EASTER 2003 - THE OFFICIAL ENGLISH-LANGUAGE NEWSPAPER OF UWB STUDENTS’ UNION - FREE
SEX PERVERT IN BANGOR UNI?
By: Clare Chadwick
In early March a female student was working in a Main Arts computer room on College Road in Upper Bangor, when she realised another student was looking up pornographic sites on the internet and masturbating publicly. The girl, who has chosen to withold her name, was horrified by this and is said to have been quite disturbed
INSIDE
by the incident. The young man in question is yet to be caught, but a source close to the witness told Seren, “checks are being made on the computer to find out which users logged on that day; he will almost certainly be identified and dealt with accordingly.” This is just one of many cases brought to Seren’s attention since September;
cases have ranged from minor thefts, to rapes involving the date rape drug, Rohypnol, which can be slipped into drinks without being tasted. This week Seren spoke to the Head of Student Services, Fran Tate, to find out more about what the University is doing to protect all of its students, and how we can prevent these crimes from happening by taking some simple steps to increase personal safety.

HEAD OF STUDENT SERVICES SPEAKS TO SEREN What does the University do to keep checks on incidents that take place involving its students? - There are monthly liason meetings between the police and myself to discuss any incidents which have been reported to the police. They have voiced their concerns about students not reporting incidents because they feel they will be made to take their cases to court. This is not the case and we have been encouraging students to report any assaults or thefts to the police. Have their been many cases reported recently? - There have not been many recently but again, this may be because students leave cases unreported as they may fear being made to prosecute and go to court; others think their cases are too minor to report, even though they could be of crucial importance to the Police, as they can help build up a bigger picture of crime in Bangor. There has been one date rape case
this year however, and some reports of spiked drinks in local pubs and clubs which the Police were alerted about, and are looking into. What advice would you give to students, particularly young women, who go out drinking? - Do not leave your drink unattended; if you go to the toilet take your drink; if you want to dance then leave your drink with a friend or finish it first. Do not let a stranger buy you a drink, and always stay with your friends, it’s unsafe to be alone, even in a club full of people. If you feel different to how you usually feel after one or two drinks then seek assistance from a friend or someone who works where you are. How will someone know if they have had their drink spiked? - Signs to look for are dizziness and drowsiness when Rohypnol is involved, but drinks are not always spiked with date rape drugs; other illegal drugs are sometimes slipped into peoples drinks. Small strips are being sold in
the Students’ Union which can detect most drugs which can be used to spike drinks. These strips do not, however, detect Rohypnol, and their effectiveness is not guarenteed and they are not conclusive. The police are warning people only to use these strips as an extra defence against having your drink spiked; the best prevention is to keep your drinks on you at all times and only buy them yourself. How is the University increasing the safety of students outside the pubs and clubs, where many assaults take place? - The University has a range of measures to increase safety, including CCTV, security staff patrols, and maintaining and improving lighting around Bangor. More lights have been put up by the path between the Ffriddoedd Site and the Reichel Halls of Residence, and students have been advised to pass through these areas at night accompanied by a friend.
Briefly... Universities prosecuted over music download THE British record industry is to prosecute universities that allow students to copy music over the internet through their computer networks. Heads of universities will face criminal sanctions if they collude in the illegal downloading of music files that is costing the music industry £2 billion a year. The industry believes that universities, which offer students unlimited access to computers, are producing a generation of fans who believe that music is a commodity available free of charge. Websites such as Kazaa and Grokster allow internet users to download digital copies of the latest hits and produce their own compilation CDs for nothing. Universities countered that it was not their job to police the internet on behalf of a record industry that is suffering a slump in CD sales. Every university in Britain will receive a letter from the British Phonographic Industry and its sister organisation, the International Federation of the Phonographic

