Thursday

Comedy Night!!!! Tickets available from the LUSU shop. £3 with a purple card, £5

Saturday

The biggest day of term so far!!!!!!!! Tuition fees protest! Meet at 8.30am in the JCR.

How many of you have ever complained about how much you pay to go to uni, or how much debt you are in????? If you have, imagine how much worse it will be for students if the government raises tuition fees! The government is considering raising tuition fees by so much that graduates will need to earn £25,000 a year just to pay off the interest on their loan! If this happens we will face a situation where only the rich can afford to go to uni. You might not think a rise in tuitionfees will affect you because it won’t come into place until well after you leave uni, but just think about it for a while. In 10 years time your doctor may no longer be somebody who is doing what they do because they are good at their job, it may well affect you then…..

Do something about it, don’t leave it to everyone else!

Sunday

The QUIZ!!!!! £1 to play. In the bar from 8pm. Bar food on sale.

doesn’t?)……… well we might have just the thing for you……. Cartmel is
