  Police search for two Asian men as hunt for Claudia enters eighth week Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse Police are looking for two Asian men allegedly trying to open the door of missing University chef Claudia Lawrence’s house a week before her disappearance. Claudia’s father has made an emotional appeal to ­“whoever is responsible for taking her” as the investigation enters its eighth week. North Yorkshire Police announced on Wednesday that they were seeking two Asian men seen in the early afternoon March 10 outside Claudia’s home on Heworth Road. The 35-year-old chef was last seen on the evening of March 18 and failed to show up to work the following morning at Goodricke’s Roger Kirk ...

  She wouldn’t say ‘boo’ to a goose Nouse | (0)

  Originally published as a profile box in Nouse The image emerging of missing University chef Claudia Lawrence is one of a quiet but conscientous woman who enjoyed her work and was well liked by colleagues. Claudia worked at the University for two years, first in Derwent and then moving to Goodricke’s Roger Kirk Centre. Her father, Peter Lawrence, said: “She’s relatively small but she always seems to be smiling. Quite bubbly. She’s good with people she knows but she’s very shy with people she doesn’t know.

  A Father’s Grief Nouse | (1)

  Originally published in Nouse The floors of Peter Lawrence’s small, bright Yorkshire home are tramped with mud. Despite their best efforts the twelve reporters, cameramen and photographers cramped into his front room have brought the cold and wet of the outside in with them. Some of them venture little jokes about the weather and traffic but for the most part an awkward silence pervades the makeshift press conference as the cameras are set up. On the mantlepiece is a photograph of a pretty young woman, smiling in the soft focus. Her image is replicated on the Missing Person poster hanging from ...

  Police appeal to Asian students in murder enquiry Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse Police have appealed to Asian students to help identify the body of a murder victim dumped in a canal. The victim, whom police described as “Oriental”, was found on March 20 in the Selby Canal and is thought to have been in the water for two to three weeks. He died from a “severe and savage beating to his head and face”. Officers have so far struggled to identify the body and have begun a postering campaign on campus in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean and Vietnamese appealing for information. A multi-lingual information phone line has also been set up Continue ...

  Vision need to fact facts: they don’t use any Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse An unattractive habit of mumbling is developing in Vision’s opinion pages. In the previous edition, columnist Harry Pearse commented on the recent Bad Taste elections in which the editor of Nouse stood for, and won, editorship of the magazine. Except you wouldn’t know that was what he was talking about as the article strangely contained no references to either publication, guaranteeing that the majority of campus who were unaware of the election remained firmly in the dark. Pearse instead mumbled that “two out of three publications will now operate at the behest of one editor”, forgetting the many ...

  Last chance for a failing GSA Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse It has by any standards been a rough year for the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA). Of three sabbatical officers elected in the summer, two resigned before even taking up their posts, leaving a beleaguered Internal Officer to run the organisation single-handedly, organise fresh elections and salvage her PhD. The subsequent by-election ended in farce when Wentworth Edge reached capacity during the voting event, disenfranchising anyone who didn’t show up for a cocktail. This was surpassed by the next election in which both presidential candidates were disqualified for breaching election rules. We are now in our fourth round for ...

  Graduate student association “in chaos”, admits President Nouse | (1)

  Originally published in Nouse The Acting President of the Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) has admitted the organisation is in “chaos” after University officials intervened to force it to rerun its October elections, following high numbers of complaints. Documents leaked to Nouse show that the GSA was warned by outside consultants in September that its election procedures were faulty and liable to break down. The Executive Committee announced on November 11 it would reopen voting for the sabbatical positions of President and Welfare Officer, as well as the non-sabbatical positions of Overseas Officer and Treasurer.

  City council attacks University on commitment to renewable energy Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse City councillors have refused to approve the most recent stage of the Heslington East campus expansion after accusing the University of “ducking and diving” on its commitment to renewable energy. At an October 2 meeting the City of York Council Planning Committee deferred approving plans for the new Department of Theatre Film and Television (TFTV). Councillors claimed that the University had failed to provide sufficient evidence of how it planned to meet its commitment to produce 10% of its total energy requirements from renewable onsite sources. Liberal Democrat Cllr. Christian Vassie said: “We are simply not convinced that the ...

  BNP leaflets delivered through internal mail Nouse | (0)

  Originally published in Nouse Police are investigating allegations that a British National Party campaigner posed as a member of University staff in order to distribute leaflets through the campus internal mail system. A University spokesperson confirmed that two leaflets, one of which describes Muslims as Britain’s “greatest enemy”, had been received by a number of staff via their internal mail. The material was contained in blank envelopes and addressed to individual staff and academics by name. Continue Reading...
