Shooters go on the pull

A dozen shooters went to Hawley in Kent to try their hands at clay pigeon shooting. After a brief introduction, the motley crew settled down to a twenty-five bird sporting layout (for the uninitiated: bird = clay pigeon; sporting layout = one way of positioning the clay pigeon launchers and timing of

Tony Cragg Sculpture - Whitechapel Gallery

Tony Cragg is probably the most significant British sculptor of his generation. The core of the exhibition consists of large scale sculptures. In Spirogyra, the freshwater algae is transformed into an impressive spiral from which protrude dozens of bottles of different shapes and colours. Secretions turns out to be a

News in Brief

The Royal School of Mines won the "bottle match" against the Cambourne School of Mines last Saturday. That evening, the Union bar was packed, and some of the fixtures sustained a significant amount of damage. Two tables were trashed, one with its top smashed, the other had its

Michael

Andie MacDowell sings, John Travolta dances, Bob Hoskins cockney accent gets progressively more suspicious - what more could you possibly want? Hopefully not a plausible plot, as that’s certainly one thing that Michael doesn’t supply. Michael (Travolta) is an angel on his last visit to Earth, who communicates

Various - Talvin Singh Presents Anokha

Talvin Singh Presents... is not simply any old compilation album. He both writes, plays and produces on several of the tracks, and the album’s diversity stems from the fact that this has been compiled only under the heading Asian Underground. Anokha is the club night that has become synonymous

BUSA de-booster for fourths

A defeat in BUSA spells the end of a glorious run, but the fourths need to pick themselves up from this defeat and concentrate on the league. It all went pear-shaped in the first few minutes when our keeper misjudged a routine shot, and then another defensive mistake put IC

The Orb - Orblivion

You know the feeling. You’ve been clubbing all night, your head feels like it’s going to explode and all you want to do is sleep. But you can’t. Your head’s still buzzing and all you need is something to relax to. But what are your options?

Would the real Mike Hansen please step forward...

Well, I was brought up in Watford. At school I guess I was a scientist. I suppose the place to go was IC. But you wouldn’t, nobody ever did, it was too close to home. When I was in the lower sixth, my Chemistry master mentioned that he had

picocon

On at least 13 previous occasions, should our numbering system be believed, Imperial College Science Fiction has run, with varying success, a one day convention. This Sunday coming, March 2nd, we are running number 14. The flavour of our convention changes, as it inevitably must given the fact that it

Are Imperial College students paying too much for their rent?

The differences between the various Halls of Residence of Imperial College were recently brought to my attention. A resident of Fisher Hall commented to me that on a recent visit to Holbein Hall he had been amazed at the difference between the standards of repair. He gushed on about the
