HOOD: HOOD Awards
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
Since the year is finished, the time has come for the Hood to look back over the year and dish out some awards to the societies, people and so on that I feel deserve to have the cold light of day poured onto their pimply backsides. Unlike the SU awards, these awards have been well thought out, and will not be awarded based on good relations with staff. The recipients and nominees will not get a dinner, nor will any society receive more than one award. However, in a similar vein to the SU awards however, these are undemocratic, uncounselled and decided by a heavily breathing man sitting in the dark.

Motions for PRP and support of UCU strike carried at SU Council
The first SU Council meeting since the sabbatical elections witnessed a number of constitutional amendments passed as well as the inclusion of two new societies. The meeting also featured a number of heated debates between councillors over the proposal of performance related pay (PRP) and an emergency motion relating to the upcoming University College Union (UCU) strikes on the 21 and 24 March.

They will be installed over a 4 day period at a cost of £100,000, and will operate through a wireless network which will be monitored 24/7 from Musgrave Police Station and the emergency centre at the City Hall on St. Patricks Day.

COMMENT: Exploiting indebted student drivers?
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Finding a parking space around Queen’s is a nightmare. Students who have saved and paid to learn the valuable skill to drive, and paid to insure and tax their cars, are being forced to abandon them in their driveways because it is simply impossible to find a space to park around Queen’s. This is an accepted grievance for student commuters who are getting up hours before lectures just to park. However, rumours of the introduction of paid parking around the city centre campus will not only frustrate local businesses but force indebted students to fork out even more to receive a university education.
