Capping has traditionally been a time for drunken revelry, terrorising the locals and generally having a good time. Those of us who have been around for 4-5 years will be able to tell you all about the good old bad old days of Capping. But those days are gone and we now have the good old now days.

The now days Capping program is brought to you by the Studass Executive and promises more and better than last year. There is something for everyone in Capping and if you want to get anything out of it you must participate.

What's On

'Flop Flop (to be taken orally)'

Capping Revue - Monday to Thursday 8pm, Friday and Saturday 8pm and 11pm. Memorial Theatre.

A Cappint Stunt must be distinguished from the treasure hunt. The Stunt generally do not involve the kidnapping or borrowing of any [unclear: chatels], rather it is directed more at misdirection of the public by way of general pranks

eg taking over the Brian Edward Talk back show.

and a door to door survey in Glenmore street registering objections to the second airport being in the Botanical gardens.

All stunts must be registered and approved at the Studass office before the stunt eventuates, so the VUWSA can accept some legal responsibility.

Saturday 1 May

8.00pm

Capping Ball: The Capping Ball is the final event of Capping Week and will be a ripper. For the paltry sum of $18 double we, in our infinite wisdom, have seen fit to provide a sumptuous meal (prepared by the one and only Gerry Borens), wine, boundless supplies of numerous alcoholic beverages and music by Tapestry with special guest Larry Morris. The Ball will be preceded by a bubbly half-hour downstairs in the Cafe at 8.00pm which will be guaranteed to put you on the right track for a great night out.
