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.
Please note, these are only rumours and the students listed have not spoken to The Yorker.
Candidates are not permitted to campaign until Tuesday week 8.
Langrish would certainly stand a good chance in the election, having a wealth of experience. He is the current YUSU Policy and Campaigns Officer with Michael Batula, and is also currently the Chair of YUSU Council and a GSA Returning Officer.
His previous experience includes positions as Alcuin Vice-Chair for Welfare and Support and YUSU Training Officer last year. Additionally, he has been a History Board of Studies Rep since 2006.
Third-year English student Matt Oliver was the Vanbrugh Chair last year. He is also a keen sports player, and was part of the Vanbrugh football side that won the 2nds League last year.
Oliver is very popular within his college, but only time will tell how far that popularity reaches outside Vanbrugh.
Third-year History and Politics student Dan Taylor is perhaps most famous for the incident which led to Grace Fletcher-Hackwood being no-confidenced last year. His previous experience includes his position as Derwent Vis Ents Rep last year with Will Marle.
Taylor is also a regular for the Derwent rugby team. He was due to run for Services and Finance Officer last year, promising to give Matt Burton "a good run for his money", but he withdrew at the last minute.

comment deleted by the author My mate's Dad is a Taxi driver and apparently he picked up Tom Langrish from the train station. It would appear, Tom was on the phone to his Mother and confirmed his intention to not only run for President of YUSU but to beat any of his opponents in to the ground.
I've also heard Udy was a strong unity candidate for the presidency.
Apparently Myles Preston has been studying the constitution of YUSU day and night for the last few months in order to find a loophole that would let him run for AU President.

comment deleted by the author Anything else notwithstanding, I didn't 'basically run Rag Parade', Zoe Stones ran the parade, and it's success was entirely down to her.
comment deleted by a moderator This just in - Henry Smith is starting a PhD in October, and has stated today that he is going to run for YUSU Pres.
I've heard some ludicrous names for some positions. Be interesting to see who actually runs...

comment deleted by a moderator I just heard Henry Foy is in the running for presidency...
That's what I've heard too!
In fact, I've heard that David Sharpe will probably be running for Dem/Ser.
As for #35 and #31, know that advertising/campaigning for a candidate before tuesday week 8 can lead to their disqualification.
Let me also say that the rumours are pretty amusing. It will be very interesting to see who actually runs and what they'll have to offer.
