Very few items remain from this time period because of the very high cost of videotape. Programmes were recorded over the following week with a new programme, so we&#8217;re lucky that this survives today. On the 26 February 1975 Mark Caldwell was presenting the weekly news programme Lunchbreak in which the candidates for the post of Felix editor came into the TV Studio. Clive Dewey and Paul Ekpenyong were standing and also attending was Mike Williams, the then current editor. From Felix 7 March 1975 the results were 440 for Clive Dewey and 527 for Paul Ekpenyong who was declared the next editor for 1975\/1976.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">At 7mins 20secs into the video you will also hear something very rare indeed. The college bells on the top of Mechanical Engineering chiming 6pm. We must have had the windows open in the studio which was then located on level 3 of Electrical Engineering facing where the bells were. So not only do we know the date, but also the time of this recording, that&#8217;s unique.<\/p>\r\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lunchbreak   Felix Editor Election 1975\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YD4ciLGAyqU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>Colin Grimshaw August 2023<\/strong><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in 1975 it was time for the election of the next Felix editor.
