A group of York students has won the opportunity to have their very own I-phone application developed after winning The App Challenge final, held at the Ron Cooke Hub on Wednesday, January 18.
YUSU Welfare officer Bob Hughes has warned students to be vigilant after a student loans phishing scam has been revealed.
Her Majesty the Queen will be visiting York on Maundy Thursday, 5th April, as part of the 800th anniversary of York’s Charter for the traditional “Royal Maundy” ceremony.
A flood caused by a heating system “failure” forced the university IT services to shut down many essential systems on Sunday night, causing problems for many students on the eve of their exams and assignment due-dates.
The other £500 has come from a welfare campaign which was spearheaded initially by Rich Croker.
The two newspapers have crushed former president Rich Croker's dreams of bringing healthy eating cookbooks to all campus kitchens, after a large part of his budget was reallocated.
But YUSU Services and Finance Officer Matt Burton admitted: "They've been undercharged [by their printers] and this money will get the papers to the end of the term.”
Former president Rich Croker told The Yorker last night that he still thought his health cookbook was "an amazing project", despite getting the axe from the new YUSU executive.
The possibility of collapsing the two newspapers into one was aired at a media meeting, but was quickly dismissed.
Pity I was looking forward to getting the new newspaper Nision 
Its good that York has a good culture of news and reporting, but its a pity other societies have to suffer for it.
what a daft idea. cookbooks? what's wrong with delia's website?
Perhaps Croker will finally get the hint that he's no longer part of YUSU.
They've been UNDERcharged?
...and had to pay back the deficit.
I'm sure a lot of people get packed off to uni with cookbooks from their parents, which subsequently get ignored. If people don't wanna learn to cook, they can't be forced to, and if they do, then they aren't going to do it from a half-arsed book provided by YUSU. A good recipe book and an imagination is all you need.
I'd say while the money has maybe not been diverted to the best cause, it has been moved away from an inevitable failure.
I still think they should have just scrapped Vision...
... it's only just been named the best student paper in the country, eh no.7?..
I love the cookbook idea. Leave boy Richy boy alone.
The newspapers hadn't been undercharged as such, they had been being charged a rate much lower than the lowest commercial rate, and the printers simply put them back on a commercial footing.
