As Women’s Officers this year we will put gender inequality back on the agenda through active campaigning and by hosting both debates and meetings. We plan to hold self-confidence and self-defence classes and workshops; create networks with other women’s liberation groups and campaign on local and national women’s rights issues. We will also offer our support to women at Goldsmiths on matters of harassment and discrimination. Our aim is to create a safe space and a community for women at Goldsmiths and actively work for the improvement of Women’s Rights in wider society. Email: womensofficer@su.gold.ac.uk

Disabled Students Officer Frances Ward
I intend to be a point of contact for students suffering from any form of disability and to offer support where necessary, for example when meeting with the Disability Team or with departmental staff. Once a week I will be holding an open surgery so that students with any concerns regarding their disability can come and speak to me, and I will also be available by email. As well as looking after the interests of individual students, I also want to help to make the campus as accessible as possible to everybody. Email: disabledstudentsofficer@su.gold.ac.uk

International Students Officer Moon Zheng I want to help new international students feel comfortable and thus enjoy their life more at Goldsmiths. I am proud that we have students from over 60 countries studying here, something that contributes to the cultural and ethnic diversity that makes Goldsmiths so unique. I will organise events for international students and give everyone a chance to present their own country and culture. This year, I will promote cooperation between societies, to create a space to learn about where we come from. Email: internationalstu-

How does the Students’ Union work? Involvement
Plans to Change
Right now it’s very difficult for students to get involved with what goes on in their Union because we underwent a Governance change that removed Student Meetings and effectively transformed direct democracy into representative democracy.
In fact, we have a policy condemning our own governance structure as ‘undemocratic, top-down and disempowering to students’.
This was because New Labour has been pushing the Charity Commission to introduce new laws that require Charities (of which we are one) to register their Trustees. This was disingenuously distorted by the NUS and Students’ Union managers who pushed Students’ Unions to create Trustee Boards with external (unelected) Trustees. The only ways students can get involved with Union policy making is to call Referenda or Open Meetings. No student called either of these last year. This may be because it’s prohibitively difficult to call a Referendum (300 signatures required) and because Open Meetings don’t have any power to make decisions. This means that while the current team of Officers welcome your involvement, the structure itself actually limits what you can do.
There was a referendum in February 2009 on whether the Students’ Union should bring into force the former constitution from 2004. The student body voted 299 for and 334 against, resulting in no changes. This year we hope to bring back Student Meetings, where all are equal and have the power to vote. If you’d like to get involved in making this change happen, contact: Jennifer.Jones@gold.ac.uk Get Elected All the liberation officers on the previous pages have been elected into their positions, and sit on the Student Assembly to represent sections of the student body. You can sit on the Student Assembly as your departmental rep! Look out for info on the elections in the new academic year! Get Involved
Who Makes Decisions? Elected Officers are the only people whose votes count. This is disempowering to the rest of students whose votes are meaningless. Currently there are four full-time sabbatical officers (often called ‘sabbs’) and 29 parttime student officers who are elected each year to run the Students’ Union. For a college of around 8,000 students we don’t need this kind of representative democracy in which decisions are made at Assembly Meetings that often only have 12 people present. Instead we can all participate together in open forums for collectivised democracy.
Later in this guide, you will see information on various sports clubs and societies that Goldsmiths Students’ Union has to offer. Run and led by students for other students. The great thing about sports clubs and societies here is that students are encouraged to get their own ideas off the ground. Don’t see something you like? Get it started! The Students’ Union has elected officers and staff to support you in doing that.

