You are sincerely mistaken if you think the people were protesting were hippies. They were ordinary students who care about having adequate facilities for an intake of new students.

Anyway, come down to Vanbrugh Paradise at 11.30am tomorrow for another chance to make your voice heard. We’ll be heading over to Heslington Hall for a ‘Protest Picnic.’

The last thing Cantor needs to do is explain the bleeding obvious to some protesters in asbestos suits. The suits themselves give away the reason the bar isn’t going to be built in time! It’s chock full of asbestos!

As are central hall and physics…far more important to the running of the uni than langwith bar. Safety first…

I think I would have done the same as Brian Cantor, was I greeted by a group of over-reacting, sign-wielding hippies.

Oh, Manicurist…….
Students care very much about bars.
And not about nails.
Which is why I love drinking but ain’t bothered about nails.

PROTEST WAS AMAZING
GO YUSU, GO MATT BURTON

Library Porter: Get out right now
Protester: ….I want a book!
Library Porter: Outside please.
Protester: But…I want a book…
Library Porter: If you want to protest, do it outside.
Protester: no books?

Yes, only a few people popped by the library, but it was fantastic. I’d back the YUSU bar for October just on the basis of seeing those outfits!

That’s because we weren’t allowed to come in.
We were being quiet - not loud - in the library but were informed that we weren’t sticking to the library’s supposed dress code.

There were 150 protestors in all today.

The protest made its way loudly into the library late afternoon, and was very quickly thrown out by the security guy. It was very very funny. There definitely weren’t 100 in the library though.
