The ‘rahs’ rule the roost
6:26pm Thursday 18th March 2010
By Community Correspondent: Hannah Davies A recent article in a Sunday supplement discussed the supposed influx of the so-called ‘rahs’ in recent years at Newcastle University. ‘Rahs’ can be defined as the social clique of ‘upper class public school kids’, now university students, who have become an increasingly dominant social power within the university society, as suggested in said article. These comments have most likely been initiated by the arrival at Newcastle University in September 2009 of a member of the Royal Family and, perhaps, a perfect symbol of the upper class ‘rahs’: Princess Eugenie.
A Report on the National Junior Scullers Head
7:34am Thursday 18th March 2010
By Community Correspondent Jack Claydon The 2010 National Junior Scullers Head was held at Dorney Lake, the lake to be used at the 2012 Olympic Games as the rowing lake. The lake looked in fine condition, with building work still being carried out on a huge, red bridge spanning the entrance to the main racing lake from the warm up lake. I felt incredibly patriotic as our mini bus drove down the road towards the lake when I saw the many diggers and machines working together to build and finish the lake. It gave me pride to see how Britain is putting effort and labour into making the London Games special and showcasing the taste for excellence that has recently been divided from our country’s image.
Food for thought.
