We need to talk about: Canteens & Card Machines at UAL
Have you ever been frustrated by the price of food in your college canteen? Are you also astounded that in an increasingly ‘cashless’ city, the University still hasn’t installed card machines in all its canteens? And don’t get us started about the cutlery charges…
The service provided by college canteens and the lack of card machines at UAL was a topic frequently discussed during last terms student rep meetings.
At meetings course reps said….
1. The price of food in the canteen is too high
2. UAL needs to immediately place card machines in all canteens
3. Canteens should stop charging for cutlery
4. The opening hours of college canteens are not long enough
What’s more, in our 2013/14 SU Survey we asked you “what would like us to change on your course, college or university” and many of you said focus on changing the high price of food or the fact that you cannot pay on card.
Based on this feedback we are making it a priority this term to lobby the university to address these four problems.

Counter-'Terrorism' Bill: Joint Unions statement
The counter terrorism bill is a pernicious piece of legislation which must be opposed. We call on University of the Arts London to submit a critical response to the consultation and to threaten non-compliance with PREVENT; we urge other Students’ Unions to make similar demands and we ask the leadership of sector trade unions to take a strong stance on this too.

Calling all students and the recent graduates, we are looking for wall based art submissions based around the experience and issues that LGBTQ students face in the Creative Industries.
The Exhibition will be part of a series of events called ‘Unspoken Barriers: LGBTQ, Understanding Duality’...
EVENT: art school curriculum: Pale, Male, Stale?
Why is it that only a small percentage of what we learn, see and hear about in our art schools and galleries comes from the majority of the world: Women and non-white people?
Institutional racism and sexism has for centuries shut a wealth of talent out. It has reinforced white, western patriarchal perspectives on art and design as the ‘norm’.

Employment Advice: How can we help?
Did you know that the Students’ Union offers employment advice?
Your Students’ Union Advice Service can now offer you support on Employment Rights, but we need you help to improve this service.
We’re looking for UAL students to participate in Focus Groups this month. This a unique opportunity to make sure that what we’re doing suits your needs.

SUARTS contribute to the TFL consultation on the design of a new public square in Elephant & Castle
As you might already know, in 2015 Transport for London (TfL) will begin implementing changes to the Elephant & Castle junction. The changes include:
· Removing the roundabout by closing the southern side and converting traffic to two-way operation.
· Replacing the subways with pedestrian crossings.
· Introducing a number of new cycle lanes around the junction.
With LCC situated at the heart of these changes, I wanted to make sure that your opinions were taken into account by decision makers at TfL. We conducted a survey at LCC to gather your views on the proposed plans and make sure every LCC student has an opportunity to share their thoughts or concerns about the proposals. Over 150 of you took part in the survey.
Based on your suggestions and concerns, SUARTS made three recommendations to TfL:
1. Minimise disruption to LCC students and local residents during the construction.
Most of you will have graduated by the time construction work is completed and massive disruption to the area would have a negative impact on your at LCC. Therefore, TfL needs to take all necessary steps to reduce disruption to current students.
2. Focus on creating safe cycling provision and expanding the capacity of cycle lanes around the junction.
The majority of LCC students are particularly concerned with providing a safe environment for cyclists. TfL must prioritise the provision of segregated cycle lanes that have the capacity to handle the volume of cyclists that use the junction. Having cyclists share lanes with buses or other traffic is not an acceptable option as it creates potential conflicts between cyclists, pedestrians and other vehicles.
3. Utilise the creativity and skills of LCC students.
TfL should work with LCC students when developing the art and design aspects of this new public space and utilise the abundance of talent and expertise at the college.
We will continue lobbying both TfL and LCC, to make sure that the changes take into consideration LCC students’ needs and foster a greater sense of community in the area.
