intro • news in brief • national demo
Whether it’s locally to the University or nationally to the Government, we’re here to represent students’ interests. Warwick SU is committed to the idea of education for all, regardless of background - if it’s a question of the quality of education, or access to it, there are a number of ways you can get involved to help us work towards this ideal. On 9th November we’ll be joining thousands of other students from across the country for a national demonstration in London against rises in tuition fees and the deep cuts to higher education. You can book your place on a coach by visiting www.warwicksu.com/demo2011. Through the Warwick SU Inspire scheme, we’re also providing you with the opportunity to engage with local schools in a drive to raise pupils’ aspirations and encourage them to progress to higher education. You can apply now via our website: www.warwicksu.com/inspire. Something else students are passionate about is raising money for charity. RAG week (Week 7) is a fantastic way to do that while having fun at the same time. Start thinking of weird and wonderful things you want the RAG animals to deliver to your unsuspecting lecturer! Sean Ruston
news in brief freshers events - facebook photos As requested, we’ve been sifting through the mountains of photos taken at various events over the first few weeks of term, and have uploaded some of the best ones to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/warwicksu).

national demo
wednesday week 6

We believe that free education is a right and have democratically passed policy which mandates us to act. We must continue to stand in opposition to cuts and fees. To find out more and to book your seat on the coach (£5 per person) head to www.warwicksu.com/demo2011.
rag week - week 7
RAG Week ...is back, and this time it’s bigger than ever! Ever wanted to have a pint in a lecture? Buy a lapdance for your lecturer? Skip the Bread Oven queue by getting your baguette delivered to you in your seminar? Or maybe just show that special someone just how much they mean with a delivery of an anonymous rose, serenade or a box of chocolates? Well, RAG Week accommodates all these things! Visit our stand from 9-5 in the Atrium every day in Week 7, tell us what you want, where you want it and at what time, and we’ll do the rest! It’s not just gifts that we offer though - RAG Week is the perfect opportunity for you to get your own back on that hall-mate who never does the washing up or returns home late and sets off the fire alarm. If you can find out their lecture timetable, you can book a “gnoming” - we’ll go to their lecture, drag them outside in front of their whole class, cling-film them to a tree and throw flour, water and baked beans over them. It promises to be a messy week! We have plenty of daytime and evening events too, from our all-you-can-eat Pizza event to Scavenger Hunts, RAG Pub Quiz, Traffic Light TOP B, and a special POP! where you can gunge your mates for charity. Join RAG for free!

duck soup
On Wednesday of Week 3, we welcomed the one and only Olympic Torch to campus for an afternoon of festivities.
We’re delighted to announce that The Dirty Duck’s own specially-brewed ale, Duck Soup, has won Gold in the SIBA Midlands beer competition beating competition from no fewer than 68 other bottled beers! The ale was created and blended by local brewery the Warwickshire Beer Co, who worked in partnership with us to develop this award-winning popular real ale. It’s not just tasty, it’s certified tasty - make sure you head up to The Dirty Duck and treat yourself to a pint!
Hundreds of you came along to have your picture snapped with the torch and watched performances, exhibitions and displays from numerous different sports clubs. Thanks to everyone who was involved in making the day such a success, and to YOU for taking part!

presents the one to watch
The One To Watch makes a return this year! The One To Watch is a series of videos produced by Warwick TV highlighting one Sports Club and their activities each week. So far Athletics and Lacrosse have been featured, and you can see their photos and videos on the Warwick SU and Warwick Sport websites under ‘One To Watch’. The project is a great way to keep up with the success stories of Team Warwick, as well as providing the extra support and recognition that our teams deserve!
You can apply to be One To Watch at www.warwicksu.com/sports/onetowatch - this is a valuable means of promoting your club on campus, especially if you are looking to pick up awards at the end of the year. Look out for articles in The Bubble, The Boar and online throughout the year, as well as videos around the SU - here’s to another massive year of Sport!
