    Too much focus on HSC marks?

    As I told my Chair of unit at my interview, I was incredibly pissed off that my ability to study music would be judged by my scores in subjects like Physics, English and SDD. By UAI alone, I probably would not have gained entry to my course - I was made an offer because of my performance in the...

    USyd Students - the VSU Era - What will you do?

    One of my old high school classmates dated Alma for a while. She refused to put out.

    Too much focus on HSC marks?

    So what's your idea of a "trivial" course, and what's your idea of a "real" course?

    Too much focus on HSC marks?

    He's right, of course. The current system offers too much emphasis on HSC scores, with no consideration towards extra-curricular skills, interests and ideas a potential student can contribute. The UAI, at best, offers an indicator as to the possible capacity for overall study a student has - but...

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    The questions read: 1) Does our University have a responsibility to take action on climate change? 2) Should our University commit to reducing its energy, in order to reduce our impact on climate change? 3) Should our University commit to purchasing at least 20% GreenPower (the...

    Injury on the Piano

    Piano-related injury is FAR more likely to be in the wrist than in the fingers.

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    I'm sorry to say, I don't think NLS/Unity will have a majority on council OR executive this year. EDIT: I'm not sorry at all.

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    Normally, I'd agree - and frankly it's not gonna be a huge issue on my agenda for the year. But the issue is that for quite a number of students, carrying instruments between campuses has proven quite difficult. In one example, third year composer Louie carries a cello from his main campus class...

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    Because bus services running from the Quay to main campus are unreliable and expensive.

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    The reason the Con doesn't have the funding it needs, is because the funding that SHOULD be going to the Con is going to main campus. My job is to take the concerns of Con students to our main campus organisations, both as an SRC Rep, and potentially the new Senate Rep. An ATM for the Con is...

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    Leith Robertson. He convincingly won the Cumbo vote, if only because you all voted below the line on that campus. The Left lose Tim Davis Frank, and Labor gain Kate Laing in the recount.

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    That's right - the treatment of my classmates at the Con is disgusting, considering how much of their money goes back to the main campus. Frankly, I didn't expect Con students to vote at all - but this year they have shown their disgust in the actions of our main campus representatives by voting...

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    I won the Conservatorium vote, with over 25% of eligible students voting at my campus in the 2 and a half hours of polling there on the quietest day of the week, with 90% of voters supporting Conservatorium Voice. I also won the Conservatorium's Art Music vote on main campus convincingly, giving...

    It probably won't, but at least Pepperspray Paddy and his friends won't be receiving money from the SRC for it.

    SRC Elections 2006 - the Aftermath/Post-Mortem

    I hate to say it, but the only way to get rid of those guys is to join the Sydney University Liberal Club. Don't worry - they accept reformed lefties too. I'd like to think of myself as "Liberal Extreme Left" - I support Liberal policy regarding VSU and students Not beating up cops, but I...
