Report of Royal Commission A medical faculty for I C i s re- commended in the Report of the Royal Commission on Medical Education publi- shed this month. The Report recommends that the number of London Medical Schools s h o u l d b e h a l v e d b y m e r g i n g S t , Bart- holomewfe with London, University Col- lege with the Royal Free, Middlesex w i t h S t , Mary's, G u y ' s w i t h K i n g ' s College, Westminster with Charing Cross a n d S t . George's with St, Tho- mas's. Each of these should have an intake of about 200 students per year and around 1000 total, and each should become the m e d i c a l f a c u l t y of a L o n - don college. If these recommendations are carried out the Westminster - Charing Cross combination would become the medical faculty of I.C. The Charing Cross H o s p i t a l a t present has plans to r e b u i l d i n J u l h a m a n d h a s recom - mendation for a n i n t a k e of 70 -80 students p e r y e a r .

This couple t u r n e d o u t to be disappointing. Possibly because of nerves,they didn't seem at their best and they also performed beyond their time. They were followed by Tyranno- saurus Rex. This is a group I would go far out o f ray w a y t o see again, al- though no doubt their style doesn't appeal to everyone. Marc uses his voice as an instrument as well as a singer of words. Their current single, "Deborah", is an example.The one unmitigated flop was John Peel's poetry recital in one song, There followed a b r i e f p a u s e for recovery of the senses, during which I spoke b r i e f l y w i t h D o n o v a n .
