First Issue is on the Way!

I sent the first edition of Perspectives to the printers yesterday and I am hoping to have a few hundred to distribute on campus by the end of the week.

A massive thanks to everyone who contributed. I was amazed at how much was sent in and genuinely surprised at how quality it all was. Because of this, please do not be disheartened if your article has not made the first printed issue. I had three times as many articles as I could print! Also I have decided to pair up many articles to give each edition themes. For example in the first issue you will see two articles on MPs expenses. For the next issue I have several articles on education and Russia that I want to put into sections.

Anyone who missed the deadline don't give up! Please send me contributions anytime and I will put them on the blog and possibly print them in the next issue.
