Centre GP tells conference that his s' dent patients smell of 'bo~ odour, fried food and cabbage'••. UEA Heal
EVER WONDERED what that strange smell wafting down the corridors of university residences Is? Ever walked Into a student house and felt the urge to run back outside and take breaths of fresh air? By - - - - . Dr Paul Coathup of UEA's Health Centre has a possible answer: students smell and it's official. That's what he told delgates to a recent Labour education conference in Skegness, informing them that students nowadays have a "characteristic smell." Nasty niffs include "damp, unwashed clothes, body odour,
Alison Wisely and Joanne Potter fried food and cabbage", he said. "You can smell it 25 yards away, and increasingly, a number of students have that smell, because they are living in hovels and they can't wash their clothes and they can't afford the heating
costs to run a bath." Dr Coathup also remarked on the growing divide in the economic profiles of students "At the same time, The smell of some of the posher perfumes is also in evidence", be said. 'The contrast is growing as the well-off get better-off." Union officers quoted Dr Coathup's comments in the publicity for last week's UGM, urging students to "fight the stench of poverty by voting for action on rents and grants."
