Occupation movement comes to Newcastle
Jack Lofgren The global Occupy movement reached Newcastle last week as a small group of protesters set up camp beneath Grey’s Monument. The protesters pitched tents on the concrete and draped banners over the landmark, stating “We Are The 99%” and warning “This Is Just The Beginning.” The movement, dubbed ‘Occupy Newcastle’, is an extension of the larg-‐ er protests started on September 17 in New York City. The protesters, or ‘occupiers,’ de-‐ scribe their actions as a response to the purported growing economic ine-‐ “An occupation is not simply a protest;; it is a demonstration of how our society could be” Comment, p9 quality in the UK and across the West. The demands of the occupiers vary from person to person, and neither the Newcastle protest nor the larger protests in Wall Street have any clear leadership. ϐ anti-‐consumerist Canadian magazine Adbuster and was propagated through Facebook and other internet media by the “hacktivist” group Anonymous, who attend protests with their signa-‐ ture Guy Fawkes mask popularised by ϐ V for Ven-‐ detta. By October 9, protests had spread to over 900 cities worldwide, and an estimated 100,000 people had par-‐ ticipated, according to the New York Times. The aims of the protesters vary from
country to country. The Wall Street protesters focus on a recent court ruling in America allowing corpora-‐ tions to spend unlimited amounts of money on political campaigns. European protests, meanwhile, have tended to be Eurosceptic, focusing on the problems with the European Un-‐ ion and the European economic crisis surrounding the Greek bailout. One theme that is universal among the protesters is the wealth gap between rich and poor and economic inequal-‐ ity. “We don’t claim to represent the 99%,” Jack Richardson, a carpenter and occupier, explained, referring to the demographic not part of the wealthiest 1%. “We are putting forward a point of view that we believe the 99% of peo-‐ ple can get with. We don’t care about your political perspective... The ma-‐ jority of people in the world seem to be... getting to the point where they can or must acknowledge that the ϐ way it’s run... that wealth is extracted and shipped upwards to create huge wealth disparities.” On banners spread across the ϐ ǡ a spray-‐painted white sheet exclaim-‐ ing “My Fight Your Fight Our Fight!”, a makeshift sign of cardboard read-‐ ing “Slave To The Banks Capitalism Is Dead!” and a leaf of notebook paper ǡ Dz ǡ ϐ ǡ ǡ Cameron.” The occupied landmark, Grey’s Monument, is named after Charles Grey, the Second Earl Grey, who was an important member of the Whig party and instrumental in parliamen-‐ tary reform and the abolition of slav-‐ ery in 1832.

Newcastle University has announced a new ‘Promise Scholarship Scheme’ to provide 20 fully paid scholarships of £9,000 each to local students with ϐ ϐ Ǯ Ǧ demic potential.’
ǡ ϐ the University has pledged to spend at least £55 million on ‘’bursaries, fee waivers and activities that will help us to widen participation’’ accord-‐ ing to Pro-‐Vice Chancellor for teach-‐ ing and learning, Professor Suzanne Cholerton. By investing this money, it is hoped that more students from a wider range of backgrounds will en-‐ rol at the University. This comes after the increase of tui-‐ tion fees to £9,000 at Newcastle Uni-‐ versity, which some fear may put off potential students from less advan-‐ taged backgrounds. David Pearman, Chair of Schools North East and Head teacher of Ken-‐ ton School, applauded the move and said that it would be tragic if bright but less privileged students were put off attending university by the in-‐ crease in fees. Unveiling the new plans, Professor Cholerton said “We recognise that the introduction of tuition fees will have a ϐ people and their families make about their futures. We hope that by provid-‐ ϐ packages we can help them to see that studying at Newcastle is an aspiration that is within their reach.” Through these various support packages, Newcastle University hopes ϐ ǡͲͲͲ ϐ Ǥ ǡ University ranks 5th in the UK for em-‐ ployability of its graduates and 10th in the UK for student satisfaction.

Scott Caffrey, from Walker in New-‐ castle, is an undergraduate at the Uni-‐ ϐ Ǧ sary which is enabling him to study a Mathematics degree. He argues that without the bursary he would not have been able to be-‐ ϐ to attend university. Speaking to The Courier he ex-‐ plained ‘’without the extra cash I
received as a bursary it would have made it much harder to attend uni-‐ versity. It just gives you an extra safety net. Most of the people I went to school with didn’t even consider going to university even though many were capable of it.’’ It is because of these concerns of potential students like Scott that the university has made the move to dra-‐ ϐ for poorer students. To show how important and far reaching these initiatives are we should put them into context. In 2006-‐2007 the University popu-‐ lation stood at 19,700 including post-‐ graduates. These are the last known ϐ increased. ϐ Ǧ

I don’t know what other universities are doing, but it really seems like Newcastle is making an effort to help support poorer students in the cur-‐ rent economic depression.” It can therefore be seen that the ‘Promise Scholarship Scheme’ and other associated support efforts are a great step forward to making a Uni-‐ versity education more possible for the less-‐privileged.

Students  do  summit  special Johnny  Farrar-Ââ€?Bell During  the  summer  holidays,  three  leading  members  of  the  Newcas-Ââ€? tle  University  Fellwalking  Society  (NUFWS)  arrived  back  from  France  after  a  truly  momentous  ascent  of  Mt  Blanc.   Seond  year  students  Pete  Kemp  and  Jamie  Dodd,  along  with  third  year  Rich  Farran  explained  to  The  Courier  how  they  had  started  planning  the  trip  in  March.  It  was  only  when  they  were  out  in  France,  near  Chamonix,  that  they  actually  decided  to  tackle  the  4810m  mountain  –  the  plan  ini-Ââ€? tially  being  a  “bit  of  a  jokeâ€?.  Such  was  the  spur-Ââ€?of-Ââ€?the-Ââ€?moment  nature  of  the  trip  that  Pete  didn’t  even  tell  his  par-Ââ€? ents  they  were  planning  to  climb  Mt  Blanc  until  the  night  before.  With  only  Jamie  having  climbed Â

the  Bosses  Ridge  –  the  most  treacher-Ââ€? ous  part  of  the  mountain.  The  three  climbers  had  to  be  roped  together  for  fear  of  plunging  to  their  deaths  off  the  knife-Ââ€?edge  ridge  and  all  the  while  oxy-Ââ€? gen  levels  were  falling  fast.  Tiredness  was  now  acute  -Ââ€?  “doing  small  things  was  an  absolute  mission.’’  With  their  ǎǯÂ?—•…Ž‡• ‘Â?

What is the global ‘Occupy’ movement? George Sandeman News Editor The stat most bandied about to gauge the size of the occupation has been ‘951 cities in 82 coun-‐ tries’. Ǧ ϐ for the movement aren’t possible because it’s a grassroots-‐fuelled project that lacks central coordi-‐ nation. However, the underlying themes of many of the individual move-‐ ments run along the lines of anti-‐ capitalism, the “moneyed corrup-‐ tion of our democracy” by major banks and corporations as well as “exposing how the 1% exploit the 99%.” The 99% theme is present in seemingly every individual protest and seeks to highlight the suggest-‐ ed truth that the 1% -‐ denoting the wealthiest people in the world -‐ are responsible for the recent global recession. They are also blamed for the record-‐breaking high levels of un-‐ employment currently plaguing Western economies and there is a consistent feeling that they have not atoned for these wrongdoings.
Thus, all the while, everyday peo-‐ ple, the 99%, suffer the effects of ͳΨǯ ϐ Ǧ ity through joblessness and even homelessness. Wall Street saw the original gath-‐ ering of 1000 individuals in Zuc-‐ cotti Park on September 17 and by October 15 there were report-‐ edly over 900 cities with copy-‐ cat protests. Madrid and London have seen large protests too with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange addressing over 2000 people camped out in St. Paul’s Square. A common sight at the protests has been the Guy Fawkes mask. The symbolism isn’t clear but his-‐ torically it has been seen in a mul-‐ titude of different protest move-‐ ments. It was popularized in the 1980s by the comic “V for Vendetta” ʹͲͲ ϐ Ǧ ring Hugo Weaving and Natalie Portman. One thing that is abundantly clear from the protests is that this isn’t about a single issue. Rather, it wants to address what is seen as the destruction of mod-‐ ern society but in a manner apo-‐ litical and fuelled by populism; the 99%.
Inside ‘Occupy Newcastle’ Beth Staunton Politics Editor On their third night camping out at Grey’s Monument, the ‘Occupy New-‐ castle’ group’s main concern was get-‐ ting everyone under a small sheet of tarpaulin and out from the rain that had just begun to lash down. Unfortu-‐ nately, most still got soaked. Visiting the occupation again on a sunnier day, I asked a Northumbria University student, Jake Bell, why he felt it was important for people to be taking part in this action. “Everyone has their own individual reason to be here, which tells you a lot about how people feel about the way things are,” he said. “When a tiny per-‐ centage of the population own a huge percentage of the wealth, you know something’s not right.” The protesters at Monument evi-‐ dently come from a range of back-‐ grounds. Some are students, some are local school pupils and some are seasoned veteran activists. The Newcastle Free Education Net-‐ work (NFEN), a Newcastle University group that campaigns against educa-‐ tion cuts and kick-‐started the occupa-‐ tion of the Fine Arts building last year, has been involved with the protest camp-‐out. NFEN member and Medical stu-‐

dent at Newcastle University, Pete Campbell, commented “NFEN recog-‐ nises the combined struggle of many against the government, not just those in education. We are all being forced ϐ ϐ Ǥ Is it right that the majority should pay while those responsible for the crisis suffer no repercussions?”
Although this occupation may not achieve any direct results, Jake em-‐ phasises that they are there “in soli-‐ darity with occupations across the world.” Asked how long they intend to stay he replied “Well, until the police kick us off, or we run out of food. So, in-‐ ϐ dzǤ
“Civil disobedience by peaceful means” Continued from front page 1 mained peaceful. The occupiers are frequently engaged in verbal alterca-‐ tions and exchanges with passers-‐ by regarding socialism and capital-‐ ism. “Civil disobedience by peaceful means,” Matthew Green, a musician, said, explaining his views on the Oc-‐ cupy Newcastle protest. “We’ve been here for four days and nights so far, and there have been peo-‐ ple expressing the opinion of ‘as long as it takes,’” Green elaborated. “‘As long as it takes’ could be as long as it takes for us to get too cold or when the police say they’ve had enough but honestly, I think the police have been really supportive. “One policeman said to us, ‘Thank you for doing what you’re doing. We can’t express opinions on the job, but thank you,’ and shook our hand.” The occupiers at Grey’s Monument
have two small tents and a larger open tent to serve as makeshift liv-‐ ing quarters to protect them against the wind and rain, in addition to lawn chairs, coolers, portable camp-‐ ing stoves, sleeping bags, tubs full of housewares and non-‐perishable gro-‐ ceries. The Slovenian Philosopher Slavoj ~ ā ǡ Ǧ cupy Wall Street protest, said: “They tell you we are dreamers. The true dreamers are those who think ϐ they are. We are not dreamers. We are awakening from a dream which is turning into a nightmare. We are not destroying anything.