Industry, reminding them that unlicensed internet copying is a breach of legislation. The federation quotes studies conducted at universities showing that 50 to 100 per cent of the institutions internet capability had been taken over by illegal file-sharing traffic.
Student loan levels “set to rise” Student loans could increase to cut the level of credit card debt run up by undergraduates, Education Secretary Charles Clarke has suggested. The situation for many in higher education was “very tight”, he told the Commons Education Select Committee. Students can currently apply for a loan worth up to £3,950 a year outside London and from next year will be entitled to means-tested grants worth up to £1,000. Mr Clarke said: “I would hope we end up in a position where everybody can get enough money on which to live. That’s the way it should be.” The argument that fear of debt put some people off going to university had “some substance”.
ORGY IN HAUNTED GYM by Clare Chadwick
A student group was recently formed to delve into the supernatural and get closer to answering questions asked by both sceptics and believers. The Occult Research Group for Youths, (ORGY), investigates any paranormal activity around North Wales and already has nearly 40 members. Fifteen members of the group were invited to spend a night in a gym (converted from an old chapel) in Conway, by its owner, Dave Kesteven. Although no ghostly sightings were made during the night, the group did have some visitors in the twilight hours. These turned out to be policemen investigating the gym after they saw torches flashing about inside. Mr. Kesteven was present with the group the whole night however, and was there to explain the situation to the police, who departed soon after. Some of the group found various experiences of the night very successful, particularly when the Ouija Board was laid out. One member of the group said, “After
a few minutes the glass began to move around the board in no particular direction, but then began to answer questions we asked about names and places. It spelt out, “Mary”, “1928” and answered “yes” when we asked if she lived in the chapel before it was converted. Some became unsettled however when the words, “baby”, “dead” and “garden” were spelt out very quickly. Sarah Hutchinson, who participated in the Ouija Board said, “All four of us around the board began to feel very emotional and a bit ill when she began to talk of a dead baby. I felt very uneasy.” Matthew Roberts, who was taking photographs at the time, went outside into the garden to see if any images would show up on
his night vision digital camera; but when he got into the garden the batteries went dead, so he returned inside to swop them for new ones. The camera worked fine inside again but he changed the batteries anyway, only to find they wouldn’t work outside either. All images were mysteriously wiped off his camera; all footage of the night was lost. To find out more about the group and their investigations coming up, contact Matt at: Occult Research Group @hotmail.com The group also hold meetings every Monday in the Belle Vue pub in Upper Bangor at 6:30pm, and invite everyone with an interest in the paranormal (and beer!) to join them.

STUDENTS’ PEACE VIGIL AS WAR CONTINUES Bangor Students took part in a peace vigil outside the Main Arts building on College Road on March 16th. Candles were lit and the word “PEACE” was spelt out in nightlight candles on the ground. The vigil, which began at 7pm, attracted over 30 people who stood in the cold to express their views and how they felt about the war. Vigil outisde main arts Music student, Fiona what has taken place, and what is to Linforth, spoke up for the group to say, “We live in a time come. What we do in our vigils won’t when there is enough violence already; stop whats happening, we know that; innocent people are going to get hurt, but it allows us to let those out there, so we needed that time to reflect on including the families of all the soldiers,
to know we are thinking of them.” To become more involved in student protests and vigils about the War, email the Seren Editor for contact details of the group.
RAG WEEK 2003 On Saturday 22nd March, RAG (Raise and Give) held their annual sponsored bungee jump in aid of local charities. Over 20 people turned up to jump, each raising at least £50. The bungee jump, held in the car park by Bangor Pier, was off a crane at least 120 feet tall, and being such a glorious spring day, crowds gathered on the grass to watch the daring students jump for good causes. Some were adventurous enough to do it twice, trying different positions; others headed off to the pub to celebrate doing something so daunting infront of all their friends. The jump was just one of the events held by RAG over RAG Week; others included a Slave Auction in Timeand a cake sale in Main Arts. RAGmade hundreds of pounds for various charities and provided a fun filled week for the students. Weldone to the whole group and we look forward to more money raising events in Bangor!

