O U T IN T H E C O L D ! Phi! Thurman

Phil Thurman RESIDENTS SAFE AFTER BEIT FIRE At 4:10am, last Saturday morning, Beit residents and their guests were woken by a fire alarm. This time it was for real — flames leapt from Beit roof.

£5000 worth of damage as ext­ractor plant is destroyed by an electrical fault.

Two police officers, who were on E m b a s s y patro l , spot ted s m o k e rising from the roof. T h e police went into the Beit m e s s e n g e r s office and spoke to the security o f f icer , M r W i l s o n . T h e g r o u p c l imbed up to the B o t a n y roof. They saw flames coming from a shed and the police immediately radioed for the fire brigade.

M r Wilson went back to set off the alarm and to evacuate both hostels. He went to each floor and left the residents to s p r e a d the word. One or two students banged on the doors of the 'heavy' sleepers and the hall was completely evacu­ated in a few minutes.

T h e fire b r i g a d e c a m e five minutes after the radio call. Fireman with breathing apparatus checked the South wing of Botany while others used CO2 to put out the fire on the roof.

Beit r e s i d e n t s , s o m e w e a r i n g their night clothes, sheltered from the rain by standing in the entrance to C h e m Eng. After about forty minutes they were able to return to their rooms.

Loans to replace grants Concern is being caused by the investigation of the Commons Select Committee on Education into the possibility of introducing a system of loans to students to replace the present grant system.

T h e possibility of i n t r o d u c i n g such a system has been discussed at intervals ever since the present government came to power. It is known to be favoured by a number of senior ministers including Sir Keith Joseph.

The Committee last week took evidence from the secretary of the C o m m i t t e e of L o n d o n C l e a r i n g B a n k s , who offered the opinion that the major banks would be i n t e r e s t e d in any s c h e m e that offered " a reasonably commercial rate of i n t e r e s t " , p r o v i d e d that repayment was made over a reason­able p e r i o d of t i m e , a n d that certain safeguards were given.

Most of the evidence given to the committee so far noints to the

introduction of a mixed system of grants supplemented by loans. This is the system used by most of the European and American countries who use loan schemes.

A c c o r d i n g to e v i d e n c e f r o m Professor C e d r i c S a n d f o r d , who has for some time campaigned for a loan system, a third of students at Bath and Exeter expressed a preference for loans in preference to grants.

The National Union of Students has already raised the quest ion with the Department of Education and has made clear its objections. The N U S is expected to submit evidence to the Committee in the next few weeks arguing against the concept of student loans.

Vice-President Elect for Education, Andy Pearman, explained: "Loans don't do anything to extend access to education, in fact they restrict it.

Those who benefit most from grants a r e t h o s e f r o m w o r k i n g c l a s s backgrounds; they would be deterred from entering higher education by the fact that they might not be able to repay the loans taken out. "

Red Cross Week May 4th — 10th

Thanks to all in College who helped by collecting or donating during this week. A total of £4,450 was raised by Kensington and C h e l s e a Cent re , which includes the College Detachment and Members Group, for London Branch funds. This is an increase on previous years' totals.

ICWA The elections for next year's I C W A Committee were held on Tuesday 13th M a y a n d r e s u l t e d in the following people being elected: President - S a n d r a O ' S u l l i v a n

(Physics 2) Hon Sec - Sheila C o x (Geology 1) Deputy President - Ji l l H a n s o n

(Met and Mat Sci 2) Ents Officers - Jenny Egdall (Civ Eng 1) and Eleanor Linton (Life Sci 1) Publicity Officer -' A n n Edmunds

" - (Life Sci 1) City and Guilds Rep - Anna Binton

( C C D 1) Unfortunately Sandra, as seen in

F E L I X , has stated that she is not prepared to actually do anything for I C W A . The rest of the committee is very keen however, and together we have decided to hold a meeting on Tuesday 17th June at 12:00 in the I C W A Lounge to discuss the P r e s i d e n t - E l e c t ' s p r o p o s a l s for I C W A and plans that the incoming committee as a whole have for next session. Your ideas will be most welcome. G o o d Luck with any exams. M Clark and the ICWA Committee (1979-80 and 1980-81).

