The Big Chill - Brixton Academy

The entire Academy has been converted into a pulsating vibrant mix up of energy and sounds.

Exam policy aired

It has been confirmed this week that students will be represented on College committees which consider examination policies. Past complaints over the introduction of a College wide calculator policy has led to acceptance that student reps must have input on these matters. Mr Vernon McClure, Academic Registrar, explained to Felix

New Election

The "New Election" result for IC president was a joy to behold; one could only dream about this kind of result happening in the national arena. Imagine it, the entire British electorate voting "New Election"- wishful thinking as this option is unavailable on national ballot

The Seal Wife - Attic Theatre Company

I love Scotland. I only spent a short time up there, just a couple of months, but what instantly hits you up there is how much closer the people in the community seem. Everybody knows everyone else and gossip travels fast. It’s just this innate Scottishness that makes "

Miners gotta lotta bottle

After five years of trying, the RSM rugby team brought "The Bottle" back to the union bar. The game was a fiercely fought contest from the start, Cambourne literally fighting for the ball. The weight of the RSM pack always meant that Cambourne would struggle in the scrums,

White Town - Women In Technology

A lonely guy, all alone in his bedroom with only a PC, a keyboard, guitar and his imagination for company. The writer, computer, performer and ‘everything else’ behind one of the records of the year, the instant number one smash ‘Your Woman’. Jyoti Mishra, the man behind White Town, and

Eels - Beautiful Freak

Another trans-Atlantic offering, and due to the amount of airplay their current single, ‘Novocaine For The Soul’, we’re all curious to see what the Americans are going to send us next. They sing of a narcotic underworld, dark days and darker nights over light, breezy, quiet melodies. No matter

Voice of Reason

Since this article is well behind schedule, I am able to pass comment on the Election results. Not Wirral South (allow a man his private grief) but our own little shindig. All in all, you, for the most part, voted sensibly. Congratulations to Smita, Rob And Jeremy, whom I know