LATEST BANDS
MineIsTheGround
A new band has been taking Bangor’s nightlife by storm! “MineIsTheGround”, (pictured above), consists of four talented male students. Led by Liam Berry, they described themselves as, “Moonrock taking heavy emotional music, and pushing the boundaries of what already exists in the mainstream.” This certainly had the approval of their audience in Jocks Bar on Wednesday 26th March where the band played as part of “Trash Live.” Their unique music had the crowd off their seats and dancing in no time. Andy Chown, another member of the band, added, “It’s a shame that Bangor doesn’t have many musical venues which cater for rock music; there’s no rock scene here.” Trash have been making their best efforts recently in an attempt to provide more rock in Bangor’s student culture, notably with “Trash Live,” something which seems to be going very successfully so far. Andy Tomlinson pointed out that there are plenty of bands
but no focal point; there’s nowhere for young musicians to develop their talents. Steven Jones, the fourth band
member, went on to tell SEREN that they consider themselves to be a “politically conscious band.” They took part in a protest on Saturday 30th March concerning the Esso petrol station on the A55. Nicci Macleol, the Secretary of the student group, “People and Planet,” organsises events which the band enthusiastically take part in. Nicci spoke to Seren and said, “Esso are the only oil company that don’t invest any of its profits into renewable energy, and they have actively sabotaged global talks on climate change.” People and Planet will be holding a green electricity campaign stall at the Sustainability Fair on 6th April in Hugh Owen hall (college rd), beginning at 11am. If you would like to contact Nicci about People and Planet’s upcoming protests and events, email her at: sou805@bangor.ac.uk If you would like more information about the band, “Mine Is The Ground,” then send an email to the Editor of Seren asking for contact details.

GET RECRUITED THIS APRIL THE RECRUIT - FILM Reviewed by: Dan Foulder
15
Farrell plays Clayton, an MIT computer whiz kid recruited by grizzled CIA veteran Walter Burke (Pacino) and taken to the top secret ‘Farm’ training camp. Here he falls for beautiful fellow trainee Layla (Bridget Moynahan). But in the CIA “Nothing is as it seems” You’d be forgiven for thinking that this sounds like an interesting premise with the intriguing pairing of Farrell and Pacino locking horns with each other in a school for future James Bonds. Sadly what you get instead is a slightly enjoyable, formulaic thriller, which relies on twists, which alternate between the obvious and the ridiculous. In the current climate a film such as this could be extremely relevant, questioning the CIA’s historical activities particularly their fondness for toppling Arab governments. However Clayton’s labelling of the CIA as, “Old white men who were asleep when we needed them most,” is the films only attempt to make any sort of political statement. In fact it plays out almost like a
CIA recruitment ad, no mention of the CIA’s past indiscretions, just Burke delivering the agency’s hazy moral justification to the recruits. The film plods on, regardless of glaring plot holes, with increasing silliness till the final plot twists by which time the audience have (a) seen them coming from miles off an (b) couldn’t really care less. On the whole the movie just feels tired and forced and the actors reflect this. Farrell is a charismatic lead but struggles with the poor script. He’s been ‘the next big thing’ for over a year now and he’s got precious little to show for it. With the notable exception of the excellent Minority Report he’s starred in a string of mediocre (‘Daredevil’, ‘Tigerland’) and plain crap films. (Hart’s War). He’s going to have to do a lot better than ‘The Recruit’ if he’s going to justify the hype. Even the usually dependable Pacino is disappointing. He coasts through the film on autopilot with his usual mixture of shoutiness and demonic smiles. The real disappointment though is director Roger Donaldson. His last
film Thirteen Days was a taut and enjoyable thriller despite having Kevin Costner in a starring role. It’s such a pity that with the acting talent available he made something as mediocre as ‘The Recruit.”
MY BIG FAT GREEK DVD MY BIG FAT GREEK WEDDING - DVD Reviewed by: Rob Harris
Are you looking for big scares, big thrills, lots of action and adventure? Then wait a couple more weeks and rent out Harry Potter for this has none. My Big Fat Greek wedding however, is the best light-hearted, romantic comedy to enter this world for a long time. Written and Directed by the largely unknown Nia Vardalos, this Tom Hanks produced film is the highest ever grossing independent film to date, and for good reason. Unlucky in love Toula Portokalos (played by Vardolos) finally finds Mr Right; however, she is from a strong Greek background and
Mr Right, Ian Miller, Sex and the City star John Corbett, is not Greek which, unsurprisingly, leads to complications and laughter. With excellent performances from the cast the story follows predictable lines all the way to the end. Don’t watch this film expecting big laughs, for there are only a few, but if you want a film that will put a happy kid smile on your face then this is the one to get. The only complaints are that it is a bit too predictable and could have done with a few more laugh-outloudmoments. However on the whole this is a superb film, definitely one for the romantics out there!

