Democracy threatened as ANUSA election postponed

ANU is not the centre of the universe.

I read your last story too CC, why so bitter? Is the Canberra rain getting you down? It’s forecasted to clear up on Monday.

Actually, I always get annoyed when I walk through union court and no one tries to hand me a flyer. Admittedly I graduated 20 years ago, but surely I still look young enough to be a uni student . . . (don’t I?)

Maybe look for substantive issues to address time. 🙂

That’s priceless! I couldn’t find another University that uses this spelling of it 🙂

“Chancelry is an archaic contraction of chancellery… but in 1963 the University Council decided that the administration building should be known as the Chancelry”.

The Frank Sinatra method of English obviously.

I’ve found that giving off a bad vibe can be useful. It just takes a little bit of method acting.

Imagine, for example, that you’re an enraged serial killer who hasn’t butchered anyone all day, and you’re feeling A REALLY STRONG URGE to slice someone up into little teensy pieces and eat them raw.

I guarantee that if you put yourself in that frame of mind, and perhaps combine it with the hard look as suggested by Henry82 you will be able to walk through a Volvo load of student politicians unmolested. It certainly works for me. Also beneficial for dealing with obnoxious charity panhandlers in Civic.

Honestly, do you ever actually post anything that doesn’t involve whining and/or moaning about students or Gen Y in general?

No.

This.

They dont talk to me in union court, i give them a hard look then just walk straight through

Hey, kinda like learning to drive, we were all younger students once! Some may still be. So for those of us who have all grown up, simply smile and shake your head at ‘those scruffy tearaways’ and their crazy highjinks!
