[HDNG]UNIVERSITY OF HUMBERSIDE STUDENTS' UNION:[EHDNG][PARA][GRPH]P5[EGRPH][STAT][BULL] 5 sabbaticals [BULL] Turnout at last ballot: 10% [BULL] Ave. turnout at General Meetings: 2.5% [BULL] NUS member [ESTAT][PARA][ITAL]With so little community atmosphere it's hard to steel students for a bout of banner brandishing, not that the Union ever tries. It seems as though one part of the Union never knows what the other parts are doing. The only matters that raise even an eyebrow, let alone a battle cry, are locally-based or University-related student issues, notably over-crowding and stretched facilities. Even the attitude to commercial activities is somewhat robotic and unconsidered. Relations with the University are pretty cruddy; one idea being floated is to cut the number of sabbaticals to one.[EITAL][HDNG]SU FACILITIES:[EHDNG][PARA]The new Union building, the Strand, [ITAL]is something of a shell[EITAL]; all the available funds have been sucked up by the building itself, [ITAL]leaving a skeleton staff, and few facilities[EITAL]. There are offices, a bar and a cinema. Also lots of plans, but funding overall is due to suffer a 4% cut.[HDNG]CLUBS (NON SPORTING):[EHDNG][PARA]Warsoc (battle re-enactment); Film ; Radio; Multimedia; Hellenic.[HDNG]OTHER ORGANISATIONS:[EHDNG][PARA]The student magazine is called 'Hull Subway', and Grimsby has its own mag, 'FAF'.[PARA][PARA][ITAL][HDNG]RELIGIOUS:[EHDNG][EITAL][PARA]Students rely on the 2 towns for their religion fix.