PANDA + SQUIRREL = ROCK SQUIRREL EP – Various Reviewed by: Frank Swain
The track listing of Fierce Panda’s new compilation EP reads like a who’s who of the best new bands in Britain. Boasting thisGIRL, Funeral For a Friend, & Hundred Reason’s faves The Copperpot Journals, on top of tracks by less well known but no less impressive Jarcrew, Engerica and Million Dead. The EP is a relentless 22-minute bout with some fearsome heavyweight sweat-worthy rock underdogs. It’s all there: hoarse screaming, crashing guitars, stop-starts, & that emo-esque descent from full blast to acapello and back again to solid noise. Simply brilliant. This is music best played at full volume whilst shouting and throwing your limbs around in a crazy way. My only advice can be to get this EP, play repeatedly, and make damn sure you catch these bands soon, because in one year the closest you’ll be able to get to them is the back of a one squillion capacity stadium.

CINDERELLA WITH A TWIST Starring: Andy Morgan, Hannah Kearney, Kelly Rowland, Polly-Emily Taylor. Director: Dave Bowman The acting talents of the cast, particularly Andy Morgan and Polly-Emily Taylor were exceptional, but were wasted on a rather weak, predictable plot. With Dave Bowman as the Director, one would expect something more original. With the exception of Polly-Emily Taylor (who played her part perfectly), Kelly Rowland, who played Minerva Kemp, seemed to be the only girl entirely comfortable both singing and acting. With her relaxed and friendly smile and perfectly trained voice she stole the stage in every scene she appeared in. Hannah Kearney, although she obviously knew her character well, did not appear to enjoy herself; she did
not smile, and seemed nervous when singing. The songs tended to be a bit too high for her voice, particularly, “Please Mr. Cinders.” Andy Morgan, who played the lead, Jim Lancaster, was also a brilliant actor with an equally brilliant voice. When asked what his favourite scene in the play is, he replied, “The barrel scene when I appear naked in a barrel.” Ours too, Andy, ours too! With his acting abilities (and looks!), and the beautiful voice of Kelly Rowland, I can’t complain. I enjoyed the night and look forward to the next SODA Production.

EATING DISORDERS EPIDEMIC HITS WALES The beginning of February was Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and a report issued to coincide with that stated that Eating Disorders have reached epidemic proportions across the Western World. The UK, however, cannot cope with the number of sufferers, and Wales can been seen as the worst area with no specialist treatment facilities. One of the highest proportions of populations of sufferers are students, because of the stresses of academic work coupled with moving away from friends and family to university. It is estimated that approximately 15% of students have bulimic tendencies, so in Bangor with a student population of around 8,000, this means that over 1,000 are suffering. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder with around 10% of sufferers dying from complications of the starvation diet that they cannot control. The question that rises from this is what is society going to do about this to help these people? A lot of energy within the media is engaged in blaming other formats of the media and fashion, they believe that particularly girls and women look at celebrities such as Geri Halliwell and diet to look just like them. This is not the experience of most sufferers and is something that has to be changed because sufferers of eating disorders are not simply
going through a stage that they will grow out of. Sufferers of Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating have very low selfesteem and are using food as a way to have a sense of control over their own lives. This does not mean that the media doesn’t have a role to play, as many people look at these people and believe that they are happy because of their size. Also the media pounces upon celebrities because of their size, such as Rick from Pop Idol, and this can give permission for others to bully according to size, something which is to me, completely unacceptable. My final point is that in Britain we do not want to know how people are really feeling, we all ask the question “How are you?” expecting the answer “OK”, we need allow emotions to be talked about freely, especially with young children so they know that it is okay to talk about how they feel. Maybe this will reduce the number of people seeking self destructive behaviors, such as those exhibited in Eating Disorders. If you want further information you can contact the EDA on either www.edauk.com or 01603 621 414. If you are a sufferer and want to join the support group, Positive Image, which meets in Bangor, then write to Lucy at her Seren email address provided in the Contacts list on Page 2.

