the
University spy said Newcastle
has a lot of "posh" young men
who; "wear rugby shirts with
their collars turned up, drive
something new and
nippy and live in the
smartest hall."
But
another
upper-class undergraduate
agreed with the article and
said: "There are a lot of public
school people here and we do
tend to stick together.
Couples get together because
they're kindred spirits"
Gentle
The source in the paper
claimed: "They study history
of art, som ething gentle,
because they won't have to
get a job".
History of Art lecturer,
Professor
John
Milner
disagreed with this and said:
"The course is both difficult
and rewarding. Students are
always complaining that they
have too much work to do."

Unis come out in modules
By ALEX NORTON
MODULARISATION: AN education chief has
admitted modularisation is resented by many
university staff.
Nearly all universities and colleges have been
affected by the changing academic environment.
Higher Education Quality Council assistant
director Norman Jackson has edited a new
collection of papers on "going modular".
One reported: "Staff reported that the decision
to modularise had been unilaterally imposed.
"And they complained that opportunities to
discuss and debate how to implement
modularisation had been insufficient, under­
resourced and futile."
But the changes have been defended as a key
stage in the modernisation of higher education.
Jackson added: "Modularity can be seen as a
vehicle for change from the old, elitist system to
the new, mass higher education system."
Football: Students give thumbs down to super stadium

In a letter chairman Sir John

Moor.
Over 100 hundred students
crammed in the debating
chamber to discuss the motion.
The meeting was called in
response to the rumoured

seater super stadium by the
football club on the Moor.
St. James' Park is currently
too small to accommodate all

By SIOBHAN ALMOND
AN Oxford fresher has been found
dead in her bed, just weeks into the
new term.
Police are now investigating the
death, which they do not regard as
suspicious. They added that there was
no indication of any drug use.
Police inspector Simon Pont said:
"This is a young girl who went to bed
and died. It is horrible".
Drugs haul lecturer jailed
Alarm
Friends of Rachel Steer, a Classics
student at St Hilda's College, raised the
alarm when she d id n't turn up to
lectures. College officials broke into the
room to find the eighteen year-old dead.
The Dean of the college, Dr Jane
Taylor was shocked by the death of the
teenager: "We have no idea of the cause
of the death. She was a most promising
student and perfectly cheerful".
Work
Her tutors had been impressed with
the way she was dealing with her work
and was said to be settling in well.
Doctors were baffled by the death
which could be linked with cot death
syndrome when the heart simply stops
for no reason.
Disgraced: Banks
By ERICA DAVIES
COCAINE with a street value
of over £80,000 was discovered
in the home of a university
scientist.
Dr M alcolm Banks was
sentenced to 10 years at
Edinburgh Crown Court after
he pleaded guilty to refining
more than half a kilo of
freebase cocaine.
Police put Banks home
under surveillance after a known
drug user, Robert Williams, was
seen leaving the house.
Banks was stopped by
traffic police who discovered
363kg of freebase cocaine from
his car - Scotland's largest ever
seizure of the drug.
An Edinburgh university
spokesperson stressed that the
offence was in no way linked
with Dr Banks' work or the
department in which he was
based.

WHAT DOES IT DO FOR YOU? - PORNOGRAPHY
that is. Let's face it, whether you've heard of it, read it,
watched it or dare I say participated in it, not many of us
pass through our adolescent years without encountering
pornography in some shape or form. To be fair to the
lads, the 'rude bits' of the human anatomy quite literally
pop up everywhere these days...
However, pornography is certainly not a new
phenomenon. THe word pornography is derived from
the Greek word 'pomi' meaning prostitute, and
'graphaein' meaning to write, and was originally defined
as any work of art or literature depicting the life of a
prostitute.
The first clear historic evidence of pornography in
the western culture is to be found in erotic songs
performed at festivals in honour of the Greek god,
Dionysus. The Romans also caught on to the idea of
representing erotic behaviour. Graphic erotic paintings
in Pompeii dating from the first century A.D. have
been found covering walls sacred to bacchanalian
orgies. However, Ovid the Roman poet, is one of the
first to have produced written pornography. His work,
T he Art of Love', is a rather cheeky if not ironic
treatise on the art of seduction, intrigue and sensual
arousal.
In the Middle Ages pornography took on a whole
new meaning and was generally held in low repute,
finding expression in riddles, bawdy jokes and satirical
humour. Leaping on a few hundred years or so, the
invention of printing in the fifteenth century led to a
rebirth of ambitious new pom, so that works appeared
to be totally devoid of literary value and were designed
solely to arouse sexual excitement. A classic of this
period (apparently) is John Cleland's 'Fanny Hill: The
Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure'. The sexual
connotations are all too obvious...
Graphic exotic art also blossomed in this period,
but it wasn't until the development of photography,
and later of motion pictures in the late Victorian age,
"Soft porn is so much a part of
our lives that many of us indulge
in the viewing of it without
realising"