Goldsmiths students are not one coherent homogenised being with a single unified expression. We are the make-up of a multiplicity of persons who embody a multiplicity of differing philosophies, interests, art forms, personalities, religions, cultures and more. Now, it is SMITHS role to represent this complexity. And it does so by providing a field for the battle of thought, for challenges to representation and for the struggle of ideas both in print and online. www.smiths.gold.ac.uk
The Magazine With SMITHS you can socially interact, vent, debate and stay in tune 24/7. What ever your interest, from media to art, music to comedy, politics to design or DIYing to economics SMITHS is your platform for exploration and expression. Contact Zeke Morgan, Editor editor@smiths.gold.ac.uk
Your New Student Newspaper from the Students’ Union The Free Press was established to fill a void in communication at Goldsmiths and for the first time in decades Goldsmiths has a student paper written by students for students. With the majority of articles solely about Goldsmiths, we aim to contribute to the student community and ensure greater communication between the Union and students.
The ‘Free’ in Free Press reminds us that it’s independent, ‘free’ of commercial influence as well as being free to pick up! Regular sections are News, Features, Culture, Politics, Out & About, Comment, Debate and Sport. We aim to provide an outlet for student journalism and to ensure that students have a publication that keeps them in the know about all that’s happening at Goldsmiths.
MIG is a student/artist-led intiative that provides the student body with opportunities to build contacts and utilise networks that promote creative and interdisciplinary work within Goldsmiths and its alumni, the local community, and London’s creative & cultural industries. Space will be provided to showcase creative talent via the shop, The Gallery and online. Through events such as the monthly MiG Marketplace, students will also have the opportunity to derive revenue from their creative outputs in a safe, innovative and fun environment.
Contributors Wanted! If you’d like to contribute photographs, reviews, comment pieces, rant about a burning political issue or just write about your unique experience of Goldsmiths/New Cross/the world then email the editor, your Campaigns & Communications Officer at Jennifer.Jones@gold.ac.uk
The Gallery is a multi-disciplinary space dedicated to showcasing art produced primarily by Goldsmiths students and alumni, closely associated with the Made in Goldsmiths initiative.

Palestine Twinning Campaign In solidarity with Palestinian students since 2006 The twinning campaign was first devised by students in 2006, who overwhelming voted to twin with Al Quds Open University (QOU), a university in Palestine that caters for over 60,000 students in a country where the freedom of movement, and consequently education, is restricted and constantly denied.
In 2008 we hosted a delegation from QOU and in April 2009 a delegation of over 20 Goldsmiths students and staff visited the West Bank and QOU where we were warmly received. All those who went agreed it was a life changing experience and so will now be an annual event the Students’ Union organises. The campaign is all about solidarity. Palestinians suffer a horrific occupation that expels them from their land, restricts their movements and every day activities, and regularly detains and kills innocent people. All
this is done with impunity thanks to the complicity of the international community. Our twinning campaign fights for the rights of Palestinians, especially students. In February 2009, in response to the massive wave of student occupations over the Gaza bombardment, we organised an occupation of Deptford Town Hall where university management hold their offices. As a result we won full scholarships for the next ten years for Palestinian students and will be welcoming out first scholars this year.
Students occupying Deptford Town Hall
This year we have a host of campaigns, from fighting to free student prisoners to volunteering in refugee camps in Palestine. We want everyone to feel like they can get involved – whether you’re part time, full time, postgrad or fresher. We hold meetings every Tuesday at 5.15pm in the Stephen Lawrence room to discuss our activities, and you can join the mailing list to be kept updated by sending your email address to palestine@su.gold.ac.uk

Campaigns 2009
Goldsmiths: Not For Profit Campaigning is at the heart of every Students’ Union and at Goldsmiths we have a long and proud history of student activism. Campaigns can and do make a difference so get involved. This year we’ve got a host of campaigns. Check out the following pages to find out more.
No More Halls Rents Rises Management this year is increasing Halls of Residence rents by 6%: the largest increase in decades. At the same time, Student Loans will not rise at all. That means students will receive no more funding but on average will have to pay £400 more in rent this year. Your Union will be campaigning this year for a freeze on Halls rent from 2010.

Last Year's Campaigns: The Nursery
Campaigns & Communications Officer Jennifer.Jones@gold.ac.uk
Repeal the new immigration rules New international students who apply for a Visa or extension from March 2009 will be required to have an ID Card and have their finger prints on Home Office records. New legislation will also result in international students’ attendance records being given to the UK Board Agency. We’re planning to run a practical campaign against the new rules, with tshirts planned saying “I’m not a Boarder Agent” for staff. Make sure to get yourself a t-shirt reading “Please don’t spy on me”. We’re also planning co-ordinated protests outside the UK Border Agency with other university groups.
Last summer senior management attempted to outsource the on-campus nursery to a privately run operation.Your Union ran a joint campaign with the UCU and Unison arguing that the proposed nursery was of a lesser quality, could not
guarantee parents would not be charged more and was too far from campus. Senior management eventually agreed that no local nurseries at the time were found to be suitable and our nursery was saved!

