Newspaper
The Prism (1938)
An annual magazine created by the students association, its aim was to record the permanent achievements of students association and to reflect the well-studied opinions of students.
Fox
Foxtail is a weekly publication which seeks to inform Students about the Union, NUS and student affairs generally. Although theorectically an off-spring of Fox magazine, it is completely independent of Executive and the various Union committees. It is free, and welcomes all contributions, i.e. letters, short articles and particularly any 'inside' information on any aspects of Union activity. Foxtail is a publication that tries to effectively reach students in order to inform them about the latest news around campus. It also wants student contrib utions because they need stories in order to fill the paper. Very little is rejected and there is no censorship!
The Strongest period for Foxtail maagzine ran between the years, 1974 to 76, which consisted of 16 pages and gained considerable revenue from advertising.
The last two years after 1976 was a difficult period for Foxtail with only two issues appearing in 1978 and only one in the previous year. The problem was finding the people to run the magazine. They lacked a substantial editorial board, which was necessary to spread the work load and responsibility.

Catch is the LPSU newspaper, now entering its third year (1989-90). It has its very own office on the Arena floor, which is open every dinnertime. It is a 16 page tabloid and it is published fortnightly. It compromises of four entertainment pages, 2 clubs and society pages and several featured pages.
