The news that over a hundred new students are starting university life in involved in temporary accommodation will concern everyone who knows how important stability is during those those first few weeks. RSC by contrast seems to be rather less worried, Not only did they try to deny the blunder at first, hut they then appeared unconcerned about the fate of the new intake. They appear to see no problem with accepting students onto a course and then informing them only a week before the new term that they do not have permanent lodgings. Clearing candidates it seems are considered a lowly gmup of wannabe students who do not deserve the same levels of service as the rest of the student body. The homeless freshers have not been kept Leeds Student? informed about their situation and as a result are having their first- term nerves compounded by uncertainty over their future. Two years ago, RSC made an almost identical blunder which left 38 students out in the cold. Again, the excuse was that they had come through clearing. However in the case of one group of freshers. it proved a blessing in disguise. The homeless bunch were placed in the four-star Merrion Thistle Hotel until they could move into their new accommodation. Sounds like the least the RSC could do in the circumstances.

One giant leap for LMU Leeds Metropolitan University', t hineen place climh ai Me .tialulav limes University Guide represent, ificant achievement for the institution. With the opening of the new city campus development, it looks set to rise and rise. But let's not forget that Leeds University's small step down to 22nd place still places it far above LMU. The Guide makes it clear MONDAY 2ND OCTOBER that there are many key areas where the lower institution is weak. Leeds may have been confimied once again as the most popular destination for students in the country, but learning something while we are here would not go amiss. A score of just ten per cent on 7PM teaching quality is very poor. The fact that five subjects missed out on being rated excellent by one point does not make it any better. They won't take that excuse when it tonnes to our A-Levels. so why should we accept it from them? Not that Leeds University should he basking in its hardly sky-high rating. It may boast a far higher teaching quality. but its drop out rate is double that of LMU's. It may be the most popular university before people get here. But it seems that, after actually experiencing it, for many students it's a different story. Our verdict: could do better.

18 Friday September 20 2000 U111C8C, U.S 9 Once back again Peter Kirk takes a look at where to buy your records in Leeds

As it is the start of a new term, everything in Leeds club- land is tied into introweek, and trying to capture the souls of new students, I thought it would be a good move to look at the three main record shops in Leeds: Innercity, Crash and Sublevel. These are the places that most people in Leeds buy their vinyl, and where you can get tickets for big nights. There are of course stacks of other shops in Leeds, from smaller independent shops, to dingy basements full of dodgy old Cher records.

Innercity

Innen:ay has been running as an international mail order company since 1997, and in the last year has expanded to running a shop in LS6, on Hyde Park Corner (taking over the building which used to he Nigel Walker's 'Rabid Records). The mail order side of Innercity is still ticking over though, and they have a website (www.innercity.co.uk) where you can sign up for a weekly email detailing all new records which are released each week. Apparently they also have the cheapest vinyl in Leeds: £1.50 cheaper than hmv on many records. Anyway, anyone who Nuys their records in HMV is a bit of a loser anyway: remem- ber kids it's independent shops which support the dance music scene. lnncrcity's range is pretty wide, spanning the tcchno. house and leftrield spectrum with a large sale stock (is for a change isn't just the usual low-grade crap). Also, if you like your [Mint>, there is a club night hosted by Ennercity records coming up, at The Space on sunday the 22nd of October. where &oohs DJ Bone will be playing a three hour set.

Sublevel

Sublevel records is across the road from Innercity. on Hyde Park Corner. However you musin'i think that you have to choose between the two. Rather than just concentrating on new tunes Sublevel are pio- neering a vinyl exchange system, similar to those operated at Vinyl Exchange in Manchester and the Music and Video Exchange in London. This of course means that you can ditch all the records you are not too fund of and swap them for some- thing better. They stock a great variety of different styles, and have tapes and CDs as well as vinyl. Altogether it's a good source of hard to find tunes, new and old, Ian von Trapp from Sublevel is also involved (along with Paul from Innercity) in a new old school night at Ic Phono in the Merion Centre called Flashback if am sure any similarity to the whistles and glow sticks monster that is Flashback at the Que club in Birmingham is coincidental!)

