to procure better conditions for Southside's Car Owners.

Stand outside 12 A r g y l l Street (right next if Oxford Circus Tube) between 9 a.m.-9p.m. and you wi l l see new revolutionaries making their way up to the 4th Floor. They carry no text books and only attend H O 1 hour a day. After 12 one hour attendances tney are qualified... they can touch type at 20 words per minute (anotner 12 hours lakes them to 40 w.p.m.. and another 12 for 60 w.p.m.). Tnis means they wi l l now type out lectures, notes, dieses, letters in quick time, keep copies easily and generally have things organized.
When holidays come there are touch typing jobs galore (£14 a week!) and its a ski l l they'll never regret acquiring—revolutionary or not! Cost of 9 gns. for 12 one-hour lessons and the fact that only one hour per day is required mke Sight and Sound a revolutionary ideology!
C a l l and see for yourself—no obligation—no extras, or 'phone for further information:

The letter gave the informat

INSURANCE
AND THE STUDENT
A S A S T U D E N T you are
probably painfully aware(
of the numerous Insurance)
circulars that you receive, and
I am equally aware that most)
of these circulars end up in the
waste paper basket, unread.
Being inundated with these
circulars has caused the Student
to be sceptical about Insurance.

IN THE LIMELIGHT
- A LOOK AT SUSSEX One of the nearer Universities to London
is Sussex. Perhaps the most expensive
university that we have for the number of
people involved. Since its conception it
has been rarely out of the news. A fuss
was caused when the (Brighton Town'
Planning Committee rejected Sir Basil
Spence's plan for a chapel or meeting
house, because it did not fit in with the rest
of his plans. Recently the Sunday Tele
graph joined in the campaign started by
the Daily Mail to present the image of
the Sussex student as a sex-mad, orgy-
loving creature.

<One . . . important aspect of the physicist's work . . . concerns the design of
apparatus to carry out the many special measurements for which no commercial
equipment exists. For example, this has involved the design and construction
of mass spectrometers, and more and more instruments of various kinds are
being developed not only to measure a property continuously, but to use this
measurement for control of a manufacturing process. Obviously, for small
manufacturing units instrumentation will tend to be simple and robust, but for
large-scale continuous manufacture, representing turn-over values of many
millions of pounds per annum, much more sophisticated methods are feasible.
H e r e . . . the physicist will find himself,
in collaboration with colleagues with
different training and interests, using
the most powerful ancillary techniques,
such as digital computers . . .9

STOATS WEASELS - FUN & GAMES
'STOATS' is now well and truly under way. What's 'Stoats'? Why,
it's that new 'sporting' club I was telling you about at the end
of last term. By now, if yesterdays meeting went according to
plan, it has a starting complement of just over a hundred mem
bers, which will build up as the years go along to three hundred
or so members at college plus those who have left.

Living on a Shoestring? Never mind, it can't last for ever. And while you are preparing to make your first million, it's just as well to open an account at the Midland Bank. For an account can help you now—when help is needed most—to manage your money affairs more easily. More important it will go on helping you as your money problems change through the years (for money problems never cease, however rich one becomes —they merely assume a different form). So make the wise decision today: have a word with your local Midland branch. The staff will be glad to help you—whether you're ever likely to make a million or not I

The season so far for the I.C.
1st Hockey Team has been one
of a disastrous start (14 goals
conceded in 6 matches in
October), a slow recovery (17
goals scored in November
leading to a triumphant De