Popularity of UK as a place to study proved by doubled intake in international students Rebecca Goor The number of international students studying at British universities has doubled in the last decade, a recent study has shown. Over 280,000 students from coun-‐ tries outside the EU studied in the UK this year. This increase shows that UK uni-‐ versities remain a popular choice for overseas students, despite the report by Universities UK (UUK) revealing that British universities face height-‐ ened competition from other coun-‐ tries. China provides the most under-‐ graduates from outside the EU, while the most international postgraduates come from India. ϐ into the UK is a small part of the wider ‘internationalisation’ that is happening in universities around the Ǥ ǡ -‐ lege London (UCL) proudly proclaims itself to be ‘London’s Global Univer-‐ sity.’ Newcastle University has a diverse community of students, with almost 4,000 international students from over 110 countries worldwide. They pay anywhere between £10,000 and £14,000 a year depending on their degree programme.
The popularity of the University may be largely due to the support net-‐ work available for overseas students, including the ‘INTO Newcastle Uni-‐ versity’ programme, which provides guidance to international students before they enter higher education in the UK. The popularity of the UK may also ǯ Ǥ ǡ US, students can end up paying any-‐ where between $5,000 and $50,000, ǡ some students paying the equivalent of £31,400 every year.
“Over 280,000 students from countries outside the EU studied in the UK this year.” The report also marked a sharp rise in European students in the UK – an increase of a third in the last ten years. Around 125,000 people trav-‐ elled to the UK from mainland Eu-‐ rope to study last year, compared to 35,000 a decade ago. Students from EU countries receive the same sub-‐ sidised loans as Brits and contribute
to the cap on student numbers; the ϐ the competition for university places for British applicants. However, Euro-‐ pean students still only account for 1 in 20 higher education places. Overall, student numbers have in-‐ creased by 28%, with 2.5 million peo-‐ ple now entering higher education annually. The rise in British univer-‐ sity students is below the average at 20.6% -‐ just above 2 million. ϐ -‐ ically from the increase in student numbers; tuition fees now account for a third of total university income. The amount that universities receive from tuition fees has increased from £13bn in 2000-‐01 to £27bn a decade later. Professor Paul O’Prey, chair-‐ man of the UUK, commented that the higher education sector is now “one for the UK economy.” Tuition fees from international stu-‐ dents in particular are making an in-‐ valuable contribution to the higher education sector, as students from outside the EU often pay up to eight times as much as British and EU un-‐ dergraduates. The revenue that universities earn from overseas students has increased from £746m to £2.6bn in the last dec-‐ ade. This may suggest that UK uni-‐ versities are becoming increasingly
dependent on tuition fees to compen-‐ sate for the lack of state funding. Revenue earned through tuition fees is likely to increase during the current parliament, with government spending cuts meaning that students from Britain and EU countries could pay up to £9000 for their degree. Conservative spending cuts also mean that universities are less sub-‐ sidised, increasing their reliance on tuition fees.
“The revenue that universities earn from overseas students has increased from £746m to £2.6bn in the last decade.” The Labour Party has raised fears that the Conservative Party’s plans to reduce the amount of post-‐study work visas issued will drastically harm the British economy. Last year, 39,000 visas were grant-‐ ed to students from outside the EU for up to two years, but the current government wants to cut this by half. With other countries, including Ger-‐
many and Canada, proposing to allow foreign graduates a year to search for work, the UK faces the risk of becom-‐ ing less attractive to international students. Labour academic Lord Parekh com-‐ mented that the government had made “a great mistake in restricting post-‐study work visas.” Other factors highlighted by the report included a shift in students studying more practical degrees, such as architecture, building and plan-‐ ning, which increased in popularity by 40%. Subjects which suffered a decline included history, philosophy and Ǥ ϐ increased competition for graduate jobs. A report by Lord Browne in 2010 revealed that the average fee paid by students globally is £1,427 a year, with the UK average at £7,000. Countries like Germany and France average at £845 and £125 respec-‐ tively with countries such as Sweden, Finland and Norway not charging any fees to their domestic students at state universities. ϐ ǡ however, could be negatively affected by the rhetoric surrounding new gov-‐ ernmental policies based on visas.
Languages aid ‘mind-‐training’ Ruth Bader
New research shows that learning another language may well change, and even improve, the way our brains work. A new book edited by Newcas-‐ tle University’s Professor Vivian Cook and Dr Benedetta Bassetti from the University of York, says: “[Without studying languages] an integral part of the brain’s learning capacity rusts unused.” “We already knew that [...] bilin-‐ gualism has positive effects on the brain at both ends of life,” said Profes-‐ sor Cook. He and Dr Bassetti suggest that bilingualism serves as a form of ‘mind-‐training’, because learning a language involves embracing new concepts. So, young children who know two languages understand concepts like beliefs, intents, and pre-‐ tending earlier, and bilingualism can even postpone the onset of dementia. In 2010 Education Secretary Mi-‐ chael Gove defended the inclusion of a foreign language in the controver-‐ sial new English Baccalaureate. Although now studying Biology, In-‐ dia spent her gap year on a language course in Salamanca, Spain. “Having ϐ feel that I have a deeper understand-‐ ing of Spanish culture”. Professor Cook also suggests that bilinguals are able to make links between cultures that monolingual people (who speak only one language) cannot. He gives
and Italian combining pasta and a cup of tea when asked to describe lunch. On the other hand, Newcastle Fresher Matt’s multi-‐cultural prefer-‐ ence for curry sauce on his chips does not stem from knowledge of South Asian languages. While learning a language acts as ǡ are plenty of other ways of learning about and linking together different cultures. Like many of us, History and Poli-‐ tics student Michael does not speak another language but points out that “many historians know other peo-‐ ple’s countries better than the people living there, even if they don’t speak ϐ dzǤ ǯ still hope for those of us who struggle to conjugate irregular verbs after all. Still, this research has revealed some bizarre effects on the way speakers of different languages see Ǥ ǡ than German speakers do, and it’s Fendi and Prada. It lies in the gram-‐ ǣ Ǯ ǯ -‐ ian, while it’s masculine in German. Professor Cook discusses how peo-‐ -‐ press themselves must come to have slightly different views of the world. While this home-‐grown research re-‐ veals another intriguing way in which we differ from other nationalities, it also shows us a new, subtle, intimate way in which we can connect.

Graduates don’t have skills to pay the bills Employers feel that students lack key characteristics when they graduate Patrick McHugh A recent survey of UK businesses has found that approximately one in four companies feel UK graduates do not possess the right skills for entering the workforce. The poll, which surveyed some of the UK’s largest employers – includ-‐ ing BT, Santander and Kraft – also found a growing concern for basic work ethic. In response to the survey, one employer stated that young peo-‐ ple lacked “attention to detail” and “willingness to be of service to oth-‐ ers.” John May, chief executive of the Young Enterprise charity which con-‐ ducted the survey, expressed dismay at the attitude of prospective employ-‐ ees. He claims “young recruits are presenting themselves for interview without the vital employability skills that employers look for – such as at-‐ tendance, punctuality… and a general ‘can do attitude.’” “Many businesses are using the lack of employability skills they see among school leavers as well as graduates as an excuse to employ foreign workers or shift work abroad,” added May. An uncomfortable thought, as it comes in the same week that the UK unemploy-‐ ment rate reaches its highest level since 1994. Mr May stressed a belief that the ϐ their education. “One thing is pretty clear,” he said, “the education system must concern itself in future with more than simply exams.” One way of overcoming this, he suggests, is by encouraging “businesses to send staff into schools to help young people learn about the world of work.” ϐ amidst growing concern about the nature of education in the country. Just last week Dr Anthony Seldon, head of Wellington College in Berk-‐ shire, accused schools of being “exam factories”, labelling schooling as “a kind of sausage process machine whereby all that seems to matter is

this end result.” A spokesman for the Department of Education has responded to Seldon’s comments by saying that “Ministers have been clear that they want to end the culture of constant exams and re-‐ sits which prevents pupils from get-‐ ting in-‐depth subject knowledge.” Not everybody shares the same concern about practical education. When asked, Nick Keeley, Director of the University’s Careers Service, criti-‐
cised the government’s increasingly “instrumentalist approach”. Mr Keeley suggested that education is used too much as an economic “means to an end” and at the same time appealed to a need for “learning for learning’s sake.” He did, however, highlight the opportunities that the University pro-‐ vides to help students gain access to work and skill development. There was also the suggestion that students need to be more individual
in their adoption of their education, concluding that students need “to identify what skills they are develop-‐ ing, where they think the gaps are and ϐ gaps”. Others have less of a regard for the need to develop skills through extra-‐ curricular activities. James McCreesh, a graduate trainee in the distribution sector of a major supermarket, im-‐ plied that his degree was all that mat-‐
tered in getting a job. “I had summer jobs while I was at university, but oth-‐ er than that, I’ve not really done any-‐ thing extra-‐curricular”. When asked if he thinks others could succeed in the same way, he responded “It depends on your degree really. Mine was spe-‐ ϐ ǡ but I don’t think you’d get the same job with a generic degree without go-‐ ing out of your way to get training”.
Internships exposed as unemployment rises Beth Staunton Politics Editor ϐ youth joblessness has almost reached 1 million, its highest number since the early nineties when the Conserva-‐ tive Party were last in power. ϐ stated that youth unemployment is rising at a faster rate than unemploy-‐ ment as a whole. Having a degree hasn’t protected ϐ work. Figures reveal that 18-‐24 year olds made up 77, 000 of the 80,000 people that swelled the number of people unemployed over the sum-‐ mer, as graduates and school-‐leavers ϐ lacking in opportunities. As desperation heightens among

It’s a murky area ϐ volunteer position or a work place-‐ ment, and therefore unpaid, and what actually turns out to be more like a full-‐time job, and employers are ex-‐ ϐ Ǥ This issue has been all over the na-‐ tional press recently as various cam-‐ paigns, such as Interns Anonymous and Internocracy have sprung up to raise awareness about the issue. In addition, a recent BBC Panorama pro-‐ gramme, ‘All Work and Low Pay’, high-‐ lighted the role of unpaid internships as being part of a bigger problem of employers paying less than minimum wage or nothing at all in various in-‐
dustries. A major campaign about the issue is ‘Pay Your Interns!’: a naming and shaming campaign run by a website for job-‐seeking graduates, Graduate Fog. The campaign has targeted vari-‐ ous companies. It has exposed Top-‐ shop as paying its interns only £3.50 a day, while still demanding interns ϐ ǡ ϐ Ǥ ϐ -‐ vertising a nine-‐month unpaid intern position. In both instances, duties, necessary skills and responsibilities have been outlined, making them look suspiciously like full-‐time jobs. The biggest offenders, though, have proved to be politics and the media. Panorama interviewed a graduate of Hull University who actually ended up paying to work for an MP. With the minimum wage raised this
October to £6.08 an hour, many em-‐ ployers have pleaded that it is unaf-‐ fordable for them to pay their interns, and by not offering internships at all they would deny young people the chance to gain invaluable experience. Tanya de Grunwald, founder of Graduate Fog, has responded to these complaints in a statement on the cam-‐ paign website, commenting ‘’The ma-‐ jority of interns are doing real work that needs to be done -‐ so employers ϐ Ǥ ϐ they need are not proper businesses -‐ and they probably never had any intention of offering their intern(s) a proper job, ever.’’ What these campaigns are attempt-‐ ing to do is unpin some of the claims made about internships: that they are usually followed up with permanent
positions, and that the work done by interns isn’t really of economic value to the company and therefore not worth a wage. Although there are many legal loopholes for employers, there have been some success stories for unpaid interns. Keri Hudson, a student at Bournemouth University, won back ϐ ǯ from the review site ‘My Village’ at an employment tribunal. Cracking down on unpaid internships may not improve the economic climate, but these campaigns aim to reassert the principle of workers’ labour not be-‐ ing exploited and to give young peo-‐ ple a greater awareness of their own rights.

n  Saturday  October  15  a  ga-Ââ€? zebo,  some  tents  and  sev-Ââ€? eral  banners  were  set  up  at  Monument  and  an  Occupa-Ââ€? tion  began.  In  1,500  cities  across  82  countries,  others  did  the  same.  No  po-Ââ€? litical  party,  Union  branch  or  student  network  has  set  this  up;  this  has  come  from  ordinary  people.  People  like  us,  who  are  scared  about  joining  the  2.57  million  people  unemployed  in  this  country.  People  who  are  angry  about  the  cost  of  living  rising  at  a  much  higher  rate  than  wages  are.  People  who  have  seen  the  price  of  chocolate  bars  double  in  our  lifetime,  and  know  it  is  not  a  good  sign.  This  all  began  on  September  17,  when  over  2000  people  began  oc-Ââ€? cupying  Wall  Street  in  New  York.  You  might  not  have  heard  about  this  though,  as  the  American  government  restricted  the  media  from  spread-Ââ€? ing  the  story,  in  case  people  realised  it  was  a  good  idea.  Unfortunately  for  them,  word  got  out,  and  now  people  from  China  to  South  Africa,  Israel  to  Iceland,  have  united  to  express  their  disgust  at  our  current  system.  An  oc-Ââ€? cupation  is  not  simply  a  protest;  it  is  a  demonstration  of  how  our  society  could  be.  A  community  is  created,  as  Rory  Peace  agrees,  as  a  student  from  Newcastle  College  he  struggles  to  af-Ââ€? ford  the  metro  in  every  day  since  the  cutting  of  EMA.  “The  most  important  thing  is  communication;  we  need  to  encourage  debate.  Met  a  lad  who  said  he  supported  the  Tories,  and  yet  he  understood  and  believed  what  we  were  doing  is  important,  and  dem-Ââ€? onstrating  true  democracy.  We  are  all  just  individuals  and  the  end  of  the  day.â€?  All  decisions  are  made  together  on  a  consensus  basis,  food  is  cooked  together,  shelter  is  made  together  and  skills  are  shared.  For  example,  banner Â

Should private schools have charitable status? Laura Wotton
Yes
I
t’s fair to say I’d happily grant myself a so-‐called ‘charitable sta-‐ tus’ for the simple action of send-‐ ing clothes to Oxfam or picking up a child’s dropped ice cream. So it is perhaps hardly surprising that, in the light of the 2006 Charities Act, I found myself highly indignant about the ex-‐ tent to which English and Welsh pri-‐ vate schools had to go in order to de-‐ ϐ millions of pounds in taxation. According to the Upper Tribunal, too much emphasis was placed on the offering of bursaries to poorer stu-‐ dents. The Charities Charity Commis-‐ sion seemingly disregarded the chari-‐ table efforts private schools were making in the form of community service and the funding of local state schools. Certainly I cannot condemn such bursaries, being someone who ϐ ǡ ϐ that private schools were subject to surely contributed to only a narrow Ǯ ϐ ǯǤ English and Welsh private schools have claimed victory over the land-‐ mark legal battle concerning what they must do to maintain their chari-‐ table status. The Upper Tribunal has dictated that a range of charitable factors aside from bursaries would now be acknowledged, putting some much-‐needed power in the hands of the schools’ trustees. Indeed, the tribunal recognized the need for such schools to have their own independence to a certain ex-‐ tent, performing their charitable ef-‐ forts according to the resources at hand, surely allowing a much broader ϐ Ǥ Ǧ pendent School’s councillor, Matthew ǡ ϐ this independence stating that “each school is in the best position to deter-‐ ϐ Ǧ ϐ dzǡ and that “the commission’s former
approach […] had the effect of reduc-‐ ϐ schools to a crude calculation of fees and bursaries.” ϐ sensible and, could I even say, excit-‐ ing. The originality and innovation of public schools’ charitable efforts can be encouraged and still better, rewarded with schools around the country already embarking upon mass collaborations with local com-‐ prehensives for the sharing of sports equipment and classroom materials. ǯ ϐ Ǥ The £260 million that independent schools were originally spending on bursaries was beside a joke; the schools’ bursars claimed it to be more ϐ Ǥ Such schools can and should gain a charitable status through other, less costly means such as supplementing the cost of learning resources, com-‐ puters and teachers’ wages in local state schools, rather than simply re-‐ moving students from the publically-‐ funded system. The commission’s skewed sense of what is ϐ for the pub-‐ lic has been lifted and re-‐ worked. The question re-‐ mains as to whether pri-‐ vate schools should main-‐ tain their c h a r i t a b l e statuses in re-‐ gard to ISC’s amendments last Friday. I would say a b s o l u t e l y : whilst tack-‐ ling the ex-‐ cess of ex-‐ p e n d i t u r e towards bur-‐ saries, private schools have been granted the liberty to use their re-‐ sources both ϐ and effective-‐ ly in order to ϐ public’s best interests.

