish) and you
can find out what the plans are forthe rest of this semster and the sec-
ond semester. Remember that one
person can represent only one activ-
ity and to bring your friends or other
members of the society or club.
Youll never know what you might
find out - theres been some interets-
ing stuff going on in the Union late-
ly. Oh and lots more free stuff to
give away again including vouchers,
t-shirts and maybe even a free
SHAG. See you there.

ar Russyou think its worth doing astgraduate degree?ar Johngoing to throw the ball back into your court and askyou think its worth it? In other words, why has ite into your mind in the first place? For example,may be attracted by the prospect of remaining a stu-. Or maybe you think it would give you a breath-
space before deciding what career to follow.
haps youre thinking it might improve your employ-
t prospects, or, that you ought to stay on simply
ause, after all, doesnt everyone stay on who gets a
d degree?!
y you can answer some of these questions. What I
try to do is to give you some idea of the implica-
s for your career if you take certain courses of
on. The first piece of advice I can give you is to
k about what career youd like to follow and then
k backwards. For some careers its helpful to have
stgraduate qualification, for others its not.
example, if you see yourself in a long term research
er, then a PhD is a tremendous asset since it con-
s your ability to carry out effective research. It also
ns you can compete more effectively with col-
ues when promotion opportunities come up.
On the other hand, you may be considering a career
which requires more specialised knowledge than your
first degree provided. Masters courses are tailor-madeto meet these demands with virtually every subject from
actuarial work to zoology covered in one course or
another.
It cant be denied that having a postgraduate degree
does improve your employment prospects. Only 4% of
UK postgrads were unemployed in 1996 compared to
7% of undergraduates. Mind you its still possible to go
down a path which makes things worse for you. I shall
never forget a PhD entomologist I once interviewed
who was totally dedicated to finding a job working with
butterflies. Hed already been looking for 18 months
when I first met him. Who knows, maybe he made it.
But theres a lesson to be learned there for anyone con-
sidering postgraduate study - think about where it might
lead you. A lot of people drift into further degrees with-
out a clue whats at the end of it. That can be an expen-
sive mistake if you have to finance it yourself.
My final bit of advice is this. Most directors of post-
graduate courses know how successful their previous
students have been in obtaining employment. Why not
ask them for this information before you commit your-
self. If they are reluctant to tell you, perhaps its
because many of their former students are still jobhunt-
ing.

6/12
THE VAN PELT - Sultans ofSentiment (Gern Blandsten)This CD is becoming one of myfavorite demos. Everything in this bandis amazing, the bass, guitars, voice,distortion, and most of all the lyrics.There was something special abouttheir music. It was simple in both tex-ture and structure, yet it was amazinglyvivid, creating images from their lyricslike no one Id seen before. Most songsfollow a talkative format, whichreminds me of the divine Bob Dylan. Ipersonally like Nanzen Kills A Cat, ithas a warm and fuzzy acoustic beat.This album is an admirable, challeng-ing and most probably will be clich-free indie triumph! 9/10 D.A.
V/A - Total Science (Mecca)This is a tripped out drumnbass selec-tion by Darren Jay that tantilises theears and plays with the mind. This isone of the first albums of its type that Ihave heard that isnt mixed in. This isno great downfall, though, as there aresome amazing tunes by Dr.S.Gachet,Ellis Dee and E-Z Rollers, amongstothers. This is not your upfront danceyour bollocks off drumnbass, but atremendous journey through the intelli-
gent sounds of D&B. Filled withrolling bass-lines and warped samplesalongside deep, twisting tracks, this iscertainly a must for all theL.T.J.Bukem, Adam F or Roni Sizefans (all of which featured on the pre-vious volume), as the intelligent soundsare now really beginning to make theirmark on the scene. Those that preferthe more upfront D & B should buythis for the after club vibe, to chill to.Im not a great D & B fan, but this iscertainly a welcome addition to mycollection, and will be in my CD playerfor a while to come yet. 8/10 M.B.
V/A - The Hits Hurt (Domino)A cool mix of twisted bands rangingfrom the blood rockin Sebadoh to thesoft-grunge Pastels that will definitely
turn you autistic! This album has themost successful blend of crashpop, teenfreedom rock and ghost riders bake apie rock n roll that has ever graced ahi-fi. Psychic Driving by FlyingSaucer Attack is a mesmerising word-less blur. The pleasant surprise for me,are Pavements angular and twitchyBlue Hawaiian. Smogs I was aStranger, his rhapsody about goinginto a strange town, is my favouritesong and Silver Jews sparklingly syn-thetic chamber-pop trifle Black andBrown Blues. If youre feelinganguished, raged, gloom, whatever,then this CD is for you. 8/10 G.C.
