CONTENTS EDITORIAL

Welcome to November’s edition of The Magdalen. Before I say anything else, I’ve been asked to explain why your student magazine is called as such. The Magdalen was chosen as a title last year to help create a focal point for the student community. Magdalen Green is often ‘frequented’ by us students during the sunnier months for post exam BBQ’s or in colder climates for a spot of sledging.

Either way, Magdalen Green is an ideal location to extend your network of friends and feel part of the bigger picture that is student living. Thus, we have the reason why we now have, The Magdalen.

Moving on! Fantastic enthusiasm across a range of meetings has ensured that we are now able to bring you more extensive reviews, fashion updates, political coverage and university news and sport. Read about Dundee’s Music Scene and take some top tips for any student’s Autumn/Winter ‘collection selection’ from our fashion team. On a more serious note, The Magdalen also reports on Britain’s nuclear capabilities in addition to the plight of Mordechi Vanunu, currently fighting for the most basic of human rights.

With time, The Magdalen’s objective is to better encapsulate the voice of Dundee University’s student body and to provide a platform for eager journalists, photographers, lobbyists or activists.

We require constant input and opinions on the issues which are of the most concern to you. If you have any comments for the team or would like to address any of the articles featured, please email themagdalen@dusa.co.uk to guarantee that your views are considered.

Nuclear weapons, a Scottish rector and the freedom of speech

By Anne Hampel

With the appointment of a new university rector, Craig Murray, a political issue that has already been present in international news and on the internet for over twenty years (but that is almost unheard of among students here) finally reaches Dundee. It is the story of Mordechai Vanunu, an Israeli citizen and employee of a nuclear power plant in the Negev Desert who, in 1986, gave an interview to the London Sunday Times, disclosing secret information about Israeli plans to develop nuclear weapons.

Vanunu was kidnapped from Rome by Israeli secret service and brought to trial.

He was convicted of treason and sentenced to 18 years in jail. More than half of those he spent in solitary confinement, and when released in 2004 he was placed under severe travel and communication restrictions. However, on his release he was also elected rector of Glasgow University, which is when the real story begins for us.

Websites and declarations of solidarity for Vanunu, who says that for him it was an act of conscience, have existed practically since the day he gave that interview and shocked Israel in 1986. All kinds of organizations have campaigned and are still campaigning for his release. Their voices are getting stronger. In May 2007, the restrictions on Vanunu were extended for another year.

The rectors of the remaining four Scottish universities as well as 25 Members of the Scottish Parliament have joined forces with the SPSC (Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, whose main aim is to tell the world what life is really like for Palestinians under Israeli rule) to have Vanunu set free at last. They state that Vanunu is a prisoner of conscience and he should be able to enjoy the same freedoms as other citizens, not just because he is rector of a Scottish university but also because he is a free citizen, living in the 21st century. He has been handed a six-month sentence by the Israeli court, against which he will appeal on November, 13.

Undoubtedly, this is an important human rights issue and as such deserves the attention it receives. However, before you get up to support the public petition to

free Vanunu or to start your own letterwriting campaign (40 more MSPs have to be won for the case to get a majority in Parliament), it is worth bearing in mind that Vanunu is not the only prisoner in the world, be it prisoner of conscience or otherwise. Vanunu wants to carry on with his campaign against nuclear weapons, which of course is a noble cause, but so are the concerns of all prisoners of conscience that are listed, for example, on Amnesty International’s website.

Note From Editor: Please write into the Magdalen’s Letters Page and voice your opinion on this matter.

Do you think Rector Craig Murray is right to support this cause? The December edition of the Magdalen will bring you further developments.

Club Mirror Awards

By Adam Patrick

The Annual Club Mirror Awards were held in The Palace Hotel, Manchester on 1st November. Vice President of Services; Adam Patrick and Vice President of Communications; Dave MacLeod travelled to Manchester to be in attendance on behalf of The Union. Dundee University Students Association came a very credible second. The award was based on membership amounts, services provided to the students i.e. the amount of bars, clubs and catering facilities you have as well as how safe the students are within the building! Unfortunately, The Union missed out on the top prize to Sheffield Students Union. However, all students at Dundee should be proud that D.U.S.A is the Number 1 student’s union in Scotland and the second best in the whole of the United Kingdom. Congratulations!

Alex McLeish backs Lung Cancer Awareness Campaign As Lung Cancer Awareness Month gets underway, Macmillan Cancer Support has teamed up with the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation, with support from Scotland’s Football Manager Alex McLeish, in a bid to alert men and women to the early symptoms & tell tale signs of lung cancer.

Lung cancer is the biggest cancer killer in Scotland and 4000 people die each year of the disease. Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of any cancer and over 90% will die from the disease. One of the main reasons for this is because people present to their GPs too late. Many lives could be saved if symptoms were discovered earlier and this is the message being reinforced by the charities during Lung Cancer Awareness Month “don’t leave it too late to get checked out.”

Alex McLeish is also backing the campaign by encouraging men who may look & feel healthy, to also be vigilant of the warning signs. Although rates of lung cancer are dropping in men and still rising in women, men are much more likely to be affected by the disease and can sometimes be more reluctant to visit a doctor if they are worried.

Alex McLeish said, “We men are particularly guilty of putting off visiting our GP if something is on our mind and we convince ourselves that it will go away on its own.

Although lung cancer is common, I don’t think men tend to worry that they may actually get it if they feel healthy. I am delighted to be involved in helping to raise awareness throughout this month. I’d urge anyone who has a concern, no matter how small, to go to their GP and get it checked out.”

The warning signs of lung cancer developing include: * * *

Having a cough for more than three weeks, A chest infection that won’t go away even with antibiotics Feeling more tired than usual.

