Scope and content
Adrian is composing posters for the Labour Club. Dingle Foot was coming to speak on Law and politics on 24th of April.
The University had a coat of arms (gold and azure) and a motto “do different”. ‘I rather like it but I seem to be a minority. Most people think it’s plain ridiculous.’
Describes Judith and Mairi’s accommodation arrangements.
‘John & Barry have been to see the abovementioned flat and discover the only snag is the absence of a bathroom. Since most people bath at the University anyway, because communal bathing is a popular means of circulating gossip?, this hardly matters.’
The University scarf had gone on sale in the City.
They had been collecting for “War on Want” at Anglia TV car park when the police descended on them saying they were “street collecting” although they had been offered the car park to avoid the difficulty of getting permission for street collecting.
