York's Sex Trade Uncovered Nominated for Guardian and NUS Student Newspaper of the Year 2006 Spring Term Week Six Tuesday 13 February 07 www.nouse.co.uk NOUSE Est. 1964 YORK’S SEX TRADE UNCOVERED In Muse M8-M10 Nouse’s open letter unites 1200 voices in a single demand: Bring back our porters NOUSE 13th February 2007 To Brian Cantor, The current situation concerning the porters at the University of York is unaccept- able. This letter seeks to unify the voices of students, academics, staff and support- ers into one single message which carries the full force of our numbers and stand- ings. We recognise the inherent value of our porters as individuals and for the vital role they play within the University as a cornerstone of the collegiate system. Porters' knowledge of the habits and needs of students, academics and staff; their contribu- tion to security and welfare and the vital administrative services they provide with- in colleges make them invaluable to the life of the University. Thus, we firmly believe that the closure of porters lodges in either the short or the long-term is dam- aging to all aspects of University life; academic, residential and commercial. On the strength of this conviction, we demand a concrete assurance from the Directorate of Facilities Management that the situation concerning porters will be restored to its state as of October 2006 by a pre-specified date. Anything short of such an assurance, and any attempt to settle for an ongoing reduction of service, is unacceptable. The current situation demands that all available time and energy be devoted to seeking a swift resolution. However, once full levels of service have been restored, an investigation into the causes of the lodge closures must take place in order to avoid the recurrence of this situation. Should such an inquiry reveal shortcomings on the part of any individual or organisation, then that individual or organisation must be held accountable. This message is a singular and unified expression of will.

  • The Premier League and Tile New Consumption. Of
    THE PREMIER LEAGUE AND TILE NEW CONSUMPTION. OF FOOTBALL ANTHONY KING PhD THESIS UNIVERSITY OF SALFORD INSTITUTE FOR SOCIAL RESEARCH 1995 Abstract: This thesis is a historical and critical examination of the development of the Premier League and the new consumption of football, which attempts to link these developments with wider post-Fordist transformations. The thesis argues that the transformation of labour relations in football set the Football League on a course of organic political economic development which privileged the big city clubs. During the 1980s, these clubs became conscious of this divide and, in a complex series of negotiations, effected a breakaway from the League to form the Premier League. It is argued that the latter organisation was the institutional framework in which the new consumption of football was possible. The particular form of that new consumption of football was determined by certain discursive interventions from 1985, which prescribed a particular course of reform for football. The thesis argues that these discourses were intimately related to wider post-Fordist developments and were privileged both because of those (post- Fordist) developments and the organic transformation of football itself. The thesis goes on to suggest that the conjunctural discourses of reform were implemented by a fraction of the capitalist class, the new business class and Part N, involves an extensive examination of this class fraction's participation in the game and the fans' resistance and compliance to this project. By examining both the long-term, organic developments and the more immediate conjunctural moments of the 1980s, the thesis attempts to provide a holistic account of recent developments in football, which it is hoped will throw light on Britain's post-Fordist transformation.
