Ring-a-Ring-a-Roses at Eros
The Arab/IC Radio Conflict
IC RADIO may have an unlikely neighbour at its technical
studio at 10 Princes Gardens; the basement of no 9 is to
become a mosque to be used by Islam S o c . T h e controversy
surrounds the application of G L C Fire Regulations which
stipulate that a second escape route be available.
T h e estates department has decided that the best way to
comply with these regulations is to put a door in the wall that
will divide the mosque from the studio so escape will be
through the studio.

FELIX, October 10, 1980 ' Page 3
By J. Passmore
W E L L D O N E , you got through
the first week as well. M y first
duty this week is to explain the
w h o l e s t r u c t u r e r e l a t i n g t o
U G M s , representation, etc. S o . .
UGMs
IC Union General Meetings are
held about once a month. They
d i s c u s s m a t t e r s w h i c h h a v e
arisen in the intervening period
and decide what should be done,
i.e. they instruct myself and the
other officers what to do. This
can be anything from represen
tation within College to matters
external (normally those which
affect us).
U G M s a r e h e l d e i t h e r o n
Tuesday or Thursday lunchtimes
(1:30pm to 2:30pm) so nobody
will miss lectures. They are well
advertised beforehand. A thing
called E x e c Neius is produced
t h r e e to four days before the
meeting and it contains Officers'
reports and motions which are to
be discussed.
What happens at a UGM?
W e l l , the m i n u t e s of the last
m e e t i n g are d i s t r i b u t e d at the
meeting and any matters arising
are dealt with. Then the Officers
present their reports, and everyone
asks questions about what we
have done. T h e n the juicy bit,
motions, where the Union formu
lates policy to guide the Exec in
m a k i n g t h e i r d e c i s i o n s . T h e
Union policy document is kept
in the Union Office and contains
policy past back beyond 1968.
Anyone can propose any motion
at a U G M . N o r m a l l y m o t i o n s
consist of noting various facts;
b e l i e v i n g s e v e r a l t h i n g s , a n d
instructing people to do things.
M o t i o n s a r e p r o p o s e d a n d
s p e e c h e s a r e m a d e , t h e n the
m o t i o n s m a y be a m e n d e d o r
opposed or both. A n amendment
a d d s s o m e e x t r a b i t s a n d / o r
t a k e s a w a y s o m e b i t s a n d is
proposed in a similar fashion to
the main motion, it can then be
opposed. If necessary, another
round of speeches may be held
a n d after d i s c u s s i o n a vote is
taken. The main motion can also
be opposed and there can also
be more speeches, finally leading
to a vote. The whole process is
complicated but it all follows the
same pattern. The only way you
can really find out is to go, and
when there, if you do not under
stand, shout and scream at the
people at the front until they tell
you.
For meetings to remain quorate
300 peop le are r e q u i r e d . T h a t
d o e s n o t m e a n t h a t j u s t 300
should turn up. If Un ion meetings
are to be effective lots more are
needed.
A l s o many people think that
student unions are a crowd of
p o l i t i c o s . W e l l , we are not in
N U S and believe in representing
our own students; just look at
the agenda, basically a motion to
restrict a discussion on a subject
to o n c e a t e r m , a m o t i o n on
lecture training (enough said) and
a motion on overseas students.
The next meeting is T U E S D A Y ,
O C T O B E R 28 at 1:00pm in the
Great Hal l .
Timetables
R e m e m b e r t h a t n o l e c t u r e s
should be timetabled for Wed
nesday afternoons or the 1:30-2:30
slot on Tuesdays and Thursdays
(except for the last term). A n y
complaints regarding this — see
either your Dep Rep or myself.
Y o u should know by now who
your Dep Rep is and should elect
Academic and Social reps this
week.
Papers
P a p e r s a r e up i n the L o w e r
Lounge for a multitude of posts,
most of which no one will know
anything about. T o explain:
T h e External Affairs Officer
deals with U L U , grants, overseas
s t u d e n t s , l i b r a r i e s a n d v a r i o u s
other things. His /her committee
helps the officer.
