Star Letter
Dear Nouse,
All the posters on campus definitely brighten the place up but how much notice is being paid to them by those who make the decisions? I’m not sure, but I would imagine very little.
I think if the students are to win this one then we will need to hit them where it hurts. I propose cutting their budget like they so often cut ours by refusing to pay accommodation fees, tuition fees, boycotting the bars, the canteens, the snack machines, the little facilities we have and the shops that ply their traide in Market Square. If only 30% of the students were to take these actions I’m sure it would force Brian Cantor to take us students seriously.
Maybe it’s too late to make a difference and who am I to try? A mere first year undergraduate at this once respected university, but a student who does not feel his £3000 a year is getting him all it should and one who is not prepared to take this lying down. Do not allow Cantor to once again take from the students at the University of York; it’s your university, fight for it!
It sounds quite extreme when you compare it to the efforts of Croker but this is how students are supposed to campaign. I remember the images of the 60s at the University of York and they embarrass us by comparison.
Why have we become so apathetic?