THE PREMIERSHIP HOTS UP In the coming weeks the Ffridd Bar will be host to some dramatic football matches, be they relegation struggles or title battles, they ought to catch your attention. With exams scheduled within the next couple of months there’s sure to be the odd few students ‘resting’ from their packed revision schedule, and what better way to relax than from behind a pint or three, sat in front of the big screen and, whether you follow Arsenal or the Hammers, there should be something to interest you.

THE LLEW REES MEMORIAL PRIZE A prize will be awarded annually to the UWB student who has made the greatest contribution to raising the profile of UWB sport by his or her personal achievement at the national or international level, and has also contributed and participated in competitions representing the University as an individual or as a team member.
The end of the footballing period is closing upon us and some of the most important matches of the season are to be shown on Sky Sports and aired in the Ffridd bar. Commentators and pundits across the land are comparing ‘remaining fixtures’ and deciding exactly who will be coming up, who’s going down and who’ll win the biggest prize of them all (in Britain), the Premiership trophy. At the wrong end of the league it looks like being a three team tussle between West Ham, Bolton Wanderers and one of the surprise packages of the season (not in the good sense!), Leeds United. In April, Bolton look like having the toughest of close season run-ins with Chelsea, Blackburn, recently revitalised by a win against the champions, and the holders themselves, Arsenal, all in line. Sandwiched between these is the small matter of a home match against their main relegation rivals, West Ham, a game that will either hand Bolton the final nail for their coffin or, alternatively, a crow bar for their escape. West Ham themselves don’t have it easy, with a challenging tie against European hopefuls Southampton, the vital match against Bolton and unpredictable encounters with Villa, Middlesbrough and Man City. Leeds must contend throughout April with teams mostly challenging for a place in European football next season.
Bolton, desperate not to lose their Premiership status, could threaten a sometimes over confident Arsenal.
They take on Charlton, Spurs, Saints and Blackburn with only Fulham out of the top ten. Meanwhile, towering above them, Arsenal and Manchester United look, once again, like the two teams waiting to snatch another taste of domestic success. This Championship though, looks to be a fascinating run-in, United being only two points off Arsenal although they have some far more difficult encounters to come. Liverpool, third placed Newcastle and the crucial away match to Arsenal are all still to come. Newcastle are five points off first placed Arsenal but they still have a very real chance of finishing second, if not (although unlikely) top of the league, especially if they can upset United at St James Park and the Gunners slip up at any point over their last few games. Arsene Wenger is unlikely though, to let Arsenal lie down quietly, particularly after their disappointing European challenge. They still have Villa, Alex Ferguson’s men at Highbury, Middlesbrough and Bolton all coming up in April. Their remaining fixtures should not provide too many problems but, as many a pundit has said, football can be very unpredictable and even
The value of the prize will be £750 in the case of a single winner or £400 each in the case of two joint winners. The money should be used for further advancement of the winners performance and could include purchase of equipment, additional coaching, travel etc. Applications should be received by April 11th 2003 and should include: 1. A complete record of the candidates performances during the previous twelve months. 2. Letters of support from club, coach or Athletic Union. The award will be decided by a sub committee of the UWB Physical Recreation Committee and announced during the second week of the summer term. Please send all applications to Sharon Roberts, Sports Development Officer, Maesglas Sports Centre.