No
W
hat springs to mind when you hear the word “char-‐ ity”? An organisation which shelters the home-‐ less, rescues stray animals, or pro-‐ vides aid to those suffering in third world countries, perhaps? But what about a private school? Probably not. Yet it’s a fact that independent private schools in England and Wales can gain charitable status, provided they Dz ϐ dz in the 2006 Charities Act. In a recent ruling, a tribunal of the
ϐ schools must demonstrate a wider ϐ own pupils. Yet, in a shocking move, the tribunal also ruled that the Char-‐ ity Commission can no longer require that these subsidies be awarded sole-‐ ly to those from poorer backgrounds. Now, provided a private school reach-‐ es a low threshold in helping the dis-‐ advantaged (the provision of 10% subsidised places to disadvantaged pupils was suggested to be “prob-‐ ably” enough), it can do what it wants Dz ϐ dzǤ This seems absurd. Private schools with charitable status in England and Wales currently receive extensive tax breaks worth around £100million a year. In my view, this money should be spent helping those from disad-‐ vantaged backgrounds to access this type of education, if the schools are to be worthy of their charitable status. As it stands, private schools do not ϐ ϐ Ǧ eral public to be deserving of the term “charity”. Those who don’t attend ϐ
them in any way and, with the major-‐ ity never getting the opportunity to attend such a school, I see no reason why they should receive any special treatment or tax breaks. The recent ruling will only worsen this: if the majority of subsidies don’t have to be given to disadvantaged pupils, then not only will the class divide between private and state schools become ǡ Ǯ ϐ ǯ of private schools to the general pub-‐ lic will become minimal at best. Private schools are not ‘charities’ in any shape or form, and it is certainly wrong for us to class them alongside other organisations which do valu-‐ ǡ Ǧ Ǧ ϐ Ǥ of the day, private schools are making a business out of education, providing a service in exchange for extortionate fees. To give them such extensive tax breaks seems unfair and unethical. The majority of private schools are attended by the well-‐off and privi-‐ leged – those who can afford it – and ϐ classes and backgrounds. In my view, private schools are simply using the very small percentage of subsidies they award to dis-‐ guise the fact that they are, in reality, only accessible to those who can afford to pay the high fees. U l t i m a t e l y, there should be no charita-‐ ble status for this. That is not to say that pri-‐ vate schools shouldn’t ex-‐ ist at all – that is another argument in itself. What I am saying though is that private schools are u l t i m a t e l y Is it right that Private ϐ Schools recieve millions to the wider of pounds worth of tax public, and breaks?

Will end of EMA signal the end of education for all? Richard Breen and Beth Rawlins
T
here can be no question that every child deserves an edu-‐ cation. However, the current drive to push every teenager through college into university has not only put pressure on government spending, but also on the pockets of families. To alleviate this government pres-‐ sure, support systems such as EMA have been cut, but will this price force ϐ Ǧ
out of education? Many teenagers and families are de-‐ ϐ ǡ EMA, to fund their education. Accord-‐ ing to research by the trade union UCU, 40% of EMA recipients would not have even started courses with-‐ out the funding. A further 70% said they would have dropped out without receiving EMA. However, the head of the Save EMA Campaign, James Mills, stated last week that “children born into poverty are going to stay in poverty because they will be priced out of education and priced into unemployment”. His ϐ published by the Association of Col-‐ leges Survey. 49% of the colleges that took part in the survey reported a decline in student applications. The survey sug-‐ gested that this was due to the scrap-‐
ping of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) which provided the poorer sector of students with up to £30 a week. Students’ inability to afford transport is the main focus of the proponents of EMA calling for its return. Fiona McMillian, who is president of the Association of Colleges as well as principal of Bridgewater College, said that “for people with very little, any extra cost is too much”. She suggests that it is the poorest students with the lowest skill levels who are not enroll-‐ ing. However, the survey is not truly representative and received criticism from the Department for Education (DFE). Only half of the colleges responded to the survey and most profound was the fact that of those that replied, 42% actually reported an increase
in enrolment. This was despite there being 40,000 fewer people in the de-‐ mographic age group than the previ-‐ ous year. Under scrutiny, the survey does not provide evidence that EMA cuts have affected enrolment levels. Although EMA has been cut, it is claimed by the DFE that their new bursary schemes will provide better ϐ vulnerable. Whilst EMA cost the tax-‐payers £560m per year, the new ǡ ϐ ǡ will only cost £180m. The small percentage of people who needed EMA for educational purpos-‐ es, such as transport and resources, will still retain government funding. ϐ Ǧ vent the misspending of support on those that did not necessarily require it. From this stance, this should not af-‐ fect levels of college enrolments.
The issue that people will now face is the frustrating fact that they will no longer be simply paid for going to col-‐ lege. Motivation for education should not be based on receiving extra cash but on the ambition to learn and in-‐ crease future opportunities. Though the new government scheme has reduced the bill for the tax-‐payers, thorough means of testing will now be required to maintain its support and applicability. Hopefully these disadvantaged families will not fall through the net, and bright teenagers will still be able to pursue the higher education they deserve. Only time will tell whether this new support system will work in helping the most disadvantaged. Eve-‐ ryone will of course be hoping it does, because after all if young people can’t rely on education or employment, what can they rely on?

Server crash recipe for BlackBerry crumble This week Illustration: Emma Rawsthorne
Becky Orwin
Sophie McCoid Comment Editor
A
couple of weeks ago some-‐ thing traumatic happened to me and millions of others, and, if my observations from around campus are anything to go by, it happened to you too. One morning whilst sat bored in a lecture, I went to refresh my Face-‐ book news feed on my beloved Black-‐ Berry Curve and was unable to. After checking I had signal and that my bat-‐ tery was not ‘too low for radio use’, I still couldn’t see what horrendous photos from the night before had been uploaded. I thought it was a bit odd, so went to BlackBerry Message my friend to see if she was having the same issue and found I couldn’t do that either. Slightly worried, I went onto my internet browser to google it and that too wasn’t connecting. ϐ a computer and ingeniously searched ‘BlackBerry not working’ and was re-‐ warded with numerous results talk-‐ ing about a server crash in Slough meaning millions of users’ service was down. Gutted. I am of course being a tad melodra-‐ matic about the situation but losing my BBM and internet for three days really made me realise how much I rely upon it to get through my day-‐to-‐ day life. Not being able to check my emails whilst on the go and not talk-‐ ing to my numerous BBM contacts was actually highly frustrating. Looking at the online comments un-‐ derneath the news reports about the crash, it seems like I wasn’t the only one getting annoyed. One user wrote ‘It’s a business aid for me -‐ I need it so that I can make a living!’ and anoth-‐ er “omggg. its been 3 days till today. since 7 in the morning its not work-‐ ing. i’ve had enough. seriously? when the hell is it back? anyone? ugghhhh
How to sleep through anything. Seriously, anything.
:(.” Other people, however, saw the crash as a liberating opportunity to get back to basics, a chance to disap-‐ pear away from the constant availabil-‐ ity that having a BlackBerry provides. ’Speedthrills’ encouraged people to ‘Relax, enjoy, watch your BP and try to raise your head a little. You’ll see the horizon, trees, maybe even birds And you might even talk face to face with another BB user. You might even smile!’. After the initial annoyance,
I do have to admit that I did slightly enjoy the fact I couldn’t be contacted as much and that there was no oppor-‐ tunity to commit the cardinal BBM sin of reading and not replying. This month’s crash has shown just how much society relies on smart-‐ phones, with many people com-‐ plaining about a loss of business and revenue because of it. BlackBerry’s promise to provide all users with free apps as compensation for the incon-‐ venience illustrates what big busi-‐
ness the smartphone world is and how competitive it’s becoming. A loss of service for three days can be disastrous for a technology com-‐ pany in this modern age. All is not well at BlackBerry HQ and with the amount of disgruntled users growing daily, you can almost smell the fear of Chief Executives, Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis , that people will soon leave them for another, more reliable, fruit based company...
Students set to shiver in the cold this winter Amy Shields
W
hen I imagined student houses before coming to university, I pictured the stereotype: a dark house that was permanently cold. Reality, however, turned out to be a lot dif-‐ ferent. Unfortunately reality is also much more expensive, and it’s only set to get worse. Independent energy regulator Of-‐ ϐ per customer per year has increased from £15 to £125, a shocking 733% increase. This will inevitably have a huge impact on students. Mainte-‐ nance loans struggle to cover living costs at the best of times, and espe-‐ cially with the increase in tuition fees, money is going to become an even bigger issue for students.
I’ve learnt...
Financial issues make communal living particularly stressful. When choosing who to live with in second year, money is rarely a factor. Howev-‐ er, with the current annual dual-‐fuel bill coming in at £1,345 according to Ofgem, different incomes suddenly matter. While some are used to hav-‐ ing the heating turned on all day every day, those who cannot afford to have been taught to put on that extra jumper. The problem is that understanding energy charges is increasingly dif-‐ ϐ Ǥ Ǧ ϐ ǡ who are unlikely to have in-‐depth knowledge of energy tariffs. It is hard-‐ ly surprising that there is confusion; between the ‘Big Six’ energy compa-‐ nies are a total of 400 different tariffs, making it virtually impossible to dis-‐ cern which is the cheapest or the best for your needs. Surely, then, this confusion could be solved by calling these energy compa-‐ nies to establish the cheapest deal? It seems not; a recent investigation by Which? contacted the six major ener-‐ gy suppliers twelve times in one week to ask for the cheapest deal. In nearly
one third of the calls, staff failed to provide information for their cheap-‐ est tariff. It therefore comes as little surprise that recent statistics claim that 85% of consumers never con-‐ sider switching providers. Energy companies have fought back at these allegations. Scottish and Southern Electric have claimed that
Between the ‘Big Six’ energy companies are a total of 400 different tariffs, making it vir-‐ tually impossible to discern which is the cheapest or best for your needs.
ǯ ϐ Ǧ lated based on an ‘entirely theoreti-‐ cal’ approach. British Gas has pointed ǯ ϐ last year turned out to be far too high. Regardless of this, the huge price in-‐
crease has prompted public anger and it is unlikely to be forgiven or for-‐ gotten. Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has claimed that the government will de-‐ liver some ‘real hits’ on household en-‐ ergy. However despite summoning an emergency energy summit, the gov-‐ ernment seem to favour change from below. Huhne intends to persuade consumers to take steps themselves to reduce their bills, through insula-‐ tion or changing tariffs. I might be sceptical, but without radical reforms, I expect very few will be motivated to make changes. Thankfully Ofgem have also stated that they are going to publish a Sim-‐ ϐ ǡ Ǧ ulator establishing a standing charge and leaving the energy suppliers to set the price of energy per unit. This would make comparisons between companies straight forward, create a competitive market and would allow people to save money. For now though, however, students might want to turn down that extra night out, turn the kettle on and pull on another woolly jumper; it is set to be an expensive winter.
I knew Ricky Road’s reputation when I chose it as my accommodation – I knew it was ‘the party block’, but I thought ‘I’m up for a party, so what the hell?’ And I don’t regret that choice, not one little bit – when you are going on a night out, simply having the window open puts you in the mood for drinks, laughs and a good time. The problem arises when you’re not going on a night out – because I guar-‐ antee you, whatever the weather’s like, whatever day it is, whatever’s go-‐ ing on in the city, people in Ricky Road will be going out. Generally speaking this is pretty funny – in the comfort ϐ ǡ the drunken staggers of those who went a bit heavy on the pre-‐drinks can provide moments of pure com-‐ edy gold. But I’m the kind of person who only likes club music when I’m actually in a club (and even then, I’ll happily throw things at the next DJ to play ‘Dynamite’), and having it vibrat-‐ ϐ ϐ rare occasions I’m actually reading my course books is not my favourite way to spend an evening. And if you want to get an early night, you basically have to go before 10 (when pre-‐drinking begins), or between midnight (when everyone’s left) and two/three in the morning (when people start coming back). If you can’t get to sleep in those gaps, sorry guys, but you missed the win-‐ dow of opportunity. Now you’ll be treated to the joys of drunken stran-‐ gers banging on your door, wondering why their key won’t work (“YOU’RE IN THE WRONG BLOCK, EEJIT!”), the sounds of the people in rooms ϐ Ǧ dows (three times in the past week, and counting), late-‐night, apparently extremely intense games of Fifa in the ϐ ǡ Ȃ ϐ Ȃ the sound of two people having a very different sort of good time against the wall of the block. Lovely. To be fair, if you’re still struggling through the course book, any of these things is actually a pretty welcome distraction. It’s slightly more annoy-‐ ing when you’re trying to get a few hours kip before a nine o’clock lec-‐ ture, and all you can hear is the guy ϐ Ǧ tar, with the kind of tone-‐deafness I thought was reserved for N-‐Dubz. But to be fair, it is all part of the halls experience, and it’s usually much fun-‐ nier than it is annoying (educational too – I learnt several new words when ϐ to get rid of some drunken strangers hanging around our hallway). But for those of you who’d rather ϐ four in the morning, I have two words for you: ear plugs.

Schools skirt around the issue of vanity Alix Pickles It was once the expected norm that a girl should wear a skirt to school. In the modern age, however, this is now considered outdated and a constric-‐ tion on female liberty. However, now some girls are being forced in the other direction. The female students of a school in Herne Bay in Kent have been warned that their skirts may be banned in favour of trousers. Princi-‐ pal Claire Owens has described this as a ‘safety measure’, in response to girls ‘putting themselves at risk’. This seems like an all too familiar statement amid a year of heightened controversy over female sexuality and rape. Owens’ statement echoes the advice a Toronto policeman pre-‐ viously gave, saying that “women should avoid looking like ‘sluts’ in order not to be victimised.” A ten-‐ dency to blame the victim is being propagated by allowing the perpetra-‐ tors to have the excuse that the victim ‘invited rape’. Dress code should not be seen as a female error that causes such crimes.
Generations of women have been adapting uniforms to express indi-‐ viduality. In today’s world most girls are used to enjoying the freedom of wearing what they want. Trousers as ϐ Ǧ ing a way to style their uniform in a way that suits them. They will con-‐ tinue to want to be ‘sexy’ in their own way and should be able to do so with-‐ out it being said that they are dress-‐ ing as ‘sluts.’ The convention of rolling up your skirt is not a new one, yet in the last year several schools have made the headlines based on their attitudes to the garment. Pupils at Guiseley School in Leeds were told in Septem-‐ ber 2011 that trousers would be the compulsory uniform option for girls from January 2012. Assistant head teacher Pippa Davies said this was a result of girls not wearing their skirts at a ‘reasonable’ length. In October this year, Tollbar Academy also hit the news with chief executive David Hampson claiming that the length of skirts was a “health and safety issue in today’s day and age”. The attitude of people in power to female dress codes is extremely wor-‐ rying, and there’s a danger that young impressionable girls will be highly ϐ Ǥ being empowered, there’s a risk that girls will be scared into dressing in a certain way to avoid attack. The il-‐ ϐ
potential rapists wanting to do harm all hours of the night and day is being created by the people who are meant to be alleviating young women’s fears. The advice also extends beyond the length of skirts as women have previously been advised that pony-‐
tails ‘attract’ rapists. Will a doctrine on hairstyles be adopted into school rules next? Whilst I see the need for schools to enforce an age-‐appropriate uniform and encourage modesty, I believe that it’s a far stretch to claim that it’s a
matter of health and safety to prevent sexual or physical attacks on women. Wearing a short skirt does not mean you’re going to be sexually assaulted, and in my opinion members of the educational establishment really need to have a rethink.

