R.I.P. AmblesideOn Wednesday 16th December 2009, Students from all campuses travelled up to Carlisle to protest against the proposed ‘mothballing’ of the Ambleside campus and axing of the undergraduate courses. The protest was held in Carlisle because on the same day the university academic board were meeting to discuss the plans for the future of Ambleside. Our Union president, Emma Green led the protest of angry students and before it stated “I hope we can make a difference. We have a lot of support from everyone in the community”. Students met in Carlisle City Centre and marched from there to the Fusehill Street campus carrying a replica coffin
with the words ‘RIP Ambleside’ and ‘Relocate your dreams’ written along each side. They were then met by Peter McCaffrey (Vice Chancellor) who told the protestors: “We are between a rock and a hard place. We will do everything we can to ensure we minimise disruption to you and your studies. We have considered all other options available.”There have been many complaints to the university for this decision. 2,000 people have written objections while 4,000 people have signed an online petition against the plans. MP for Westmorland and Lonsdale Tim Farron also said: “If they do not consider these objections individually, I will want to know why.”

THE SCENE NEEDS YOU!
Student Representation
If you’ve been reading your student global email during the first term you’ll have spotted that the Students’ Union has been asking for input on the structure of our elected officers and groups within the Union. This is in response to an ongoing review of how we meet the needs of our members across all courses and sites, and we are drawing towards the conclusion of a two-year review and potential restructure of how we are organised.
A series of draft proposals have been drawn up with the specific aim of trying to make the Union more open for part time, distance learners and other currently under-represented students to get involved. A series of reports have been written based upon research conducted and surveys of our members, and the changing nature of our student body has been studied and incorporated into proposals on how we could re-organise to better to meet the diverse needs of all students.
These draft proposals were put before Union Council on the 8th of December, and received a positive vote indicating they should be developed into a final series of regulations that Council will either reject on technical detail or recommend to referendum. As such the new Governance Structure (or how we are organised to represent you) of the University of Cumbria Students’ Union will probably be coming out for you, the students, to approve or deny, in early February. It is hoped that the Students’ Union will be electing to this new structure in the February/March elections.
We’d love you to review the proposals through the documentation on our website and get back in touch with us to let us know what you think. The proposals form the boldest and most representative changes to the Students’ Union structures in recent memory, and are driven by a serious desire to give all students a real opportunity to get involved whether they are full or part time, nurses or teachers, 18-21 or an adult returner
Governance Restructure proposals move ahead

to education and no matter whether they are based in Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness or Tower Hamlets!
The full proposal (with fancy introductory text) is called ‘Governance Restructure Proposal’ and there is a brief version with full Q&A called ‘Governance Restructure Brief and Notes’. Both are available on the ‘Your Union’ section of the Students’ Union website - www.thestudentsunion.org.uk
Please do let us know what you think by emailing your feedback to Danny Prescott, UCSU Representation and Democracy Coordinator ([email protected]) who will collate all responses and report them back to the Drafting Group. We are encouraging all sections of the University of Cumbria student community to get involved and would like to hear from allof you.

One of the big issues decided at the Welcome Assembly – itself a first, being the inaugural cross campus Union Council where are students are invited to attend by video conference – were the priority campaigns for the year ahead. Priority campaigns are the global issues that the Union will be spending significant resources campaigning on over the course of the year, and they are defined as issues which have the potential to effect students equally across all sites irrespective of their course or mode of study. Traditionally these selections have been made by key elected officers over the summer months away from democratic scrutiny and without significant consultation, and in recognition of this distinctly unrepresentative way of going about things this year the Welcome Assembly was given the right to chose the key global campaigns.
The low-down on the selected campaigns are as follows:Housing Campaign - Students need information on housing available to them before they start to sort out rental agreements, and the Union can help students by: hosting a yearly Housing Fayre in the 2nd term, which will have landlords present to answer questions; conducting research at every student house, which will rate the space in which each student lives; listening to students concerns about housing and
work actively to solve these problems and to make detailed booklets for students on their rights as tenants. HE funding Campaign - To work with the National Union of Students and other bodies to campaign for a fairer HE Funding System and to take stand against raising or lifting the ‘cap’ on tuition fees through such actions as: lobbying the University to formally support students’ stance against the current HE funding system and campaign for a fairer one; taking the stance that those who make more money from their degree should pay back more; campaigning for the high costs of Arts education and realistic rates of rent etc to be recognised and provided for as part of student finance arrangements.Community – Our members are encouraged to become actively involved within their university and local community as students and residents through aims like guaranteeing that the Students’ Union has a permanent and effective presence on local government boards and within community forums; encouraging communication between the Students’ Union and its community; inviting local officials and residents to be involved in Union events; educating the local government and residents of the value of their local students and encouraging students to value, respect and play a dynamic positive role in their local communities.
Tree O’Clock – Guinness world Record Attempt
On behalf of UCSU Volunteering I would like to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who turned out on a very cold and wet December morning to get extremely muddy, planting as many trees as we could between 11am & 12noon! You were fantastic!42 volunteers, comprising students and staff of the University of Cumbria, attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the most number of trees planted in multiple locations across the UK, within one hour. Our contribution to the record was an amazing 642 native trees; blackthorn, hawthorn, bird
11
cherry and crab apple, which we planted on the bund around the ‘cow dome’ at Sewborwens Farm, Newton Rigg, Penrith. The record we were trying to beat was 653,143 and at the time of writing we were still waiting to hear if we were successful! This project was part of the BBC Breathing Places initiative ‘Tree O’Clock.’More photos available on our Facebook group ‘UCSU Volunteering’ photos
Worden Mentoring Project 2009 Worden Sports College approached us again this year to run the mentoring program with them for the third year running. They really value this project and the impact that it has had on their year 10 & 11 pupils over the past two years. UCSU Volunteers, Ruth Smith, Simon Munday, Kath Towsnend, Cath Holden, Emma Robinson, Betsy Stirland and John Duggan have all been assigned pupils who will most benefit from this project.

