Vision says:
Brian Cantor may be pessimistic about what the future holds for the University of York, but here at Vision we believe that our spirits, and chins, must be kept high in the air.
As student’s we’re the masters of living on a tight budget whilst still getting as much out of our time here as possible. As a demographic we’ve been through harsher times than this and will no doubt continue to work and play as hard as we ever have.
Although the future is uncertain, it is up to us and to the University to help maintain the high standards that already make York one of the most desirable destinations for each new generation of students for years to come.
Thumbs up to:
York’s student activists and charity enthusiasts who have done a huge amount of good work for a multitude of causes across the world.
Whether collecting for RAG, completing a sponsored walk for Haiti or showing support to political prisioners in Burma, York students who selflessly dedicate their time and effort to others in need are a shining example to us all.
In the face of growing student apathy, these students give both time and money to worthy causes and although sometimes results are not achieved immediately, we should all be proud of them for working to bring more good into the world.
Thumbs down to:
By filtering down responsibility to their ‘well looked after’ student representatives, Carnage has been able to avoid all repercussions for their gross misuse of University provisions, for their own personal gain – a situation that Vision finds appalling.
If this trend continues University campuses across the country will become increasingly sales orientated, a far cry from the community atmosphere that we are lucky enough to enjoy today.
Carnage should have some respect for our University environment and stop this nonsense.