The Permanent Working Party
w o r k s o n m a t t e r s r e f e r r e d to
them by Counc i l , normally of an
internal nature, e.g. refectories.
U L U Student Representative
Counc i l delegates represent I C U
within the University on many
academic and university matters.
Union Finance Committee
deals with Un ion finance (which is
approximately £189.00).
Academic Affairs Committee
d e a l s w i t h l e c t u r e r t r a i n i n g ,
tutorials, labwork, etc.
T i d d l y w i n k s was a b s o l u t e l y
e x c e l l e n t . W e l l d o n e a l l w h o
went, I hope you keep it up.
A l l for now. Hie ! T r y Bluebell
on 2488, wonderful!
John Passmore
President
Matters Raised
W E L L I hope you're all settled in
by now, despite the hectic first
w e e k . If y o u d i d n ' t c o m e to
Freshers ' Fair then ya, boo and
sucks because you missed all the
clubs. However , you can always
get names of club captains, etc,
from Annie in the Union Office,
so you can still join up. I was
very pleased with the way the
Fair went, and I must thank Rich
Archer , Dave Brit ton and Annie ,
w h o were the on ly ones w h o
stayed till the end to clear up.
A n d now the rest of this weeks
Trophy Lead
D e s p i t e what was sa id in the
Freshers ' F E L I X , the police have
been m a k i n g p r o g r e s s on the
s t o l e n t r o p h i e s . T h e y h a v e
i d e n t i f i e d a s u s p e c t , w h o left
many fingerprints on the broken
w i n d o w a n d the c a b i n e t i tse l f ,
and they are at present tracing
him so that he can "help them
with their enquiries".
JCR Furniture
M o st of the furniture has now
c o m e b a c k , c o m p l e t e l y re -up
holstered and looking very nice
indeed. A s this was achieved at a
cost of over £4,000 to the U n i o n ,
we would like to see it staying
n i ce . P l e a s e , please, P L E A S E
spare a little thought, and treat it
with respect, after all , its your
money, which could have been
spent in far better ways. A lso I'd
like to give an official warning: if
a n y o n e is caught a b u s i n g the
f u r n i t u r e they wi l l be severe ly
disciplined and made to pay the
cost of making good any damage.
Finance
The Union Finance Committee
Major Cla ims meeting will be on
Tuesday, November 4, and all
claims must be in to me one week
b e f o r e h a n d , i . e . by T u e s d a y ,
Oc tober 28. S o all you clubs and
societies had better start thinking
about what you need and finding
some very good reasons why you
need it!
That 's all for this week, so bye
for now.

L i b e r a l C l u b . H e s t r e s s e d the
fact that the Liberal Party had its
greatest o p p o r t u n i t y in recent
years with a harsh and unpopular
T o r y g o v e r n m e n t faced by an
ineffective and bickering Labour
opposition, and forecast a break
through in the next few years, as
Liberal policies on human rights,
ecology, industr ial partnership ,
and 'power to the people', were
seen as relevant to the situation
of Britain and the world. During
avid discussion afterwards it was
felt that, whilst the Liberal party
should emphasise its role as the
p r o g r e s s i v e a l t e r n a t i v e , we
should be prepared to work with
b r o a d - b a s e d a n d s i n g l e i s sue
groups to achieve our ends, and
not take the chauvinistic attitude
of the other parties insisiting we
were the 'only way'.

slightly more than a year ago to
complement the activities of the
Red C r o s s Detachment.
O u r members are involved in a
variety of activities; frequently we
are called on to send one or two
members to escort an elderly or
in f i rm p e r s o n on a n e c e s s a r y
journey, perhaps from home to
hospital in London ; we receive a
c o u p l e of r e q u e s t s a t e r m for
detective work, tracing a person
last known in this area on behalf
of their family overseas; some
times we are called on to assist
at the local Red Cross Fair in
November (on the bar!) and at a
Christmas Party for local elderly
and disabled in December.
In a d d i t i o n we are in t o u c h
with a local geriatric and psychi

HAVING got the first week of
the year out of the way, the RCS
machine goes thundering on.
