UC charmers pay ANU a stone week visit

Got this in my uni email inbox today

Dear Students,
I know that many of you are currently enjoying Stone Week as I have seen and heard this enjoyment today on campus. Whilst I strongly encourage you to have fun at this time (before really settling down to the hard work I know you’ll all be doing to prepare for your exams and final assignments), I would like to remind you that the University has certain expectations about behaviour whilst you are on campus, or indeed elsewhere if on University business, or whilst you are clearly identifying as a UC student in public (through the wearing of Stone Week t-shirts for example).

Unfortunately, the University has received some complaints about alleged bad behaviour by students on campus and elsewhere this week. I would like to draw your attention to University policy that includes the possibility of sanctions for commonly accepted offensive behaviour. The Student Conduct Rules 2009 (the Rules) stipulate that a student must not “engage in, or be a party to, conduct … that is likely to bring the University into disrepute”: http://www.canberra.edu.au/university/governance/legislation/rules/pdf-rules-2012/University-of-Canberra-Student-Conduct-Rules-2009.pdf

The Rules also prohibit behaviour by students found to be offensive to other students or members of University staff.

Complaints from students, staff members or members of the public about the design of Stone Week t-shirts or offensive behaviour during Stone Week will be taken seriously and appropriate action will be taken. The University administration cautions you to think carefully about this, as under the Rules a student may be suspended or excluded from all or part of the University or ordered to pay compensation if found to have engaged in prohibited conduct.

The University of Canberra wholeheartedly condemns harassment of women and any such conduct would breach the University’s student conduct rules.

My apologies that the alleged behaviour of a small number of students has made it necessary for me to send out this message to all of you.

I wish you an enjoyable Stone Week, and hope that it’s memorable for all of us for all the right reasons.

Regards,
Michele

Strange. When I went to UC there didn’t seem to be these groups at all. Everyone just hung out and drank cheap beer.

Ah, those were the days…

+1…Sitting out of the front of the old bar (the one with the psychedelic mural on the wall) drinking and wondering whether we should head down to 2B9 for our Commercial Law lecture…Stuff it, lets enjoy the cheap beer, music, and passing parade..Good times..

I always thought “fugly fat moles” were women. These boys look like the wannabe sportos who I encountered at the old CCAE (now Uni of Canberra) when I was there in 1986-88. As a former editor of the student newspaper who had to wade through almost illegible and incomprehensible contributions with an overflowing WPB at the ready I note that the standard of written expression by tertiary students hasn’t improved over the years.

Nice sleave, brah.

Sound like real heros.

with tiny little dongers that will never be used.

People who voluntarily wear the same clothes like this have something wrong with them. Their collective wardrobe is supposed to make up for a total lack of individual personality.

Where do they learn such contempt towards women? Such a pathetic lack of imagination is displayed in their comments.

But I bet some of them will find girlfriends with very little idea of anything better, who are desperate to be part of a couple. Sigh.

I Remember these Wally’s from a few years ago at the pot belly busted the Dunnys started mouthing off at some of the woman folk and took great offense at being forcibly removed.

& people wonder why so many students are studying via correspondents these days…

You can see the police station in the photo. She should have just circled over there, and told the police there are a bunch of kids yelling abusive comments at women and passers by.

Instead she/others are trying to get some type of internet lynch mob going.
