After a summer of being

stabbed in the back, stu-

dents across the country

ed round and confronted their

cker last Saturday. Forty-thou-

students in fourteen towns and

opposition to the introduction of

large police presence was obvi-

but the well organised event

passed wihtout incident. Although

the marchers were noisy, deter-

mined to make their voices heard,

they were generally good natured.

Tourists lined the route to watch the

sea of red and white placards flow

past.

At the end of the hour long march

the demonstrators gathered at thefoot of Nelsons Column to hear

several speakers address the crowd.

Among these were Labours Dianne

Abbott MP and Simon Hughes MP

of the Liberal Democrats.

Abbott spoke out against the gov-

erenment in which she serves and

described how her own university

education would not have been pos-

sible without government funding.

Simon Hughes gave the most rous-

ing speech of the day. He urged the

crowd to continue the protest

against the governments proposals,

and not allow it to rest with this

show of disapproval against theprice being placed on a university

education.

through the streets of

Southampton and attended a rally

where opposition MPs spoke

against the proposals and declared

that they would fight the Bill at

every stage. A Labour MP who was

due to speak pulled out minutes

after the march had begun.

Saturday shoppers in Southampton

were astonished to witness the

strength of emotion amongst stu-

dents as they chanted Oi! Blair!

Fees arent fair! This was especial-

ly poignant, considering that those

students marching will not them-

selves be affected by the fees.

Unlike the present government,

they have first

hand experience

of the financial

h a r d s h i p

imposed by the Student Loan sys-

tem.

Cat Myers, a speaker from the

National Union of Students, told the

Southampton rally that Saturday

was not the end of the campaign,

but the start of a time-bomb for the

government. She said that students

would not forget the hypocrisy of a

party which had relied on the stu-

dent vote, only to ignore their plight

now.

The overwhelming feeling amongst

protesters was that the fight is not

over.

third student has died from

meningitis at Southampton

University on Sunday,resulting in a widespread vaccina-

tion programme covering as many

as four thousand people.

The first death occurred on the 11th

October, and all who have died so

far were first years. There have

been six identified cases of menin-

gitis within Southampton

University. On the advice of the

local health authority, an antibiotics

and immunisation programme, cur-

rently offered to all Southampton-

based first-year undergrads at

Southampton and all those living in

University halls of residence or

working in those halls, but due to

widespread concern the University

is now offering the programme to

all other students and staff of the

University. The Universitys Vice-

Chancellor, Professor Newby said

that the whole University is

shocked.. Our main concerns now

are for our students and staff.

At present the only way to prevent

an outbreak here at Surrey is vigi-

lance. Please look out for yourself

and the other people you live with.

Meningitis is an acute condition and

swift action has to be taken if a full

recovery is to be achieved.

Meningitis kills in a matter of hours.

Meningitis: Look out for

your mateKnowing the signs of meningitis

can help you and your friends get

help as soon as possible. The key

things to look out for are:

n Fever/Vomiting

n Drowsiness

n Confusion

n A severe headache

n Stiff neck and/or back pains

n Dislike of bright lights

n A rash which will not disappear when a cold glass is pressed

against it

If you notice these symptons then

see your doctor immediately, or

Ports and motorways were

blocked in France by lorry

drivers on Monday as part of

a national campaign. They have

barricaded many of the major roadsto prevent other lorries getting to

their destinations, all due to a dis-

pute over pay rises and working

hours.

The truckers disrupted roads last

year over the same demands, caus-

ing millions of pounds of lost rev-

enue to companies in this countryand abroad. Although they owe

compensation to British companies,

little has been paid.

This year the French Drivers are

asking again for a pay rise, reject-

ing the French Governments 5%

offer. The blockades seem unlike-

ly to cause as much disruption as

last year with many drivers getting

through. Oasis, however, havealready had to cancel their 3 Paris

gigs as their equipment was

stopped at the barriers, and Phil

Collins has also cancelled his

shows.

Letters/Editorial Friday 7th November 1997 n

LettersShooting at cars

Dear Editor,Driving home in the early hours of

an icy Thursday morning my car

was fired at with paintballs as I left

the university grounds. I realise that

this was a prank by a couple of

idiots with nothing better to do thanhide in the bushes on a freezing cold

night, firing blobs of paint at pass-

ing cars. However, had this hap-

pened to someone else it could have

distracted them from their driving

or frightened a lone driver.

On an icy night such as this the con-

sequences of these distractions are

potentially dangerous. Should these

juveniles move their sights to

motorcyclists or other, more vulner-

able, road users the consequences

could be far more serious. My only

request to these people is: play your

war games in a damp field, dont

play with the traffic.

Regards,

Stuart Parker.

Whats in a course.

Dear Editor,In response to What do dancersdo, it is not surprising to learn thatthey write essays, as most studentsdo have to at some point! Statingthis fact does not strengthen hercase to be accepted. As a sociologist(constantly writing essays) I wasamused by the fact that my subjectwas used to legitimise Dance and

Cultures status as an academic

subject. as strangely enough, we too

have a dubious rating in the eyes of

the more hard scientific students

of Surrey, but that letter inadvertent-

ly boosted our standings perhaps

the author might renew her socio-logical studies with a shift in focus

to The Frankfurt School theorists it

may alter her attitude somewhat.

There are there are a lot of stereo-

typical perceptions of most subjects

of the Human Faculty, (and of oth-

ers) but it always more prudent to

ignore these views or to use them to

strengthen ones resolve. There is

no point in becoming insecure or

paranoid, which the letter did hint

at. Every subject has its merit,

Dance may be aesthetically enrich-

ing, sociology my mould policy

decisions and science may produce

improvements in medical or techno-

logical techniques. Each has a part

to play, perhaps next time the authorfeels she has to verbalise a justifica-

tion of her subject she should intro-

duce a little Durkheim (revise that

social theory!) into conversation.

