•SITUATIONS VACANT: 1 PRESIDENT AND 1 V.R T o n i g h t will see the climax of the p a s t w e e k s election campaign for the p o s t s o f President and VicePresident. The campaign began last Thursday evening as the candidates eager supporters pushed manifestos under students bedroom doors. Magically posters appeared in every available w i n d o w , nook and cranny on campus. The weekend proved to be very busy for the candidates as their activities included meeting students in KUB's, in the Union and at the bar. This culminated in Hii6t^nQ& on Tuesday where each candidate was given an opportunity to voice his or her opinions, carefully read from a prepared script, and then came the task of answering student questions for a period of twenty minutes. Unfortunately, towards the end, the questions became rather pointed, but never-the-less it was an interesting occasion. Rounting^° I

Meal Increases In Hall

| t i c e increases are to be expected soon on all meals in the Hall Restaurant. The Catering Office has an agreement with its major food suppliers to ep price increases down to twice a year only. The present rise takes ace a month earlier than expected.

K I

e increase will on average be about six percent on all meals. It is a consequence of the recent pay awards to drivers, the rise in the cost of petrol and diesel fuels, and the extra cost of vegetables as result of the bad winter. Three quarters of the Cornwall cauliflower op has been lost, due to the extreme conditions, for example.

Kelly Elections

ne of the elections to the Fellowship of Engineering this year is the Vice Chancellor of Surrey University, Dr. Kelly. e Fellowship was envisaged as complementary to the Royal Society to cvide an independent and authoritative forum of experienced opinion matters such as the importance of engineering to national prosperi ty. Membership is by election and is drawn from Chartered Engineers. Dr. Kelly has expressed the hope that he will be only the first of a •ruber of senior academics at Surrey to receive the title of "F.Eng."

The University sub post office opened yesterday, Thursday March 1st. The extension to the newly reopened Wavy Line shop will provide all the usual facilities of a sub post office. Mounted in the wall outside are two 5p stamp machines and free-standing outside the office is a pillar box.

•PRESIDENT DES Proposais on Student Union Financing The situation here looks s l i ^ t l y m o r e promising now that the DES has hinted at its willingness to consider other proposais. Thls bas come about largely because of the effective opposition by NUS and the Committee of Vice Chancellors and Prircipals which w e have contributed to. However, just because the DES is showing its first signs of hésitation doesn't mean that we relax our pressure. On the contrary, w e increase it, and to this effect I am sending a copy o f the report I wrote on the DES proposais to Mrs. Shirley Williams. Remember that if the proposais were implemented in their présent form it would affect everything from clubs and societies to bar prices. Talking of which BAR PRÎCE INCREASES '•Vednesday ' 8 Club Committee meeting approved unanimously (exceptisg one abstention) heavy increases in nearly ail bar prices (up to 6p. a piat) from next Monday. There are two factors In these increases : 1) Uany of our suppliers (notably Courage) have put their prices up. 2) Club Committee declded that the bar should operate at 40% gross profit to offset an expected net loss this year. Prices have been ro\inded up accordin^ly As non-voting Chalrman, I proposed that only increases caused by the first factor should bs implemented at this stage, and that the rest of the increases should be deferred until there has been a much more open r^ebate as to what sort of prices students could be expected to pay and bov this would affect o u r overall financial opérations. I proposed thls because I believe that prices that are too high are not only morally unjustifiable but are likely to lose us more money as students stay away in their droves. T^is proposai dld not even find a seconder. However, I believe that Hari appreciates the w i d e spread concern over tbese price increases and âoes not intend to implement them in full as ailowed by Club Committee. Nevertheless, you will be paying quite a bit more for your drinks from next Monday, so y o u M U S T come along to the EGM of Union Club, called by myself at the request of ten members, to discuss the bar price increases. I hope you will particípate constructively in the debate hearing in mind the w i d e r implications of holding down bar prices. To be fair to Club Committee they are in a dlfficult if not impossible position with the present financlal structure o f Union and Club.

Half Term

Activlties

I would like to thank ali those who helped me in the running of the activlties, especially those who missed lectures in order to help me. A special thanks to the Sports Hall staff, for providing activities there and helping out with the si^ervision, and Andrej Jachowski for providing painting and drawing in the Arts Workshop. NUS Conference Tlie ordinary conférence takes place Aprii 17th - 218*. ITie Agenda Document with ali the tabled motions is avallable in my office for anyone who is interested. Any amendments need to be presented to the General Meeting on Tuesday (6th March) in o r d e r that they can reach NUS by Friday 9th March.»

