[HDNG]INTRODUCTION:[EHDNG][PARA][BULL] The College is part of University of Cambridge and students [PARA]are entitled to use its facilities.[EBOLD][PARA]King's College, on King's Parade, has many a dreaming spire [PARA]and the famous King's chapel (started in 1446). [ITAL]It has a reputation[PARA]for a liberal attitude, left wing politicos and students from state [PARA]schools, but with plenty of closet Tories, only by Cambridge [PARA]standards can King's be called radical. In fact, there's a good mix[PARA]of all Cambridge's different types. There's still the same staid [PARA]hierarchy[EITAL], such as a court for fellows and ducks only. [ITAL] [PARA]Excellence in everything is vital: the orchestra, the choir, work... [EITAL] [ITAL][PARA]if you can't take the heat, get out of the oven.[EITAL][PARA][PARA]The biggest college bar in Cambridge (cap 300); Cellar Bar (110)); [PARA]1 other bar; all bars, dining hall, chapel (250) and Keynes Hall [PARA](200) are used for bands; bops in Cellars (150) are [ITAL]more hip than [PARA]something very hip indeed. [EITAL]Every term there is a 'Mingle' (a mini [PARA]ball); 'June Event' is a deluxe 'Mingle'. Art room with resident [PARA]artist. 'Red Dragon Pie' student magazine; library (100,000 [PARA]books); 20 computers; ecumenical chapel. Sports fields (6 acres)[PARA]15 mins walk; success in lacrosse and basket ball. Students live [PARA]in and eat in the dining hall; [ITAL]not bad [EITAL]self-catering provisions[ITAL]. [EITAL][PARA]Nurse; a few rooms for wheelchair users.[HDNG]FAMOUS ALUMNI:[EHDNG][PARA]Rupert Brooke (poet); E M Forster (writer); J M Keynes [PARA](economist); Michael Mates MP (Con); Salman Rushdie [PARA](Ayatollah-baiting writer).
