Sll 3 were successfully elected to these posts. James unfortunately was in America for {{unsure|some time}} following the AGM, and so Rowan, as new Studio Manager, was left as acting SD. Not a lot of note happened during this time in YSTV itself, it was just business as usual. Generally YSTV was doing well, having increased its membership considerably thanks to the efforts of the [[Gang of Four]], and the [[YSTV Clean-Up]] which had happened recently made the place look better and brought the team together. | Sll 3 were successfully elected to these posts.

==URY In Bars== | |||
The first problems came due to the debate over the playour of URY in campus bars. Whilst out of the country, James had been in contact with Tim {{unsure|surname?}} and Matt Fullerton or URY (Matt was not an active member of YSTV at this point) about proposed plans for URY to be broadcast in campus bars using Rediffusion. James had responded on behalf of YSTV stating that ''it would be unfair for URY to be allowed to broadcast in campus bars'', stating that it would cut off YSTV's main distribution medium. | |||
[[Richard Ash]] sent an email to Rowan, Jen, [[Jonathan]] and [[Dave]] stating that ''James Flinders didn't seem to think the rest of you needed to see the attached email'' [the one sent by James to Matt and Tim] ''I think you do.'' He also sent a message to Matt and Tim pointing out that James ''doesn't seem to have consulted anyone else in YSTV'', and asked that they wait until the issue had been taken to a station meeting and stating that he could not ''preempt that decision in either direction''. | |||
Richard's feeling was that a decision of this magnitude should not be taken by any single YSTV member (Station Director or not), and that giving a specific response without consulting a station meeting was wrong of James. | |||
The general feeling expressed by those who Richard emailed was that URY in bars would have to be carefully negotiated, but was not ''necessarily'' a point-blank no. However the key issue with regards to this article was James acting on behalf of a supposedly democratic society without proper consultation. Few would doubt he had good intentions, but many were angered about his methods. |