Re: Feminists Fight Against ‘Banter’ Culture
Northumbria player of 4 years: I have been involved in 4 rugby initiations both as a dad and as a son and I was never forced to do anything that I didn’t want to do nor did I force anyone to do anything they didn’t want to do. It is a bit of fun. If people don’t want to take part then they don’t have to. The article says that the “source” of the information decided not to take part so I don’t see why he is so bothered anyway
Anonymous: You are aware that “tits or GTFO” is a common internet meme and once again a joke. That whole page is clearly not serious and more importantly he even stresses that it is an inside joke for his frientds. You are aware of that right?
Chris Sweeny: I’m in second year at Northumbria and I was out on ‘the night’. The thing that disgraced me the most was the actions of one, Corrado A. Biagi who I think plays for the 2nds. I witnessed him be sick into a fresher’s mouth and then urinated on his face. Absolutely disgraceful he was treated like a poor disabled dog with no legs, and I think something needs to be done about this. Charles Grey: The article is a small case study that speaks volumes about the twisted world of sports initiations. Whether they take place at Northumbria, Newcastle, internationally or elsewhere, the point of this article is that sports initiations are notoriously humiliating and can intimidate vulnerable young people into doing things that are potentially dangerous. For someone to not be allowed to join a team or feel unwelcome to participate in a sport during their 3-5 years at university because they didn’t feel comfortable stripping off and consuming irresponsible amounts of alcohol is a real shame. Some of these young people have a real passion for their sport but don’t want to be reckless and irresponsible and yet are being punished by exclusion through intimidation. Who can defend that?
Lauren Stafford: @Anonymous: Joke or not, these comments are derogatory. The fact that it’s a common internet meme just goes to show how this kind of misogyny has become normalised in our society. Re: Drama over unis’ secret ‘soft’ subject blacklist Daniel: 7KH VROXWLRQ« VWRS GRLQJ Á XII\ $ OHYHOV I’m sure anyone with the intellect to be considering University would realise they are more likely to get into University with A Levels in Physics, Maths and Computing than Business Studies and Drama.

H
ailed the gothic grandmother of children’s literature, Jacqueline Wilson has been churning out books for 10-‐12 year olds for the past two decades. Colourfully and memo-‐ rably illustrated by Nick Sharratt, the Ǧϐ ǯ Blake, they have a world wide following of the highest level of adoration. Wilson is renown for capturing overly imaginative, unforgettable characters. Her content rarely shies away from tack-‐ ling serious issues and she holds a unique talent in bridging the gap between reality ϐ Ǥ Since the beginning of their career to-‐ gether, Wilson and Sharratt have written and illustrated books on some of the most upsetting issues that affect children, in-‐ cluding bulimia, domestic violence, aban-‐ donment and growing up in care. These highly sensitive and often badly dealt with topics have led both Wilson and Sharratt ϐ the issue through narrative. They reassure the reader that they are not alone, howev-‐ er bad it may seem. Despite Wilson chal-‐ lenging some of the most controversial and touching problems out there she be-‐ lieves her current stature may make writ-‐ ing for older teenagers a much harder test. “The subject matter for older readers would concern me,” Jacqueline confesses. “I’m very lucky for my name to be recog-‐ nised, so no matter what Nick may put on the cover or how sophisticated he made it look, a parent might pick it up thinking that their seven year old loved to read and
then the content would be inappropriate for a younger reader. And I know that if we put ‘unsuitable for under 14s’ on the cov-‐ er it would just be like a red rag to a bull. Well, it certainly would have been for me at that age.” Wilson says this has led her to try and aim her books for as wider range of people as she possibly can, but in the future she might undertake the challenge of writing for the older group: “Watch this space!” Nick also says that he has to be sensitive towards the issues in the book when de-‐ vising the front cover, as he wants to por-‐ tray the right message to readers. “I get the manuscript for the books and read it a few times, try to get a feel for the book and then I always start with the cover. There’s a huge team that gives me ideas and we ϐ what doesn’t”. Nick says that the age the book is aimed at is also critical to the amount of illustra-‐ tions that he draws for it: “if it is an older, darker book than I don’t do many illustra-‐ tions at all and rarely draw the characters. I instead choose to draw symbolic images that allude to ideas in the book. Whereas if it is a younger reader I like to go to town, at the moment I am illustrating Jacky’s new book and there are 170 images.” Despite Nick being a fun children’s illustrator it is clear than when it comes to his drawings he takes them very seriously and always aims to make them perfect for the text. Although, it seems even the best have to have their work approved. Nick jokes he is a bit like a child when it comes to getting

his drawings approved by others: “I have a very personal attachment to my drawings and therefore when I ask people for their opinions on them if I don’t get the right re-‐ sponse I can be quite rude.” Jacqueline laughs when she hears this. “When my daughter was younger I used to read her my books and in some ways I was the mother from hell as I used to test out my stories on her,” she says. “If I read to her what I thought was a really funny bit and she didn’t laugh I would stop and ask, ‘Why aren’t you laughing? Wasn’t that really funny?’. Basically I was pretty much everything a mother shouldn’t be.” Jacqueline’s daughter, Emma, now an adult, still approves of Jacqueline’s books but has, over the years, learnt only to say positive things about them. The Children’s Literature Centre Sev-‐ en Stories, in Ouseburn Valley, has now opened an exhibition dedicated to the long history of work that Jacqueline and Nick have created together, entitled ‘The Diaries and Daydreams of Jacqueline Wil-‐ son’. Named after Jacqueline’s autobiogra-‐ phies, the exhibition charts Jacqueline’s rise to literary fame and how she was in-‐ spired to write each of her books. Jacque-‐
line seemed pleasantly overwhelmed with how the exhibition had come together: “This is such an exciting and surreal expe-‐ rience, it is just so strange seeing my life laid out so I can actually go on a journey through it and see how I started”. ϐ -‐ tion were all chosen by Jacqueline as they represented a broad overview of the dif-‐ ferent subject matters that she has writ-‐ ten about. As well as each one holding a particularly special place in her heart, it is clear that she has taken a long time choos-‐ ing each section of the exhibition and hoped they would please as many of her fans as possible. “For me ϔ was a must, so that when boys are brought here on a school trip they can see that I don’t just write books for girls with silly pink covers. I also hope that teenagers will come and see how I got started in my writing, whether in magazines or children’s writing.

making up their own imaginary worlds to escape into. She claims that this con-‐ cept was initially developed because she wanted to show children that there wasn’t some magic path to become a writer -‐ “you just need a pen or paper or a computer,” she says. “There’s no instant success. It is a hard but delightful thing to do, and if you are very lucky it can work out for you, it is about daydreaming, reading and writ-‐ ing lots. I hope that I show this through my characters.” Jacqueline explains that upstairs in the exhibition there is actually a diary she wrote when she was 14, saying that she never wanted to be a children’s writer and never wanted to be like Enid Blyton. “I wrote the book My Secret Diary when I was about 14 to show readers that I was the silliest teenager ever, but I was serious about being a writer,” she says. “I loved Enid Blyton but I arrogantly thought I don’t want to do what she did. I want to write about realistic children, with prob-‐ lems and issues; fortunately I did and it worked out for me.

Nick tells me he thinks that the huge images are “the weirdest things” for him as he is accustomed to only seeing his illustrations the same size as he draws them -‐ but seeing them blown up in this way gives him goosebumps. “It is all just wonderful, I feel very touched by the whole thing,” he says. “It is a brilliant dedication to the books and especially Jacky and how she has had an ϐ Ǥdz With the exhibition at Seven Stories just opening, Jacqueline is still touring with the latest edition to her empire, Sapphire Sapphire Bat-‐ tersea, as well as working on the third in-‐ , as well as working on the third in-‐ stalment of the Hetty Feather series.

The book that... sent chills down my spine. Maggie McBride dares us to be chilled by Out from Natsuo Kirino Out, the 2004 novel by Natsuo Kirino, is probably the most frightening book I have ever read. I know that is a bold statement, especially when I have read Dear John, a book scary for quality control alone. Al-‐ most every person can relate to the main characters in some way, a group of regular women working in a factory: unpleasant job? Check. Said unpleasant job made ϐ the operation way too seriously? Check. And being taken for granted? Of course, it really does go without saying. Though this worryingly means you can relate to their murders. These women work on the night shifts at a bento factory in Japan. The pay is slightly higher at night, and by day they can take care of their children and hus-‐ bands/in-‐laws and sleep for a couple of hours if they’re lucky. From the start of the novel, the reader has an idea of what is about to occur: the wom-‐ en are frustrated, their families take them for granted and one of them is domestically abused; generally, it is safe to say that their lives are hor-‐ rible. This is a for-‐ mula that invariably ends in disaster. I can guarantee, how-‐ ever, that the pre-‐ dicted outcome is only the beginning of this chilling book. Laced with sex and ultra-‐violence this Japanese novel takes maiming and killing to a whole new level. I was disturbingly unsettled when I read Out, and the line between the foreign and the familiar was blurred considerably. As soon as I began to relate to a murderer, the introduction of something “alien” went from interesting to disturbing. The ϐ the brim with skeletons that are far too dark (and plot spoiling) to reveal here. What scared me the most, though, was the way that Kirino manages to intertwine and blur the darkest characters with the ones that are, well, less dark (since no one can be described as truly innocent in this Ȍǡ ϐ to empathise with. All the characters appear to be empow-‐ ered by their secrets and corruption, which ultimately leads to their demise, as their solidarity and control is lost when they begin to build pseudo-‐friendships on foundations of the unspeakable. As a novel, Out is relentlessly thrilling, giving the reader a real insight into the truly terrifying human mind and what the most extreme of circumstances can make you do. Take a day out of your weekend and read this. You won’t be disappointed, though you might have to watch a reas-‐ suring comedy afterwards to get over it.
From Housemartins to Hippos: how did that happen? Lisa Bernhardt talks to guitarist-come-children’s writer Stan Cullimore The next time you raid your parents’ LP collection in an attempt to escape the plethora of today’s musical disgraces, you might want to give The Housemartins a try. No secret to the lovers of 80s music, the Hull-‐based rock group that shot to fame with songs like ‘Happy Hour’ or their famous a cappella rendition of ‘Caravan of Love’ which certainly everyone can at least hum along to. The group split in 1988 and as with many bands that parted ways you won-‐ der: What has happened to the former members? Are they anonymously travel-‐ ling across the country, playing gigs in local pubs to earn their living/pay off the debts that are left from their former wild lifestyle? Are they still in the music busi-‐ ness at all? Well, Stan Cullimore, previous-‐ ly The Housemartins’ guitarist, has turned his back on the industry and is trying his luck in a very different realm, now writing books and TV scripts for children. He is currently appearing on the pre-‐ school show The Bopps, airing at 7.35am and which he jokingly said some students may be familiar with as they stagger back home at that time after a night of clubbing. But what made him decide on this total career u-‐turn and have a go at children’s literature? “I suppose I identify with kids more than I do with adults.” Cullimore admits that he wanted to in-‐ volve his children in his work, which be-‐ gan when he based the main character of his book series about Henrietta, a hippo,
on one of his youngest son’s cuddly toys. Amongst his own children’s literature fa-‐ vourites are Harry Potter alongside the timeless classics The Borrowers and The Hobbit. While he clearly roots for Ron in the ongoing Harry vs. Ron debate (and he’s got to know what he’s talking about), he said he will always have a real soft spot for Snape. When asked whether he prefers writing TV scripts or books, Cullimore says that watching the scripts he has written on TV is a great experience, even though he ϐ Dz joyous” as “you get to lock yourself away and drift into another world for a while”. Nevertheless, earning a living from writ-‐ ing books is a tough task, and involves a lot of time and energy. Cullimore said he learnt this the hard way, so he says if he was giving any advice for all aspiring children’s book authors, it would be to be prepared for dis-‐ appointment without losing the faith. That might sound like quite literally the end of the story, but for Cullimore it isn’t: “I don’t think long term careers are my thing. I get bored too easily,” revealing he is considering giving adult’s literature a shot. So what can we expect from him in the future? Could he
possibly draw something from his time with The Housemartins for his writing? Cullimore doubts that, but supposes that “every one of us is a result of the experi-‐ ences we’ve had as we travel through this old world on our way to the grave”. Now that sounds like a man who really has experienced life.