This weeks choice Crash The last stop on our tour is Crash records in lecds. the have for the discerning indie type stuff on the top floor and a dance basement_ They stock new CDs and vinyl of all genres. Crash is on the Headawii in leeds city centre. which means you have to carry your records ear: a hit further this is really annoying as all good djs have flunkies and groupies for that kind of crap. so if you see anyone carrying The only club thing I can recommend you to look out records around. you either know they are not much cop on the for this week is Ceim at Revolution on Call Lane in the old ones and twos, or they are 'keepin' it real'. Crash is probably city centre. This is a chill out kind of affair. which is the busiest independent record shop in Leeds, and if you are after non dance music it is definitely the place to go. Having copied by many but bettered by none! It kicks off at said that they have a good selection of drum and bass, as the 2pm on a Sunday and lasts until 10.3Epm, by which buyer from the legendary Way Ahead records (which has sadly time things are usually exciting. Qs include the Texas been long closed) now works at Crash. Outlaws and various members of the Most Wanted This is also one of the main places to buy tickets for events in Leeds, another shop worth a honourable mention in this line is Collective.

worth taking the plunge because the gallery has some really inter- esting exhibitions. It's also a remarkably peaceful space away from the hustle and bustle of the Headrow outside. There are about three or four separate exhibition spaces inside (including a tiny room at the hack which people often miss) which are all classic white cubes. The central space is an amazingly vast room which is often dazzlingly light - here are some of the most impressive displays. The Institute has three to four fairly long running temporary exhibitions a year. Currently running in the smaller hack mom is a year long project 'Eternal Return' - an exhibition about sculpture and images of cyclical time which recently featured the Turner Prize nominee Steven Pippin. Meanwhile 'ReLLITTI to Life: A New Look at the Portrait Bust' starts on 28th September.

We constantly related Bthe developments in the house to ourselves: "It's just like nut first weeks at university when everybody's being fake!" a friend enthused. "If I was in them I'd do what Nick's doing," said another. We loved to loathe the inmates. yet by the end we'd grown strangely fond of our cyber-neighbours to the point where addicts were saying things like "I'll miss Darren,- in all seriousness. So why did Castaway fail to command such an audience? Because its initial aim was to see how a group of of strangers could work together. Far too namby-pamby for a bkxxIthirsty audience wanting fireworks and malicious back-biting. Big Brother succeeded specifically because it didn't package itself as a social experiment. As the ten contestants kept reminding us, it was only ever a game show. Unlike Castaway, its very structure was geared towards self-preservation. There had to he a winner. 'Togetherness was never an issue. And although towards the end, Melanie, Darren, Anna and Craig did seem to have bonded as a group, they could never profess to he part of anything more than an Ikea-clad equivalent of the African Serengeti - a brutal, primal place where only the strongest or in BB's case, the 'nicest') can survive. With its state of the art cameras and constant surveillance footage going out live on the interact. it certainly succeeded in making the docu.soap genre look like a quaint anachronism. And the holy grail that all documentary-makers strive for Ito "get people talking -1 was undoubtedly achieved. Over the coining months, however, as the copycats move in and try to grab a slice of BB's enigmatic mass appeal, we shall see how long we can stay excited by this somewhat limited genre. Channel Five has already tried to emulate the BB phenomenon with Jailbreak: where the inmates were rewarded for their skills of escapology with big wads of cash. Again the premise relied on selfishness, not teamwork. To me it looked more like Prisoner Cell Block ff. No wonder the winners chewed through the cardboard walls in just two weeks. But this time next year, when something smarter comes along. Big Brother itself may seem horribly outdated. One winner. at least, is the Down's syndrome girl to whom Craig donated his price money. Not forgetting Davina McCall, who's ailing career seems to have been salvaged from obscurity and late night dating shows. The cheeky presenter who gained our favour simply by appearing to he as fascinated by BB as the rest of us. is now a household name. And for the time, and just as it was beginning to look SO terribly twentieth century. television has snatched hack the ability to enthrall an audience. And paradoxically, by teaming up with the interact to provide 24-hour surveillance of the Big Brother house. the TV world has stolen hack the impetus, away from the creeping omnipotence of that vapid opponent: online entertainment.
