I guess the point of this is that your ideas of heaven and hell may be wildly different from those held by other people. Alex has outlined some of these different concepts in his feature this week. Alex also got to sit down with Thursday’s headline act “Bigphallica”. Have a look at the interview; they’re crazy guys.

Finally, it is important to note that to make it in to heaven (or hell), you have to act properly and accrue the karmic credit (or debt). In preparation for Thursday, Flick has outlined her Seven Deadly Sins of campus life. Have a skim over them, remember them and avoid them. Your Kenso brothers and sisters will thank you for it. Amen.

  Blitz Blitz Magazine Magazine People who follow fashion trends are simple, insecure, narrow-minded people. I can’t believe how much of a fashion parade UNSW is these days.

by Lucius Burlovich The next thing that makes me want to vomit is thongs. There henever I’m at uni are so many people with ugly I am constantly feet out there who think it’s cringing when I see alright to wear thongs. In fact, no Wso many people one should be wearing thongs. wearing the most pretentious, Believe it or not, no one wants expensive clothes they own. Just to see your feet, they’re hideous. to try and appear cool. But the thing that really annoys me is “Havianas”. $20 for a pair I really can’t stand “guys” of thongs? Give me a break. who wear pink shirts. Its like Woolworths sells thongs for they’re trying to say “look at $3. But nooooo, you NEED to me, I’m so masculine that I can have that brand name on there. wear a pink shirt and not be Otherwise people will think thought of as queer”. Let me you’re not cool…. tell you, pink shirts are a sign of insecurity. And what sickens Other things and brand names me is that it has only caught on that people should not wear recently. Was anyone wearing include the following: Von Dutch pink shirts 3 years ago? No! (soooo last year), wristcuffs Guys are only wearing them (HARDCORE!!!), Diesel and now because it’s cool to do Lonsdale (tough and macho), it, because other people are bags with only one shoulder wearing them. These guys are strap (wow, so random!!!), trendy begging for acceptance. They new Dunlop volleys with no laces must think they’re so ‘different’ (wooaah, so retro!!!), casual or ‘innovative’ by wearing a pink clothes with a tie! (yeeeeeeah, shirt, like they want other people I’m a rebel punk!!!). to think ‘ooooh he’s wearing a pink shirt, isn’t that wacky What also frustrates me are and fresh!!!’ No buddy, its not, those people who walk into because almost every other guy lectures with those tacky little is wearing one too. cups of coffee thinking they’re so mature and cultured and trendy I also can’t stand guys wearing with their polyphonic ring tones their collars up on polo shirts, and iPods, but that’s a so everyone can see the brand different story… name written on the back of the collar, which is usually a word like “Industrie”. Wow that’s so cool, a word written the wrong way! But seriously fellas, do yourself a favour and put your collars down, you look ridiculous.

 Blitz Magazine Blitz Magazine  2006 ELECTION OF THREE (3) ORDINARY MEMBERS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF UNION BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Hamish COLLINGS-BEGG I’m currently studying 3rd Year Commerce/Law. I’m running for Source Board because: • I am passionate about what the Source does, especially: o Strengthening the university community and campus atmosphere, and o Providing services helpful to every student on campus. • I have a lot of experience in the campus community, through volunteering as: o A Yellow Shirt (Squad Leader) for O-Week, o President of the Actuarial Society, and o A Trivia Host at the Unibar, amongst other things. • I recognise the significance of the introduction of VSU, and believe you need passionate and experienced leaders representing students. • I care about what students want and I’m willing to fight for it. Some things I would look to achieve are: • More, vibrant entertainment at the Roundhouse and on campus; • Discounts on Roundhouse concerts for Source members; • Cheaper essentials – coffee, focaccias, stationery.

Jeremiah GALEA 3rd stage BA Science BA Education student running for Union board member elections. My motivation to be on the Source board of directors is driven by the rewarding services the Source provides to students like me every day at UNSW. As a board member I want to ensure that these services continue, develop and diversify with minimal affect from VSU legislation. I know I will be great as a director because of my successful involvement with other student organizations, such as: • President of UNSW Circusoc (CASOC club of the year 2005) • Producing the Source funded “Carousel” in the Roundhouse in 2005 • working as a student assistant in the library for over a year, • providing entertainment for Source and Student Guild activities. I am passionate about staff and student life in the UNSW community, which is why I study education

Scott GUMLEY People often ask me “why do student organisations always carry on with all that political stuff? Shouldn’t they be paying more attention to what students want on campus?” I seek to represent my fellow students in a de-politicised manner, relying on common sense and a majority focused agenda. If elected I intend to concentrate mainly on practical issues that affect students on campus.