The start of the New Year also heralds the start of the brand new Students’ Union ‘CommUNIty campaign’.
‘CommUNIty’ will take place across all of the University of Cumbria’s main Campuses and principally aims to:• Enhance a healthy sense of Community amongst student residents, local residents and local businesses.• Enhance student awareness of Recycling/Environmental issues• Develop student awareness about noise disturbance
Do you know your Neighbour?As students you are a part of the local residential community in which you live. ‘CommUNIty’ will begin with the launch of a cross campus postcard campaign
that aims to encourage all of you to get to know your neighbour a little bit better.
Getting to know your Neighbour can have a number of benefits for you, your Neighbour and the local Community including increased security and safety - So why not make sure you grab a postcard, fill it in and take part?
If you have any questions or comments about the Community campaign or would like more information about how to get involved then email the Lancaster Vice President: [email protected] or ask in your local Students’ Union Office.

Lancaster Focus
Lancaster Campus Societies
Hectic can be the only word used to describe the first semester down here at Lancaster. After a very successful Activities Fair, eight of last years societies re-affiliated with only geography and multicultural being casualties.
Two new societies; music and salsa were soon joined by golf, swimming & water polo, trampolining and volleyball as the list of new societies grows week by week. Karate were a little late in getting their act together but are now ready to re-affiliate in January and hope to be joined by liberal youth who are actively campaigning to support students rights on the Lancaster Campus.
With fifteen societies to choose from, students can be energetic with trampolining, volleyball, karate or golf, go walking, climbing or skiing, enjoy dance, drama or a bit of salsa or get involved with children with Special Education needs or sit back and enjoy music.
Anyone interested in joining any of the above societies or even setting up your own, then please contact the Clubs & Societies Officer, Lorri Millar either by email ([email protected]) or pop into the Students’ Union Office and see Allan.

Lancaster Campus BUCS Sports Teams
As the Michaelmas term 2009 and first semester come to a close, we can have a look at the winners and losers since the season began, and undoubtedly the winner has to be, THE WEATHER.
Yes even though Lancaster missed out on some of the country’s worst rainfall on record, some twenty matches have fallen foul of the weather and need to be re-arranged once students return in 2010.
Amongst the teams, rivalry for top spot is as intense as ever, with Men’s Hockey, Women’s Hockey, Women’s Football and Netball all unbeaten in their League fixtures and proudly stand top of their Leagues. The latter three women’s teams are all chasing silverware in the cup as well, being either at the last sixteen or quarter final stage.
These teams are keenly chased by Men’s Badminton, Men’s Rugby League & Men’s Rugby Union who have only lost once with the latter two teams still being top of their respective Leagues.
Those that need to look over their shoulder for fear of relegation are Men’s Football 1st & 3rd with Men’s Basketball and Men’s Football 2nd just above the relegation zone. Women’s Rugby Union have been hardest hit by the weather with no fewer than four games to be re-arranged in the New Year and they look like playing every week right up to the end of the season.
Salsa, Golf, Volleyball or swimming? Just a few of the societies you could get involved with if you are on the Lancaster campus.Visit the Students’ Union for more details!
