Cafe Rouge, Petergate
By Ben Crawley — March 19, 2004
Finding a table for two on a Saturday night can turn into an ordeal, playing it safe by going to a branch of a restaurant chain is a good bet, but don’t let a student budget put you off Café Rouge in favour of Bella Italia or McDonalds. The maitre-d’ inflicted an excruciating wait upon [...]

Next term sees the launch of a brand new YSTV show in which eight of York University’s most minor celebrities are stranded in a Yorkshire Job Centre with only a copy of the Viosin Power List to defend themselves.

Anne Donovan, Hieroglyphics
By Ben Crawley — February 16, 2004
As a format the short story is problematic: it takes some skill to carry off a whole book of them, and it takes an open mind to read them without feeling betrayal when they end prematurely.

Campus Breakfasts
By Ben Crawley — October 28, 2003
Confronted with big trays of sausages and bacon I got stuck in, complimenting them with a calorie fest of fried bread fried tomato and egg.

Skin, Fleshwounds
By Ben Crawley — May 13, 2003
Distinctive voice, feisty attitude, looks to kill – female lead singers need a little bit of each to succeed in rock music still largely dominated by men. Deborah Anne Dyer, better known as Skin from Skunk Anansie, has all three qualities in abundance. Despite a few successful singles during the nineties it was Skin’s shaven [...]

By Ben Crawley — March 10, 2003
A cynic might suggest that YSCA was cushy nine grand earner for Mags Parker, as the post was uncontested this year, however Mags vehemently denies this claim. YSCA is a passion for Mags, at least that is her response to all those who ask why she didn’t stand for Services Officer, which many perceive to [...]

Election time heralds a new era for the Students’ Union, and Term Two, 2003 draws to a close.