She shouldnt really waste her time

bothering with people who are obvi-

ously enjoying winding her up.

Oh yes - and for the record not all

Sociologists are Marxist feminists -

but some of us do wear lycra...

a Goofman Fan

Wheres the crossword?

Dear Editor,I write with disappointment in lastFridays bare facts. Myself andtwo final year Tonmeister studentshave, in recent weeks, developed aregular social event. After ademanding lecture on Friday morn-

ing, we visit my KUB, and drink a

pot of Kenyan coffee while com-

pleting the bare Facts crossword.

However, despite desperately

searching through last weeks edi-

tion, there was no crossword to be

found. we had to resort to the previ-

ous Sunday Time crossword, kindly

tainment and challenging Friday

WhatYour Union isDoing to Try and MakeThings Better For

Students

Cuppa Tea?

Dear EditorI would like to echo the commentsof Karen Swales and James Bullerfrom the last few editions of BareFacts about the excessive behav-iour on the dancefloor of some stu-dents at the Friday Night Out. I too

believe that more often than not, the

Union is a dangerous place to be

during a disco or band. If action is

not taken soon, then someone could

get hurt badly during these events. I

believe that most of this boisterousbehaviour can be attributed to alco-

hol, and that it is time the Union

took a more responsible attitude

towards its sale. If you approach

any of the bars in the union, you are

instantly barraged with wide choice

of alcoholic drinks, with little or no

emphasis on soft drinks. There are

many good quality low alcohol and

no alcohol beers available, why

does the Union not sell them as vig-

orously as it does Fosters or

Kronenbourg? Why is there no tea

or coffee available during a disco?

The bars, however, are not the sole

culprits in my eyes. It would seem

that all the DJs who play in the

Union, are given a remit to make

people jump about as much as pos-sible - hence creating the problems

that we have. I would suggest that if

the situation was such that the

crowd were getting over-enthusi-

astic then why not turn the music

off for five minutes? everybody

could then calm down. Why not

intersperse chart music with some

light classics - say for ten minutes

in every hour. The volume of the

music is also excessive, why do we

need all these speakers? Would a

simple hi-fi not suffice?

I would strongly suggest that Union

management take heed of these

comments, and those of the previ-

ous weeks - before somebody gets

hurt.

es remember the Student

Represntative Council con-troversy, well its been sort-

ed out. What used to be known as

the General Meeting of the

Students Union is now officially

the Student Council. All Union

officers, course reps and a represen-

tative from each sports club and

Union society must attend.

Everyone else, who dont hold any

of these positions, will also be wel-

come as it meeting is for a ll students

to come along and find out whats

going on in their Union, raise any

questions and suggest any ideas.

The meeting is to be held on

Thursday Week 10 at 6pm in LTD, it

will only last an hour (ish) and you

can find out what the plans are forthe rest of this semster and the sec-

ond semester. Remember that one

person can represent only one activ-

ity and to bring your friends or other

members of the society or club.

Youll never know what you might

find out - theres been some interets-

ing stuff going on in the Union late-

ly. Oh and lots more free stuff to

give away again including vouchers,

t-shirts and maybe even a free

SHAG. See you there.

ar Russyou think its worth doing astgraduate degree?ar Johngoing to throw the ball back into your court and askyou think its worth it? In other words, why has ite into your mind in the first place? For example,may be attracted by the prospect of remaining a stu-. Or maybe you think it would give you a breath-

space before deciding what career to follow.

haps youre thinking it might improve your employ-

t prospects, or, that you ought to stay on simply

ause, after all, doesnt everyone stay on who gets a

d degree?!

y you can answer some of these questions. What I

try to do is to give you some idea of the implica-

s for your career if you take certain courses of

on. The first piece of advice I can give you is to

k about what career youd like to follow and then

k backwards. For some careers its helpful to have

stgraduate qualification, for others its not.

example, if you see yourself in a long term research

er, then a PhD is a tremendous asset since it con-

s your ability to carry out effective research. It also

ns you can compete more effectively with col-

ues when promotion opportunities come up.

On the other hand, you may be considering a career

which requires more specialised knowledge than your

first degree provided. Masters courses are tailor-madeto meet these demands with virtually every subject from

actuarial work to zoology covered in one course or

another.

It cant be denied that having a postgraduate degree

does improve your employment prospects. Only 4% of

UK postgrads were unemployed in 1996 compared to

7% of undergraduates. Mind you its still possible to go

down a path which makes things worse for you. I shall

never forget a PhD entomologist I once interviewed

who was totally dedicated to finding a job working with

butterflies. Hed already been looking for 18 months

when I first met him. Who knows, maybe he made it.

But theres a lesson to be learned there for anyone con-

sidering postgraduate study - think about where it might

lead you. A lot of people drift into further degrees with-

out a clue whats at the end of it. That can be an expen-

sive mistake if you have to finance it yourself.

My final bit of advice is this. Most directors of post-

graduate courses know how successful their previous

students have been in obtaining employment. Why not

ask them for this information before you commit your-

self. If they are reluctant to tell you, perhaps its

because many of their former students are still jobhunt-

ing.

6/12

THE VAN PELT - Sultans ofSentiment (Gern Blandsten)This CD is becoming one of myfavorite demos. Everything in this bandis amazing, the bass, guitars, voice,distortion, and most of all the lyrics.There was something special abouttheir music. It was simple in both tex-ture and structure, yet it was amazinglyvivid, creating images from their lyricslike no one Id seen before. Most songsfollow a talkative format, whichreminds me of the divine Bob Dylan. Ipersonally like Nanzen Kills A Cat, ithas a warm and fuzzy acoustic beat.This album is an admirable, challeng-ing and most probably will be clich-free indie triumph! 9/10 D.A.

