o_0 really doubt that will occur

 

[bscienceboi]

If it was Macquarie Uni members only then they wouldnt get $$$

 

[AsyLum]

I read it, it was written by Phil Betts, i'd like to hear from him if he's still posting here.

As far as i got from it, it was true, and would explain why things are quite late in its planning. Furthermore, the article stated it would not be held in the grassy hills, and that it would only be in the Atrium.

And the day has been restricted to MQ students only, i was agasp and totally fucking pissed off at this, how the hell it could happen if the reports are true.

Not happy Di.

 

[bscienceboi]

How would the Atrium hold so many people :|

 

[AsyLum]

It can't thats the point, at most it'd hold around 5,000.

Grrr

for maq students only eh?? that will teach the miserable wenches that choose usyd over maq at least it will be less crowded (ive never gone to one, but i might this year).

When exactly is conception day on? i might mark the day in my diary with my own blood, to symbolise the beginning of the death of conception day.. as i fear it will wither into nothingness with this new restirction.... RIP

 

[AsyLum]

Sept 16th, Half day, (most classes end by 12)

[Cyan_phoeniX]

i go on friday. yay.

i think its the first time im actually there for conception day

How can they restrict it to MQ students? They will lose out on soo much money. And can you imagine how disgusting it would be in the Atrium with all those sweaty bodies and vomiting and smoking pot?

What is happening to the MQ we all knew and loved!

p.s.I heard from a girl who goes to USYD that they have already introduced VSU there from this semester onwards... has anyone else heard the same? How unfair! I wanted to keep my $178 this semester. I'm so poor.

Within the spirit of spreading the word, and knowing that Phil wouldn't mind, here's an email he sent out on the 1st of August:

Yep, there is definately truth to those rumours [that conception day will be limited to Mac students and the SAM building].

Conception Day 2005 WILL be Mac students only. This was not a SAM decision
but a University management decision. I'm of the understanding that SAM
fought rather hard to keep Conception Day as it was, but the Uni wouldn't
budge. SAM then tried to allow partners of Mac students to attend, but the
Uni management wouldn't allow it.

As for being confined to the SAM building: that was one option floated, but
last I heard it will be in the regular spot, which I believe is as it
stands.

It's obviously disappointing, but it does sort of harken back to what
Conception Day started out as - a big Macquarie party.

What do you guys think we should do? Start a thread on the forum.

Cheers,
Phil

what happens on conception day?
i have fridays off and i am a student at mq.. score

 

[Orange Juice]

THIS IS FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS, specially since ive already told everyone to come and ive bought tickets for them... or am in the process of getting them...

and asylum you sure its 16th/ i swear its the 23rd, because thats a friday

 

[boinkBOINK]

thats shocking
but eh could always do what we did last yr
and pass out the wristbands

 

[redruM]

it isnt restricted to mac students only. non-mq's pay an entree fee of about $20-25 i think.

 

[Orange Juice]

redrum my friend i think what their trying to introduce is that only mq students can get in (hell they might make us pay)
boink: ya cheap bastard.... least you have friends to pass the band to