The ‘REAL’ faces of Newcastle Millie Walton questions whether fake tan, bulging biceps and ‘tashing on’ really represent the face of Newcastle The Face of Newcastle competition is an annual competition that offers girls of Newcastle the chance to whack on the ϐ Ǧ utes of fame while raising money for char-‐ ity. Imagine a typical “Miss United States” style beauty pageant, complete with tiar-‐ as, sashes and a dream of world peace and you have an idea about what to expect of The Face of Newcastle. ǡ Ǧ ϐ student Robyn Nevison and her friend William Robinson, a music student from London, feel that this competition fails to reveal the ‘real’ Newcastle. They argue that the competition’s title, ‘Face of New-‐ castle’, implies that the winner is the city’s representative and embodiment of the actual people of Newcastle, which, judg-‐ ing by the several layers of fake tan and cheap-‐looking extensions, suggests that all citizens of Newcastle are regulars on Geordie Shore. As a proud Geordie herself, Robyn, along with William, patrolled the infa-‐ mous streets of Newcastle, talking to the locals and taking natural head shots of those who agreed to participate. Their ϐ Ǯ ǯ Newcastle, who capture the true vibrancy and energy of the city.
The result was a collection of sixty pho-‐ tos of beaming, or just slightly bewildered, Geordies, which were all printed onto A4 sheets of paper and stuck around the city on walls and buildings for the public to view. The photos only survived about 2 days before they blew away or got torn down by vandals, but they can still be viewed on Robyn and William’s Tumblr blog: http://wrandrn.tumblr.com/ or can be found on their Twitter or Facebook pages. Robyn and William were unsure how the photos would received by the public, but they hoped that they would show people the real faces of Newcastle and how the people are part of the magical charm that leads so many of us to hold Newcastle so dear. Robyn says, “the main aim was to evoke a personal reaction and make people feel proud of their city or just to make people laugh at the grinning old men, so it doesn’t really matter if you make the link between the beauty pageant or not.” Robyn and William have already moved onto their new artistic venture, which is entitled ‘Topless Tuesday’, where they literally black out the head and whole torso of people from classic photos and ϐ ǡ
the legs. The images are interestingly surreal and to be honest at times quite creepy, although some of the other ‘Topless Tuesday’ entries, of semi-‐naked girls and oiled up six-‐packs, may be slightly more appealing. However, it’s worth keep-‐ ing an eye out for Robyn and William’s work in the future – who knows, your face could end up on the wall next!

‘The Rememberers’ is a short, sharp, shock to anybody who thinks that theatre is a pastime exclusive to the opera-‐loving elite. This one-‐hour, one-‐man performance incorporates rap, projections and graphic novel illustration to tell the story of good versus evil in a post-‐apocalyptic waste-‐ land. The show is written and performed by Kenny Baraka, the innovative New-‐Yor-‐ ker-‐come-‐Londoner. As the sole performer in ‘The Remem-‐ berers’ he certainly proves men can mul-‐ titask. The musical narrative is accom-‐ panied by street-‐art illustrations and is a tale of a dying planet’s unlikely defender, a 16-‐year-‐old girl named 7, who must ac-‐ cept her fate and battle against the sinister NorCon Corporation. The show tells the age-‐old tale of the world’s fate placed in the hands of one unassuming individual, but the setting, format and style makes this performance fresh and exciting. The essence of the story is darkly prophetic; the Earth is ex-‐ piring and something must be done. Ring any bells? Though the narrative fuses many old and retold spiels -‐ good versus evil, vigilante justice, environmental doom – they have never been told via the medi-‐ ums of hip-‐hop, rap, and Banksy-‐esque il-‐ lustration.

Want to celebrate Halloween with a dif-‐ ference? The Americas Research Group has put together a Day of the Dead exhi-‐ bition. Inspired by the Mexican Festival of giving offerings for the dead, they have at-‐ tempted to create an authentic replica for people to enjoy. The festival was originally a month-‐long pre-‐Hispanic event characterised by its joyous and colourful celebrations that mocked the dead, but was moved after Spanish colonisation meant that it coin-‐ cided with the Christian celebrations of All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day. The tra-‐ ditional symbols of skulls, trophies of the dead, are today replaced by slightly less creepy masks, sculptures and food items such as sugar and chocolate skulls, which are offered to both the deceased and the living. Mexican orange marigolds are also given in respectful memory of the dead. The festival allows people to bring more personal representations of their loved ones, including their favourite foods or beverages, trinkets or possessions that belonged to them or represented part of their personality. The Mexicans managed to incorporate humour into an event re-‐ membering the dead, by writing mocking epitaphs that include funny anecdotes or habits about their loved ones. This cul-‐ tural twist on Halloween offers students the chance of a different insight into a tra-‐ ditional festival and promises shivers for many and laughs for everyone. Free en-‐ try.

However, if you fancy a real scare and do something dif-‐ ferent with your Halloween weekend, why not take a short train to the Beamish Mu-‐ seum in Durham? The Beamish Museum at all times of the year is a must visit place for any Newcastle student, being split into various different areas reconstructing how the North East would have looked in Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian times. However, over this Halloween period each period is about to get a bit of a twisted makeover.

two guys bending, folding and twisting their genitals
If you fancy a stomach churning, scream-‐ inducing night at the theatre, then this ex-‐ travaganza of genital manipulation really is the thing for you. As if the title wasn’t unappetising enough, the reality of the 3D ‘dirty-‐panto’ is truly on another level. The theatre doors opened to a swarm of middle-‐aged, hysterically inebriated local women, who stumbled their way in and, in a few unfortunate cases, were drag-‐ ging sheepish-‐looking husbands behind them. The two strapping and (literally) ballsy Aussies walked onto the stage and kicked off the show with a small genital-‐ orientated warm up and a multitude of penis-‐related jokes. As the show moved on with bizarre ex-‐ citement, the Aussies began to pull, fold and mould their genitals like bizarre bal-‐ loon animal interpretations. Their rep-‐ ertoire boasted an hysterical variety of shapes including, ‘the pelican’, ‘the mush-‐ room’, ‘the snail’ and ‘the windmill’ (the images of which I will leave to your im-‐ aginations). Of all these ‘dick-‐tricks’, the audience were left completely disgusted when an electric fan blew one of the men across the stage on a skateboard, using only his stretched genitals as a ‘sail.’ If all that wasn’t enough, the show entered the next dimension when they used the lat-‐ est 3D projection technology to provide a ϐ Ǯ Ǧ tic’ forms.

Katy Hargreaves Is everyone having sex? Everyone’s having sex
Not everyone is having sex
Everyone is having sex, in our days sex is normal, (it’s healthy) in fact good sexual health may mean better physical health. Having sex once or twice a week has been linked with higher levels of antibodies, which protect you from getting colds and other infections. Scientists took samples of saliva from 112 college students. Those in the “frequent” group had higher levels of antibodies than those who reported being abstinent and having sex less than once a week. Sex is a basic human need and for many people something that can be detached from all feeling, why should sex only be enjoyed by those in a relationship? Just because I haven’t found ‘the one’ I’m re-‐ stricted from having fun and pleasure? As long as you are safe and take all nec-‐ essary precautions there is no reason why everyone shouldn’t enjoy sex, it’s been proven that sex relieves stress, which as we all know being university students we have a lot of! Sex also burns off 112 calories per half hour so why not have half an hour of sex and save yourself a trip to the gym. I’m not saying everyone should have sex but those who choose to have sex with whoever they want whenever they want should do.
ϐ to constantly imply that we can have sex with whoever we want, whenever we want without consequence as long as it’s ‘safe’ sex. I’d like to suggest that sex has a greater impact on us than just pleasure. Evidence in people’s relationships show that there is an emotional response linked to sex. Some people wish to keep sex as something beautiful and unique to share with the person they will marry. You may think waiting is something only religious people would do but The Telegraph reported that “Regardless of religiosity, waiting helps the relation-‐ ships form better communication pro-‐ cesses, and these help improve long-‐term stability and relationship satisfaction”. Sex can be fantastic, but it’s not what builds a relationship, trust and commu-‐ nication is. Isn’t sex something you have with someone you love? Marriage is a lifetime commitment, and having sex within that secure relationship is the ultimate expression of intimacy. If you are not having sex in the context of such a commitment then do you want to give yourself to someone that may be indifferent to you in a couple of months time?
I am living with a couple this year andas I know them both quite well I thought there would be no issue. However every night they keep having noisy sex and even call one of the rooms the ‘bonking room’, what should I do?
No Facebook? No BBM? No E-‐mail? Just give in and buy an IPhone, you know you want to.
Have you spoken to them about it? In my student days (many moons ago), living in a student house, you were banished to the other half’s place after nights out. We were all busy studying and knew the importance of a good sleep. In your case this obviously isn’t possible but talking to them about it or at least dropping major hints might help. If that’s not an option I’m all about getting your own back. When I was a student Aunty Angela never let someone beat her in that department!

But remember to always stay safe!
I know exactly how you feel, me and my friend Gladys sure do love to bake. Best British Bake Off had better watch out next year as we have been practising for years! Gladys and I have slowly learned, how-‐ ever, It’s all about portion size. I am well aware that you can get over enthusiastic when creating something new, but if the portion is too large save it and eat it for lunch or dinner the next day. You want to feel comfortably full, leave the food babies for Christmas and birthdays.
My girlfriend and I are in a very happy relationship but I keep having night-‐ mares that my girlfriend is cheating. What do these mean?! The real question here is do you trust her? As a dream analyst would tell you dreams can echo reality! However, if you do trust herthen this question is a no brainer. If you don’t then this may be your mind tell-‐ ing you to have a look around. In a healthy relationship you should be happy enough to discuss these fears. Just be careful that you don’t ruin the relationship you al-‐ ready have.
ϐ shoulder when she was sending texts and she was sending them to my boy-‐ friend. I didn’t read what they were say-‐ ing so have no proof they were cheating but it’s bothering me more and more, what should I do? Have they been friends for a while or are they newly acquainted because as far as you know he could be talking to her about anything. Is your birthday coming up for example, it could be something about you! You have to trust him and simply ask. There is no point creating something in your head because you will just upset yourself. If he likes you as much as he should then he will stop talking to her and that will be that.

Blind  Date Kit  Bentley,  Geography,  meets  Anna  Millar,  History Kit  on  Anna First  impressions?
I  was  really  nervous  before  meeting  Anna.  However  when  greet-Ââ€? ed  by  her  I  realised  that  I  had  nothing  to  be  nervous  about.  First  impressions  were  good!  Anna  was  really  friendly  and  welcom-Ââ€? ing  –  it  wasn’t  awkward  at  all.  This  might  have  been  because  her  housemate  joined  her  in  the  hall  completely  naked.  There  is  no  better  ice  breaker  than  a  naked  man!  We  got  on  ok  from  the  out-Ââ€? set.  ƒ• ‹– Ž‘˜‡ ƒ– Ď?‹”•– •‹‰Š–Ǎ ‘Ǥ —– –Š‘—‰Š– •Š‡ ™ƒ• ‰‘‘† Ž‘‘Â?‹Â?‰ and  had  a  great  Irish  accent.  I’m  sure  every  boy  will  agree  Irish  is  very  sexy! Â
What  did  you  talk  about?
We  talked  about  the  normal  things  two  people  who  don’t  know  each  other  do.  Anna  is  from  Derry  where  I  visited  a  while  back,  so  we  •’‡Â?– Ď?‹˜‡ Â?‹Â?—–‡• –ƒŽÂ?‹Â?‰ ƒ„‘—– –Šƒ–Ǥ We  were  both  a  bit  sensitive  after  the  night  be-Ââ€? fore  but  that  was  ok.  We  talked  about  the  night  before,  and  Anna  getting  her  chest  out!  Gutted  I  missed  that.  Anna  studies  history  and  is  in  a  seminar  with  three  of  my  housemates  so  a  couple  of  stories  were  exchanged  about  them  and  then  we  found  out  we  were  both  helping  out  with  fresher’s  week.  Fresher’s  crew  occupied  some  of  our  talking  although  we  didn’t  seem  to  know  many  of  the  same  crew  members  but  still  had  a  good  few  stories  to  swap! Â
Any  awkward  moments?
There  weren’t  too  many  awkward  silences.  We  watched  the  Lion  King  and  then  went  for  coffee.  Anna  is  re-Ââ€? ally  easy  to  talk  to  so  awkward  mo-Ââ€? ments  were  few  and  far  between. Â
Anything  in  common?
It’s  hard  to  say  after  the  date  wheth-Ââ€? er  we  have  anything  in  common.  We  were  not  stuck  for  conversation  but  we  never  ventured  past  ‘small  talk’.  Apart  from  people  we  both  know  I  don’t  know  whether  we  have  any-Ââ€? thing  else  in  common  apart  from  the  fact  that  we  are  both  blonde. Â
Best  thing  about  them?
When  we  were  getting  the  metro  home  I  let  an  old  lady  sit  down,  and  Anna  proceeded  to  talk  to  the  woman  until  she  left  the  train.  I  thought  this  was  really  sweet,  I  love  talking  to  old  people  and  was  delighted  to  see  that  Anna  did  too! Â
Did  you  go  anywhere  after-Ââ€? wards?
We  went  for  a  coffee  and  J2O  after  the  cinema  and  then  we  both  went  back  home.  It  was  a  pretty  conventional  date,  but  I  had  a  good  time. Â
Would  you  meet  again?
I  would  meet  again.  Anna’s  really  easy  to  get  along  with  and  is  good  looking  so  I  don’t  see  why  not!  Maybe  in  a  less  forced  situation  it  would  be  easier  to  get  to  know  each  other.  I’m  sure  we  will  bump  into  each  other  another  time  on  a  night  out.  Only  time  will  tell. Â
Marks  out  of  10?
I  would  give  the  whole  date  a  7/10.  I  got  to  see  the  Lion  King  in  3D  with  a  girl,  what  more  could  you  ™ƒÂ?–ǍǨ
Anna  on  Kit First  impressions?
Kit  was  lovely  and  incredibly  courteous.  He  was  kind  enough  to  pick  me  up  from  my  house  and  gave  me  a  great  big  hug  at  the  door.  I  howev-Ââ€? er  may  not  have  made  quite  a  withstanding  impression  and  Kit,  I  can  only  apologise.  I  awoke  from  a  heavily  educed  vodka  slumber  barely  20  minutes  beforehand  fully  clothed  and  cradling  a  half  eaten  •—„™ƒ›Ǥ Â?ƒÂ?ƒ‰‡† –‘ –Š”‘™ ‘Â? –Š‡ Ď?‹”•– –Š‹Â?‰ ’”‹‡† ‘ˆˆ Â?› Ď?Ž‘‘”Ǥ ‡• ›‡•ǥ Šƒ˜‡ no  idea  why  I‘m  single  either!  And  so  with  last  nights  make  up  on  and  around  3  jagerbombs  in  my  hair  off  we  went  to  ™ƒ–…Š –Š‡ ‹‘Â? ‹Â?‰ Íľ Ǥ › ‘˜‡”ƒŽŽ Ď?‹”•– impression  of  Kit  was  a  favourable  one  as  he  was  polite  enough  to  ignore  my  disheveled  appearance,  not  many  men  would  be  so  kind!
What  did  you  talk  about?
†Â?‹––‡†Ž›ǥ ÇŻÂ? Â?‘ ƒ””‹‡ ”ƒ†•Šƒ™Ǥ I’m  not  well  accustomed  to  the  world  of  blind  dates  and  considering  my  —Â? †”‘˜‡ Â?‡ –‘ Â?› Žƒ•– †ƒ–‡ picked  my  up,  you  can  imagine  my  chat  was  very  much  infantile.  The  date  mainly  consisted  of  me  apologising  for  smelling  of  subway  and  asking  standard  questions.  Regretfully,  I  was  in  no  shape  to  begin  a  thought  provoking  argument  about  current  affairs  but  I  did  get  a  slight  insight  into  who  Kit  was,  his  childhood  and  his  hopes  for  the  future.
Any  awkward  moments?
Š ‰‘‘† Ԡ ›‡•Ǥ › Ď?Žƒ–Â?ƒ–‡ ›ƒÂ? ‘ŽŽ‹Â?•nj Thomas  (yes,  I’m  name  dropping  in  an  at-Ââ€? tempt  to  shame  him)  who  thinks  himself  as  quite  the  comedian  decided  to  follow  me  to  the  door  and  formally  welcome  Kit  to  our  house  ‌  completely  and  utterly  naked.  I   kid  you  not!!  So  around  of  applause  to  R  C-Ââ€?Tizzle  for  providing  what  was  arguably  the  most  awkward  moment  of  Kit‘s  life.  Apart  from  that  incident  there  were  little  if  none  awkward  moments  for  me,  some  say  this  is  due  to  the  fact  I  have  no  shame  and  so  luckily  awkwardness  is  not  an  issue  for  me.  For  Kit  however,  it  may  be  a  different  story!  Actually,  no  I  lie,  it  was  pretty  awkward  when  I  started  tearing  up  at  Mufasa’s  death,  absolute  schoolboy  error  on  my  part,  I  had  not  emotionally  prepared  for  it.
Anything  in  common?
We  were  both  in  Fresher’s  Crew  this  year  although  odd-Ââ€? ly  enough  neither  of  us  crossed  paths.
Best  thing  about  them?
Kit  host’s  a  radio  show  on  the  University  Radio  and  is  really  passionate  about  it,  it’s  his  second  show  this  week  so  be  sure  to  check  it  out  or  even  download  his  pod  casts.
Did  you  go  anywhere  afterwards?

