FROMTHE

EDITORS

Breaking up is never easy, I know, but we have to go. Knowing me, knowing you…we’re breaking up over the summer due to the inevitable passage of time and the academic structure of the university year. But this break-up has nothing to do with you, really... trust us! It’s not you…it’s us. Really. Actually, we aren’t really breaking up. It’s more of a ‘break’ thing that modern couples do, right? We’ll be back together soon don’t worry, and while we can’t tell each other about any of the wild things

I know we were kinda compatible...but there just hasn’t been any chemistry in the last few months. I feel like we’re looking for different things...

Fear not dear readers…The Hilarian will be back, so don’t worry (or do worry if that prospect

good things will happen in the meantime, yeah? I mean, you won’t have to read anything written by us. And we won’t have to write anything! So really, everyone’s a winner, right? So yes, while this is technically the end of our relationship for the 2012 calendar year we will, like chlamydia, be back all too soon…

several topics of the day. We farewell our editors and introduce the new team for 2013 and we give you the chance to send us some feedback in the form of Adelaide University’s time-honoured tradition: the SELT. Be Gentle. So from all of us here at the Hilarian, may we wish you the best of luck in your exams, a Happy Christmas and the very best of Summers.

Dear Eds,

Like many students I am concerned about how best to perform in my exams. Do you have any tips which would help me exceed my high expectations?

Hash Dee Distinction.

Dear Hash,

You have an attention to study which leaves editors distressed. As for tips for how best to study, may we suggest that you set Bernadette Richards’ lectures to every Phil Collins’ track. While it might seem counter-intuitive, trust us because we (almost) know what we’re doing.

Eds.

Dear Eds,

I’m looking to drink wine while I’m studying. At the moment I’ve found that, when looking for an explanation to the corporations power, a humble shiraz seems to do the trick, and while exploring the implied freedom of political communication I’ve been taking on a quick glass of the latest and best Merlot. Do you know of any cheeky new varieties that could help me in my oenological/constitutional quest?

Much love,

Peter L Robinson

Dear Peter,

It’s clear that you know how to talk about wine so we won’t challenge you on that issue. We would point out that you seem blind to the

We don’t mean to whine,

Eds.

Dear Eds,

I note that your third issue took some time to see its release. Is there a reason for that?

Kindest regards,

A. Reader.

Dear A. Reader

First, thank you very much for bothering to read our ‘magazine’. I should say that the only reason that the magazine has been a bit late lately is that the editors have had better things to do with their time. We also assumed that you had better things to do with your time.

A New

Breed:

Meet the

Editors

for 2013

On the lookout...

As this year’s editors of

the Hilarian wave goodbye to their adoring public, we provide you with a brief introduction of the new and exciting talent that will soon

that you have grown to know and love.

Meet the editors into whose capable hands our beloved and most august magazine will fall next year…

The Hilarian is delighted to announce that Kylie Minogue will be an editor of the magazine next year. Despite a strong bid by Danni Minogue for the position, we could not overlook Kylie’s credentials. Kylie has promised to bring an increased focus on entertainment and fashion news. Unbeknownst to most, Kylie is well-versed in Japanese. which means that she will be bringing you the latest news from our oriental friends including the latest music and fashion trends and news on exactly how many whales they plan on killing in 2013.

Grimace, the one-time McDonalds mascot has, since losing his job several years ago, been looking for a position and has decided to turn his (I think…) skills to writing and editing a student magazine. While he may not have any experience with writing or editing, he has been a member of a business which has successful global operations. Grimace will also put his experience living in Ronald McDonald House to use by providing accommodation advice and tips on the rental market.

While Jeffrey Dahmer has an unfortunate record as a serial killer, and a dead person, The Hilarian was more than happy to take him on as an editor for the magazine given his experience as a ‘people-person’, murderer and sex offender. What was

serial killer, he illustrated a conviction and dedication to something which is more than can be said for the editors for this year.

Finally, the Hilarian is thrilled to announce that Mahmoud

Ahmadinejad is joining the editorial team for 2013. Are his views on the Holocaust controversial? Yes. Is that the sort of thing that could increase readership? Absolutely! While no one likes him, he is undoubtedly good for ratings and for that reason alone we are proud to appoint him an editor for 2013.

1. Summer School

Don’t be fooled into thinking that a course at summer school can’t be fun. It can be a great way to spend the holidays, especially as the university takes the opportunity to run some of the more interesting subjects which can’t be taken during the regular university year. A

particular highlight in 2012 is the groundbreaking new course where students can listen to Shirley Bassey sing the constitutional law course. Or you might like to try the new “Corporate law in your sleep” course where audio-tapes are used in an attempt to passively absorb the corporate veil

principle.

