Editorial: Dude, Where’s my Castle Host?

Posted 10:05pm Tuesday 18th July 2023 by Fox Meyer

I’ve heard talk that Castle hasn't had an open host since O-Week. What’s up with that? Ya scared?   If you live on Castle, you have a communal responsibility to throw open hosts beyond the bare minimum dates of O- and Re-O-Weeks. That’s what Castle is known for, and Read more...

Editorial: Vic Uni’s Student Mag SCANDAL

Posted 5:22pm Monday 29th May 2023 by Fox Meyer

Victoria University Wellington has joined Otago University in announcing substantial job cuts in the wake of financial strain. Because of course they did, they’re always trying to copy us. The announcement that Otago will be entering a newer, slimmer staffing era (so chic!) sent ripples Read more...

Editorial: Music to My Ears

Posted 4:10pm Sunday 21st May 2023 by Fox Meyer

As it’s music month, I can’t think of any better time to introduce this gem from the past: ACT MP David Seymour’s first appearance on the decks as a DJ, from back in his days as a student at Auckland Uni. This is honestly such an important part of NZ music culture and I Read more...

Editorial: Conespiracy

Cone theft from George Street is costing the DCC $40k a year, and students are copping the blame. Can’t be surprised, though: Dunedin students love cones of many varieties. We broke this story last week, which was picked up by Stuff, Spinoff, Seven Sharp and the Breakfast Show. Not that any Read more...

Really didn't know what to write about this week, so here’s how I caused a minor rabies scare in rural Ohio. I started out attending uni at a shit school in the shittest state in the entirety of America: Ohio. I only went because they gave me money and I will never forgive them for it. Read more...

Editorial: why capitalism is actually great for the environment

Posted 2:42pm Sunday 23rd April 2023 by Fox Meyer

Thanks to Margret Thatcher (#girlboss) and a few other legends, we all get to live in the wonderful world of industrial capitalism. They also call it neoliberalism, which is like Neopets but for money. It’s very slay and cute. We get to use this thing called “the market” that Read more...

Editorial: You have a problem that drugs can’t fix

Posted 11:45am Sunday 16th April 2023 by Fox Meyer

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it a million times: there’s a damn good reason so many of you think you have ADHD. Or autism. Or whatever it is that’s in fashion at the moment. It might seem “normal” to us, having grown up with it, but the current idea of what Read more...

Editorial: Ocean’s Eleven Bar and Grill

Posted 2:58pm Sunday 2nd April 2023 by Fox Meyer

Avid readers will remember the year’s first issue, in which we talked about how Eleven Bar couldn't be bothered with boring legal stuff like fire or food safety (yawn) and breached the Sale and Supply of Liquor Act from nineteen-ninety-whatever. Cracking stuff, right? Well, no, we know Read more...

Editorial: Try the Broccoli

Posted 4:01pm Sunday 26th March 2023 by Fox Meyer

Who do you trust more: a kid that’s never tried broccoli but insists he doesn’t like it, or a kid who says he doesn’t like it because he’s tried it once? Anyway, in this editorial I’m going to explain why it’s less gay to suck one dick than it is to never suck a Read more...

Editorial: The Silence of the Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos

Posted 2:42pm Sunday 19th March 2023 by Fox Meyer

I cannot stress how much interviewing Sid (page 20) felt like interviewing Hannibal Lector.   We started off in the aviary’s kitchen, getting a safety debrief. We were told that this individual was highly intelligent, that he has a history with visitors, and not to let him get too Read more...
