THE NEWSPAPER OF IMPERIAL COLLEGE UNION Friday, November 30th, 1979 Issue No. 536 UGM REPORT The news was announced at the UGM last Tuesday that the students at IC halls of residence face an increase of £1.00a week on their rent to make up for the £70,000 shortfall incurred by the halls due to a lack of conference bookings during the summer vacation, the student houses and Hamlet Gardens, which made a profit, were exempted from this increase but they will be hit by the decrease in the furnishing allowance which is used on occasions to replace old or buy new essential equipment such as cookers, washing machines and fridges. The Union Haldane Library Committee has still not reached any agreement with the College HLC as to the three records and the cassette that the CHLC are witholding from Photo by Colin Palmer the library because they feel they are Next Week is the Special 30th 'unsuitable'.

ENVIRONMENTAL WEEK CONTINUES FRIDAY 30th NOVEMBER 7.00pm PHYSICS LT 1 Chemical aspects of Farming and Food Production With 50,000 hectares of land in Britain being lost each year to roads and expanding towns, efficient agricultural production is a growing necessity in Britain. In fact we are remarkably successfal and are with Holland,the most efficient farmers in Europe. But what is the cost? Energy intensive fertilisers have to be used in increasing quantities, pests are becoming resistant to the chemicals used against them, not to mention nitrate contamination of our water supplies, serious impact on our wildlife and loss of attractive hedgerows. What is the agricultural future for Britain? ICU's Environmental Week Presents Mr. R.G. Hughes (Senior Agronomist) and Dr. J. McGuinness (Senior Scientific Officer) from ADAS and Mr. Widdowson from the Soil Association,in what promises to be a lively and informative discussion on the

Adventure playgrounds give kids from heavily built up areas a place of their own to play, meet their friends and develop in. As such they provide a necessary focus for these children. We looked at many of the adventure playgrounds in London, the good and the bad. We chose Holly Street because it is completely closed at the moment. A lot of work needs to be done, new structures need to be built, a piece of waste land has to be dug over to make a garden, murals need painting. The kids themselves will help too but taeres too much for them to do on their own. Lets get Holly Street open for the children of Hackney again. We're all meeting under the Beit Archway at 10.30am on Saturday and Sunday morning or at Holly Street, Hackney, E8 at 11.30am. Dress up warmly and bring a friend it'll be lots of fun.

TRANSPORT POLICY . ^1 Cheap energy and consumer society gave rise to suburban sprawl and the decay of inner cities during the 50's in the U.S.A. Until recently it was thought that U.K. cities were following the same pattern. This is now being questioned as is the influence of transport urban patterns. In the midst of this are ideas of office decentralisation, new town growth and inner city decay.

London is a city which was built by and for an empire, one collapse of which has left an unnecessarily large capital city for the U.K. faced,with congestion and increasing energy prices

London's Transport Policy is probably the most important single factor affecting the life of its inhabitants and where they live and work.

Designing the future of London Transport is not, in the face of all these problems, an easy task.

The debate with Nick Lester from Transport 2000 and Herbert Sandford from the GLC, should expand these problems and hopefully illuminate various proposed solutions. TUES 4th DEC MRS JENNIFER lpm JENKINS MECH ENG 220

13 THIS SUNDAY I.C. RADIO CELEBRATES:

FERIAli COLLEGE One year of Medium Wave DAOQO transmissions on 301m /999kHz.

I.C. Radio started five years ago when programmes were recorded on a disco console and broadcast once a week to the J.C.R. Programme quantity and quality increaced gradually. In 1977 a line was installed to Stan's bar; the present Station Manager, Harvey Nadin presented the first programme to there. Since then severel other outlets have been fitted around College. Non - music programming is an imporant part of our schedule, and the News service, which started about two years ago, provides College news and information which might be of interest to students. Following a sucessful application to the Home Office for a test licence, a transmitter was built during 1978 to broadcast to the Halls of Residence around Prince's Gardens; After a Home Office test a licence was granted on 30th November last, and regular transmissions began two days later. You can look back at the progress of the station during the past year at 6pm on Sunday in Focus. Sarah Talbot presents the first of the Birthday programmes. Jeremy Nunns Photo by Jeremy Nunns

I say amazing, as it is quite strange how a television series which started way back in 1966 can survive to become a film and still have the same stars. Older, in different uniforms and aboard a new Enterprise, Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura, McCoy and even Nurse Chappel are all still there to save the Earth from certain destruction. Admitted Kirk is now an Admiral, Captain Dekker runs the Enterprise and there is a bald, female navigator, but things are bound to be just the same. However, I have been informed that the special effects are very realistic (ie expensive) and include a photon torpedo being created and fired down a tube on the Enterprise. I hope to review the film fully in the last FELIX of term, as

A star-studded cast is included for good measure with some new and technically difficult special effects. I hope it's worthwhile. All in all, December looks quite promising with a broad range of films to cover most tastes. Incidently, it is rumoured that besides The Sound of Music, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, etc, we may see 2001: A Space Odyssey on televison over Christmas. A real classic- not to be missed. Mark Smith

16 played at Imperial for the lunch hour concerts. The Mendelssohn concerto is one of the best known and best loved of concertos in all musical circles. Discrete interplay between soloist and orchestra is of course essential and care must be taken that the orchestra does not simply accompany the IHPERIKL. soloist but also complements her. Miss Udagawa and ICSO performed the concerto magnificently. Although the strings were occasionally blurred and in the last movement the wind players-had difficulty in matching the soloist's cracking pace, it was nonetheless a striking performance and a C OLL ECjE credit to all those involved. The orchestra completed the concert with the second symphony in E minor by Rachmaninov, an extended work requiring, one would have thought, both skill and experience among the players. This was an ekhPHOhM exciting and daring undertaking for the College orchestra and must have been a tremendous challenge to conductor and players alike. The symphony, written at the turn of the last century, abounds with rich and ORCHE5TRIA romantic melodies which are carried through the string sections while the wind groups in rather a stark contrast pronounce urgent demanding themes.
