Have a great fresher story for you, involves the best one night stand of my life with a famous rugby player and him falling in love and spending $1800 for flights for my floor mate and I to fly down to Wellington last weekend, and the latest is I am about to be flown to south africa after exams, have the sinking feeling I may have taken his v plates as I cannot find any other reason for his delusion, but the inner Bcom student in me makes it impossible to turn down a free weekend away. It's rare, unexplainable, and goes against the usual line of freshers misfortune but if you want to run it, it's yours. Maddie

What a year it has been. The naïve, innocent little first years who joined us in February are now all grown up. In fact it’s hard to believe that less than eight months ago these shameless, grubby little creatures were STI-free, respectable members of society whose parents still loved them.

This edition of “Bouncing off the Halls” was supposed to appear in next week’s Critic, but at short notice senior management sent us out into the field to see what we could find, and they weren’t disappointed.

A pleasant and arousing facet of the first year hall scene is the well-established rivalry between certain colleges. Everyone with a cerebellum still intact is aware of the notable ongoing hatred between the stuck-up Selwynites and the possibly deviant Knoxians. Then there are the less established rivalries: Arana vs. Studholme, Cumberland vs. Hayward, UniCol girls vs. dignity.

UMAT. Four letters that strike fear deep into the bosom of the deluded freshers that still actually think they’ll be getting into Med School on the back of that B+ average from first semester. Forget the clap, the can-man or crowbar-wielding, fat South Dunedin swamp-donkeys on P. The most frightening thing on the block last week was a three-hour test of your problem-solving abilities and empathy skills. This test can literally be the deciding factor between a life of fast cars, beautiful nurses and free morphine, or a lifetime spent as the physio for the second string Otago Men’s Lawn Bowls team.
