UCL Bans Military Recruitment
Muppetofthenorth
Being a current UAS student, such rules are not surprising.
Then recruiting during Fresher's Week, we're not allowed inside any of the SU buildings, haven't been for years.
Have you considered the fact that since you are now paying for your education directly, more than ever before, you have a Contract with the University, NOT the SU student committee. If you are ‘banned’ from part of the University for attempting to carry out normal and lawful student activities then you should take it up with the University authorities. Start with the informal grievance process and don’t hesitate to go to the formal level if necessary.
If the University authorities will not support you, then please copy their responses here for taxpayer scrutiny.

Apologies, I should have worded my response more clearly:
We have been prohibited from recruiting on SU property.
I say 'have been' because there is now a member of the UOTC who is a newly elected official in the Union who has pledged to change this.

Use the System!!
When I was a student in the 1970s, the SU's constitution was geared up to allow a minority of left wing "activists" to pass motions in the name of the students at the University. However, the engineering faculty attended a meeting of the union mob handed (easily outnumbering the "Black Lesbian Street Theatre against the Bomb Brigade") and voted free beer to be available for the Engineering Building every Friday night for a year at union expense.
Perhaps the UAS/OTC etc could do the same one day.....?

Same thing happened whilst I was on UAS. Filthy lefty sandal wearing hippies would ban the OTC/UAS from recruiting due to policy on homosexuals serving.
All that happened was we set up shop on the main street directly outside the freshers fair anyway; the fuss and commotion the filthy commie toerags used to make did nothing but promote recruitment of the "right sort" to the UAS anyway!!!

this is obviously what we can expect from our 'great' institutions nowadays.So, let's hear your case. What do you have to say for yourself? Or don't you have the balls..?

The point of a feshers fayer is for the students of the given university to go along and see what clubs etc. are available to them. Why should one club be punished and not others? I'm sure that more people would be interested in UOTC/UAS than the 'extreem frisbee' club? I know i would be.

As the proposer of the motion and, I presume, a believer in the democracy of student politics perhaps you should respond with words, not smilies.
Your assertions are gravely offensive to many, and your understanding of the role of both regular and reserve forces is flawed. It is safe to assume that your views are not shared by the student body as a whole, as the main participants in student politics have always been the lefty apprentice scargillites, trotskyists, anarchists, crusties etc and rarely, if at all, the moderates or right wingers. I anticipate that your, and the Union's actions, will be an embarrassment to the university, especially at this time.
Like many lefty student agitators before, you probably think you are a big fish in the safe little pond of university life. Unfortunately, you don't know how deep that pond is yet. If you ever expose yourself to the real world, you may be in for a shock.

This has got to be a wind-up!
Edward Hood History - your grasp of spelling and punctuation appalls me. Stop messing about on here and get yourself an education such that you stand a fighting chance of composing a reasonable CV.
Sham Rajyaguru - the floor is yours. Justify your wretched posture, you pathetic little man/woman.

I was also at UCL from 1986 - 1990 (nothing wrong with my maths - I enjoyed my 2nd year so much that I decided to do it again).
OTC/UAS etc were banned from recruiting at the Freshers Fair then as well - didn't seem to hold back the applications.
As is so often the case a very small number of pathetic mewling lapdogs have a loud yap and seem to get their way - the vast majority of students realise that they are spouting complete political b0ll0x and ignore them, and are generally too busy drinking beer, getting laid and having fun to bother stopping them.
The Rugby, and Hockey clubs were always staunch bastions of right wing values, and brave was the idiot that attempted to sell copies of socialist worker to them (yes, they did try).

Does anybody know the origin of the name Sham Rajyaguru or is it Shambles Rogeredaguru. I.e country of origin and if it is a name that is closely linked to any particular leaning towards any particular religion. I really think the fact that he was a sea cadet should be fed to the local press, whom I am sure will cover this. I bet the lefty members of the SU would love to know that he was/pretended to be a Sea Cadet.
War is also quite good fun...
Sham and Edward,
Presuming, for the moment, your bona fides, as a well educated chap (BSc, MSc(hons) MPhil (Cantab) etc) I can assure you that war is rarely 'rong'. It is, however, a lot of fun.

I am not sure the motion will last for long. Go to this page and read some of the comments by UCL students/members. You MUST GO HERE ANYWAY! go to post 39 from Capt Planet to see the best Avtar on the internet

Also somewhat stunning to see the UCL SU are unable to spell "ammendment" (sic) correctly! What are we wasting our taxes on if the officials of the Union cannot even spell?