V/A - Total Science (Mecca)This is a tripped out drumnbass selec-tion by Darren Jay that tantilises theears and plays with the mind. This isone of the first albums of its type that Ihave heard that isnt mixed in. This isno great downfall, though, as there aresome amazing tunes by Dr.S.Gachet,Ellis Dee and E-Z Rollers, amongstothers. This is not your upfront danceyour bollocks off drumnbass, but atremendous journey through the intelli-

gent sounds of D&B. Filled withrolling bass-lines and warped samplesalongside deep, twisting tracks, this iscertainly a must for all theL.T.J.Bukem, Adam F or Roni Sizefans (all of which featured on the pre-vious volume), as the intelligent soundsare now really beginning to make theirmark on the scene. Those that preferthe more upfront D & B should buythis for the after club vibe, to chill to.Im not a great D & B fan, but this iscertainly a welcome addition to mycollection, and will be in my CD playerfor a while to come yet. 8/10 M.B.

V/A - The Hits Hurt (Domino)A cool mix of twisted bands rangingfrom the blood rockin Sebadoh to thesoft-grunge Pastels that will definitely

turn you autistic! This album has themost successful blend of crashpop, teenfreedom rock and ghost riders bake apie rock n roll that has ever graced ahi-fi. Psychic Driving by FlyingSaucer Attack is a mesmerising word-less blur. The pleasant surprise for me,are Pavements angular and twitchyBlue Hawaiian. Smogs I was aStranger, his rhapsody about goinginto a strange town, is my favouritesong and Silver Jews sparklingly syn-thetic chamber-pop trifle Black andBrown Blues. If youre feelinganguished, raged, gloom, whatever,then this CD is for you. 8/10 G.C.

V/A - Blow Up (Blow Up)Everyone turned their nose up at thisCD in the Barefacts office sorryfolks, but you missed out on one hellof an album here. Did you enjoy thePulp Fiction soundtrack? Yes? You willsimply love this! Ranging from warm

mellow tune like the Butthole Surfersefforts, to cool jazz, to hectic dancerhythms: Zeds dead baby! This CD isstunning... boogie on everybody! 8/10G.C.

ECHOBELLY - Lustra (Sony)

After doing great things (sic) at theheight of the britpop craze Echobellyreturn with a more epic, thoughtful,album. Lustra has more in commonwith their debut album, E.G.O, thanthe more pop, On. This is no badthing as songs like, Bulldog Baby,are crying out to be indie anthems.There is, unfortunately, a bit of anOasis influence poking through onsome tracks. However, just as youthink its all going a bit Noelrocktracks like, The World Is Flat, pullyou back into the world of Echobellyindiepop. Echobellys third album seesthe band experimenting with a broadrange of styles not usually associatedwith them, making this both diverseand enjoyable. 8/10 A.T.

RECOIL - Unsound Methods (Mute)After leaving Depeche Mode due tounsatisfactory internal working condi-tions, keyboardist/drummer AlanWilder has been able to devote all hiscreative energies to UnsoundMethods the first fully fledgedRecoil LP. He pieced together ninehaunting and sultry tracks that will takeyou to the edge of unease, throughdark, dub infected landscapes, rever-berating with shivering piano, seduc-tive strings and a deep electronic pulsethat will surely make you sleep withthe lights on! Guest vocalist, DouglasMcCarthy, the former Nitzer Ebbsinger, opens the album with Incubus,whose mood was inspired by FrancisFord Coppolas film ApocalypseNow, and includes a few lines of dia-

logue from it. I dislike the rest of thetracks, myself but inclined to give AlanWilder the benefit of the doubt. He has

stood hisground, proudlywaving the tat-tered flag ofelectronic musicthrough adecade of hip-hop and theSeattle invasion.7/10 D.A.

MOBY - I LikeTo Score(Mute)This combina-tion of Mobysbest film music,

old and new, isalso a combina-tion of his vari-ous styles ofmusic.Including hisearly influencesof acid house tohis controver-sial punk rock

style. With tracks like Oil 1 and theJames Bond Theme which just shoutat you, to tracks like New DawnFades which whispers quietly to you.The thing about I Like To Score, isthat it is not the greatest soundtrack

hits, it is a Moby album nothing more,nothing less. Moby reckons that hedoesnt really go to see movies thatoften, or listens to film music whichshows in this compilation. This albumshould catch the tastes of all the dancefreaks, as well as some outsiders who

just want something to mellow out to.7/10 K.M.

cover of this single wasnt very excit-ut the music on it is gorgeous in ady and dark kind of way. This is quali-dont want to turn it off! 8/10 G.T.

RTHERN UPROAR - Goodbyevenly)

of a heartwrenching epic, completestrings, brass, twangy guitars and har-es in the key of ahhhh. Everything we

has gone ... so goodbye sings Leon asls your bedroom with acquiescent

t and melts you into autumn.eous. 8/10 H.B.

WN OF THE REPLICANTS - RhinoE.P. (EastWest)t communicating with the radar in your, says Paul Vickers, lead singer of this

futuristic guitar group. The four tracks allfeature buzzes and odd effects. Their styleis similar to other straight guitar bands butwith a little extra, oomph! 8/10 A.T

THEAUDIENCE - I Got The

Wherewithal (Elleffe)Janet Elliss daughter fronts this band,where the Sundays meet The BeautifulSouth. Good songs and good arrangements,interesting and promising. 7/10 R.W.

LUSCIOUS JACKSON - Under Your

Skin (Grand Royal)An uninspiring piece of guitar driven pop. Itis quite unremarkable. Two of the remixes

are not bad but the Bentley Rhythm AceMix is a let down. 6/10 I.P.

