'Or a book?'

No, dear friends. The Spine is that lovely little walkway you use to travel around the university, the one that often becomes a wind tunnel in the dreary Lancaster rain. (Read more here). Now it's something every student can be a part of. We're feeling as pleased as this otter who just nailed that shot.

So what are we looking for? Well, loyalty, of course. Once you're a SCANner, you're always a SCANner.

Most importantly, we want you to be a part of it so we can share this exciting new writing opportunity with everyone.

Have you got something you want to talk about that every Lancastrian can relate to? Or even every student?

For example, 5 ways of dealing with extremely long lectures?

Easy Tiger.

Or things you will inevitably spot in Alex Square?

This is the year that SCAN goes viral.
