Send your photos to [email protected] or do a search for ‘Top Banana@Warwick SU’ on Facebook and

upload them there. We’ll print the best ones in future issues!

With Term 2 well underway, we’re almost halfway through the year already - however, fear not, as there’s loads going on over the next two weeks to keep you occupied away from the devil that is your degree.

Week 4 is One World Week! Whether you like it or not, you’re not going to be able to miss the explosion of global culture hitting campus. Expect food from around the world in our outlets, carnivals, talks, fashion shows, sports tournaments, the first Varsity 2011 match and more nights out than should ever be squeezed into a week (Mark Ronson will be here!)

- AND THAT’S NOT ALL! Election fever is about to hit campus. If you fancy running in the upcoming elections either to be a part time officer or take my job for next year and run to be a Sabb, nominate yourself before Friday Week 3.

- AND THAT’S STILL NOT ALL! The Warwick and Global Advantage Awards have launched for 2011. If you’ve had extra-curricular stuff going on whilst at Warwick, go to www.warwicksu.com/advantage, fill in a form about what you’ve been up to and get recognition for your exploits that will go on your degree transcript. You’d be daft not to!

…THAT’S ALL!

intro • news in brief • spank gets papped

spank gets papped!Have you encountered that cheeky Top B chimp Spank getting up to a little monkey business on campus? We’re talking antics, tomfoolery and shenanigans - frankly, it must not go undocumented. If so, whip out your phone and pap the little beggar.

news in briefwarwick inspireAre you ready to inspire the next generation of University students?

In conjunction with Teach First, Warwick SU is running an exciting scheme which takes Warwick Students into local schools, conducting workshops and talking about their University experiences.

In a time when the future of higher education is in flux, this is a real opportunity to give something back to the community by raising the aspirations of some of the most disadvantaged children in the West Midlands.

varsity 2011 - ice hockey The first key match of this year’s Varsity Season takes place in Week 4, as we take on those chancers from Cov Uni over at Planet Ice in Coventry. Oh, we know it’s supposed be just a bit of friendly rivalry, but really it goes much further than that: this is about pride, it’s about passion, and it’s about giving Cov Polytechnic (sorry, we mean ‘University’! What are we saying?!) a thorough schooling in just who the daddy is.

Buses leave the Piazza at 6.30pm, and tickets are available now via the SU website - simply search for ‘Varsity 2011’ to grab yourself a slice of the action!

warwick cultural thai night 2011Warwick Thai Society proudly presents Thai Night, composed of five unique Thai performances themed around the concept ‘Five Wonders, Five Impressions’. Moreover, they will provide you with many kinds of traditional activities, along with games you can participate to win special Thai gifts.

Join Warwick Thai Society on 7th February at The Copper Rooms, from 8pm - 11pm as a distinguished guest! Buy tickets from your Thai friends or via [email protected].

Applications close on Tuesday 15th February, and you can apply now at www.warwicksu.com/inspire.

If you’d like more information, please email the SU Education Officer, Sean Ruston, on [email protected].

union officer elections nominations

Have you ever wanted to play a more active role in the running of YOUR Students’ Union? Well, here is the perfect opportunity. Officer Elections 2011 are fast approaching and there is no better way to be involved in your Union than to stand for a position. With part-time positions that you undertake whilst doing your degree and seven full-time Sabbatical positions available, there is something for everyone! Not only is this a brilliant opportunity to expand your CV, but it is also a great way to contribute to the running of your Union.

Any student can stand for a position - all you have to do is nominate yourself online and drop off a paper form to the Democratic Services Office in SUHQ by Friday Week 3.

So what’s involved? The elected positions give you a seat on Union Council, one of the Students’ Union’s decision-making bodies. At Council meetings, policy is discussed and enacted that affects the way the Union is run. Positions include:

one world week 2011: saturday 29th january, wk 3 - saturday 5th february, wk 4

one world weekWarwick is one of the UK’s most culturally diverse

campuses, and each year we celebrate this fact by mounting the biggest student-run festival anywhere in the world: OWW.

OWW encompasses a series of cultural, sporting, academic and night-events held on campus aiming to bring together all spheres of student life

whilst showcasing the talents of Warwick SU’s Cultural, Performing and Sporting Societies. Campus will come alive through a series of debates & discussions, parades

& performances, sporting tournaments & events, plus cultural exhibitions & workshops.

This year’s daytime Festival programme will see the Union transformed into different regions of the world throughout the week:

Monday: ○ Middle East and Africa Experience

Tuesday: ○ IndoAsia Experience

Wednesday: ○ East Asiania Experience

Thursday: ○ America & Caribbean Experience

Friday: ○ Europe Experience

Watch as OWW takes over your outlets with curries and noodles in Xananas; American milkshakes and fortune cookies in Curiositea; bagels and kebabs in the Bread Oven

along with gumbo and ribs in The Dirty Duck.

This year’s night-time events feature a DJ set from MARK RONSON, together with the World Party, SensAsian and Busta Move. Elsewhere there’s the

OWW Fashion Show and Carnival, together with a host of high-profile speakers debating important global issues.

There really is something for everyone during OWW - get stuck in and make the

most of it!
