The giant conga line which snaked through the Sports Hall, was so large we were first alerted to it by NASA. Reports suggest that SU President Chris Clements was held up in this monstruous man snake and was therefore un-able to return to the SU.

Which historical figure would you fight and why?“Winston Churchill, I would fight him on the beaches old fashioned style with fisticuffs.”

‘Sandy Pugilist’ from Solsbury

Fresher of the night

Fuck the weather

‘Directory Dude’ from City.This enterprising fresher decided that he would go around campus collecting numbers and names. Men, women, crew - he took any-one’s details.What mintyfresh particu-larly liked about this one man

mission to gather all this in-formation was his commit-ment to the gathering of new information. This makes him a fine candidate for Student Media, as are the rest of you. We are really not that picky.Incidentally, fuck the data protection act.

The Vice Chancellor’s speech was an event that compelled throngs of freshers to throw off the yokes of their hangovers to listen attentively to our glorious leader’s address. While most students felt suitably roused,

four young anarchists felt a vis-ceral reaction to her authority and proceeded to vomit. Some appeasers have suggested that this co-ordinated display of technicolour protest was a re-sult of excessive drunkenness

the night before. mintyfresh is disgusted that anyone would deny such a dedicated display of political activism. This gen-eration needs all the non-apa-thetic members it can take.Campus Challenge was, sadly, possibly indefinitely postponed this year. The Weather Gods de-cided that the challenge wasn’t great enough for such a bumper crop of freshers so added gal-lon after gallon of freezing cold rain. Unfortunately, when the Campus Challenge was being devised, neither hypothermia nor dampness were included in the criteria so, in the interests of your continued enjoyment of Freshers’ Week (and any subse-quent living you choose to do), the whole thing was called off. All complaints send to: Odin, Valhalla, Asgard, PO Box 1.Terrible weather was one of the inevitable topics of conversa-tion at the meet and greet for International students hosted by the International Student Advice Team as part of the

LINC (Life in a New Culture) scheme. The meet and greet was a thoroughly British affair, with cream teas and awkward introductions. As chatter re-bounded throughout the room, borders were broken down and the beginnings of friendships were founded. Later on the stu-dents were led in a challenging quiz. The main topic seemed to be our beloved Kate and Wills, confounding those Internation-als who haven’t yet acquainted themselves with Britain’s fa-vourite national treasures.Later on in the evening a group of charming postgrads all met up for some high-speed friend making in the Claverton Rooms, thereby proving that age does not bring more confi-dence and ease when forming relationships. Basically, as Uni-versity of Bath students we’re all in the same boat; we’re all just as shit at introductions as each other. Rejoice in the awk-wardness everyone, we all fit in here.