LAMBCHOP - Your Sucking Funny Day(City Slang)An brilliant single with the vibe to start aparty anywhere. The group renown for itslaconic style has finally created a numberthat has the potential to bring them those

huge earnings othersenjoy. The track isboth funky and jazzyand is summed up bythe line : Its so sim-ple yet so stupidbut steady.. 6/10C.H.

WAY OUT WEST -Ajare

(Deconstruction)A dance classic witha night club flavour.This commercial tunemakes use of vocalswhich provide anupbeat, uplifting vibeto the saucy rhythmsof the single. Sadlylike most dance tunesthe entire sequence ispredictable from theuplifting intro to thebreak beat sampling.However it makesyou want to boogieon down and has allthe makings of a clubhit song. 5/10 C.H.

16 HORSE POWER

- Coal Black Horses

(A&M)

The band sure put out some weird stuff.This music gives you the feeling of being in

the middle of a wilderness. The song withthe references to Hey would be very muchin with the Horses in the bands name andtitle track if they were singing Hay. 5/10G.T.

DJ RON - Quintessence EP (Parousia)Jungle.....so many types it kinda hard to cat-egorise this flavour. Most of the beats areexpected, reserved and in retrospect, dull.The Album has its moments though; listenout for Zulu March, a personal favourite. Idont see this artist topping the charts quiteyet, his music isnt a commercial swing.Something for the frustrated individual.5/10 I.U.

EARL BRUTUS - The S.A.S And TheGlam That Goes With It (Fruition)

Mildly amusing - yes. Added dance foray inthe middle - yes. Inspiring and exciting -no. Band capable of better - possibly. 4/10D.J.

SUPER 8 - Lately (Naked)A slow, moving tune that sounds like Ash,unlike Ash this sounds crap. 4/10 F.F.

VIOLET Violet (Violet)Dios mio! It all seem like one big song runtogether with no variation, or interestingtwists. It gets on my nerves. 4/10 D.A.

UNUN - I See Red (Deceptive)A sort of mixture of Republica with Blondiefrom these Icelandic hopefuls. My matethinks its quite funky but I think it sucks.4/10 A.M.

DJ Q - Landing Soon On A Planet Near

You (Go Beat)A dark and moody but ultimately dull EP ofDetroit style techno from Glaswegian PaulFlynn. Fans of him will be pleased; mostpeople will be bored. 3/10 A.M.

ALABAMA 3 - The Speed Of The SoundOf Loneliness (Elemental)Most recently covered by Nanci Griffith,The Sound Of The Speed Of Loneliness isgiven frighteningly grotchy makeover... itsnot often covers get to be as good as theoriginal. 3/10 G.C.

THE CURE- Galore -The Singles1987 - 1997(Fiction)A classiccompilationfrom thishighly suc-cessful band.This collec-tion is a realmust for any-one who isalready a fanof The Cure(as long asthey haventalready bought all the singles on the CD of course) and the CD has loads to offerpeople who arent fans. Prepare to be converted! As an extra treat, the CD alsocontains the bands latest single Wrong Number which is probably not one oftheir best and sounds a bit weird the first couple of times that you hear it. It iscatchy but not quite up to the standards of some of their classics such as FridayIm In Love when they are put on the same CD. Overall, this compilation com-mands some real respect. 9/10 G.T.

ALBUM OF THE WEEK

THE SHIRE-HORSES - TheWorst Album InThe World...Ever (EastWest)A collection oftracks from theShirehorses andtheir other incar-nations throughthe ages. Theymust be reallypissed off that somany lesser acts(Kula Shaker,Placebo, BabyBird, TheSeahorses) havetaken these trade-mark songs, com-mercialised themand gone on to the

heights of fame while the Shirehorses have remained in a pub inBolton. A work of genius... in their own minds. 9/10 R.W.

LABRADFORD - Mi Media Naranja(Blast First)

With this their fourth album, the trio fromVirginia have once again broadened theirhorizons and varied their sound while at thesame time maintaining their distinct identity.Mi Media Naranja (my other half) is themost cinematic of their recordings to date..very soothing. 7/10 G.C.DJ Q - Face The Music (Fitter)

Fusing mainstream dance with a little trance,DJ Q has produced a reasonable cross-overpiece of work. Hip-hop rhythms and funkybass lines make the tunes on this suitable forany serious clubbers collection. 7/10 G.C.ELCKA - Rubbernecking (Island)For a debut album, this isnt bad. These new-comers are a group to watch; they havereceived good reviews, especially from themusic magazines. Supercharged is a bril-liant opening track one the album. A groupto watch - theyll be a big mainstream Indiegroup. 7/10 G.D.NIGEL BENN/ DJ RIDE - UK SpeedGarage Vol 1 (Powerhouse)

It IS the boxer! This compilation isnt whatId call representative of UK Speed Garagein general, but does contain some amazingmixes. If you havent bought a Speed Garagealbum yet, look out for this one as there aresome stunners on it. 6/10 M.B.BLINK 182 - Dude Ranch (MCA/Cargo)

This is an interesting album. The punk-like,speed drumming, and problem-teenagerlyrics mesh together into a roller-coaster rideof an album. 6/10 M.B.LOUISE -Woman In Me (EMI)A natural progression from Eternal....theresnothing really exciting in this new album.Her somewhat uplifting pop and semi-funkygrooves kinda get to work in the brain. Lovesongs and corny songs are the main ingredi-ents of this album. 6/10 I.UV/A - TRAINSPOTTING 2 (EMI)This is a true follow-up to the soundtrack; itincludes some songs which were in the filmbut not on the soundtrack, some which wereintended to be in the film and a few tracksdear to Irvine Welsh and the makers of thefilm, including Choose Life by the PFProject, built around Rentons speech in thefilm. 6/10 T.V.EMPEROR SLY - Sparking Up (Zip Dog)This gargantuan slab of dub techno is a

rather disappointing way of bringing dancemusic. If I hadnt looked at the back cover ofthis album, I might have thought that theywere playing the same song over and overagain. 5/10 D.A.SUGAR RAY - Floored (EastWest)Arriving on a wave of hype, Sugar Ray are acrossover between funk-metal and rap, andthey are not very good, at all. Only one songFly (featuring Super Cat) is any cop. 2/10R.W.