Caitlin HURLEY I am a fourth year Science/Arts Student who has been involved with the Source since first year. I have been involved with many Source volunteer programs and serve on the Membership Services Committee. I am also a student representative on the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences Board. I am running for this position because I want to ensure the Source and the services it provides continue to exist and benefit current & future students in a VSU environment. Specifically, I want: • Better consultation between the Source and Student groups at UNSW, especially postgraduate and international student communities • An increased diversity of student activities & services in the Roundhouse • More emphasis on the Source as a service provider with a strong student focus • Implementation of at least one $3 lunch meal in every campus precinct Your vote is important – it can change the University.

Craig KEENAN I am currently studying a Bachelor of Mining Engineering at UNSW. I have completed a Diploma of Financial Planning at SIA and am currently studying an Advanced Diploma of Financial Services (Financial Planning) at FSIA. Studying mining engineering at the UNSW has given me the opportunity to travel to and meet the people of Awaba, Myuna, Newstan, Ulan . . . places few students have heard of (and are ever likely to experience). The concept of ‘doing something different’ is not uncommon at UNSW. Every student has their story of ‘UNSW life’ . . . where it has taken them, with whom and where it will take them in the future. My involvement in the UNSW Union Board of Directors is an attempt to seek a definition of ‘UNSW life’ and how it can be translated into a better experience for all students.

  Blitz Blitz Magazine Magazine Eker LU First year student of Media & Communication (Science). I have been involved in various students associations last year when I was doing UFY in UNSW, through holding events and volunteering with the Chinese Students Association and other clubs. This made me realize the importance of the Union and its role of creating a vibrant and active campus serving the demands of students on campus. Union Board is where the events and activities are brought out. Also, it is a platform that students can voice their ideas and they are able to contribute actively to the Union and its operation. It is a representative of student expression as well as direct student participation into deciding how the Union works to benefit the students of UNSW. I am confident that my work will be able to continue delivering a campus which all students can enjoy and can be proud of.

Shahid MAJEED Aims and Objectives • Developing community and collegiality within the UNSW student body and between students and other stakeholders groups such as UNSW staff, alumni and business supporters • Providing students ample opportunities for integration to develop the social relationships • Increasing the level of involvement of students in all the UNSW extra-curricular programs and activities • Providing an environment conducive to personal, social, professional and organisational development • Increasing the student diversity in all the UNSW extra-curricular programs and activities

Vincent POON With VSU being implemented, I believe the UNSW Union will lose up to if not more than half of its revenue. I also believe that the UNSW Union is a major organisation for the students that must continue and thrive in such circumstances. I can make a difference, with extensive background in Management and a sound knowledge of how the University functions. I hold various positions which allow me to have insights to the general direction the University is heading. This includes being a member of the Law Faculty Board and as a Councillor in the Student Guild. I am a strong proponent of the two major student organisations. As a director I will be able to actively guide the Union on its Strategic Plan. Foster an environment which provides students with services that they are in desperate need.

Andrew WINATA I’m an international student studying 2nd year science. Since arriving at UNSW I’ve been actively involved in volunteer programs as well as clubs and societies. I’m currently a Committee Member of the Indonesian Students Association. The entertainment and social events run by the Source are the heart of campus life at UNSW. Campus life is also about the personal development and learning experiences that you can’t get from lectures and tutorials. VSU will have a horrible impact on campus life, but I will fight to ensure that the Source survives. As a Source board director I will improve the facilities and services available to students, as well as the quality of campus life. I believe that University is one of the best times in our life and I want to make sure we get the most out of it.

Jesse YOUNG I’m a 2nd year student studying Aviation. The key reason that I’m running for Source board is my strong belief in student control of student affairs. I believe that every aspect of your campus life should be run by students, for students. Student organisations are going through tough times at the moment and need to change in order to adapt to the harsh realities of voluntary student unionism. I believe students are central to these changes. As a Source board director I will fight for your right to student representation, cheap printing and photocopying, affordable services on campus, text book subsidies and most importantly, an active and diverse campus community. My experience as the current Student Guild Activities Director has given me the skills that I need to ensure that the needs of students are represented on the UNSW Source board.