There are a number of reasons why you might have some of these symptoms, but it

is vital to arrange a check-up with your GP if you have any concerns.

Shona Robison MSP, Minister for Public Health said: “The Scottish Government is committed to reducing the burden of lung cancer in Scotland.”

Carbon Monoxide poisoning in Hollyoaks halls in Chester, Fact not fiction!

With all that partying, socialising.and not to mention, studying, it’s easy to overlook how something as small as a carbon monoxide alarm could mean the difference between life and death, which is exactly what happened to the residents of Hollyoaks in Chester earlier this month.

Chester doesn’t exist! True, but the gripping storyline brings to light the harsh reality of what can actually happen if you don’t take steps to protect yourself.

Library space everywhere, but not for books.

By David Gardiner

The extension of a library may well drive a person to the, not entirely unreasonable, conclusion that it would result in it holding more books. Over the summer, the University of Dundee managed to buck this trend in spectacular fashion, with a mass disposal of books in the name of expansion of the Main Library. The eventual aim was to reassess holdings with the view to disposing of thousands of volumes – a figure The Courier quotes a university source as being set at 22,000.

Killing over 50 people a year and injuring an estimated 300, Carbon Monoxide can kill in as little as 15 minutes and with students spending the bulk of their income on rent, you would hope that this would entitle them to a safe living environment.

Apparently not. Bad housing leaves students at risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

Caused by a faulty fuel appliance such as a faulty central heating systems, gas appliances and fires, you can’t see it, you can’t hear it and you can’t smell it!

With symptoms such as a headache, nausea, dizziness, tiredness and confusion, its all too easy to mistake the symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning with flu, food poisoning and even a hang over!

A local economist claimed that as part of this disposal process he procured a four volume text from the university for 80 pence. At the same time, this evidently weighty tome, David Ricardo’s Critical Assessments, was being sold for £1,500 on Ebay. Along with numerous other materials, this was acquired from the now defunct Dundee Business School’s library.

Protecting yourself against this deadly poison is a must and as easy as installing a simple Carbon Monoxide alarm, such as the kite marked Ei204 alarm from Ei Electronics.

The Ei204 uses a proven electrochemical cell type sensor which checks Carbon Monoxide concentration every 50 seconds.

The portable Ei204 alarm, available from Homebase, RobertDyas, Sainsburys, Wilkinsons and Woolworths, requires no tricky wiring or maintenance and can be simply placed on a bedroom table or near an appliance.

Not before time, and having been roundly embarrassed in newspapers across the country, the university has decided to reconsider its options.

Exams, coursework, overdrafts and loans... students have enough to worry about!

Remove one extra worry from student life and make sure you’re protected.

The search for Dundee University student continues.

The news of Daniel Kyle McEwan’s disappearance has sent ripples through campus and continues to be in the forefront of student’s thoughts. Family and friends have rallied together to send out a clear message to help in the search for the Dundee University student.

Kyle is 19, six foot tall, slim with a pale complexion, has short brown hair and blue eyes. He was last seen on Sunday morning 28 October 2007 at 3am in Whitehall Street, Dundee. Kyle was wearing a black long-sleeved shirt over a black-coloured vest or tank top, dark jeans with white and green striped Vans trainers. Tayside Police are asking for anyone with information to contact them on 01382 223200.

If you have been affected by this issue and would like to talk with someone, H.E.L.P Service Coordinator Michelle Bazeley on Level 4 at The Union will help you seek the guidance you need.

British Dental School Association Sports Day

By Martin Nimmo

Dundee didn’t quite know what had hit it on Sunday morning as 400 dental students made their way home to their respective schools after two days of non-stop ‘uberbanter’. As the coaches rolled up to the Apex Hotel on Friday afternoon, it was apparent the party had started many hours prior to arrival for the majority of participants. A small crisis was averted as the Leeds bus was dramatically rescued from an impromptu stop on the scenic outskirts of Cumbernauld allowing the ‘Sports Legends’ pre-party to kick off as planned.

There were truly legendary efforts made on the fancy dress front. From Cool Runnings and Apollo Creed to the Purple Cobras and the Gladiators, there was enough lycra to make the place look like a Jane Fonda video gone wrong. After drinking the Underground out of its entire weekends supply of Red Stripe in just three hours, it was clear to all that the BDSA were in town.

A life saving full Scottish Breakfast on Saturday morning prepared the athletes for a day of intensive sporting action at Riverside pitches. With points being awarded for each game won in knockout tournaments, the competition was rife. In total 11 dental schools competed in the sports, with Glasgow winning the men’s football; Leeds winning the men’s rugby (after Dundee forfeited due to hangovers); Manchester winning the ladies football; and Leeds winning ladies hockey. After points were totalled for every game won, Liverpool and Leeds were drawing on points with Dundee and Manchester both five points behind the leaders. All then could be won or lost on the next series of gruelling challenges including tug-o-war, curry and cracker eating and boat races. The tension could be cut with a knife as the top two teams level on points went into the ‘final drink-off’. Six of Dundee and Leeds’ finest boozers stepped up to the challenge of downing 12 pints and a crate of VK through 3 metre funnels, with Dundee eventually victorious by an extremely close margin of 2 bottles of VK Apple.

The BDSA then watched whilst England’s rugby team went through to the finals of the World Cup. This was an eye-opening time for many English supporters who found out just how passionately the Scots support any team playing the ‘Auld Enemy’.

The night then finished up with a plethora of cheesy tunes keeping the party going till the wee hours. A massive thank-you goes out to all the BDSA Reps who co-ordinated their schools, and also to everyone who made the effort to make it up to Dundee. It was awesome to see such a large turnout, and I hope everyone had a quality time!

