Write for impact...Now!
Monday, 22 February, 2010
So, how many students at this university enjoy writing? How many have considered a career in journalism? And, how many are members of Impact? Well, I only know the answer to the final question; Impact has 63 members. That is 63 out of a University population of about 12,000. During my time at university I have always been surprised at how little interest students seem to take in contributing to their newspaper. |

Splish splash splosh!
Monday, 22 February, 2010
Splish, splash, splosh! Slowly ease your fingers into the trifle. Feel the softly whipped cream caress your skin and the tantalising change of the solid jelly and the moist sponge. Your body is trembling with excitement and desire as you lift the bowl brimmed with pleasure and thrust it against your body. Welcome to the wonderfully naughty world of Sploshing. |

Fringe Concern (Owl City)
Number one or not, Owl City are never anything more than pleasantly safe, writes Hazell Moore
Monday, 22 February, 2010
Artist: Owl CIty Owl City have ballooned out of nowhere with a huge surge towards their new single ‘Fireflies’. You’ll be hearing it on the radio, in shops and some modest remixes in the clubs. If you like the simple electronic beat and the heavy American accent of this single, then I would suggest you look to the album for similar tunes. |

Time marches on: seeking immortality
Monday, 22 February, 2010
Ah yes, ageing. It’s a natural obstacle that we all face – and it’s all downhill from here, according to our mardy bum elders. Good news everyone: wrinkles, creaking joints and drooping (yes, you heard me) are features of ageing that we can all look forward to. Hooray! If only we could avoid this metamorphosis and live forever as spritely twenty-somethings. Which leads me to ask: is there a secret to living forever, be it an instant Dungeons & Dragons-esque remedy or simply a wise choice of lifestyle? Even then, is eternal life physically possible? |

Our first 2good feature this week couldn’t seem more quaint and/or patronising if it tried, but for once in this newspaper, we mean it. So congratulations to Elena Baltacha (pictured, rbotton right, who won the Corning Classic in Michigan , beating top seed Lucie Hradecka in the final. It’s been a great start to 2010 for Baltacha, reaching the third round of the Australian Open, and her success in the US has seen her rise to a career-high ranking of 70. She recently advanced to the quarter-final of the CellularSouth Cup, where she was beaten by Maria Sharapova, the eventual winner. |

BATH UNIVERSITY 4 LEEDS UNIVERSITY 2
Monday, 22 February, 2010
For me, winning isn’t something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and every night that you dream.” (Emmitt Smith, American Football player) The Men’s Hockey First Team have been religiously training over the past few weeks in preparation to take on the Northern Force of Leeds University. It was through this training that Bath took to the field with an air of confidence that has been characteristic of this team this year. |