The pub crawl on Wednesday
was well attended and enjoyed
by all. A Kangela from over a
hundred people in the tunnel
served to terrorise all the tourists
in the vicinity, so the rest of the
evening was (fairly) peaceful.
The real blockbuster of the
week took place on Saturday.
About 170 intrepid R C S persons
turned out to tiddle and wink
down Oxford Street. Despite
being outnumbered by Guilds,
R C S pissed all over them by
collecting around £940 with a few
c a n s sti l l o u t s t a n d i n g . T o p
collector of the day was Andy
North of Physics 1 with £42.
However, congratulations to
everyone who came along, you're
all stars as far as I'm concerned.
The next Rag stunt will be this
Saturday and is a circus outside
H a r r o d s . C l o w n s and other
performers should meet in the
R C S U Office at 10:00am.
The bar night on Sunday was
a good old barnstormer to finish
off the week on a high note and
totally wreck Archer's voice.
Forthcoming events include
the Freshers' Dinners. Maths is
on Friday and starts at 7:00pm
for 7:30pm in the Ante-room,
Sherfield Building. There is also a
party afterwards to which anyone
who has bought a ticket for any
of the freshers' dinners can go.
Merely turn up at the JCR after
10:00pm with your ticket receipt
and you will be admitted.
Finally, the RCS Union Office
is open every lunchtime, so drop
in to buy a slopshirt or just for a
cup of coffee and a chat.
See you around.

FRESHERS' week is over and I
have nearly had to retire with
t alcoholic poisoning. The Fair was
a great success with a lot of
regalia sold; this was followed by
ice-skating, where, despite many
attempts, no injuries were incur
red. The rugby trials on Wednes
day were well attended and in
the evening we had a great bar-
nite. On Friday we had the best
JCR party yet, and hopefully you
all met some of the women from
IF.
Tiddlywinks was a heap of fun,
especially down the centre of
Oxford St. In the end we collected
£290 which means we collected
more money per head than the
other C C U s . Finally on Saturday
night we held our annual pub-
crawl, which although poorly
attended, showed that the drinking
spirit in Mines remains one of
excess.
Later on this term we hope to
arrange a Rag collecting visit to
Windsor.
C&G
N E X T M O N D A Y , October 13,
Guilds are having a roller-skating
trip to the Covent Garden Rink.
The cost will be £1.20 (group
rate) plus £1 deposit for skates,
plus travel. We may be holding a
roller-skating Rag collection later
this term so if you need some
practise, this is a good opportunity.
O n Tuesday we are holding
the E L E C T I O N U G M at which
you will be able to vote for the
new Guilds President and Hon
Junior Treasurer. Be in Mech
Eng 220 at 12:45pm on the 14 to
cast your all-important vote.
On Thursday, October 16, the
fun really starts, with the first of
the Freshers ' Dinners . These
offer an excellent opportunity to
meet other members of your
department, have a really good
three-course meal and generally
have a great evening. There will
be sherry (or orange juice)
served in the Sherfield Ante
room at 7:00pm and the meal will
start at 7:30pm.
After the dinner and speeches
there will be an opportunity to
socialise with other members of
your department over coffee in
the JCR. A bar will also be open.
The cost of the dinner is £4.50
for freshers, £6 for others. This
price includes sherry, wine, port
and coffee. O n the subject of
port — a couple of 'rules': the
decanter must not be allowed to
touch the table; you must only
handle it with your left hand,
passing it to your left; ladies
must not touch the decanter at
all and it should be passed
behind them.
One other rule: anyone who
leaves the r o o m before the
Royal T o a s t must, on their
return, drink one pint of beer
(slightly salted), so make sure
you 'go' before the dinner.
Tickets are available from the
G u i l d s Off ice or from your
departmental reps. The dates of
the dinners are shown elsewhere
in FELIX.

Undergraduate Research
Opportunities A S C H E M E is being introduced whereby first and second year
undergraduate students can participate in research either in or
outside their own departments. It is entirely voluntary.
