The Biggest Fancy Dress party ever!

Leicester NUS is holding a referendum to determine the political line they are taking regarding funding for higher education. The choices are free education, keep the tuition fees cap or a call to introduce graduate tax.

Keeping the cap might seem like the safest option however this might be undermined by the fact that Lord Browne has been commissioned to lead an independent review into tuition fees and early indications seem to suggest raising the cap to £7000 a year.

The proposal for a graduate tax is possibly an even more unfair approach than tuition fees. Like any tax, they are subject to increases every year from the Chancellor meaning you could end up paying far more under this system than with tuition fees. Most importantly, both these options charge for a service that we believe should be universally free.

The option for free education is often met with doubt especially in the wake of the recession. We believe however, that there is still more than enough money available to fund this option. Currently, £120billion exists in uncollected tax. Furthermore, corporation tax is being cut despite the fact that these businesses are set to benefit from an educated workforce. Surely they should be paying their share.

Vote against fees and taxation on Thursday and help to build a movement of students demanding a right to free education.

Come along to the welcome meeting to meet your fellow sci-fi and fantasy enthusiasts! We’ll kick things off with introductions, nibbles and refreshments and hopefully some quick ice-breaking games, then we’ll vote on a few things for the upcoming term, we’ll finish by watching a film (chosen during the vote). Finally, after the meeting you have the choice to join us at the Dry Dock pub.

The Big Shabang, featuring Radio 1 superstar DJ Jo Whiley and her Radio 1 tour of fresh up-and-coming bands.

All 3 O2 Academies will be open til late for a massive party to end the first week at Uni for the class of 2012/13!  In the past, this tour has included the likes of the Arctic Monkeys and Mika before they became international superstars, so be the first to see the next big thing, only at The Big Shabang!

Since the first meet was such a success we are going for a yummy meal on Thursday to do some more bonding and play many more fun artsy games. Come and join!

This will be our first society run dance class of the term; it is for members only and is free! This class is much more relaxed, but essential for competition preparation.

We will be using this class to choreograph for the Battle of the Dances, Modern Dance Team, in the upcoming weeks (Provisional Date: Monday 15th November). We hope to see you there!

It’s bold, it’s brash, and it even occasionally makes statements that leave you pondering your existence.

The basic idea behind Proteus is that a group of theatre enthusiasts meet every two weeks, and split into groups of 3-10 people, with each group consisting of a writer, a director and a Mötley Crüe of actors. The groups then write, direct and rehearse a 5-10 minute piece that they perform to an ever-growing audience (in excess of 100 people some weeks) two weeks later. The whole process is then repeated ad infinitum (or at least until the end of term).

There is an opportunity to get involved at the end so you can try your hand at acting, directing or writing.

Come along and watch…you never know what is going to be performed before your very eyes!

Come along to the bandage bar crawl. We start at the scholar and will make our way through town to end up at the union for the big shabang.
Make sure you wear a white t-shirt, we’ll provide the bandages

See you there!!!!

We’re going to start at the Turkey Cafe with a shot of their house flavoured vodkas and some discount cocktails, then onto the Loaded Dog to get a free bottle of either Bacardi Breezer/Becks, then onto the Union for The Big Shabang!
We’re all going to be in fancy dress, the theme is artists! So you can either dress as a real-life artist such as Dali or Warhol, or just as a generic ‘artist’ with a nice beret and some paint splatters lol!
Tickets will cost £5 and will be on sale in the next few days, we’ll let you know where/when ASAP!!