V/A - Blow Up (Blow Up)Everyone turned their nose up at thisCD in the Barefacts office sorryfolks, but you missed out on one hellof an album here. Did you enjoy thePulp Fiction soundtrack? Yes? You willsimply love this! Ranging from warm
mellow tune like the Butthole Surfersefforts, to cool jazz, to hectic dancerhythms: Zeds dead baby! This CD isstunning... boogie on everybody! 8/10G.C.
ECHOBELLY - Lustra (Sony)
After doing great things (sic) at theheight of the britpop craze Echobellyreturn with a more epic, thoughtful,album. Lustra has more in commonwith their debut album, E.G.O, thanthe more pop, On. This is no badthing as songs like, Bulldog Baby,are crying out to be indie anthems.There is, unfortunately, a bit of anOasis influence poking through onsome tracks. However, just as youthink its all going a bit Noelrocktracks like, The World Is Flat, pullyou back into the world of Echobellyindiepop. Echobellys third album seesthe band experimenting with a broadrange of styles not usually associatedwith them, making this both diverseand enjoyable. 8/10 A.T.
RECOIL - Unsound Methods (Mute)After leaving Depeche Mode due tounsatisfactory internal working condi-tions, keyboardist/drummer AlanWilder has been able to devote all hiscreative energies to UnsoundMethods the first fully fledgedRecoil LP. He pieced together ninehaunting and sultry tracks that will takeyou to the edge of unease, throughdark, dub infected landscapes, rever-berating with shivering piano, seduc-tive strings and a deep electronic pulsethat will surely make you sleep withthe lights on! Guest vocalist, DouglasMcCarthy, the former Nitzer Ebbsinger, opens the album with Incubus,whose mood was inspired by FrancisFord Coppolas film ApocalypseNow, and includes a few lines of dia-
logue from it. I dislike the rest of thetracks, myself but inclined to give AlanWilder the benefit of the doubt. He has
stood hisground, proudlywaving the tat-tered flag ofelectronic musicthrough adecade of hip-hop and theSeattle invasion.7/10 D.A.
MOBY - I LikeTo Score(Mute)This combina-tion of Mobysbest film music,
old and new, isalso a combina-tion of his vari-ous styles ofmusic.Including hisearly influencesof acid house tohis controver-sial punk rock
style. With tracks like Oil 1 and theJames Bond Theme which just shoutat you, to tracks like New DawnFades which whispers quietly to you.The thing about I Like To Score, isthat it is not the greatest soundtrack
hits, it is a Moby album nothing more,nothing less. Moby reckons that hedoesnt really go to see movies thatoften, or listens to film music whichshows in this compilation. This albumshould catch the tastes of all the dancefreaks, as well as some outsiders who
just want something to mellow out to.7/10 K.M.
ER FURRY ANIMALS - Demonation)

p the cold winter mornings. It is almosthadowed by b-side Carry The Canh is a gentle ode to something or other.really are furry. 9/10 D.J.

cover of this single wasnt very excit-ut the music on it is gorgeous in ady and dark kind of way. This is quali-dont want to turn it off! 8/10 G.T.
RTHERN UPROAR - Goodbyevenly)
of a heartwrenching epic, completestrings, brass, twangy guitars and har-es in the key of ahhhh. Everything we
has gone ... so goodbye sings Leon asls your bedroom with acquiescent
t and melts you into autumn.eous. 8/10 H.B.
WN OF THE REPLICANTS - RhinoE.P. (EastWest)t communicating with the radar in your, says Paul Vickers, lead singer of this
futuristic guitar group. The four tracks allfeature buzzes and odd effects. Their styleis similar to other straight guitar bands butwith a little extra, oomph! 8/10 A.T
THEAUDIENCE - I Got The
Wherewithal (Elleffe)Janet Elliss daughter fronts this band,where the Sundays meet The BeautifulSouth. Good songs and good arrangements,interesting and promising. 7/10 R.W.
LUSCIOUS JACKSON - Under Your
Skin (Grand Royal)An uninspiring piece of guitar driven pop. Itis quite unremarkable. Two of the remixes
are not bad but the Bentley Rhythm AceMix is a let down. 6/10 I.P.
LAMBCHOP - Your Sucking Funny Day(City Slang)An brilliant single with the vibe to start aparty anywhere. The group renown for itslaconic style has finally created a numberthat has the potential to bring them those
huge earnings othersenjoy. The track isboth funky and jazzyand is summed up bythe line : Its so sim-ple yet so stupidbut steady.. 6/10C.H.
