EDITORIAL: Whatever you say, say it clear
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011
The last council showed how its members are either not aware of the protocol, or it demonstrated their total disregard for the rules. “Troops off Campus” are not everybody’s cup of tea, and their questions aim to shock and succeed at getting people’s backs up. Trying to discuss whether the Union is opposed to the British army and war is neither here nor there. The issue is that they weren’t given a fair chance to speak. Points of Order do not have to be accepted by the person speaking. Never was anyone allowed to say whether they could accept the Point of Order or not. After proposing a motion and the discussion, a summary is meant to be given, people should not need to shout from the back that they are allowed to speak again.

EDITORIAL: Strike while the iron is hot
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011
This week will see the largest strike action in generations taking place. It will not just be limited to Queen’s, almost every public sector worker will be joining the pickets. There will be demonstrations, marches and lots of angry managers. The government is trying its best to put out propaganda about how much it will cost the economy, how it’s going to stop an already non-existent recovery. They are threatening that if workers strike negotiations will be halted and plans will implemented as they are.

FEATURES: An Indian adventure for a Queen’s student
Monday, November 7th, 2011
An exchange programme for the last 4 years has been running at Queen’s university called the PMI-2: Strategic Alliances and Partnerships scheme. Its aim is to take a group of students to either India or China for academic and cultural exchange, and in the process take part in university life and complete some research. I’m a 24 year old student from Wales just waiting to graduate from a full-time Masters in Social and Community Development, and over the summer I spent a month, along with four other students and a member of Queen’s academic staff, in the Indian southern state of Andhra Pradesh and the city of Hyderabad.
