of
King's College should
know that the death of Sir
Cecil Cochrane at the end of
September has removed one
of the oldest and staunchest
friend^ of the University. A
full account of his notable
activities and generous con­

What is important is that the
present generation of students
should know how much they

ACCOMMODATION
TT appears that the accommodation problem, which seems
critical, to judge from the number of homeless students one
meets around the place, is not in fact all that serious.
The Warden of Lodgings says that accommodation of some
sort is available, although it is impossible for everyone to get
the kind of place they want.
But although everyone can be fixed up somewhere, the
situation is far from satisfactory.
The most popular—and therefore the scarcest—kinds of
accommodation are flats and Halls of Residence.
It is obviously very expensive to build new Halls, and
although the extensions to Henderson Hall are now under way,
no-one imagines that they will fulfill the demand for places.
It would not cosf a great deal, comparatively speaking, to
take over houses and turn them into flats on the line of Wor
Hoos. This kind of accommodation is popular and relatively
cheap.
The problem of the trek to the Coast shows no signs of
abating within the next few years. It is up to the College to
tackle this problem, and the provision of flats like Wor Hoos
is one of the ways in which it can be done.

iJpOR the first time in some

shops as well as by students.
A large amount of help is re­
quired both in distributing
the editions to shops and
other public places and in
selling Rag Pie at various
Rag functions.
HELP
All those of you wishing to
help are asked to get in touch
.with the Distribution Mana­

They are fresher David Humpage (at Eustace Percy) and
Steve Albrow.

DISTRIBUTION
Rag Pie will also be sold
by students in the streets as in
previous years and will be is­
sued in the Union Foyer dur­
ing Rag Week together with
collccting tins.
As each copy of Rag Pie
costs about six-pence to print
it would be appreciated if all
students would ensure that all
copies are sold. A lot manage
to get trampled under-foot in
the foyer and many more are
lost on the final Saturday.
Evening Chronic this year
is increased to threepence
while Rag Pie remains at Two
Shillings. These are of course
minimum prices!•

IT WILL DEPEND ON YOU
J f O R a long time, the Competition has been tfee largest single
money-spinner of Rag. Last year we sold tickets to the
value of £7,600, but this represents less than a quarter of the
30,000 books of tickets which we have printed.
One book sold out of every
four issued leaves consider­
able scope for improvement.
So far this year, we have
issued 27,000 books, and it is
essential that we should dis­
pose of the remaining books
by the end of Rag Week.
Takings this year are £500
up on la s t' year, but this
advantage can soon be lost
through a :poor response by
ticket-seHers in Rag Week.

The idea that having an account with a nation-wide bank like the
Midland is something reserved for people of substantial means is
a fallacy. So also is the belief that bonks are interested only in those
who are older and already Established. The Midland Bank is
interested in YOU —and all young people like you. You would
find a bank account extremely useful and with the Midland’s Personal
Cheques the cost is only 6d. a cheque -.5 /- for a book of 10, There

last Wednesday’s performance
of Macbeth by the OM Vic
company. Many were tvned
away disappointed; many of
those fortunate enough to get
in were also disappointed. I,
too, expected something bet­
ter from the Old Vic..............
The excellent staging of
the play was not complemen­
ted by the acting as a whole.
The performance was too
broad, ignoring many of the
finer points of Shakespeare’s
poetry. Lady Macbeth was
guilty of this in the Raven
scene; indeed, on the whole,
her performance left me un­
satisfied.
Paul Rogers as
Macbeth failed to hold my
undivided attention for he
never seemed to be the mas­
ter of his part.
Although the three witches
were provided with every op­
portunity, in the lighting, set­
ting and sound effects of their
scenes, their performance was
somewhat feeble through their
inability
to
make their
speeches completely audible.
It was Lady MacDuff as the
distraught mother who provi­
ded the most moving perfor­
mance of the evening. Walter
Hudd gave a careful study of
the weak and ageing Duncan.
The basic mise en scene was
ingeniously adapted for each
act and was transformed With
ease from a scene such as the
Blasted Healh to one as
vastly different as the Ban­
quet.
The general feeling was
that this was the class of
Shakespeare which perhaps
the Old Vic company had
thought might satisfy a pro­
vincial audience. It was not

This is inevitable, and at
first, perhaps, disheartening,
and leaves three alternatives
for those concerned.
Either to abandon sport

inter-mural sport.
The first choice would be
unfortunate, in that a neces­
sary foroa of mental relaxa­
tion would be lost.
The second choice, while
furthering participation in
sport, tends to do so at the
expense of certain aspects of
College social life.
later-mural sport would
therefore appear to offer the
best alternative to College
representative honours.
Its organisation and ad­
ministration is in student
hands. You get out of it
exactly what you put into it.
The success -of the original
iater-awral league (soccer),
has beea due to the support
it received in its inaugural
year.
Owing to increasing inter­
est the league is now faced
with a lack of pitches. Those
ia existance are at Cochrane
Park and Blakelaw. The
Medicals’ ground at Heaton
was used last year. That the
Medics’ Athletic Union was
obliged to withdraw the
Dentafe’ team from the
league on account of this
pitch being over-played, was
unfortunate.
Such is the need for addi­
tional playing areas that
negotiations are in hand for
an additional eighty acres of
playing fields—and that's a