Teach In
and
Campaign Launch
This year’s‘Annual Teach-In’ will take place on Wednesday 11th November with the theme ‘Is Our Future Past?’. A ‘Teach-In’ is an afternoon of lectures given by staff from across all departments on a given theme with a final rally of students, staff and external speakers.
Each lecture will discuss various aspects of what our future will look like. Prospective topics include the future of media, the future of feminism and of course, the future of education. The ‘Final Rally’ is where we plan to take major action in the 24 Hour Library campaign so make sure to attend!
Last year Senior Management were in talks
Last Year's with a private construction company, ‘INTO’ Campaigns: with proposals to sell off part of Goldsmiths No To 'Into' land to open a privately run language learning centre for international students. The SU and
UCU campaigned against this.With mounting pressure Senior Management quickly agreed that they would not be pursing plans to sell off any part of Goldsmiths campus to a private contractor.
Campaigns 2009: Goldsmiths: Not For Profit
No Trust In The Goldsmiths Trust Goldsmiths is currently going through a period of negotiation to enter into a ‘Trust’ Federation with 3 local schools merging under one governance structure. This means that the schools’ governance will be limited to a ‘Board of Trustees’, not a ‘Board of Governors’ and will include no parent representation. It will further move the school out of the democratic control of the Local Education Authority. Why is this bad for Goldsmiths? The majority of staff in the Education Department at Goldsmith oppose the proposals and see it as a way of privatising education. There is a local community campaign against the proposals involving parents,
Next Meeting: 6th October ‘No Trust in the Goldsmiths Trust’
Lewisham NUT, local councillors, and Goldsmiths UCU and Students’ Union. We fear the Trust will damage the reputation of our College as we are seen to be undertaking actions that the local community oppose. Why are Goldsmiths entering into the Trust? Senior Management claims it is to make ‘wider links with the community’ but the Education Department already does this. The actual reason is that by entering into the ‘Trust’ school Goldsmiths will be guaranteed a space on the Trustee Board making decisions about how these 3 local schools are ran.
Speakers: Mellissa Benn, Education campaigner Michael Rosen, Laureate and Educationalist Martin Powell, Lewisham NUT
Your Union was one of the many across the
Last Year's country that supported and helped organise the Campaigns: National Demonstration for Free Education Free Education that took place last February. This year we aim to again support the

Campaigns 2009: Goldsmiths: Not For Profit The F-word: Women’s Rights Campaigning
Despite the feminist movements of the 60s and 70s, sexism, objectification and gender inequality persist. Women are not promoted nor waged the same as their male colleagues, do not have rights to their own reproductive bodies and are constantly being bombarded with sexist media in the form of Page Three and plastic surgery advertising. Over 65% of the student body at Goldsmiths is female. To represent and fight for their rights we will this year be campaigning on the following issues:
Miss-Ogynist Campaign
Just when you thought Beauty Pageants had been consigned to the dustbin of history and discarded as backwards and antiquated, we have seen their re-introduction across the country. Last year saw the second year of the so-called ‘Miss University of London’ which has targeted young female students from across the capital to be judged on their looks. These contests form part of a culture where women are seen as no more than objects. In a society where women are constantly being told to lose weight, tone up, be ‘pretty’ these contests are enforcing sexism and misogynist stereotypes. Sexism with irony is still sexism.
Rape Crisis Campaign
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, last year promised to continue funding the Croydon Rape Crisis Centre, as well as three new centres across the city. This promise has not been kept. At the same time the number of reported rapes in the capital shot up by 14.5% last year (and that is only the reported rapes which is said to be just 10% of the actual number). We will actively campaign for the opening and the funding of the promised rape crisis centres in the city by pressuring the Mayor through demos and direct actions. While violence against women remains, women need these centres to be able to get advice, support and help. Get involved in this campaign to show Boris that this is an issue that London students will not let him get away with.
Abortion Rights Campaign
Women are still fighting for their reproductive rights as the UK law gives doctors the power to decide over a woman’s own body. At the same time women in Northern Ireland are forced to cross the sea and then pay for private appointments in Britain as abortions are still illegal in Northern Ireland. The Abortion Rights Campaign will actively be putting pressure on the British Government to support the legalisation of abortions in Northern Ireland, and for the British law to be amended so that the power lies in the hand of the woman. After various student societies voiced their
Last Year's opposition to the private catering company Campaigns: Scolarest which runs the College’s catering we Anti Scolarest decided to campaign for College to bring cater-
ing back in-house to improve quality and value.
As part of this campaign the Union set up its own alternative: Café Nutura in the Common Room. Make sure to check it out!

