Hello,

I'm coming a bit late to this post, but, one clarification:

No one is proposing to ban the Daily Mail from campus. No one is suggesting students shouldn't be allowed to read it in Student Union buildings, or anywhere else round university. The only question is about whether it should be sold in the EUSA shops. The debate will be had at the relevant committee, but I want to make it clear that no one would support banning it from the campus.

Oh, and to the person above who says we are all very self important, I can't comment on my colleagues, but that's probably a fair criticism of me.

Thanks,

Adam

(EUSA president)

As an afterthought, this is what the student hacks are actually up to. What happened to the spirit of 1968?!?!?!?

1. Warm plates in the Library Bar
From now on you can expect your food (unless it should be cold) to come out on a warm plate, keeping your food tasting better for longer.

2. Hooks in the toilets
Over the Easter break we will be putting up coat hooks in the Teviot and Potterrow toilets, making that bit of your visit a little more comfortable.

3. Another Scrabble set in the Library Bar
The board games in Teviot have been a massive success. And one Post-it note wanted another scrabble set, so it should be with us by the end of next week.

4. Food ticket system in Pleasance
As of Monday this week, everyone should be getting a receipt with their food to help them claim the right grub.

5. Nut warnings on the menus
Most outlets should have had these already, but we’ve now made sure the last few offenders have got nut allergy warnings on the menus.

Having said that, when browsing the minutes of student politics, I noted with approval that they had passed a general meeting motion against ID cards last year.

You think they'd ban the Sun, Nuts, Zoo and all these magazines that exploit wimmin first!

I don't think they sell the Daily Mail in the Strathclyde, Caledonian or Paisley shops. Then again the daily mail doesn't care about proletarian universities and its a load of right wing crap.
The daily express is worse for right wing crap though, I can't go outside after reading it because i'm to scared about homosexual rapist immigrant pedophile tv license evading poles but it is 10p cheaper.

Being a mature student at Edinburgh with some experience of the real world, it continually amuses me how immature and self-important the members of EUSA are.

I watched one particularly nice young chap turn into a complete trumpet within two months of being elected into some minor, unimportant position. Despite the decent services they undoubtedly provide for students, they are definitely a poison in some areas.