London Student The future of the newspaper London Student is under threat as a result

of financial pressures on its publishers, the University of London Union. Each copy of the paper costs

about 7.5p to produce. Advertising revenue is not large enough to cover staff, printing and running costs.

Unless College unions enter a s u b s c r i p t i o n s c h e m e c u r r e n t l y being launched for next year, it is unlikely that U L U will be able to continue to finance the deficit and the paper will fold.

The scheme asks colleges to pay 2.5 per c o p y and distribute the p a p e r free to m e m b e r s . 2,000 copies have already been ordered, and several college unions have also given verbal commitments to join- the scheme. However, com­

p l e t e d o r d e r f o r m s are n e e d e d before the end of this term if the paper's future is to be secured.

L o n d o n S t u d e n t is the o n l y London-wide paper written and run by s t u d e n t s . T w e n t y t h o u s a n d copies are distributed each week in term time to colleges, polytechnics and further and higher education colleges, many of which are isolated on the fringes of greater London.

Deborah Perkin, Vice President ( S e r v i c e s ) at U L U , s a i d in a document sent to college unions that if London Student ceased to exist it would be " a sad day for London students, and a tragedy for London student unions".

1. Theirs to reason why

Three third year students, applying for a job, seem equal in all pertinent attributes, so the prospective employer, also an intelligent man sets a simple problem for them. The job, he says, will go to the first applicant to solve it. A mark is placed on each man's forehead. The three are told that each has either a black mark or a white mark and each is to raise his hand if he sees a black mark on the forehead of either of the other two. The first one to tell what colour he has and how he arrived at his answer will get the job. Each man raises his hand, and after a few seconds one man comes up with the answer. What colour is his mark, and how did he figure it out?

6. Truth

A FELIX newspaper reporter comes into Beit Quad and does not know which way to go to reach a fire on the roof of Botany. There are two men in the Quad, one of whom always lies while the other always tells the truth. The reporter does not know which is which. He may ask one of the men only one question to find his way. What is his question and which man does he ask?

7. Slowly does it

An aged and, it appears, somewhat eccentric ICU President wants to pass his most treasured possesion, a Norton motorbike, on to one of his two friends (both eccentric motorbike owners). He decrees that a bike race shall be held and that the friend who owns the slower bike shall have the Norton. The friends, each fearing that the other will cheat by having his bike go less fast than it is capable of, ask a wise professor's advice. With only two words the wise Prof insures that the race will be fair. What does he say?

2. Barnight

A student organising an inter-CCU barnight manages to obtain seven barrels full of beer, seven barrels half full of beer, and seven empty barrels. Not wishing to offend any C C U he decides that Mines, R C S and Guilds shall be given the same number of full, half-full and empty barrels. Can his wish be carried out? If so, how?

3. Ages A nosey male student asks a landlady how many girls

live in her house and what their ages are. The woman tells him that her three daughters live in the house, that the product of their ages is thirty-six, and that the sum of their ages is the number of the house next door. The student goes next door and looks at the number of the house. When he returns he tells the woman that the information that she gave him is not sufficient, whereupon the woman tells him, " M y eldest daughter is sleeping upstairs." The student thanks her and promptly figures out the daughter's ages. What are they and how does he know?

M U H A M M A D IN T H E BIBLE?

A s Christians we feel that we must make a public reply to the pamphlet entitled "Muhammad In The Bible" that has been circulated in IC over the past few months. While not wanting to enter into a technical textual and Historical debate just for the sake of it, nonetheless , it is very important to examine the question of whether the New Testament text is reliable. This article briefly does this and also examines the inconcsistencies that appear to exist in the author's method of argument. By way of reminder the message presented by the author of the pamphlet is that the "Spirit of truth" (or "Comforter") which Jesus talks about in John chapters 14 and 16 does not refer to the unseen Holy Spirit of G o d but the man Muhammad.

