Welcome to the latest issue of Student Times. In this issue we have an interview with David Beckham with whom Student Times writer James Davies spent the day with, in Los Angeles.

We also have John Sauven’s article “We need a rescue package for the planet” which is a ‘must’ read in this issue. I would ask all Students who care about what is happening to our planet to join Greenpeace and help them in their important campaigning work for the environment.

If you are interested in looking at a Gap year, then why not consider Oz Bus the experience of a lifetime on page 22.

We have our Days in Black History on the centre pages, which is part of Student Times celebration of Black History Month 2009. Also we have a £500 grant available to a Student society who would like to put on a student event next year, please apply. Get in quick with your ideas, as we only have one!
