STUDENTS have been approached in the street by men pretending to be from a Unipol registered property manager. One group of students was approached at Leeds University's Parkinson steps by a man in a suit. who asked them it they were looking for a Unipol standard property. He then attempted to direct them to a non-Unipol agent. Another group was similarly approached in Headingley Lane. Steve Chippendale. Unipol's Code of Standards Officer, issued a general warning to students not to be taken in by these men. He said: "I urge students to check with Unipol whether agents are registered with us. 'These particular agents are not signed up to our Code of Standards. Please phone us or drop into the race if you are [insure." Steve is concerned that such acus ities will coerce students into signing for properties prematurely. He said: "These heavy handed tactics have been used in previous years and we do not want students to sign up for properties under false pretenses." He also stressed that most Unipol agents only advertise after March I. when their official list is published. Unipol could not name the agent involved, as the only concrete evidence they have at the moment is students phoning to complain about their experiences. Pressure on students to sign for a house is mounting in the run up to the publication of the list of properties which comply with the Unipol Code of Standards.

by Dan Box, Cristina Irving and Daljinder Kaur Kullar

IN THE wake of the 'Not In Our Names' campaign. launched last week, Leeds University has come under heavy attack both on and off campus. A Leeds Student survey of IOU students reveals that over 90 per cent arc 'very worried' or 'concerned' that their University profits from companies such as BP and Shell whose actions are linked with human rights abuses and have been seen to cause massive environmental damage. Over 80 per cent of those questioned expressed anger that the University owns shares in BAc Systems and GKN, arms companies who in the past have dealt with Saddam Hussain and General Pinochct. BAe has sold Hawk jets to the Indonesian government which were used in the illegal occupation of East Timor. Last week. Ezequiel de Oliveria. a refugee from the conflict told this paper how he watched these planes bomb the village where he lived. While only 49 per cent felt any concern that the University invests in tobacco companies. 88 per cent of students are worried that the University owns shares in companies which are linked to animal testing and third world debt. The impact of this resentment has already been felt off campus. with the issue being raised on John Boyd's news review programme on BBC Radio Leeds. In response to our campaign. Leeds University has released a press statement defending its position. This defence rests on a claim that their A BRAVE FACE: Leeds University weathers a *tom of controversy investment advisors.

Graduation's looming and so is the prospect of a dull job, right? Wrong. Cramer's different, which is why you'll find us more attractive than the average employer. Mainly because there's nothing average about us. Our unique telecoms software outsells all its rivals and is responsible for our phenomenal growth. People like working here. Its friendly, enjoyable and our relaxed culture is very easy to settle into. So you won't find a regimented graduate training scheme. What you will experience is excellent support and mentoring that will ground you in leading edge technologies such as Visual C++, Oracle and Java. And just because other companies like working long hours it doesn't mean we have to (a life outside of work is compulsory). if you're a top flight graduate with a technical/ computer science degree, it's time you got into Cramer.

are we aware of 11. what we wear?

1 is said that we consume over 3000 advertisements every day. But what about the millions of images displayed on our clothes? IFashion designers ii seems have projected their labels from being tucked away and hidden from view. to a prominence that now can be seen on so many clothes. Walking around any busy shopping street one can't help but notice Ted Baker, Paul Smith and Tommy Hilfiger. Then there are corporate brand names such as GAP, Nike, Adidas or Coca Cola not to mention countless other labels. names and images such as USA. FBI and Che Guevara. Can you imagine being Ted Baker or Paul Smith seeing your name on everyone who passed you by in the street? It must be a bizarre feeling. But it begs the question: why do we wear their names on our clothes? Why don't we wear our own mimes on our Clothes with equal pride? How different would our enthusiasm for displaying the names of Calvin Klein and Tommy Iiiifit,er he if we actually met these people. For example Tommy Bill-Ter is alleged to be racist and homophobic, yet we are still happy to promote his name on our clothes without question. Regardless of what Calvin Klein is really like we cherish him in our underwear. Why are we compelled to pay lots of money for a garment from a shop with Its ineo so prominent? Fiir GAP. Adidas. Reebok and others it is a ease of free advertising. Bach new Adidas shirt is no different to another billboard or TV commercial. Arc we walking advertisements?

There are The corporate logo is one thing, yet there are many other now many people proudly wearing the Coca Cola logo across images we wear that don't explicitly advertise anything but are their clothes. It seems people are ihe best billboards. treated with the same nonchalance. The image it seems loses meaning when it is printed on our clothes. In the artistic centre et the phenomena takes a new turn when countries of Monmatrc in Paris. I passed a tourist shop selling i-shirts outside the West follow suit. It is there that the with a variety of different images from tits and hums to Che adherence to the brand as a symbol of wealth or Guevara. FBI. dollar signs and US flags all side by side.

