Missing the Point?
By Iain Lindley — February 16, 2004
Henry Kissinger observed that “university politics is vicious precisely because the stakes are so small”, and for those who watched last week’s YUSU Treasurer (and Labour Party member) James Alexander’s political attack on YUSU Societies Officer David Sammels unfold, it is difficult not to agree. It is far less tricky, however, to see that the [...]
Justice Done
By James Gallagher — February 16, 2004
Greg Dyke the Chancellor-elect, was supported by thousands of BBC staff. Do I have similar deep felt feelings of support towards him? Well no.

By Jamie Willard and Toby Hall — February 16, 2004

By Nouse — February 16, 2004
Although Alcuin college is way out in the magical place near the Science Park of Mystery and the notorious Holgates (Hogwarts) Hall, this Danish pastry is worth the trek.

For the average bargain hunting student, this offer is surely one to be snapped up with zeal. The generous portions are also a pick-me-up for any victim of neglect during this otherwise love packed period. Although not at the standard of great chocolate mousse, Aero still feels indulgently good. Do not be alarmed by the [...]