A BRITISH EFFORT
IT was, as President Mike Black put it when thanking the
speakers at last Saturday’s Union Debate, a truly British
effort England, Scotland, Wales and (Jl6ter were all verbally
represented.
Dr. W. S. Mitchell, unMKccsst li 11\

the
motion that “ T h e best road
a Scotsman takes is the one
that leads to E n glan d.” presen ted a rare c atch for the
C'omenor King’s students get
little chance to h e a r this key
background figure in the
C ollege. Dr. Mitchell spoke,
as one m ight expect, with considerable scholarship — but
only a little wit. His rich Fifeshire tones lead us through
Scottish history and the wiles
of Dr. Johnson they missed,
alas, the kernel o f the argumerit.
Leading opposition speaker
E H Wat kin. Esq. was
mined to impress upon the
assembly that his shirt was
considerably whiter than any
of his opponents*. He asked
us what, if the cream of Scot­
tish intelligence crossed the
border, would become of the
‘hame land’ itself. Surely it
would become a mere shell
without any Scottishness. But
Mr. Watkin too, was in gentle
mood. .

Mr. E. Watkin speaks
in the debate.
As usual, Mr. R. Jago did
his best to bore us—in the
most charming manner pos­
sible. He succeeded and the
proposition took on a nominal
significance.
It was left to Mr. P.
Thurley, that seasoned Bible-
thumper, to take us on a
religious Hour de force.
Through Jeremiah, Proverbs,
Zephaniah, Timothy and
Haggai we learned that the
Scots were chosen people—
and as such should stay put
in Scotland.
Interspersed with these high
moral tones were some
“ stories ” of indescribable
origin. Really, Mr. Thurley—
surely they are better suited
to Bun Room debates!
T{ was left to a floor speaker,
the Hon. Mr. Cambell, to give
us rich Scottish humour at its
finest. In a speech of sparkling
wit and considerable force he
came out with the classic
comment: ‘England is not yet
ready for independence.’
When the division came,
there was no surprise. The
motion was defeated by 114
to 28. It had been a quiet
meeting, perhaps the speakers
had aimed a little too high.
As the meeting closed we
heard, the gentle wail of a
SNEC band in another room
—sounding for all the world
like a bagpipe lament. A
fitting comment on the pro­
ceedings.

Indo-Pakistan
History of Culture. This will
be the first time that a
foreign university will offer
this field in its curriculum.
Students studying the arts
will be able to become more;
aware of the Indo-Pakistan
culture in this course. Besides
this, a workshop session on
Indo-Pakistan history and
political science is planned
which will offer specialists
the opportunity of doing re­
search work. Tlrese innova** tions are a result of an ex- ’
pansion in the study plan of
the university’s curriculum

of the Pictorial contains a four

While on the subject of the
cinema, it is worth mentioning
that there is a distinct possibility
of a Unit from Associated-British

T'HE Warden of Lodgings
talked to me in her pleas­
ant office in Kensington Ter­
race.
Blonde, attractive Mrs.
Robinson gave some crisp
replies to the charges which
I levelled at her.
INEFFECTIVE
There have been rumours
—backed by people with
nowhere to live—that the
Lodgings Bureau has fallen
down on the job.
Mrs. Robinson agreed thatthere is a shortage of
FLATS in Newcastle and the
surrounding areas, resulting
in a number of dissatisfied
customers. However, she in­
sisted that students who are.
as y et “of no fixed abode”
have been insisting on their
ideas of “digs”.
TOO PARTICULAR
Finding that the Warden
cannot specialise in dream
homes, they have been walk­
ing out. If these people had
been willing to wait for flats,
she could have given them
interim^ addresses.
The shortage of flats, and
the lack of a reliable guide

able, Mrs. Robinson attri­
butes to the previous official
college policy of preferring
approved board lodging to
flats.
DECLINE AND FALL
This was mainly due to
the fear that, left to their own
devices, students would live
on chips and beer and,
eventually, fade away.
Next year it is hope that a
more comprehensive find bet­
ter organised system of flat
registration will be put into
operation.
NO CO-OPERATION
At the moment the big
snag is a lack of co-operation
from the students.
If the student cares to be
helpful and give details of a
flat that he has found then
the Warden can enquire into
the possibility of its being
made available to future
students. However if the
student merely gives the
address and nothing more
then the opportunity is lost.
Mrs. Robinson and her
staff were most helpful and
co-operative, I got the feel­
ing that they are doing an
extremely good job under
very difficult conditions.
