The University Times has learned that this year’s Dublin University Snow Sports Club trip to Les Arcs in France resulted in damage to accommodation described by the club as “leagues beyond anything caused by any other university.”Following a number of high-profile incidents on the 2011 trip, it was understood that the 2012 visit to the same resort had passed without major incident after a concerted effort by the club committee to discourage reckless behaviour. However, in an email sent to all participants on the 2012 trip, the club told that the damage caused to the group’s accommodation was “considerably worse than last year”.

Taken about an hour ago at the famine figures next to the IFSC. The people are students (USI take a bow) dressed up as professionals (doctors, lawyers, etc.) to highlight the ‘brain drain’ which is harming the Irish economy.

It is, is it not, the photographic equivalent of being lectured to by a first year arts student in The Stag’s Head? Still, the famine did have a resonance with our youth in that some days, and I’m not ashamed to admit it, we survived on little more than grass. Ker-tish.