In m a k i n g our reply may we begin by considering two statements made by the author. The first refers to the author of John's Gospel (the fourth book in the New Testament) as " J o h n — an unknown writer in the second century of the Christian era" . The second states that "some hasty editor was not satisfied with the expression " S p i r i t of t r u t h " , or did not understand it, and assumed that this must be the same as the Holy Spirit . . . Such words are found nowhere else a n d are o b v i o u s l y an a d d i t i o n to the t e x t . " T h e s e a n d o t h e r h y p o t h e t i c a l arguments (we use the term hypothetical in the strict sense of the word) are used to question the accuracy of the record of Jesus' words, from which point the author goes on to suggest what Jesus really said. So he appears to rely on the reader of his article unquestioningly accepting the commonly held, but incorrect, view that the New Testament documents have been proved unreliable. Many believe that they were written a couple of centuries after the time of Christ and have been translated and copied out so many times since then that vast numbers of words and sentences must have altered, been missed out or even added. But when facts are faced such views do not stand up. Let's for example examine the Gospel of John which is certainly not the earliest piece of Christian writing in the New Testament (see reference 1).

The earliest fragment of the Gospel now in existence is dated at about AD125 and it is generally accepted that the Gospel itself was written between AD70—90 ie 40—60 years after the crucifixion of Jesus. There is also strong textual and traditional evidence that the author was John the disciple of Jesus, not an unknown writer and certainly not a second century writer. T h e other three Gospels are also eyewitness accounts of the life of Christ. As one would e x p e c t the q u a n t i t y o f N e w T e s t a m e n t manuscripts increases as we move into the second, third and fourth centuries A D . By this time we have literally hundreds of copies in a d o z e n l a n g u a g e s : the 5th c e n t u r y codex A l e x a n d r i n u s a n d the 4th c e n t u r y codex Siniaticus (complete New Testament texts) both reside in London in the British Museum with m a n y o t h e r a n d e a r l i e r N e w T e s t a m e n t manuscripts.

Also in existence is a complete set of the Four Gospels each in papyrus book form and dated before AD200. Admittedly, there are variations between manuscripts, about 157 in the four New Testament Gospels. The vast majority are very minor and of the kind seen in Matthew chapter 3 verse 11 and Luke chapter 3 verse 16 where John the Baptist is said to have baptised "with water" while some manuscripts read " i n water". What should be recognised is that not a single point of Christian belief hangs on a disputed reading.

The sort of time scales mentioned above may still seem rather long, but Christian manuscript tradition is in fact much stronger for the New Testament Gospels than for any other ancient book. The text of Caesar's book "Gal l ic Wars" for example is based on a single ninth century manuscript, ie a 900 year gap separates the o r i g i n a l work from the earliest copy now available . O n e final point to mention here, before leaving the matter of New Testament reliability, is the way archaeology has shed a great deal of light on the Gospels and the book of the Acts of the Apostles. Again and again archaeology has v indicated their reliabil ity . Let's go back to John's Gospel for an example. In chapter 19 verse 13 we are told that Jesus was tried before Pilate at a place called The Pavement (Gabbatha in Hebrew). Nobody knew anything about such a pavement and it looked like John was adding dramatic atmosphere to the simple tale of Christ's trial until French archaeologist Pere Vincent dug it up in the 1930s. It measured fifty yards square and can be seen in the city today. For a much deeper study of the rel iabil ity of the New Testament see references 1, 2 and 3.

Having very briefly outlined the fact that the Gospels are early and reliable (something that even critical scholars now accept in the light of so much evidence) we now turn to examine the author's method of argument a little closer. O n reading the pamphlet carefully it becomes clear that his arguments are based on assumed errors in the text for which he admits himself there is no positive textual evidence available ( p a r a g r a p h 4 sentence 6). H o w e v e r , for a moment let us assume that the New Testament is unreliable and see what the implications are.

Using a scientific analogy the author is saving that he has got a bad set of data but he can correct it (without having external evidence to give his corrections any degree of authority), and the corrected data fits in with his theory and so proves it to be true. But the New Testament is reliable and the authors textual theory goes very much against the great weight of " e x p e r i m e n t a l " ev idence d e r i v e d from scholarly objective Biblical research. Indeed if John chapters 14 and 16 are read in context with both the O l d and New Testaments there can be no mistaking the message that the Holy Spirit of God was to and did begin a new type of work among men.

