Poem: Coming Home

by Libby Rhodes Did you shoot anyone, you know like they do in the movies? Did you see any animals? Did you make any new friends? Did you arrest anyone, you know put them in handcuffs? Was it amazing , did you take any photos? Did you bring anything back for me? Did you? Did you? Did you? Yes. I did. I had to shoot hundreds of men, women too if they had guns, It was them or me, that's war, you wouldn't understand. They were all fathers, mothers, wives, brothers, who deserved their lives just as much as our family does. Animals? They were were animals. Everyone one of them. The friends I made were shot. Dead. Lifeless. Still. No, I didn't need to arrest anyone. Who needs to handcuff someone when they're already gone? When you're older, as for me, they're permanently carved into my mind. There were no souvenirs, I only brought back myself. I was blessed with my life. As I saw many a man fall to the ground wounded or dead. Crying. Screaming for their mothers. A...

Does what we wear affect how we think?

by Bea Wilkinson Most of us are aware that the way in which we dress affects how others perceive us, but new research suggests that our clothing also has an effect on our own thoughts and abilities. Used without rights, source: http://www.cartoonstock.com/newscartoons/ cartoonists/tmc/lowres/tmcn1408l.jpg A recent study by Hajo Adam and Adam Galinsky tested this theory. 58 students took part in the well known Stroop Test (a test where the participant is asked to read out a list of colours, but the ink colour of the word must be named, not the written colour – e.g. the word red may be written in blue ink, and participants have to read the correct word without allowing themselves to be confused by the print colour.) 29 participants took the test wearing normal clothes, and 29 participants wore white lab coats to complete the test. The participants wearing lab coats did markedly better than the participants wearing their own clothes, making 50% less errors in the Stroop Test. N...

Why Communist Dictators Should Not Be Praised

by Jack Ross There is a trend at present to praise communist dictators for their ‘excellence’, and the supposed applicability of their ideas to contemporary global problems. I have also noticed that a poster has been put up on the corridor next to the Economics department, which appears to be idolising several of these dictators (see left ). However, I believe that this praise is misguided, as often people idolise these communist leaders, without knowing the full story. Many of these dictators committed atrocities just as bad and sometimes even worse than those of the Nazis, yet they are considered heroes by a large number of people, most notably the far-left. So the aim of this article is to inform you why we should be wary of giving credit to these alleged Marxist heroes, when in fact they should be viewed with disdain. One idolised communist hero is Joseph Djugashvilli, or, as he is more commonly known, Joseph Stalin - ‘man of steel’. Stalin first gained notoriet...