ALBUMS ROUND-UP

E BEEKEEPERS - Killer Cure (Beggars Banquet)another totally ace single from the Derby boys. Punkywith swoonsome harmonies over razor sharp guitars.e simply brilliant. 9/10 R.W.

Cinema and Arts Friday 7th November 1997 n

Splatch; a sea of band T-shirtswith kids in them who will beback in school uniform by

day. Created by local hero Barney,se name gets chanted between thes. You feel like theyre there foras much as for the music. The kidsBarney, Barney loves the kids andall love the bands. Splatch is just

ng for cynicism. Maybe if we justed at what was on-stage, four goodplaying live, then the sneers mayn, because what the kids havee to see are good musicians andare going for it. Those who sneer

robably the ones that fail to scrapether any enthusiasm when bandsat our own union. The kids (andthe majority are still at school) goand give the performers as good as they get. Honey Butcher

can always tell when there is atly goth band on the bill. Thespecting venue becomes a magnetll fifteen year olds who are, like,y unhappy and showangst by wearinglyn Manson T-shirts.sea of black T-shirtssilver nail varnishter took the stage.ter are the anti-goth!ter are guitar pop!loads of self confi-

e the band ploughedugh their half hourncouraging thed to pogo along. By

the third song thecrowd had lightened upand bounced around totheir tunes. The actualmusic was a bit bland,kind of like 3 ColoursRed but happier. Nextup were Garageland.The 4 piece belted out

their own take on dronerock. The hammeringguitar just went straightthrough you. The kidsup the front stopped

jumping up and down, cocked theirheads to one side and thought, hmmm,interesting. The third band on werethe powerfully dark female frontedFeline. The crowd rocked out to thepounding bass and distressed guitars.The highlight came with Felines debutsingle, Just As You Are, a thunderousthree minutes with the lead singerssoaring vocals riding the chaos.Andrew Thomas

The requirement of id for the barensured it never reached any sort ofcapacity; in fact it was almost like a

quiet pint down the local. Surfacing,however, from the bar to, well the firstbars of Scarfos cacophonous but utter-ly beautiful music put an end to thatidea, and showed Scarfo were not tooperturbed by their motorway accidentthat led to all other dates being can-celed. A wonderful soundtrack of indiefavourites followed to play out the restof another highly successfulSplatch/Geronimo event. Daniel Jones

Halloween and the streets ofGuildford are safe fromallthings scary because most of

ardest bikers are out of harms..and into mine. The Civic Halled host to a motly medley of bik-

nd rockers, a sea of leather and

rted with lots of dry ice and greens, and Mr. Sensible the rector inmmer horror style introducing the. The hall filled with people and itecame a little less intimidating.Damned appeared to a flourish ofn pipes, led by a vegetariansed as a cow and Mr. Fautus. The

Damned are part of rock leg-end, and as such were expectedto be self indulgent reminiscingcrap. I was let down. Therewas a feeling of everyonebeing in on the joke, with lotsof interaction between the bandand the crowd and the materialwas well received, with a sur-prising level of humour. They

gave a relaxed, but technicallytight performance, along sidethe expected altering of themonitors. Theyve had longenough to be good at this sortof thing and they looked quiteat home on the stage. Thetracks crashed through andgradually we forgot about theIce Mummies and started todance along (I was the blondetart in the red dress). I evenenjoyed myself. The set passedwith much banter and the

famed Eloise to bring a smile tothose faces that are beginning to wrin-kle after too many years of rocking.The encore was the icing sugar on thenose; groupies on the stage, thedefrocking of Mr. Sensible, the piss

takes of everything wrong with themummies and the streaker, who wasthen molested by the groupies. A littlepiece of friendly anarchy to end theevening. Maybe the start of a Damnedrevival? Jolly as Slade, gothy as theSisters and as rocky as Rocket fromthe Crypt, the record company would-nt know where to start. Punk is dead,long live the Damned. Honey Butcher

LINE

Firstly, very sorry for the lack of a film on Sunday

(5pm and 8pm). This was entirely our fault and we

beg your forgiveness - it wont happen again.

Now, the next film WILL be on this Sunday and Monday.

Its Shes the One with the delightful Cameron Diaz, and

the gorgeous Jennifer Aniston. The film is a comedy and so

will be perfect to relax to, now that essays are due in and

exams are soon. Tickets are 2, please reserve in advance,or 5 for 4 films. Entrance by back doors.

Kevin Spacey, Kim Basinger,Guy Pearce, Danny DeVito

L

os Angeles - the City of Angels.

The beginning of a new age in true, wholesome,

urban bliss and all protected by the morally chal-

lenged LAPD. The squeaky clean Dragnet image of the

1950s LAPD is quite literally torn to pieces by this mas-

terful adaptation of James Ellroys 1990 novel.

