Phoebe Luckhurst

Director and Editor Easter 2010

Catz, English

Phoebe has spent two almost two years documenting her woeful existence in a weekly installment, Tab Rates vs Tab Slates, that increasingly became the therapy that her repressed parents would never fund. Now considering taking finals seriously after her Director of Studies expressed concern about her lack of 'critical faculties' (apparently tabloid journalism isn't particularly useful for developing these skills). This term Phoebe hopes to earn the £90 she owes the English Faculty Library so that she may be able to graduate. Fingers crossed.