Mone^^ver^^aster No l'm not giving it away, but you might b e eligible for Supplementary or Unemployment Benefit. Next week there will be lots of détails as to what to do and what y o u might be entitled to. Briefly : If you are staying on site and paying rent you will get most o f it back (approx. £7), If y o u are not paying rent you will not be eligible for anything as your grant is supposed to cover the holidays. The exceptions to this will be those who have done an Industrial Year and h a v e paid sufficient National Insurance to enable them to d a i m for U n e m ployment Benefit. But for fuller détails read Bare Facts next week, should y o u have any queries then come and see me, I should b e in m y office most o f tbe time.

1. First things first. A 'thank you' to ail who hel| in any way towards Right to Freedom Week; to Jatin, Dave Orren, Vie, Jagdish, Kasser and Smita Lakbanl, not f o r g e t t i n g the committee itself Jeff, Nigel^,Sally, H n e Sandy, Alex, Stage Crew, Nick, Soul Club, Reggae Club jfd everyone else.

Meanwhile a few questions for us to chew over : 1) With the present system of calculatlng net profit for the bars, is it not inevitable that they will show a loss, since an attempt to recoup thls by raising o u r gross profit will merelv lead to a fall in turnover as students drink less o r go elsewhere?

2. Bar Prices. Some of you may have noticed the reH|nt bubbub about the proposed increases in prices of beer,] wine and spirits and an Bztraordinary General Meeting of Club members has been called for Monday week. No doubt there are a lot of conflicting reports flying ab¡ jt, so I would (together w i t h C h a r l i e ) like to teli you ' going on.

2) Does It really matter if we show a net loss on the bars, as long as we are making it up elsewhere? 3) Should w e not look at ways of making more money from Union House Amenities (eg. a couple of pool tables and another fruit machine) to offset "losses" that the bars might be m a k i n g ? 4) Should the Club subsidlze the Union (as h e r e ) or vice versa (as at most other student unions whicb have lower bar prices)? 5) Should the Union take on a greater proportion of the total salary/wage bill (at present it contributes about i), and if so, what would happen to the budgets of clubs and societies ? 6) Is it realistlc to expect a much increased capitaticm fee in view of the likely attitude of the University and the possibility of the I£S proposais looming on the horizon? ^ .

Club needs m o r e money if it is not to m a k e a loss nextL year. Tbis is a fact. Ask any accountant. There ar several ways of doing tbis:

1. 2. 3.

By increasing bar prices. By increasing revenue from another By cutting Club's expenses.

re~ I personally d o not want bar prices to go u p (!) There~ fore w e must increase revenue and/or cut expenditure. It is possible, so I am reliably informed, to increas( revenue by £2,000 p.a. by xnstalling a greater range vending machines, pinball tables, pool tables etc withöüt thou capital outlay.

As far as cutting C l u b ' s expenses is concerned, the background is rather confused. Basically, we h a v e twc accounts, Club and U n i o n . The salarles of staff who worl work In U n i o n House are divided between tbese two, dependit which one they w o r k for. Thus, one way of cutting C l i H s expenses would be to bave the Union pay the salaries people like the F i n a n c e Offlcer, the Union House Manager ïger et al. But thls would then cut the money available t>

Rod Argent. MCF281i^

Rod Argent has spent some time of late playing on other peoples records such as »variations* so this collection of his ovm material is long overdue. The album is a collection of some fine material instnimentaly with lyrics that stand up on their own without the music and some of the beat musicianship possible. Playing on the album along with Rod Argent on keyboards are Phil Collins- Drtans,Moris Pert- Percuss ion, Alphonso Johnson- EasSjGary Moone- Guitar and the albiim was produced by Robin Lumley. In other words some of the best popular "Jazz Rock" musicians of this era. The first track on side one "Home" a semititle track is about travelling the world yet wishing to be back where his heart lies. His vocal style on this track is fairly high pitch yet appealing. "Silence" the current single is keyboard based, sounding like a church organ and synthesiser looks back on a freindship which ia still haunting him, I'm in the mood is reminessent of Steely Dan in a jazz orientated song with the percussion in particular expressing various moods throughout. There follows a balladic track "Sximmer" with a soothing atmosphere created with interweaving piano and acoustic guitar "in milk and honey lands' The final track on this side is an instrumental like Brand X which is hardly suprising with Mrrs. Collins, Pert, and Lumley contributing.

Side ^ o opens with a song with ballad type lyrics "Tenderness" about the effect it can have when used at the right moment. The middle of this an instrumental which is almost a separate pie There follows "Pastorial Mentioned" which has a ' quiet intro and is about our changes of mood with the world around us. This song is certainly one o the most fascinating on the album and the accoustic guitar from Gary Moone is particulapiv "P Pero^slv based number about a song writers reaction to a bad review of some of his friendstit ends with a Sax solo from Jack Lancaster. The penultimate tra on the album "Smiling" has a spanish flavour a n ^ about memories of his relationships with differen places. Finally there is an instrumental recollection which has rhythmic keyboards. The ending is unusual with an sjiticlimax followed bv cl^ax. in all an album to be listened to S b u ^ "^y?? heard the opposite to the Siki Dee album.