In conclusion may we say that God's message to man in the Bible and supremely through the life, death by crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is very clear. That message speaks first of the enormous D I G N I T Y of ma n ' s creation in the image of God (Genesis lv26, P s a l m 8v4, 5). It also speaks of the total D E P R A V I T Y of human nature (Romans 3v23) caused by man's rebellion against his Creator a n d the real i ty of this S in and r e s u l t i n g -separation from God ending in death (Romans 6v23). Finally it speaks of the D E S T I N Y of man which is the fearful prospect of death and God's judgement (Hebrews 9v27, 28). It is at this point that God's message of hope through Jesus Christ comes in: God himself in Christ has dealt with man's Sin and made a way for man to return to H i m . At this point Christians rightly tend to employ certain pictures to explain the work that Christ accomplished by dying on a R o m a n Gallows (eg paying the ransom required that man might be set free). Whether or not you find the pictures helpful the reality is that Christ bore the consequences of our sins (1 Peter 2v24) and to prove his victory over Sin and Death he rose from death never to die again (1 Corinthians 15v3, 8). God freely offers forgiveness through Christ and new life through the indwelling of his Holy Spirit for those who acknowledge their need (1 John lv8—10).

T h e personal c la ims of Jesus C h r i s t are enormous and his claims on us as individuals are equally enormous. No doubt many people in the past and today try to avoid these claims by running away from the facts, but the truth is that about 2000 years ago a Jewish carpenter from a small town in the Middle East made these claims and substantiated them by his victory over the grave.

As the examinations draw to an end, thoughts inevitably turn to next session and the thorny problem of finding accommodation.

Ideally, it would be nice to get fixed up with something this term so that you don't have to worry about it over the vacation. Unfortunately this is not a very easy thing to achieve as most landlords are not interested in giving firm promises for the future which leaves the rather unattractive alternative of finding a place now and paying for U over the summer.

If you do want to book something now for next term without having to pay for it over the summer, the best place to inquire is the U L Accommodation Office at 8 Princes Gardens.

T h e W e l f a r e C e n t r e has a few beds i ts available which can be booked in advance and we are hoping to get some more in the near future.

Agencies, newspapers and noticebbards are not much use for this purpose as they tend to deal with current vacancies rather than future ones.

If you don't manage to find anything this term, then it is probably best to forget all about it until September when it is financially viable to take on a current vacancy even if you don't actually need it until the beginning of term.

T h e a c c o m m o d a t i o n m a r k e t is h i g h l y competitve at that time of the year since there is an enormous influx of students. This means that the earlier you start looking in September, the better.

Most people would probably prefer to live in a flat than in a bedsit and one of the snags that flat hunters tend to come across in September is that landlords are. reluctant to let a flat unless they can interview all the prospective sharers before granting a tenancy. Since it is quite frequent for one or more members, of a group looking for a flat, to be away on holiday or on a field trip at this time of year, difficulty can arise and so it is a point worth bearing in mind when you are planning your strategy for finding a flat.

If you are going to find it difficult to come down to London early on in September to start looking , you c a n always ring the Welfare Centre for addresses and then try and fix an appointment with the landlady for a time when it is convenient to see the place.

When you do start looking at places, one of the problems that arises is if you are offered a p l a c e w h i c h d o e s not c o m e u p to y o u r expectations and you have to decide whether or not to take it or risk ending up in something worse.

If you don't have any experience of living in the private rented sector, it might be an idea to try and look at some places this term, eg those occupied by friends or you could even have a look at places that arc being offered by the various accommodation sources at present. This will give you an idea of the standards and prices to expect — bearing in mind that there is likely to be some increase in prices by the beginning of the next term.

If you are thinking of coming to look for accommodation in September, there should be some temporary accommodatin available in the Halls and then in the Union Crash Pad. Details of these schemes are not yet available, but soon should be, so keep an eye on F E L I X or check with the Union Office before coming down to look.

In September, possible sources of accommo­dation will be:

University of London Accommodation Centre (8 Princes Gardens) This office is mainly concerned with finding accommodation for freshers during this period and so they won't have much to offer non-freshers. The best time to use them is now when they will have details of places that you can book in advance.

Welfare Centre (3rd floor, Union Building)

Flat Agencies These usually charge one to two weeks rent for finding you a place. They also tend to deal with the more expensive accommodation. A list of agencies which have been recommended by various people can be obtained from the Welfare Centre.

