Exhibition at York to raise profile of amateur boxing club
By Andreas Masoura — June 19, 2007
IN THE first event of its kind, York University Boxing Club held a series of three round fights. The exhibition successfully raised the profile of the club and will provide the chance for members to take on other universities competitively in the future.
Embracing a bright new future: poverty, crime and deviance
By Andreas Masoura — June 1, 2007
So Heslington East has been approved and is set to go ahead any time soon (in the next 20 years). That’s fantastic, if you happen to be born post-2009, are vaguely intelligent and are set to apply to the University of York (the expanded version as opposed to the current dilapidated expanse of concrete slabs).
Immigrants and Hugh Hefner: the perils this University faces

Immigration
I’ve just spotted an advert for The Daily Vision’s forthcoming recruitment drive. After promptly jotting down the details in my ethically produced diary (only two exploited labourers died in the Cambodian factory, well below average), I realised it was a waste of time.
Pornography and weaponry: boys’ toys for YUSU and OTC
By Andreas Masoura — March 6, 2007
Given the generally reserved and predominantly politically correct culture that pervades the University, I wasn’t surprised at the sheer outrage that met the York University Officer Training Corps’ decision to host a ‘German’ Social.
Terrorism, violence and alarming incompetence: Welcome to York

Incompetence on campus
As the deconstruction and deterioration of the University of York continues, with Porters being the latest asset to gradually disappear after the closure of so many bars last term, I sit pondering what might go next. Perhaps, with any luck, the Roger Kirk Centre might be bulldozed. The toilets could then be auctioned, providing funding for a facility or two.
Fascists, anarchists and Daleks: the political whirlwind of York University

Dalek attacks students
Apparently a local York resident who is fed up of noisy students walking by his house has responded by constructing a Dalek outside. Once a student approaches the house, the Dalek’s inbuilt student sensor (the malevolent local huddling within the contraption) triggers off a vicious vocal attack

Andreas Masoura takes a satirical look at York’s main activities: bingo and stripping
Full House
Apparently the calm around campus during Freshers’ week was unsettled one evening after Toffs. Screams of “Bingo” cracked through the night air after yet another Full House was achieved. The mystery surrounding campus was soon unearthed as yet another pure, innocent and naïve student was deflowered. As well as having an unquestionable concern for the welfare of students, the Students’ Union allegedly adopts a hands on approach when it comes to helping freshers settle in.

Andreas Masouras commemorates the end of the Nouse year by offending as many people as possible
Cavity Search
The Government has recently ordered members of staff at York University to be on the look out for any ‘Muslim extremist’ or ‘terrorist’ activity. These spotters will be required to keep an eye on particular students (the tanned, Middle Eastern looking ones like me) making a note of strange behaviour and performing strip searches if neccessary.

Andreas Masoura has just moved in next door to our editor, whose house was broken into the next day. Coincidence?
Goodricke screws Vision
Unfortunately, this year’s hoard of freshers will be missing out on a vital part of their Freshers’ Week experience. No, I’m not referring to the kitchens in Goodricke that have gone missing, but to the delay in Vision’s publication.

Andreas Masoura: this year he’s won as many awards as Vision
The brothels revealed
An exclusive Vision underground investigation has discovered the York brothel. Apparently a Vision journalist was offered sex for money. If you’re that desperate, go to Ziggys and buy a mediocre looking female a K2, a true bargain at £1.50. That won’t be difficult, we’re in York.