WAY OUT WEST -Ajare
(Deconstruction)A dance classic witha night club flavour.This commercial tunemakes use of vocalswhich provide anupbeat, uplifting vibeto the saucy rhythmsof the single. Sadlylike most dance tunesthe entire sequence ispredictable from theuplifting intro to thebreak beat sampling.However it makesyou want to boogieon down and has allthe makings of a clubhit song. 5/10 C.H.
16 HORSE POWER
- Coal Black Horses
(A&M)
The band sure put out some weird stuff.This music gives you the feeling of being in
the middle of a wilderness. The song withthe references to Hey would be very muchin with the Horses in the bands name andtitle track if they were singing Hay. 5/10G.T.
DJ RON - Quintessence EP (Parousia)Jungle.....so many types it kinda hard to cat-egorise this flavour. Most of the beats areexpected, reserved and in retrospect, dull.The Album has its moments though; listenout for Zulu March, a personal favourite. Idont see this artist topping the charts quiteyet, his music isnt a commercial swing.Something for the frustrated individual.5/10 I.U.
EARL BRUTUS - The S.A.S And TheGlam That Goes With It (Fruition)
Mildly amusing - yes. Added dance foray inthe middle - yes. Inspiring and exciting -no. Band capable of better - possibly. 4/10D.J.
SUPER 8 - Lately (Naked)A slow, moving tune that sounds like Ash,unlike Ash this sounds crap. 4/10 F.F.
VIOLET Violet (Violet)Dios mio! It all seem like one big song runtogether with no variation, or interestingtwists. It gets on my nerves. 4/10 D.A.
UNUN - I See Red (Deceptive)A sort of mixture of Republica with Blondiefrom these Icelandic hopefuls. My matethinks its quite funky but I think it sucks.4/10 A.M.
DJ Q - Landing Soon On A Planet Near
You (Go Beat)A dark and moody but ultimately dull EP ofDetroit style techno from Glaswegian PaulFlynn. Fans of him will be pleased; mostpeople will be bored. 3/10 A.M.
ALABAMA 3 - The Speed Of The SoundOf Loneliness (Elemental)Most recently covered by Nanci Griffith,The Sound Of The Speed Of Loneliness isgiven frighteningly grotchy makeover... itsnot often covers get to be as good as theoriginal. 3/10 G.C.

THE CURE- Galore -The Singles1987 - 1997(Fiction)A classiccompilationfrom thishighly suc-cessful band.This collec-tion is a realmust for any-one who isalready a fanof The Cure(as long asthey haventalready bought all the singles on the CD of course) and the CD has loads to offerpeople who arent fans. Prepare to be converted! As an extra treat, the CD alsocontains the bands latest single Wrong Number which is probably not one oftheir best and sounds a bit weird the first couple of times that you hear it. It iscatchy but not quite up to the standards of some of their classics such as FridayIm In Love when they are put on the same CD. Overall, this compilation com-mands some real respect. 9/10 G.T.
ALBUM OF THE WEEK
THE SHIRE-HORSES - TheWorst Album InThe World...Ever (EastWest)A collection oftracks from theShirehorses andtheir other incar-nations throughthe ages. Theymust be reallypissed off that somany lesser acts(Kula Shaker,Placebo, BabyBird, TheSeahorses) havetaken these trade-mark songs, com-mercialised themand gone on to the
heights of fame while the Shirehorses have remained in a pub inBolton. A work of genius... in their own minds. 9/10 R.W.
LABRADFORD - Mi Media Naranja(Blast First)
With this their fourth album, the trio fromVirginia have once again broadened theirhorizons and varied their sound while at thesame time maintaining their distinct identity.Mi Media Naranja (my other half) is themost cinematic of their recordings to date..very soothing. 7/10 G.C.DJ Q - Face The Music (Fitter)
Fusing mainstream dance with a little trance,DJ Q has produced a reasonable cross-overpiece of work. Hip-hop rhythms and funkybass lines make the tunes on this suitable forany serious clubbers collection. 7/10 G.C.ELCKA - Rubbernecking (Island)For a debut album, this isnt bad. These new-comers are a group to watch; they havereceived good reviews, especially from themusic magazines. Supercharged is a bril-liant opening track one the album. A groupto watch - theyll be a big mainstream Indiegroup. 7/10 G.D.NIGEL BENN/ DJ RIDE - UK SpeedGarage Vol 1 (Powerhouse)
It IS the boxer! This compilation isnt whatId call representative of UK Speed Garagein general, but does contain some amazingmixes. If you havent bought a Speed Garagealbum yet, look out for this one as there aresome stunners on it. 6/10 M.B.BLINK 182 - Dude Ranch (MCA/Cargo)
This is an interesting album. The punk-like,speed drumming, and problem-teenagerlyrics mesh together into a roller-coaster rideof an album. 6/10 M.B.LOUISE -Woman In Me (EMI)A natural progression from Eternal....theresnothing really exciting in this new album.Her somewhat uplifting pop and semi-funkygrooves kinda get to work in the brain. Lovesongs and corny songs are the main ingredi-ents of this album. 6/10 I.UV/A - TRAINSPOTTING 2 (EMI)This is a true follow-up to the soundtrack; itincludes some songs which were in the filmbut not on the soundtrack, some which wereintended to be in the film and a few tracksdear to Irvine Welsh and the makers of thefilm, including Choose Life by the PFProject, built around Rentons speech in thefilm. 6/10 T.V.EMPEROR SLY - Sparking Up (Zip Dog)This gargantuan slab of dub techno is a
rather disappointing way of bringing dancemusic. If I hadnt looked at the back cover ofthis album, I might have thought that theywere playing the same song over and overagain. 5/10 D.A.SUGAR RAY - Floored (EastWest)Arriving on a wave of hype, Sugar Ray are acrossover between funk-metal and rap, andthey are not very good, at all. Only one songFly (featuring Super Cat) is any cop. 2/10R.W.
