I'm not entirely sure if debating incurs the club fees, because if the impression I get is right it's not actually a club, but an official arm of USU headed up by the Debates Committee. It's not in the C&S directory, either. Can anyone who does debating confirm/contradict that?

I might do that as well, actually. I was sort of interested in ArchSoc and Debating, but I couldn't find the stalls. (Mainly because I didn't have much time to search them out, because I was too busy getting sunburnt in the Access queue.)

Re: 2007 Federal Election - Coalition or Labor/Howard or Beazley? Agreed. I doubt that Joe Punter (outside of WA, anyway) has a clue who Brian Burke is, and the government's case linking Rudd to him is fairly tenuous at best. High-ranking opposition members meet with lots of people. Three...

Apparently there was a hat in the showbag as well, but they must have run out pretty quickly because no one I know got one. I got a lanyard from Virgin Mobile in mine, though, which I plan to never wear because it's as ugly as sin.

Around midday today the guy who was hanging around the Access tents plugging Beachball was saying that they'd given away roughly 500 of the 1000 free tickets. And it they were selling a lot less Access cards than yesterday - the queue was five minutes or less instead of a full hour - so they...

Handbook says ARIN1000 is available to straight Arts students in the Digital Cultures major. If you want to do it, you could try enrolling in it online.

Have they got rid of the group interview stage? I always thought that you needed to do it before they put you into the talent pool, but I just got put into the talent pool and all I'd done was the test. (For the second time - last time I did it, which was last year, they knocked me back. Don't...

Speaking of which, when can we expect the WebCT/Blackboard sites to be up?

My unfortunately clashy but otherwise good timetable:

When you got your offer and accepted it you had the option of registering for MyUni/WebCT immediately, in which case you chose your own password and the one you then got given at enrolment was void.

Blue Mountains is intercity, yes.

Most of my trains (Blue Mountains line) don't stop at Redfern. The only ones that do are the peak-hour trains, which are a bit too early for most mountains people who have 10am starts. (If I did maths and had 8am starts, though, I'd be set.)

I found one at http://www.usydunion.com - I think it's in the Clubs and Societies menu under O-week. There's a pdf of the map and a Word document with the number of each club's stall.

I think any bus heading southwards from Railway Square with a number in the high 430s will take you to Usyd. You might as well try it out, since it'll probably be raining a bit tomorrow anyway.

What union perks are these?

I don't think you have to buy the Access card to join societies, but they'll charge you some sort of 'administrative fee' (ie, stick component of the buy-an-Access-card campaign) for every society you join. Something like $37 per society? I think you can use EFTPOS or cash to buy an Access card...

Re: Public School vs. Private You know, I'm tempted to think that perhaps the problems you list are to do with that particular school, and that your experience can't be considered representative of the private education sector as a whole. And 'our school was sooo gay literally the guys were...

The hour or hours you have clashes in will be highlighted in a lovely red colour on your timetable, and there'll also be a big notice at the bottom of the page saying "You have a CLASH in your timetable". It's pretty difficult to miss, so if you haven't seen it you probably don't have a clash.

Doing a humanities subject is not an automatic pathway to getting a godo UAI. Doing Modern, say, is not going to definitely get you a better UAI than, say, doing chem or bio. Business may be an easier course, but it's for that exact reason that it doesn't scale well. Choosing different subjects...
