Resi News 8th May

By Morgan Pumpa

On Wednesday the 7th of May DUSA held their first Open Mic Night at the SUB. Over 20 people came to watch the wide variety of performers with their ukulele’s, guitars and back-up music. The night started with Louise playing a range of songs on her ukulele and singing before Ben and Blair impressed the crowd with their Chet Faker cover. Georgia conquered her fear of singing in public to sing ‘pumped up kicks’ with Morgan on ukulele. Next Vanessa and Katie sang an Aladdin classic “a whole new world” with back-up music before Morgan finished off the official performances with a Macklemore song. Acts continued throughout the night and was open to all to perform. The night kicked off at 6:30pm and didn’t end until 8:30pm. The night was a great success and there will be more to come this year, maybe even a karaoke night so stay tuned!

International Spotlight: Alix Moews

Cold. Rain. Freezing cold. I thought that I had escaped the cold back home in the snowy land of Iowa, to come to Australia, the “warm, sunny” destination. I guess when people reference Australia they temporarily forget that there is, in fact, a winter season here. Not being able to walk around outside without shoes on has taken a while to get used to, but I got myself a pair of Ugg boots at Target and now I’m all set. Along with the cold, the stress of exams and assignments has been weighing down on me (and everyone else on res), making it even

harder to get out of my bed in the morning...and I know I’m not the only one.

Res sports have been keeping me occupied (and distracted) from doing my classwork, especially when I have quite a few friends and housemates playing. I normally hate watching sport, but if I know who’s playing, I can spare my attention...and my yelling...for a few hours.

My mind was blown last night by a lot of my friends when I found out that they have voices that sound as if angels had made a home in my ears. Who knew that everyone on res was so talented? More than that, they got up on stage and rocked it, without much nerves. I just want everyone who performed last night to know that you are all my idols...and you can take turns serenading me if you’d like.

Lastly, I would like to thank this graffiti artist for answering every question my friends from back home ask me in one simple patch of cement:

Intercampus Clash

Unfortunately due to large amounts of people pulling out of the teams today we have had to withdraw Warrnambool entry. This is very disappointing for the Warrnambool Campus. Much time and money has been put into this event by Wolves members and the event organizers in Geelong. Apologies to all those who have gotten off work or changed plans to play. Events run for the student body can only do so with student support can commitment from those students.