ALBUMS ROUND-UP
E BEEKEEPERS - Killer Cure (Beggars Banquet)another totally ace single from the Derby boys. Punkywith swoonsome harmonies over razor sharp guitars.e simply brilliant. 9/10 R.W.

Cinema and Arts Friday 7th November 1997 n
Splatch; a sea of band T-shirtswith kids in them who will beback in school uniform by
day. Created by local hero Barney,se name gets chanted between thes. You feel like theyre there foras much as for the music. The kidsBarney, Barney loves the kids andall love the bands. Splatch is just
ng for cynicism. Maybe if we justed at what was on-stage, four goodplaying live, then the sneers mayn, because what the kids havee to see are good musicians andare going for it. Those who sneer
robably the ones that fail to scrapether any enthusiasm when bandsat our own union. The kids (andthe majority are still at school) goand give the performers as good as they get. Honey Butcher
can always tell when there is atly goth band on the bill. Thespecting venue becomes a magnetll fifteen year olds who are, like,y unhappy and showangst by wearinglyn Manson T-shirts.sea of black T-shirtssilver nail varnishter took the stage.ter are the anti-goth!ter are guitar pop!loads of self confi-
e the band ploughedugh their half hourncouraging thed to pogo along. By
the third song thecrowd had lightened upand bounced around totheir tunes. The actualmusic was a bit bland,kind of like 3 ColoursRed but happier. Nextup were Garageland.The 4 piece belted out
their own take on dronerock. The hammeringguitar just went straightthrough you. The kidsup the front stopped
jumping up and down, cocked theirheads to one side and thought, hmmm,interesting. The third band on werethe powerfully dark female frontedFeline. The crowd rocked out to thepounding bass and distressed guitars.The highlight came with Felines debutsingle, Just As You Are, a thunderousthree minutes with the lead singerssoaring vocals riding the chaos.Andrew Thomas
The requirement of id for the barensured it never reached any sort ofcapacity; in fact it was almost like a
quiet pint down the local. Surfacing,however, from the bar to, well the firstbars of Scarfos cacophonous but utter-ly beautiful music put an end to thatidea, and showed Scarfo were not tooperturbed by their motorway accidentthat led to all other dates being can-celed. A wonderful soundtrack of indiefavourites followed to play out the restof another highly successfulSplatch/Geronimo event. Daniel Jones
Halloween and the streets ofGuildford are safe fromallthings scary because most of
ardest bikers are out of harms..and into mine. The Civic Halled host to a motly medley of bik-
nd rockers, a sea of leather and
rted with lots of dry ice and greens, and Mr. Sensible the rector inmmer horror style introducing the. The hall filled with people and itecame a little less intimidating.Damned appeared to a flourish ofn pipes, led by a vegetariansed as a cow and Mr. Fautus. The
Damned are part of rock leg-end, and as such were expectedto be self indulgent reminiscingcrap. I was let down. Therewas a feeling of everyonebeing in on the joke, with lotsof interaction between the bandand the crowd and the materialwas well received, with a sur-prising level of humour. They
gave a relaxed, but technicallytight performance, along sidethe expected altering of themonitors. Theyve had longenough to be good at this sortof thing and they looked quiteat home on the stage. Thetracks crashed through andgradually we forgot about theIce Mummies and started todance along (I was the blondetart in the red dress). I evenenjoyed myself. The set passedwith much banter and the
famed Eloise to bring a smile tothose faces that are beginning to wrin-kle after too many years of rocking.The encore was the icing sugar on thenose; groupies on the stage, thedefrocking of Mr. Sensible, the piss
takes of everything wrong with themummies and the streaker, who wasthen molested by the groupies. A littlepiece of friendly anarchy to end theevening. Maybe the start of a Damnedrevival? Jolly as Slade, gothy as theSisters and as rocky as Rocket fromthe Crypt, the record company would-nt know where to start. Punk is dead,long live the Damned. Honey Butcher

Firstly, very sorry for the lack of a film on Sunday
(5pm and 8pm). This was entirely our fault and we
beg your forgiveness - it wont happen again.