of photography, and later of
motion pictures in the late

takes over the toon for two and a half weeks. This will be the fourth

next week exclusively by The Courier) warms up the two and a half
week set, followed by the likes of Jenny Eclair, Lee Hurst, Greg
Proops, Harry Hill, Mark Thomas, Scott Capurro, Boothby Graffoe
and Eddie Izzard. Some of television's darlings will be apppearing
in the flesh. Lee and Herring bring their 'Fist of Fun' to the North,
Tather Ted"s 'Father Dougal Maguire' alias Ardal O'Hanlon takes
a trip across the brine and Rhona Cameron presenter of BBC 2's
'Gay Time TV' nips down from bonnie Scotland.
It's taller than Spender, wider than the Tyne, bigger than John
Hall and looks set to be a laugh a minute. For Comedy Festival news,

Hill and Izzard: Comic madmen
More than a lust for life
BLOOD WEDDING
Newcastle Playhouse
A WORLD premiere came to Newcastle
last week, Brendan Kennelly's new version
of Lorca's 'Bodas de Sangre'. Ironically
Hispanic and Celtic cultures are brought
together to portray the passions of lust and
violence. It seems an unlikely mix Riverdance meets Carmen, Simple Minds
singing Macarena, but it actually works.
Whether it be Irish dancing to the beat of
authentic Spanish clapping and stamping,
or flamenco to the sound of Maureen Jelk's
beautiful Celtic voice, it is imaginatively
choreographed and brilliantly executed.
We've all been there, we've all fallen in
love, been crossed and used someone else to
get over the heartache, that's why the play is
so timeless, but never did our small dreams
have such tragic consequences. A girl marries
to save herself from the sin of loving
another's husband, she sees him as 'a little bit
of water to put out the fire' but when the
bride eventually
succumbs to her mad,
animal passion, she
ditches her new
husband and takes
flight through the
RADICAL
C O M ED Y QUESTIONNAIRES
Name:
SCOTT CAPURRO
How would you describe yourself?
I'm homoneurotic, completely self-obsessed and self-deprecating. In
other words, I cruise cute guys, but I don't think I deserve them.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
My family, they're much funnier than I am and they'll be the first
to tell you that.
Who would you nominate as an all time comedy God?
Richard Nixon. I mean, my God, he gave us Gerald Ford!
What is your favourite sexual perversion?
Australian TV programs. I'm really addicted to 'Home and Away',
will sperm damage my TV screen?
What do you think of students?
I LOVE STUDENTS! I really wanted to be a teacher, so I could
wear tweed and smoke pipes and seduce 19 year olds in study hall.
If you were to start a new political party, what would
you call it?
Queers against chaps!
Name:
MARK THOMAS
How would you describe yourself?
Excellent veggie cook, funny, overweight, occasional cyclist, cunt.
Who or what are your biggest influences?
Crass, Bertholt Brecht, Elvis.
Who would you nominate as an all time comedy God?
Alexei Sayle and Dave Allen.
What is your favourite sexual perversion?
The work ethic
What do you think of students?
I think there should be more students and education should be free.
If you were to start a new political party, what would
you call it?
Kill Mother Theresa With Boiling Chip Fat (provisional wing)
Name
MILTON JONES
How would you describe yourself?
Milton Jones
Who or what are your biggest influences?
Tea, coffee, cocoa
Who would you nominate as an all time comedy God?
Budda
What is your favourite sexual perversion?
celibacy
What do you think of students?
They are the perpetual students of tomorrow
If you were to start a new political party, what would
you call it?
Nearly new labour
trees with her lover, but the moon is hungry
for the warmth of blood and comes out from
the clouds to expose their crime.
This new version is linguistically
faithful to the original and metaphorically
also, in the difficult roles of Moon and
Death whose love affair reflects and
universalises the passion of the two lovers.
You don't need a degree in Spanish to
appreciate the energy and instinctiveness of
this daring bilingual play, but you probably
need a good imagination when it comes to
a baldheaded man in a white gypsy dress.
Sounds bizarre? Blame it on Lorca.

Orlando, having survived public
incredulity at the return of the New
Romantic, charmed the crowd with a
modem hibrid of eighties synth, drawing
on Almond, Bowie and Duran Duran. But
this is no second rate tribute band.
Pushing forward with a zestful
interpretation of a forgotten style, they fill
a gap I never knew existed- and as with
pudding, there's always room for more.
Kenickie kick ass in their
unremitting rise to the dizzy heights of

AS THE Union entertainment menu goes
from strength to strength, this offering from
Paul Oakenfold and friends went down a
treat. It was a mixed bag of sounds with
Grace catering for the "house" end of the
spectrum with her top dance trio and
swanky outfits. " The Man With No Name"
christened himself well and truly with his
lushious sounds and 'the man himself' Paul
Oakenfold was LARGIN' it with not one but
two stormin' sets. Playing a set of chilled out
trancey tackle then further on into the night
the beats got harder as the night got longer
and the hours got smaller. The dressed up
crowd responed with the customary whoops Grace-ful
and wails with massive
smiles plastered all over their
faces.With all those magic
There's nothing
ingredients the night couldn't
be any less than- perfect.