3. Join a Club

people to spend some time enjoying your favourite hobby/activity over the summer. There are plenty of sports clubs at university or you could join rotary, the Girl Guides, or, if you are anything like me, the sex offenders register. (Yes, while it

of some other clubs, its membership is very exclusive and the people really aren’t as bad as people make them out to be) A club is a great way to meet some new people and have some

new experiences!

2. A Clerkship

While this may seem like a terrible way to spend your summer holidays, it is in fact merely a bad way to spend your summer holidays. Is a clerkship good? No. Are there things worse than a clerkship? Yes. And while many of those ‘things’ include human rights atrocities and a breach of at least 3 different United Nations Conventions, that does not necessarily mean that a clerkship is fundamentally evil. Sadly there is nothing you

deep breath and then hold that breath until you pass out.

4. Drinking

If all else fails and life is getting you down, then throw yourself into the gutter, snatch a bottle of cheap red, down the whole thing and repeat. Of course, this plan carries some risks, examples of which include a trip to the local constabulary or, more excitingly, the RAH. There is also a fair chance that you won’t remember any of the upcoming summer once it’s over. You will however be able to come back to uni the next year tired, hung-over, overweight, scruffy and depressed. Which, to be honest, wouldn’t represent much of a change.

Despite not getting out much (as in…at all) Patrick McCaffrie gives you the inside word on four scorching hot ways to spend your summer holidays…

Tame Impala -

Why Won’t They

Talk To Me?

Tame Impala elect to provide a non-answer to a question no one asked. Despite believing that they are loners, this band is surprisingly popular. In fact, most music reviewers are rather eager to talk to any member of the psychedelic super-group who make Pink Floyd look like Bananarama had sex with Natalie Imbruglia. Despite the psycho-trance feel the band

song, this reviewer ultimately felt that it sounded more like a B-52 B-Side with hints of the Baha Men, Paul Anka and super-group Starship. I hated all 3 of those groups and I hated this song. 3 and a half stars

One Direction -

Live While We’re

Young

This is the sort of music that convinces any reviewer worth their salt to listen to white noise with the volume cranked to 11. As this piece lacked any lyrical inspiration, the music had a lot of catch-up to do. Unfortunately the simple chord structure and year-3-piano fully failed to live up to the task. The endless repetition with which this song is played also leaves this reviewer thinking that less is more. And in this case, nothing is more. 3 and a half stars

Adele –

Skyfall

The didactic surrealism created by the innovative use of trumpets, trombones and other brass instruments leaves the listener with a feeling of apocalyptic fear similar to that created by Wagner’s ‘The Ring Cycle’. The stirring strings create a feeling of anticipation which suits the purpose of writing a theme for a James Bond movie. Unfortunately, the song is let down somewhat by the almost vowel-less title of the song and lyrical content which is entirely uninspiring. 3 and a half stars

Rihanna –

Diamonds

This song is not worth as much as the allatrope of carbon with which it shares its title. Incidentally, if Rihanna had the same chemical composition and hardness that diamonds do then Chris Brown would not have posed any risk to her at all. However, if Rihanna had the same semiconductor properties as diamonds then she would likely have eloctructed herself on-stage at some point by now at which point her career

Psy –

Gangnam Style

Psy has been criticised by a truck-load of producers and music executives who all agree that he is a talentless, feckless, impotent, drug-addicted, childless, alcoholic whose success depends entirely on a backroom deal done with Satan. Despite those negative reviews, Psy has experienced unprecedented success based mainly on a silly dance that he believes will guarantee him fame and fortune. Lets be honest, it probably will. Best of luck to the lad! 3 and a half stars

Flo Rida – I Cry

Flo’s musical content aside, this track, and the rest of the album from which it comes, poses a potent challenge to the boring, hum-drum world of hip-hop from which Flo Rida seeks to escape. Lyrically, this album challenges T. S. Eliot for content and makes Wilfred Owen look like a Hallmark hack. Flo lays down fat chops like a chef in an offal restaurant. The only downside here is that Flo seems unwilling to tackle the somewhat heavier lyrical content that he has in the past like the role of multi-grain bread in the disassembling of 21st Century society. Despite all of this…3 and a half stars

Fun –

Some Nights

One can only describe the name of this band as borderline deliberately misleading and deceptive conduct. Nothing about this track, or any of the songs released by this turgid group, even remotely approaches ‘fun’. On the title track, lead singer Nate Reuss declares that “I was never one to believe the hype”. Well I’m certainly glad we agree on something Nate. 3 and a half stars.

