Now that the madness of Freshers is out of the way, you’ll all have suddenly realised that there’s plenty of work to be getting on with – but never fear, we’re still here to make sure you stay relaxed, watered, fed and having fun!

Hopefully you went to the Sports and Societies Fairs in the first week, but if not then it’s never too late to get involved – just visit the respective websites, browse, and join up. Trust me when I say they’ll always be glad to receive new members at any time of year!

Everything we do is for the benefit of students, which is why we hope you enjoyed our events, services and outlets during the start of the year – but we know there’s always room for improvement. If you’ve got any ideas or feedback, just get in touch – it’s my job to care and enact change on your behalf! Either e-mail me ([email protected]) or grab me for a chat if you ever see me around.

Read on into The Bubble to find out what’s going on around campus over the next couple of weeks and make sure you don’t miss out.

PS - Snow Tour went on sale last Friday – if you’re not signed up then why not?!

intro • news in brief • and finally... a word in your ear

and finally… a word in your ear!On the next page, you’ll find out all about the new developments in the building over the last couple of months. Needless to say, the new furniture and facilities are for the benefit of everyone, and so we politely ask that you look after your SU building and its contents!

In particular, please don’t stand on the sofas (particularly those in The Copper Rooms if you’re wearing heels!) as

obviously this is liable to cause damage to the upholstery.

Aside from that, feel free to relax and lounge to your hearts’ content in the new-look Warwick SU!

news in briefhall warsWith a sell-out capacity and innumerable ludicrous antics on display, we can confirm that the first Hall Wars event during Week 2 was a roaring success – congratulations to Cryfield, who were officially crowned the best halls on campus after a close tie-breaker with Rootes! Of course, we wouldn’t like them to get complacent, so we’ll be giving you all a chance to challenge them for their crown again in the future. Watch this space…

g.u.m. clinic tuesday week 4Right then! Let’s talk about sex – or, more specifically, sexually transmitted infections. A thoroughly nasty business, we’re sure you’ll agree – and that’s why we run free, confidential G.U.M. Clinics during term-time here in the SU so that you can get yourself checked out for STIs.

warwick student cinema – free screeningOn Tuesday 25th October (Week 4), your very own student-run campus cinema will be hosting a free screening of The Butterfly Effect – the event is open to everyone, and there will be a quiz afterwards with prizes.

(n.b. Warwick Student Cinema’s All-Nighter will take place on Friday 18th November, not Tuesday Week 4 as previously advertised on the Warwick SU Wallplanner).

Whether you’ve had unprotected sex or not in the last few weeks, come along and get tested just to be certain - it never hurts to have a clean bill of health!

Our first clinic of term will run on Tuesday 25th October (Week 4) from 10am in Copper Rooms 2.

Don’t forget that the society also runs a rolling season of films throughout the term, including Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Part 2, X-Men: First Class and a midnight screening of Apollo 18 during Weeks 4-5. To check out the full schedule, visit filmsoc.warwick.ac.uk

your new-look Warwick SU

Through the Big 5 survey, RANT Week, Have

Your Say and other feedback channels last year, many of you said you weren’t happy with the

Atrium of your Warwick SU building. Well, we’re pleased to say that in line with your feedback we’ve transformed the Atrium

space. Hopefully you’ve popped by to check it out but, if not:

We’d love to hear your thoughts on what we’ve done with the spaces and are always looking out for new

suggestions! Feel free to send in your feedback at any time to [email protected] or

[email protected].

your new-look

union

We’ve introduced a range of seating – from booths and comfy chairs to ○tables that you can work at.

There’s colour on the walls to add a bit of atmosphere! ○Your Sabbatical Officers are more prominent so you know who represents you. ○We’ve added a blackboard for you to give us your feedback. ○Our mission and vision are up so you know why we’re here. ○We’ve added a ‘Thank You’ wall to thank you for everything you do to ○make Warwick SU as good as it can be.

We’ve also made some changes to The Copper Rooms…

There’s some new seating so you can take a breather on a night out. ○We’ve added some copper to the radiators. ○The cloakroom has a new (permanent) home. ○We’ve given each different space a lick of paint to add to the atmosphere! ○
