bevis you butthead... it was drawn by a child...my eight year old daughter.
check your facts, or get a less demanding job.

Dear Editors,
I found it a little amusing that in St. John's postroom, last weeks OxStu with the word "SHIT" on the front page was turned to face downwards, your current edition with a topless woman on the front was not...
On a more serious point, what is the point? Shock tactics don't make the paper look good, they just make you all look like fools.
On a slightly less serious point, I like to put the OxStu on my coffee table so that people who haven't seen it (or whatever) can pick it up and flick through it. But the $64,000 question is: will my girlfriend be impressed if I have a topless woman on my coffee table?
In conclusion, I didn't mind the shit, 'cos it was a humourous one-off, but the toplessness is gratuitous on the front page.

Sirs,
May I request that in future you fulfil your editorial responsibilities and ensure that when I enter the lodge to pick up an OxStu I am not confronted by some golden-chested ginger-haired bint with her tits out. I think the time has come for a "Not In Our Name" campaign against some of OUSU's more unpleasant publicity-grabbing antics...

Which is worse? That a graduate of Cambridge University cannot spell a simple word correctly, or that an editorial team from Oxford University does not correct him?
From Alexander Faludy's recent letter:
"...amused by "Story's from Tabland Vol 1". Personally I'd say that Cambridge is vastly prettierbut far more tame..."
"Story's"? Come on!
Must try harder.
