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.

The report concerns the Radium which was eventually found in a scrapyard in early 2007.
The investigation says that a York lecturer dismantled a Rackbeta machine without permission, Vision have reported.
The lecturer then mistakenly sent the steel case containing the Radium to a scrapyard.
But the report, which The Yorker has also seen, admitted that the steel container containing the Radium was not in fact painted with the identifying radioactive paint.
Instead an empty rod from the machine had been labelled as radioactive.
The senior York lecturer, who was portrayed by Vision as a bumbling Homer Simpson, would therefore have had no indication of the actual location of the Radium.
regardless of the factual accuracy of the story, i fear there is a dangerous and fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of radium portrayed by both the yorker and vision. radium does not glow green. it offers a slight blue luminescence.
So this isn't the same rod that featured in the Simpsons? Darn.