Would  you  meet  again?
Certainly,  any  man  that  is  willing  to  sing  along  and  share  my  intense  love  for  Simba  is  a  man  worth  keeping!
Marks  out  of  10?
I’m  going  to  have  to  give  him  a  7/10.  Kit  thanks  again  for  a  lovely  Saturday!

Halloween  isn’t  for  everyone  so  if  you  fan-Ââ€? cy  chortling  rather  than  screaming  then  Halloween  weekend  has  good  pickings  of  comedians.  On  Friday  28  October  the  gorgeous  Jack  Whitehall,  comedian  and  actor  on  new  comedy  Fresh  Meat  depict-Ââ€? ing  student  life,  is  performing   at  the  Jour-Ââ€? nal  Tyne  Theatre  as  part  of  his  ‘Let’s  Not  Speak  Of  This  Again’  tour.  ‘Spexy  Beast’  Alan  Carr  is  putting  on  his  new  show  at  the  Metro  Radio  Arena  on  both  Saturday  and  Sunday  29-Ââ€?30  October.  You  can  book  both  shows  online  at  www. ticketmaster.co.uk.

Rosie  Devonshire  delves  into  the  secrets  behind  creating  the  perfect  one With  Halloween  just  around  the  corner,  everyone  is  probably  out  buying  their  costumes,  fake  blood  and  face  paint  whilst  queueing  around  the  corner  of  Magic  Box  and  cleaning  out  Poundland.  And  just  like  most  student  holidays,  the  more  traditional  parts  (the  non-Ââ€?al-Ââ€? coholic  bits)  are  usually  overlooked  in  favour  of  an  activity  that  starts  at  a  tre-Ââ€? bles  bar.  So  this  year,  why  don’t  you  and  •‘Â?‡ ‘ˆ ›‘—” Ď?Žƒ–Â?ƒ–‡• †‡…‹†‡ –‘ †‘ something  that  you  had  never  thought  to  do  before  on  Halloween...  stay  in  and  carve  pumpkins?  Possibly  more  fun  than  trebles  and  much  less  intimidat-Ââ€? ing  than  walking  into  a  fancy-Ââ€?dress-Ââ€? Ď?‹ŽŽ‡† Â‹Â‰Â‹Â–ÂƒÂŽÇĄ –Š‹• ‹• ›‘—” ‡ƒ•› ‰—‹†‡ –‘ carving  your  very  own  pumpkin!
Step  1
Pop  by  your  local  supermarket  and  buy  your  pumpkin.  Sorry  if  this  step  was  very  obvious,  but  you’d  be  surprised  how  many  times  people  forget  to  buy  them  on  their  weekly  shop.  Â
Step  2
on  their  doorstep?  Draw  your  designs  onto  paper  and  stick  them  into  the  pump-Ââ€? kin  using  drawing  pins  to  hold  them  in  place  while  you  cut  around  your  template.  Alternatively  you  could  just  draw  onto  the  surface  of  the  pumpkin  with  a  pen  to  mark  out  the  face.  Then  simply  push  out  the  carved  pieces  and  you’re  nearly  done.
Step  5 Step  3
Spoon  out  the  insides.  Sounds  easy,  but  you  might  need  your  knife  again  as  some  of  the  guts  can  be  quite  stubborn.  This  is  the  fun  bit  though,  so  basically  just  get  messy.  When  doing  this  try  to  make  the  „‘––‘Â? ‘ˆ ›‘—” ’—Â?Â’Â?‹Â? ĥ Ď?Žƒ– ĥ ’‘••‹„Ž‡ on  the  inside  so  that  your  candle  won’t  fall  ‘˜‡” ƒÂ?† •‡– ›‘—” Ď?Žƒ– ‘Â? Ď?‹”‡Ǥ
Once  happy  that  you  have  selected  the  perfect  pumpkin,  get  your  knives  out  and  get  ready  to  start  carving!  Initially  you  might  think  the  bigger  the  better  when  it  comes  to  your  knife,  but  you’ll  learn  it  isn’t  all  about  size.  Small  kitchen  knives  actually  work  the  „‡•– ĥ –Š‡› ƒ”‡ ‡ƒ•‹‡” –‘ …‘Â?–”‘ŽǤ Š‡ Ď?‹”•– Step  4 •–‡’ ‹• –‘ Â?ƒÂ?‡ ›‘—” Ž‹† „› …—––‹Â?‰ ƒ Ď?‹˜‡ Now  you  need  to  decide  on  your  pump-Ââ€? or  six  sided  hole  on  the  top  of  your  pump-Ââ€? kin’s  face.  My  advice  is  to  be  as  stupid  as  Â?‹Â?Ǥ Š‹• Â?‡‡†• –‘ „‡ „‹‰ ‡Â?‘—‰Š –‘ Ď?‹– ›‘—” possible  -Ââ€?  who  wants  a  boring  pumpkin  hand  in  so  you  can  scoop  out  the  insides.
Now  your  pumpkin  should  be  ready  to  go  out  and  scare  young  children.  So  place  your  candle  inside,  pop  his/her  lid  back  on  and  place    it  on  your  doorstep  for  the  world  to  see  your  amazing  handiwork! Â

5 reasons why... ...Bruno Mars has ruined everything for everyone 1) Reminding everyone that Jack Johnson continues to exist. Mars’ appropriation of Johnson’s twee, syncopated sound calls to mind a surfer dude trying to impress girls round a beach ϐ Ǯ Ǧ night’ while topless. If the mental image of that opportunistic berk stealing your girlfriend by playing ‘Just the Way You Are’ and rippling his abs doesn’t make you want to kick Mars in his ill-‐deserved balls, then you probably are that opportunistic berk. 2) He would lie to your face and feel no guilt Mars’ glassy, pacifying smile is the smile of an experienced con man, grinning en-‐ couragingly as he explains how his pyra-‐ mid scheme is a chance you can’t afford to miss. It is the smile of an adulterer ex-‐ plaining away those late nights and sus-‐ pect stains to his adoring wife while his kids play behind them. It is the smile a de-‐ ranged killer would wear as he slid a knife between your ribs. 3) The video for ‘The Lazy Song’
When a song contains the line, “Throw my hand in my pants/’Cause no-‐one’s gonna tell me I can’t”, and the phrase, “really nice sex”, it’s probably best to write it off as a bad job, put it in the bottom of a drawer full of other bad things and then throw that drawer into a disused quarry. What you should not do is release it as a single, then compound the wrongness with a vid-‐ eo which includes dancers wearing mon-‐ key masks. This kind of self-‐consciously ‘wacky’ nonsense suggests Mars is the kind of man who would laugh uproari-‐ ously at “You don’t have to be mad to work here... BUT IT HELPS!!!!” signs. Later, a man whom I can only assume Mars keeps as some sort of pet wanders in and mucks about. One gets the impression Mars is taking advantage of this poor man’s di-‐ minished mental capacity. The effect is deeply troubling and depressing. 4) His hats Hats in pop have a long and divisive histo-‐ ry. The good include the Specials’ trilbies, Noddy Holder’s mirrored top hat and Pet Shop Boys’ stripey cones. The bad include the new Razorlight bass player’s enor-‐ ϐ him look like Worzel Gummidge. The god-‐ awful include the kind of brimless straw things perpetrated by Olly Murs and Mars. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A HAT WHICH DOESN’T EVEN KEEP THE SUN OUT OF YOUR EYES. THAT IS SURELY A HAT’S RAI-‐ SON D’ETRE. What makes his be-‐hatted nature even more unforgivable is that he has a genuinely amazing pompadour quiff. ϐ plans are being drawn up to reassign it to more deserving and grateful celebrities. The shortlist includes Neil Tennant, Matt Lucas, Greg Wallace, and Lulu. 5) Giving girls unrealistic expectations of boys’ levels of devotion It’s hard enough trying to get a girlfriend without downright liars like Mars spout-‐ ing nonsense about taking grenades for them. Although, on the upside, if Mars ever was in a combat situation, he’d explosively disembowel himself almost immediately, saving me the bother. Thomas Nicholson

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds
s a lifelong Britpop devotee, the chance of reviewing the new Noel Gallagher album High Flying Birds is a dream come true for Music Editor Chris Scott. But can this rock’n’roll star still deliver? With Beady Eye’s album having already caused a stir in the music world, expecta-‐ tions are high for this album’s release. But the two sibling albums are still somehow very different, despite springing from the same Oasis. Where Beady Eye made a song and dance about being new and different, they were still effectively producing Oasis tracks under a different banner. High Flying Birds on the other hand feels like a better attempt at being unique, and, whilst it still can’t shake off some of that nostalgia, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Noel’s softer vocals, when compared to Liam Gallagher’s harsher tones, are much more enjoyable to listen to and perfectly complement the moody guitar riffs. This perfect coupling can be heard at its best in the tracks ‘(Stranded On) The Wrong Beach’ and ‘The Death of

Stick with it and you’ll be treated to a mag-‐ ical voyage through a world of dreamy pop that throws you around in all directions. ‘Midnight City’, the stand-‐out track, takes you on a rollercoaster tour, with crunch-‐ ing synths and thumping drum beats, pro-‐ pelling the song along with great swagger. Other songs such as ‘Wait’ and ‘Soon My Friend’ slow the pace, sending the listener up into the clouds through a blissful, beau-‐ tiful journey. Unfortunately, the album has ϐ Ǧ ǡ Ǧ ϐ rather than being songs of real quality. M83 have unleashed an album which ϐ own fantasy world, and there’s plenty to lose yourself to.

You and Me’ which sounds as though it’s ϐ ǯ Ǯ Importance of Being Idle’. At times it even verges on sounding like Coldplay (in a good way) with ‘AKA… What a Life!’. My only gripe with this beautifully crafted album is that at times it falls into the trap of sounding a bit samey. A slight lack of variation in the sound it exudes does very mildly disappoint, and makes the album as a whole feel quite short. But that doesn’t really detract from High Fly-‐ ing Birds and once you start listening to ǡ ǯ ϐ playing it. It should comfortably occupy your iTunes ‘most played’ playlist for some time to come, being appropriate for a whole plethora of situations; it’s ideal to revise to, you can play it whilst getting ready to go out and it makes a great soundtrack when heading in for dreaded lectures at 9am. All in all, prepare to have a new favourite Gallagher album in your record collection.