Participation will give you a chance to:
- learn at first hand about the sort of activities you can expect
to undertake after graduating;
- learn at your own pace, without formal instruction, by actually
doing something;
- have the opportunity of contributing to knowledge in your
subject;
- decide whether or not a particular field of work suits you;
- further interests you may have already developed — from
industrial experience, hobbies and so on;
- cross disciplinary boundaries;
- achieve a publication, prototype, invention, prize or other
tangible item;
- be inspired concerning the context and purpose of your
formal coursework;
- maybe earn some money.
How to Join
Remember you are free to join or opt out of this scheme at any time
— it's up to you! You will be working in your own time.
A list giving the areas of research in which opportunities for
undergraduates currently exist can be obtained from Professor J. C.
Anderson, Room 714, Electrical Engineering Department. Bear in
mind that the intention is not necessarily that you should carry out a
specific project with a beginning and middle and end; participation is
the name of the game!
The hours you work in research are up to you. Laboratories are
open until 10:00pm each evening and at the weekend. You should
apply to the appropriate authority (in your department) for an out-of-
hours pass and (where necessary) a laboratory key. Remember the
safety rule that you may never work alone in a laboratory.
Formal Requirements
There are no formal, academic requirements but you are invited, at
the end of your research activities, or at some other suitable point to
write a brief technical report on your work. This report should
discuss, amongst other things, what work you have done; the
theoretical and practical significance of the work; how you think the
research would/should be carried forward; how the experience of
participating in the research contributed to your intellectual and
practical development.
The report will be submitted to your supervisor who will forward it
to the departmental central office. It will be kept to be referred to
when your department is called upon to give you a reference In the
future. It will also be useful to the Examiners when they come to
discussing your final degree.
College Health Service
The College Health Service at 14 Princes Gardens is available to:
students and staff. It includes a well-equipped surgery, consulting
rooms and a sick bay (term time only).
Students and staff who live in the postal districts listed below can
also register with the Health Service, which holds an NHS list on
behalf of the College:
SW 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10
NW 1, 3, 5, 6, 8
EC 1, 2
Hamlet Gardens
W 1, 2, 8, 9, 10,
N 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
WC 1, 2
11, 14
10, 16, 19
Students are strongly advised to register with a doctor while in
London; this provides full emergency cover and visiting at home or
lodgings when necessary, day and night, throughout the year.
An optional insurance scheme has been introduced for students to
cover payment for services not provided free of charge by the NHS,
e.g. the sick bay and certain medical examinations. Premiums are:
1 year or part-time course £5
2 year course £8.50 3 year course £12
4 year course £14
Further details of the facilities offered by the College Health Service,
NHS registration and the insurance scheme are available from 14
Prince's Gardens.

REMEMBER the story about the rotten food
in Southside in the Freshers' FELIX?
Well, authoritative sources tell us that as
jsoon as Mr Mooney saw FELIX he rushed
into the kitchens with Mr Parsons (Assistant
Refectory Manager) and proceeded to grill
(or reheat, maybe) all of the staff.
T h e c o o k - f r e e z e abuse is c o m m o n
knowledge in the kitchens and Mr Mooney
was very annoyed that it had been leaked to
the press. We would dare to suggest that
instead of wasting his time attempting to
cover up his failings he diverted his attention
to doing a better job. 'Nuff said?
I l l e g a l R m W m
S O M U C H for all the fuss about Steve
Marshall's rag mag being illegal last year
because it didn't have the printer's name
on it. Even Big Brian made detrimental
comments about it (we all know it was just
a very convenient excuse to stop its sale —
nice try, Bri!). I shudder to think what
College would do if they even suspected that
any of those rag mags were ever sold
afterwards without the printer's imprint.
So public-spirited was I, that I bought out
Rag's entire supply at F r e s h e r ' s Fair
(lOp each) to stop them falling into the
wrong hands. These illegal items are now
being sold for personal and private gain
at £5 each.
PS Congrats are now in order to Dave
Jago for keeping up the tradit ion of
producing excellent rag mags. I like it
a lot and it's nice to see the printer's imprint
this year (you can't miss it). I'm not terribly
conversant with the Printer's Imprint Act,
196T,so I wouldn't know whether it needed
the publisher's name or not.