University and College Union forced into U-turn over ‘racist’ policy

By David Gardiner

The University and College Union (UCU), which operates at the University of Dundee and has recently come to prominence as the primary critics of university cuts, was earlier this month forced into a public U-turn over its plans to engage in an absolute academic boycott of Israel.

The UCU, formerly the Association of University Teachers (AUT) and the National Association of Teachers in Further and Higher Education (NATFHE), is currently the world’s largest trade union for persons involved in higher education with around 116,000 members.

A motion passed at the organisation’s congress advocating discussion of such a boycott was referred by the body’s central office for legal advice. Subsequently, members were informed that by carrying forward the proposal, their actions would very likely fall foul of anti-discrimination laws. The motion was also criticised both internationally and externally for being broadly out with the union’s statement of purpose.

Mouth Cancer Awareness Week

By Martin Nimmo

The annual ‘Mouth Cancer Awareness Week’ took place nationally from the 12th – 17th November, with students from Dundee Dental School co-ordinating the campaign within the Students’ Union.

Student volunteers from the Dental School and SRC raised awareness of the signs and symptoms of mouth cancer, as well as offering smoking cessation and alcohol moderation advice to students at lunchtimes and club nights in DUSA.

Currently the incidence and death rate of mouth cancer in Scotland is increasing, with a 400% rise in the number of cases in under 35 year olds during the last 40 years.

Mouth cancer is directly linked to smoking and alcohol consumption therefore this campaign was an ideal way of making the younger population aware of these risk factors. The volunteers stressed the importance of self-examining the soft tissues in the mouth, especially under the tongue to look for any white or red patches; non-healing ulcers; or lumps which could possibly indicate changes leading to cancer.

Regular dental check-ups were also advised.

For more information go to www. mouthcancer.org .

Student Representative Council Last month, The Magdalen (page 8) brought details of your newly elected Student Representative Council (SRC). Council meets every 3 weeks to discuss student issues. This year the SRC is composed of 29 members plus the 7 members of the DUSA Executive and the Sports President. 16 of these positions are occupied by School Presidents. The position of Post Graduate Representative Taught is still to be co-opted onto council. Anyone interested in standing for this post should contact the Vice President of Representation Jordan Smith at vpr@dusa.co.uk or by telephone on 01382 386005.

Items which featured on last months Agenda included a proposal for a competitive School Challenge amongst the University colleges in anticipation of a University Challenge-style competition.

The controversial Sustainability Review was addressed as was the newly revised Constitution. As a result, working groups have been set up to develop issues raised.

Keen to push forward student campaigns, the SRC took on the campaign to promote Mouth Cancer Awareness on Wednesday 14 November within The Union.

This year’s SRC are adamant that they will be the most productive council to date.

Your representatives directly question the role of DUSA Executive and are continually looking to address the concerns of all students. Each representative is contactable via email, details of which can be found at www.dusa.co.uk.

Oppose the renewal of Trident: Unite against Militarism

by Jordan Smith and Richard Hawting

Over the past year or so the issue of the replacement of Britain’s “Nuclear Deterrent” has featured prominently in political coverage. The government decided that it was in Britain’s national interest to renew Britain’s nuclear weapons stocks called Trident, which is due to expire in 2025 and a vote in the Westminster Parliament in March supported the government’s position. The vote was the end to the process in which the government claimed a decision was still open to debate.

Yet this is misleading. The decision whether or not to replace Trident had already been taken by Tony Blair as early as December 2006, as he wrote in a letter asking permission from US President George W Bush, Blair desires “to discuss a further life extension - for UK purposes - of the D5 missile, to match the potential out of service date of our new submarines”.

Trident is not an independent deterrent as is often claimed, all features of the system depend on US support. This is because Britain is bound into a nuclear framework with the US by the Mutual Defence Agreement which covers all aspects of nuclear weapons design, development and maintenance.

Replacement of Trident would also be illegal under international law. Article 6 of the nuclear Non- Proliferation Treaty states that “Each of the Parties to the Treaty undertakes to pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to cessation of the nuclear arms race and an early date to nuclear disarmament”.

The fact that a decision, which will probably cost the UK Government around £25 billion, being taken in advance of the so-called period of debate is nothing new. Each time Britain has renewed its nuclear weapons the decision has been hidden behind closed doors with no opportunity for ordinary people to voice their objections.

It seems clear that if this was not the case and the British people had a say in the future of nuclear weapons in this country, the answer would be a resounding “No!” Clear majorities in recent polls have both opposed the decision to replace Trident (59%) and insisted that parliament be

consulted on the issue (81%). Yet even with the vote in Parliament, this appeared as a gesture to calm public hostility to the measure. With Blair and co. already having taken the decision in the months leading up to the vote, one wonders whether he would have paid any attention at all to parliament or the British people.

There have been some signs of hope since the Westminster vote. There was a vote in the Scottish Parliament in June which had an overwhelming majority against the renewal of Trident. The resistance from ordinary people has also been growing with the Faslane 365 blockade. Over a thousand arrests were made in a year in which there were continuous blockades at the Faslane Naval base where the weapons are kept.

The destructive capability of Trident is rarely mentioned by those who are in favour of replacing it. The four submarines have nearly 200 warheads between them, each eight times the size of the Hiroshima bomb which killed 140,000 people.

This potential for annihilation, combined with the £25 billion in costs, demonstrates that the interests of those in the powerhungry ruling elite in this country come before the interests and needs of the vast majority. The ambitions of advancing British corporate interests overseas and ensuring its status as an imperialist power in the world has been put before providing the most basic services for its population.

Just imagine the difference such an amount of money could make in reducing poverty, improving education or going some way to halt the privatization of our healthcare system.

