Students Reassured at the "GM"

Reassurance was the word the modest gathering of students received from Guild President Carl Padmore and his twenty strong contingent at Last Thursday's General Meeting.Padmore now in his second year of office, was backed by his full compliment of council members and seemed to be on top of most of the major issues.He urged the student body to "keep us (the Guild council) on our toes"during his welcome,question and answer segment, as well as closing remarks.

The highly anticipated Treasurer's report was relatively well received with students calling mainly for the document to be published so they could have a better grasp of the figures within.

Students raised perrenial issues such as,better bus service, the price of books and the lack of oportunities for part-time students to take part in extra-curricular activities, for all of which, solutions were suggested.

The meeting was keep under firm control by Public Relations Officer Danny Babb also in his second term and Secretary Heidi Badenock working in tandem.

The two ensured the meeting followed the agenda and ran smoothly,the "bashment" of previous general meetings, seemingly a thing of the past.

Other speakers on the night included Vice-President Odwin Trenton with the Inter-Clubs Committee report,Social Sciences reprsentative Damian "Figgy"Belgrave,delivering on behalf of the five faculties,The Post Graduate Representative, who said litlle owing to the abscence of post graduates in the audience and Games Committee Chairperson Akil Dowridge who spoke of the upcoming Inter Campus Games.

The meeting was held on September 30th in the Lecture Theatre 1 of the Roy Marshall Complex and lasted just under three hours.

Postponed for a week due to persistent showers,the rockers,rappers and rythm poets would not be denied their spot in the lime-light as Woodstock came to Cave Hill last Wednesday night.A late start resulted in an intimate gathering of students and followers of the local "live music" scene huddled together on the guild lawn with eyes and ears directed toward the action onstage.
First of the bands onstage was "Standing Penance" performing a number of covers mingled with originals including the crowd pleasing "Chop Suey" and Drowning Pool's "Let the bodies hit the Floor."The other band's onstage were the up and coming, rock-oriented "Vacant Head Space" and the more mature "Psilos" with their funkier,jazzier sound.The poetry/open mic segment included offerings by Geeva,with a deep piece entitled "Path to sunrise" among others. Backed by DJ's and the Azband were local free-style rappers Sun Rok and Rhyme Minister who performed some of their more familiar songs.A t the end of the night though one would have to say that rock music reigned supreme on Woodstock Wednesday!!

Record numbers of students gathered on the Guild Lawn for the Fresher's fun day hosted by the NACC.Whether it was rock-climbing,riding the mechanical bull or speeding through the obstacle course, a good time was had by freshers and continuing students alike.A particular crowd favourite was Sumo Wrestling.This challenge saw two opponents strapped into large suits with helmets for protection try to push each other off of the mat.Improvisation however proved to be the name of the day with pro-wrestling -like maneuvers being exhibited by the more spirited competitors.Large numbers of students spectated and partook of the challenges on offer until well after the sun had set on the "funnest" day for the semester.