Advice Services at your Students’ Union Advice
Officer Support
The Students’ Union Advice Centre is staffed by a full-time Advice Services Co-ordinator and provides professional, independent advice on issues relating to academic programmes. The confidential advice and information on offer can cover a wide range of academic related matters.
Bindz Patel (bindz@gold.ac.uk) is your Welfare and Education Officer, representing and supporting you on academic and pastoral issues. The Students’ Union is separate from the university and our priority is to enhance the student experience.
We can help guide you through the processes and procedures who specialises in complaints and appeals. The aim of the Advice Service is to empower you with the knowledge you need to resolve your situation yourself. We can accompany you to meetings with your department and to hearings if appropriate to act as moral support and even sign post you to other support services if you need non-course related advice. We work closely with Student Support Services in the College to ensure you get a holistic resolution to your problem. Pop in and see us; if we can’t help you, we’re sure to know somebody who can!
You may have some ups and downs during your time at Goldsmiths and if things do get a bit rough and you encounter problems of any kind, there are staff and student officers specifically here to support you. Whether it’s course issues, housing, physical and/or mental health issues, money or you feel a bit low, the Union is here to advise and refer you to the right support services. Some of these issues are widely felt by many and together we can also campaign for change so others do not face the same challenges. We hope that your experience at Goldsmiths will be great and where it is not we will strive to make it better.
Advice Centre Opening Times Drop In (without appointment): Monday - Friday 10.00 - 12.00 Appointment Only: Monday - Friday 14.00 - 16.00 To make an appointment please email: suadvice@gold.ac.uk Alternatively you can phone 020 8692 1406 during normal office hours
Advice and Support for Women We live in a society in which rape, sexual assault and sexual violence are regular features. It may seem irrelevant to you right now but these things are not uncommon and it’s likely you know several people who have been affected by
one or more of these issues. Trust your instincts; if you feel uncomfortable in a situation, it’s probably for a reason so get yourself out of it. Remember that it’s your body and your choice. Speak to people about any concerns you have or seek the help or advice of someone you trust. If anything happens or if you’re concerned about something that may have happened in the past, check out the helplines on this page.

