Freshers’ Week 2012
This years Freshers’ week although a little different from last year - was definitely one not to forget. With over 1400 students attending our move in parties in Cheltenham and Gloucester, we brought you bands such as Thrill Collins, Hello Lazarus, Hunter and not to forget XFactor favourites, DUKE. What an amazing night that was! Then throughout Freshers’ week we took you to the newest club in town – Voodoo – where we have the biggest Monday night in town- Glamourpuss. It was a fabulous night: the sight of seeing everyone in bright orange T shirts from Vodka Revolutions up to Voodoo (and all of you behaving) brought huge smiles to myself and the rest of the team here in the SU. Comedians and Hypnotists gave us a chilled-out night or two just to laugh at each other
Your Education & Welfare Officer (Silas Miller)
Since I took over the Education and Welfare Officer role about 4 months ago, your Students’ Union has grown and grown. We have new staff members, a new bar at Park Campus, a new website (www. yourstudentsunion.com) and new T-shirts to top it off.
By Beth Mahoney A group of friendly student Superstars were on hand at each campus to give directions and answer questions from the “newbies”. Halls Representatives were also walking around the halls blocks to help out with any halls related problems, and to help Freshers unpack, settle in, and get to know their new flatmates. Once everyone had moved in, bid their relatives good-bye and finished their unpacking, barbecues were held at Park, FCH and Oxstalls campuses in

A Month With Miller Wow, I don’t know about all of you guys but I am shattered. As you are reading this I am still recovering from a very busy Freshers’ week. Having said that, we all had a lot of fun and we hope you did too. I will take this opportunity to welcome every fresher to the University of Gloucestershire and to welcome back all returning students. I hope you are all looking forward to a productive and exciting year.
On Sunday 16th September, the University opened its doors and welcomed hundreds of new Freshers onto its three main campuses in Cheltenham and Gloucester. Freshers from across the UK and beyond arrived at the campuses’ accompanied by an array of nervous looking relatives all laden with suitcases, bags, boxes, and pretty much everything but the kitchen sink.

Media Update
The most exciting project of the year for me is increasing the participation and prestige of the Staff Excellence Awards and the Student Led Teaching Awards. These are award ceremonies held together that let students and
staff alike give back to lecturers, support staff and many more by nominating them for awards. I am very pleased to say that this year’s awards will be held on May 1st at Cheltenham Town Hall to really cement the awards as an important and exciting part of Uni life. (Watch this space!) So that is my short –ish round up of what I have been up to so far. The SU is a great family that everyone can get involved in. Have a great year, all the best. Silas

This photo shows the amazing colours produced by a mix of artificial lighting and natural light at the Eden Project, Cornwall. During post production I increased the vibrance as well as using several layer and brush effects to bring out the contrast of some areas of the room. Overall the photo realises a scientific and futuristic vision.

The editing was used to emphasise the blue light connoting his dual personality. 7. This photo makes use of the editing tools of Photoshop by creating a new spin of architecture at the Eden Project. Often the focus is on the biomes, however this newer educational building is so different and more architectually different to the surrounding quarry.

maitlands city branding As part of a project college, I had the chance to experience branding and a time pressured project of a local estate agent. 5-11 Millbay Road, Plymouth, PL1 3LF 01752 112233
The brief was to create the branding for a new subbrand called ‘Maitlands City’ aiming at first time buyers by providing a metro cafĂŠ service in the city centre of Plymouth. I had to create a letterhead as well as the logo. I decided that placing a lamp post within the logo would fall in line with the high street trend of looking traditional whilst embracing 21st century branding. The letterhead is in line with the logo as well as adding social media contact links for their target market to get up-to-date information conveniently. Programs used to create these include: Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign.

It isn’t as if our part-time Chancellor Slasher Osbourne wasn’t told. But he ignored the warnings by Robert Skidelsky, Paul Krugman, Martin Wolf, Ed Balls and others and even accused us of being “deficit deniers”. Keynes turned out to be right.

Police forces face a £500m black hole as they struggle to cope with Government demands to cut their budgets, the spending watchdog warns today. The 43 forces in England and Wales need to save £1.5bn by 201415 between them through efficiency savings as a result of the four-year austerity drive. But they have still only identified savings of £1bn, according to the National Audit Office (NAO), with 26 forces facing a cash shortfall within three years. it said some forces had only planned for three years instead of four, while planning by others “simply did not yield sufficient savings”. Ministers insist the savings can be made without affecting frontline policing. But Labour claims the squeeze will lead to 12,000 police officers losing their jobs. Margaret Hodge, the chair of the Committee of Public Accounts committee, said she was “deeply concerned” by the finding. The NAO said the Home Office had improved its financial management, but warned it was having problems finding savings within the department. It has to save £1.1bn a year by 2014-15, but is still uncertain how one-third of that sum can be found, the NAO said.

It is time to give big incentives for firms to invest and hire plus implement an enormous programme of infrastructure spending. The coalition still has no plan for growth and now is the time for the competents to take over. At the very least it is time for a new Chancellor who has some clue about economics.
SCIENCE
Mobiles ‘do not damage your health’ By Chris Stevenson
There is still “no convincing evidence” that mobile phones can adversely affect human health, according to a major new report released today. The comprehensive review of scientific studies, by the Health Protection Agency’s Independent Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (Agnir), states that despite the “substantial” amount of recent research the only established risk is using a mobile phone while driving. Having combed through hundreds of studies, the group found that while there had been a number of reports about the risk of cancer, none of these findings had been replicated. Professor Anthony Swerdlow, chairman of the of the advisory group and an epidemiologist at the Institute of Cancer Research, said: “We now have much firmer information than we had on several areas, for instance symptoms, cognitive effects and brain tumours.” He added that you “can’t prove negatives” in science but that there was accumalating reassurance” about a lack of adverse health effects.” John Walsh, page 16
