Scenes of students and riot police clashing could not have been or- chestrated better by the Saatchi brothers if they had the contract to sell loans to the British public. If students' excellent reasons for opposing the philistine top-up loans system are to have any chance what- soever of impingeing on the Govern- ment's plans, then the support of their parents is what matters. Friday's lurid news pictures chief- ly came courtesy of the Met's disgraceful mounted charge — the kind of thing we usually see if we look to France. But try telling that to Daily Mail readers. They will probably have good reasons for backing NUS in its campaign, but will they want to be associated with the irresponsible SWP and its petulant student wing? It's becoming painfully obvious that marches and demoes merely give NUS's enemies within and without the student world a golden opportunity to drag its name in the mud on the one hand and obscure the real arguments on the other. Surely a concentrated mobilisation of Tory-voting parent power is the only way to seriously tackle loans, and for once this is an issue where Y individual students can make a real E

-' Take It To The Top

Jacob Kramer Underwear — SNOWING OUT! Getting to the Jeans bottom of iit Groin Strain! PARADISE LOST

by MARK SEBRIGHT REVIEW BY RACHELLE FORD t all got a little too hot under the collar in hell last week when the Northern theatre performed 'a Istunning new rock musical' (their words I hasten to add), based on Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. What one actually encountered was an all singing, cell dancing cast that resembled the Nolan Sisters in tuneless confrontation with Iron Maiden. This was the overiding impression as the battle of the heavens thundered across the Civic Theatre stage. Author, Mark Sebright had replaced all the original poetry with overworked gags and Tony Blackburn pun- hlines. Satan shouted 'up yours mate,' to the Almighty, and when a young sinner was asked if he had eaten his fellow man, his curt reply was `No, I'm a vegetarian.' In addition. I'm sure that a Milton recital wouldn't have chipped in with 'better the devil you know than the one you don't' on the eve of eternal damnation. Satan, played by Quentin Churchill, made a brave attempt to hold the pro- duction together. Like a quick change artist he moved swiftly from Hitler to Des O'Connor. and even played the role of the love-sick Romeo. In the Garden of Eden, when a puppy fleshed Eve was temp- ted by the ominous apple. hanging from a tree stump by a piece of string. it was an expressionless love ritual. A crackling spea- ker interupted Adam's romantic wooing as they stumbled through an over rehearsed ballet sequence. It was an enthusiastic produc- tion with some individual talent. The cast battled through severe sound problems, and 'carried' God, who couldn't sing. Chasing Rainbows, the final song, was unfortunately exactly what the company were doing. It re- mains to be seen if Mr Sebright will find his silver lining.

BOX 157, LEEDS LS1 1LJH TEL: (0532) 439071 or 434727 Last week's confrontation between students and police on the doorsteps of the Commons has provided NUS's case with the worst kind of publicity. Scenes of students and riot police clashing could not have been or- chestrated better by the Saatchi brothers if they had the contract to sell loans to the British public. If students' excellent reasons for opposing the philistine top-up loans system are to have any chance what- soever of impingeing on the Govern- ment's plans, then the support of their parents is what matters. Friday's lurid news pictures chief- ly came courtesy of the Met's disgraceful mounted charge — the kind of thing we usually see if we look to France. But try telling that to Daily Mail readers. They will probably have good reasons for backing NUS in its campaign, but will they want to be associated with the irresponsible SWP and its petulant student wing? It's becoming painfully obvious that marches and demoes merely give NUS's enemies within and without the student world a golden opportunity to drag its name in the mud on the one hand and obscure the real arguments on the other. Surely a concentrated mobilisation of Tory-voting parent power is the only way to seriously tackle loans, and for once this is an issue where EY
