Phallus fine

A student has been fined the sum of £80 after building a 4ft phallus out of snow. The snow phallus was built by John Knowles, a history student at the Anglia Ruskin University of Cambridge. An officer issued the fine due to the possible public offence of an "intricate creation in a prominent position".

Journalist forced into hiding

A 19 year old student journalist has been forced into a secure hideout whilst infamous satirical cartoons in "The Crucification" have caused havoc and the death of four people. The student, who cannot be named, is under investigation by the Clare College, Cambridge, after the publication of the renowned cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed in a Danish newspaper.

Henson confronts student

Last week after sneaking into Cardiff University, Gavin Henson made a surprise appearance at the Taf, the Student Union bar, only to confront a student who had been taking pictures of him. This was followed by one of Gavin's companions following the student into the toilets and then snatching the phone to delete the photos that had been taken.