Now, the next film WILL be on this Sunday and Monday.
Its Shes the One with the delightful Cameron Diaz, and
the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston. The film is a comedy and so
will be perfect to relax to, now that essays are due in and
exams are soon. Tickets are 2, please reserve in advance,or 5 for 4 films. Entrance by back doors.
Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger,Guy Pearce, Danny DeVito
L
os Angeles - the City of Angels.
The beginning of a new age in true, wholesome,
urban bliss and all protected by the morally chal-
lenged LAPD. The squeaky clean Dragnet image of the
1950s LAPD is quite literally torn to pieces by this mas-
terful adaptation of James Ellroys 1990 novel.
Where can I begin to explain the plot without either fill-
ing the pages of this newspaper or giving the entire plot
away? Such diverse strings of the plot (which include
organised crime, a violent robbery, a corrupt Police
Department, and a pimp with his high class movie star
look alike call girls) are drawn together with the word
slick plastered all over them, through three cops
Kevin Spacey is Jack Vincennes, a celebrity cop who
profits from tip offs from the original tabloid journalist
(Danny DeVito) whilst not advising for Badge of
Honour - a true representation of 50s policing. Guy
Pearce (Mike form Neighbours) plays the ambitious Ed
Exley, newly qualified officer who is willing to do any-
thing within the law to uphold the law, yet who by theend of the film is as corrupt as the department whos
downfall he masterminds. Russel Crowe is Bud White
who if he werent a policeman would
be muscle for hire. These cops could
not be further apart at the beginning of
the movie, yet by the end they are the downfall of the
corruption that runs rife throughout the LAPD.
Everything about this film oozes class. The acting is
perfect. The unknowns amongst the cast mean that the
audience has no preconceptions and feelings change
towards them as the film progresses. Spacey and
DeVito put on their best performances in years and
Bassinger positively smoulders whilst returning to her
absolute best. And director Curtis Hanson must have
Oscar bells ringing in his ears.
This is a great, if incredibly complicated film. Miss a
minute and youll be lost: a pen and paper would be
useful to note down all the twists in the plot and the
quite violent character assassinations. This is the best
film of its genre for quite some time and definitely up
there with the years best. Jerry Maguire and The
English Patient should watch out as this film is really
gunning for their elected titles. Film of the year? A bold
claim, but possibly justified. Watch this film, thenwatch it again. It really is that good.

OFU... OFU... OFU... OFU...Shakespeare! Do you think thatits all about a dead serious tobe or not to be? Will you arewrong. The Reduced ShakespeareCompany has more than successful-ly managed to condense all ofShakespeares work into 97 minutesin a unique way.The whole performance was madeup by three fabulous - to say theleast actors, who effortlessly provedtheir multi-talented nature in count-less roles. The distinctive elementsof the show are the constant flow of energy and the interaction betweenthe actors and the audience which,many times, made it seem like astand-up comedy show. The play-writers, very successfully managedto transform Shakespeares workinto a revue, often satirising currentissues as well as popular personali-ties.I am not going to say anything moreother than that I have seldom enjoyed having been to, or rather,having taken part in such a perfor-mance.If you would like to live thisexperience for yourself, you can doso any day from Wednesday toSaturday evenings at 8pm, or onThursday (3pm), Saturday (5pm)and Sunday (4pm) matinees.(Check times with the Theatrebefore travelling).

The Swashbuckling fencing
club start the Semester with
an almighty swish of the
blade.
Our first match of the season was agood opportunity to stretch the
muscles. Our victory of 24 - 3
against Thames Valley University
mens team was quite literally a
thrashing... ouch!!
Captained by Jon, we performed
well in all three disciplines apart
from a little hic-up in Anthonys
epee who lost two fights against a
beginner who was holding his
weapon upside down! Adam made
his debut in Sabre and I fenced my
favorite weapons (foil & epe), try-
ing not to scratch my new maraging
foil.
The following day, several mem-
bers of the club went off to Charter
House; a jolly lovely private
school, close to Godalming. The
school asked if they could fence our
University club, in order to give the
youngsters (aged 13 - 17) moreexperience. Our club fielded a team
of mixed ability including our three
scholars; Debs, Gwen and Kate.
The afternoon was most pleasant
and we were invited for tea after-
wards where we sat at wooden
tables and ate sandwiches with the
crusts removed. Highly respectable!
