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.
Danielle Fill: I'm running for Vanbrugh Chair because I believe in the collegiate system and feel I have the drive, passion, knowledge and experience to continue the great work the current JCRC has achieved! I want to make sure that Vanbrugh college spirit continues to grow so that the pressures of the YUSU bar and other external forces don't rid York University of its colleges!
Will Scobie: I am running for Vanbrugh Chair because I feel the college has given so much to me over the last year, and I would like to give something back. I also feel that I have the experience to be Chair as I have worked in the European Parliament for the last two summers, and I was Chair of my Student Union in my Sixth Form College.
DF: Obviously the YUSU bar opening in Langwith is going to make us need to work harder than ever! Events are one of our biggest incomes and by already having to reduce the number of events we have because they are at much higher risk of making a loss, we will have a reduced budget to spend on Vanbrugh students.
WS: I think the biggest issue facing Vanbrugh is the looming threat of the new Langwith SU bar which means that V bar needs to keep competitive. V bar is the heartbeat of Vanbrugh college, and if we lose that we lose part of our identity. Therefore we need concrete policies and commitments to keep V bar going strong.
DF: The possible loss of the collegiate system! York prides itself on having colleges, it makes it different from most of the other universities in Britain. It gives opportunities that may not be there otherwise. For example when I tell friends at other universities that I organise campus events, they don't understand how I can because they don't have opportunities to do so.
WS: The biggest issue facing the university is the need to retain our college structure and so not lose our college identities. With college bars closing down, we need our college structure more than ever as I feel they are the best way of keeping people involved.
Quick Fire
DF: To increase college spirit and give back what I have recieved as being part of Vanbrugh!
WS: Sky TV for the JCR
DF: Le Page
WS: Barbara Scott Court, Block D
DF: Ents Rep
WS: None
DF: There's too many!
WS: Standing in the smoking area at Tru at the start of this year with 40 or so freshers screaming, "Vanbrugh till I die!"
Vanbrugh elections are now open and close Friday Week 9.
Who is this 'Chris Schultz' character. Sounds like another non-vanbrugh member like dan taylor intervening in our personal business
comment deleted by the author Personally i think the coward that is "gossip girl" should grow some balls, remove their guise and announce their name to the world. These are the kind of people we don't want in vanbrugh, and should perhaps leave us in peace.
... said the anonymous poster him/herself
XOXO Gossip Girl
and I know that I have my V-love
Unlucky Scobes....
Victory for Fill.
Justice is done.
Also... Chris Schultz, non-Vanbrugh?!
Sort your life out #41!!!
I (surprisingly!) agree with Dan Taylor. If you disagree with how your JCRC is run, go for an important position as he did, get elected and change it from the inside. Derwent is a better college due to the fact he has revolutionised the way students look at Disney films - some feel he "gayed out" by running for Visual Entertainments and not one of the "Power 3", but he has clearly shown his worth to his college.
More importantly, nobodies like Gossip Girl need to show Vanbrugh stalwarts like Schultzy a bit more respect. At least realise he is in Vanbrugh!! Vanbrugh College til I die!!!

comment deleted by a moderator I have been reading this debate with a fair bit of amusement. I suspect #47, though i don't know who said it, that the schultzy comment was written with a hint of irony, you perhaps should have realized that.
And "vanbrugh college til i die"???? perhaps priorities should be the first item put on the new jcr's agenda......
