URN

What a day! Freshers' Fayre came to an end so the Week One Show wanted a firework disply of a show and that we achieved by getting a marrow, condoms and a Jamacian Robin Hood into the show!

Ben the Bear has been found! He was hiding at Dartboard society. Congratulations to Nathan from Broadgate Park who has won tickets for tonight's night-out, free milkshakes and tickets for the Savoy Cinema in Lenton.

Don't worry if you missed out today as due to Nathan's speed we've hidden Ben again, the clue being:

"Ben is hiding at the bottom of the garden with Poddington Pea"

The URN treasure hunt is an opportunity for you to WIN tickets for the night-out TONIGHT, Savoy cinema tickets and free milkshakes! Today's clue is Ben is:

"Ben is finishing on a double"

So get down to Freshers' Fayre and try and work out which stall Ben is hiding at. Bring the signed URN beermat back to our stand to claim your prizes!

Today we managed once again to cause havoc in the URN studios with an array of guests being put to the test to discover whether they are up to the challenges ahead in their new positions.

After a crazy show yesterday with Will & Danny, high expectations came with today’s guests: George Wright (SU Democracy & Communications Officer), Oli Margolis (SU Finance Officer), Dave Jackson (Editor-in-Chief of Impact).

Today, on another packed episode of The Pulse, we reported on the study by the University of Leicester suggesting that even if fees do increase, many students won't be discouraged from going to Uni.

The study showed that the high demand for university places is going to continue, with 90% of potential applicants willing to pay fees of around £10,000.

In the studio we agreed that it was encouraging to see so many people continue to want to study, but it is also a worry that shows while red brick uni's would not lose applications, former polytechnics and newer universities would notice a big difference and could cause Uni's to be seen as elitist

Yesterday Will Vickers spoke to us about how the Uni would react to fee increases and cuts in Uni spending:

Now it wasn't all worrying news on The Pulse today - we also spoke to Ollie Margolis, the Finance and Services Manager on the SU Exec and George Wright, the Democracy and Communications Officer and they were both very pleased with how Week One had been going so far! Ollie followed in Will's footsteps as he reassured us that even if university cuts affect the SU, the Student Run Services, such as NUTs, Impact and of course URN, will not be largely affected as funding would be brought in from other sources...phew!