T H E Oi ly D o w s o n M e m o r i a l Prize for
misleading headlines was today presented to
Mr S Goulder, FELIX news editor. Mr S J
Marshall, current holder of the title, was
, visibly moved by this shock defeat but
confidentially stated that he would be back
on form soon.
IT'S NICE to see that the Union bog lights
have at long last been fixed.
So, when is Rachel Jane going to realise
that us masculine types also need such
requisites as soap, and bog paper? Locks
and handles on the doors would be nice too.
Liz Lindsay has been heard to comment
that she thinks that the paper in the ladies is
far too hard. Woopee! But what about us
blokes, long finger-nails play havoc with our
piles, you know!
While we're on the bog: when was the last
time R a c h e l Jane c h e c k e d the D u r e x
machine? I would have thought someone
would have told her that it needed filling by
now.
Ak c £ Mm
I M U S T be feeling particularly anal today.
I've been absorbed by the new Kimberly-
Clark bog paper all this week. Most of the
halls have sprouted little plastic dispensers of
single sheet paper. Did you know, and not a
lot of people know this, but the equivalent
amount of paper is TWICE as expensive as
the old stuff. At first, I was astounded that
College should want to double their already
massive toilet paper bills, but after careful
experimentation in the field (where do you
think I wrote this article?) I think they may
not be as daft as everybody thinks.
While I usually pull about eight sheets off a
roll to make a four sheet wiper, I find it
awfully time consuming to pull out the
equivalent from these dastardly dispensers.
And I have discovered that I only need a
couple of sheets for the average bomb load
— thus cutting down wastage and U-bend
blockage. V Good.
I also did a little research amongst some of
the FELIX staff members. Dave Jago tells me
he only uses one sheet at a time anywav and
thinks College are wasting money. However,
Mark Smith claims to need a 16-sheet wiper
i as a minimum. Even this is no match for
what he cutely terms his 'flock of sparrows'
after a Star of India Curry.
Why don't Y O U write to the Editor and
tell him what you think of the new bog
paper.'
L I N S T E A D basement is currently being
tidied up. It is used as a trunk and baggage
store but tends to be abused by ex-students
who return fifteen years later expecting to
find their trunks still intact.
One such trunk was discovered which
belonged to an Iranian ex-Mech Eng student.
After forcing the lock an interesting item was
noticed amongst the clothes, books and
soldering irons — a gold-plated vibrator!
Puzzle Corner By Scaramouche
There are very few students of logic at Primelia College;
not surprising, really, considering their professor's sense of humour.
When exam results were announced last term, for instance, he mixed
up the cards in his secretary's address file, so all six final year students
received a letter giving the results of one of the others. Predictably, all
six were waiting outside his office when he arrived the following
morning.
"Well work them out!" beamed the professor. "After all, you know
we awarded one first, two seconds, and three thirds. And surely you
guessed that Bumble did better then Drudge, and Clumsy didn't do as
well as Amble."
"I now know everyone's results," announced Fumble.
"From that, I can deduce them all, too," said Clumsy.
"Now I know them all," put in Bumble.
"Me too,"groused Amble. "I thought I'd done better than that." 1 The six of them then set off for the Queen's Legs to celebrate,
leaving the professor's secretary working how to put the correct
names to the addresses in her file. Can you help her?

Friday), October 10, 1980 Page 11
Last Friday, I was sent a letter by the Union
Executive, claiming certain factual inaccuracies
in last week's FELIX. Before I continue, here is
the letter:
Dear Sir,
Just a wee note to clear up a few factual
inaccuracies in your FELIX of October 3, 1980.
1. Exec News was not distributed in a frenzy at
the Rector's Reception. The copies were placed in
each department as per usual.
2. A meeting is not inquorate until the quorum
is challenged and a quorum call cannot be
withdrawn.
3. The Union Bar remained open until 5:00pm
at Freshers' Fair.