However it is almost predictable with the events of recent years that such measures would be relegated to secondary importance. Britain has been involved in numerous wars during Blair’s leadership (Kosovo, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Iraq) and it seems that the increasingly militarist foreign policy over the past few years will continue to grow ever more rapidly. By taking this decision Britain will encourage other nations to reinforce their military capabilities whether that be nuclear or

’

…Britain is bound into a nuclear framework with the US by the Mutual Defense Agreement.

’

otherwise and this will inevitably lead to eventual conflict if the process of spending on military resources is not stopped.

This decision is also in keeping with the consistent attack on basic democratic rights which has been seen under Blair’s leadership. With his anti-terrorist legislation we have seen unprecedented power given to the police and his decisions despite wide popular hostility most notably to invade Iraq, have made him extremely unpopular.

Ordinary people must be made aware of the grave dangers where this could lead.

In 2002 the then British Defence Secretary Geoff Hoon indicated on more than one occasion that Trident might actually be used in a first strike capacity as a preemptive attack against a proportionate threat and that this could be against a non-nuclear weapon state. There must be strong unambiguous opposition to the renewal of Britain’s Trident missiles which must be linked to an opposition in a more broad sense to increased militarism and a defence of democratic rights.

The Rector’s Installation

By David Gardiner

The letters page is your chance to get your opinion accross. Send your letters to themagdalen@dusa.co.uk

Dear Editor, in response to Stephanie Harvey’s letter in the October issue, I’m afraid I must present the contrary opinion that the 26th of September was by any means a proud day for anyone here whether in support of our Rector or simply the wider university. Firstly, I shall make a disclaimer that I have had an essentially open mind towards Craig Murray. In his defence, he does present himself as having a genuine interest in this university and its students, and I feel those who have criticised him for using his position for some manner of grandstanding are being overly simplistic.

So, to my criticisms. The Installation was barely publicised and as a result scantly attended. Save for the officials of the Students’ Association and the Blues involved in the drag itself, i.e. those who were obligated by position to be present, I barely noticed any Dundee students at all in the hall that day. Non-aligned Dundee undergraduates were almost undoubtedly outnumbered by the attendees from other universities such as the representatives sent from Glasgow and St Andrews. An embarrassing result, I feel, to have a speech addressed to a group of 18,000 - only a handful of whom were there to receive it.

This seems to me to be part of a wider “chipping away” of this university’s traditions, which originated from the rather contemptible version of modernism popular in the 70s. This was, for example, the first time I had seen a Dundee University undergraduate gown - whilst forty years ago, the students here created a scarlet line up the side of the Law to celebrate our independence that could be seen from Fife. For the record, I am not suggesting we adopt the rather daft position of our neighbours down the coast in St Andrews where it seems that anything slightly obscure occurring twice is quickly hailed as a tradition. However, I would like to see a reasonable compromise, and not simply for the ends of satisfying my own traditionalism.

Student celebrations and events are a fertile ground for student participation and the building of a wider university community which I often feel we lack here at Dundee. Unfortunately, such

developments have never happened spontaneously and I lay the responsibility for the present position both at the university and our elected representatives in DUSA. A Rector’s Installation is not a tiresome, dreary event - it should be a show of colour and institutional pride, conjoined with a grand-scale piss up, a good deal of humour and an opportunity to heckle someone vaguely notable. Craig Murray is certainly no Stephen Fry when it comes to delivering addresses (one I strongly recommend everyone to track down in the university archives and read) but it certainly cannot be claimed that his installation was boring. Indeed, it was verging on a train wreck at some points. It is not a common experience that one gets the opportunity to look at the Vice Chancellor of a fine university so visibly clenching his buttocks in embarrassment; personally I would have turned up for the soap opera elements alone.

An email the day before for the installation, and nothing mentioned of the drag, was inadequate. A copy of the Magdalen which dismissed this once-in-a-degree university event from its front page, in favour of a recycled photograph and mention of a band inside that nobody had heard of, seemed to admit this inadequacy. A speech to the students should have been heard by the students: heckles, cringes and all.

I notice the Rector complained of being ‘sidelined’ at the summer visit by Her Majesty the Queen - well, Craig, you can take comfort in the fact that you are not the only one. Whilst I understand that the officials of the university have good reason to be embarrassed by Mr Murray - he has stated as much as being his intention at some points - it does not have the same good reason to exclude its ordinary students. I rather hoped we were seen as more than an inconvenience.

Note from Editor: Valid comments regarding the coverage of Craig Murray’s Installation in the last issue. We are striving to create a Magdalen which covers all sectors of the student body and so we take these comments on board. We will work to expand our content and images for the front cover. Thank you.

Kate Moss’ Winter Collection: The Moss is Back

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes!

Spooky & Sexy

by Laila Issa

by Palak Bhatt

by Kirsty Millar

After the expected success of her spring and summer collections, Kate Moss and her much anticipated Topshop autumn/winter collection has finally arrived to add a touch of razzle-dazzle to the world of the high street. Her style makes sure it stays updated on the high fashion and adapts it for the high street in time for the dark and cold days ahead! Staying true to her Indie roots, Moss’ collection retains her eclectic, edgy style that combines her characteristic take on vintage style tea dresses, rock chic pieces and hippy, bohemian patterns. The main focus of the line, however, is the collection’s smart tailoring, fitted knits, suits and evening wear with a classic, androgynous and sexy feel.

The search for the quintessential combination to our outfits, whether casual or formal, is never easy and it always ends in the knowledge that we can never have enough (which we already knew anyway). Every season we find something that we just have to have and in this case we are always underpaid or there is never enough student loan to go around.

