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.
Lewis wrote to The Yorker and said: “Adam Thorn is mistaken if he believes that NUS is still in financial difficulty. We predict that by the end of the year, we will have reduced our deficit to £300,000. We are also committed to breaking even within three years.”
Lewis was also keen to emphasize how the ‘new-found stability’ of the NUS is benefiting students: “Last year, NUS Extra brought in over £1 million of new income for students’ unions – York alone received £20,000 of new income.”
He also highlighted that affiliation fees have been reduced, with YUSU paying 25% less for its membership this year, creating a saving of £11,000.
Adam Thorn is mistaken if he believes that NUS is still in financial difficulty.
On 16th November 72% of York students voted to remain within the NUS. However, the No campaign has hinted that it may still be planning further action.
"with YUSU paying 25% less for it's membership"
You mean "its" not "it's".
"Adam Thorn is mistaken if he believes that NUS is still in financial difficulty."
Is he really?
"[We hope to be] breaking even within three years."
To #1 Anonymous, what is the point of pointing out a tiny little grammatical error? It doesnt really take anything away from the article does it?
As I've observed before, it does matter, Anon #3. It matters if the author wants credibility. If she is looking to make a career in journalism and she prints out this article, she's not going to get interviews. Detail matters, not least in good journalism. In a university as highly ranked as York, with its journalistic accolades, I expect higher quality than this, and the author herself should do so, also. Frankly, it's lazy to say it's a tiny grammatical error. It's not. It's wrong, plain and simple. "It's" means something different from "its". Someone interested in writing should know that or, at least, want to know it.
i didn't know sir david frost read the yorker
Thats fair enough anonymous #4 but you seem to be going round every article written by The Yorker and making negative remarks about small grammatical errors. I personally think, as im sure do most of the readers think, that the actual content of the article is more important. Everyone, even journalists from The Guardian make the occassional mistake. Also i thought the point of the comments section was for people to comment on the story, not to self-promote themselves to editors.
The most useful thing you can do if you see grammatical errors is to report them using the feedback form at the bottom of the page so that they can get fixed quicker.
