Harry Tattersall Smith Hollywood and paranoid mothers would have you believe that hitchhiking is a one-way ticket to a gory death and the undesirable starring role in crime scene investigation. A sordid world in which every driver is a filthy sex offender and behind the innocent façade of that patiently waiting hippy is a maniacal ...

Glasgow Guardian talks to Sam Murray from Vitamins Vitamins seems to be a collaboration between some of Glasgow’s brightest clubbing sparks. How do you manage to contain the disparate talents of the various members? The four of us met while working at Subcity nearly 3 years ago. We had all been involved in clubnights in ...

Chris Miller Unless you happen to be one of our 4000-odd freshers not yet up to speed with university goings-on (likely), or perhaps on Mars for the last week or so, then it is highly probable that you will have heard of the university’s controversial proposal to flatten Glasgow University Union’s 1960s extension which houses ...

The occupation of 13 University Gardens dubbed the “Free Hetherington” ended on the 31st August after securing a number of concessions from University Management. They promptly declared victory, and caught in a flurry of camera shutters they were propelled into the national press as the ...

Thomas Coles Part of the Hetherington Retrospective feature. The occupation was not an isolated event, it tied itself into a huge series of ongoing debates about the people we are, the society we live in, and world politics. While the occupation took place revolutions occurred in the Middle East, Murdoch was disgraced, riots ...

by Tommy Gore It’s quite often the case that only when something is under threat that people sit up, take notice, and do something about it. I’d always meant to go on a cruise on the Waverley, being a good way of combining two of my favourite things, boats and the west coast of Scotland. ...

I’ve spent the last 3 summers travelling around continental Europe. Each time, travelling about has cost me around the same than it would’ve cost to stay in Glasgow and get rained on all summer, and for that money i got to see the sun too. The trick is never to pay for accommodation. If you ...