Halloween’s over but that doesn’t mean you have to get rid of the dark make-up just yet, with the gothic look still being huge on the catwalks this season. Bring it up-to-date using some of this season’s hottest colours using purple, navy or grey eye shadow instead of traditional black.

Lancôme have a huge selection of shimmering shadows to choose from, with their duo’s offering a wide range of complimentary colours.

Check out the Body Shop’s A/W shimmer cube with its gorgeous smoky colours for winter.

The autumn/winter line is better than the spring collection, in that there is a lot more choice.

Consisting of more than 50 unique items, the line actually seems to reflect the supermodel’s style. My favourite pieces have to be the amazing shape of the asymmetric leather jacket, made with soft black leather, and zip fastening with no collar, and the chiffon black blouse, with the adorable ties around the collar, waist, and wrists. My definite favourite amongst the set is the Swarovski inspired Fashion Rocks beaded dress as it adds a unique touch of glamour for the great night out. With its appreciation of the mini-dress combined with the glitz of the flapper dress this addition is the perfect blend of the thirties and the sixties while still retaining the staple Moss style. The designer clothing by Kate Moss is certainly set to be the way forward for all high street fashionistas as the collection is updated weekly.

Student Night at Topshop

by Laila Issa As I joined the seemingly endless queue of frenzied girls after typical shopping hours I knew it could only mean one thing: 20% off at Topshop. The night dedicated to students came fully equipped with the two magic words to any student’s ear – free booze. If that wasn’t enough to tempt, there was even a goodie bag provided containing chocolate, a bottle of water and a pair of indigo mittens.

After initially hearing word of the event I began pre-selecting items I knew I didn’t strictly “need” but, with an added 10% knocked off, seemed irresistible. So as the doors opened promptly at 7pm I was taking no prisoners. As I dashed from shelf to shelf frantically picking up items I soon became aware of the hole burning in my pocket, though comforted myself by thinking “How often is there 20% off?” The night seemed a success however, proved through the hour plus queue I had to wait in just to buy my clothes.

Needless to say I’ve been avoiding Topshop like the plague ever since – afraid of spending anymore cash!

This autumn/winter collection, I’m afraid, will be no different as the shoe collection, ranging from Zara to Office to Schuh is incredibly thrilling.

It brings back the ankle boot, introduces the curve heel, and reinforces our confidence in the ultra cool and androgynous brogue. This is not to say that the style has stayed the same, but instead, has evolved into a bigger, better and sexier animal. The ankle boot’s return is a much welcome relief to the devout of the skinny jean and an ideal way of enhancing any casual outfit. Therefore, bearing in mind that winter in Dundee tends to get a little bit on the windy and rainy side, buying the ankle boot is the great investment. There are wonderful examples in Office and Faith, which offer people an affordable and stylish way of staying up-to-date with high fashion. Look out for strappy, leather ankle boots, similar to the Emporio Armani’s collection, which can be found in Office for a reasonable price.

As Blahnik once stated, “You put high heels on and you change” and this seems to be the perfect description of the pointy, often painful contraptions that goes on our feet. We become confident, look well-poised, our self-esteem rockets and of course, we get taller. Now, the curve heel is a little something that will take a getting use to as this new style arrives straight from the catwalk and can be found in Zara in a variety of colours. The form of the shoes is an amazing curved and sculpted shape and is found best in textured and coloured finish.

Brogues have to be my favourite style of shoe at this moment bringing such an extravagance to the high street which is impossible to resist.

They match perfectly with tailored outfits and add the finishing touch to a well-groomed look.

Available in most shops ranging from New Look, Office to Schuh with prices ranging from £20 to £90, depending on your budget. With all these new varieties of shoes now within our grasp, we are left with so much choice. We cannot but buy all of them…right?

For the less adventurous, keep it girlie, add a touch of pink here and there and focus on lips or eyes, leaving the rest of the face neutral. The aim is to keep it pretty – you don’t want to end up looking like a pasty-faced teen goth. Keep it subtle by teaming a pink eye shadow with dark spidery lashes. Layer on a lengthening mascara such as Rimmel Lash Maxxx or Revlon 3D to add maximum volume or if you are feeling really adventurous add a few false lashes before coating in mascara. Line the inner rims with kohl to give sexy smouldering eyes. Keep lips neutral or add just a tint of pink with light pink blusher to keep from looking too scary!

For the braver wannabe ‘pretty goths’, line eyes with black kohl, then trace over the line with grey or purple shadow and follow round the socket line. Blend well to give a smouldering evening look.

The trend is followed down to the nails where basically anything dark will do. Revlon have just released a new range of colours offering an alternative to traditional black. These include navy, purple and deep red. Grey nails are also the hottest colour this season, with Barry M and Collection 2000 offering several different shades depending on how much of a statement you want to make!

The HALLOWEEN

Party

A spot on the local STV news bulletin kick started the Annual Halloween Fancy Dress Party with a 100 free ticket give-away. Doors opened at 6pm which meant the ghoulish extravaganza lasted for a staggering eight and half hours! With a total prize fund of £525 up for grabs to the best costumes, cult characters from Star Wars and the Smurfs soon appeared. With over 3000 students in attendance, the event was hailed as the largest Halloween party in Scotland.

Halloween is a hallowed time for night bus riders; it’s also extremely funny, and occasionally somewhat wild. (Nothing unusual about that on the night bus). Costumes always start the night looking crisp, fresh and pristine. Later however the Fairy’s wings begin to droop, the various headdresses go askew, and sandaled roman soldiers trip and tumble towards the night bus, inevitably leaving their short swords on the bus to swell the lost properties collection of strange Halloween items.

