COLUMN: Clarissa Long explains it all
Monday, March 8th, 2010
The enormous Queen’s University with its silent students and swapping those short New York minutes for Belfast hours -
I love New York City. I love walking in a group of hundreds of people, like we’re one great pack of sheep. I love the lights, the ambulances, yes, even the ‘New York Minute’ mentality. So why did I come here to Belfast? I wanted a change of scene. I’m someone who definitely likes being in their comfort zone, but I also think it’s really important to get out sometimes and live a little.

FEATURE: How easy is it for a QUB student to get cocaine?
Saturday, March 6th, 2010
Pages 4 and 5 of ‘The Times’ today report on the rise in popularity of cocaine, stating that users in the 16-24 year-old age bracket have rocketed fivefold in the past 13 years.
One user says: “Cocaine might be dangerous in the way that your average ‘Daily Mail’ reader thinks, but it’s really not that bad.”
What do you think?
Have you ever been offered cocaine, or any other drug, on the student social scene in Belfast?

FEATURE: What do school leavers think of university?
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
In the midst of reports of vast university funding cuts and government tightening of purse strings, The Gown revealed some rare good news for the student body of Northern Ireland with reports of possible grant increases and a freeze in fees. With this carrot in hand, The Gown took to the streets to gauge if anyone actually cared, or if indeed the prospect of life at Queen’s was only made more tempting because of a night on the rip at the Hatfield.

THE HOOD: Giving election candidates a good rubdown
Monday, March 1st, 2010
Still in hiding here folks.
I’ve since moved on to a place where nobody will find me, under the desk in the now-vacant office of the VP Welfare. From Wednesday I shall move to the Gown office and take up comfortable residence there as the Gown Team are suspended by Union management. The Press Complaints Commision is on my back over the supposedly infamous ”rubdown” comments – caught under the Kearney desk might mean a 6 month stretch in Maghaberry. Regardless, it’s not easy casting a sceptical sideways glance in a sub-desk office exile (unless you want me to tell you the craic about Barry Duffy’s lower half), though The Gown team’s clever cup and string contraption gave me a pleasant muffled way into today’s hustings.
