[ENS] NUS is just around the corner...

[Heather Shaw]

Heya chumrades,
 
As you will already be aware, NUS annual conference is less than two weeks away! Ideally we would have liked to have another meeting beforehand but with the demo etc we kinda fell behind. Hardly the end of the world, BUT Ed M and I were in London this weekend so we got together for half an hour and chatted about what we needed to get sorted for the conference. We think that we should produce our usual 8 page ENS Zine to give out to delegates so at least they have one decent thing to read on conference floor and seeing as this is probably the last NUS Conf EVER we came up with some ideas for a really ace edition. Below is a list of the articles we think it'd be good to include and the people we think it'd be good to have pen them, if there is anything else you'd like to write for the zine then please let me know asap. If you see your name here can you let me know that you are happy to write the article? They only have to be short - less than 500 words
 should do it...

Cheers guys xxxxxxx

I said then and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it; while there is a criminal element, I am of it; while there is a soul in prison, I am not free"