Sydney Swans –

‘Cheer, Cheer

the Red and the

White’

Despite being somewhat overplayed lately, the discordant piano and clashing vocal harmonies bring to mind early Stravinsky with undertones of late-period Stockhausen. The dissonance of the lyrical and musical content brings to the audience a deliberately ironically clear message about the frailty of humanity and the nature of social unrest

crescendo reminds us of the inevitable chasm of death into which we will all, one-day, sink. 3 and a half stars

The Adelaide

Law Student’s

HOW TO: JUSTIFY YOUR PROCRASTINATION

Now we both know a good law student like you would never procrastinate. However, say-for-example-on-the-rare-chance-that-one-time-you-did . . . we both know that

but…” activities. They’re undeniable and will make any accusations of you being a

procrastinator look like they’re coming from a procrasti-hater.1

Television/Movies

If your assignment is due tomorrow or you’re going to attempt some seminar prep then fear might try to pull you on to the couch, then guilt might try to tear you away from it. However, recent statistics may reveal that 80% of law students who watch law themed television materials instead of doing their readings are more likely to get HDs each semester.2 Ninety percent of the time, it works everytime.3 Also, it can increase motivation. In the last week alone, two separate people have told me that they were able to get successfully excited about Law School by watching the newly acclaimed Suits. Therefore, by making viewing choices like Boston Legal or

awareness of the realities of what your future law career will be like (Hollywood looks, American accents and all).

Coffee dates

Catching up with your friends is never procrastination from work if it involves caffeinated beverages… It’s simple maths, really. Caffeine = less likely to fall asleep on top of a pile of case notes = distinctions.

Facebook

During a two hour law lecture make a FaceyB status/wallpost4 complaining about said lecture. Then see the amount of people in that room who ‘like’ it... go on. Even if you have only one mutual friend in the room (and assuming they’re too lazy to hand write), they will probably click that ‘like’ button within a second. The whole point of this experiment is not that science is way easier than law… it is that, in my humble view, the book of choice for law kids is the all mighty book of face. So, when the

You could discuss a group assignment, send notes over inbox, make a really lame study event or keep up with the law chats group. Facebooking in this way is so productive that we should be able to get our law degrees just by logging in!

As I approached the end of my law degree, the mantra that I repeated over and over to myself was

‘I will move to Canberra and work in the public service’. Well that is a lie, yet that is where I have

found myself, in a ‘city’ that bureaucracy built.

Canberra has a somewhat negative perception as being a soulless collection of roundabouts and

cubicles with no reason to exist other than to give a place for public servants to have coffee and bitch

about Canberra. And that perception is true to some extent. Living in Canberra is like living in a

very nicely manicured park with a conspicuous lack of people.

But don’t let that put you off selling your soul to become a career public servant! In order to

encourage more of you young lads and lasses to consider strapping yourself to the public service

rocket, let me list some of the positives of a Canberra lifestyle:

Flextime: The most magic of all public service inventions, if you work anytime over your standard

7.5 hours a day, this becomes flextime which you can take off at any time in the future! You can

literally do you whole 37.5 hour work week in just over 1.5 days and then the rest of the week is

yours to think about those poor souls shackled to their desks all night in law firms with ‘real’ jobs.

Acronyms: Everything in Canberra can be reduced to an acronym, why the public service itself is

known as the APS. Come and work for the APS and soon you’ll be peppering your conversation

with the likes of EL1, SES, DIAC and my personal favourite DIIRSTE, which sounds like a long-

forgotten Christina Aguilera remix.

Celebrities, celebrities, celebrities: Living in the national capital means that you can get up close

and personal with the nation’s living treasures – politicians! One day you might be haggling over

the price of a second-hand sofa bed with Julia Gillard and the next day you might be sharing a

rumba class with Christopher Pyne. Not only that, but Jackie Chan’s parents live in Canberra! Keep

that autograph book handy as who knows who is around the corner!

Floriade: Every September, Canberra has a four-week long flower festival! Flowers! Fun! Four weeks!

Where do I sign up?

Obscure agencies: Don’t be content with working for a Department which people may have heard

of, there are nearly 300 individual agencies to choose from. Why not try your luck at the

Commonwealth Food and Midwifery Industry Regulator (CoFMIR) or the Australian Asparagus

Research Council (AARC) or even the Federal Manicurists Ombudsman (FMO).

Confused tourists: The number one pastime in Canberra is meeting confused tourists when they

realize that Canberra, not Sydney, is the capital of Australia! The top two questions are “Why does

this place exist?” and “Why am I here?”

Alcohol in supermarkets: In a welcome attempt to lure the more liquored in the community, the

ACT allows supermarkets to sell alcohol, so no need for a separate trip to a bottle-o for you! All your

shopping can be cut down to one trip, especially if your shopping only consists of soup for one and

wine for six.

Sydney: Canberra is only a three hour drive from Sydney. Sydney is a better place.

So if that cannot tempt you into saddling onto the public service express with a one-way ticket to

Canberra, then nothing will. But I have a feeling I will see some of your fresh faces here next year

for a life of delicious government comfort.
