The father of Claudia Lawrence has said he finds it “incredible” that no one has come forward with new information since a possible sighting
of his daughter. In response to the recent outbreak of swine flu, the university has set up a Major Incident Response Team. The University of York has been ranked tenth in The Independent’s university guide, up one place from last year. Younger said: “This year I am looking to transform Langwith and Derwent into a trippy, sexy WonDerland – every room and outdoor space has a different theme and we have injected bucketfuls of creativity into the theming and decorations to ensure that people literally feel like they have stepped into another world.” She further explained that “each room will be themed differently and decorated to the max so people will literally feel like they have stepped into wonderland.” The actors that were used in the promotional video, viewable below, will be present at the event providing further entertainment. Students can also look forward to shisha with the caterpillar and be involved in the Mad Hatter’s tea-party. What is different about this year’s event is that Big D has “expanded to offer a sister event: Little D, which will take place during the day,” claims Younger. This event will portray the more innocent side of the wonderland, with croquet on the lawn, a tea-party tent, traditional f&ecircte-style stalls.
There will also be society performances from Dance Soc and York Cheerleading, and a barber shop quartet and more. On top of that there is Colourscape, a contemporary interactive art work.
