Only 1 month to go!

Hi everyone!

It reached 34 Degrees to day here in Christchurch and it was really hot @ the UCSA, and yes we are officially in office.

Next week most of the student exec will be in Wellington for our first NZUSA conference as members in awhile. Looks like the agenda next week will focus on Student Allowance, and no doubt policy will be trashed around and hopefully politicians will be swayed.

Watch the UCSA front page in the next few days for Orientation'08 line up and ways to get hold of your ticket. It's only a month away till everyone gets back, and i'm very certain this years Orientation would blow your socks off! In my opinion our lineup could rival the big day out, but thats just me....

Enjoy the rest of the summer, c u.

Gday guys

I am sitting here fretting out about exam results in 3 hours. Should be a good last ever night at the 'common room'. Looking forward to start of '08 and in particular O week..

Anyway, good luck to everyone for exam results hope they go well and have a great night tonight celebrating!

Stein

Only 4 days… I mean 3 days left of the semester. Everone either furiusly working away at assignments or procrastinating (instead of studying for exams) by organising shampaign breakfasts and costums for the Stein. I don’t blame them, since there is a $500 prize for the best costume. The Exec along with next year’s exec will also be partying it up at the Stein. So feel free to say “Hi”…. in fact, I think half of the Exec are single;) Anyway see you all on Friday, at/around the Stein.

Mayoral Candidates' Debate THIS Thursday

This Thursday the UCSA hosts the Mayoral Candidates' Debate between the candidates for the Christchurch mayoralty, including frontrunners Bob Parker and Megan Woods.
This is your chance to come along and ask questions about what the candidates see their potential mayoralty achieving. There is a round of set questions, but there will be time for questions from the floor at the end.
It's at 1 p.m on Thursday, on the C-Block lawn (opposite 360 cafe, outside Central Lecture Theatres), and is scheduled to run until 2 p.m.
The Mayoral Candidates' Debate has been organised by Andrew Riches from the Exec. If you have any questions about the debate, fell free to contact him at andrewnriches@gmail.com.

Thursday Night at the Common Room
