I'm Matt, a finalist at Queen's reading History and English. I've been involved with the OxStu for the past year, and edited the Stage section last term. This term I'm editing the News section along with Adam, and I'm hoping to preserve our position as the most on-the-ball news source at Oxford - and to avoid the sloppy standards of some of our competitors!