Howzvzfi duz to thz pathzt¿any which perfonned in the Gceat Hall on Tuesday 27th Pehruaxy. Struggling against bad ligbting, a temperamental sound system and the starbness of the hall itself they managed to present a prcg^acme vhich althou^ not technioally marvellous, contained soine good ideas and plenty of enttusif ^um. In the ninely minutes or ao of the performance, six dances were presented. Two of these were solo works, one being unaccon5)anied, two were dioets ai^d two were group Works: all the choreography was fïom within the conçany. Of the six works the aost interesting and iusnediately accesible was the final work,"Ke6p Cleai' Of Unpropped Body". The seemingly aunlesa, nonchalent wanderings of the dancers to music by Pats Waller at varioxis timea suddenly gelled into sections of unisón dancing which were eiciting and at times funny, with some beautiiul touches slipped in uncbtrusively which gave the piece added in interest. The choreography of this work entirely justified Virginia Taylor's position as leader of the company, althou^ some of the other choreography wae promising.

The other dances presented contained some interesting ideas and good sections, but the performance was patchy the dancers for ntuch of the time lacking the authority and orispness that comes with sure technique. Talking to the dancers after the performance I found that this heterogene i tywae reflectad in their dance background: these ranged from three years of formai training at the Labon School of Movement to lessons taken hare a\d there with a variety of teachere. Unfortunately this lack of foundaticn training led to uneveness in the calibre of the dancing; however, I feel this was offset b;.- the enthusiasm shown. Overall, deepite my réservations about the content of the evening. I cannot help but admire fine people working with .-o administrative support and little equipment on prop with the guts to put on an ambitious dance programe in univereities, achoole, clubs -'nd many other venues where they are qixite likely to receive a hostile reception aid what's more without p ^ l I wish them every succès with their Arts Council grant application and coming Northern Bigland tour.

Eello, It's fun time again folks.Hopefully abov< this drivel there are two photographs of well Known actors. They are of course both in disguise (otherwise it would be too easy). If you think you can name both actors then simply put your name and the answers on á piece of A4 and drop it into the BF. box before 2.00pm. Wed. next. As last week,the winner will be the first person whos correct answer is pulled out of a hat. The winner of last weeks compétition was Rob Williams of 36E Stag Hill Court. Congratulations Rob, you can pick your tickets up from your local 'friendly' editor (e.g, Simon) from BF. or the Union at lunch times (except GM. days). There will be two more compltmentary (free) tickets to the Odeon given to the lucky winner of thls weeks compétition. Good luckî

Desr Editor. AT A TIME when we are debaiing wheiher lo slav in or get out of NUS, your last édition was hardly helpful. 1 suppose we might in time get over having our university moved twenty-four miles north lo Reading (as in the front-page lead story), but ihe characteristidy idiotie letter of Tony Greenscein. Vice-président, weifare and éducation (God help them!)of Brighton Polytechnic.did not go down well. His comiTieni that 'university students arc surely the mosl elitist of al^students' is beneaih contempi and like theréstof his pathetic letter scarceiy warrants a full reply. 1 would just like to make a couple of points. Firstly. ail of our normal concerts are open to the general public, including students from the FE sector, but this was a televisión programme, noi a 'social event*. and thc BBC had stipulated that the tickets should be distributed, free of charge, to students and staff of the university only. not suprisingly considering the title *Rock Goes to College'. This principie is fully supported by NUS who helped arrange the series. ^Ucondly. Mr. Greenstein says that he lotally agréés with what the Stranglers did in this instance'. The Stranglers made a lot of money from a cheap publicity stunt (remember the BBC had already paid them) and slaudered the eniire student body al the same lime. If this is what Mr. Greenstein agréés with. ihen one must begin to question his principies. C. W. Kennaugh Président.

Security are fed up with excuses for cars parked in unauthorised areas. _ Mr. Jordan, Chief of Security, today appealec for a little more honesty from car owners when they are approcahed about parking where they shouldn't be. Whilst Security are always Willing to make exceptions in genuine cases, for example unloading. However they often wonder which c a ^ s are the genuine ones as so many people put forward this excuse for parking in unathorised| areas such as senate. Security men, already short- staffed, have» to ignore their other duties so that they can continually open gates for students who intendtao illegally park in the residence areas, and thel^ repeated requests for Cooperation in this area1 are fruitless. So the message is Help Security and they w B l have more time to help you; that is, after allj^ why they are there.
