[HDNG]YORK UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' UNION:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]P5[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] 6 sabbatical [BULL] Turnout at last ballot: 21% [BULL] Ave. turnout at [PARA]General Meetings: 6% [BULL] NUS member [ESTAT][PARA][ITAL]YUSU's most obvious problem is that it doesn't have an SU [PARA]building. They've got some offices in Goodricke College, but it's [PARA]not really the same. By the end of 94, it should have moved into [PARA]new premises, but it'll still only be offices. It's not an inactive [PARA]union, funding sports, societies, entertainments and co-ordinating [PARA]political activity. It's fairly moderate and most students aren't too [PARA]interested in SU politics beyond their JCRs, but they turn out to [PARA]vote (especially when it's about money or housing matters).[EITAL][HDNG]SU FACILITIES:[EHDNG][PARA]A shop; book market; essay bank; printing and typing services; [PARA]but still no building (YET). A travel agency, and the bars aren't [PARA]run by YUSU.[HDNG]CLUBS (NON SPORTING):[EHDNG][PARA]Aaardvark (something to do with Star Wars, The Pope, Lord [PARA]Lucan and fish); Active Arts; Alternative Arts; Amnesty [PARA]International; Anti-Sexism; Ballroom Dancing; Brecht; CND; China;[PARA]Creative; Dudes; Edinburgh Festival; Film; Football Supporters; [PARA]Freedom; Frog Soc (cuddly toys); Gilbert and Sullivan; Glee; [PARA]Global Development; Goth Hippy Groovers; Juggling; Latin [PARA]American Dancing; Methodist-Anglican; Modern Dancing; [PARA]Multi-Media; Natural History; Outdoor; Point Shirley (Arts Mag); [PARA]Rocky Horror; Sci-Fi and Fantasy; Socialist; Stephen [PARA]Brocklehurst Appreciation; Student Christian Movement; Thomas[PARA]More; Visual Arts; Wind Band; Women in Engineering and [PARA]Science; Wine; WWF.[HDNG]OTHER ORGANISATIONS:[EHDNG][PARA]2 independent student newspapers, 'Nouse' (inevitably [PARA]nicknamed 'no use') and 'Vision', which compete for the top [PARA]student journo hacks. There are also 4 mags (feminist, arts, [PARA]Christian and environmental). The University radio (URY) was [PARA]one of the first and is [ITAL]among the most respected[EITAL] with a recent [PARA]graduate going straight to producing the Radio 1 Chart Show. [PARA]YSTV - the twice daily television station - broadcasts to snack [PARA]bars and JCRs across campus and its SU election night specials [PARA]are [ITAL]enough to get Peter Snow fidgeting with his swingometer[EITAL]. [PARA]The North Yorkshire NUS Rag based at the University raised [PARA]over ú14,000 last year with stunts such as gnoming - students [PARA]pay to have their friends tailed and annoyed by someone dressed[PARA]in red and green with a fishing rod. The Community Action [PARA]Project (known as 'CAP'), organised by a sabbatical officer, runs[PARA]over 30 community projects, especially holidays for [PARA]disadvantaged kids.[HDNG]RELIGIOUS:[EHDNG][PARA][STAT][BULL] 7 chaplains[ESTAT][PARA]For Anglicans, the Minster, home to one of England's 2 [PARA]Archbishops, has an [ITAL]inspiring influence, which has rubbed off on[PARA]other Christian denominations[EITAL]. Following an incident involving a [PARA]Jewish massacre nearly 1,000 years ago, there is no synagogue [PARA]in York, although there is a mosque.[HDNG]PAID WORK:[EHDNG][PARA]Plenty of pubs and a few restaurants during term time, and the [PARA]conference trade brings opportunities during vacations.[PARA][PARA]