As you might guess, the best costumes are the ‘home made’ variety, always original and although I may suffer a few brickbats for this line, usually fabricated by art students. Some of the funniest sights seen in recent times are produced by males dressed as females; they just walk the walk never mind talk the talk. Men

just cannot manage the coordination required to enable a graceful entry/exit from the night bus wearing a skirt and high heels, the resulting tumble also shows that they don’t know how to fall like a lady as they sprawl legs akimbo to the ground.

Other costumes of note were a long skinny medic an the night bus, a group of dentists as the last train to Clarkesville, and an Egyptian mummy painted with a white water based paint queuing in the pouring ran. I’m not going to tell you about a group of lewd, rude and unmentionable others. One year I picked up a group of students at West Park and as I drove through the gates another person who was waiting outside waved, I stopped, and he got into the front passenger seat. His costume was

dull intone but otherwise quite stunning. It was a greyinsh nineteenth century jacket, waistcoat and trousers with gold watch and chain. When rudely asked what he was meant to be he said “I’m a Mill manager,” every one laughed. And he had laughed along with everyone else. Later that night when the wet and bedraggled were returning he boarded the bus at the union and sat at the back. Everyone on board had left by Blackness Avenue, and I headed for West Park.

About 75 metres from West Park I heard a rather urgent voice asking me to stop. I immediately thought oh no this sounds like a vomit incident, however a voice said “thank you” and I waited, but the door didn’t open, and as I looked round I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck begin to rise. There was no one there. See you on the bus.

30 Days of nights

Stardust

Age certification (15)

Age certification (PG)

Barrow, a small town in the most northern part of Alaska, is subject to some of the darkest winters in the world. The sun doesn’t rise for thirty days at the height of the winter period, and this makes the town perfect pickings for a band of bloodcrazed vampires who descend to feast on the town’s unsuspecting inhabitants. If you think the plot sounds basic, think again!

This roller-coaster of gore, suspense and isolation is a must for anyone who enjoys a good fright.

With leading man Josh Hartnett putting in a stellar performance and a group of frankly terrifying blood-suckers who look almost too real, this all out shock-fest is an unexpected (albeit slightly bloody) breath of fresh air in a genre usually full of cliché and terrible acting.

Well worth a watch.

Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Clare Danes head up a star-studded cast in this witty, charming, but altogether rather dull “fairytale” of randomness. The plot, revolving around a boy who ventures across “the wall” between the real world and a strange fantasy kingdom to find a fallen star, appears thrown together with too many sub-plots and too much content resulting in nowhere near enough action. The over-the top characters that end up being more cringeworthy than entertaining are a real turn off, with De Niro seeming like he’s on the set of a different film. Nothing fits. Michelle Pfeiffer (along with some hilarious one liners) is this film’s only rung in the ladder out of the bargain bin and honestly the only thing that makes it watch able. For a concept that has so much potential its execution is sloppy and will disappoint even the most seasoned fantasy fan.

strong performances and Scarlett Johansson’s cockney accent is surprisingly quite good! With plenty of twists and turns in the plot and Michael Caine and David Bowie in supporting roles, The Prestige is a worthy addition to any DVD collection.

The Rise

Love Music > Dundee music reviews Vincent Vincent and the Villains On My Own

It’s hard not to tap your feet, click your fingers or break out into a full-blown rock n’ roll dance when you first hear “On My Own.” With its infectious bass hooks and its positively addictive chorus, it’s a song that you won’t be able to get out your head for days. Play it loud and get into the groove, because Vincent Vincent and his band are going to be around for quite a while.

Rating

Cat The Dog

Gotta Leave Now This song changes its direction more than Hibs changes its players, and its often hard to remember how the song actually began.

Cat The Dog (yes, it’s confusing) are a hybrid of all things rock and indie pulling in heavy riffs and meaningless lyrics alongside more upbeat guitar chords. For fans of Sonic Youth and perhaps even Audioslave at times, “Gotta Leave Now” would appeal to those with an eclectic music taste.

Luva Anna

> Dundee music scene

by Natalie Coupar

Dundee; the city of jute, jam and journalism.

Oh, and the View. Over the past few years Dundee has truly raised the bar for music in Scotland. The View have successfully conquered the album and single charts in the last year alone and record companies are fighting to sign the next “big thing.”

You really couldn’t have chosen a better time to become a student. What’s going on in Dundee is much more than a fad, it’s somewhat of a musical revolution for Scotland. No longer do we have to be remembered solely for the Proclaimers, we can be remembered for other pioneering acts such as Luva Anna, the Law and Sergeant. It’s too easy to ignore these bands and dub them all as “generic” as I’m sure many have. Just because you’re not the Views biggest fan, doesn’t mean you won’t love any of the other 50 bands that are playing all over Dundee. Luckily, you don’t even have to leave the comfort of the Union, with the opportunity for local bands to play on Floor 5 growing steadily.

Luva Anna are a prime example of a brilliant Dundonian band. They have a massive fan base which is only going to grow with the release of their new E.P. When they played at the Union, they blew everyone away, shattering anyone’s hopes of seeing the new “View.” They are something unlike anything you’ve ever heard before, playing punky-folky-indie music that can appeal to everyone.

Then there’s the Law, a band who’ve already been on tour with the View and played major venues all over the U.K. Every song is an anthem made of pure gold, so you’ll never leave a gig feeling like you

didn’t get your money’s worth.

With networking sites being the most accessible way to reach fans, it can sometimes feel like you’re just another drone. However, when you go see the Law, you feel like they are sincerely chuffed that you’re there.

