Hey Vic

Hope your all going well with you essays and tests and keeping your stress levels down.

but for those of you who need to release and vent on 11th and 12th of oct, 11am-2pm,VUWSA is bringing you Art therapy. this is a not to be missed event. The Quad will be spray painted into a maze-like art piece where you will find food and club stalls, art and craft workshops. If you bring our old clothes you can get it funked up at the Art and Culture stall. Live music and performances will be brought to you by VBC and Human FM. Be sure to grab some goodies from the Free Store demo and get painting with us at the “Liberty area”. Get amongst it! this has never happened before and will possibly never happen again.

TUNE in to 88.3 FM every Thursday 1-2pm for Afternoon Delight With Alan and Masha for Activities And Clubs NEWS and events coming up.

Hope everyone enjoyed Faith week where the Campus Life set the BBQ on for the hungry students and let those with a curiosity for the unknown get infomation and basically enjoy the day.

Healthy lifestyles week porvided students with free fruit and tomato soup and infomation on how to better improve their eating habits

I apologize to Sarah Robson for the lateness of this column but Blues awards needed helpers and I did my best to help out.

Keep well and look out for VUWSA Campus Life Team (Masha Kupriyenko and Alan Young) and the events coming up!!!

Dear Victoria Students,

I hope you all enjoyed Re-Orientation and caught up with your friends. Thanks to all those who attended VUWSA Speed Dating, Poker Night Round 1, gigs, and the movie night.

Speed Dating take 2? I have got some people telling me to host another so if I get enough interested participants to email me in my contact email below I will endeavour to host another event.

Don’t forget that if you are feeling the winter pinch for whatever reason come see us at the VUWSA office. If you need a little help in the food supply Come visit VUWSA for a food bank parcel and free bread every Wednesday and Friday.

If you are looking for something new to do this trimester, why not join one of Rep Groups that are on campus? They put on regular events and meetings and there are groups for queer students, law, commerce, architecture and design, Pasifika, international, media, women and disabled. There are contact details and information on the VUWSA website.

Editor’s note: We don’t edit the exec columns, we print them as submitted. Why you may ask? It specifies in the Editor’s job description that the President’s Column is to be “unedited subject to libel laws”. General exec members play by the same rules. An offer of assistance with spelling and grammar was extended to exec members at the beginning of the year. As yet, no one has approached Salient for advice or help. And so we will continue to print the exec columns untouched. It’s more fun that way.
