Quoting JohnQPublic from 18:23, 25th Mar 2007 In the old days the University was massively in debt, and getting worse. Also, if you don't like the fees, it's not like St Andrews Uni is the only university in the country. You chose to come here, and I am sure there are other comparable institutions ...

just to add to your argument; I am seriously looking to be unable to come back to St Andrews next year... and I'm a first year. I live in a single room in McIntosh, due to health reasons. It costs me £4023 for the year, and of course, I cannot stay in vacations or anything. I also have reduced fees ...

I think it sounds like a really good idea. Mermaids ran an 'audition workshop' during Freshers week which was really fun and interesting, but since then, nothing. And you're right, I've met half a dozen people who are cast in /every/ single play, and rush between rehearsals, and people who are in no...

General etiquette while flyering appears to be that if you walk behind us, behind the railings, you are not heckled. Standard practice. On the other hand, where else can we let people know about productions, sell tickets, promote societies, and everything else? As for 'ballroom dancing', that would ...

I apologise - bad habit of picking up words from reading, and misusing them, which I thought I'd left behind! By 'secularise' I meant divisive.

There are no more. I had a chat with the social convenor for Mermaids - that is it, final numbers.

Dude, you 'get over it'! I'm not bothered - witness my lack of enthusiasm. Trust me, the reason I was not there had more to do with 'urrggh, BOP' than anything else, and I'm not bothered by sexuality at all! That said, yes, it DOES secularise - note the word choice, not exclude - the BOP by creating...

Oh, and don't worry. No one can dance ballroom until they learn ballroom. It's fairly easy. Ask anyone who went to the trial sessions - I literally taught 'step to the right'. *pause* 'take your left foot and close your feet' *pause* 'and side step with your right foot'. And showed them. People got ...

No. In a word. The taster sessions were exactly that - an idea of what to expect from future classes. Whenever something is taught in one of the classes, it will be re-iterated, again and again, practiced in social dancing, and broken down into basic steps to practice that way. The only problem I ca...

Er, being Christian, likely to be CU by the end of year, and knowing quite a few IN the CU, I take exception to this little 'debate' about sanctions/the nice 'liberal's. As far as I'm concerned, I've never been to the Bop. That's my choice. I may choose whether or not to go. I am allowed to think it...

Hee! Yay! Interest! Okay, Ballroom Soc (aka BALLADS - Ballroom and Latin Dancing Society - clever, isn't it? We didn't think of it) started last Sunday, and this past Thursday, the 30th, with a taster session. It'll start properly in Semester 2, in February. It runs thusly: the first Sunday of every...

Ballroom Soc! It's new, and shiny and it's a great way to talk to people one-on-one, and we move you guys around a lot. You learn to dance - useful for social events.

There must be some concrete basis for the officer's belief, related to you personally, which can be considered and evaluated by an objective third person. Mere suspicion based on hunch or instinct might justify observation but cannot justify a search. Reasonable grounds for suspicion cannot be based...

Okay. One, the police aren't able to stop and search anyone without a damn good reason, and asking if you've stolen something is 'stop and search' - collectively, from my mother, working in Suffolk Constabulary. 'Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 - PACE enables a constable to search for stolen o...

Er, can I back up the 'First years do actually work' mentality? I worked my arse off to GET to this place. I want to come out at the other end having earnt my degree well, and not working for two years during it wouldn't help at all. I take English, IR and Latin, so for two out of three, I do actual...

First year module, I think it's IR 1003, lecturer not sure of, but the article was unavailable on the Web CT, until the morning of my tutorial, by which point I was in class, and could not actually read it. (My class being a Thursday) Would it not be simpler to get a list of the required journal art...

I just want to ask as to how the library/lecturers think we can manage? I take IR as a first year, along with three hundred other people. The article that was required reading was checked out the first day of the week, and none of us could read it before our tutorials, incurring the wrath of our tut...

The freshman play this year is 'Taming of the Shrew' and promises to be a fantastic affair. Lots of fantastic parts, a really raunchy, sexy script (yes, the original) and what we hope will be some fabulous acting. Myself and Adam, the assistant director, will be holding auditions on Thursday from 7-...
