mSmmm JULIE EGE It III OPENS FETE

Carnival Week began at midnight on Friday, 12th Feb. at the Lyceum, and ended on Saturday with the incredible fete opened by the equally impressive Miss Julie Ege. The Lyceum all-nighter was attended by an appreci- ative audience of around 1600.

Perhaps because of its youth, Essex university seems to lack a collective personal- ity or character. The London School of Economics has its extremists, its cramped streets and buildings; IC has its union bar and spread- eagled campus. Essex lacks nothing in facilities or in its students, or come to that even in its bad publicity.
