Founded in 1949 The Newspaper of Imperial College Union DUCK-BILLED PLATYPUS WINS UNIVERSITY CHALLENGE

IC continued their magnificent run of success in University Challenge with two more victories. A coach load of supporters travelled with the team to the Granada Television Studios in Manchester. Their first opponents were the all-male Aberdeen University team who made an impressive start and raced to a 0-45 lead. However. IC soon settled down and scored 130 points without reply before Aberdeen levelled the score around the hall-way mark. Then the Aberdeen challenge petered out and IC ran ahead to victory with a final score of 240 to 175.

The victorious Imperial College team.

The next game against the mixed team from Reading University was much closer and produced a classic finish. With twenty seconds remaining IC were five points behind when Aliin Griffiths correctly answered "duck-billed platypus" to a starter for ten. This proved to be the final scoring answer of the game which IC had narrowly won 180- 175. The winning team was Tim Pigden. Cordon Masierlon. Alun Griffiths and Martin S. Taylor (Captain).

There's a certain mathematical precision about the way my barber works: he offers any of seven different styles and for each he cuts off a certain number of grams of hair according to the following. Long and shaggy (the 'Marco Ledwold' look), 26 grams cut off. Long and not-so-shaggy (the 'Nick Morton'), 27 grams cut off. Short and sophisticated (the 'Barney McCabe'), 36 grams cut off. Short and very sophisticated (the 'Mark Smith'), 37 grams cut off. Pan-American (clipper right over the top), 47 grams cut off. Short back and polish (the 'Eric Brown'), 54 grams cut off. The complete Dave Gayer, 55 grams cut off. After a fairly brisk day's trade last week, he swept up just 150 grams of offcuts. What range of styles had his customers requested?

The West London Chaplaincy operates primarily through a number of small groups in Imperial College, the Royal College of Music and Queen Elizabeth Col.ege. In Imperial College there is a Chaplaincy group which meets regularly each week (usually over a meal) in most departments and halls of residence. During Contact Week a team of people whose photographs you see below are coming to the colleges as guests of the Chaplaincy groups which meet there. They will be living in halls of residence and working with the groups that meet there and in the various departments. The aim of the week is to deepen the life of the Chaplaincy groups, to invite others to become involved in the groups and to encourage wider discussion and debate within the halls and departments. A number of informal discussions involving the Contact Week team members will be taking place throughout the week in most halls and departments in Imperial College and in the other two colleges. There will also be a number of events arranged on a College-wide basis (see programme).
