Some seem to be doing more than others. And the magazine was prity good if you want an international's opinion plus at least it had some light and interesting material rather than all bad news like other publications. Danke!

The gown love their inaccuracies? Mmmmh I don't think the magazine can talk! Maybe SU Mag were being ironic and trying to do an Ulster Museum "gareth fitzgerald" joke....but BaRRack!?!?

The SU Magazine was excellent and this childish behaviour is ridiculous! Also being present at the inaugrual meeting of the Students Union Council, I notice the gown didn't highlight the real reason why the Vice President ran for election...but off course the gown love their inaccuracies! If you would all wise up and maybe take a look at the work that is actually being done by the sabbatical team and read their reports, you would soon be eating your words! You are all so petty!

Although, after general reflection on Mr Mc Greevys point, maybe the gown were a tad harsh, id like to extend the olive branch to the SU Magazine and rectify this...So,Jedwards mother..could i possibly have an exclusive on how your boys are feeling after being booted out of the xfactor? its just that i'd really like to do an article and forward it on to the SU Magazine as this is something the student body of Queens are passionate about..honestly..its on power with our views about tutition fees and follow up is necessary in decembers issue! ahem! loyalty demonstrated!

QUB is my second university (my first was without an independent paper), and I find it so refreshing to read something that isn't afraid to say what it wants. SU Mag has its place surely, I had a look through it last week, but an independent paper is essential! We are lucky to have it in a world run by big bucks, and the student exec :P Hear hear Aldous Duke.

Its called scrutinty and comes with elected office. How can an independant paper be disloyal? “McGreevy also attacked what he perceived as The Gown’s disloyal portrayal of his Campaigns/Communications Plan meetings.”

Also, I'm not entirely sure how The Gown is funded but surely "independent" would suggest that they can associate with whoever they want within reason?
