LETTER: Accusations of SU Anti-Christian Bias
The Union wishes to briefly respond to the accusations of an apparent SU anti-Christian bias. The Students’ Union notes that it has only received a single complaint out of 24,000 student members regarding the flying of the rainbow flag. The Union also notes that it has received extensive support far outweighing the single complaint for the flying of the flag from very many SU societies and individual students. FULL STORY

LETTER: Anti-Christian prejudice in the Union and the Gown
BY SAMUEL MORRISON
There is nothing quite like a prejudice to blind one to the facts. That thought occurred to me when I read the post on the Gown entitled “Homophobic assault at Pride”. Even the information as reported by Ben Finch would have alerted an impartial reader to the fact that there was more to Mr Kerr’s story than first met the eye. For example, Mr Kerr is reported to have said that the police wouldn’t allow him to make a formal complaint about the alleged assault. He also says that he had been removed from the march by its organisers.

REVIEW: The Jungle Book
BY ROMANO MULLIN FULL STORY
Summer in Belfast is often a name-only affair, and the school (and university) holidays can drag as the hours spent sheltering from the rain in front of the TV and computer screen build up. This problem is even more acute for those of us who have small children in our lives, but Belfast’s Lyric Theatre may just have the perfect solution. Neil Duffield’s adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic tale The Jungle Book is showing at the Northern Bank Stage in the beautiful new Lyric until the 14th of August, and is ideal for those who want to exchange rainy Ireland for the exotic and magical terrain of deepest jungle.
