Imperial College Operatic Society

Since October ICOS has been working towards five performances that will last less than two and a half hours each. The result of these many hundreds of hours of rehearsal will be next week’s run of "Sweet Charity". So you’ve seen the posters and the full

The Latest Score

England have now managed just two test victories in five winter tours and both of those when the series were lost and Australia and the West Indies had already given up. This appaling record was furthered earlier this week when England failed to win. Unlike most I don’t think

News in Brief

ICU sports clubs were shocked last week by the sudden resignation of Caroline Deetjen, the Athletic Clubs Committee Chair. Ms Deetjen, currently in the final year of her Chemical Engineering degree, explained, "I felt I was overcommitting myself, and wasn’t giving the ACC the time and credit it

The fourths go marching on...

As usual, we won, they lost. However, they didn’t just lose, they bore the brunt of the fourth’s most impressive performance this season, and were thrashed into submission by a team seemingly possessed by the spirit of Brazil l970. The pressure built in the first half, a shot

Editorial

It is perhaps a little ironic that a notice announcing the temporary closure of the Library should sit so close to a letter condemning it. The timing of this stage of the Library’s development is also unfortunate coming so soon after another closure of half the Library due to

Fatboy crowned King

With the football seconds looking to build on last weeks glorious victory, the game began with captain Steve picking a formation literally out of a hat and urging the lads to "Show ‘em what we can do". Unfortunately this produced the most boring first half in history, with