4. Miss Ruth Hildebrand's jacket was stolen
from the Guilds Reception held in the Union
Concert Hail, not from the proceedings in the
Great Hall.
5. The two gentlemen who inspected the
trophy cabinet and the Rape Alarm system around
the Union Office were from the firm who are to
install further alarms. The degree of security was
decided at the beginning of August when it was
agreed to install an alarm on the trophy cabinet at a
cost of £101, and two additional rape alarms in the
Union Office at a cost of £170.
6. The Freshers' U G M , October 7, 1976 was
closed due to inquoracy at 2:30pm. The Freshers'
U G M , October 5, 1978, was closed due to
inquoracy at 2:20pm.
7. Bill Robertson has not yet received his
Honorary Life Membership of IC Union as he was
unable to attend the Freshers' U G M , but the
presentation is scheduled for the U G M October
28, 1980.
We could go on, but that's enough for the time
being.
We fee"l it will be a great pity if this trend is
allowed to continue as there is a great risk that the
Letters Page will be reduced to corrections of
mistakes made in the previous week's issue.
Love
Michael John
Rachel Jane
Elizabeth Agnes
themselves as an efficient, vibrant Exec, as I
received a further two mysterious phone calls
from Mr Passmore (Irishman) urging me to
print their letter.
Mr Passmore (Irishman) then picked fault
with the headline 'Freshers' U G M Inquorate'
claiming there is no such word as inquorate. Of
course, we were merely quoting Mr Passmore
(Irishman) at the U G M — see (2) of the Exec's
letter, and the part of Passmore's Preversions
where he uses the word 'quorate'.
What about the actual letter? 1-4 are mere
, trivial crap intended to fill out the letter. As for
(5), I would ask why Rae Snee did not inform
me of these details when I asked her at the end
of August for the P G Issue. Also, I distinctly
remember Mr Passmore negotiating a shady
deal (cash in hand) with a security guard who
knew the right people for 'very cheap' alarm
systems. Whatever came of that John, I don't
see you reporting it in your articles each week.
Slapped wrists all round!
What about (6)? Here I fall down, what I had
meant to write was that this is the first Freshers'
U G M for five years to be inquorate RIGHT
F R O M T H E V E R Y BEGINNING A T 1:00pm. I
notice the quoted U G M s had a good one and a
half hours of business discussed. And (7) —
trivial pooh.
I fear that if the trend of spending many
working hours devising methods of getting at
the Editor of FELIX is not averted then the
present nine to five Exec will degenerate into a
'What time does the bar open Exec'.
As for Mr Passmore, may I advise him that his
year as President will be judged on the amount
of policy passed at U G M s and the improve
ments in College life made, N O T on how many
times he is seen arseholed in the Union Bar.
TheTrish President
An apology
I would wish to retract all of the above
statements; after they were pasted down I
realised that I had been a little harsh on the
Exec. So, John, Rae and Liz, please consider all
of the above well and truly retracted.
The Exec must be very proud of their letter
as I have heard nothing else since. Rae Snee
informed IC Radio of the letter and it became a
major news item. Midweek, the Exec got the
impression that I wasn't going to print their
missive and they descended on me in force to
attempt to grill me about it. 1 I must have not satisfied their desire for
publicity for their cause, i.e. that portraying
Thanks to
All those people who helped this week, I won't
list you as I don't know some of your names.
Please come to the staff meeting at 1:00pm
today and introduce yourself in a more relaxed
atmosphere. And don't forget the Phoenix
meeting on Tuesday at 7:00pm in Stans.

fundamental questions about the very safety
of the mosque, and of the equipment of
IC Radio. It is startling that Dave Fuller was
only informed of the decis ion to site
a m o s q u e at 9 P r i n c e s G a r d e n s last
Thursday after the decision was finalised.
U is indeed woeful that the Estates Office
saw fit to go ahead without even cursory
consultation. Though it is clear that Islam
Soc have a case for a mosque, is this the
best site available? Unfortunately due to
the non-appearance of Islam Soc in the
Union Handbook or its officers in the Union
Directory, FELIX has been unable to discuss
with them their point of view.