Having been reviewed already by popular music magazines, Sergeant are going to be bloody massive. Over the summer they played major music festivals and have been constistently playing all over Scotland. Nick Mercer’s on-stage jiving is a reason alone to go see them. Combine that with their irresistible songs: it’s a winner! These are only three of the bands that play regularly in Dundee and I reckon you’d be surprised by how long the list stretches. It is not generic and there isn’t any bandwagon, all there is, is ruddy good music and memories of some of the best gigs you will ever go to. So on a Tuesday night, get your ass to the Union and watch some of the best new bands in the UK. Hollyoaks is rubbish now Mr C isn’t in it, Tuesday night telly is crap and you’re flatmates will feel the same. Dinnae be a dafty, make sure you’re there. Make sure you see - The Carellos, The Brogues, The Rise, Rush Hour Soul, Luva Anna, Sergeant, Big Big Sound, Page 6, Apple Scruffs, The Leatherettes, Grace Emilys, Dave?, The Getdowns, Descartes, The Trend, The Naturals, The Law, Indianapolis….

Left -The Cover of Jeff Buckley’s ‘Grace’

> Albums the world should own

An Undying Classic Jeff Buckley – Grace Every month “The Magdalen” will place its spotlight on a classic album that has made an impact on both the music industry and (more importantly) student culture. This month we discuss Jeff Buckley’s undisputed masterpiece, Grace.

Recorded and released in 1994, Grace’s magical collection of eclectic beauty enjoyed an explosion of critical acclaim, giving the tragic singer instant recognition from artists such as David Bowie and Jimmy Page.

With its timeless melodies, atmospheric string arrangements and Buckley’s ethereal and highly emotive falsetto vocals, there is no wonder the album is heralded as a classic.

It lifts it’s listeners to musical heaven, displaying a beauty rare in music both a the time and beyond, with songs such as “Mojo Pin” and the title track contrasting sublime musical composition with an almost dark vocal delivery. Other tracks including “So Real” and “Eternal Life” rock a bit harder and provide an excellent accompaniment to the soft beauty of the rest of the album while exploding in an array of guitar and blind emotion.

The album also contains 3 cover tracks, the most famous of these being Buckley’s reworking of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah”, which is widely regarded as the best version of the song ever recorded.

Having inspired everyone from Radiohead to George Michael, this album will appeal to the hardest rocking of characters right down to your great-grandparents.

This is a must have in any CD collection and is almost divine in its artistic beauty.

Buy it, buy it now!!

Q. Song of the moment?

A. Kenny Rogers – The Gambler

> Myspacez of the month Journey Box

myspace.com/journeybox With over 66,900 Myspace profile views and thousands of fans, its obvious why this talented duo from Glasgow is so popular when you hear their music, in particular their tracks ‘Someday Soon’ and ‘Illusions’. With their inspiring lyrics and powerful acoustic sound, together with a set of stunning vocals, it’s hard to believe Journey Box are still unsigned. Fans of Damien Rice and Nick Drake should definitely check them out.

Yellow Bentines

myspace.com/yellowbentines This four-piece Glaswegian band has had over 175,000 Myspace hits and with five other additional live members they are certainly an energetic bunch. Their piano/trumpet based sound together with their fun-filled lyrics make them a great listen, (check out the catchy track ‘Up and Down’ in particular). Having supported many bands including Arctic Monkeys and the Editors, it would be no surprise if Yellow Bentines made it big on the music scene.

Gorillaz D-Sides (album)

The Dirty Why, I Think Its Love (single)

Another B-sides and rarities collection from cartoon super-group Gorillaz, consisting of some demos from the Demon Dayz sessions and remixes from a few of the biggest names in the business (Soulwax and Hot Chip among others). Stand out tracks include “Rockit”, a demo featuring vocals akin to Hadouken! and a re-working of “Hong Kong” in an almost orchestral and frankly quite beautiful style. It is clear that new material is a long way off, but this gem will keep fans feeling the groove with typical sing/chant along choruses and beats that could only be cooler if buried under 100ft of arctic ice. Nice.

Four-piece rock band The Dirty reek of

attitude, ambition and unconditional belief in their music, while the tune itself just plain old stinks. Although heir punchy, old school vibe is catchy while still retaining artistic integrity and a sense of raw power these guys sound EXACTLY like their recent tour partners Iggy and the Stooges.

Although unoriginal “retro” sounds are popular right now, this will not work in the mainstream market. Outdated, boring and frankly disappointing, The Dirty have the potential do so much better.

Make Model ‘The Was’ (Single)

This indie/folk-rock band is made up of six Glaswegians who clearly have the creative streak in their genes. Described as being one of the most exciting bands in the UK at the moment, just listen to Make Model’s latest track ‘The Was’ and you’ll soon find out why. Their wild sound is made up from guitars, drums and catchy trumpet melodies... and when was the last time you heard a xylophone in a (decent) Indie track? This track sounds like it has it all.

Their clever lyrics and catchy tunes will have you tapping away your foot and eager to hear more. Move over Franz Ferdinand, Glasgow’s produced a new band ready to steal the limelight.

BoyKillBoy ‘No Conversation’ (Single)

Sigur Rós Hljómalind / Starálful (single)

Ben’s Brother ‘Carry On’ (Single)

The Essex boys return with their new single ‘No Conversation’ released November 5.

Tipped as one of Zane Lowe’s most recent ‘Hottest Records In the World’, you’d expect a pretty damn good tune, right?

For the first few listens, with its energetic guitar pop, synth-rock sound and their melodic, innocent vocals it appears to be a good sounding Indie-pop track; yet with the masses of Indie bands hogging the music scene at the moment does this track really stand out? After a couple more listens the track actually begins to sound a bit repetitive (not because I’ve got it on repeat) but because of the chorus’ clichéd and repetitive lyrics. Fair enough the rest of the song does sound pretty catchy and people will jump around to it, but the disappointing chorus lets it down big-time.

Shame.