Top travel Tips Get yourself an Oyster card
HOW: £3 deposit from any ticket office BUT: THEY DON’T WORK ON ALL TRAIN SERVICES YET so get yourself a railcard as well
WHAT: £1 bus fares & cheapest tube, dlr & tram fares
HOW: from your local Rail station for £26 for a year and even if you’re not under 25 you’re entitled to one if you’re in full-time study. You’ll need a passportsized photo and proof of ID
Get a National Rail ’18-25 Railcard’ from your local Rail station WHAT: These entitle you to 1/3 off all Rail travel. This means that a return ticket to Central London (eg. London Bridge or Charing Cross) would cost you just £2.30 instead of £3.50.
HOW: Apply online at www.tfl.gov.uk with a digital photograph and a debit or credit card. You’ll need to be enrolled with the University before you can apply
If you’re living in or around the New Cross area you may not need an Oyster Student Photocard (£5 per year) but if you’re travelling through Central London on a regular basis or commuting to College then you’ll likely find it best value to get yourself one of these
Train travel
Goldsmiths is in the heart of New Cross which, despite being just six minutes from London Bridge, suffers from confusing transport options. Here’s the deal:
Until June 2010 when the new ‘Overground’ line extension will come into operation, New Cross is connected only by regular train services and buses. closest stations are
The New Cross & New
Cross Gate (each less than a five minute walk from campus) both of which have frequent trains to London Bridge.
Popular destinations: Head to London Bridge (for the South Bank & Borough Market) you can transfer further to trains to Waterloo East (for the South Bank & BFI) Charing Cross (for Covent Garden, Soho, The Strand, Trafalgar Square) or London Underground services. Both the Northern Line (black) and the Jubilee Line (grey) serve London Bridge. Other stations include (walking time): Brockley (12 mins South) Deptford DLR (15 mins East) Queen’s Road Peckham (20 mins West) Lewisham & DLR (25 mins East)
bus
While slow and bumpy, London’s buses are pretty reliable and New Cross is well endowed with 24hr services so if you’re headed into Central London for a night out you might find they come in handy. The best thing is the fares are only £1 however far you’re going (using an Oyster PAYG card). Some of the key services that run from outside College are: 453 Marylebone via the Elephant or towards Lewisham 436 Paddington via Victoria, Camberwell and Oval (24hrs) or towards Deptford 21 to Newington Green via Old Street 171 Holborn or towards Brockley
Cycling in London can be a bit daunting but it’s a great way to get around and is often faster than public transport, not to mention cheaper. Make sure you have a decent lock or two and if you’ve got a nice looking cycle then it may be worth you making it look less flash.
Cycling
Look out for Dr Bike sessions around college and the ‘Lunch ‘n’ Learn’ bike repair sessions we’ve got scheduled for Freshers’ fortnight. We’re giving away a limited number of hi-vis vests too so grab one while you can
FREE CYCLE MAPS You can get free London Cycling maps sent by post from Transport for London at www.tfl.gov.uk which have designated cycle paths marked on them.
You can check out extensive resources on London Cycling Campaign’s website at www.lcc.org.uk and join the Campaign for just £14 (student rate) which includes a monthly magazine and support services.
Volunteering through the Union Volunteering is one of the best ways to gain experience in areas you may be interested in. It’s also an amazing way to give back to the community and help people.

touch and we’ll help facilitate your involvement.
Volunteering is basically any activitiy where you offer your time and energy to a project or organisation. This could be on one-off occassions or over a long period of time.
At the Students’ Union there are many opportunities to get involved in student volunteering. You can put your time into helping run a society, sports club or media team. You could put on a fundraising event, run for election or campaign on issues affecting you.
If you’d like to get involved in any community volunteering projects such as teaching refugees English, helping out at a women’s refuge, working in a local allotment or doing prisoner support, the get in
There’s also ways to gain valuable experience producing media content for one of the SU’s many media outlets, designing flyers or making films for the SU Youtube channel (new this year!).
Sports
at Goldsmiths
Getting involved in sport at university is a great way to make new friends, keep healthy and get away from the books. Whether you’re interested in playing competitive games or just going to ocassional training sessions, our clubs offer something for everyone. Never played before? No worries, this may be the best time to give it a go.