Yet his image has been hijacked for years. Vodka. Lukole who replicated the logo of Nike on shoes he bought famously used his image in a promotion. The photographer of the image.

nothcr popular image often embroidered on people's clothes is the US flag or US insignia. Whether people wear it with pride, or whether it is almost invisible to Athe individual is difficult to know. Yet the flag's omnipresence is startling. All around the world. it is worn proudly and prominently. even in countries where America is ABOVE: A young boy replicates the Nike logo on his shoes in seen as a foe. Others walk around with 'LT.S.A* emblazoned on Lukole refugee camp in Tanzania their clothes, So many non-Americans wear the flag as if they arc patriotic citizens of the country. Yet in the same way as Coke. Gap or Nike is promoted, the USA is also promoted on our clothes. It advertises the country, legitimises it and furthers its cultural and ideological dominance. Others wear the German flag on those army jackets: some wear the Unjust Jack, but nothing like the amount the US flag is worn, by so many. around the globe. The US clothes company 'Schott' sells itself on its tagline: "Schott is an official supplier to the US military," That message, printed on a background of the US flag, comes free with any Schott garment that is purchased. Some might be confused why they promote rather than disguise their connection to a military whose activities are sometimes considered to be very dubious The same idea of advertising 'through people' is used in a counter sense as well. One political activist from San Francisco said "we communicate through T-shirts and bumper stickers." It is interesting to see how those who often reject the idea of marketing use its force as a way to communicate non-corporate messages. During protests in Prague. Seattle and elsewhere some activists wore SI T-shirt with the words "this is what democracy looks like" as they were tear gassed by riot police. It was very symbolic, In an image saturated world where the brand is becoming more important than the product. arc we in danger ourselves of merging with the brand. Is it time we considered the meaning behind the message?

However we managed to immediately. and after trying it on, we knew that for just twenty convince him to have a look and reminded him that beggars can't pounds. it was a bargain worth waiting for To complement the he choosers - we are after all shopping on a budget. To his Abby felt like Julia Roberts in Pretty outfit, she Found a pair of comfortable navy flared jeans, and a surprise Gary did come across a few items of clothing that took cute white logo t-shirt. Abby was surprised at the great bargains his fancy, including a beige fleece, perfect for those cold walks Woman, in and out of the changing she had found and was pleased to note that she didn't have to kill through Hyde Park. and a pair of black combats all for just twenty the credit card to find flattering, stylish clothes. five pounds. Gary was impressed that he managed to find clothes rooms, each time with a new look. Nick on the other hand was not as easy to please. He insisted to suit his taste at such bargain prices and furthermore that a shop This however, was the Otley Road, that the shop was only for girls. despite the manager's assurance with a limited range could cater for his 6 feet frame! Unlike many that it was unisex. Finally. he found a trendy red hooded jumper of the shop assistants working in the larger high street stores, in not Rodeo Drive and navy combats. which suited the image that he was after.

BLUE RINSE: Joel strikes a pose in one of the better finds of the day of the latest fashions. and we found that there was a great variation in pricing. As we were shopping on a budget. we were hunting for the bargains. Unlike the shops that we had already visited, here we found an extensive selection of smart clothing. and the tricky part was deciding which outfit to pick. The chosen outfit was a plain yet trendy short sleeved silk effect black shin, with two tips at the front, paired with black baggy trousers. which came to £40. Joel also found some casual clobber, with rows of £10 t- shins and a pair of funky blue turn-up jeans priced at £25. Topshop also proved a success for our model Katie, who picked up a white cowl-neck top for just £10 which could be dressed up or down. Moreover, we were impressed with the nanny deals on offer in both Tupshop and Topman. and the standard 10% student discount. In fact both these shops were just as reasonably priced as some of the second hand shops. but had a far greater variety. WHENYOU BUY

ime was running out for our challengers, so we headed straight to our last chop of the day, Blue Rinse. This second-hand store is located next to the Corn Exchange. and. like Sugar Shack, has some impressive seventies numbers. THowever, the clothes were not as outrageous as those in Sugar Shack, and our models found that much of the clothing was to their taste and definitely wearable. Joel landed himself a great bargain with a grey hooded duffle coat for just £25, ideal for those who want to reminisce about their school days. This went well with a grey hooded 'Michigan' jumper and black combats, which were in the sale for just £10. Katie's outfit consisted of a black and white 80's inspired 'Madonna' tiny t-shirt and blue flared jeans. However. this outfit came to £46, so ironically it was in this second- CLASSES hand store that our budget was the most severely stretched. and was therefore the most expensive outfit of the challenge so far. Ask in Store for Details After a long but worthwhile day of shopping. our models and cameraman talons: with the wet umbrellas, bugs of shopping and leftover change) headed for the nearest coffee shop and chilled with a mocha choca while discussing what we considered I. he the best buy of the day.
