TRIPLE TROUBLE: Student presidents CAUGHT living DOUBLE LIVES in BOMBSHELL INVESTIGATION
Can You Resist A Scandalous Rumour?
1. You come back to your flat after locking in at Central for most of the day. Your favourite flatmate is cooking dinner, so you decide to hang out for a while. What is your chosen topic of conversation? A: You give them a run through of your day, no matter how boring and uneventful it was. B: You are bursting to tell them about the gossip you overheard in the Link at lunchtime. 2. Your ex deletes all of their photos with their current...Hot or Not: Trends of Otagooooooo
Student culture changes fast. One week, everyone’s in jorts and shotgunning Cody’s in their mates flat. Next, they’re wearing quarter zips, training for a half marathon, and spending $14 on a strawberry matcha because it's “better for cortisol.” Somewhere between economic collapse, gym culture, LinkedIn posting, and collective social and academic fatigue, student life shifts. The nights are quieter, the...Capping Show Review: Unleashed, Hilarious and Over Too Soon
Critic Te Ārohi, risking life and limb after publishing a not-so-positive review last year, returned to this year's Capping Show. Thankfully, we didn't have to worry. We only needed to get about 10 minutes in before realising that we weren't going to regret putting them on the front cover the other week. Breaking tradition, SQUEAL: A Capping Show Horror relied on the horror genre as a whole – its tropes and ideas...Diversify The Library: Books That Reflect Our Experience
With over twenty thousand students, Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka tauira boast a massive range of backgrounds and lived experiences. In order to reflect this range, the team behind the library has a new project: Diversify the Library (DTL). They’re working hard to have their (already expansive) catalogue be more reflective of students’ lived experiences, especially those students who are part of the University’s recognised...The Man Behind Craig Daniels: Will Murphy
Second-year Will Murphy (@willmurphycomedy) has “always been into theatre”, which makes it no surprise that when he enrolled in Otago he chose to major in Theatre Studies. With a “soft spot” for comedians, he grew up watching the likes of Rowan Atkinson (better known as his character Mr. Bean), and was influenced from a young age to become the class (or in this case, the University) clown. He first started his...Critic Te Ārohi’s (Theatrical) Guide to Mid-Year Break

Editorial: DRAMA ALERT: Tabloid is back, baby!
Welcome to the Tabloid Issue! This one is always the best. Tabloid lets us be silly, dramatic, nosy, and unserious in the way that student journalism is made for. My first exposure to the wonderful...
Proctology - 31
Critic Te Ārohi hasn’t met with Proctor Dave Scott in a while now, but he certainly hasn’t forgotten about us. With the recent snap in the weather, we were more than happy to go and pay him a visit to get out of the kind of cold that chills...
Booze Review: Purple Goannas
This week, we take you back in time to a prehistoric land. When reptiles ruled, Pint Night pints cost $5, and the first-year was fees free. You know something's been around forever when you get a nod of approval from some bloke's dad while carrying two...
Emo Boy: A Night To Forget