The limited edition double A-Side single from Icelandic avant-garde rockers Sigur Rós features a preview of their upcoming release full of rare tracks, some new material and acoustic workings of classic songs. Known for their strange sounds and unconventional music, the band has gone a much more traditional route with the new song “Hljómalind”. Its clear structure and catchy chorus resemble a calming breeze after a storm of confusing inconsistency from previous efforts. It really is an epic and moving track while still being highly accessible. “Starálful”, a live version of a classic track, will cause any new listeners to fall in love with these emotive soundscapes instantly and is a perfect advertisement for the band’s live performances. A must have.

This five piece band from the UK will be a sure hit with fans of Turin Brakes and Stereophonics, with their acoustic-pop sound. Their latest single ‘Carry On’ is an uplifting and catchy tune, yet based on the rest of the tracks from their debut album ‘Beta Male Fairytales’, it isn’t nearly the best track. Lacking the passion and originality of their previous hits including their everpopular ‘Let Me Out’, their new single just doesn’t compare. It sounds like so many other songs and lacks originality. But don’t get me wrong, Ben’s Brother are a very decent band and the track isn’t difficult to listen to, but the reasons are obvious why ‘Carry On’ isn’t the opening track to their debut album.

Comedy

> Music Reviews Rob Deering Charmageddon

Air Bar 5th November Rob’s appearance at the Union marked the first date of his UK wide tour, “Charmageddon” and was very much anticipated by all comedy fans.

The start of Rob’s performance was nothing to be desired, with a very slow beginning.

I think this slow beginning, and the audience’s lack of participation was mostly due to the fact there was no support act - and these are normally quite effective in getting the audience warmed up for the main act. A support act may be something that Rob might think about for later dates in his tour!

Eventually when the crowd did get going, Rob was able to get underway with the proper act! One thing that was noticable in Rob’s performance was his great use of the audience, allowing them to participate in all of his very quick and witty humour.

Rob then moved on to his musical comedy routine, which was absolute genius. His mixture of stunning guitar work, and comedy lyrics were outstanding - and definately unique! His musical renditions included Michael Jackson, James Brown, Foo Fighters and Aerosmith. What made Mr Deering’s performance even more unique was the use of his looping machine to create a brilliant performance of “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” which sent the audience into fits of laughter, and eventually a round of applause. The first half ended with a sing-song, The Final Countdown by Europe! Excellent guitar work and brilliant participation by the audience - could there be another career for Deering?

The start of the second half was definately an improvement to the first, and this half

was definately something to be looked forward to. Again his use of the audience was brilliant and there was yet again more music to be enjoyed in this half. The looping machine was again used to create “Good Vibrations” by The Beach Boys, and this was absolutely amazing. There is something about Rob’s act that makes the musical section extremely funny, however I could never put a finger exactly on why.

It could have been his brilliant guitar skills, added in with his comedy - or the extremely effective impressionist vocals.

His big finale was near, and he invited a member of the audience to help him play the solo of “Freebird” by Lynrd Sknrd, although playing it on a blown up guitar certainly helped! Rob then preceded to throw out a number of blown-up guitars, and invited all the holders of one on the the extremely small stage! The finale of this act was the best I have ever seen, and Rob’s interaction with the crowd was so good, other comedians should follow suit!

If I could have given this performance more than 5/5 I would have, because it was simply awesome.

“Charmageddon” is definitely the best comedy show of the year - EASILY.

Sport Glasgow Wins 2014 Commonwealth Games.

Glasgow has been announced as the winning bid for the 2014 Commonwealth games at a conference in Sri Lanka.

Glasgow bid chair Louise Martin led the delegation including First Minister Alex Salmond, Glasgow City leader Steven Purcell and athlete Jamie Quarry.

The plans for the Glasgow Commonwealth games include the use of Glasgow’s already impressive sports facilities, as well as a host of new venues for the City. Plans include the new National Entertainments Arena on the site of the SECC, The Glasgow 2014 Hockey Centre, The National Indoor Sports Arena, the National Velodrome and of course the Athletes Village.

All over Glasgow and much of Scotland, people waited with baited breath to hear the result of the ballot from Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennel.

The celebration erupted in the Old Fruit Market where thousands had gathered to watch. Alex Salmond, said: “We will make these Games the greatest sporting event our country has ever seen. They will be our chance to show the whole world the very best of Scotland.”

Becoming a Referee

Loyalty Cards

“All grades of affiliated football in Scotland require referees. Love us or hate us, without referees football just would not exist”.

If you have ever considered refereeing do it now!

Since the launch of the Sports Union Loyalty Cards, the inevitable has happened and it has become a competition! The leaderboard in Liar Bar is constantly changing as clubs fight it out to get their hands on the biggest slice of the Loyalty Fund set up by DUSA. The Loyalty cards can be used at the bars and at catering

I have been refereeing for a year now, and although I started off slowly, my progress has seen me recently officiate in the SPL Under 19’s League. Refereeing is a great way to keep fit, and I’ve noticed in Dundee that anyone who wants to referee is likely to get games every week due to the shortage of referees!

Becoming a Referee is easy, and I’m sure in the near future, the Referee’s association in Dundee will be holding classes for anyone interested in refereeing to get involved and do their bit for football.

Whether you want to be refereeing in Under 15’s, SPL Reserves, the UEFA Cup, or even the World Cup, the SFA have opportunities for you!

Becoming an SFA Referee has meant a lot to me, I’ve been able to officiate in School’s Games, Coca Cola Seven’s National Tournaments, Local Sunday League Football, SFA Professional Teams Under 15’s 16’s and 17’s as well as Under 19’s.

Scottish Football is at it’s best period now, so don’t let it fail. Become a referee and help Scotland out in the best possible way – because look at it this way – without people like me, Football wouldn’t exist!
