Founded in 1964, some twenty years previous to its rival, it is seen as the more 'upmarket' of the two newspapers. It has changed dramatically in outlook and presentation over the years, being known at one point as the Nouse Co-operative or NouseCoop, and presenting itself as a samizdat publication throughout the 1980s. In recent years the paper has comically been referred to as 'No-Use' by students seeing the continuation of both nouse and Vision being financially questionable.
