W i t h o u t r e a l i s i n g it, the U n i o n has been consistantly p u m p i n g m o n e y into F E L I X v i a the c l u b s a n d societies a n d C e n t r a l U n i o n Office F u n d s , due to t h e i r extortionate c h a r g e s for p r i n t i n g .
Therefore, if F E L I X had estimated each year their true i n c o m e from p r i n t i n g , this w o u l d have resulted in their grant from the U n i o n b e i n g drastically reduced. Instead the deception has been perpetuated right t h r o u g h to D a v i d C r a b b e ' s estimates for next year w h i c h a g a i n m a k e no m e n t i o n of income from p r i n t i n g o r e x p e n d i t u r e tor materials o n the grounds that they w o u l d 'break even', in the hope that F E L I X w o u l d c o n t i n u e to be u n d e r the c o n t r o l of the r u l i n g F E L I X C l u b C l i q u e . A l t h o u g h clubs a n d societies have always been given sufficient funds to meet F E L I X ' s high p r i n t i n g charges, it has been a different story for i n d i v i d u a l s , especially those s t a n d i n g lor election to U n i o n posts. T h i s year there are likely to be at least ten c a n d i d a t e s for the Sabbaticals. E a c h w i l l spent a n ' average of t h i r t y pounds o n p r i n t i n g done by F E L I X . The real cost s h o u l d only be live pounds. In this way the U n i o n is m a k i n g vast profits out of i n d i v i d u a l members of the U n i o n . In other words , a sixth of their election e x p e n d i t u r e covers the a c t u a l cost o f t h e i r p u b l i c i t y , whilst the other 5 6 t h s is p r e s u m a b l y for the p r i v i l a g e of F E L I X d o i n g the p r i n t i n g . T h i s s i t u a t i o n where a Student U n i o n makes such a b i g profit from its members is intolerable, a n d should be condemned. /

W h e n the rates were increased by D u n c a n Suss at the start of 197677. he c l a i m e d that it was due to increased cost of p a p e r a n d plates.

At the time of M M to press the copy oj 'Darts' that Sheffield ttgreed to send lids not an iced hut I lime read a simitar paper from Manchester l'nive:\ily anil I find your comments interesting. I certainly heliere that it is tremendously important lit hare a large regular staff and I shall he working eery hard lo encourage this, aiming to make /•'A'/./.V more interesting and informative.
The sort of person that I w o u l d like to see as the e d i t o r of F E L I X is someone w h o has a n active interest i n C o l l e g e life a n d a desire to spread that interest throughout College. I d o n ' t want someone w h o sees the job as a n e n d i n itself, n o r someone w h o has a p o l i t i c a l (or even m o r a l ) axe to g r i n d , but someone w h o feels they have something positive to oiler C o l l e g e.
