NEWS: Early evening sees Holylands disturbance escalate
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
From approximately 5pm, the Holylands became rowdier, with the alcohol intake inevitably taking effect. Crowds of revellers gathered outside houses on Rugby Avenue, Agincourt Avenue, Carmel Street, Jerusalem Street and Palestine Street, with Rugby Avenue arguably the worst. Young people took to the middle of Rugby Avenue for a rendition of ‘Rock the Boat, which then turned into the Irish national anthem. One young man mooned in the middle of the street before being unsuccessfully chased by a police officer.

NEWS: Holylands remains reasonably calm as St. Patrick’s Day progresses
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
The University’s hope for a calm and peaceful St. Patrick’s Day looks set to succeed, as by early afternoon the Holylands remains relatively calm. From a walk around the area, stopping to speak to various revellers, The Gown learned that quite a few of those celebrating were not students at all. As is the case every year, groups of students are gathered in front gardens drinking. Police officers are patrolling the Holylands in groups, and student officers are encouraging revellers to spend their day in the Union.

NEWS: QUB crest appears on “Pre-Paddy’s Madness” poster
Monday, March 15th, 2010
It has been brought to The Gown’s attention that the Queen’s University crest appeared in the top left hand corner of posters advertising the GAA “Pre-Paddy’s Madness” night in the Bot last Tuesday. The crest appeared on the poster which advertises drinks promotions just days before St. Patrick’s Day, when the province’s media will hone in on QUB to monitor their reactions to celebrations in the Holylands. It also comes in the wake of a culling of hours for staff in the Union bars, as with profits down the Union is in the midst of attempts to attract more custom. A source within the University explained to The Gown that the QUB crest is generally only used for high profile ceremonies such as graduation.