The week was not over for Jon,
Debs and I. We battled our way up
to Leicester on Sunday in the thick
fog and we found ourselves in a sit-
uation where the mobile phone
came in very useful. However, the
12 minute call, directing us in was
not really the perfect financial start
to the morning!
Jon and I entered the mens epe
competition which was at full
capacity with over 160 entries.
Debs entered the womens epee. It
was my first epe competition and I
was thrown right into the deep end,
fencing Englands number oneranked fencer in my first pool of 6
fencers, loosing 5-3. I made my way
through to the second round and
was beaten by the number 6 seed.
Jon did extremely well in his pool
and went through to the last 64
where his eventual defeat of 15 - 11
gave him a final standing of 48.
The fencing club is going from
strength to strength. We have just
ordered new equipment this
Semester, which includes many new
masks, weapons and jackets. Come
along on a Tuesday evening (6:00 -
7:30) with out coach or on a
Wednesday (7:30 - 9:20) in the
main sports hall.

For once the chess team had
the opportunity to be over-
dogs in a match. This was
again Camberleys B-team that
commonly is of a not too impressive
standard. This time they howeverdecided to pitch a team on which the
weakest player was stronger than
their normally strongest player, so
the match was suddenly difficult.
Philip was the first to finish against
his opponent (R. Welford, 130) by
demonstrating his complete lack of
knowledge of the Scandinavian
defence and he was punched off the
board in a matter of minutes. you
generally can tell, when all of your
pieces are on the back row except
your king which is on the middle of
the board, that things arent going
precisely the way you wanted them
to. 0-1.
Next down was Lucky Luke (the
man who moves quicker than his
own shadow) against T. Morrison,
110. He got well out of the opening
but just slowly and steadily lost con-trol of the position and eventually
he had to give it up. We must
assume his opponent was just better
than him. 0-2.
Reza was the next to finish even
though his game was probably the
first to be decided. We shall grant
his opponent anonymity and just
mention that Reza, obviously dissat-
isfied with (only) third board decid-
ed to not just defeat but first humil-
iate his opponent. never any doubt
about the result. 1-2.
Dominic (against A Aslett, 147) had
an open flank file on the queenside
while the centre was closed. Yes this
is as complicated as it sounds and he
misplayed it at the critical time,
allowing the centre to open, and
suddenly his opponent was all over
him. Should have been won buteventually wasnt 1-3.
And finally Dan (against W.
Somerset, 150) decided to play the
opening called Heres my king,
come and mate it which his oppo-
nent duly attempted. Whether it be
by force majeur or just by luck, he
managed to survive it and in time
trouble his trouble his opponent
blundered, and we got the point!
so the final result was 2-3 adding
the list of defeats, but we shall
return!

It was a last minute match so to
speak due to BUSA mixing usup with SUSSEX University, an
obvious mix-up!!
Due to the Mens Football club
being so slow at getting on the bus,
we ended up getting changed on the
bus, this seems to be a regular
Reading occurrence. Irja flashed
her boobs to an unsuspecting male
driver behind the bus, much to his
delight !!
The match was started in the way
that we had meant to carry on -
Miriam scored her first try under the
posts in the first 2 minutes. Feisty
Fiona didnt convert it, but al least
she made up for it in other areas -
namely screaming constantly !!Mim then proceeded to score anoth-
er 4 tries interspersed by some
superb play by the whole team. Irjaconverted 3 of the tries much to her
delight and everyone elses amuse-
ment at her high pitched Norwegian
screams. We all now must call her
Irja-svirius-pirjus !!!
There was a bit of head-butting of
the ball by Emma and Lumpy -
surely in time you will find out what
those hand things are !!
Well done to Reanne who scored 2
tries to make it a total of 7 tries.
This was Reannes virgin game for
us, for which she should have
incurred a severe fine in the bar -
however she did not turn up. The
offence has been recorded for future
reference so beware !! Excellentplay.
Reading scored 2 tries with no con-
versions. They were good fun in thebar afterwards as were the sexy
Reading mens rugby club !!
Another big well done for Beth who
nearly scored her first try for us,
only to be stopped centimetres from
the line, youll get it next time.
We all had an excellent day, and a
barely remembered night although
it would be nice to see more of you
out.
Hooray for womens rugby, hooray
for beer, hooray for being unstop-
pable, hooray for
winning........HOORAY!!!!
Lots of love from chair-shit.
Surrey kicked off on a sunny
winters day, aiming to prove
that their BUSA record of
played 2 lost 2 was merely down to
bad luck and bad refereeing,rather
than bad players.