Newspapers These do provide a source of accommodation but the evening papers are very widely read and people queue in Fleet Street to get the first edition. A s a result places advertised go very quickly and so, although worth trying, this a p p r o a c h is often m o r e f r u s t r a t i n g than productive. Local papers — eg, the Kensington and Chelsea Post are read by fewer people, but contain correspondingly fewer accommoda­tion advertisements.

Noticeboards A lot of sweet shops, etc, have noticeboards with accommodation vacancies. They tend to be past history by the time you get to look at them but some have dates scribbled on them which you can use to select the most recent

All in all, accommodation hunting can be pretty hard work but perserverance is usually rewarded. If you find yourself in a position where you have to take something which doesn't suit you, don't despair. A s long as the arrangement with the landlord doesn't tie you to staying on there for a long time, you can sit it out until the rush dies down and then start looking again.

If y o u have any w o r r i e s a b o u t f inding accommodation, you can always come up to the Welfare Centre for a chat about it.

V A C A T I O N M O N E Y If you can't get a job during the vacat ion (incidentally the Welfare Centre has a list of vacation jobs) it is worth remembering that you can claim supplementary benefit, which starts at £16.35 per week if you are living at home and goes up if you are paying rent. Y o u can also claim unemployment benefit if you have sufficient National Insurance contribuions and the new contribution conditions that have been imposed on students do not apply during the summer.

L U G G A G E S T O R E F o r those of you who are going to find it difficult to take all your stuff away with you at the end of the term, there will be a luggage store in the Union Building. For further details contact the Welfare Centre.

D o n ' t B a n k with Apartheid

says the A n t i - A p a r t h e i d Group at IC following last

week's Barclays advert

The views expressed in this article are not necessarily those of FELIX or the Editor of FELIX

- Editorial comment page 10

Barclays And South Africa Barclays has traditionally been attacked for its s u p p o r t for S o u t h A f r i c a on g o v e r n m e n t projects.

T h e l a t e s t m a j o r s u c h v e n t u r e is its investment in Sasol the South African State Oil Corporation, in which Barclays National has a £10million holding.

The South African government has frantically been investing in oil from coal production in order to cushion itself against any future oil e m b a r g o . B a r c l a y s not o n l y a s s i s t e d in providing the financing of this project but also handled the selling of shares in Sasol on the Johannesburg stock exchange.

The call for an oil embargo is an essential step in bringing down the apartheid regime. It should also be remembered that fuel is vital for. the South African 'defence' forces continually used to repress any oppos i t ion movement against apartheid. Barclays should be exposed for fuelling apartheid.

Barclays Bank Ltd has a 60% share of its subsidiary Barclays National in South Africa. It is therefore capable of stopping this support for the regime ..in South Africa.

The other argument against Barclays is that it is the biggest bank in South Africa.

Although it claims a progressive image and doubtless could substantiate its claim to abide by the E E C ' s C o d e of C o n d u c t its actual employment statistics expose clearly the lie that it c a n in any way be challenging the apartheid system.

In South Africa there are employed 2,480 non-white clerical staff as against 13,000 whites. Hardly an example of equality of opportunity in a c o u n t r y with exactly reversed populat ion proportions!

Sir Anthony Tuke, Chairman of Barclays, at their recent A G M justified little being done to challenge apartheid by saying that the bank had to work within the law. That also means that the bank is subject to racist employment laws and one can only doubt whether the bank seriously c o n c e r n s itself with this p r o b l e m when as it readily admits its chief concern is-to protect its investments and profit margins, not to worry about 'polit ical issues ' . A p a r t h e i d yields big profits by racist exploitation and repression of the majority of the population. In such a situation passive acceptance of 'the law' is n o d i f f e r e n t f r o m a c t i v e s u p p o r t for apartheid.

Why Pick O n Barclays In Particular? * 1. It is one of three B r i t i s h b a s e d b a n k s involved in the Sasol financing (the others are Standard Chartered and Hill Samuel) and of those is the largest shareholder. 2. B a r c l a y s N a t i o n a l , the S o u t h A f r i c a n subsidiary, is the largest bank in South Africa and therefore operates under racist employment policies and in many ways acts to prop up the apartheid system.