FACT: Credible Popstar Justin Timberlake got his ‘start’ in kiddie-‐pop group ‘N Sync. FACT: Despite this, Credible Popstar Justin Timberlake became a credible popstar. FACT: Credible Popstar Justin Timberlake has a bit of a beard. These three premises form the basis of Joe Jonas’ reinvention as a plausible solo artist. Timberlake is a solid role model for a male pop singer, but the fawning on dis-‐ play here is embarrassing. Hiring Timba-‐ land dogsbody Danja is depressing. Grow-‐ ing a tiny beard is tragic. Surprisingly, the record is only slightly terrible. Despite ridiculous synth-‐wob-‐ blers like ‘Love Slayer’ and boring sub-‐ Robyn dance-‐ballads like ‘See No More’, the album includes a Good Pop Song, sin-‐ gle ‘Just In Love’. In addition to a quality hook, it offers listeners the fun challenge of working out whether its title is a delib-‐ erate nod to Jonas’ idol or a manifestation of his crippling subconscious obsession. Joe’s vie for credibility lapses into ab-‐ surdity on an arbitrary ‘remix’ of the lead single with a truncated rap from Lil’ Wayne, hanging off the end like a turd from a dog’s arse. “Hey Joe! I got you!” we’re assured, throwing in a couple of hasty ‘motherf*cker’s. Parental Advisory: Acquired. Despite Wayne’s best f *ckin’ ef-‐ ǡ ϐ Fastlife under Chil-‐ dren’s. Better luck next time.
ϐ Ǧ leased their debut album Violet Cries ear-‐ lier this year, they brought a sense of gran-‐ diose mystery to music. Rachel Davies’ vocals were beautiful yet banshee-‐esque in their power and the whir of the elec-‐ tronic drone and hum of piled-‐up reverb sounded like Bjork had suddenly joined Mogwai. Live, they were a force to be reck-‐ oned with too -‐ even on a small stage with 3 members, the sound was so big; almost ethereal, it felt like something more must have been at work. So it’s a shame that the Hexagons EP, a suite of 6 tracks based around a rework-‐ ing of ‘Hexagon IV’ which features on the album, treads the line ever so slightly to the side of dull rather than macabre. Ra-‐ chel’s vocals, once a siren’s call, now just ϐ Ǥ ǯ and the Witch from the other reverb heavy post-‐rock groups out there and, without it, they simply join that pile. There seems to be no progression or even continuity to the suite and, in that sense, it doesn’t work as well as it should have done. It’s a disappointing record be-‐ cause it feels as though they’ve used up all their great ideas in Violet Cries and are now running on hot air; trying to get a lot out of very little. Hopefully, their next ef-‐ fort will bring back the macabre beauty of Violet Cries.

Preview: Boss Sounds Festival Northumbria University Students’ Union, October 29, £17.50 On Saturday, the Boss Sounds Fes-‐ tival returns to Newcastle, bring-‐ ϐ ϐ and reggae music has to offer.
This year, Madness greats Lee Thomp-‐ son and Mark Bedford are heading the bill, together with the “voice of the people” Prince Buster. Unable to reach the shores of the US in the early 1960s, Buster was forced to work his magic on the emerging American R&B sound from his Jamaican homeland. With that, the funky foundations of the ska scene had been laid setting the bar high for artists hoping to follow in his formidable footsteps.
SceNE: Holy Mammoth
Delving into the explo-‐ sive North East music scene every week to bring you your new fa-‐ vourite local band.
Who are Holy Mammoth? We used to be called Catweasels, which was essentially a synth-‐pop band. But then our tastes changed; it’s taken a while to get to where we are now, which is more of a shoe-‐ gazey, alternative-‐rock sound. How do you all know each other? ǯ ϐ Ǧ teen and actually formed [Catweasels] for a Year 10 talent show. It was almost a bit of joke at the start but then it just developed from there. What have you done with the band so far? I guess we’re just still in the early stages. We’re fairly well-‐known in Newcastle and we’ve got a bit of interest here and there. We’re just doing it more on our own terms though; we record our own music and make our own videos. ϐ Shoegazey, fuzzy, loud, cymbals, Metty. Who are your musical heroes? We used to listen to a lot of The Cure and XTC, but from there came Sonic Youth, Pix-‐ ies and Pavement; what we listen to recrea-‐ tionally is essentially what we do now. ϐ ǫ Hilariously, What’s the Story Morning Glory? What’s your favourite venue in Newcastle? Probably The Cluny 2. It’s really intimate with the sound and lighting, plus there’s no bad place to stand. Who’s your favourite band on the Newcas-‐ tle scene? Mammal Club are really inspirational; they’ve inspired us to do better. Young Liar are really accomplished musicians; they make class soaring post-‐rock music. What’s next for the band? We’ve got interest here and there to do small releases; hopefully we’ll do an EP in the new year. At the moment we’re just happy doing it at our own pace; we’re not those kind of guys pushing for a record-‐ deal. Where and when can we see you next? The Cluny on November 12; it’ll be Danana-‐ nanaykroyd’s last ever gig. Desperate to hear more about Holy Mam-‐ moth? Check out SceNE 2 at the Courier Online! Chris Haywood
Lee Thomp-‐ son’s Ska Orchestra’s revamped 2 Tone style is a mouth-‐water-‐ ing prospect for Madness fans old and new.
Alongside reggae prophet Dennis Alcapone are Dawn Penn and Winston Francis, who will be entertaining what looks to be a sell out crowd at Northum-‐ bria University. Punters looking forward to ska’s unique Caribbean calypso and American jazz vibes will not be disap-‐ pointed. The Madness duo will be playing in Lee Thompson’s newly formed Ska Orchestra and the Boss Sounds Festival will be their Ǥ ϐ gaining popularity since their reunion, and their revamped 2 Tone style is a mouth-‐watering prospect for Madness fans old and new.
Dawn Penn’s timeless qualities and “King Cool” Winston Francis are mak-‐ ing collector’s item appearances, while ǯ ϐ hop scene and the presence of Prince Buster will make this evening one to remember. Tickets are £17.50 and include entry to the Boss Sounds After Show party, Ska’d For Life vs Pangea Sound System in Reds Bar, Northumbria University. The show kicks off at 6pm; we’ll see you there.

your debut album Last Smoke Before the Snow Storm? I think my favourite is a song called ‘But-‐ ϐ ǯǤ ǯ it’s a song I wrote ages ago but I still feel really connected to it even now.
York-‐based singer-‐songwriter Benjamin Francis Leftwich cracked Radio 1 this summer after a mountain of hype. He took time out of his hectic touring schedule to chat to Olivia Fryer about his de-‐ but album, learning guitar and his musical heroes.
How’s the tour treating you and what have you been up to on tour? I’ve been all over, we did about 24 festivals this summer and a week in Ireland. And now we are on tour until November 5 playing all around the UK. We’re also going to Iceland for a couple of days, as well as Scotland and Ireland.
ǡ ϐ Newcastle? No, I’ve been here a couple of times before and had a few nights out and I have a couple of mates out here.
Do you have any plans to go anywhere ϐ ǫ Yeah, hopefully America before Christmas, and a couple of shows in Europe as well. Should be cool.
What made you want to write music? I liked listening to music, so I had some guitar lessons and then taught myself. I also started to write stuff when I was young.
ǫ I’d really like to work with a girl called Lana del Rey, she’s a new American singer with an amazing voice. She has a beautiful vibe and I really like the songs she writes.
What was the inspiration for your new album? I’m a big fan of music, and I love listen-‐ ing to it so I guess listening to other records and drawing inspirations from other artists. I love playing music, I love recording it and writing it, everything! ϐ bands or artists? Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Adams and I love Tom Petty and The Beatles.

When you are creating something then create something that matters to you. Also, trust your own intui-‐ tion and be careful of people that say they work for record labels and try and be a bit smart.

ǯ ϐ ϐ in Newcastle to suit those with a more alternative taste. Sometimes, hearing the latest club tunes in Sinners is just not enough. You want to feel worldlier; you want to hear tunes you might not normal-‐ ly dance to. This is where Hard to Love steps in. Returning to the wonderful World Head-‐ quarters on October 26, its brand of alter-‐ native indie tunes from the likes of Pixies, Belle & Sebastian and The Fall are just enough to satiate those whose needs have ϐ Ǥ Where else can you dance to classic
tracks by The Wedding Present while Bar-‐ barella is playing on a big projected screen in the corner? It’s one of the few truly in-‐ dependent club nights in Newcastle that isn’t controlled by one “party corporation” and is staffed by the most keen and excited people who really know their stuff. These are the people you want to be support-‐ ing; the creative types. And after many successful nights and plenty of fun to be had, it’s hard not to want to support them!

On the record Classic albums Fresh perspective Until last week, I had never listened to Michael Jackson’s Thriller. There is, however, a good reason. I used to have a phobia of Michael Jackson. This was due to a childhood friend’s obsession with him. Attending sleepovers where the walls were papered with portraits (her own artwork) of a post-‐surgery Jacko and being forced to listen to ‘Little Suzy’ on re-‐ peat was enough to disturb anyone. Facing this fear and listening to Thriller ϐ ȋ ǯ Ȍ proved to be less momentous than expect-‐ ed. It is a slight understatement to say it achieved commercial success -‐ by the time I reached ‘P.Y.T.’ it became apparent that I’d heard nearly every song on the album about a billion times. What I did discover is that listening to the songs is a different experience entirely. These songs which soundtrack our lives are quite simply brilliant. ‘Billie Jean’ is massively overplayed but properly hear-‐ ing the vocals, the build up and lyrics, you really ‘get it’. We take ‘Thriller’, ‘Beat It’ and ‘Human Nature’ for granted but they could easily be released today and have the same effect as thirty years ago. I was particularly struck by ‘Wanna Be Starting Something’, a song I saw as a ‘club classic’ and which I now get was an innovation to-‐ ward credible dance music. Approaching Thriller brings a slight hesi-‐ tation: this is it. The biggest selling album of all time. What if it disappoints? It doesn’t. This album makes apparent how much Michael Jackson’s musical ability was en-‐ hanced by, well, his lack of musical ability. He wasn’t inhibited by the awareness of what musical instruments can and can’t achieve which meant he could create something radical (this rule does not ap-‐ ply to JLS or One Direction). We don’t real-‐ ise how innovative Thriller is as the music is ingrained in us. So, after this listen, am I over my phobia? Well I won’t be opening an exhibition of my MJ portraits anytime soon -‐ they still need work. However, I can begin to un-‐ derstand why this man had such an ef-‐ fect on people. The mother of my Jackson obsessed friend held the belief that when the apocalypse happens there should be a world concert with the penultimate act being Michael Jackson performing ‘Earth Song’. The ultimate act would be Robbie Williams performing ‘Angels’. These peo-‐ ple aren’t disturbed. They’re genius. Mallory McDonald

Horror  Film  Survival  Tips Â
5)  Do  your  research.
If  your  house  is  built  on  a  cemetery,  there  have  been  reports  of  ghosts,  previous  residents  have  died  pretty  quickly  or  an  old  woman  warns  you  it  is  dangerous,  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  laugh  it  off.  Move  away  immediately.  Your  cyni-Ââ&#x20AC;? cism  to  the  situation  will  not  help  you  in  any  way. Â
4)  Stick  together.
If  you  have  a  large  number,  for  the  love  of  survival,  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  split  up.  And  if  you  do  split  up  into  smaller  groups  Č&#x2039;Â&#x2122;Â&#x160;Â&#x2039;Â&#x2026;Â&#x160; Â&#x2039;Â&#x2022; Â&#x2018;Â&#x2026;Â&#x2026;Â&#x192;Â&#x2022;Â&#x2039;Â&#x2018;Â?Â&#x192;Â&#x17D;Â&#x17D;Â&#x203A; Â&#x2013;Â&#x2018; Ď?Â&#x2039;Â?Â&#x2020; Â&#x192; way  out  by  covering  more  ground)  DO  NOT  say  you  will  be  right  back.  Because  you  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  Ever.
3)  Be  a  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nice  guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  a  douchebag,  the  promis-Ââ&#x20AC;? cuous  one  or  the  one  who  clearly  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  their  horror  movies,  in  case  someone  kills  you  if  you  an-Ââ&#x20AC;? swer  their  questions  wrong.  You  will  die.  Pretty  quickly.  Thinking  about  it,  horror  movie  serial  killers  are  actually  pretty  conservative  in  their  views!

science The Real Frankenstein
F
irstly, everyone knows (or should know) that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor, not the monster. Secondly, if you think this title may be an exaggeration just to get you interested, you are only partially correct -‐ some of the stuff mislabelled as ‘science’ through the years has been monstrous (i.e. Frankenstein’s monster). I begin on a September morning in 1945, the Utah home of Mike the cockerel. When farmer Lloyd Olsen’s attempt to behead said unfortunate chicken left an ear and most of the brain stem in tact, rather than ϐ tube feeding system to sustain him for a further 18 months. Call me a square, but that seems unnecessary. There’s much worse, so bear with me; in 2001, Professor Robert White trans-‐ planted a whole monkey’s head onto an-‐ other monkey’s body, and kept them both alive for some time after the operation. “A monkey’s head?!” you chorus, and I quip, “Just an operation a-‐head of its time.” Seri-‐ ously though, it’s preposterous. Professor White himself conceded it could “appear grotesque” which basically means it’s gro-‐ tesque. I wholeheartedly agree, sir. Morbid curiosity is the only rational ex-‐ planation for both of these examples from a long list of malpractices, which seem to possess no medically applicable merit. ϐ for science. I’ve always wanted to know if I could learn to open a bag of Skips with my feet if I cut both my hands off, but I won’t do it (I couldn’t anyway, as I couldn’t op-‐ erate the cutting device for the removal of the second hand, provided I hadn’t al-‐ ready passed out from shock). The point is, societal expectations prevent normal beings from playing out their most fanci-‐ ful ideas. Some science seems to involve eccentrics daring one another to do just that. If you want my opinion, the so-‐called guidelines surrounding these practises need to be placed on the slab, dissected ϐ ȋ Ǧ stein), preferably before we’re knee deep in 15ft monkeys with horse legs and a penchant for misadventure. Actually, they’ll be knee deep in us. Mark Atwill

oreholes, biomass and clean coal -‐ just three of many projects which are going on right under our noses in Newcastle. As it turns out Newcastle is one of just six ‘science cities’ in the UK. They are designated as leaders in bringing science and society together and in promoting advances in science in the UK as a whole. We are joined by Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Nottingham and York, and you may be surprised to hear that there’s far more going on than you think. Sustainability We are all aware (I hope) of the immi-‐ nent melting of our planet after years of burning too much coal, gas and oil. The word ‘carbon’ in various collaborations – footprint, dioxide, neutral – is being thrown at us all left, right and centre and only boiling as much water as you need in the kettle just doesn’t seem to cut it. Luckily, Newcastle University is making huge movements to tackle the issues we all face. In October of last year a new institute was set up – the Newcastle Institute for Research for Sustainability, also known as NIReS, with the strapline ‘enough, for all, forever’. Nice. Coming soon to a building near you This year at the Science Central site (which really does exist, at the site of the old brewery in the centre of the city) a team led by our university have begun drilling 2000m underground to access some of the heat from the earth’s core. They hope to pump out hot water to local buildings at a not too shabby temperature of 80°C, and Eldon Square for one have shown a big interest in being part of this. Another word about Science Central Dubbed ‘a new urban quarter’, Science Central promises an impressive new infrastructure to, in its early stages, act as a hub for new science businesses and be home to NIReS. It is hoped that it will eventually grow to be home to accommo-‐ date commercial, residential, retail and leisure sectors -‐ we may even get some nice new halls there. Clean coal That’s no printing error. Scientists from Newcastle University have worked out a clever new way to utilise coal. Classically seen as the arch enemy to our friend sus-‐ tainability, research which actually began all the way back in 1912 now means we