Things started brightly with Gareth
Flower Buddgoing through one-
on-one but a bad bounce defeatedthe normally quickfooted centre
forward and he was unable to get a
shot in. As the firsthalf wore on,
however, Portsmouth began to take
control and the normallyassured
midfield partnership of Lee see it
off Turner and Easy TigerMiriam
found it hard to get to grips with the
innovative Portsmouth tacticof
putting a player in Midfield who
could actually head the ball.
Thingswent from bad to worse as
Alan Sven Hart went down after a
suspiciouslooking challenge and
was forced to come off.
Portsmouths domination wasnow
beginning to tell and it was no sur-
prise when they found the net aftera
goal mouth scramble mid-way
through the first half, the surprisewasthat the referee ignored the
fact the Portsmouth player finished
from onthe goal line and gave a bla-
tantly off side goal. Despite
Nursey Baileygoing close late on
in the first half & Flower missing
the target with anopen goal Surrey
went in at the break one down.
Shortly into the second half Dan
lurch Taylor was dispossessed
when trying to round the
Portsmouth striker and the away
team went a further goal ahead,
slotting the ball into an empty net.
This may have crushed lesser teams
but the seconds rallied and after
good play down the right Flower
made amends by finishing in great
style with his gonads to make it a
close finish. Despite a late surgeSurrey were denied and the opposi-
tion had the cheek to flatter them-
selves by adding a late third. So
once again the seconds were
unlucky and would surely have got
a result had it not been down to des-
perately bad luck.DANNY
BRYANT.

RIDAY EVENING STEP AEROBICS nt forget the new 5 week course at 5.30 p.m. beginning on Friday 7thvember at the Sports Centre. Sorry this is not a drop in class, you mustster and its 5 to Campusport/Sports & Classes card holders.NEW DRY-SKI COURSE (4weeks) Next weeks performance onthe campusdance pro-gramme will be the last onebefore Christmas. This is absolutelyyour last chance to drag yourselfdown to PATS and be inspired(youll never need to see the BBCsannual Christmas offering of TheNutcracker in the same way again,in fact you might even stay awake -well theres always hope!)To use my catch phrase - the perfor-mance has something for everyone.
For those skin flints amongst us its
the campusdance equivalent of
Tesco value as they are offering two
companies for the price of one (silly
night - eat your heart out!). For the
homebodies both the companies
have links with the university. One
of the pieces being performed by
Amanda Banks and Nathaniel Reed
has been commissioned by the cam-
pusdance and Carol Brown current-
ly is a lecturer in Contemporary
dance and Choreography on the
universitys dance degree pro-
gramme. And finally for those of
you who enjoy a challenge, person-
al experience allows me to safely
say, that carol Browns work issome of the most exciting and inno-
vative around, not only leaving you
on a total kinestic high but chal-
lenging you to rethink everything
you though about dance, life and
the cosmos.
Sop far, the campusdance season
has been a sell-out. So if anything
Ive said hasnt yet convinced you,
this, surely, proves you are missing
out. Its also offered collaborations
between choreographers, visual
artists, and composers from a veri-
ety of backgrounds and to suit all
tastes. Could you really ask for any-
thing more? it seems such a waste
not to take advantage of this wealth
of creative talent on your doorstep.
The performance is at 8pm on the12th November in PATS. For tickets

The ugly spectre of crap refer-
ees reared its head again on
Wednesday as the University
XV were quite literally robbed
he points and the game againts a
le side from Brighton. The last
minutes were frenetic but our
m-half dived over in the corner
a perfect try. The crowd went
d; the referee awarded the try;
ed an incomprehensible ques-
to our own linesman who
wered Yes. The ref changed
mind and awarded them a 22
p out. Unbelievable. What was
se is that we had a kickable
ortunity for a penalty which
would have won the game even
though the try was disallowed but
the referee had recorded the wrong
score in his little book (13-8, not
the correct 13-11 as admitted by
their captain at the end of the
game.)
It is not like me to moan about ref-
erees- what goes around comes
around, but when they cant even
count it does make you wonder.
On a brighter note Arsenal were
beaten 3-0 by Derby. hahhahhaha-
ha.
A final plea of the year for some
sports articles - please.

T TO SAY THIS ALMOST DIDNT GET DONE COZ CAZZA GOT PISSED WITH THE FOOTY BLOKES IN CAHNCELLORS! HURRAH FOR SPORTY TYPES!!!!!
Us Them Us ThemSporty Thang The Enemy
is not only fantasy football that
equires a suspension of disbe-
ief; reality can also be hard to
. On Wednesday it was difficult
to accept that the first team had lost
a match in which they dominated
for long periods. this has been char-
acteristic of the season so far. Hard
work, good individual and team per-
formances have as a result of lapses
in concentration and our ability to
put the ball in the back of the net
resulted in a frustrating start to the
season.
