Sports
The Sports section contains a mixture of match reports from LSE teams and comment on world sports. Has courted controversy in the past with its traditionally dismissive approach to the sporting efforts of rival universities. Highlight of the year was traditionally the last Sports section before Christmas, containing photos of the Athletic Union Barrel. This caused particular controversy in 2005 after printing a photo of LSE Director at the event which ended up causing considerable damage to King's Strand campus in December 2005.
In 2000, The Beaver's James Mythen won Sports Writer of the Year at the Guardian Student Media Awards.
