Well it’s 2009, and I’m sure many resolutions have been made (and broken). Exams are now out of the way, and sport at York is starting to get back into full swing.

The Mixer
By Nouse — January 21, 2009
Wednesday afternoon. Sport o’clock. As The Mixer surveys the lush green loveliness of the 22 Acres under the crisp spring sunshine, hoards of York’s finest, bedecked in amber and black, prowl for BUCS points. So, where the f**k is everyone?
Such a tourist
By Nouse — January 20, 2009
Take off your jumper when you come in. Remove the barriers, the physical coverings that hide a body mutilated. An outside that reflects an inside torn apart but still forced to remain whole. Cling tightly, don’t let it go. Rub your hands nervously up and down your forearms, wring your hands so that the marks [...]
Social Pariah
By Lily Eastwood — January 20, 2009
I patted Alicia’s back as she pawed her way through her chips in pitta. It was a miracle she didn’t have any sick in her hair. “I like garlic mayo.” “I know you do.” “I like it so much.” “Yup.” “Do you want some garlic mayo?” “No.” Mainly because the only place I could take [...]

The north versus south debate is over. The southerners got bored of it and northerners – well, the northerners are for the most part clinically obese. So they waddled home to eat troughs of black pudding and discuss coalmining and beat up their ballet-dancing brothers. Fine, you got me. I’m a southern fairy or, as [...]
Obama’s alternative agenda: ‘maybe we can’t’
By Peter Campbell — January 20, 2009
When Obama walks into the Oval Office he will be faced with an in-tray that can only be described as ‘from-hell’.
Crisis in Gaza: The Debate
By George Galloway and Neil Lazarus — January 20, 2009
Neil Lazarus: Have people forgotten what Hamas is? A terrorist organization that has threatened moderate Palestinians and Israelis alike. So why has Israel decided to fight Hamas?
George Galloway: As I write the death toll in Gaza is reaching 1,000 – nearly 400 of them confirmed as children. I dread to think what the figure will be by the time you read this.
Kashmir: Living in the crossfire
By Henry James Foy — January 20, 2009
Surrounded by barbed wire and filled with soldiers brandishing submachine guns, Srinagar Airport, with international ambitions and dreams of becoming India’s northern hub, is more Guantanamo than Gatwick. Outside of the airport’s sentry towers and heavy gates, the overwhelming military presence continues. Soldiers, idly fiddling with rifles or chatting in small groups, outnumber civilians who huddle in groups by the side of the road. Shutters on shops are closed, traffic is minimal.
The recession will affect students
By Camilla Jenkins — January 20, 2009
Students think they are insulated from the current recession. The most obvious effects of the credit crunch like declining house prices and rising unemployment don’t affect us, at least not yet, and rock-bottom retail sales and bars and restaurants desperate for business seem positively beneficial.
Deanna Oppenheimer, CEO of Barclays Retail Bank, sees things differently. She confirms what we have managed to deny so far: “Students need to be aware that the current financial climate will affect them. This is completely unprecedented and world-wide.” she says, “We haven’t seen the bottom of this yet and 2009 is going to be a tough year.”

It was only late last year that I first delved into the compelling world of fashion blogs. For years I have been devoted to all the monthly magazines and a regular habitué on their websites, but only in September did I start finding the more personal, day to day, fashion diary blogs

YUHS protests as riots seize Greece
By Peter Young — January 20, 2009
FOR MANY Greek citizens, last month’s shooting of 15 year -old Alexandros Grigoropoulos was the straw that the broke the camel’s back. A nation already troubled by a struggling economy, mass unemployment and corruption in Parliament reacted with horror to what they saw as an unprovoked and tragic loss of life.