From the kick off we dominated the
first twenty - impenetrable at the
back, and creative in attack. Frank
was a tower of strength at the back,and is showing signs of giving us
the kind of consistency and commit-
ment needed from all the players.
the combination of Matt (I got
booked again!) Flanagan, Dave and
Frank as the three central defenders
seemed to work well. At the oppo-
site end of the park Sam had an
impressive BUSA debut, and could
well become a regular in the team.
he showed good vision, ran well,
and most importantly always want-
ed the ball. the centre of the park
was well marshalled by James (act-
ing captain due to absence of the
injured Scouser), and John (I wear
nice orange shorts) Fagan did not
look out of his depth holding the
front defence.
Despite this initial possession we
were unable to capitalise and
Reading began to become more
involved with the game. The some-
what excited referee seemed to be
under the distinct impression that
football was a non-contact sport -
which did not help the flow of the
game. the game continued in a fair-
ly balanced manner with each side
having their chance.
It was not five minutes from time
that Reading scored their goal. A
foul 15 yards outside the Surrey box
caused outrage amongst our players.
While arguing with the referee
Reading took the free kick, playing
it out to the right wing. The Reading
player cut inside, and hit a low drive
at the near post. Stef, like the other
players not anticipating the quick
kick, was unable to hold the ball.
On the whole it was a reasonable
performance, in which we were very
lucky to lose. it should perhaps be
noted that at the last count there
were eight recognised first team
players injured - three of them left
backs!
The morning after Halloween
started with about as much
terror as the night itself ever
red, as I awoke in the Club
tains bed with green hair and an
emely stiff neck!! The horror
inued when I arrived at Senate
s to find that our loveable fix-
secretary had organised every-
g except directions to the
e!! Only a small omission but
ortant, I feel!!!
h a vague idea of our destination
minibus finally arrived at the
ote woodland location (Cheers
ky Mallard!) after only enough
ng turns to make it interesting!
en Surrey finally took to the
h, amidst the boos of the home
s resident bunch of sideline
llas, the nerves of the Captain
ly began to settle! Despite the
presence of 5 players
from the C team relieving
the friday afternoon selec-
tion crisis, Surrey took early control
of the game. Steve Pussy Catt and
Todd Constitution Hill began
superbly in the centre of the mid-
field holding the back four and the
strike force together in perfect har-
mony. Si Simple Roche and Andy
Roadrunner Shanks skinned the
oppo repeatedly and chances began
to come. Both Rochey and Golden
Boy Meads came close as Pussy
dominated the midfield. Then came
a perfect move. Cakey delivered the
ball of his life over the top of their
left back, which let Shanksy cross
for Meads to nod in at the far post!
1-0! Cakey was more shocked than
anybody else, I can assure you!
More chances followed and indeed
two Surrey goals, from Cakey and
Si Roche, were inexplicably ruled
out as the referees game went to
pieces! Postal briefly stirred them-
selves before half-time to equalisebut we were confident at the break.
After a shady first 10 minutes of the
second half, where communication
became just a word in BT adverts,
the Surrey back four settled itself
and allowed the midfield the free-
dom to take control again! A mag-
nificent through ball from
Constitution put Shanksys speedy
frame free on the right, a pin-point
cross found Amigo Paulo steaming
through onto a bullet header. 2-1.
The next 20 minutes of the game
saw Surrey play some quality foot-
ball with everyone work-
ing for each other. Cakey
and Mad Alex were
strong at Centre half, whilst Jim
Robinson took all manner of violent
abuse at left back, with a smile! The
referee made one bad decision after
another as one of their strikers
(Dinosaur is a good description!)
repeatedly fouled, kicked and even
nutted members of the Surrey XI!
Just as it couldnt get any worse he
gave a penalty against Jimbo for
probably the best challenge he made
all day! Justice was done, however,
when the aforementioned dinosaur
lifted the ball high and wide, much
to the undisguised pleasure of the
boys in yellow and blue!
Surrey spirits were higher than ever
and when Meadsy scored again to
put us 3-1 up the game was ours!
Despite a late conciliation goal for
Woking, when Cliffys ageing legs
just couldnt muster up that leg-
endary pace to reach the strikers
ankles, Surrey B took this top of the
table clash in their stride, to go four
points clear with a game in hand!
The news, that all but one of
Saturdays teams were victorious,
put morale at an all time high and
was saluted with a chorus of New
York in the showers back at fortress
Varsity.
Team of the Day was duly awarded
despite equally heroic displays from
all the Surrey boys, leaving only one
thing left to say!
WE ARE TOP OTHE LEAGUE, I
SAID WE ARE TOP OTHE