Where can I begin to explain the plot without either fill-

ing the pages of this newspaper or giving the entire plot

away? Such diverse strings of the plot (which include

organised crime, a violent robbery, a corrupt Police

Department, and a pimp with his high class movie star

look alike call girls) are drawn together with the word

slick plastered all over them, through three cops

Kevin Spacey is Jack Vincennes, a celebrity cop who

profits from tip offs from the original tabloid journalist

(Danny DeVito) whilst not advising for Badge of

Honour - a true representation of 50s policing. Guy

Pearce (Mike form Neighbours) plays the ambitious Ed

Exley, newly qualified officer who is willing to do any-

thing within the law to uphold the law, yet who by theend of the film is as corrupt as the department whos

downfall he masterminds. Russel Crowe is Bud White

who if he werent a policeman would

be muscle for hire. These cops could

not be further apart at the beginning of

the movie, yet by the end they are the downfall of the

corruption that runs rife throughout the LAPD.

Everything about this film oozes class. The acting is

perfect. The unknowns amongst the cast mean that the

audience has no preconceptions and feelings change

towards them as the film progresses. Spacey and

DeVito put on their best performances in years and

Bassinger positively smoulders whilst returning to her

absolute best. And director Curtis Hanson must have

Oscar bells ringing in his ears.

This is a great, if incredibly complicated film. Miss a

minute and youll be lost: a pen and paper would be

useful to note down all the twists in the plot and the

quite violent character assassinations. This is the best

film of its genre for quite some time and definitely up

there with the years best. Jerry Maguire and The

English Patient should watch out as this film is really

gunning for their elected titles. Film of the year? A bold

claim, but possibly justified. Watch this film, thenwatch it again. It really is that good.

OFU... OFU... OFU... OFU...Shakespeare! Do you think thatits all about a dead serious tobe or not to be? Will you arewrong. The Reduced ShakespeareCompany has more than successful-ly managed to condense all ofShakespeares work into 97 minutesin a unique way.The whole performance was madeup by three fabulous - to say theleast actors, who effortlessly provedtheir multi-talented nature in count-less roles. The distinctive elementsof the show are the constant flow of energy and the interaction betweenthe actors and the audience which,many times, made it seem like astand-up comedy show. The play-writers, very successfully managedto transform Shakespeares workinto a revue, often satirising currentissues as well as popular personali-ties.I am not going to say anything moreother than that I have seldom enjoyed having been to, or rather,having taken part in such a perfor-mance.If you would like to live thisexperience for yourself, you can doso any day from Wednesday toSaturday evenings at 8pm, or onThursday (3pm), Saturday (5pm)and Sunday (4pm) matinees.(Check times with the Theatrebefore travelling).

The Swashbuckling fencing

club start the Semester with

an almighty swish of the

blade.

Our first match of the season was agood opportunity to stretch the

muscles. Our victory of 24 - 3

against Thames Valley University

mens team was quite literally a

thrashing... ouch!!

Captained by Jon, we performed

well in all three disciplines apart

from a little hic-up in Anthonys

epee who lost two fights against a

beginner who was holding his

weapon upside down! Adam made

his debut in Sabre and I fenced my

favorite weapons (foil & epe), try-

ing not to scratch my new maraging

foil.

The following day, several mem-

bers of the club went off to Charter

House; a jolly lovely private

school, close to Godalming. The

school asked if they could fence our

University club, in order to give the

youngsters (aged 13 - 17) moreexperience. Our club fielded a team

of mixed ability including our three

scholars; Debs, Gwen and Kate.

The afternoon was most pleasant

and we were invited for tea after-

wards where we sat at wooden

tables and ate sandwiches with the

crusts removed. Highly respectable!

The week was not over for Jon,

Debs and I. We battled our way up

to Leicester on Sunday in the thick

fog and we found ourselves in a sit-

uation where the mobile phone

came in very useful. However, the

12 minute call, directing us in was

not really the perfect financial start

to the morning!

Jon and I entered the mens epe

competition which was at full

capacity with over 160 entries.

Debs entered the womens epee. It

was my first epe competition and I

was thrown right into the deep end,

fencing Englands number oneranked fencer in my first pool of 6

fencers, loosing 5-3. I made my way

through to the second round and

was beaten by the number 6 seed.

Jon did extremely well in his pool

and went through to the last 64

where his eventual defeat of 15 - 11

gave him a final standing of 48.

The fencing club is going from

strength to strength. We have just

ordered new equipment this

Semester, which includes many new

masks, weapons and jackets. Come

along on a Tuesday evening (6:00 -

7:30) with out coach or on a

Wednesday (7:30 - 9:20) in the

main sports hall.

For once the chess team had

the opportunity to be over-

dogs in a match. This was

again Camberleys B-team that

commonly is of a not too impressive

standard. This time they howeverdecided to pitch a team on which the

weakest player was stronger than

their normally strongest player, so

the match was suddenly difficult.

Philip was the first to finish against

his opponent (R. Welford, 130) by

demonstrating his complete lack of

knowledge of the Scandinavian

defence and he was punched off the

board in a matter of minutes. you

generally can tell, when all of your

pieces are on the back row except

your king which is on the middle of

the board, that things arent going

precisely the way you wanted them

to. 0-1.

Next down was Lucky Luke (the

man who moves quicker than his

own shadow) against T. Morrison,

110. He got well out of the opening

but just slowly and steadily lost con-trol of the position and eventually

he had to give it up. We must

assume his opponent was just better

than him. 0-2.

Reza was the next to finish even

though his game was probably the

first to be decided. We shall grant

his opponent anonymity and just

mention that Reza, obviously dissat-

isfied with (only) third board decid-

ed to not just defeat but first humil-

iate his opponent. never any doubt

about the result. 1-2.

Dominic (against A Aslett, 147) had

an open flank file on the queenside

while the centre was closed. Yes this

is as complicated as it sounds and he

misplayed it at the critical time,

allowing the centre to open, and

suddenly his opponent was all over

him. Should have been won buteventually wasnt 1-3.

And finally Dan (against W.