Societies Societies are one of the best ways to get involved in activities and meet like minded people. Whether you’re interested in collaborating with creative types or discussing politics and policy, exploring new religions or tasting the finest foods, there really is something for everyone at
Adventure Society
The Adventure Society is there for anyone who has ever had a dream of going on an adventure. Simple. From camping trips to the coast dressed as pirates to ghost hunting in abandoned hospitals.
Afro-Carribbean Soc
Goldsmiths. Our societies are active, enthusiastic and full of people just like you. Check out this alphabetical (almost) listing of current societies and turn to the last few pages to send in your membership fee before you arrive. But BE SURE to come to Freshers’ Fayre, 25th September!
Anime & Manga Soc
Arts & Entertainment
Anthropology Society
Art Society
With Anime and Manga becoming one of the fast growing sub-cultures, our aim is to bring people at Goldsmiths who are interested in these genres together and widen the fan community.
The ACS is an anti-racist, incredibly active society at Goldsmiths that organises a variety of events from debates, music nights, trips to Thorpe Park, Pro-Evo tournaments and often hosts speakers discussing racial issues.
Just like in previous academic years, we welcome students from all disciplines to join in various types of events and trips in relation to anthropology. We aim for collaboration with other societies and institutions and a multidisciplinary dialogue within Goldsmiths.
Amnesty International
Autonomy & Solidarity
We support Amnesty International’s mission to fight against violations of human rights and to raise awareness in the Goldsmiths Community of such human rights abuses.
for more info contact Rheem@gold.ac.uk Student Activities & Services Officer or h.chandler@gold.ac.uk Student Development Co-ordinator
We seek to encourage debate and activity around the subject of social anarchism. A&S believes that the power of the capitalist elite - the tiny fraction of humanity that wields all the economic power- is the single biggest obstacle to organising society completely democratically where we all take part in the decisions made about our lives.
If you enjoy music, theatre, comedy, film, dance, if you want to see concerts, shows and plays for less, if you want to get more out of your time in London, then the Arts and Entertainment Society is for you!
We run various workshops throughout the week for different artistic practices such as life drawing, and organise one-off events to help foster a community of members and friends.
Bass Society
We’re committed to showcasing the best student dj’s alongside the bigger names in Dubstep, Electro and Drum and Bass. We are looking to build on our immensely successful first year, winning the ‘Best Student Led Night’ for the mammoth ‘Chase and Status’ night. You can look forward to more big nights this year, as well as smaller showcases of student talent.
Charity Society
The Charity Society aims to raise funds and promote awareness for four different charities throughout the academic year. By becoming a member you will be invited to attend regular meeting where you will vote for our ‘charity of the term’ and share ideas for exciting fundraising events and activities. Not only will you be raising money for some fantastic causes, you will have a lot of fun meeting new people and getting involved!
Chess Society
Open to all levels and experience.
Cheese Society Open to all.
Circus Society All Welcome.
Christian Society Open to all.
Chinese Society
We warmly welcome everyone who is interested in Chinese culture. Last year we organized the first ‘Asian week’ which was for students to experience the food, the traditions and the culture of Asia. This year we plan to organise more events which help Chinese students to enjoy their life in college as much as possible as well as helping non-Chinese people to understand Chinese culture better.

Enviroclub
We are a friendly, passionate society focusing on environmental and human issues around the world. Our weekly meetings act as an arena for discussion, learning and exchange of knowledge and ideas about these issues in an exciting and understanding way, as well as for progressing with our chosen projects.
We are a friendly and welcoming society open to all. We are one of the most active societies on campus and combine debates about serious issues with socialising. We host debates and talks on women’s rights issues and campaign for gender equality. Our aim is to highlight and fight sexism on campus as well as on a national and international level. We also hold arts and crafts workshops and regular film screenings. For this year we are continuing our campaign against the misogynist Miss University beauty pageant and collaborating with the Palestine Society for the release of female prisoners.
Film Society
The Film Society, founded 3 years ago, has grown to be the largest society at Goldsmiths. We host weekly film screenings in the Students’ Union Common Room or Small Hall Cinema, script writing competitions, editing workshops and does its own group productions using college camera equipment. Last year a Film Journal was produced by the Film Soc and we are hoping to do another edition in the coming year.
Goldsmiths WI

Middle Eastern Society We shall aim to educate, entertain and bring forth the vast wealth of history that contemporary Middle Eastern society was shaped by. Not only will the society help Middle Eastern students understnad their own background in more depth, it will also be a valuable tool of familiarising non-Middle Eastern students with a relatively alien region of the world - so as to disprove the idea that the only recognisable products of the Middle East are falafel and sheesha!
MTO Sufi Society
This society aims to raise awareness of Sufism to students of all ages.
Musical Theatre Society We endeavour to promote musical theatre at Goldsmiths. The main way we do this is with our major show, which will be performed on the 5th and 6th of March 2010.

This is the student-wing of the Socialist Workers Party, an anti-capitalist organisation that falls within the international socialist tendency. At Goldsmiths SWSS is the most active left-wing political group, with several elected part-time and full-time Officers. SWSS organises a regular speaker/discussion on a Thursday evening debating current issues and various themes around revolutionary politics. Recent meetings include ‘Barack Obama: real change for America?’, ‘How can Marxism be applied today?’
Stop the War
Goldsmiths has a proud history of anti-war campaigning and as part of this we’ve had the army and all military groups banned from our campus for the past 7 years, since the start of the Afghanistan war.
