Dear gair rhydd,
I am writing in response to James Hinks’ article ‘Could Mobile Phones be Worse than Smoking?’, in issue 869.
Dear gair rhydd,
Firstly, in response to comments by Rasputin relating to the Graduate Centre in the current issue, readers may be interested to know that the university did not TAKE space from the Union to create the Graduate Centre. In fact, they GAVE the staff dining room space to postgraduates (who are still students as far as we are aware), and part of the Dining Room donation also enabled the creation of the Student Development Unit. The Graduate Centre was created at the request of postgraduate students and remains important to postgraduates. It may not be busy in the evening, but that may have something to do with the Graduate Centre being above Solus, and therefore not being able to hold events on club or gig nights.