Chris and Nick look over the latest bass heavy sounds...
P.O.D. bring forth their latest offering this week with Essence,
the original and the Granny remix (Granny's been busy lately),
on Seismic, an ear tickling, foot tapping tune, found on the
Renaissance Mix 2. This remixed favourite should be in any
vinyl addicts collection, if not already there in other forms.
The Sea, the P.F.M. mix sees Saint Etienne fusing their unique
style with a relaxed, jungle beat. Should definitely be listened to
several times before judgement is passed, it deserves this at
least, Chris thinks this is the dogs.
The latest batch of vinyl from Perfecto star BT is his
collaboration with Tori Amos, Blue Skies. A multitude of
remixes in this double double pack from the likes of Paul van
Dyke, Rabbit in the Moon and BT himself. Unfortunately, all
too much set to the typical BT formula and the most interesting
mix is the 3 minute radio edit.
LTJ Bukem's label, Looking Good Records, releases The
Instrumental/Solar System by Q Project. Superb intelligent
jungle. As always, this keeps up to the high standard of this
label, look out for limited box sets of this label's releases.

others. Peep shows, sex shows and on a softer scale, strip
shows, exploit this very scientific act.
Although the majority of people may look no further
than the copious amounts of 'soft', 'legal' pom to
entertain or arouse them, there is a worryingly large
black market trade of 'hard-core' pom creeping into
circulation. With new technology such as the Internet,
pornography which blatantly exploits and abuses the
vulnerable, such as children, the disabled, the poor, third
world kidnapees and animals, is being smuggled. This is
despite the Post Office and the Department of Customs
and Excise having the power to confiscate obscene
material entering the country and more than fifty nations
being under international
agreement to control obscene
publications.
A new and horrific type of
crime and illegal trafficking is
beginning to unfold where the
perpetrators are merciless. 'Snuff
videos' are among the most
horrendous and barbarous
products of this underground
hard-core pom culture, where the
victims are filmed being subjected
to painful and terrible sexual
torture ending tragically in death.
Of course the normal, rational and
humane amongst us will not justify
the viewing of such material.
However, in a world capable of
producing people who can subject
Pom in the 20th century
victims to such painful humiliation,
it can equally produce those capable of watching,
enjoying and obtaining sexual gratification from such
brutal acts.
An extremely shocking thought which gives rise to
all sorts of terrifying scenarios. Could such material
lead to copycat crimes for instance? There is a definite
need for a harsh crackdown on illegal pornography so
that the innocent are not exploited. Here lies the major
difference between any type of 'soft' and 'hard-core'
porn - the choice of the participant and indeed the
'tendency of the material to deprave or corrupt persons
who are likely to read, see or hear the matter contained
or embodied in it'.
So, pornography - is it for you? Whatever turns you
on - I'll settle for Richard and Judy, a cup of tea and a
hob-nob. Ta very much.

But seriously, someone, somewhere
actually buys this stuff. I always

They're always the ones who stand next

But then I started thinking. What if
once they were just like you or me.
What if there is a specific day when you

who buy it are evidence of the long­

THE 23rd of October was a
black day for Newcastle
University sport.
The once-proud Toon
Army were comprehensively
defeated on bleak day in
Sheffield which saw:
■ a mere eight wins from the
31 fixtures played
■ only three first te^ms beat
their opponents on the day
■ especially heavy defeats in
hockey and football
Better news came from the
mens Basketballers who
achieved a comfortable 76-55
victory, Lacrosse, who played
fantastically well to run out 94 victors, and women's rugby.
The NUNS are flying the
flag for the rest of the

them still unbeaten this term.

were unlucky to be edged out
by just one point, just stopping
a clean sweep by Newcastle's
rugger people as the 2nd and
3rd XV's both won their fixtures.
Elsewhere though, it was a
tale of woe as the disdplinarily
challenged men's hockey team
were demolished 9-1, with
their female counterparts
faring little better, going
down by six goals to one.
The footballers were well
beaten too with neither the
men's top two teams, or indeed
the women able to muster a
single goal between them.
There were also crushing
defeats in Squash, Fencing,
Table Tennis and Badminton.
What lies behind this sad
demise of a once great
sporting university? Who
knows, but we must surely
hope for better results in the
forthcoming local derbies
against Durham and the Poly.
All fixtures played away on October
