Presidential Column | Issue 6

Garoo Scarfies,

Fucking tits I’m busy this week. I’ve been getting my campaign to win the two seats on University Council for myself and my Vice-President Jono off the ground so that we can move some mountains. We’ve done a heap of awesome work on Council so far this year with us both already holding the two Council seats so are going to bring it on home for ya’s! Keep an eye out for it in a few weeks time.

What a week, all the Hyde St debriefs, even some Ori debriefs still going on figuring how we can do more mean events and also include the essentials getting to grips with uni stuff too.

On the ol Hyde St chat I better clear up a few things, issues you should probably ponder if it’s going to go ahead next year...


What went well:
  • Hyde St residents being awesome
  • Glass ban (thanks guys, you rock)
  • Police, St John, OUSA staff and volunteers
  • Red Frogs and Are You OK? They deserve their own bullet point
  • The majority being awesome and having an epic time
  • Road closure

What didn’t go well according to the world:
  • Roof climbers really let the day down, fucked off the powers that be and broke themselves. Argh!
  • A few freshers getting waaaay too pissed
  • Liquor stores still selling to the munted

Ideas about how to do it next year:
  • Limit numbers, each flat gets a certain number to aid in control
  • Gold coin to help cover costs or give to charity
  • Keep the glass ban
  • Students only

Just a few ideas and hey it’s still fresh in your mind so have a think.

Also maybe you wanna give back a little? We’ve got a volunteer week after the Easter Break, it could be as simple as giving a can to our Dunedin food bank drive, we want to beat the staff so please please please give us a bit so we can waste them! There are also a range of quick short volunteering opportunities around Dunedin, and a few larger ones where we can get a group boofing some work for something awesome. Do it, come on be a Super Scarfie, join the karma army!

Love, Logan

P.S. The first ever ANZAC day on campus is coming soon so I’ll keep an ear to the ground for that one.
