intro • news in brief • the wombats live in term 2
I seriously cannot believe it’s already Week 8 – where has this term gone? Things show no sign of slowing down though – this week is the amazing annual celebration of the LGBTUA+ community that is Pride Week! Pride is about so much more than rainbow flags and glittery parades; it’s about coming together to discuss issues that still plague the LGBTUA+ community, to celebrate our successes and to commemorate our losses. The Transgender Day of Remembrance on Sunday 20th kicks off the week – keep an eye on the SU website for more details of events. The second GUM Clinic of term is also on Tuesday Week 8 in CR2 – get there early as this was very popular last time! World AIDS Day is 1st December. UNICEF are hosting a day conference on HIV/AIDS on November 30th, and MTW will be performing songs from musicals such as Rent! on the Thursday – don’t forget to buy your red ribbon to donate to medical research. That’s all from me - have a cracking last few weeks of term and stay safe and happy. As always, drop me an email (welfare@warwicksu.com) or pop in to my office with any questions or concerns! Izzy
news in brief varsity ice hockey tickets Oh yes - it’s that time again when we start limbering up for the next round of Varsity clashes. For the uninitiated, Varsity constitutes a series of sporting tournaments in which we take on our arch-rivals at Coventry University. (Well, we say ‘take on’, but that implies that it’s any more than a purely one-sided affair…) First up is the Ice Hockey, which will be taking place at Planet Ice at the Coventry Sky Dome on 23rd January 2012. Tickets will be available from Week 8 via the SU website – get in there and support our troops as they prepare to go into battle once more!
GUM clinic
tuesday week 8
The second GUM Clinic of term will be in CR2, from 10am - 6pm on Tuesday Week 8 (22nd November). This was very popular last time, so if you want to get your sexual health checked, try to get there early! Email welfare@warwicksu.com with any questions or concerns. Remember that it’s better to be safe than sorry, and the clinic is free and confidential.
national demo
9th november
A massive thank you to everyone from Warwick who participated in the National Demonstration against tuition fee increases on Wednesday of Week 6. Things went off peacefully without a hitch and we got our point across as loudly as possible, with one of our banners even making the front page of the Guardian website! This action was part of an ongoing SU campaign against the proposed changes to Higher Education, so keep your eyes on the website for more news in the near-future.
warwick debating union
thursday week 9
The third and final debate of this term will take place between 6pm and 8pm in the Atrium on Thursday 1st December, discussing the motion: “This house would cut funding for the Humanities”. As always, everyone’s welcome to come along and participate!
live in term 2 We’ve teamed up with the good folk over at Kilimanjaro Live to bring Liverpudlian indie-pop favourites The Wombats to The Copper Rooms on Tuesday 21st February. With tracks from latest album This Modern Glitch nestling alongside classics like Let’s Dance to Joy Division and Kill the Director in their festival-storming live set, this is shaping up to be an unmissable gig from one of the UK’s favourite bands. Tickets are on sale now via the SU website at £16 each!

Pride Week! 2011-12
Pride Week is Warwick SU’s annual awareness week centred around Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Undefined and Asexual (LGBTUA+) issues, promising a diverse programme of speakers, seminars, workshops, panels and parties. Everyone is welcome, no matter how you self-define – gay, straight, bi, trans or simply awesome! Campaigning is a huge part of the Pride movement, with guest speakers this year including author Hannah Dee, Queer Friends of Bradley Manning’s campaign about the queer issues behind Wikileaks, the SU’s own Love Without Borders campaign and important speakers on LGBTUA+ asylum, immigration and international human rights. In addition, Vicki Baars from NUS is giving a talk on polyamory, with Warwick Pride exec members also running workshops and socials throughout the week. There’ll also be two panels during the week which will look at LGBTUA+ issues from religious and partypolitical perspectives. Keep an eye out for posters and flyers around Warwick campus advertising the date, time and location of these events, or visit calendar.warwickpride.org anytime for information about all upcoming Pride activities.

rag week update Have your voice heard on the big issues
TUES 29TH NOV | 19:00 | MS.02
what is a general meeting? General Meetings are your chance to have your say on the big issues. Every student can attend and every student has a vote.
so why should you turn up? Some of the biggest and most controversial issues that face the Union are discussed at General Meetings. Check the Union website this week for a final list of the motions that are coming up, but so far we’ve got:
○○ The Union’s stance on Higher Education – are fees here to stay?
○○ No Platform – should the Union ban racist and
fascist speakers because of what they say or debate them openly?
And more! If you’re not there your voice won’t be heard...
RAG Week occurred during Week 7 giving students the opportunity to order items to be delivered in lectures, and gnomings to punish those untidy friends and hallmates all in the name of fundraising for charity! Over the week money was raised for the National Autistic Society, the Kazi Mingi Foundation, Children in Need, The Coventry Rape and Sexual Abuse Centre, and St. John Ambulance LINKS. RAG would especially like to thank Warwick Glee for their help with the serenades as they helped to sell more serenades than in any other year! We’d also like to thank everyone at the Union, especially Chris Luck, Matt, Sean and Jonny Sherwood for going out of their way to make sure that the week ran as smoothly as planned. University lecturers have, as always, been more than generous in their support for RAG and the causes that we support, and we’d like to thank them for allowing us to disrupt their lectures! Finally thanks to everyone who ordered a delivery, gnoming or a T Shirt. We’ve been able to make a real difference to hundreds of lives with the money raised throughout the week - we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you!
