Cathal: "It's very hard for graduates to get jobs these days, and it is something that's changed the face of the music press.

Sean: "When we first started writing, we began seeing the song as a fairty positive entity of its own. That was the main pleasure for me. We became serious about Microdisney in about 1983. Before that we were literally knocking about doing bits and pieces at the back of pubs. We were fascinated by the idea of being abM to sit down and write a song and produce the song with limited apparatus and for it to sound as good as something you listened to last week and admired, and once you've done that you just want to go on doing it." tt has been suggested that within Microdisney's music there exists a dichotomy between their angry, political and serious lyrics and the more "middle of the road", smoother mustc. How does Catha I react to that? Catha I: "I don't accept that. We only know one way to write our music and this Is it, and we never set out to create a dichotomy or accentuate one that ever existed, so that really mystifies the shit out of me." tts been ~uggested somewhere that Microdisney are like a Genesis but with "significant lyrics". Sean reacts angrily to that. "Someone who says that kind of thing is an MA fan, someone who enjoys buying MA furniture, and I have as much respect of that opinion as I have for Thatcher's opinion. We write what we like." Microdisney are one At the last concert you played nothing from the albums before So, for you there's nothing in that, that the music doesn't reflect The Clock Comes Down The Stairs.

Richard Demarco The Job Muriel Gray Of Rector The position of Rector is an his­ torical post and there is no writ· ten constitution to state exactly w hat his/her duties are, apart from the fact that the Rector must chair the University Court, which is ! he highest Uni· varsity Committee there is. What is more important than this, though, is that the Rector should be an ombudsman for the University, protecting its interests and all its members. he or she must represent the views of the students over issues that concern them. It is an extremely important posi­ tion. Remember too that a new Rector is only elected bnce every three years. ~HUSTINGS Wed 7 pm: Staff Club Christopher Lipscomb Thur 3 pm: Library Albertina Sisulu 7 pm: Teviot ------ELECTION~l38:K----~ The Student Rectorial Election Guide THE CAN

He gave Albertina's Lipscomb has been nominated as the nearest thing. His attempt at election rests apologies for being unable to attend in person and spoke of the institutionalised upon two main arguments. Firstly, that as a student himself he is personally and terror that is at work in South Africa today.

Secondly, that Apartheid is no child's game but a sophisticated system structured for the benefit of far from being at a disadvantage, his position as a student Rector, and hence chair the few at the expense of the many and maintained by brute force.

"The level of student grants, the reduction in supplementary and banning of almost all the opposition groups in South Africa. "We, the people of housing benefits, the introduction of the Poll Tax and finally the eventual results of South Africa, will not take this lying down.

Lipscomb believes that vital to this mobilising of people are the areas of publicity At the Tuesday morning hustings at the JCM Building at King's Buildings, and information. Further to explaining the issues he would write "a weekly page in Albertina was represented by Tambe Hadeble. Tombe is a woman who knows at Midweek and Student devoted to them". He would also like to investigate the taking first hand the brutal reality of apartheid. She stressed that every act of solidarity, no of a page in the Evening News to let the people of Edinburgh know the issues and matter how small, was important. She cited the disinvestment campaign against problems facing Edinburgh University. Lipscomb stated that he "often approaches Barclays Bank as proof that protests can have an effect. She also revealed that students in Teviot Union" and finds they are in the main ignorant of the attacks on newscaster Trevor McDonald had considered standing for Rector but had higher education, "raising people's awareness at grass roots level is the crux of my withdrawn, giving his full support to Albertina.

Lipscomb said : " My final career has yet to be decided but I will give the same level Although a slightly hesitant speaker, there is no doubting Steve Talbot's sincerity and passion for the cause of Albertina Sisulu and opposition to apartheid.

Lipscomb came across at the hustings as a sincere yet somewhat naive candidate would expect in all the hustings he met with warmth and respect from nearly who appears committed but lacks the charisma that the rectorship needs. everyone in the hall.
