I see all final year students have received brochures in the post about their graduation. I was shocked to read that the ‘Gown Team’ is to be involved in organising this year’s event. In the brochure about graduation gowns, students are advised to contact the ‘Gown Team’ if they have any problems. I have no doubt that the lads (sabbs: Is the usage of ‘lads’ sexist? You are the experts after all) from The Gown would be capable of running such an event, but I’m pretty sure that they’re more interested in resignations, sackings and QUB corruption these days.

BY THE HOOD

Sex, drugs and rock’n’roll are simply everywhere on campus. The dark underbelly of QUB and QUBSU life remains unseen to most but thankfully I have my spies and touts. I’m currently residing in the Snack Bar on the 2nd floor before it gets turned into a state of the art events venue that nobody will go to because they’ll all be in the Bot listening to a the 5ive mega mix instead. And if the Union puppeteers (watch those strings don’t choke McGrizzle) don’t get a new Ents Manager sharpish then they won’t have any bands to put in the new venue. What a shambles it all is.

If QUB is the entrepreneurial university of the year then I suggest they send over some lads (…too sexist to say twice?) to sort the Union. Although, they might be running low on entrepreneurial students because they went and dumped that MA which probably won them the entrepreneurial award in the first place. I want to know why the MA was scrapped. Well, apart from the fact that having an MA based on entrepreneurship is quite the contradiction in itself. But then that’s QUB all over isn’t it? A couple of years ago Peter Gregson was quoted in the Irish News saying that he wanted to do all he could to help students. But, then he goes and wastes money on Gentleman’s Club fees (this isn’t mentioned enough), he fails to take a pay cut despite the VC of University of Ulster taking one, and he’s happy to stand by and allow the fees cap to be raised/removed. Queen’s – Probably the only center of education in the world where the student VP Education will ask for help in spelling ‘enrol’.