O
ctober is the month of Breast Can-‐ cer Awareness. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United Kingdom, accounting for 31% of the cancers that affect women. The disease can also affect men -‐ around 1 in 1000 men will develop breast cancer, compared to 1 in 8 women, of which 81% will be aged 50 and above. The risk of breast cancer has been found to increase ϐ ǡ affecting women in their teens or early 20s, so don’t lose sleep just yet. Despite this, it is still the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in women under 35. Since the introduction of the NHS Breast Screening Programme in 1988, the num-‐ ber of women being diagnosed with breast cancer has increased, while the number of women dying from the disease has de-‐ ϐ Ǥ Ǧ cally linked, with earlier diagnosis an im-‐ portant curative measure. The success of the program has led to the NHS recently announcing its intention to extend the age range of women eligible for breast screen-‐ ing from ages 47 to 73. Breast cancer occurs when cells in the

can produce a gas known as syngas from coal using a mixture of hot steam and oxygen. This syngas can then be used to fuel power stations. To get this system up and running on anything like a com-‐ mercial scale would cost about the same as a new large nuclear power station, but it would avoid three million tonnes of carbon emissions each year. To put three million tonnes into perspective, a small car doing an average of 10 000 miles pro-‐ duces just over three tonnes a year. ϐ ǡ It’s not the prettiest of words but it could be big news soon as once again Newcastle University is leading the way in promot-‐ ing renewable energy by installing an ‘anaerobic digestion plant’ on the farm it owns – Cockle Park Farm -‐ which is just 18 miles away from the city centre. The idea is that we can use the biomass (or-‐ ganic material from plants and animals to you and me) produced on the farm to generate around 250 000 cubic metres of biogas every year to be used as fertiliser This reduces the overall carbon footprint of the farm. That comprises the round-‐up of some of the developments you might have missed over summer, but more information and regular updates on all this and more can be found on the university website.

Our no-nonsense health informer talks about breast cancer
breast tissue mutate, due to alterations in DNA sequencing that may be either ac-‐ quired or inherited, causing the cells to divide uncontrollably. The importance of genetics and familial history in breast cancer is overwhelming, and scientists are increasingly able to iso-‐ late genetic markers that give rise to tu-‐ mour growth. The advances in research over the last decade has given scientists the ability to create an ‘encyclopaedia’ of the genes that are associated with breast cancer, mean-‐ ϐ targeted. Equally as important as the design of new drugs, genetic testing also allows for the creation of treatment plans using ex-‐ isting drugs. One major use is to detect the expression of HER2, a growth factor that is associated with increased tumour ag-‐ gressiveness, and found in around 30% of patients. The success enjoyed by the screeing pro-‐ gram is in no small way linked to the exist-‐ ence of drugs that counteract breast can-‐ cer at an early stage. A drug you may have heard of, Herceptin, effectively blocks the
tumour growth associated with HER2, and Tamoxifen blocks excessive oestrogen production which can increase develope-‐ ment of the disease. For those of you living the ‘student life-‐ style’, it is also important to remember there are lifestyle and dietary factors that increase the risk of breast cancer. Alcohol, for example, has been found to greatly increase a person’s risk of breast cancer by roughly 7-‐11% per alcohol unit drunk daily. Something to consider when you can’t decide whether to go out yet again this week. In future, genetic testing will continue to become more important in not only di-‐ agnosing the type of breast cancer, but in aiding clinical decisions as to what treat-‐ ment plan is the most suitable. The aim is to provide a genotypically personalised program of medication and patient spe-‐ ϐ Ǥ With the winter months ahead, maybe we can be warmed by these reassurances, by the hope that cancer research has given and still is giving us.

The Legacy of Steve Jobs
W
ith so many fanatical and overblown ϐ about over the last few weeks, it’s often overlooked just how much of an effect his company has had on the computers, both desktop and portable, that we take for granted every day. Take for example the Macintosh, intro-‐ duced to the world with a glossy advert directed by Ridley Scott. It’s easy to forget ϐ a ‘graphical user interface’ -‐ the windows, icons and buttons we now take for granted on all computers. Before 1984, all com-‐ puter software consisted of ugly, boring and overtechnical text-‐based interfaces, a formidable barrier for those new to these Ǥ ϐ ever consumer mouse, initially scoffed at the time by techies but now an essential element of the PC (even if most of us now just use our laptop trackpads instead). The Macintosh was a literal revolution, using two previously obscure innova-‐ ϐ we would interact with our computers for Ǥ ǯ ϐ computer without these crucial inter-‐ face elements, mostly because they were ripped off by Microsoft in their now-‐dom-‐ inant Windows. Speaking of dominance, it’s hardly nec-‐ essary to recount the success of the iPod, a product whose name is now more synony-‐ mous with portable music than even the Walkman was in its heyday. But let’s not forget just how awful MP3 players were before Apple’s own interpretation hit the market in 2001. The NOMAD Jukebox Zen, considered to be cutting-‐edge back in 2000, weighed half a kilo and sported a ridiculous eleven buttons. Despite many worthy competitors, including Microsoft’s own Zune and Sony’s efforts to relaunch Walkman as a digital brand, it’s yet to be matched in terms of simplicity of design. Following the launch of the iPod, Jobs unleashed hit after hit, with rival technol-‐ ogy companies merely trailing in his wake. His last act over the past half-‐decade was to begin a touch-‐screen revolution that’s ϐ Ǧ dows. Before the iPhone was released, prototype Android phones were planned with a BlackBerry-‐style physical keyboard and smaller (non-‐touch) screen. And while the iPad may have been initially written off as an intriguing toy, its sales have been through the roof -‐ no surprise, then, that the upcoming Windows 8 is being entirely redesigned with touchscreens in mind. It’s fair to say that none of these gadgets were truly original, nor that Steve Jobs single-‐handedly designed and marketed them. But as the CEO of Apple, he estab-‐ lished the novel idea of computers that ǯ ϐ ǡ and user-‐friendly -‐ a vision likely to con-‐ ϐ Ǧ ence competitors for many years to come.

A tight match at Close House was ul-‐ timately settled in the 85th minute by a superb goal by Crayola’s Ben Thompson just as the game looked to be heading for a draw. Thompson received the ball just inside the op-‐ position half before proceeding to beat two men and cut in from the left ϐ ǡ ʹǦͳ victory for his side. Aftermath were looking to build on a positive start to the Intra Mural Division One season after a win over Henderson Hall in week one, and their prompt arrival and professional warm-‐up showed they meant busi-‐ ness. Crayola, however, opted for a more laid-‐back approach to the match with only three members of the team pre-‐ sent at the scheduled kick-‐off time. ͳͷ late and due to a clash of kits were sporting a collection of white and partially white t-‐shirts. This unfortu-‐ nately left them short of time for a full warm-‐up with the match referee keen to get the game underway. The opening few minutes were cag-‐ ϐ ǯ Ǧ herence to the disciplinary code the game took a while to settle. Crayola’s time-‐keeping problems off the pitch
were forgotten as they slipped into ϐ ǡ Ǧ portunities including an early shout for a penalty after the ball appeared to strike an arm in the Aftermath box. Glen Darroch, who had a composed ϐ ǡ ϐ ʹͲǦ ϐ Ǥ Aftermath initially suffered from the stop-‐start nature of the game’s open-‐ ϐ which allowed their attackers to play some smooth passing football even on Close House’s unforgiving pitch. Winger Ryan O’Toole provided a constant threat and only some reso-‐ lute defending from Crayola’s centre back, Adam Fry, kept his jinking runs at bay. ϐ game came alive when Crayola mid-‐ ϐ frontman Sam Storey who was clat-‐ tered to the ground on the right wing. keeper Dan Turner from the resulting free kick with a driven effort. The game had started to open up and both teams were creating chanc-‐ es when Crayola broke the deadlock; diminutive striker Storey was unable to meet a looping ball in from the left off the turf as it sailed over him but right-‐winger Fergus Woolcomb gave him a second opportunity, which he tucked away. Due to the late start the teams turned round quickly at half-‐time, and it was Aftermath in the ascend-‐ ancy with Rob Shelton coming close. ϐ half the game was marred by injury; Michael Widdall of Aftermath chal-‐ lenged for the ball with Darroch in ϐ on his ankle.
The game was stopped immediately ϐ an ambulance was called after the player himself believed his ankle had broken. It was an unfortunate end for Widdall who barely showed the pain from which he was obviously suffer-‐ ing. Hopefully his injury will not be as serious as initially suspected. Not wanting to move the injured player before the arrival of the para-‐ medics, the match was relocated to the adjacent pitch and it was After-‐ math who resumed the quicker of the two teams. O’Toole and his fellow ϐ ‘sweeper keeper’ and Crayola captain Ben Storey. Storey was kept busy by shots from Aftermath’s persistent attackers but ϐ ǡ harsh free kicks going against them, until the introduction of ‘impact sub’ Ǥ Moat scored within seconds of his introduction although unfortunately for him it was against his own team; Ben Storey had saved well from Pete Hodgson before the rebound bounced of Moat’s shin and into the Crayola net. As the players began to suffer with fatigue, the game became stretched and both sides had chances to win. Aftermath looked reinvigorated by their fortunate leveller and looked to push on for victory until Thompson stepped up to win it for Crayola, spar-‐ ing Moat’s blushes. Thompson, who had been com-‐ manding throughout, deserved the goal and Crayola just about deserved their victory. Unfortunately for After-‐ math, the numbers just didn’t quite add up.

The renowned potholed pitches were replaced with a thick, green, grass rug of a pitch making two of the most passing teams avert from their usual playing styles. The long ball was the order of the day with Dyslexic looking the most promising in the early exchanges with both Ben Wheelhouse and ‘Foreign’ Tony da Silva testing the keeper. On a rare wide attacking move however it was Hendo’s Ben Hooper drifting
in from his wide right position who ϐ Ǧ ishly knocking in a left wing cross, only for it to be disallowed for a frac-‐ tional offside. With Dyslexic looking composed at the back with the experienced pair-‐ ing of Adam Forster and Chris Smith it would have to take something spe-‐ cial to break the deadlock. Up stepped Mikey Scott to launch an unstoppable ͶͲ Ǧ corner of the Dyslexic goal. The law student did well to capital-‐ ise on the semi-‐cleared ball and took his chance whilst seeing the keeper off his line for an early goal of the season contender. The Reds, who conceded against the run of play, continued to make chances using the long ball to good effect and constantly made the Hendo defence turn back to their own goal. Their pressure was rewarded a few minutes before half time. Good link up play from Wheelhouse and captain ‘Torres’ Windle saw the explosive chemistry student bursting into the box and striking low to Rory Davies left with the keeper parrying into the path of ‘Foreign’ Tony who

It was to be Watson, tidy in possession all afternoon, who clinically nodded the second after a ϐ Alsop from a corner. Dyslexic looked increasingly frus-‐ trated and gave away a penalty a few moments later after not prop-‐ erly clearing their lines and allowing Hooper to volley from some distance
into the arm of fresher substitute Cameron Clements-‐Hunt on the by-‐ line. Hooper duly slammed the ball home sending Nathan ‘Fletch’ the wrong way for the third. ͳͷ Ǧ tinued to press for the draw throwing every set-‐piece into the danger area but it was fresher Rose who came closest when his cultured left foot curler from outside the box hit the top of the crossbar. On the balance of play Henderson Hall just edged a deserved win by cre-‐ ating more clear-‐cut opportunities. Dyslexic captain Windle simply said “We’re disappointed not to have at least drawn”. For Hendo the result will go some way in banishing the ʹǦͳ promoted Aftermath last week, but in these early days of the season it is be-‐ coming clear that no match will have short odds on either side.

Last Wednesday, in spite of a battling performance from Newcastle Rugby Men’s 1st XV, the team suffered their second successive loss of the new season, falling to a 52-‐24 defeat at the hands of an impressive Leeds Uni. side.

It was Leeds who started by far the ǡ ϐ Ǥ was comfortably slotted through the ǡ Ǧϐ Ǧ minated in a try being scored in the corner. The conversion was then ex-‐ cellently made, giving the away team an early 10-‐0 lead. There was no sign of an end to the green and brown onslaught, as a move executed with similar precision saw Leeds touch down again. From right in front of the posts, the try was converted with ease, extending the away side’s lead to 17 points with barely ten minutes Ǥ ǡ so-‐far hapless Newcastle side were in for a long and painful afternoon. The opening had certainly made painful viewing for the home faithful. The Ǧ tress had been silenced. Wilkinson’s men eventually offered Ǥ ǡ Ǧ side the opposition 22.

though the away team were providing some phenomenal periods of attack-‐ ing rugby, Newcastle will undoubted-‐ ly be disappointed with their lack of defensive discipline which had made it all too easy for Leeds to run riot prior to the referee calling time on a ϐ Ǥ 38-‐5 in favour of the away side, even a spot of half time entertainment in the form of cheerleaders couldn’t stir life Ǥ Newcastle side that came out for the second half. “I told the lads they need-‐ ed to go out there and turn things around”, Wilkinson said afterwards.

In spite of anoth-‐ ϐ ǡ and in spite of Leeds hitting back once again with a quick try on the counter, Newcastle were not to be disheart-‐ Ǥ ǯ ϐ wave after wave of attack from the home side, seemingly eager to give their loyal supporters something to celebrate.
