The London School of Economics is investigating allegations that a Nazi-themed drinking game led to a brawl in which a Jewish student's nose was broken. 
 
 The inquiry relates to a skiing trip to Val d'Isère organised by the students' union last month and attended by 150 students from the university's athletics union. 
 
 According to a statement released by the LSE's Jewish society, the assault took place after a Jewish student objected to the drinking game. The violence was not serious enough for French police to be involved, a students' union source said. 
 
 The LSE said: "These are disturbing allegations relating to events which took place on a foreign trip organised by the students' union. Both the SU and LSE are investigating these events and are prepared to take disciplinary action if the allegations are shown to be true. 
 
 "Students must abide by clear standards of behaviour set by both LSE and the SU and breaches of those standards are taken very seriously. We do not tolerate antisemitism or any other form of racism." 
 
 According to the LSE's student newspaper, the Beaver, the game played was a Nazi-themed version of the drinking game Ring of Fire. This involved playing cards being arranged on a table in the shape of a swastika. Players were required to "salute the Führer", the paper said. 
 
 Jay Stoll, president of the LSE's Jewish Society, said: "Nazi glorification and antisemitism have no place in our universities, which should remain safe spaces for all students. 
 
 "There is simply no context for what has happened here. Those who believe the game was all in good humour need to realise that when a Jewish student is subject to violence and the Nazi ideology glorified it is no joke but a spiteful, collective attack on a community." 
 
 The Jewish student who suffered the injury told the Guardian: "I've seen this kind of game before, so it wasn't so much the game that offended me, as much as the antisemitic gibes that went with it. 
 
 "There was a mix of personal references and general Jewish insults. That was after I excused myself from the game. It made me extremely upset. That was the tipping point for me. It was a build-up during the game, and seeing the swastika obviously, but the comments built up to the point where I couldn't forgive myself if I let it slide. 
 
 "I feel angry about it now. There's no doubt it was an affront at my identity, but on a personal level it was extremely upsetting." 
 
 Alex Peters-Day, general secretary of the students' union, said: "This is so at odds with everything the LSE and the union stand for". 
 
 Most of the students at the university, founded by socialists Beatrice and Sidney Webb, are from overseas. 
 
 Brendan Mycock, president of the LSE athletics union, condemned what he said were the actions of "a small group of individuals". 
 
 "The athletics union prides itself on our open and tolerant nature and behaviour of this sort is not acceptable and is not an accurate representation of the behaviour we uphold ourselves to. Being in the athletics union is about being a team, behaving with respect to our team-mates and athletics union peers and representing our union and our university." 
 
 Last November the Daily Telegraph reported claims that members of the Oxford University Conservative Association regularly sang an antisemitic song with Nazi references. ||||| He was a member of the Conservative Association at the time 
 
 No, this isn’t a scene from a dystopian film about Oxbridge life. 
 
 A Cambridge University student has been filmed deliberately attempting to light a £20 note on fire in front of a homeless man on Bridge street. 
 
 A shocked passer-by watched early last Thursday morning while a drunk student in white bow tie and tails attempted to burn the £20 banknote in front of a homeless man. 
 
 The Tab understands that the attempt was by a member of CUCA who has since been expelled from the association. 
 
 The incident took place outside the Cotswold shop on Bridge Street, in the early hours of Thursday 2nd February. 
 
 A video of the event was seen by numerous Cantabs on Snapchat, and has been provided to The Tab. The images included in this article are screenshots of the video. 
 
 In the video the student struggles to light the note, whilst the video pans to the homeless person. The student says “some homeless shelter”, and the video cuts out. It has been rumoured that burning a £50 note in front of a homeless person is one of the initiation ceremonies of Oxford’s notorious Bullingdon club. 
 
 The motivations of the student, other than odiousness, are unclear. 
 
 A Cantab who encountered the student soon after the incident said, “I was blocked from getting into my college as some chap in white tie was being excluded by the porters. I saw the videos of what he did the next morning, and am utterly shocked and appalled that someone would do such a thing. I’m sure I speak on behalf of the student body when I say that we condemn such actions, and arseholes.” 
 
 White tie is the most formal dress code in Western fashion, even more so than Black tie. It is usually reserved for the highest of high profile events – like State Dinners with the Queen, Nobel Prize ceremonies, and Magdalene May Ball. 
 
 Some members of the Cambridge University Conservative Association are known to regularly wear white tie to CUCA dinners. 
 
 Cambridge University Conservative Association assured the student has been expelled from the Association and issued the following statement to The Tab: 
 
 “The CUCA committee became aware of serious allegations against a member late last week concerning his private behaviour. There is no room for people who behave like that in our Association, any other University Association, or frankly our University. We determined the appropriate response to be to revoke his membership and bar him from all future events, which we did on Saturday.” 
 
 CUCA confirmed that the burning of money was neither before or after a CUCA event. 
 
 CUCA has a number of illustrious political alumni. Prominent Tory Remainer and ex-Cabinet Minister Ken Clarke is a former Chairman, while ex-Chief Whip Andrew Mitchell and Lord Speaker Lord Fowler are both still Honorary Vice-Presidents. The Honorary President is prominent historian Andrew Roberts, author of ‘Napoleon the Great’. 
 
 This is not the first time in recent months CUCA have been embroiled in scandal. In June CUCA had to defend themselves against multiple allegations of sexism after Varsity revealed that the Women’s Officer felt she had “faced open ridicule” and “aggressive sexism”. 
 
 George Clarke, founder of Embrace Cambridge, a charity that works with homeless people in Cambridge told The Tab: “There is a disturbing precedent for intoxicated Cambridge students abusing rough sleepers in the city, but as well as calling out this disgraceful behaviour wherever we find it we can and should remember that there is a real heart for charity at this University too.” He stresses, however, that these instances are very rare. 
 
 The Senior Tutor of the individual’s college has been informed.
– A Nazi drinking game played by students from the London School of Economics sparked a brawl and ended with a broken nose, reports the Guardian. The row occurred during a ski trip taken by 150 members of the school's athletic union to Val D'Isere in France. The confrontation occurred after a Jewish student objected to the drinking game, according to the school's Jewish Society. The game involved playing cards arranged on a table in the shape of a swastika. Players were required to "salute the führer," according to the student newspaper. "Nazi glorification and anti-semitism have no place in our universities," said the head of the Jewish Society. A video of the drinking game was briefly posted on Facebook. The school is investigating. "These are disturbing allegations relating to events which took place on a foreign trip organized by the students' union," said a school statement, which added that officials are "prepared to take disciplinary action. Students must abide by clear standards of behavior. We do not tolerate anti-semitism or any other form of racism."
