IC Radio Imperial College Radio is the only student radio station in London, and OLD CENTRALIANS broadcasts on 301metres (999kHz) medium wave to the Halls ot Residence round Princes Gardens. If you are interested in the station then you are very welcome to drop into our main studios (beside the Southside Shop, underneath the College end of Southside) at anytime during lunchtimes or throughout the evening. If you would like to present programmes, you're especially welcome, and we'll show you how to use the studio equipment and give you some advice on how to put a programme together. Another way to get involved is simply to phone in requests, which we will try to play as soon as possible (usually within a very few minutes)—so if you're in the Southside or Linstead Bar during the evening dial 3440 on the internal phone for the music you want to hear.

Asummary of the results is as follows. In the Middlesex Premier Division the first team finished equal third or points and beat Wood Green in the process. (We were the only team in the whole country to do so.) The second team finished second in the second division and have gained promotion. We were winners and runners-up in the London University Pugh Cup and in the Intercollegiate League our three teams finished third, first, and third respectively. The College Championship was a three-way tie between D. B. Lund (Maths 1), M. McCall (Physics 1) and R.A. Coles (Maths 3). Our first event of this season was the Freshers' Lightning tournament on Monday, October 12. Forty-two people entered and a nine round swiss competition was played. Most of the strongest players had surprise defeats in the early rounds and with a good win in the last round Jeremy Fraser-Mitchell from Physics won with 772/9. Other leading results were 2-4: M.G. Benson, D.B. Lund, R.L. Smith; 7/9 5: R. Hasan 6>/2/9. FELIX, October 23, 1981 Page 7 H.G.
