Cagey Cosgrove continues caper

Former Victoria University Students’ Association (VUWSA) President Joel Cosgrove has yet to repay his $1200 debt to the association for costs relating to his infamous trip to Australia last year.

As one of the world’s most active fault-lines, the Alpine Fault will be explored by 60 scientists (led by Dr John Townend of Vic Uni), who are inspecting earthquake deformation processes and hopefully drilling some shit.

Brainy Students Get Free Snacks While the Rest of Us Get fewer Tutorials

Last week, Victoria University’s top thirty-four Accounting and Commercial Law students received Awards for Excellence in the annual prize giving ceremony.

Afterwards the recipients and their families were invited to mix and mingle, and to snack on some light refreshments… no wonder some of our tutorial classes are being cut down because of (actual quote) “necessary budget readjustments”.
