Until February 15 it holds an exhibition staged by the Institute of Contemporary Arts under the title of "Play Orbit'. The purpose of the exhibition is to try and illustrate some of the new toys and "playables" now available to both young and old. In the first of a number of brightly coloured rooms is arranged the smaller pieces of the exhibition. These include a number of psychedelic jigsaws (very difficult), some medi- ocre dolls and puzzles, but also two "Teddy Bears" with rubber John Betjeman faces. The latter "Betjeman Dolls by John Haworth" may be pulled into almost any deformity, with little difficulty.

Current Diversification At their meeting on October 29th, the Board of Studies asked the Pro-Rector to oversee the current arrangements for the provision of non-technical studies in the college and, by means of regular meetings with the staff involved in these activities, to explore what can be done to meet the increasing demand for these studies. Administrative support is being provided for the Pro- Rector by the General Studies Office. Mr. Goodlad of the Electrical Engineering Department is gathering information and convening informal meetings of interested persons.