What Can You Do? 1. Don't bank with Barclays. 2. Write a letter to the Union Exec /Counci l calling for no more adverts to be placed by Barclays in Union publications. 3. S u p p o r t IC A n t i - A p a r t h e i d G r o u p . ( C o ­

LETTERS Dear Colin

I would like to make public my grievances regarding the conduct of some of the staff behind Stan's Bar, Southside. Apart from being unhelpful, unfriendly and arrogant, things of which many people are aware, they are also offensive and foul-tongued. This I found to my cost on Saturday night last when I asked for s o m e change for the v i d e o - g a m e in S t a n ' s B a r . T h e immediate reaction from one of the barmen was: " F - k off, this isn't a f-king bank".

This was not an isolated incident. When another customer asked for a packet of peanuts he received an equally witty reply. ("Piss off, this isn't a f-kine sweet-shop.")

Other people were given typically gruff and unpleasant serive.

Surprisingly, when a customer who had been waiting for about five minutes for service, muttered " S - t " under his breath, he was told to mind his language by the other barman.

Is it necessary to employ such unpleasant people as bar-staff? Just because we are students I do not u n d e r s t a n d why we s h o u l d be treated quite so deplorably.

I am looking forward to a reply from whoever is responsible for employing the bar-staff at Stan's. Yours etc, Nick Taube Physics One

1. Since all three applicants raised their hands, there are two possibilities: two black and a white or three black. If therefore, there were a white mark o n any forehead, two students would see one black a n d one white and would instantly deduce that the third mark must be black. Since this instant solution did not occur , each of the three students saw two black marks. Therefore all were black, including the mark of the successful applicant.

2. O . K . so you came up with an easy solution - there are several. Pour four of the half-full barrels together to make two more full ones. N o w there are nine full barrels, three' half-full barrels, a n d nine empty barrels. Al l c a n be divided by three. 3. T h e landlady has a nine year old daughter a n d two-year-old twins. 4. O n e of the terms is (x - x) therefore the answer is zero. 5. Pick a garment out of the " R a g sweatshirts a n d Horrids T-shirt b o x " . Y o u then know which label should be fixed to that box. A s all the labels were initially incorrect then the other two labels can be simply exchanged. 6. T h e reporter should ask either m a n , "If I were to ask you if this is the way I should go, would you say yes?" 7. "Switch b ikes " 8. A is 2, B is 1, C is 9, D is 7, E is 8.

A WARNING T h e c u r r e n t , d i s g r a c e f u l l y i r r e s p o n s i b l e behaviour of residents in Southside is likely to lead to a serious breakdown of relations with Mews residents.

The hurling of objects out of H a l l windows is b o t h d a n g e r o u s a n d a n n o y i n g , a n d i f these objects are bottles then the act ion becomes potentially homicidal .

Whether or not the c u r r e n t spate of bottles emerges f r o m Southside, the H a l l s only draw suspicion on themselves by the continued shower of weighted paper darts, carrier bags filled with water, cans, etc, on the mews side of the Halls .

I view the allegations of bottle throwing even more seriously and any students or guests of student residents can expect no help f rom me i f they were to be asked to leave Col lege , a n d indeed, I would support the College line on this issue.

If this practice, and that of abusing persons in the Mews, continues, a private detective is going to be hired with the a i m of amassing evidence and prosecuting individuals. It is therefore very important that those responsible persons who live in Halls c lamp down on the lunatic fringe and prevent this happening.

! ! ! IMPORTANT ! ! ! As everyone knows, good accommodation is very hard to come by and many IC students are doomed to spend a period of misery in expensive squalor.

If you are living in reasonable accommodation at present and are expecting to move out of it for good in the near future, it would be a great pity if the opportunity for an IC student to live there next year was lost.

Some students, mainly PCs and those working in London over the summer, are looking for accommodation from the end of this term.

It would be very much appreciated, both by the Union and by students who are and will be facing the problems of finding somewhere to live, if you could help in one or more of the following ways.

1) Come to the Welfare Centre {third floor, Union Building) and give us details of your accommodation.

2) Jot down the details on the back of this sheet and send it to the Union Office via the Internal Mai l .

3) Detach the bit at the bottom of this sheet and give it to your landlord/lady.

Prompt action could save a fellow student from a lot of anguish.

Thank you for your help.

Michael Arthur Welfare Adviser

PS: If you found your accommodation through the U L Accommodation Office in Princes Gardens, you needn't do anything as they will already have contacted your landlord/lady.