Somerset, 150) decided to play the

opening called Heres my king,

come and mate it which his oppo-

nent duly attempted. Whether it be

by force majeur or just by luck, he

managed to survive it and in time

trouble his trouble his opponent

blundered, and we got the point!

so the final result was 2-3 adding

the list of defeats, but we shall

return!

CAMPUSPORT

It was a last minute match so to

speak due to BUSA mixing usup with SUSSEX University, an

obvious mix-up!!

Due to the Mens Football club

being so slow at getting on the bus,

we ended up getting changed on the

bus, this seems to be a regular

Reading occurrence. Irja flashed

her boobs to an unsuspecting male

driver behind the bus, much to his

delight !!

The match was started in the way

that we had meant to carry on -

Miriam scored her first try under the

posts in the first 2 minutes. Feisty

Fiona didnt convert it, but al least

she made up for it in other areas -

namely screaming constantly !!Mim then proceeded to score anoth-

er 4 tries interspersed by some

superb play by the whole team. Irjaconverted 3 of the tries much to her

delight and everyone elses amuse-

ment at her high pitched Norwegian

screams. We all now must call her

Irja-svirius-pirjus !!!

There was a bit of head-butting of

the ball by Emma and Lumpy -

surely in time you will find out what

those hand things are !!

Well done to Reanne who scored 2

tries to make it a total of 7 tries.

This was Reannes virgin game for

us, for which she should have

incurred a severe fine in the bar -

however she did not turn up. The

offence has been recorded for future

reference so beware !! Excellentplay.

Reading scored 2 tries with no con-

versions. They were good fun in thebar afterwards as were the sexy

Reading mens rugby club !!

Another big well done for Beth who

nearly scored her first try for us,

only to be stopped centimetres from

the line, youll get it next time.

We all had an excellent day, and a

barely remembered night although

it would be nice to see more of you

out.

Hooray for womens rugby, hooray

for beer, hooray for being unstop-

pable, hooray for

winning........HOORAY!!!!

Lots of love from chair-shit.

Surrey kicked off on a sunny

winters day, aiming to prove

that their BUSA record of

played 2 lost 2 was merely down to

bad luck and bad refereeing,rather

than bad players.

Things started brightly with Gareth

Flower Buddgoing through one-

on-one but a bad bounce defeatedthe normally quickfooted centre

forward and he was unable to get a

shot in. As the firsthalf wore on,

however, Portsmouth began to take

control and the normallyassured

midfield partnership of Lee see it

off Turner and Easy TigerMiriam

found it hard to get to grips with the

innovative Portsmouth tacticof

putting a player in Midfield who

could actually head the ball.

Thingswent from bad to worse as

Alan Sven Hart went down after a

suspiciouslooking challenge and

was forced to come off.

Portsmouths domination wasnow

beginning to tell and it was no sur-

prise when they found the net aftera

goal mouth scramble mid-way

through the first half, the surprisewasthat the referee ignored the

fact the Portsmouth player finished

from onthe goal line and gave a bla-

tantly off side goal. Despite

Nursey Baileygoing close late on

in the first half & Flower missing

the target with anopen goal Surrey

went in at the break one down.

Shortly into the second half Dan

lurch Taylor was dispossessed

when trying to round the

Portsmouth striker and the away

team went a further goal ahead,

slotting the ball into an empty net.

This may have crushed lesser teams

but the seconds rallied and after

good play down the right Flower

made amends by finishing in great

style with his gonads to make it a

close finish. Despite a late surgeSurrey were denied and the opposi-

tion had the cheek to flatter them-

selves by adding a late third. So

once again the seconds were

unlucky and would surely have got

a result had it not been down to des-

perately bad luck.DANNY

RIDAY EVENING STEP AEROBICS nt forget the new 5 week course at 5.30 p.m. beginning on Friday 7thvember at the Sports Centre. Sorry this is not a drop in class, you mustster and its 5 to Campusport/Sports & Classes card holders.NEW DRY-SKI COURSE (4weeks) Next weeks performance onthe campusdance pro-gramme will be the last onebefore Christmas. This is absolutelyyour last chance to drag yourselfdown to PATS and be inspired(youll never need to see the BBCsannual Christmas offering of TheNutcracker in the same way again,in fact you might even stay awake -well theres always hope!)To use my catch phrase - the perfor-mance has something for everyone.

For those skin flints amongst us its

the campusdance equivalent of

Tesco value as they are offering two

companies for the price of one (silly

night - eat your heart out!). For the

homebodies both the companies

have links with the university. One

of the pieces being performed by

Amanda Banks and Nathaniel Reed

has been commissioned by the cam-

pusdance and Carol Brown current-

ly is a lecturer in Contemporary

dance and Choreography on the

universitys dance degree pro-

gramme. And finally for those of

you who enjoy a challenge, person-

al experience allows me to safely

say, that carol Browns work issome of the most exciting and inno-

vative around, not only leaving you

on a total kinestic high but chal-

lenging you to rethink everything

you though about dance, life and

the cosmos.

Sop far, the campusdance season

has been a sell-out. So if anything

Ive said hasnt yet convinced you,

this, surely, proves you are missing

out. Its also offered collaborations

between choreographers, visual

artists, and composers from a veri-

ety of backgrounds and to suit all

tastes. Could you really ask for any-

thing more? it seems such a waste

not to take advantage of this wealth

of creative talent on your doorstep.

The performance is at 8pm on the12th November in PATS. For tickets

The ugly spectre of crap refer-

ees reared its head again on

Wednesday as the University

XV were quite literally robbed

he points and the game againts a

le side from Brighton. The last

minutes were frenetic but our

m-half dived over in the corner

a perfect try. The crowd went

d; the referee awarded the try;

ed an incomprehensible ques-

to our own linesman who

wered Yes. The ref changed

mind and awarded them a 22

p out. Unbelievable. What was

se is that we had a kickable

ortunity for a penalty which

would have won the game even

though the try was disallowed but

the referee had recorded the wrong

score in his little book (13-8, not

the correct 13-11 as admitted by

their captain at the end of the

game.)

