Well done.

Funny that Universities agree to boycott this or that product, and some university bans Viz magasine for being sexist, but ARMS DEALERS, PEOPLE WHO SELL GUNS AND BOMBS manage to creep under their radar.

Keep your eyes peeled, universities are business like any other, profit is the bottom line.

I think Bill posters is correct - except also to say that profit is probably both the top and bottom line with the "so called universities" these days.

Well done the student activist lot - for their leafletting and banner - showing.
Please keep on keeping on with that.

I wonder if they are aware that there is a mainstream Sheffield Campaign Against the Arms Trade, and that there is a CAAT public meeting - on BAe - on Weds 14th November at 7pm, Broomhall Centre, Broomspring Lane.

Speakers are Ann Feltham - C.A.A.T. and Tony Hildyard - from The Corner House.

Plug over. SHAME on the University for having those nasty, evil warmongers on - or anywhere near, the Campus......year on year mind you!!

Fight war not wars.

Keep in mind mate that Sheffield University along with Hallam (and about 10 to 15 uni's nationwide) are part of the OTC; the Officers Training Core. Originally set up for Public schools such as Eton, Harrow and Stowe, the OTC is the TA for kids - they become 'members' of the British Army for which they are paid, by the taxpayer of course, wear uniforms, do drills and army training such as war games, shooting and toasting the queen. The OTC is run by genuine soldiers who will have probably been in Ireland or Iraq, but the students are not committed to the army in any way. The TA can actually be called up but the OTC can't. The whole exercise is intended to give the next business leaders and politicians a sympathetic view of the armed forces, to make them feel part of the team, complicit. Many do go into the army from the OTC, but not at entry level (the hint is in the 'Officer' part) - they are advanced as of course their class background demands. The OTC is the the reason why the upper class went straight into safe officer positions under conscription in the first World War whilst normal people were used as cannon fodder.

Considering the OTC is not simply tolerated but a PROUD PART of the university, allowed to recruit freely throughout the University i don't think the institution will feel much shame over allowing a few gun runners into their careers day.
