Capping Week

Capping Week

Despite shit being thrown from certain quarters, Procesh is on in a big way. Capping week should be a ball for all students.

For a change it is being organised. A committee of ten is being led by well known teetotaller Graham Kershaw. New ideas and improvements have been put forward and the committee is enthusiastic about capping week's success. This success will, however, depend on participation by students.

So Get Involved in Capping Week. You just might enjoy yourselves. After all that is the idea of the whole thing.

In the past Capping has been dominated by a hard core of shabby law students and Weir House types. This year, activities are being planned so that all students will be able to participate and enjoy themselves.

The emphasis will be on the whole week of Capping not just Procesh day which will be on 5th May. The excuse for the acts of vulgar exhibitionism that accompany Procesh is that we collect for charity. Last year over $1200 was collected, this year we want to get more (this also helps to offset public outrage). There will also be an afternoon at Varsity for orphans and underprivileged children: Any other ideas along these lines would be most welcome. Here's your chance to do something worthwhile.

Procesh day itself will be a good day for all students, male and female, to get involved. The standard of floats will be greatly improved. There will be no guys just sinking piss on the back of trucks. After the procession, there will be a drink and dance at a city establishment. There will be no drinking at pubs this year. It is hoped to run the drinking horn and pie eating contest there as well, and perhaps announce the winners of the Miss Vic. contest. Providing things don't get too out of hand the dancing will continue on into the evening. If students co-operate this should be a great show.

The week's activities will include:

Capping Ball: Friday 30th April Only $6.00 double. Tickets soon.

Miss Vic. Contest: Sponsors and their chicks contact Pete Cooney, Phone 43-068. Great prizes both for sponsors and entrants.