It is not like me to moan about ref-

erees- what goes around comes

around, but when they cant even

count it does make you wonder.

On a brighter note Arsenal were

beaten 3-0 by Derby. hahhahhaha-

ha.

A final plea of the year for some

sports articles - please.

T TO SAY THIS ALMOST DIDNT GET DONE COZ CAZZA GOT PISSED WITH THE FOOTY BLOKES IN CAHNCELLORS! HURRAH FOR SPORTY TYPES!!!!!

Us Them Us ThemSporty Thang The Enemy

is not only fantasy football that

equires a suspension of disbe-

ief; reality can also be hard to

. On Wednesday it was difficult

to accept that the first team had lost

a match in which they dominated

for long periods. this has been char-

acteristic of the season so far. Hard

work, good individual and team per-

formances have as a result of lapses

in concentration and our ability to

put the ball in the back of the net

resulted in a frustrating start to the

season.

From the kick off we dominated the

first twenty - impenetrable at the

back, and creative in attack. Frank

was a tower of strength at the back,and is showing signs of giving us

the kind of consistency and commit-

ment needed from all the players.

the combination of Matt (I got

booked again!) Flanagan, Dave and

Frank as the three central defenders

seemed to work well. At the oppo-

site end of the park Sam had an

impressive BUSA debut, and could

well become a regular in the team.

he showed good vision, ran well,

and most importantly always want-

ed the ball. the centre of the park

was well marshalled by James (act-

ing captain due to absence of the

injured Scouser), and John (I wear

nice orange shorts) Fagan did not

look out of his depth holding the

front defence.

Despite this initial possession we

were unable to capitalise and

Reading began to become more

involved with the game. The some-

what excited referee seemed to be

under the distinct impression that

football was a non-contact sport -

which did not help the flow of the

game. the game continued in a fair-

ly balanced manner with each side

having their chance.

It was not five minutes from time

that Reading scored their goal. A

foul 15 yards outside the Surrey box

caused outrage amongst our players.

While arguing with the referee

Reading took the free kick, playing

it out to the right wing. The Reading

player cut inside, and hit a low drive

at the near post. Stef, like the other

players not anticipating the quick

kick, was unable to hold the ball.

On the whole it was a reasonable

performance, in which we were very

lucky to lose. it should perhaps be

noted that at the last count there

were eight recognised first team

players injured - three of them left

backs!

The morning after Halloween

started with about as much

terror as the night itself ever

red, as I awoke in the Club

tains bed with green hair and an

emely stiff neck!! The horror

inued when I arrived at Senate

s to find that our loveable fix-

secretary had organised every-

g except directions to the

e!! Only a small omission but

ortant, I feel!!!

h a vague idea of our destination

minibus finally arrived at the

ote woodland location (Cheers

ky Mallard!) after only enough

ng turns to make it interesting!

en Surrey finally took to the

h, amidst the boos of the home

s resident bunch of sideline

llas, the nerves of the Captain

ly began to settle! Despite the

presence of 5 players

from the C team relieving

the friday afternoon selec-

tion crisis, Surrey took early control

of the game. Steve Pussy Catt and

Todd Constitution Hill began

superbly in the centre of the mid-

field holding the back four and the

strike force together in perfect har-

mony. Si Simple Roche and Andy

Roadrunner Shanks skinned the

oppo repeatedly and chances began

to come. Both Rochey and Golden

Boy Meads came close as Pussy

dominated the midfield. Then came

a perfect move. Cakey delivered the

ball of his life over the top of their

left back, which let Shanksy cross

for Meads to nod in at the far post!

1-0! Cakey was more shocked than

anybody else, I can assure you!

More chances followed and indeed

two Surrey goals, from Cakey and

Si Roche, were inexplicably ruled

out as the referees game went to

pieces! Postal briefly stirred them-

selves before half-time to equalisebut we were confident at the break.

After a shady first 10 minutes of the

second half, where communication

became just a word in BT adverts,

the Surrey back four settled itself

and allowed the midfield the free-

dom to take control again! A mag-

nificent through ball from

Constitution put Shanksys speedy

frame free on the right, a pin-point

cross found Amigo Paulo steaming

through onto a bullet header. 2-1.

The next 20 minutes of the game

saw Surrey play some quality foot-

ball with everyone work-

ing for each other. Cakey

and Mad Alex were

strong at Centre half, whilst Jim

Robinson took all manner of violent

abuse at left back, with a smile! The

referee made one bad decision after

another as one of their strikers

(Dinosaur is a good description!)

repeatedly fouled, kicked and even

nutted members of the Surrey XI!

Just as it couldnt get any worse he

gave a penalty against Jimbo for

probably the best challenge he made

all day! Justice was done, however,

when the aforementioned dinosaur

lifted the ball high and wide, much

to the undisguised pleasure of the

boys in yellow and blue!

Surrey spirits were higher than ever

and when Meadsy scored again to

put us 3-1 up the game was ours!

Despite a late conciliation goal for

Woking, when Cliffys ageing legs

just couldnt muster up that leg-

endary pace to reach the strikers

ankles, Surrey B took this top of the

table clash in their stride, to go four

points clear with a game in hand!

The news, that all but one of

Saturdays teams were victorious,

put morale at an all time high and

was saluted with a chorus of New

York in the showers back at fortress

Varsity.

Team of the Day was duly awarded

despite equally heroic displays from

all the Surrey boys, leaving only one

thing left to say!

WE ARE TOP OTHE LEAGUE, I
