Left: Traffic problem daring Procession Centre: Carnival Revue— Henry IV Above : Find die Lady with Mr. Seaford Revue reviewed THE CARNIVAL REVUE, produced by Dramsoc proved a very worthwhile buy for the few people who attended its second night in the Concert Hall. Unfortunately the first half had no sketch strong enough to warm up the audience sufficiently to cover the weaker sketches. Consequently the first half tended to drag—slow scene changing and lighting adjustments did not help in this. However, as soon as Ivor Grayson-Smith came on to close the half with Elizabethan folk songs the house was given a taste of the laughter to come. The pint in the interval no doubt helped loosen up the audience, which was treated to a hilarious; skit on Henry IV. part I. The ensuing sketches were received heartily before the "Nightime" closing scene. The talent and versatility of Ivor Grayson-Smith and the three Dramsoc actresses was remarkable.

I Foreign I I Affairs "BRITAIN'S POOREST UNION" AT LSE the Union Council complains that it has too little control of its money. The most striking recent example of the almost complete power over the Union's finances by the School's Director was a letter he sent to their Senior Treasurer following the Budget. This made detailed criticisms of many small items on the budget and incensed many members of LSE Council by laying down that "since the Union is itself a charity, it is unable to give money to other charities." Requests for more money have to be tied to immediate projects, and long-range planning is impossible. Facilities are granted by the Administration, and a complex accounting system means that the Union may be paying more than it should for lighting and heating- The arrangement has long proved a blueprint for confusion. Research is under *way into the legal position of the Union vis-a-vis the School under various Education Acts and the* Charter of London University. The final aim is a per capita block grant without strings.

No. Your degree doesn't automatically entitle you to become an Admiral (or even a Sub-Lieutenant) A degree helps, because in the Royal Navy today, a degree counts. As a graduate you are eligible to enter the Royal Navy as a Seaman, Engineer, Supply and Secretariat or Instructor Officer. Mind you, there's more to it than being academic. The work is demanding, is certainly different, and calls for intelligence as well as education; for character as well as a degree. As an Engineer Officer, you have the responsibility for the efficiency and success of startlingly advanced equipment: the complex electronic heart of every fighting ship for example. Or you could be working with nuclear reactors, gas turbines, computers and so on. On the other hand, as a Seaman Officer you could have your own command in your late twenties. Promotion prospects are excellent. You have an exciting, varied life, with world-wide travel, sport, and enjoy a high professional status. Above all you're involved in what is perhaps the most important job in the world: front line preservation of peace. University Cadetshlps are open to young men between 17* and 23; men either about to go to University or C.A.T. or those already doing a full time But it helps course. You could have your fees paid and draw officer's pay and allowances. Acquaintance visits. To give you a taste of what life is like in the Royal Navy you can atlend a 7-week workshop course held at the Royal Naval Engineering College, Plymouth during the summer vacaiion, or a one-week visit to a Naval port in ihe South.
